4 Mosebog 19
1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og Aron og sagde:
And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2 Dette er det Lovbud, HERREN har kundgjort: Sig til Israelitterne, at de skal skaffe dig en rød, lydefri Kvie, der er uden Fejl og ikke har båret Åg.
“This [is] a statute of the law which YHWH has commanded, saying, Speak to the sons of Israel, and they bring a red cow to you, a perfect one, in which there is no blemish, on which no yoke has gone up;
3 Den skal I overgive til Præsten Eleazar, og man skal føre den uden for Lejren og slagte den for hans Åsyn.
and you have given it to Eleazar the priest, and he has brought it out to the outside of the camp, and has slaughtered it before him.
4 Så skal Præsten Eleazar tage noget af dens Blod på sin Finger og stænke det syv Gange i Retning af Åbenbaringsteltets Forside.
And Eleazar the priest has taken of its blood with his finger, and has sprinkled [it] toward the front of the face of the Tent of Meeting from its blood seven times;
5 Derpå skal Kvien brændes i hans Påsyn; dens Hud, Kød og Blod tillige med Skarnet skal opbrændes.
and [one] has burned the cow before his eyes; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, besides her dung, he burns;
6 Derefter skal Præsten tage Cedertræ, Ysop og karmoisinrødt Uld og kaste det på Bålet, hvor Kvien brænder.
and the priest has taken cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and has cast [them] into the midst of the burning of the cow;
7 Så skal Præsten tvætte sine Klæder og bade sit Legeme i Vand og derefter vende tilbage til Lejren. Men Præsten skal være uren til Aften.
and the priest has washed his garments, and has bathed his flesh with water, and afterward comes into the camp, and the priest is unclean until the evening;
8 Ligeledes skal den Mand, der brænder Kvien, tvætte sine Klæder med Vand og bade sit Legeme i Vand og være uren til Aften.
and he who is burning it washes his garments with water, and has bathed his flesh with water, and is unclean until the evening.
9 Og en Mand, der er ren, skal opsamle Kviens Aske og lægge den hen på et rent Sted uden for Lejren, hvor den skal opbevares for Israelitternes Menighed for at bruges til Renselsesvand. Det er et Syndoffer.
And a clean man has gathered the ashes of the cow, and has placed [them] at the outside of the camp in a clean place, and it has become a charge for the congregation of the sons of Israel for waters of separation—it [is for] sin;
10 Og den, der opsamler Kviens Aske, skal tvætte sine Klæder og være uren til Aften. For Israelitterne og den fremmede, der bor iblandt dem, skal dette være en evig gyldig Anordning:
and he who is gathering the ashes of the heifer has washed his garments and is unclean until the evening; and it has been to the sons of Israel and to the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst for a continuous statute.
11 Den, der rører ved en død, ved noget som helst Lig, skal være uren i syv Dage.
He who is coming against the dead body of any man is unclean [for] seven days;
12 Han skal lade sig rense for Synd med Asken på den tredje og syvende Dag, så bliver han ren; men renser han sig ikke på den tredje og syvende Dag, bliver han ikke ren.
he cleanses himself for it on the third day and on the seventh day, [and] he is clean; and if he does not cleanse himself on the third day and on the seventh day, he is not clean.
13 Enhver, der rører ved en død, et Lig, og ikke lader sig rense for Synd, besmitter HERRENs Bolig, og det Menneske skal udryddes af Israel, fordi der ikke er stænket Renselsesvand på ham; han er uren, hans Urenhed klæber endnu ved ham.
Anyone who is coming against the dead, against the body of man who dies, and does not cleanse himself, he has defiled the Dwelling Place of YHWH, and that person has been cut off from Israel, for water of separation is not sprinkled on him; he is unclean; his uncleanness [is] still on him.
14 Således er Loven: Når et Menneske dør i et Telt, bliver enhver, der træder ind i Teltet, og enhver, der er i Teltet, uren i syv Dage;
This [is] the law when a man dies in a tent: everyone who is coming into the tent and all that [is] in the tent are unclean [for] seven days;
15 og ethvert åbent Kar, et, der ikke er bundet noget over, bliver urent.
and every open vessel which has no covering of thread on it is unclean.
16 Ligeledes bliver enhver, der på åben Mark rører ved en, der er dræbt med Sværd, eller ved en, der er død, eller ved Menneskeknogler eller en Grav, uren i syv Dage.
And everyone on the face of the field who comes against the pierced of a sword, or against the dead, or against a bone of man, or against a grave, is unclean [for] seven days;
17 For sådanne urene skal man da tage noget af Asken af det brændte Syndoffer og hælde rindende Vand derover i en Skål.
and for the unclean person they have taken from the ashes of the burning of the [cow], and he has put running water over it into a vessel;
18 Derpå skal en Mand, der er ren, tage en Ysopstængel, dyppe den i Vandet og stænke det på Teltet og på alle de Ting og Mennesker, der har været deri, og på den, der har rørt ved Menneskeknoglerne, den ihjelslagne, den døde eller Graven.
and a clean person has taken hyssop, and has dipped [it] in water, and has sprinkled [it] on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on the persons who have been there, and on him who is coming against a bone, or against one pierced, or against the dead, or against a grave.
19 Således skal den rene bestænke den urene på den tredje og syvende Dag og borttage hans Synd på den syvende Dag. Derefter skal han tvætte sine Klæder og bade sig i Vand, så er han ren, når det bliver aften.
And the clean has sprinkled [it] on the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day, and has cleansed him on the seventh day, and he has washed his garments, and has bathed with water, and has been clean in the evening.
20 Men den, som bliver uren og ikke lader sig rense for Synd, han skal udryddes af Forsamlingen; thi han har besmittet HERRENs Helligdom, der er ikke stænket Renselsesvand på ham, han er uren.
And the man who is unclean and does not cleanse himself, indeed, that person has been cut off from the midst of the assembly; for he has defiled the sanctuary of YHWH; water of separation is not sprinkled on him; he [is] unclean.
21 Det skal være eder en evig gyldig Anordning. Den, der stænker Renselsesvandet, skal tvætte sine Klæder, og den, der rører ved Renselsesvandet, skal være uren til Aften.
And it has been for a continuous statute to them, that he who is sprinkling the water of separation washes his garments, and he who is coming against the water of separation is unclean until the evening,
22 Alt, hvad den urene rører ved skal være urent, og enhver, der rører ved ham, skal være uren til Aften.
and all against which the unclean person comes is unclean, and the person who is coming against [it] is unclean until the evening.”
