Leviticus 16
1 After the two sons of Aaron died because they burned incense to Yahweh [in a manner that was contrary to what Yahweh commanded], Yahweh spoke to Moses/me.
Då dei tvo Arons-sønerne var slokna, dei som laut døy for di dei gjekk fram for Herrens åsyn, då tala Herren til Moses,
2 He said to him/me, “Warn your [older] brother Aaron that he must not enter the Very Holy Place inside the curtain that is in the Sacred Tent whenever he wants to, because the cover of the sacred chest is there. That is the place where the priest (makes atonement for/requests me to forgive) sins. I am present in the cloud that is over the cover of the sacred chest. If Aaron goes in that room when it is not the proper time, he will die!
og sagde til honom: «Seg med Aron, bror din, at han ikkje må ganga inn i heilagdomen, innanfor forhenget og fram åt kista med kerubarne, kva tid han vil; då kunde han missa livet; for uppyver kerubarne syner eg meg i skyi.
3 “When Aaron enters the Sacred Tent area, he must bring a bull that [will be killed] to become an offering/sacrifice for sins, and a ram [to be killed] to be an offering that will be completely burned [on the altar].
Soleis lyt Aron vera budd når han skal ganga inn i heilagdomen: Han skal hava med seg ein ung ukse til syndoffer og ein ver til brennoffer.
4 Then he must bathe his whole body, and put on the linen underwear/undershorts and the linen gown. He must tie the linen sash/waistbands around his waist and wrap the turban around his head. Those are his sacred garments.
Og han skal klæda seg i ein vigd linkjole, og hava ei linbrok på seg næst kroppen, og binda eit linbelte kring livet, og sveipa eit linplagg kring hovudet; vigde klæde lyt det vera, og fyrr han tek deim på seg, skal han lauga likamen sin i vatn.
5 The Israeli people must then bring to him two male goats [to be killed] as an offering/sacrifice for sin, and a ram to be [killed and] burned completely [on the altar].
Og av Israels-lyden skal han få tvo geitebukkar til syndoffer og ein ver til brennoffer.
6 “Aaron must offer the bull [to me] to be a sacrifice in order that (I will forgive his sins and the sins of his family/his sins and the sins of his family will be forgiven).
So skal Aron leida fram syndofferuksen sin, og beda for seg og huset sitt.
7 Then he must bring the two male goats to me at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
Og han skal taka båe bukkarne, og leida deim fram for Herrens åsyn i møtetjelddøri.
8 He must (cast lots/throw down stones that have been marked) to determine which goat will be [sacrificed] to me, and which will be the goat that will be set free.
Og han skal draga strå um bukkarne, eit for Herren og eit for Azazel.
9 Aaron must bring to me the goat that was chosen to be sacrificed. It will be an offering for the people’s sins.
Og den bukken som fell på Herrens lut, skal han leida fram og ofra til syndoffer.
10 Aaron must also bring to me the other goat, but it is not to be killed. It will be freed while it is still alive. As a result of Aaron sending it into the desert, the people’s sins will be forgiven.
Men den som fell på Azazels lut, skal leidast livande fram for Herrens åsyn, og dei skal lesa bøner yver honom, og senda honom ut i øydemarki til Azazel.
11 “Then Aaron must bring the young bull to me, to be an offering/sacrifice for himself and for his family. He must slaughter that bull to be an offering for their sins, [and he must drain the blood into a basin].
Når Aron hev leidt fram syndofferuksen sin, og bede for seg og huset sitt, so skal han fyrst slagta uksen,
12 Then he must take some burning coals from the [bronze] altar and put them in the incense burner. Then he must fill his hands with fragrant finely-ground incense. Then he must take the incense and the incense burner inside the curtain into the Very Holy Place [of the Sacred Tent].
og so skal han fylla glodfatet sitt med gløder frå altaret der elden brenn for Herrens åsyn, og taka tvo nevar med finstøytt, angande røykjelse og bera innanfor forhenget,
13 There he must put the incense on the burning coals, with the result that a cloud of burning incense will rise up over the lid of the sacred chest. If he obeys these instructions, he will not die [like Korah’s two sons did because of offering incense incorrectly] (OR, [because of being in God’s presence]).
og han skal leggja røykjelsen på elden for Herrens åsyn, so røyken gøymer lovtavlekista med kerubarne; elles lyt han døy.
