Ezekiel 44
1 And he causeth me to turn back the way of the gate of the outer sanctuary that is looking eastward, and it is shut.
Derpaa førte han mig tilbage ad Helligdommens ydre Østport til, og den var lukket.
2 And Jehovah saith unto me, 'This gate is shut, it is not opened, and none doth go in by it, for Jehovah, God of Israel, hath come in by it, and it hath been shut.
Og HERREN sagde til mig: Denne Port skal være lukket og maa ikke aabnes! Ingen maa gaa ind derigennem, thi igennem den drog HERREN, Israels Gud, ind; derfor skal den være lukket.
3 The prince, who [is] prince, he sitteth by it to eat bread before Jehovah, by the way of the porch of the gate he cometh in, and by its way he goeth out.'
Kun Fyrsten maa sidde i den og holde Maaltid for HERRENS Aasyn; men han skal gaa ind igennem Portforhallens Dør og samme Vej ud.
4 And he bringeth me in the way of the north gate unto the front of the house, and I look, and lo, filled hath the honour of Jehovah the house of Jehovah, and I fall on my face.
Derpaa førte han mig i Retning af Nordporten til Pladsen foran Templet, og jeg skuede, og se, HERRENS Herlighed fyldte HERRENS Hus, og jeg faldt paa mit Ansigt.
5 And Jehovah saith unto me, 'Son of man, set thy heart, and see with thine eyes, and with thine ears hear, all that I am speaking with thee, of all the statutes of the house of Jehovah, and of all its laws; and thou hast set thy heart to the entrance of the house, with all the outlets of the sanctuary,
Da sagde HERREN til mig: Menneskesøn, mærk dig og se med dine Øjne og hør med dine Ører alt, hvad jeg taler til dig med Hensyn til alle Vedtægter og Love om HERRENS Hus, og læg vel Mærke til, hvad der gælder om Adgang til Templet gennem en hvilken som helst af Helligdommens Udgange.
6 and hast said unto the rebellious, unto the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Enough to you — of all your abominations, O house of Israel.
Og sig til Israels Hus, den genstridige Slægt: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Lad det nu være nok med alle eders Vederstyggeligheder, Israels Hus,
7 In your bringing in sons of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, to be in My sanctuary, to pollute it, even My house, in your bringing near My bread, fat, and blood, and they break My covenant by all your abominations,
at I lod fremmede med uomskaarne Hjerter og uomskaaret Kød komme ind i min Helligdom, for at de skulde være der og vanhellige mit Hus, naar I frembar min Mad, Fedt og Blod og saaledes brød min Pagt ved alle eders Vederstyggeligheder.
8 and ye have not kept the charge of My holy things, and ye set [them] for keepers of My charge in My sanctuary for you.
I tog ikke Vare paa, hvad der var at varetage ved mine hellige Ting, men overlod de fremmede at tage Vare paa, hvad der var at varetage i min Helligdom.
9 'Thus said the Lord Jehovah: No son of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, cometh in unto My sanctuary, even any son of a stranger, who [is] in the midst of the sons of Israel,
Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ingen fremmed med uomskaaret Hjerte og uomskaaret Kød maa komme i min Helligdom, ikke een af de fremmede, som lever blandt Israels Børn.
10 but — the Levites who have gone far off from me, in the wandering of Israel when they went astray from Me after their idols, and they have borne their iniquity.
Men de Leviter, som fjernede sig fra mig, da Israel for vild, idet de for vild fra mig og holdt sig til deres Afgudsbilleder, de skal bære deres Misgerning.
11 And they have been in My sanctuary ministrants, overseers at the gates of the house, and ministrants at the house; they slay the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they stand before them to serve them.
De skal i min Helligdom gøre Vagttjeneste ved Tempelportene og udføre Arbejdet i Templet, idet de skal slagte Brændofrene og Slagtofrene for Folket og staa dem til Tjeneste og gaa dem til Haande.
12 Because that they serve them before their idols, and have been to the house of Israel for a stumbling-block of iniquity, therefore I have lifted up my hand against them — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah — and they have borne their iniquity.
Fordi de gik dem til Haande over for deres Afgudsbilleder og saaledes blev Aarsag til Skyld for Israels Hus, derfor løfter jeg min Haand imod dem, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, paa at de skal bære deres Misgerning.
13 And they draw not nigh unto Me to act as My priest, and to draw nigh unto any of My holy things, unto the holy of holies, and they have borne their shame and their abominations that they have done,
De maa ikke nærme sig mig for at gøre Præstetjeneste for mig, ej heller maa de nærme sig nogen af mine hellige Ting, det højhellige, men de skal bære deres Skændsel og de Vederstyggeligheder, de øvede.
14 and I made them keepers of the charge of the house, for all its service and for all that is done in it.
Jeg sætter dem til at tage Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage i Templet ved alt Arbejde der, ved alt, hvad der er at gøre derinde.
