Ezekiel 44
1 Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looks toward the east; and it was shut.
Og han førte mig tilbage til Helligdommens ydre Port, som vender imod Østen, og den var tillukket.
2 The LORD said to me, “This gate shall be shut. It shall not be opened, no man shall enter in by it; for the LORD, the God of Israel, has entered in by it. Therefore it shall be shut.
Og Herren sagde til mig: Denne Port skal være tillukket, den skal ikke oplades, og ingen Mand skal gaa ind ad den, thi Herren, Israels Gud, er gaaet ind ad den, og den skal være tillukket.
3 As for the prince, he shall sit in it as prince to eat bread before the LORD. He shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out the same way.”
Hvad Fyrsten angaar, saasom han er Fyrste, han skal sidde i den for at æde Brød for Herrens Ansigt; han skal gaa ind ad Vejen til Portens Forhal og gaa ud ad samme Vej.
4 Then he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house; and I looked, and behold, the LORD’s glory filled the LORD’s house; so I fell on my face.
Og han førte mig til Porten imod Nord foran Huset, og jeg saa og se: Herrens Herlighed fyldte Herrens Hus; og jeg faldt paa mit Ansigt.
5 The LORD said to me, “Son of man, mark well, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I tell you concerning all the ordinances of the LORD’s house and all its laws; and mark well the entrance of the house, with every exit of the sanctuary.
Og Herren sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! læg det paa Hjerte, og se med dine Øjne, og hør med dine Øren alt det, som jeg taler med dig om alle Herrens Hus's Bestemmelser og om alle dets Love, og lad dit Hjerte agte paa Indgangen til Huset igennem alle Helligdommens Udgange.
6 You shall tell the rebellious, even the house of Israel, ‘The Lord GOD says: “You house of Israel, let that be enough of all your abominations,
Og du skal sige til de genstridige, til Israels Hus: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Lad det være eder nok med alle eders Vederstyggeligheder, Israels Hus!
7 in that you have brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when you offer my bread, the fat and the blood; and they have broken my covenant, to add to all your abominations.
idet I have indført fremmede med uomskaaret Hjerte og uomskaaret Kød til at være i min Helligdom for at vanhellige mit Hus, naar I ofrede mit Brød: Det fede og Blodet, saa at de brøde min Pagt, foruden alle eders Vederstyggeligheder;
8 You have not performed the duty of my holy things; but you have set performers of my duty in my sanctuary for yourselves.”
og I toge ikke Vare paa, hvad der var at varetage i mine Helligdomme, men I satte nogle til at tage Vare paa, hvad jeg vilde have varetaget i min Helligdom, efter eders eget Tykke.
9 The Lord GOD says, “No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any foreigners who are among the children of Israel.
Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Ingen fremmed med uomskaaret Hjerte og uomskaaret Kød skal komme i min Helligdom, ingen af alle de fremmede, som ere iblandt Israels Børn.
10 “‘“But the Levites who went far from me when Israel went astray, who went astray from me after their idols, they will bear their iniquity.
Men selv Leviterne, som fjernede sig fra mig, medens Israel for vild, da det forvildede sig fra mig eftej sine Afguder, de skulle bære deres Misgerning.
11 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house. They shall kill the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.
Dog skulle de tjene udi min Helligdom som Opsynsmænd ved Husets Porte og være Tjenere i Huset; de skulle slagte Brændofferet og Slagtofferet for Folket, og de skulle staa for dets Ansigt til at tjene det.
12 Because they ministered to them before their idols, and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have lifted up my hand against them,” says the Lord GOD, “and they will bear their iniquity.
Fordi de have tjent dem over for deres Afguder og ere blevne Israels Hus til Anstød, saa det syndede, derfor har! jeg opløftet min Haand imod dem, siger den Herre, Herre, at de skulle bære deres Misgerning.
13 They shall not come near to me, to execute the office of priest to me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, to the things that are most holy; but they will bear their shame and their abominations which they have committed.
Og de skulle ikke komme mig nær til at gøre Præstetjeneste for mig eller til at nærme sig nogen af mine hellige Ting, de højhellige Ting; men de skulle bære deres Skam og deres Vederstyggeligheder, som de have gjort.
14 Yet I will make them performers of the duty of the house, for all its service and for all that will be done therein.
Og jeg vil sætte dem til at tage Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage i Huset ved alt Arbejde der og ved alt, hvad der skal gøres.
15 “‘“But the Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok, who performed the duty of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, shall come near to me to minister to me. They shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood,” says the Lord GOD.