14 Then he must dip his finger into [the basin] and sprinkle some blood on the lid of the sacred chest, and also sprinkle some blood seven times against the front of the chest.
So skal han taka noko av ukseblodet og skvetta med fingeren fremst på kisteloket mot aust, og framanfor kista skal han skvetta med fingeren av blodet sju gonger.
15 [“Aaron must then go outside the Sacred Tent] and slaughter the goat to be an offering for the sins of the people. Then he must bring its blood into the Very Holy Place behind the curtain. There he must sprinkle [some of] that blood on the lid of the sacred chest and against the front of the chest, like he did with the bull’s blood.
So skal han slagta den bukken som er etla til syndoffer for folket, og bera blodet innanfor forhenget, og gjera med det som han gjorde med blodet av uksen: skvetta det på kisteloket og framanfor kista.
16 By doing that, he will purify the Very Holy Place. And he must sprinkle more of the blood on the Sacred Tent, because the tent is in the midst of the camp of the Israeli people who have become unacceptable to me [because of their sins].
Soleis skal han gjera soning for heilagdomen, og reinsa honom for dei broti som Israels-borni hev sulka honom med kvar gong dei hev synda, og det same skal han gjera med heile møtetjeldet, som er reist millom deim, midt i ureinskalpen deira.
17 When Aaron goes into the Very Holy Place [in the Sacred Tent] to purify it, no one else is permitted to enter [the other part of] the Sacred Tent. Only after Aaron has performed rituals to enable me to forgive him and his family, and all the Israeli people, is any priest permitted to enter the Sacred Tent.
Og det må ikkje finnast noko menneskje i møtetjeldet frå Aron gjeng inn og skal halda bøn i heilagdomen, og til han kjem ut att og hev gjort soning for seg og for huset sitt og for heile Israels-lyden.
18 “Then Aaron must go outside the tent to purify my altar. He must do this by smearing some of the blood from the bull and some of the blood from the goat on each of the projections at the corners of the altar.
So skal han ganga ut til altaret, som er reist for Herrens åsyn, og gjera soning for det: Han skal taka noko av ukseblodet og noko av bukkeblodet og strjuka rundt ikring på altarhorni,
19 Then Aaron must dip his finger into the [basin of] blood and sprinkle some of the blood over the altar seven times. By doing that, he will cleanse it from being unholy [because of the sins] of the Israeli people, and it will become holy again.
og skvetta med fingeren av blodet på altaret sju gonger, og reinsa det for den sauren som Israels-borni hev sulka det med, og helga det.
20 “When Aaron has finished purifying the Very Holy Place [inside the Sacred Tent] and all of the Sacred Tent and the altar, he must bring the goat that was chosen to be set free.
Når Aron hev fullført soningi for heilagdomen og møtetjeldet og altaret, so skal han leida fram den livande bukken,
21 He must put both of his hands on the head of the goat and confess all the sins [DOU] of the Israeli people. By doing that, he will put [the guilt of] their sins on the head of the goat. Then he must give the goat to a man who is chosen, and that man will send the goat out into the desert.
og leggja henderne på hovudet hans, og skrifta uppyver honom alle dei brot og misgjerningar Israels-folket hev gjort so ofte dei hev synda, og leggja deim på hovudet åt bukken, og so senda honom ut i øydemarki med ein mann som stend reidug.
22 [It is as though] the goat will carry away into the desert [the guilt for] the sins of all the people.
