4 Mosebok 10
1 Og Herren tala atter til Moses, og sagde:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 «Gjer deg tvo lurar av drive sylv! Deim skal du hava til å kalla lyden i hop med, og til å varsla folket når lægret skal flytjast.
“Make for yourself two trumpets of ductile silver, with which you may be able to call together the multitude when the camp is to be moved.
3 Blæs de i båe, so skal heile lyden samla seg hjå deg framanfor møtetjelddøri;
And when you sound the trumpets, all the multitude shall gather to you at the door of the tabernacle of the covenant.
4 blæs de berre i ein, so skal styresmennerne, hovdingarne yver Israels-ætterne, samla seg hjå deg.
If you sound it only once, the leaders and the heads of the multitude of Israel shall come to you.
5 Blæs de alarm, so skal dei flokkarne fara i veg som hev lægret sitt i aust;
But if the sound of the trumpets is prolonged, but with interruptions, those who are toward the east side shall move the camp first.
6 blæs de alarm andre venda, so skal dei som ligg i sud taka ut. Alarm skal de blåsa kvar gong de bryt upp frå lægret;
Then, at the second sounding of the trumpet with the same cadence, those who live toward the south shall take up their tents. And the remainder shall act in like manner, when the trumpets shall reverberate for a departure.
7 men når du vil kalla folket i hop til ålmannamøte, skal de låta lint i lurarne, og ikkje blåsa alarm.
But when the people are to be gathered together, the sound of the trumpets shall be simple, and the sounds shall not be separated.
8 Arons-sønerne, prestarne, er det som skal blåsa i deim. Dette skal vera ei æveleg lov hjå dykk, frå ætt til ætt.
Now it is the sons of Aaron the priest who shall sound the trumpets. And this shall be an everlasting ordinance, in your generations.
9 Og når de fær ufred i landet, og fienden bryt på dykk, so skal de blåsa sterkt i lurarne; då skal Herren, dykkar Gud, koma dykk i hug, so de vert berga for uvenerne.
If you go forth to war from your land, against the enemies who set out against you, you shall sound the trumpets repeatedly, and there shall be a remembrance of you before the Lord your God, so that you may be rescued from the hands of your enemies.
10 Og på glededagarne dykkar og høgtiderne og nymånedagarne skal de låta i lurarne til brennofferi og takkofferi dykkar, so det kann minna dykkar Gud um dykk. Eg, Herren, er dykkar Gud.»
If at any time you will have a banquet, and on feast days, and on the first days of the months, you shall sound the trumpets over the holocausts and the peace-offering victims, so that they may be for you as a remembrance by your God. I am the Lord your God.”
11 Tjugande dagen i andre månaden i det andre året lyfte skyi seg upp ifrå gudshuset,

29 sagde Moses til Hobab, son åt Re’uel frå Midjan, verfar hans Moses: «No tek me på vegen til det landet som Herren hev sagt han vil gjeva oss. Kom og ver med oss, so skal me gjera vel mot deg; for Herren hev lova Israel mykje godt.»
And Moses said to Hobab the son of Raguel the Midianite, his kinsman: “We are setting out to the place which the Lord will give to us. Come with us, so that we may do good to you. For the Lord has promised good things to Israel.”
30 «Nei, » svara Hobab, «eg vil fara heim til mitt eige land og folk.»
And he answered him, “I will not go with you, but I will return to my own land, in which I was born.”
31 «Kjære væne, gakk ikkje frå oss!» sagde Moses. «Du veit best kvar me kann setja læger i øydemarki; du lyt vera auga vårt!
And he said: “Do not choose to leave us. For you know in which places in the desert we ought to make camp, and so you shall be our guide.
32 Gjeng du med oss, so skal me gjeva deg mykje godt, når me fær alt det gode som Herren vil gjeva oss.»
And if you come with us, whatever will be best among the riches which the Lord will deliver to us, we will give to you.”
33 So for dei då frå Gudsfjellet tri dagsleider fram, og Herrens sambandskista for fyre deim alle tri dagarne, og leita etter ein kvilestad for deim.
Therefore, they set out from the Mountain of the Lord on a journey of three days. And the ark of the covenant of the Lord preceded them, for three days, in order to provide a place for the camp.
34 Herrens sky stod yver deim um dagen, når dei for ifrå lægret.
Likewise, the cloud of the Lord was over them, throughout the day, while they proceeded.
35 Og kvar gong kista tok i veg, kvad Moses: «Reis deg, Herre, so fienden ryk og uvenern’ dine rømer for deg!»
And when the ark was lifted up, Moses said, “Rise up, O Lord, and let your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate you flee from your face.”
36 Og når ho let seg ned, kvad han: «Herre, kom atter til alle dei tusund Israels-ætter!»
