3 Mosebok 23
1 Och Herren talade med Mose, och sade:
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 Tala till Israels barn, och säg till dem: Desse äro Herrans högtider, som I skolen kalla heliga och mina högtider, då I sammankommen.
“Tell the Israeli people about the festivals that I have chosen, the days when you all must gather together [to worship me].”
3 Sex dagar skall du göra ditt arbete; men den sjunde dagen är den store helge Sabbathen, då I tillhopakommen. Intet arbete skolen I göra på honom; förty det är Herrans Sabbath, ehvar I bon.
“You may work for six days [each week], but on the seventh day you must not do any work. You must rest. It is a sacred/holy day when you must gather together [to worship me]. Wherever you live, you must rest on that day.”
4 Desse äro de Herrans högtider, dem I skolen kalla helga högtider, då I sammankommen:
“There are festivals that I have established for you. Those will also be sacred/holy days when you must gather together [to worship me].
5 På fjortonde dagen i första månadenom om aftonen är Herrans Passah;
[The first festival is] (the Passover/when you remember that I spared your ancestors when I killed all the firstborn Egyptian sons). That festival will begin at twilight/dusk/sunset on the chosen day (each spring/in March or April each year), [and end on the following day].
6 Och på den femtonde i samma månadenom är Herrans osyrade bröds högtid; då skolen I äta osyradt bröd i sju dagar.
The next day, the Festival of Eating Bread That Has No Yeast will begin. That festival will continue for seven days. During that time, the bread that you eat must be made without yeast.
7 Den förste dagen skall kallas helig ibland eder, då I sammankommen; då skolen I intet tjenstearbete göra;
On the first day of that festival, you all must stop your regular work and you must gather together [to worship me].
8 Och offra Herranom i sju dagar. Den sjunde dagen skall ock helig kallas, då I tillhopakommen; på honom skolen I ock intet tjenstearbete göra.
On each of the seven days, you must present to me [several animals to be] an offering/sacrifice to be completely burned [on the altar]. On the seventh day, you all must again stop your regular work and gather to worship me.”
9 Och Herren talade med Mose, och sade:
Yahweh also told Moses/me
10 Tala till Israels barn, och säg till dem: När I kommen i landet, som jag eder gifva skall, och I skolen uppskära, så skolen I föra till Presten en kärfva, förstlingen af edro säd.
to tell the Israeli people [about other festivals]. He said, “When you arrive in the land which I am giving to you, and you harvest your crops [for the first time] there, bring to the priest some of the first grain that you harvest.
11 Då skall den kärfven varda veftad för Herranom, att det skall blifva tacknämligit af eder. Och detta skall Presten göra på den andra dagen näst efter Sabbathen.
On the day after the [next] Sabbath/rest day, the priest will lift it up [high to dedicate it] to me, in order that I will accept it as your [gift].
12 Och I skolen på den dagen, då edar kärfve veftad varder, göra Herranom ett bränneoffer af ett lamb, det utan vank och årsgammalt är;
That same day, you must sacrifice to me a one-year-old male lamb that has no defects. You must burn it [on the altar].
13 Samt med spisoffret, två tiungar semlomjöl, blandadt med oljo, till en söt lukts offer Herranom; dertill dryckoffer, en fjerding af ett hin vin;
You must also burn an offering of grain. That offering must consist of (three quarts/3.5 liters) of good flour mixed with [olive] oil. The smell [of those things burning] will be very pleasing to me. Along with that, you must also offer one quart/liter of wine, which will be a liquid offering.
14 Och skolen intet äta af det nya, hvarken bröd, torkad ax eller korn, intill den dagen, då I bären edrom Gud offer. Det skall vara en evig rätt till edra efterkommande, ehvar I bon.
Do not eat any bread or any roasted grain or unroasted grain on that day until after you have brought those offerings to me, your God. You must always obey [LIT] those commands, wherever you live.”
15 Sedan skolen I räkna ifrå den andra Sabbathsdagen, då I båren veftekärfvan fram, sju hela Sabbather;
“Seven weeks after the priest offers that grain to me,
16 Intill den andra dagen efter den sjunde Sabbathen; det är, femtio dagar skolen I räkna och offra Herranom nytt spisoffer;
on the next/50th day after he offers it, [each family] must bring to me an offering from the new crop of grain.
