2 Mosebog 40

1 Og HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:

Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,

2 Paa den første Dag i den første Maaned skal du rejse Aabenbaringsteltets Bolig.

“On the first day of the first month next year, [tell the people to] set up the Sacred Tent.

3 Sæt saa Vidnesbyrdets Ark derind og hæng Forhænget op for Arken.

Put inside it the sacred chest [that contains the stone slabs on which are engraved] the Ten Commandments, and hang the curtain in front of it.

4 Og du skal bringe Bordet ind og ordne, hvad dertil hører, og bringe Lysestagen ind og sætte Lamperne paa.

Bring the table into the Sacred Tent, and place on it all the things that are to be used with it. Bring in the lampstand and fasten the lamps to it.

5 Stil Guldalteret til Røgelsen op foran Vidnesbyrdets Ark og hæng Forhænget op foran Boligens Indgang.

Put the gold altar for [burning] incense in front of the sacred chest, and set up the curtain at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.

6 Stil Brændofferalteret op foran Indgangen til Aabenbaringsteltets Bolig

Put the altar for burning sacrifices in front of the Sacred Tent.

7 og stil Vandkummen op mellem Aabenbaringsteltet og Alteret og hæld Vand deri.

Put the washbasin between the Sacred Tent and the altar, and fill it with water.

8 Rejs Forgaarden rundt om og hæng Forhænget op foran Forgaardens Indgang.

Hang the curtains that will surround the courtyard, and hang the curtain at its entrance.

9 Tag Salveolien og salv Boligen og alle Ting deri, og du skal hellige den med alt dens Tilbehør, saa den bliver hellig.

Then take the oil for anointing, and anoint the Sacred Tent and everything that is in it, to (set it apart/dedicate it) to me. Then it will be holy/sacred.

10 Du skal salve Brændofferalteret og alt dets Tilbehør og hellige Alteret, saa det bliver højhelligt.

Also anoint the altar for offering sacrifices that will be completely burned, and all the things that will be used with it, and set it apart. Then it also will be holy/sacred.

11 Og du skal salve Vandkummen og Fodstykket og hellige den.

Also anoint the washbasin and its base, to set it apart.

12 Lad saa Aron og hans Sønner træde hen til Aabenbaringsteltets Indgang, tvæt dem med Vand

Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and wash them [ritually] with water.

13 og ifør Aron de hellige Klæder, salv og hellig ham til at gøre Præstetjeneste for mig.

Then put on Aaron his sacred clothes to (set him apart/dedicate him), in order that he can serve me as a priest.

14 Lad saa hans Sønner træde frem, ifør dem Kjortler

Also bring his sons there. Put their sacred tunics/gowns on them

15 og salv dem, som du salver deres Fader, til at gøre Præstetjeneste for mig. Saaledes skal det ske, for at et evigt Præstedømme kan blive dem til Del fra Slægt til Slægt i Kraft af denne Salvning, som du foretager paa dem.

and anoint them just as you anointed their father, in order that they also may serve me by working as priests. By anointing them [and their descendants], you will cause them and their descendants to be priests throughout all coming generations.”

16 Og Moses gjorde ganske som HERREN havde paalagt ham; saaledes gjorde han.

Moses/I did all these things exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.

17 Paa den første Dag i den første Maaned i det andet Aar blev Boligen rejst.

On the first day of the first month of the next year (OR, second year [after they/we left Egypt]), the people set up the Sacred Tent.

18 Moses rejste Boligen, idet han anbragte Fodstykkerne, rejste Brædderne, stak Tværstængerne ind, rejste Pillerne,

Following Moses’/my instructions, they set up the Sacred Tent and its bases, set up the frames, attached the crossbars, and put up the posts [for the curtains].

19 spændte Teltdækket ud over Boligen og lagde Teltdækkets Dække ovenover, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses.

Then they spread out the coverings over the Sacred Tent, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.

20 Derpaa tog han Vidnesbyrdet og lagde det i Arken, stak Bærestængerne i Arken og lagde Sonedækket oven paa den;

Then he/I took the two stone slabs [on which the commandments were written] and put them in the sacred chest. He/I put the carrying poles [in the rings] on the chest and put the lid on top of the chest.

