4 Mosebog 10
1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
Yahweh also told Moses/me,
2 Du skal lave dig to Sølvtrompeter; i drevet Arbejde skal du lave dem. Dem skal du bruge, når Menigheden skal kaldes sammen, og når Lejrene skal bryde op.
“[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 Når der blæses i dem begge to, skal hele Menigheden samle sig hos dig ved Indgangen til Åbenbaringsteltet.
If both trumpets are blown, it means that everyone must gather together at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
4 Blæses der kun i den ene, skal Øversterne, Overhovederne for Israels Stammer, samle sig hos dig.
If only one trumpet is blown, it means that only the [twelve] leaders of the tribes must gather together.
5 Når I blæser Alarm med dem, skal Lejrene på Østsiden bryde op;
If the trumpets are blown loudly, the tribes that are to the east [of the Sacred Tent] should start to travel.
6 blæser Alarm anden Gang, skal Lejrene på Sydsiden bryde op: tredje Gang skal Lejrene mod Vest bryde op, fjerde Gang Lejrene mod Nord; der skal blæses Alarm, når de skal bryde op.
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 Forsamlingen skal sammenkaldes skal I blæse på almindelig Vis, ikke Alarm.
When you want only to gather the people together, blow the trumpets, but do not blow them as loudly.
8 Arons Sønner, Præsterne, skal blæse i Trompeterne; det skal være eder en evig gyldig Anordning fra Slægt til Slægt.
“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 Når I drager i Krig i eders Land mod en Fjende, der angriber eder, og blæser Alarm med Trompeterne, skal I ihukommes for HERREN eders Guds Åsyn og frelses fra eders Fjender.
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 eders Glædesdage, eders Højtider og Nymånedage, skal I blæse i Trompeterne ved eders Brændofre og Takofre; så skal de tjene eder til Ihukommelse for eders Guds Åsyn. Jeg er HERREN eders 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 Den tyvende Dag i den anden Måned af det andet År løftede Skyen sig fra Vidnesbyrdets Bolig.
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 Da brød Israeliterne op fra Sinaj Ørken, i den Orden de skulde bryde op i, og Skyen stod stille i Parans Ørken.
So we/the Israelis traveled from the Sinai Desert, and we/they continued traveling [north] until the cloud stopped in the Paran Desert.
13 Da de nu første Gang brød op efter Guds Bud ved Moses,
That was the first time we/they moved, obeying the instructions that Yahweh had given to Moses/me to tell them.
14 var Judæernes Lejr den første, der brød op under sit Felttegn, Hærafdeling for Hærafdeling; deres Hær førtes af Nahasjon, Amminadabs Søn.
The group that went first, carrying their flag/banner, was the group from the tribe of Judah. Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, was their leader.

28 Således foregik Israelitternes Opbrud, Hærafdeling for Hærafdeling. Så brød de da op.
That was the order in which the groups of Israeli tribes traveled.
29 Men Moses sagde til Midjaniten Hobab, Reuels Søn, Moses's Svigerfader: "Vi bryder nu op for at drage til det Sted, HERREN har lovet at give os; drag med os! Vi skal lønne dig godt, thi HERREN har stillet Israel gode Ting i Udsigt."
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 Men han svarede ham: "Jeg vil ikke drage med; nej, jeg drager til mit Land og min Slægt."
But Hobab replied, “No, I will not go with you. I want to return to my own land and to my own family.”
31 Da sagde han: "Forlad os ikke! Du kender jo de Steder, hvor vi kan slå Lejr i Ørkenen; vær Øje for os!
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 Drager du med os, skal vi give dig Del i alt det gode, HERREN vil give os."
Come with us. We will share with you all the good things that Yahweh gives to us.”
33 Derpå brød de op fra HERRENs Bjerg og vandrede tre Dagsrejser frem, idet HERRENs Pagts Ark drog i Forvejen for at søge dem et Sted, hvor de kunde holde Hvil.
[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 Og HERRENs Sky svævede over dem om Dagen, når de brød op fra Lejren.
The cloud sent by Yahweh was over them every day.
35 Og hver Gang Arken brød op, sagde Moses: "Stå op, HERRE, at dine Fjender må splittes og dine Avindsmænd fly for dit Åsyn!"
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 hver Gang den standsede, sagde han: "Vend tilbage, HERRE, til Israels Stammers Titusinder!"
And each time the men [stopped to] set down the sacred chest, Moses/I said, “Yahweh, stay close to the thousands of us Israelis!”
