Exodus 12
1 Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me there in Egypt,
Og Herren talede til Mose og Aron i Ægyptens Land og sagde:
2 “[From now on], this month [will be] the first month of the year for you.
Denne Maaned skal være eder Maanedernes Begyndelse, den skal være eder den første iblandt Maanederne i Aaret.
3 Tell all the Israeli people that in each family, the man who heads the family must select a lamb or a young goat for his household.
Taler til al Israels Menighed og siger: Paa den tiende Dag i denne Maaned, da skulle de tage sig hver et Lam for hvert Fædrenehus, eet Lam for hvert Hus.
4 If there are not enough people in his family to eat a whole [cooked] lamb, then his family and the family that lives next door may share one animal. Decide how many lambs you need according to the number of people in each family, and according to how much each person can eat.
Og dersom Huset ikke er talrigt nok til et Lam, da skal han og hans Nabo, som er næst ved hans Hus, tage et, efter Antallet paa Personerne; I skulle regne til et Lam, efter hvad enhver kan æde til.
5 The lambs or goats that you choose must be males, one-year-old, and they must not have any defects.
Det skal være eder et lydeløst, eet Aar gammelt Vædderlam; I skulle tage det af Faarene eller af Gederne.
6 You must take [special] care of these animals until the 14th day of the month. On that day, all the Israeli people must slaughter the lambs [or goats] in the evening.
Og det skal være hos eder i Forvaring til den fjortende Dag i denne Maaned; og de skulle slagte det, hele Israels Menigheds Forsamling, imellem de tvende Aftener.
7 Then they must take some of the blood [from the lambs or goats], and they must smear it on the doorposts and the (lintels/horizontal beams above the doorways) of the houses in which they will eat the meat.
Og de skulle tage af Blodet og stryge paa begge Dørstolperne og paa det øverste Dørtræ af Husene, i hvilke de æde det.
8 They must roast the animals immediately and eat the meat that night. They must eat it with bread that is baked without yeast and with bitter herbs.
Og de skulle æde Kødet den samme Nat, stegt ved Ild, og med usyrede Brød til beske Urter skulle de æde det.
9 You must not eat any of the meat raw, and you must not boil the meat. You must roast it [whole], without cutting off the head or the legs or removing the internal parts.
I skulle ikke æde noget deraf raat eller kogt i Vand, men stegt ved Ild, med dets Hoved, med dets Skanker og med dets Indvolde.
10 You must eat all the meat that evening; do not let any of the meat remain [to be eaten] the next morning. If any of the meat is left until the next morning, you must [completely] burn it.
Og I skulle ikke levne noget deraf til om Morgenen; men det, som levnes deraf til om Morgenen, skulle I opbrænde med Ild.
11 When you eat it, you must be dressed ready to travel, and you must eat it quickly. You must have your sandals on your feet and your walking stick in your hands. It will be a festival [called] Passover to [honor] me, Yahweh.
Og saaledes skulle I æde det: Eders Lænder skulle være ombundne, eders Sko paa eders Fødder og eders Kæp i eders Haand; og I skulle æde det med Hast; det er Paaske for Herren.
12 On that night I will go through all the country of Egypt, and I will kill all the oldest males in Egypt, both humans and animals. [By doing this] I will show that all the gods in Egypt are worthless. [I can do this], because I am Yahweh, [the all-powerful God].
Thi jeg vil gaa igennem Ægyptens Land den samme Nat og slaa alle førstefødte i Ægyptens Land, baade af Mennesker og Kvæg, og jeg vil holde Dom over alle Ægypternes Guder; jeg er Herren.
13 The blood [that you smear on the doorways will be a mark to indicate] the houses in which you [Israelis] live. When I see the blood, I will [ignore and] pass by those houses, and I will not harm you [Israelis who live there], when I punish the Egyptians.
Og Blodet skal være eder til et Tegn paa Husene, i hvilke I ere, og jeg vil se Blodet og gaa eder forbi; og der skal ingen Plage være iblandt eder til Fordærvelse, naar jeg slaar Ægyptens Land.