21 saa bragte han Arken ind i Boligen og hængte det indre Forhæng op og tilhyllede saaledes Vidnesbyrdets Ark, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses.

Then he/I took the chest into [the Very Holy Place inside] the Sacred Tent and hung the curtain. In that way, he/I prevented the people who were outside from seeing the chest. He/I did all this exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.

22 Derpaa opstillede han Bordet i Aabenbaringsteltet ved Boligens nordre Væg uden for Forhænget,

He/I set the table inside the Sacred Tent, on the north side, outside the curtain.

23 og han lagde Brødene i Række derpaa for HERRENS Aasyn, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses.

He/I placed on the table the bread that was offered to Yahweh, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.

24 Derpaa satte han Lysestagen ind i Aabenbaringsteltet lige over for Bordet, ved Boligens søndre Væg;

He/I set the lampstand inside the Sacred Tent, on the south side, opposite the table.

25 og han satte Lamperne derpaa for HERRENS Aasyn, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses.

Then he/I fastened the lamps to the lampstand in Yahweh’s presence, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.

26 Derpaa stillede han Guldalteret op i Aabenbaringsteltet foran Forhænget,

He/I set the golden altar for burning incense inside the Sacred Tent, in front of the curtain [that separated the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place],

27 og han tændte vellugtende Røgelse derpaa, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses.

and he/I burned some sweet-smelling incense on it, exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.

28 Derpaa hængte han Forhænget op for Boligens Indgang.

He/I hung the curtain at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.

29 Brændofferalteret opstillede han foran Indgangen til Aabenbaringsteltets Bolig og ofrede Brændofferet og Afgrødeofferet derpaa, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses.

At the entrance to the Sacred Tent, he/I set the altar for offering sacrifices that were to be burned completely. Then he/I offered on it the meat that was to be burned completely and the grain offering, exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.

30 Derpaa opstillede han Vandkummen mellem Aabenbaringsteltet og Alteret og hældte Vand deri til Tvætning.

He/I set the washbasin between the Sacred Tent and the [bronze] altar, and he/I filled the washbasin with water.

31 Og Moses og Aron og hans Sønner tvættede deres Hænder og Fødder deri;

Every time Moses/I and Aaron and his sons went into the Sacred Tent or went to the altar, they/we washed their/our hands and feet [ritually], exactly as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.

32 naar de gik ind i Aabenbaringsteltet og traadte hen til Alteret, tvættede de sig, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses.

33 Saa rejste han Forgaarden rundt om Boligen og Alteret og hængte Forhænget op for Forgaardens Indgang. Hermed var Moses færdig med Arbejdet.

Following Moses’/my instructions, they hung the curtains that surrounded the courtyard and the altar, and they hung the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard. So Moses/I finished that work.

34 Da dækkede Skyen Aabenbaringsteltet, og HERRENS Herlighed fyldte Boligen;

Then the [tall bright] cloud covered the Sacred Tent, and Yahweh’s (glory/brilliant light) filled the Sacred Tent.

35 og Moses kunde ikke gaa ind i Aabenbaringsteltet, fordi Skyen havde lagt sig derover, og HERRENS Herlighed fyldte Boligen.

Because that light was very bright, Moses/I was not able to enter the Sacred Tent.

36 Men under hele deres Vandring brød Israeliterne op, naar Skyen løftede sig fra Boligen;

From that day, whenever the Israeli people wanted to move to another place, they went only when the bright cloud rose from above the Sacred Tent.

37 og naar Skyen ikke løftede sig, brød de ikke op, men ventede, til den atter løftede sig.

If the cloud did not rise, they stayed where they were and did not go on until the cloud rose.

38 Thi HERRENS Sky laa over Boligen om Dagen, og om Natten lyste Ild i Skyen for alle Israeliternes Øjne under hele deres Vandring.

Wherever they traveled, the bright cloud that [indicated] Yahweh’s [presence] was above the Sacred Tent during the day, and a [bright] fire was inside the cloud at night, with the result that all the Israeli people [MTY] could see it [at any time].