Men de Præster af Levi Stamme, som ere af Zadoks Børn, og som toge Vare paa, hvad der var at varetage i min Helligdom, der Israels Børn fore vild fra mig, de skulle komme mig nær til at tjene mig; og de skulle staa for mit Ansigt til at ofre mig det fede og Blodet, siger den Herre, Herre.
16 “They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my instruction.
De skulle gaa ind i min Helligdom og nærme sig mit Bord til at tjene mig og til at tage Vare paa, hvad jeg vil have varetaget.
17 “‘“It will be that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments. No wool shall come on them while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
Og det skal ske, naar de gaa ind ad den indre Forgaards Port, da skulle de føre sig i linnede Klæder; og ingen Uld skal komme paa dem, naar de tjene i den indre Forgaards Porte og indenfor.
18 They shall have linen turbans on their heads, and shall have linen trousers on their waists. They shall not clothe themselves with anything that makes them sweat.
Der skal være linnede Huer paa deres Hoveder, og linnede Underklæder skulle være om deres Lænder; de skulle ikke ombinde sig, saa at de komme i Sved.
19 When they go out into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they minister and lay them in the holy rooms. They shall put on other garments, that they not sanctify the people with their garments.
Og naar de gaa ud i den ydre Forgaard, i den ydre Forgaard til Folket, skulle de føre sig af deres Klæder, i hvilke de gøre Tjeneste, og lægge dem i de hellige Celler, og de skulle iføre sig andre Klæder, at de ikke skulle hellige Folket med deres Klæder.
20 “‘“They shall not shave their heads, or allow their locks to grow long. They shall only cut off the hair of their heads.
Og de skulle ikke rage deres Hoved, ikke heller lade Haaret vokse frit; de skulle omhyggeligt klippe jieres Hovedhaar.
21 None of the priests shall drink wine when they enter into the inner court.
Og Vin skal ingen af Præsterne drikke, naar de gaa ind i den indre Forgaard.
22 They shall not take for their wives a widow, or her who is put away; but they shall take virgins of the offspring of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.
Og de skulle ikke tage sig en Enke eller fraskilt til Hustru; men Jomfruer, af Israels Hus's Sæd, og den Enke, som er Enke efter en Præst, maa de tage.
23 They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
Og de skulle lære mit Folk at gøre Skel imellem det hellige og det vanhellige og kundgøre dem Forskellen imellem det urene og det rene.
24 “‘“In a controversy they shall stand to judge. They shall judge it according to my ordinances. They shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my appointed feasts. They shall make my Sabbaths holy.
Og ved en Trætte skulle de staa som Dommere, og efter mine Domme skulle de dømme i den; og mine Love og mine Skikke ved alle mine Højtider skulle de varetage, og mine Sabbater skulle de helligholde.
25 “‘“They shall go in to no dead person to defile themselves; but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister who has had no husband, they may defile themselves.
Og ingen, af dem skal gaa til et Lig, saa at de blive urene; dog for en Fader og for en Moder og for en Søn og for en Datter, for en Broder i og for en Søster, som ikke har været gift, tør de blive urene.
26 After he is cleansed, they shall reckon to him seven days.
Men efter hans Renselse skal man tælle ham syv Dage.
27 In the day that he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering,” says the Lord GOD.
Og paa den Dag, han gaar ind i Helligdommen, i den indre Forgaard, for at gøre Tjeneste i Helligdommen, skal han ofre sit Syndoffer, siger den Herre, Herre.
28 “‘They shall have an inheritance: I am their inheritance; and you shall give them no possession in Israel. I am their possession.
Og det skal være deres Arvelod: Jeg er deres Arv; og I skulle ikke give dem Ejendom i Israel: Jeg er deres Ejendom.
29 They shall eat the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs.
Madofferet og Syndofferet og Skyldofferet, dem skulle de æde, og alt bandlyst Gods i Israel skal være deres.
30 The first of all the first fruits of every thing, and every offering of everything, of all your offerings, shall be for the priest. You shall also give to the priests the first of your dough, to cause a blessing to rest on your house.
Og det første af al Førstegrøde af alle Slags og al Offergave af alle Slags, af alle eders Offergaver, det skal høre Præsterne til; og det første af eders Dejg skulle I give Præsten, at jeg maa lade Velsignelse hvile over dit Hus.
31 The priests shall not eat of anything that dies of itself or is torn, whether it is bird or animal.
Intet Aadsel og intet sønderrevet, det være sig Fugl eller Dyr, skulle Præsterne æde.