14 [Each year], you must celebrate this festival on this day, to remember [what I], Yahweh, [have done for you]. In all the generations to come, [each year] you must celebrate [this festival]. [It must continue] forever.
Og denne Dag skal være for eder til en Ihukommelse, og den skulle I højtideligholde som Højtid for Herren; hos eders Efterkommere til en evig Skik skulle I højtideligholde den.
15 For seven days you must eat bread that has no yeast in it. On the first day of that week you must get rid of all the yeast that is in your houses. During those seven days, if anyone eats bread that is baked with yeast in it, [you must consider] that person to be no longer an Israeli.
I skulle æde usyrede Brød syv Dage, paa den første Dag skulle I holde op at bruge Surdejg i eders Huse; thi hver den, som æder syret Brød fra den første Dag indtil den syvende Dag, den Sjæl skal udryddes af Israel.
16 On the first day [of that week], you must (have a holy meeting/gather together to [worship] me). You must do the same thing on the seventh day. People must not work on those two days. The only work they may do is to prepare food for you to eat.
Og paa den første Dag skal der være for eder en hellig Sammenkaldelse, og paa den syvende Dag en hellig Sammenkaldelse; der skal ikke gøres noget Arbejde paa dem, alene det, som skal ædes af hver Person, det alene maa tilberedes for eder.
17 [Every year] you must keep celebrating this festival of eating bread that has no yeast in it, because it will remind you that it was on this day that I brought all your tribal groups out of Egypt. So [every year], in all the generations to come, you must celebrate this day as a festival. It must continue forever.
Og I skulde holde de usyrede Brøds Højtid; thi paa den selvsamme Dag udførte jeg eders Hære af Ægyptens Land; derfor skulle I holde denne Dag hos eders Efterkommere til en evig Skik.
18 In the first month of the year, on the 14th day of that month, the only bread you may eat is bread that has no yeast in it. You must keep doing that each day until the 21st day of that month. For those seven days you must not have any yeast in your house. [During that time], if anyone, either an Israeli or a foreigner, eats bread made with yeast, you must consider that person no longer to be an Israeli.
I den første Maaned paa den fjortende Dag i Maaneden, om Aftenen skulle I æde usyrede Brød, indtil den een og tyvende Dag i Maaneden om Aftenen.
Syv Dage skal der ikke findes Surdejg i eders Huse; thi hver den, som æder syret Brød, den Sjæl skal udryddes af Israels Menighed, hvad enten han er fremmed eller en indfødt i Landet.
20 In your houses, do not eat anything that has yeast in it during those seven days.”
Intet syret skulle I æde, I skulle æde usyrede Brød i alle eders Boliger.
21 Then Moses/I summoned all the leaders of the Israeli people. He/I said to them, “Each family should select a lamb and kill it, [in order that you may eat it to celebrate the festival that will be called] ‘Passover’.
Da kaldte Mose ad alle de ældste af Israel og sagde til dem: Henter frem og tager eder smaat Kvæg for eders Slægter og slagter Paaskelammet.
22 Let the lamb’s blood [drain into] a basin. Get a bunch/sprig of (hyssop/a very leafy plant) and dip it in the blood. Then smear some of the blood on the doorposts and the (lintels/beams above the doorways) [of your houses]. The people in each house must all stay inside the house until the next morning.
Og I skulle tage et Knippe Isop og dyppe i Blodet, som er i Bækkenet, og stryge paa det øverste Dørtræ og paa begge Dørstolperne af Blodet, som er i Bækkenet; og ingen af eder skal gaa ud af sit Huses Dør, før om Morgenen.
23 When Yahweh goes throughout Egypt to kill the [oldest male in each] Egyptian family, he will see the blood on the (lintels/beams of your doorways), and he will [ignore and] pass by those houses. He will not allow the angel who causes people to die to enter your houses and kill [any of] your [oldest sons].
Og Herren skal gaa igennem for at slaa Ægypterne, og han skal se Blodet paa det øverste Dørtræ og paa begge Dørstolperne, og Herren skal gaa Døren forbi og ikke tilstede Fordærveren at komme til eders Huse for at slaa.
