3 Mosebog 4

1 Og HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:

Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,

2 Tal til Israeliterne og sig: Når nogen af Vanvare forsynder sig mod noget af HERRENs Forbud og overtræder et af dem, da skal følgende iagttages:

“Say this to the Israeli people: This is what must be done if someone sins without intending to sin, doing something that is forbidden in any of Yahweh’s commands.

3 Er det den salvede Præst, der forsynder sig, så der pådrages Folket Skyld, skal han for den Synd, han har begået, bringe HERREN en lydefri ung Tyr som Syndoffer.

'If the Supreme [MTY] Priest sins, and that causes all the people to be guilty, he must bring to Yahweh a young bull that has no defects. That will be an offering for the sin that he has committed.

4 Han skal føre Tyren hen til Åbenbaringsteltets Indgang for HERRENs Åsyn og lægge sin Hånd på dens Hoved og slagte den for HERRENs Åsyn,

He must bring the bull to the entrance to the Sacred Tent. He must lay his hands on its head. Then he must slaughter it in front of Yahweh [and drain some of the blood into a bowl].

5 og den salvede Præst skal tage noget af Tyrens Blod og bringe det ind i Åbenbaringsteltet,

Then the Supreme Priest must take some of that blood into the Sacred Tent.

6 og Præsten skal dyppe sin Finger i Blodet og stænke det syv Gange for HERRENs Åsyn foran Helligdommens Forhæng;

He must dip [one of] his fingers into the blood and sprinkle it seven times in the presence of Yahweh, in front of the curtain [that separates the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place].

7 og Præsten skal stryge noget af Blodet på Røgelsealterets Horn for HERRENs Åsyn, det, som står i Åbenbaringsteltet; Resten af Tyrens Blod skal han udgyde ved Foden af Brændofferalteret, som står ved Indgangen til Åbenbaringsteltet.

Then he must put some of the blood on the projections at the corners of the altar where fragrant incense is burned in the Sacred Tent in the presence of Yahweh. The remaining part of the bull’s blood [that is still in the bowl], he must pour out at the base of the altar, where sacrifices are burned, at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.

8 Men alt Syndoffertyrens Fedt skal han tage ud Fedtet, som dækker Indvoldene, og alt Fedtet på Indvoldene,

From that offering the Supreme Priest must separate these things from the bull that is to be burned: The fat that covers the inner parts of the bull or which is attached to them—

9 begge Nyrerne med det Fedt, som sidder på dem ved Lændemusklerne, og Leverlappen, som han skal skille fra ved Nyrerne,

the kidneys and the fat that is attached to them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.

10 på samme Måde som det udtages af Takofferoksen. Og Præsten skal bringe det som Røgoffer på Brændofferalteret.

Then the Supreme Priest must completely burn those things on the altar. That will be just like when the fat is removed from an animal that is sacrificed to maintain good fellowship [with Yahweh].

11 Men Tyrens Hud og alt dens Kød tillige med dens Hoved, Skinneben, Indvolde og Skarn,

But all the other parts of the animal—its skin/hide and all its other meat, its head and its legs, its inner parts and the intestines,

12 hele Tyren skal han bringe uden for Lejren til et urent Sted, til Askedyngen, og brænde den på et Bål af Brænde; oven på Aske; dyngen skal den brændes.

he must take outside the camp and throw them in a place that is acceptable to Yahweh, where the ashes are thrown, and he must burn them in a fire on the pile of ashes.

13 Men hvis det et hele Israels Menighed, der forser sig, uden at Forsamlingen ved af det, og de har overtrådt et af HERRENs Forbud og derved pådraget sig Skyld,

‘If all the Israeli people sin without intending to sin, doing something that is forbidden in any of Yahweh’s commands, they will be guilty, even if they do not realize that they have sinned.

14 da skal Forsamlingen, når den Synd, de har begået mod Forbudet, bliver kendt, bringe en ung, lydefri Tyr som Syndoffer; de skal føre den hen foran Åbenbaringsteltet,

When they realize that they have committed a sin, together they must bring a young bull to be an offering for their sin, to the front of the Sacred Tent.

15 og Menighedens Ældste skal lægge deres Hænder på Tyrens Hoved for HERRENs Åsyn, og man skal slagte den for HERRENs Åsyn.

The elders must lay their hands on the bull’s head in the presence of Yahweh and slaughter it [and catch some of the blood in a bowl].

16 Derpå skal den salvede Præst bringe noget af Tyrens Blod ind i Åbenbaringsteltet,

Then the Supreme [MTY] Priest must take some of that blood into the Sacred Tent.

17 og Præsten skal dyppe sin Finger i Blodet og stænke det syv Gange for HERRENs Åsyn foran Forhænget;

‘He must dip [one of] his fingers into the blood and sprinkle it seven times in the presence of Yahweh, in front of the curtain [that separates the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place].

18 og han skal stryge noget af Blodet på Hornene af Alteret, som står for HERRENs Åsyn i Åbenbaringsteltet; Resten af Blodet skal han udgyde ved Foden af Brændofferalteret, som står ved Indgangen til Åbenbaringsteltet,

Then he must put some of the blood on the projections at the corners of the altar that is in the presence of Yahweh in the Sacred Tent. The remaining part of the bull’s blood, he must pour out at the base of the altar where sacrifices are burned, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.