15 'And the priests, the Levites, sons of Zadok, who have kept the charge of My sanctuary in the wandering of the sons of Israel from off Me, they draw near unto Me to serve Me, and have stood before Me, to bring near to Me fat and blood — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah:
Men Levitpræsterne, Zadoks Efterkommere, som tog Vare paa, hvad der var at varetage i min Helligdom, dengang Israeliterne for vild fra mig, skal nærme sig mig for at gaa mig til Haande og være mig til Tjeneste og ofre mig Fedt og Blod, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
16 they come in unto My sanctuary, and they draw near unto My table to serve Me, and they have kept My charge.
De skal gaa ind i min Helligdom og nærme sig mit Bord for at gaa mig til Haande og tage Vare paa, hvad jeg vil have varetaget.
17 And it hath come to pass, in their going in unto the gates of the inner court, linen garments they put on; and no wool cometh up on them in their ministering in the gates of the inner court and within.
Og naar de gaar ind ad den indre Forgaards Port, skal de være iført Linnedklæder; de maa ikke have Uld paa Kroppen, naar de gør Tjeneste i den indre Forgaards Porte eller længere inde.
18 Linen bonnets are on their head, and linen trousers are on their loins, they are not restrained with sweat.
De skal bære Linnedhuer paa Hovedet og Linnedbenklæder om Lænderne; de maa ikke omgjorde sig med noget, som fremkalder Sved.
19 And in their going forth unto the outer court — unto the outer court unto the people — they strip off their garments, in which they are ministering, and have placed them in the holy chambers, and have put on other garments; and they do not sanctify the people in their own garments.
Og naar de gaar ud i den ydre Forgaard til Folket, skal de afføre sig de Klæder, i hvilke de gør Tjeneste, gemme dem i Helligdommens Kamre og iføre sig andre Klæder, at de ikke skal gøre Folket helligt med deres Klæder.
20 And their head they do not shave, and the lock they do not send forth; they certainly poll their heads.
Hovedet maa de ikke rage, dog heller ikke lade Haaret vokse frit, men de skal klippe deres Haar.
21 And no priest doth drink wine in their coming in unto the inner court.
Vin maa ingen Præst drikke, naar han gaar ind i den indre Forgaard.
22 And a widow and divorced woman they do not take to them for wives: but — virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, and the widow who is widow of a priest, do they take.
Enke eller fraskilt maa de ikke tage til Ægte, men kun Jomfruer af Israels Hus; dog maa de ægte Enken efter en Præst.
23 'And My people they direct between holy and common, and between unclean and clean they cause them to discern.
De skal lære mit Folk at skelne mellem det, som er helligt, og det, som ikke er helligt, og undervise dem i Forskellen mellem rent og urent.
24 And concerning controversy, they stand up for judgment; with My judgments they judge it; and My law and My statutes in all My appointed places they keep; and My sabbaths they sanctify.
Ved Retstrætter skal de optræde som Dommere; efter mine Lovbud skal de dømme. De skal overholde mine Love og Vedtægter paa alle mine Højtidsdage og helligholde mine Sabbater.
25 And unto any dead man they come not for uncleanness, but for father, and for mother, and for son, and for daughter, for brother, for sister who hath not been to a man, they defile themselves.
Et Lig maa de ikke komme nær, at de ikke skal blive urene derved; kun ved Fader, Moder, Søn, Datter, Broder eller ugift Søster maa de gøre sig urene;
26 'And after his cleansing, seven days they number to him.
og efter at være blevet uren skal han tælle syv Dage frem, saa er han atter ren;
27 And in the day of his coming in unto the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he bringeth near his sin-offering — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
den Dag han atter gaar ind i Helligdommen, i den indre Forgaard, for at gøre Tjeneste i Helligdommen, skal han frembære et Syndoffer, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
28 And it hath been to them for an inheritance; I [am] their inheritance: and a possession ye do not give to them in Israel; I [am] their possession.
De skal ingen Arvelod have; jeg er deres Arvelod. Og Ejendom i Israel maa I ikke give dem; jeg er deres Ejendom.
29 The present, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering, they do eat, and every devoted thing in Israel is theirs.
Afgrødeofferet, Syndofferet og Skyldofferet skal de spise, og alt, hvad der er lagt Band paa i Israel, skal tilfalde dem.
30 And the first of all the first-fruits of all, and every heave-offering of all, of all your heave-offerings, are the priests': and the first of your dough ye give to the priest, to cause a blessing to rest on thy house.
Det bedste af al Førstegrøde af enhver Art, alle Offerydelser af enhver Art, alt, hvad I maatte yde, skal tilfalde Præsterne, og Førstegrøden af eders Grovmel skal I give Præsten for at nedkalde Velsignelse over eders Huse.
31 Any carcase and torn thing, of the fowl, and of the beasts, the priests do not eat.
Intet Aadsel og intet, som er sønderrevet, være sig Fugl eller firføddet Dyr, maa Præsterne spise.
