4 Mosebok 10
1 Og Herren tala atter til Moses, og sagde:
Yahweh also told Moses/me,
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.
“[Tell someone to] make two trumpets by hammering each one from [one lump of] silver. Blow the trumpets to summon the people to come together and also to signal that they must move their tents [to a new location].
3 Blæs de i båe, so skal heile lyden samla seg hjå deg framanfor møtetjelddøri;
If both trumpets are blown, it means that everyone must gather together at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
4 blæs de berre i ein, so skal styresmennerne, hovdingarne yver Israels-ætterne, samla seg hjå deg.
If only one trumpet is blown, it means that only the [twelve] leaders of the tribes must gather together.
5 Blæs de alarm, so skal dei flokkarne fara i veg som hev lægret sitt i aust;
If the trumpets are blown loudly, the tribes that are to the east [of the Sacred Tent] should start to travel.
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;
When the trumpets are blown loudly the second time, the tribes that are to the south should start to travel. The loud blasts on the trumpet will signal that they should start to travel.
7 men når du vil kalla folket i hop til ålmannamøte, skal de låta lint i lurarne, og ikkje blåsa alarm.
When you want only to gather the people together, blow the trumpets, but do not blow them as loudly.
8 Arons-sønerne, prestarne, er det som skal blåsa i deim. Dette skal vera ei æveleg lov hjå dykk, frå ætt til ætt.
“The priests who are descended from Aaron are the ones who should blow the trumpets. That is a regulation that will never be changed.
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.
When you fight against enemies who attack you in your own land, tell the priests to blow the trumpets loudly. I, Yahweh, your God, will hear that, and I will rescue you from 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.»
Also tell the priests to blow the trumpets when the people are happy, and at the festivals [each year], and at the times when they celebrate the new moon each month. Tell them to blow the trumpets when the people bring offerings that will be completely burned, and when they bring offerings to maintain fellowship with me. If they do that, it will help you to remember that I, Yahweh your God, [will help you].”
11 Tjugande dagen i andre månaden i det andre året lyfte skyi seg upp ifrå gudshuset,
On the twentieth day of May in the second year [after the/we Israelis left Egypt], the cloud rose up from above the Sacred Tent.
12 Då tok Israels-sønerne ut frå Sinaiheidi, flokk for flokk, etter som dei var fylkte; og skyi let seg ned att i Paranheidi.
So we/the Israelis traveled from the Sinai Desert, and we/they continued traveling [north] until the cloud stopped in the Paran Desert.

That was the order in which the groups of Israeli tribes traveled.
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.»
One day Moses/I said to his/my brother-in-law Hobab, the son of Reuel from the Midian people-group, “We are on the way to the place that Yahweh promised to give to us. Come with us, and we will take good care of you, because Yahweh has promised [to do] good things for us Israeli people.”
30 «Nei, » svara Hobab, «eg vil fara heim til mitt eige land og folk.»
But Hobab replied, “No, I will not go with you. I want to return to my own land and to my own family.”
31 «Kjære væne, gakk ikkje frå oss!» sagde Moses. «Du veit best kvar me kann setja læger i øydemarki; du lyt vera auga vårt!
But Moses/I said, “Please do not leave us. You know the places where we can set up our tents in this desert, and you can guide us.
32 Gjeng du med oss, so skal me gjeva deg mykje godt, når me fær alt det gode som Herren vil gjeva oss.»
Come with us. We will share with you all the good things that Yahweh gives to us.”
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.
[So Hobab agreed to go with them]. The Israelis left Sinai Mountain, [which they called] Yahweh’s Mountain, and they walked for three days. The [men carrying the] sacred chest went in front of the other people for those three days, and they kept looking for a place to set up their tents.
34 Herrens sky stod yver deim um dagen, når dei for ifrå lægret.
The cloud sent by Yahweh was over them every day.
35 Og kvar gong kista tok i veg, kvad Moses: «Reis deg, Herre, so fienden ryk og uvenern’ dine rømer for deg!»
Each morning when the men who were carrying the sacred chest started to walk, Moses/I said, “Yahweh, arise! Scatter your enemies! Cause those who hate you to run away from you!”
36 Og når ho let seg ned, kvad han: «Herre, kom atter til alle dei tusund Israels-ætter!»
And each time the men [stopped to] set down the sacred chest, Moses/I said, “Yahweh, stay close to the thousands of us Israelis!”
