Leviticus 22
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
2 “Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am the LORD.
Sig til Aron og hans Sønner, at de skal behandle Israeliternes Helliggaver, som de helliger mig, med Erefrygt, for at de ikke skal vanhellige mit hellige Navn. Jeg er HERREN!
3 “Tell them, ‘If anyone of all your offspring throughout your generations approaches the holy things which the children of Israel make holy to the LORD, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am the LORD.
Sig til dem: Enhver af alle eders Efterkommere, som i de kommende Slægter i uren Tilstand kommer de Helliggaver nær, Israeliterne helliger HERREN, det Menneske skal udryddes fra mit Åsyn. Jeg er HERREN!
4 “‘Whoever of the offspring of Aaron is a leper or has a discharge shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man who has a seminal emission,
Ingen af Arons Efterkommere, der er spedalsk eller lider af Flåd, må spise noget af Helliggaverne, før han bliver ren; den, der rører ved en, som er uren ved Lig, eller den, fra hvem der går Sæd,
5 or whoever touches any creeping thing by which he may be made unclean, or a man from whom he may become unclean, whatever uncleanness he has—
eller den, der rører ved noget Slags Kryb, ved hvilket man bliver uren, eller ved et Menneske, ved hvem man bliver uren, af hvad Art hans Urenhed være kan,
6 the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things unless he bathes his body in water.
enhver, der rører ved noget sådant, skal være uren til Aften og må ikke spise af Helliggaverne, før han har badet sit Legeme i Vand.
7 When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
Når Solen går ned, er han ren, og derefter må han spise af Helliggaverne, thi de er hans Mad.
8 He shall not eat that which dies of itself or is torn by animals, defiling himself by it. I am the LORD.
Selvdøde og sønderrevne Dyr må han ikke spise for ikke at gøre sig uren derved. Jeg er HERREN!
9 “‘They shall therefore follow my commandment, lest they bear sin for it and die in it, if they profane it. I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
De skal overholde mine Forskrifter, at de ikke skal pådrage sig Synd og dø derfor, fordi de vanhelliger det. Jeg er HERREN, som helliger dem.
10 “‘No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner living with the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
Ingen Lægmand må spise af det hellige; hverken den indvandrede hos Præsten eller hans Daglejer må spise af det hellige.
11 But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and those who are born in his house shall eat of his bread.
Men når en Præst for sine Penge køber sig en Træl, da må denne spise deraf, og ligeledes må hans hjemmefødte Trælle spise af hans Mad.
12 If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.
Når en Præstedatter ægter en Lægmand, må hun ikke spise af de ydede Helliggaver;
13 But if a priest’s daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread; but no stranger shall eat any of it.
men når en Præstedatter bliver Enke eller forstødes uden at have Børn og vender tilbage til sin Faders Hus og er der som i sine unge År, da må hun spise af sin Faders Mad. Men ingen Lægmand må spise deraf.
14 “‘If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.
Når nogen af Vanvare kommer til at spise af det hellige, skal han erstatte Præsten det hellige med Tillæg af en Femtedel.
15 The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the LORD,
Præsterne må ikke vanhellige de Helliggaver, Israeliterne yder HERREN,
16 and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat their holy things; for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”
og således bringe Brøde og Skyld over dem, når de spiser deres Helliggaver; thi jeg er HERREN, som helliger dem.
17 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
18 “Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows or any of their free will offerings, which they offer to the LORD for a burnt offering:
Tal til Aron og hans Sønner og alle Israeliterne og sig til dem: Om nogen af Israels Hus eller af de fremmede i Israel bringer sin Offergave, hvad enten det er deres Løfteoffer eller Frivilligoffer, de bringer HERREN som Brændoffer,
19 that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.
så skal I bringe dem således, at I kan vinde Guds Velbehag, et lydefrit Handyr af Hornkvæget, Fårene eller Gederne;
20 But you shall not offer whatever has a defect, for it shall not be acceptable for you.
I må ikke ofre noget Dyr, der har en Legemsfejl, thi derved vinder I ikke eders Guds Velbehag.
21 Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD to accomplish a vow, or for a free will offering of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted. It shall have no defect.
Når nogen bringer HERREN et Takoffer af Hornkvæget eller Småkvæget enten for at indfri et Løfte eller som Frivilligoffer, da skal det være et lydefrit Dyr, for at det kan vinde Guds Velbehag; det må ingen som helst Legemsfejl have;
22 You shall not offer what is blind, is injured, is maimed, has a wart, is festering, or has a running sore to the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to the LORD.
et blindt Dyr eller et Dyr med Brud på Lemmerne eller et såret Dyr eller et Dyr, der lider af Bylder, Skab eller Ringorm, sådanne Dyr må I ikke bringe HERREN, og I må ikke lægge noget Ildoffer af den Slags på Alteret for HERREN.
23 Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a free will offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
Et Stykke Hornkvæg eller Småkvæg med en for lang eller forkrøblet Legemsdel kan du bruge som Frivillig offer, men som Løfteoffer vinder det ikke Guds Velbehag.
24 You must not offer to the LORD that which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut. You must not do this in your land.
Dyr med udklemte, knuste, afrevne eller bortskårne Testikler må I ikke bringe HERREN; således må I ikke bære eder ad i eders Land.
25 You must not offer any of these as the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner, because their corruption is in them. There is a defect in them. They shall not be accepted for you.’”
Heller ikke må I af en Udlænding købe den Slags Dyr og ofre dem som eders Guds Spise, thi de har en Lyde, de har en Legemsfejl; ved dem vinder I ikke Guds Velbehag.
26 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
27 “When a bull, a sheep, or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother. From the eighth day on it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to the LORD.
Når der fødes et Stykke Hornkvæg, et Får eller en Ged, skal de blive syv Dage hos Moderen; men fra den ottende Dag er de skikkede til at vinde HERRENs Velbehag som Ildoffergave til HERREN.
28 Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
I må ikke slagte et Stykke Hornkvæg eller Småkvæg samme Dag som dets Afkom.
29 “When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.
Når I ofrer et Lovprisningsoffer til HERREN, skal I ofre det således, at det kan vinde eder Guds Velbehag.
30 It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am the LORD.
Det skal spises samme Dag, I må intet levne deraf til næste Morgen. Jeg er HERREN!
31 “Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am the LORD.
I skal holde mine Bud og handle efter dem. Jeg er HERREN!
32 You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of Israel. I am the LORD who makes you holy,
I må ikke vanhellige mit hellige Navn, for at jeg må blive helliget blandt Israeliterne. Jeg er HERREN, som helliger eder,
33 who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am the LORD.”
som førte eder ud af Ægypten for at være eders Gud. Jeg er HERREN!
