Numbers 3
1 These are some of the things that happened to Aaron and Moses/me when Yahweh spoke to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain.
Følgende var Arons og Moses's Efterkommere, paa den Tid HERREN talede paa Sinaj Bjerg.
2 Aaron’s four sons were Nadab the oldest, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Navnene paa Arons Sønner var følgende: Nadab, den førstefødte, Abihu, Eleazar og Itamar;
3 They were appointed [MTY] (OR, Moses/I appointed them) to be priests.
det var Navnene paa Arons Sønner, de salvede Præster, som indsattes til Præstetjeneste.
4 But, while Yahweh was watching, Nadab and Abihu died in the Sinai Desert because they burned [incense] in a manner that was different from what Yahweh had commanded. They had no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar were the [only] sons of Aaron who [were left to be] priests, along with their father Aaron.
Men Nadab og Abihu døde for HERRENS Aasyn, da de frembar fremmed Ild for HERRENS Aasyn i Sinaj Ørken, og de havde ingen Sønner. Saaledes kom Eleazar og Itamar til at gøre Præstetjeneste for deres Fader Arons Aasyn.
5 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
6 “Bring [the men of] the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron, in order that they may assist him.
Lad Levis Stamme træde frem og stil dem frem for Præsten Aron, for at de kan gaa ham til Haande.
7 They will serve Aaron and all the other Israeli people, while they do their work inside the Sacred Tent and outside it.
De skal tage Vare paa, hvad han og hele Menigheden har at varetage foran Aabenbaringsteltet, og saaledes udføre Arbejdet ved Boligen,
8 They must serve all the Israeli people by taking care of all the things that are inside the Sacred Tent.
og de skal tage Vare paa alle Aabenbaringsteltets Redskaber og paa, hvad Israeliterne har at varetage, og saaledes udføre Arbejdet ved Boligen.
9 Appoint them to [help] Aaron and his two sons. I have chosen them from all the Israeli people to do that.
Altsaa skal du overgive Aron og hans Sønner Leviterne; de er ham overgivet som Gave fra Israeliterne.
10 Appoint Aaron and his two sons to do the work that priests do. But anyone else who comes close to the Sacred Tent [to do that work] must be executed.”
Men Aron og hans Sønner skal du sætte til at tage Vare paa deres Præstetjeneste; enhver Lægmand, som trænger sig ind deri, skal lide Døden.
11 Yahweh also told Moses/me,
HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
12 “Note that from all the Israelis, I have chosen the men of the tribe of Levi to take the places of all the firstborn sons of the Israeli people. The male descendants of Levi belong to me,
Se, jeg har selv udtaget Leviterne af Israeliternes Midte i Stedet for alt det førstefødte, der aabner Moders Liv hos Israeliterne, og Leviterne er blevet min Ejendom;
13 because truly all the firstborn [males] belong to me. That is because on the day that I killed all the firstborn [sons] of the people of Egypt, I [spared] all the firstborn [sons] of the Israelis and set them apart for myself. I also set apart the firstborn [males] of your domestic animals. They belong to me, Yahweh.”
thi mig tilhører alt det førstefødte. Dengang jeg dræbte alt det førstefødte i Ægypten, helligede jeg mig alt det førstefødte i Israel, baade af Mennesker og Dyr; mig HERREN skal de tilhøre.
14 Yahweh spoke to Moses/me again in the Sinai Desert. He said,
HERREN talede til Moses i Sinaj Ørken og sagde:
15 “Count the male members of the tribe of Levi. Write down their names and the names of their clans and family groups. Count all the males who are at least one month old.”
Du skal mønstre Levis Sønner efter deres Fædrenehuse, efter deres Slægter; alle af Mandkøn fra en Maaned og opefter skal du mønstre.
16 So Moses/I counted them, just as Yahweh commanded.
Da mønstrede Moses dem paa HERRENS Bud, som der var ham paalagt.
17 Levi had [three] sons, whose names were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Følgende var Levis Sønner efter deres Navne: Gerson, Kehat og Merari.
18 Gershon had [two] sons: Libni and Shimei. The clans that were descended from them had the same names as those [two] sons.