19 Men alt, Fedtet skal han tage ud og bringe det som Røgoffer på Alteret.

He must remove all the animal’s fat and burn it on the altar.

20 Derpå skal han gøre med Tyren på samme Måde som med den før nævnte Syndoffertyr. Da skal Præsten skaffe dem Soning, så de finder Tilgivelse.

He must do with this bull the same things that he did with the bull that was an offering for his own sins, and they will be forgiven {Yahweh will forgive them}.

21 Så skal Tyren bringes uden for Lejren og brændes på samme Måde som den før nævnte Tyr. Det er Menighedens Syndoffer.

Then the priest must take [the other parts of] the bull outside the camp and burn them, like he does when he himself has sinned. That will be the offering for the sin that all the people have committed, and they will be forgiven.

22 Men hvis det er en Øverste. der forsynder sig og af Vanvare overtræder et af HERRENs Forbud og derved på drager sig Skyld,

‘When one of the leaders sins without intending to sin, doing something that is forbidden in any of the commands of Yahweh his God, he will be guilty.

23 og den Synd, han har begået, bliver ham vitterlig, så skal den Offergave, han bringer, være en lydefri Gedebuk.

When he realizes that he has committed a sin, he must bring as his offering a male goat that has no defects.

24 Han skal lægge sin Hånd på Bukkens Hoved og slagte den der, hvor Brændofferet slagtes for HERRENs Åsyn. Det er et Syndoffer.

He must lay his hands on the goat’s head in the presence of Yahweh and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter {are slaughtered} the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar]. That will be an offering for his sin.

25 Præsten skal tage noget af Syndofferets Blod på sin Finger og stryge det på Brændofferalterets Horn, og Resten af Blodet skal han udgyde ved Brændofferalterets Fod.

Then the priest must put some of the animal’s blood [into a bowl] and dip [one of] his fingers in it and put some of the blood on the corners of the projections of the altar. Then he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

26 Og alt dets Fedt skal han bringe som Røgoffer på Alteret ligesom Fedtet fra Takofferet. Da skal Præsten skaffe ham Soning for hans Synd, så han finder Tilgivelse.

Then he must burn all the fat on the altar, as was done with the fat of the offering to maintain good fellowship [with Yahweh]. As a result of the priest’s doing that, the leader will no longer be guilty for his sin and he will be forgiven.

27 Men hvis det er en af Almuen, der af Vanvare forsynder sig ved at overtræde et af HERRENs Forbud og derved pådrager sig Skyld,

‘If one of the Israeli people who is not a priest sins without intending to sin, and does something that is forbidden in any of the commands of Yahweh his God, he will be guilty.

28 og den Synd, han har begået, bliver ham vitterlig, så skal Offergaven, han bringer for den Synd, han har begået, være en lydefri Ged.

When he realizes that he has committed a sin, he must bring as his offering a female goat that has no defects.

29 Han skal lægge sin Hånd på Syndofferets Hoved og slagte Syndofferet der, hvor Brændofferet slagtes.

He must lay his hands on the goat’s head and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar, and catch some of the blood in a bowl].

30 Præsten skal tage noget af Gedens Blod på sin Finger og stryge det på Brændofferalterets Horn, og Resten af Blodet skal han udgyde ved Alterets Fod.

Then the priest must dip [one of] his fingers in the blood, and put some of it on the projections at the corners of the altar. Then he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

31 Og alt Fedtet skal han tage ud, på samme Måde som Fedtet tages ud af Takofferet, og Præsten skal bringe det som Røgoffer på Alteret til en liflig Duft for HERREN. Da skal Præsten skaffe ham Soning, så han finder Tilgivelse.

Then he must remove all the goat’s fat, and burn all the fat on the altar, like was done with the fat of the offering to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh. As a result of the priest doing that, the person will no longer be guilty for his sin, and he will be forgiven.

32 Men hvis den Offergave, han vil bringe som Syndoffer, er et Lam, da skal det være et lydefrit Hundyr, han bringer.

‘If that person brings a lamb to be his offering for sin, he must bring a female lamb that has no defects.

33 Han skal lægge sin Hånd på Syndofferets Hoved og slagte det som Syndoffer der, hvor Brændofferet slagtes.

He must lay his hands on the lamb’s head and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar, and catch some of the blood in a bowl].

34 Og Præsten skal tage noget af Syndofferets Blod på sin Finger og stryge det på Brændofferalterets Horn, men Resten af Blodet skal han udgyde ved Alterets fod,

Then the priest must dip [one of] his fingers in the blood and put some of it on the projections at the corners of the altar. Then he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

35 og alt Fedtet skal han tage ud, på samme Måde som Takofferlammets Fedt tages ud, og Præsten skal bringe det som Røgoffer på Alteret oven på HERRENs Ildofre. Da skal Præsten skaffe ham Soning for den Synd, han har begået, så han finder Tilgivelse.

Then he must remove all the lamb’s fat, and burn all the fat on the altar, like was done with the fat of the offering to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]. He must burn it on top of the other offerings to Yahweh that are being burned. As a result, the priest will request God to forgive that person for his sin, and he will be forgiven.’”