Og bukken skal bera alle broti deira med seg til eit land som ligg langt, langt av leid. Når Aron hev sendt bukken ut i øydemarki,
23 “When Aaron approaches the Sacred Tent, he must take off the linen clothes that he wore when he [previously] entered the Very Holy Place, and he must leave those clothes there.
skal han ganga inn i møtetjeldet, og taka av seg linklædi som han hadde på seg då han gjekk inn i heilagdomen, og gøyma deim der.
24 Then he must bathe in a sacred place, put on his regular/ordinary clothes, and sacrifice the animals that will be burned completely on the altar for his own sins and for the sins of the Israeli people. By doing that he will enable me to forgive him and them.
So skal han lauga likamen sin i vatn på ein heilag stad, og klæda seg i den vanlege bunaden sin, og so ganga ut att, og ofra brennofferet sitt og brennofferet for folket, og gjera soning for seg og for deim.
25 He must also burn on the altar all the fat of the bull and the goat that were sacrificed.
Og feittet av syndofferet skal han brenna på altaret, so røyken stig upp mot himmelen.
26 “The man who was chosen to send the other goat into the desert and free it there must afterwards wash his clothes and bathe. Then he may return to the camp.
Den som hev leidt bukken burt til Azazel, lyt två klædi sine og lauga likamen sin i vatn; då fyrst kann han få koma inn i lægret.
27 The carcasses of the bull and the goat that were slaughtered to be an offering/sacrifice for the people’s sins, whose blood was taken inside the Very Holy Place to enable Yahweh to forgive the Israeli people, must be carried outside the camp and burned. The hides/skins of the animals, the inner organs, and the dung must also be burned.
Uksen og bukken som vart slagta til syndoffer, og som dei tok blodet av og bar inn i heilagdomen til soning, skal dei føra ut or lægret, og brenna både skinni og kjøtet og møki.
28 The man who burns those things must then wash his clothes and bathe before he returns to the camp.
Den som brenner det, lyt två klædi sine og lauga likamen sin i vatn; sidan kann han koma inn i lægret.
29 “On (October/the month after the dry season ends), on the day that I have appointed, you all must (fast/abstain from eating food) and not do any work. This is a rule/law that will never end. It must be obeyed by you people who have been Israelis all your lives, and also by foreigners who are living among you.
Og dette skal vera ei æveleg lov hjå dykk: Den tiande dagen i den sjuande månaden skal de fasta og ikkje gjera noko slag arbeid, korkje den som er fødd og boren i landet, eller den framande som held til hjå dykk.
30 On that day, Aaron will perform rituals to enable me to forgive you all, and then I will cleanse/free you all from [the guilt of] all your sins and you will become acceptable to me.
For den dagen skal dei gjera soning for dykk, og reinsa dykk for alle synderne dykkar, so de vert reine for Herren.
31 That will be a day for you to rest and not do any work, like the Sabbath days, and you must (fast/abstain from eating food) all that day. That is a permanent command/law for you all to obey.
Ei høgtidshelg skal det vera for dykk, og då skal de fasta; det skal vera ei æveleg lov.
32 In future years, [after Aaron has died], this ritual/ceremony to enable me to forgive you all [DOU] will be performed by the Supreme Priest who is anointed [with olive oil] and appointed to serve instead of his ancestor Aaron. He must put on the sacred clothes made of linen
Den som skal standa for soningi, er presten, han som hev vorte salva og sett til å styra preste-embættet etter far sin. Han skal klæda seg i dei heilage linklædi,
33 and offer sacrifices to purify the Very Holy Place, all of the Sacred Tent, the altar, the priests, and all the Israel people [like Aaron did].
og gjera soning for det høgheilage romet og møtetjeldet og altaret; og prestarne og heila ålmugen skal han og gjera soning for.
34 This will be a permanent command/law for you to obey once every year, to enable me to forgive you Israeli people for the sins that you have committed.” Moses/I obeyed all those instructions/commands that Yahweh had given to him/me.
Det skal vera ei æveleg lov hjå dykk, at dei ein gong um året skal gjera soning for Israels-borni og reinsa deim for alle synderne deira.» Og Aron gjorde som Herren hadde sagt til Moses.
