Numbers 9

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they came out from the land of Egypt. He said,

HERREN talede således til Moses i Sinaj Ørken i den første Måned af det andet År efter deres Udvandring fra Ægypten:

2 “Let the people of Israel keep the Passover at its fixed time of year.

Israeliterne skal fejre Påsken til den fastsatte Tid,

3 On the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you must keep the Passover at its fixed time of year. You must keep it, follow all the regulations, and obey all the decrees that are related to it.”

på den fjortende Dag i denne Måned ved Aftenstid skal I fejre den til den fastsatte Tid; overensstemmende med alle Anordningerne og Lovbudene om den skal I fejre den!

4 So, Moses told the people of Israel that they should keep the Festival of the Passover.

Da sagde Moses til Israeliterne, at de skulde fejre Påsken;

5 So they kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. The people of Israel obeyed everything that Yahweh commanded Moses to do.

og de fejrede Påsken i Sinaj Ørken den fjortende Dag i den første Måned ved Aftenstid; nøjagtigt som HERREN havde pålagt Moses, således gjorde Israeliterne.

6 There were certain men who became unclean by the body of a dead man. They could not keep the Passover on that day. They went before Moses and Aaron on that same day.

Men der var nogle Mænd, som var blevet urene ved et Lig og derfor ikke kunde fejre Påske den Dag. Disse Mænd trådte nu den Dag frem for Moses og Aron

7 Those men said to Moses, “We are unclean because of the dead body of a man. Why do you keep us from offering the sacrifice to Yahweh at the fixed time of year among the people of Israel?”

og sagde til ham: "Vi er blevet urene ved et Lig; hvorfor skal det da være os forment at frembære HERRENs Offergave til den fastsatte Tid sammen med de andre Israelitter?"

8 Moses said to them, “Wait for me to hear what Yahweh will instruct about you.”

Moses svarede dem: "Vent, til jeg får at høre, hvad HERREN påbyder angående eder!"

9 Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,

Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:

10 “Speak to the people of Israel. Say, 'If any of you or your descendants are unclean because of a dead body, or are on a long journey, he may still keep the Passover to Yahweh.'

Tal til Israeliterne og sig: Når nogen af eder eller eders Efterkommere er blevet uren ved et Lig eller er ude på en lang Rejse, skal han alligevel holde Påske for HERREN;

11 In the second month on the fourteenth day at evening, they will eat the Passover meal. They must eat the Passover lamb with bread that is made without yeast and with bitter herbs.

den fjortende Dag i den anden Måned ved Aftenstid skal de holde den; med usyret Brød og bitre Urter skal de spise Påskelammet.

12 They must not leave any of it until the morning, or break any of its bones. They must follow all the regulations for the Passover.

De må intet levne deraf til næste Morgen, og de må ikke sønderbryde noget af dets Ben. De skal fejre Påsken i Overensstemmelse med alle de Anordninger, som gælder for den.

13 But any person who is clean and is not on a journey, but who fails to keep the Passover, that person must be cut off from his people because he did not offer the sacrifice that Yahweh requires at the fixed time of year. That man must carry his sin.

Men den, som undlader at fejre Påsken, skønt han er ren og ikke på Rejse, det Menneske skal udryddes af sin Slægt, fordi han ikke har frembåret HERRENs Offergave til den fastsatte Tid. Den Mand skal undgælde for sin Synd.

14 If a stranger lives among you and keeps the Passover in Yahweh's honor, he must keep it and do all he commands, keeping the rules of the Passover, and obeying the laws for it. You must have the same law for the foreigner and for all who have been born in the land.”

Og når en fremmed, der bor hos eder, vil bolde Påske for HERREN, skal han holde den efter de Anordninger og Lovbud, som gælder for Påsken. En og samme Lov skal gælde for eder, for den fremmede og for den indfødte.

15 On the day that the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, the tent of the covenant decrees. At evening the cloud was over the tabernacle. It appeared like fire until morning.

Den Dag Boligen blev rejst, dækkede Skyen Boligen, Vidnesbyrdets Telt; men om Aftenen var der som et Ildskær over Boligen, og det holdt sig til om Morgenen.

16 It continued that way. The cloud covered the tabernacle and appeared like fire at night.

Således var det til Stadighed: Om dagen dækkede Skyen den, om Natten Ildskæret.

17 Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tent, the people of Israel would set out on their journey. Wherever the cloud stopped, the people would camp.

Hver Gang Skyen løftede sig fra Teltet, brød Israeliterne op, og der, hvor Skyen stod stille, slog Israeliterne Lejr.

18 At Yahweh's command, the people of Israel would travel, and at his command, they would camp. While the cloud stopped over the tabernacle, they would stay in their camp.

På HERRENs Bud brød Israeliterne op, og på HERRENs Bud gik de i Lejr, og så længe Skyen hvilede over Boligen, blev de liggende i Lejr;

19 When the cloud remained on the tabernacle for many days, then the people of Israel would obey Yahweh's instructions and not travel.

når Skyen blev over Boligen i længere Tid, rettede Israeliterne sig efter, hvad HERREN havde foreskrevet dem, og brød ikke op.

20 Sometimes the cloud remained a few days on the tabernacle. In that case, they would obey Yahweh's command—they would make camp and then travel on again at his command.

Det hændte, at Skyen kun blev nogle få Dage over Boligen; da gik de i Lejr på HERRENs Bud og brød op på HERRENs Bud.

21 Sometimes the cloud was present in camp from evening until morning. When the cloud lifted in the morning, they journeyed. If it continued for a day and for a night, only when the cloud lifted would they journey on.

Og det hændte, at Skyen kun blev der fra Aften til Morgen; når Skyen da løftede sig om Morgenen, brød de op. Eller den blev der en Dag og en Nat; når Skyen da løftede sig, brød de op.

22 Whether the cloud stayed on the tabernacle for two days, a month, or a year, for as long as it stayed there, the people of Israel would stay in their camp and not travel. But whenever the cloud was taken up, they would set out on their journey.

Eller den blev der et Par Dage eller en Måned eller længere endnu, idet Skyen i længere Tid hvilede over Boligen; så blev Israeliterne liggende i Lejr og brød ikke op, men når den løftede sig, brød de op.

23 They would camp at Yahweh's command, and they would travel at his command. They obeyed Yahweh's command given through Moses.

På HERRENs Bud gik de i Lejr, og på HERRENs Bud brød de op; de rettede sig efter, hvad HERREN havde foreskrevet dem, efter HERRENs Bud ved Moses.