17 Och skolen offra det af alla edra boningar, nämliga tu veftebröd af två tiungar semlomjöl, syradt och bakadt Herranom till en förstling;
From your homes, bring two loaves of bread [to the priest]. He will lift them up [high to dedicate them] as an offering to me. Those loaves must be baked from three quarts/liters of good flour that has yeast mixed with it. That bread will be an offering to me from the first wheat that you harvest [each year].
18 Och skolen frambära med edor bröd sju årsgamla lamb utan vank, och en ung stut, och två vädrar. Det skall vara Herrans bränneoffer, spisoffer och dryckoffer; det är en söt lukts offer Herranom.
Along with this bread, you must present to me seven one-year-old lambs with no defects, one young bull, and two rams. They must all be completely burned [on the altar]. All those offerings, with the grain offering and the wine offering, will be burned, and the smell [of all those things burning] will be very pleasing to me.
19 Dertill skolen I göra en getabock till syndoffer, och tu årsgamla lamb till tackoffer.
Then you must also kill one male goat to be an offering/sacrifice for your sins, and two one-year-old male lambs to be an offering to enable you to maintain fellowship with me.
20 Och Presten skall vefta det med förstlingsbrödena för Herranom till de tu lamben; och skall vara Herranom heligt, och höra Presten till.
The priest will lift up these offerings [high to dedicate them] to me. He will also offer the loaves of bread that were baked from the first wheat that you harvest. Those offerings are sacred to me, but they are for the priests [to eat].
21 Och I skolen utropa denna dagen; ty han skall kallas helig ibland eder, då I sammankommen; intet tjenstearbete skolen I göra. En evig rätt skall det vara, till edra efterkommande, ehvar I bon.
On that day, you must stop your regular work and gather to worship me. You must always obey those instructions/commands, and you must obey them wherever you live.
22 När I uppskären sädena i edro lande, skolen I icke allt uppskära på åkren, och icke alltför noga upphemta; utan skolen det låta dem fattigom, och främlingom. Jag är Herren edar Gud.
“When you harvest the grain in your fields, do not harvest the grain along the edges of the fields, and do not pick up the grain that the harvesters drop. Leave that grain for the poor people and for the foreigners who are living among you. [Do not forget that it is] I, Yahweh your God, [who am commanding those things]!”
23 Och Herren talade med Mose, och sade:
Yahweh also told Moses/me
24 Tala med Israels barnom, och säg: På första dagen i sjunde månadenom skolen I hålla blåsandens helga Sabbath till åminnelse, då I sammankommen.
to give these instructions/commands to the Israeli people: “[Each year] in September, on the day that I have chosen, you all must celebrate it by completely resting. You must not do any work on that day. When [the priests] blow their trumpets loudly, you all must gather together to worship me.
25 Då skolen I intet tjenstearbete göra; och skolen göra Herranom offer.
All of you must not do your regular work on that day. Instead, you must present offerings to me that will be burned [on the altar].”
26 Och Herren talade med Mose, och sade:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
27 På tionde dagen i denna sjunde månadenom är Försonedagen; den skall ibland eder kallas helig, att I tillhopakommen. Då skolen I späka edra kroppar, och offra Herranom.
“You must celebrate a day [on which you request that I] forgive you for the sins that you have committed. That day will be nine days after the festival [when the priests blow] the trumpets. On that day you must (fast/abstain from eating food). You must gather together to worship me and present offerings to me that will be burned [on the altar].
28 Och skolen intet arbete göra på denna dagen; ty det är en försonedag, att I skolen försonade varda för Herranom edrom Gud.
You must not do any work on that day, because it is the day when the priests will offer sacrifices to me to (atone for/ask me to forgive) your sins.
29 Ty hvilken icke späker sin kropp på denna dagen, den skall utrotad varda utu hans folk.
You must expel from your group anyone who does not (fast/abstain from eating food) on that day.
30 Och hvilken på denna dagen något arbete gör, den skall jag förgöra utu hans folk.
I will get rid of anyone who does any kind of work on that day.
31 Derföre skolen I intet arbete göra. Det skall vara en evig rätt till edra efterkommande, ehvar I bon.
You must not work at all! You must always obey those instructions/commands, and you must obey them wherever you live.