24 You and your descendants must celebrate this festival forever.
Derfor skulle I varetage dette til en Skik for dig og for dine Børn evindeligen.
25 And when you arrive in the land that Yahweh will be giving to you as he promised, you must keep celebrating this ritual [every year].
Og det skal ske, naar I komme til Landet, som Herren skal give eder, som han har sagt, da skulle I varetage denne Tjeneste.
26 When your children ask you, ‘What does this ritual mean?’,
Og det skal ske, naar eders Børn sige til eder: Hvad er dette for en Tjeneste, som I have for?
27 you must tell them, ‘This ritual is [to remember how our ancestors] sacrificed [lambs] on the night that Yahweh’s angel passed by the houses of the Israeli people [when they were] in Egypt. He killed the [oldest males/sons in all] the Egyptian houses, but he spared [the sons in] [MTY] our houses.’” After Moses/I told them this, they all bowed their heads and worshiped [Yahweh].
da skulle I sige: Det er Paaskeoffer for Herren, som gik Israels Børns Huse forbi i Ægypten, der han slog Ægypterne og friede vore Huse; saa bøjede Folket sig og tilbad.
28 Then the Israeli people did what Yahweh had told Aaron and Moses/me [to tell them to do].
Og Israels Børn gik hen og gjorde det; efter som Herren havde befalet Mose og Aron, saa gjorde de.
29 At midnight Yahweh killed all the oldest sons of the Egyptian people, all over Egypt. That included the king’s oldest son, the oldest sons of the prisoners in the dungeon/jail, and [the oldest sons of everyone else]. He also killed the oldest males of all the Egyptians’ livestock.
Og det skete om Midnatten, da slog Herren alle førstefødte i Ægyptens Land, fra den førstefødte for Farao, som sad paa sin Trone, indtil den førstefødte for den fangne, som var i Fængslets Hus, og alle førstefødte af Kvæget.
30 That night the king, all his officials, and [all the rest of] the Egyptian people awoke [and discovered what had happened]. They wailed loudly all over Egypt, because in every house, someone’s son had died.
Da stod Farao op samme Nat og alle hans Tjenere og alle Ægypterne, og der blev et stort Skrig i Ægypten; thi der var ikke eet Hus, at der jo var en død deri.
31 That night the king summoned Aaron and Moses/me and said, “You and all the [other] Israeli people, must leave my country [immediately]! Go and worship Yahweh, as you requested!
Og han kaldte Mose og Aron om Natten og sagde: Gører eder rede, gaar ud af mit Folks Midte, baade I, saa og Israels Børn, og gaar, tjener Herren, som I have sagt.
32 Take your flocks [of sheep and goats] and herds [of cattle], and leave! And ask Yahweh to bless me, also!”
Tager baade eders Faar og eders Øksne, som I have sagt, og gaar, og I skulle ogsaa velsigne mig.
33 Then the Israeli people did as Moses/I had told them. They [went to] their Egyptian [neighbors] and asked them for silver and gold jewelry and clothing.
Og Ægypterne trængte haardt paa Folket for hastigen at faa dem ud af Landet; thi de sagde: Vi dø alle.
34 Yahweh caused the Egyptian people to greatly respect the [Israeli] people, so they gave them what they asked for. In that way, they carried away the wealth of the Egyptian people.
Saa tog Folket sin Dejg op, før den blev syret, deres Dejgtruge, indsvøbte i deres Kapper, paa deres Skuldre.
35 The Egyptians urged the [Israeli] people to leave their country quickly. They said, “[If you do not do that], we will all die!”
Og Israels Børn havde gjort efter Mose Ord og begæret af Ægypterne Sølvkar og Guldkar og Klæder.
36 So the [Israeli] people [prepared to leave at once]. They took the bowls in which they mixed the dough to make bread, and the dough that was in the bowls without any yeast in it, and they wrapped the bowls in their cloaks. They put the bowls on their shoulders [and left].
