3 Mosebok 10

1 Och Aarons söner, Nadab och Abihu, togo hvar sitt rökelsekar, och lade eld deruti, och lade rökverk deruppå, och båro främmande eld fram för Herran, det han dem icke budit hade.

[Two of] Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, took the pans in which they burned incense. They put some burning coals in them and put incense on top of the coals, but this fire was not acceptable [to Yahweh] because it was not the kind that he had commanded them to burn.

2 Då kom en eld ut ifrå Herranom, och förtärde dem, så att de blefvo döde för Herranom.

So suddenly a fire from Yahweh appeared and burned them up [DOU] in the presence of Yahweh.

3 Då sade Mose till Aaron: Detta är det Herren sagt hafver: Jag skall varda helgader på dem som nalkas mig, och för allo folke skall jag härlig hållen varda. Och Aaron tigde stilla.

Then Moses/I said to Aaron, “That is what Yahweh predicted. He said, ‘Those priests who come near to me, I will show them that they must (respect me/treat me as being holy); in the presence of all the people I am the one who must be honored.’” But Aaron said nothing.

4 Men Mose kallade till sig Misael och Elzaphan, Usiels söner, Aarons faderbroders, och sade till dem: Går fram, och bärer edra bröder härut af helgedomenom, ut för lägret.

Then Moses/I summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, who were the sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Take [the corpses of] your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the Sacred Tent.”

5 Och de gingo fram, och båro dem med deras linnekjortlar ut för lägret; såsom Mose sagt hade.

So they carried the corpses, which still had their special gowns on, outside the camp, [and buried them].

6 Då sade Mose till Aaron och hans söner, Eleazar och Ithamar: I skolen icke blotta edor hufvud, icke eller rifva edor kläder, att I icke dön, och vrede kommer öfver hela menighetena; låter edra bröder af hela Israels hus gråta öfver denna branden, som Herren gjort hafver.

Then Moses/I said to Aaron and his [other two] sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “[You are sad because Nadab and Abihu died, but you must act like you always do]. Do not allow the hair on your [heads] to remain uncombed, and do not tear your clothes. But your relatives and all your fellow Israelis are allowed to mourn for those whom Yahweh destroyed by fire.

7 Men I skolen intet gå ut igenom dörrena af vittnesbördsens tabernakel; annars kunden I dö; ty Herrans smörjoolja är på eder. Och de gjorde såsom Mose sade.

But you must not leave the entrance of the Sacred Tent [to join those who are mourning], because if you do that, you also will die, and Yahweh will punish [MTY] all the people of Israel. Do not forget that Yahweh has set you apart [MTY] to work for him here, [and he does not want you to become defiled by touching a corpse].” So they did what Moses/I told them to do.

8 Men Herren talade med Aaron, och sade:

Then Yahweh said to Aaron,

9 Du och dine söner med dig skolen icke dricka vin eller starka drycker, när I gån in uti vittnesbördsens tabernakel, att I icke skolen dö. Det vare en evig rätt allom edrom efterkommandom;

“You and your [two] sons [who are still alive] must not drink wine or other fermented drinks before you enter the Sacred Tent; if you do that, you will die. That is a command that you and your descendants must obey forever.

10 Att I mågen åtskilja hvad heligt och oheligt, hvad rent och orent är;

You must do that in order to learn what things are holy and what things are (not holy/common), and [from the things that are not holy] you must learn what things are acceptable to me and what things are not.

11 Och att I mågen lära Israels barn alla rätter, som Herren till eder genom Mose sagt hafver.

And you must teach to the Israeli people all the laws that I gave to the Israeli people by telling them to Moses.”

12 Och Mose talade med Aaron, och med hans återlefda söner, Eleazar och Ithamar: Tager det öfverblifvet är af spisoffret och af Herrans offer, och äter det osyradt vid altaret; ty det är det aldrahelgasta.

Moses/I said to Aaron and his two sons who were still alive, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the offering made from grain that is left after a portion of it has been offered to Yahweh to be burned, and eat it alongside the altar. [It should not be eaten elsewhere], because it is very holy.

13 Och I skolen ätat på ett heligt rum, ty det är din rätt, och dina söners rätt af Herrans offer; ty så är mig budet.

Eat it in a holy place; it is the share for you and your sons from the offerings that were burned; I have commanded that it be your share.

14 Veftebröstet och häfvebogen skall du och dine söner, och dina döttrar med dig, äta på rent rum; ty denne rätten är dig och dina söner gifven till Israels barnas tackoffer.

But you and your sons and daughters are permitted to eat the breast and the thigh that were lifted up in front of Yahweh. Eat them in any place that is (holy/acceptable to him). They have been given to you and your descendants as your share of the offerings to enable the Israelis to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh].

15 Ty häfvebogen och veftebröstet, med dess fetas offer, skola inbäras, att de skola varda veftad till veftoffer för Herranom. Derföre är det ditt och dina barnas till en evig rätt; såsom Herren budit hafver.

The thigh and the breast that were lifted up in front of Yahweh must be brought with the portions of fat to be burned, to be lifted up in his presence. They will be the regular share for you and your descendants, as Yahweh has commanded.”

16 Och Mose sökte efter syndoffrens bock; och fann honom vara uppbrändan. Och han vardt vred öfver Eleazar och Ithamar, Aarons söner, de ännu igenlefde voro; och sade:

When Moses/I inquired about the goat that had been sacrificed to enable the people to be forgiven by Yahweh for the sins they had committed, he/I found out that it had been completely burned. So he/I was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar and asked them,

17 Hvi hafven I icke ätit syndoffret på heligt rum, efter det är det aldrahelgasta, och han hafver gifvit eder det, på det I skolen bära menighetenes missgerningar, och försona dem för Herranom?

“Why did you not eat near the Sacred Tent the meat of the offering for sin? It was very holy, and it was given to you to enable the Israeli people to no longer be guilty for their sins and to be forgiven for their sins.

18 Si, hans blod är icke kommen in uti det helga; I skullen hafva ätit det in i det helga, såsom mig budet är.

Since its blood was not taken into the holy place inside the Sacred Tent, you should have eaten the [meat of] the goat near the Sacred Tent, as I commanded.”

19 Men Aaron sade till Mose: Si, i dag hafva de offrat deras syndoffer, och deras bränneoffer för Herranom, och mig är så gånget som du ser. Skulle jag i dag äta af syndoffer, och vara vid godt mod för Herranom?

Aaron replied to Moses/me, “Today the people brought to Yahweh their offering to be forgiven for the sins they had committed, and the offering to be completely burned, [and surely that pleased Yahweh], but [think about the terrible thing] that happened to my other two sons! Would [RHQ] Yahweh have been pleased if I had eaten some of the offering to cause the people to become acceptable to God?”

20 Då Mose det hörde, var han tillfrids.

When Moses/I heard that, he/I was satisfied.