Følgende var Navnene paa Gersons Sønner efter deres Slægter: Libni og Sjim'i;
19 Kohath had [four] sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. The clans that were descended from them had the same names as those [four] sons.
Kehats Sønner efter deres Slægter var: Amram, Jizhar, Hebron og Uzziel;
20 Merari had [two] sons: Mahli and Mushi. The clans that were descended from them had the same names as those [two] sons. Those are the clans that were descended from Levi.
Meraris Sønner efter deres Slægter var: Mali og Musji. Det var Leviternes Slægter efter deres Fædrenehuse.
21 The two clans descended from Gershon are those that were descended from [his sons] Libni and Shimei.
Fra Gerson nedstammede Libniternes og Sjim'iternes Slægter; det var Gersoniternes Slægter.
22 In those two clans there were 7,500 males who were at least one month old.
De, som mønstredes af dem, da alle af Mandkøn fra en Maaned og opefter blev optalt, de, som mønstredes af dem, udgjorde 7500.
23 They were told to set up their tents on the west side of the Sacred Tent.
Gersoniternes Slægter havde deres Lejrplads bag ved Boligen mod Vest.
24 The leader of those two clans was Eliasaph, the son of Lael.
Øverste for Gersoniternes Fædrenehus var Eljasaf, Laels Søn.
25 Their work was to take care of the Sacred Tent, including the coverings of the tent, the curtain at the entrance of the tent,
Gersoniterne havde ved Aabenbaringsteltet at tage Vare paa selve Boligen og Teltdækket, dets Dække, Forhænget for Aabenbaringsteltets Indgang,
26 the (curtains/large pieces of cloth) that formed the walls around the courtyard that is around the tent and around the altar, the curtains that were at the entrance of the courtyard, and the ropes [for fastening the tent]. They also did all the work of taking care of the things outside the Sacred Tent.
Forgaardens Omhæng, Forhænget for Indgangen til Forgaarden, der omgav Boligen og Alteret, og dens Teltreb, alt Arbejdet dermed.
27 The clans that were descended from Kohath were those descended from his four sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
Fra Kehat nedstammede Amramiternes, Jizhariternes, Hebroniternes og Uzzieliternes Slægter; det var Kehatiternes Slægter.
28 In those four clans there were 8,600 males who were at least one month old. The work of the men of the clans was to take care of [the things that are inside] the Sacred Tent.
De, der mønstredes af dem, da alle af Mandkøn fra en Maaned og opefter blev optalt, udgjorde 8600, som tog Vare paa, hvad der var at varetage ved Helligdommen.
29 They set up their tents on the south side of the Sacred Tent.
Kehatiternes Slægter havde deres Lejrplads ved Boligens Sydside.
30 The leader of those four clans was Elizaphan, the son of Uzziel.
Øverste for Kehatiternes Slægters Fædrenehus var Elizafan, Uzziels Søn.
31 The work of the men of those clans was to take care of the sacred chest, the table [on which the priest put the sacred bread], the lampstand, the altars, all the items that the priest used in the Sacred Tent, and the curtain that is inside the tent. Their work was also to take care of the things inside the tent.
De havde at tage Vare paa Arken, Bordet, Lysestagen, Altrene, Helligdommens Redskaber, som brugtes ved Tjenesten, og Forhænget med dertil hørende Arbejde.
32 Aaron’s son Eleazar was the leader of all the male descendants of Levi. He supervised all the work that was done at the Sacred Tent.
Øverste over Leviternes Øverster var Eleazar, Præsten Arons Søn, som havde Tilsyn med dem, der tog Vare paa, hvad der var at varetage ved Helligdommen.
33 The clans that were descended from Merari were those descended from [his sons] Mahli and Mushi.
Fra Merari nedstammede Maliternes og Musjiternes Slægter; det var Meraris Slægter.
34 In those two clans there were 6,200 males who were at least one month old.
De, som mønstredes af dem, da alle af Mandkøn fra en Maaned og opefter blev optalt, udgjorde 6200.
35 They were told to set up their tents on the north side of the Sacred Tent. The leader of those two clans was Zuriel, the son of Abihail.
Øverste for Meraris Slægters Fædrenehus var Zuriel, Abihajils Søn. De havde deres Lejrplads ved Boligens Nordside.