Og Herren havde givet Folket Naade for Ægypternes Øjne, saa at de lode dem faa dem; og de skilte Ægypterne derved.
37 The Israeli people traveled from Rameses [city] to Succoth [town]. There were about 600,000 men who went, in addition to the women and children.
Saa rejste Israels Børn fra Raamses til Sukot, henved seks Hundrede Tusinde Mænd til Fods, foruden smaa Børn.
38 Many other people who were not Israelis went along with them. There were also livestock, the flocks [of sheep and goats] and herds [of cattle].
Ja og en stor Hob af alle Haande Folk drog op med dem, og Faar og Øksne, ja saare meget Kvæg.
39 On their way, they baked bread with the dough that they carried with them when they had been expelled from Egypt. The dough did not have yeast in it, because they were told to leave Egypt so quickly that they did not have enough time to get food ready to take with them, or enough time to mix yeast in the dough.
Og de bagte af den Dejg, som de førte fra Ægypten, usyrede Kager, thi den var ikke syret; fordi de vare uddrevne af Ægypten og kunde ikke tøve og havde end ikke beredt sig Tæring.
40 The Israeli people had lived in Egypt 430 years.
Og Israels Børn havde boet udi Ægypten i fire Hundrede Aar og tredive Aar.
41 On the day that those 430 years ended, on that very day, all the tribes of Yahweh’s people left Egypt.
Og det skete, der fire Hundrede og tredive Aar vare til Ende, ja det skete lige paa den samme Dag, da udgik alle Herrens Hære af Ægyptens Land.
42 It was a night when Yahweh (protected/guarded over) them as he brought them out of Egypt. So this same night every year is a night that is dedicated to Yahweh, a night when the Israeli people in every generation [remember how] Yahweh protected our ancestors.
Denne er en Nat, som toges i Agt af Herren for at udføre dem af Ægyptens Land; den samme Nat skal tages i Agt for Herren af alle Israels Børn hos deres Efterkommere.
43 Then Yahweh said this to Aaron and Moses/me: “These are my instructions about the Passover ritual: Do not let foreigners eat [the Passover meal]. But any male slaves that you have bought may eat it after you have circumcised them.
Og Herren sagde til Mose og Aron: Denne er Paaskens Skik: Ingen fremmed skal æde deraf.
Men enhver Svend, som hører nogen til, og som er købt for Penge, maa, naar du faar omskaaret ham, æde deraf.
45 Do not let people who are living among you temporarily, or servants whom you have hired, eat [the Passover meal].
Ingen Gæst eller Lejesvend skal æde deraf.
46 Each family must eat the Passover meal inside their own house. Do not take any of the food outside the house. And do not break any of the bones of the lamb that is sacrificed.
Det skal ædes i eet Hus, du skal ikke udbære af Kødet udenfor Huset; og I skulle ikke bryde Ben derpaa.
47 All the Israeli people must celebrate this festival.
Al Israels Menighed skal gøre det.
48 When someone from another country comes to live with you and wants to celebrate the Passover Festival, circumcise all the males in his household. Then they may eat the Passover meal, and you should treat those people as though they were born as Israelis. But do not allow men who have not been circumcised to eat the Passover meal.
Og naar nogen fremmed opholder sig hos dig og vil holde Paaske for Herren, da skal alt hans Mandkøn omskæres, og da maa han have Adgang til at holde den og være som en indfødt i Landet; men ingen, som har Forhud, skal æde deraf.
49 These rules apply to people who were born as Israelis and to foreigners who come and live among you.”
Der skal være een Lov for den indfødte og for den fremmede, som opholder sig midt iblandt eder.
50 All the Israeli people obeyed Aaron and Moses/me and did what Yahweh had commanded.
Og alle Israels Børn gjorde det; som Herren havde befalet Mose og Aron, saa gjorde de.
51 On that very day Yahweh brought all the tribes of the Israeli people out of Egypt.
Og det skete lige paa den samme Dag, at Herren udførte Israels Børn af Ægyptens Land med deres Hære.