32 Det är edar store Sabbath, att I skolen späka edra kroppar. På nionde dagen i månadenom om aftonen skolen I hålla denna Sabbath, ifrån aftonen och åter intill aftonen.
That day will be a day of complete rest for all of you, and on that day you must (fast/abstain from eating food) [to show that you are sorry for having sinned]. That day of rest and (fasting/abstaining from eating food) will begin on the evening before the day in which you ask me to forgive you for your sins, and it will end on the evening of the following day.”
33 Och Herren talade med Mose, och sade:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
34 Tala med Israels barn, och säg: På femtonde dagen i denna sjunde månadenom är löfhyddohögtid i sju dagar Herranom.
“Tell the Israeli people that [each year] they must also celebrate a festival of living in temporary shelters. That festival will begin five days after the day in which they request me to forgive them for their sins. It will last for seven days.
35 Den förste dagen skall kallas helig, att I sammankommen; intet tjenstearbete skolen I göra.
On the first day of that festival, the people must gather together to worship me, and they must not do any regular work on that day.
36 I sju dagar skolen I offra Herranom. Den åttonde dagen skall ock kallas helig, att I sammankommen. Och I skolen göra edart offer Herranom; ty det är samlingesdag; intet tjenstearbete skolen I göra.
On each of the seven days of the festival, they must present to me an offering [of animals] that will be burned [on the altar]. On the next day, they must gather again to worship me and present to me another animal that will be burned [on the altar]. That also will be a sacred gathering, and they must not work on that day, either.
37 Desse äro Herrans helgedagar, de I skolen heliga hålla, att I sammankommen, och gören Herranom offer, bränneoffer, spisoffer, dryckoffer, och annor offer, hvart efter sin dag.
“[To summarize], those are the festivals that I have appointed. Celebrate those sacred festivals by gathering together to present to me all the various offerings that will be burned [on the altar]—animals that will be burned completely, and offerings of grain, and offerings to enable the Israeli people to maintain fellowship with me, and offerings of wine. Each offering must be brought on the day that I have indicated.
38 Förutan det Herrans Sabbath, och edra gåfvor och löfte, och friviljoga gåfvor äro, som I gifven Herranom;
(Those festivals must be celebrated/You must celebrate those festivals) in addition to [worshiping on] the (Sabbath days/days of rest). And all those offerings must be given in addition to the offerings that people personally decide to give, and in addition to the offerings that people make to accompany the solemn promises that they have made, or offerings that people make (voluntarily/because they themselves want to).
39 Så skolen I nu på femtonde dagen i sjunde månadenom, när I hafven i hus samlat årsväxten af landena, hålla Herrans högtid i sju dagar. På första dagenom är Sabbath, och på åttonde dagenom är ock Sabbath.
“[Returning to my instructions about] the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters, you must celebrate this festival after you have harvested all the crops. On the first day and on the last day of that festival, you must rest completely.
40 Och I skolen på första dagenom taga frukt af skön trä, palmtelningar, och qvistar af tjockqvistadt trä, och pilträ; och vara glade i sju dagar för Herranom edrom Gud;
But on the first day, you are permitted to pick fruit from trees. Cut palm fronds/branches and other leafy branches from trees or from bushes that grow by the streams, [and make shelters/huts to live in for that week]. Then rejoice in my presence for those seven days.
41 Och skolen alltså hålla Herranom den högtiden om året i sju dagar; det skall vara en evig rätt till edra efterkommande, att de så skola hålla helg uti den sjunde månaden.
You must celebrate this festival for seven days every year. You must never stop obeying my commands/instructions for that festival. You must celebrate it in September.
42 Sju dagar skolen I bo i löfhyddor. Den en inländning är i Israel, han skall bo i löfhyddor;
During the seven days of that festival, all of you people who have been Israelis your entire lives must live in shelters/huts.
43 Att edra efterkommande skola veta, huru jag hafver låtit Israels barn bo i hyddor, då jag förde dem utur Egypti land. Jag är Herren edar Gud.
That will remind your descendants that their ancestors lived in shelters [for many years] after I rescued them from Egypt. [Do not forget that] I, Yahweh your God, [am the one who is commanding this].”
44 Och Mose sade Israels barnom om denna Herrans helg.
So Moses/I gave to the Israeli people all those instructions concerning the festivals that Yahweh [wanted them to celebrate] each year.
