4 Mosebok 10
1 Og Herren tala atter til Moses, og sagde:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 «Gjer deg tvo lurar av drive sylv! Deim skal du hava til å kalla lyden i hop med, og til å varsla folket når lægret skal flytjast.
“Make two trumpets of silver. You shall make them of beaten work. You shall use them for the calling of the congregation and for the journeying of the camps.
3 Blæs de i båe, so skal heile lyden samla seg hjå deg framanfor møtetjelddøri;
When they blow them, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
4 blæs de berre i ein, so skal styresmennerne, hovdingarne yver Israels-ætterne, samla seg hjå deg.
If they blow just one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves to you.
5 Blæs de alarm, so skal dei flokkarne fara i veg som hev lægret sitt i aust;
When you blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall go forward.
6 blæs de alarm andre venda, so skal dei som ligg i sud taka ut. Alarm skal de blåsa kvar gong de bryt upp frå lægret;
When you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall go forward. They shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
7 men når du vil kalla folket i hop til ålmannamøte, skal de låta lint i lurarne, og ikkje blåsa alarm.
But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm.
8 Arons-sønerne, prestarne, er det som skal blåsa i deim. Dette skal vera ei æveleg lov hjå dykk, frå ætt til ætt.
“The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. This shall be to you for a statute forever throughout your generations.
9 Og når de fær ufred i landet, og fienden bryt på dykk, so skal de blåsa sterkt i lurarne; då skal Herren, dykkar Gud, koma dykk i hug, so de vert berga for uvenerne.
When you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets. Then you will be remembered before the LORD your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.
10 Og på glededagarne dykkar og høgtiderne og nymånedagarne skal de låta i lurarne til brennofferi og takkofferi dykkar, so det kann minna dykkar Gud um dykk. Eg, Herren, er dykkar Gud.»
“Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God. I am the LORD your God.”

30 «Nei, » svara Hobab, «eg vil fara heim til mitt eige land og folk.»
He said to him, “I will not go; but I will depart to my own land, and to my relatives.”