36 The work of the men of those two clans was to take care of the frames that held up the tent, the crossbars, the pillars, and the bases. They also did all the work that was connected with those items.
Merariterne var sat til at tage Vare paa Boligens Brædder, Tværstænger, Piller og Fodstykker, alle dens Redskaber og alt det dertil hørende Arbejde,
37 Their work was also to take care of the posts [that held up the curtains that formed the walls of] the courtyard, and all the bases, tent pegs, and ropes [that fastened those curtains].
Pillerne til Forgaarden, som var rundt om den, med Fodstykker, Pæle og Reb.
38 Aaron and Moses/I and Aaron’s sons were told to set up their/our tents in the area in front of the Sacred Tent, on the east side. Their/Our work was to supervise the work that would be done in and around the Sacred Tent, for the benefit of the Israeli people. Only the priests were permitted to do that. [Yahweh declared that] we should execute anyone else who went near the tent [to do the work that the priests do].
Foran Boligen, paa Aabenbaringsteltets Forside mod Øst, havde Moses, Aron og hans Sønner deres Lejrpladser, og de tog Vare paa alt det, Israeliterne havde at varetage ved Boligen. Enhver Lægmand, der trængte sig ind i det, maatte lide Døden.
39 When Aaron and Moses/I counted all the males who were at least one month old, who belonged to the clans descended from Levi, the total was 22,000.
De mønstrede af Leviterne, de, som Moses og Aron mønstrede paa HERRENS Bud efter deres Slægter, alle af Mandkøn fra en Maaned og opefter, udgjorde i alt 22 000.
40 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Now count all the [other] firstborn males in Israel who are at least one month old, and write down their names.
HERREN sagde til Moses: Du skal mønstre alle førstefødte af Mandkøn blandt Israeliterne fra en Maaned og opefter og optage Tallet paa deres Navne.
41 Also, set apart for me the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for the firstborn males of the other Israelis. And set apart for me the livestock of the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for the firstborn livestock of the other Israeli people.”
Saa skal du udtage Leviterne til mig HERREN i Stedet for alle Israeliternes førstefødte og ligeledes Leviternes Kvæg i Stedet for alt det førstefødte af Israeliternes Kvæg.
42 So Moses/I did that. He/I counted the firstborn males of all the Israeli people, as Yahweh had commanded.
Og Moses mønstrede, som HERREN havde paalagt ham, alle Israeliternes førstefødte;
43 The total of those who were at least one month old was 22,273.
og da Navnene paa dem fra en Maaned og opefter optaltes, udgjorde de førstefødte af Mandkøn, alle de, som mønstredes i alt 22 273.
44 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Derpaa talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
45 “Set apart the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for [the firstborn males of] the other Israeli people. The descendants of Levi belong to me, Yahweh.
Tag Leviterne i Stedet for alle Israeliternes førstefødte og ligeledes Leviternes Kvæg i Stedet for deres Kvæg, saa at Leviterne kommer til at tilhøre mig HERREN.
46 There are 273 more firstborn males of the other Israeli people than of the descendants of Levi.
Men til Udløsning af de 273, hvormed Antallet af Israeliternes førstefødte overstiger Leviternes Antal,
47 To pay for these 273 males, collect five pieces of silver for each of them. Each of those pieces of silver must weigh the same as each of the silver coins that are stored in the Sacred Tent. Give this silver to Aaron and his sons.”
skal du tage fem Sekel for hvert Hoved, efter hellig Vægt skal du tage dem, tyve Gera paa en Sekel;
og Pengene skal du give Aron og hans Sønner som Udløsning for de overskydende.
49 So Moses/I did that. He/I collected the silver from those 273 males.
Da tog Moses Løsepengene af de overskydende, dem, der ikke var udløst ved Leviterne;
50 The total was 1,365 pieces of silver. Each silver coin weighed the same as each of the silver coins stored in the Sacred Tent.
af Israeliternes førstefødte tog han Pengene, 1365 Sekel efter hellig Vægt.
51 Moses/I gave these silver coins to Aaron and his sons, as Yahweh had commanded.
Og Moses gav Aron og hans Sønner Løsepengene efter HERRENS Bud, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses.
