Numbers 31

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Og HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:

Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.

"Skaf Israelitterne Hævn over Midjaniterne; så skal du samles til din Slægt!"

And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD of Midian.

Da talte Moses til Folket og sagde: "Udrust Mænd af eders Midte til Kamp, for at de kan falde over Midjan og fuldbyrde HERRENs Hævn på Midjan;

Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.

1000 Mand af hver af Israels Stammer skal I sende i Kamp!"

So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.

Af Israels Tusinder udtoges da 1000 af hver Stamme, i alt 12.000 Mand, rustede til Kamp.

And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.

Og Moses sendte dem i kamp, 1000 af hver Stamme, og sammen med dem Pinehas, Præsten Eleazars Søn, der medbragte de hellige Redskaber og Alarmtrompeterne.

And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.

De drog så ud i kamp mod Midjaniterne, som HERREN havde pålagt Moses, og dræbte alle af Mandkøn;

And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.

og foruden de andre, der blev slået ihjel, dræbte de også Midjans Konger, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur og Reba, Midjans fem Konger; også Bileam, Beors Søn, dræbte de med Sværdet.

And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.

Og Israelitterne bortførte Midjaniternes kvinder og Børn som Krigsfanger, og alt deres Kvæg alle deres Hjorde og alt deres Gods tog de med som Bytte;

And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.

og alle deres Byer på de beboede Steder og alle deres Teltlejre stak de Ild på.

And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts.

Og alt det røvede og hele Byttet, både Mennesker og Dyr, tog de med sig,

And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.

og de bragte Fangerne, Byttet og det røvede til Moses og Præsten Eleazar og Israelitternes Menighed i Lejren på Moabs Sletter ved Jordan over for Jeriko.

And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.

Men Moses, Præsten Eleazar og alle Menighedens Øverste gik dem i Møde uden for Lejren,

And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.

og Moses blev vred på Hærens Førere, Tusindførerne og Hundredførerne, som kom tilbage fra Krigstoget.

And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?

Og Moses sagde til dem: "Har I ladet alle Kvinder i Live?

Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.

Det var jo dem, der efter Bileams Råd blev Årsag til, at Israelitterne var troløse mod HERREN i den Sag med Peor, så at Plagen ramte HERRENs Menighed.

Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.

Dræb derfor alle Drengebørn og alle kvinder, der har kendt Mand og haft Samleje med Mænd;

But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

men alle Piger, der ikke har haft Samleje med Mænd, skal I lade i Live og beholde,

And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.

Men selv skal I lejre eder uden for Lejren i syv Dage, enhver, som har dræbt nogen, og enhver, som har rørt ved en dræbt, og rense eder på den tredje og den syvende Dag, både I selv og eders Krigsfanger.

And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.

Og enhver Klædning, enhver Læder ting, alt, hvad der er lavet af Gedehår,og alle Træredskaber skal I rense!"

And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;

Og Præsten Eleazar sagde til Krigerne, der havde været med i Kampen: "Dette er det Lovbud, HERREN har givet Moses:

Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,

Kun Guld, Sølv, kobber, Jern, Tin og Bly,

Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water.

alt, hvad der kan tåle Ild, skal I lade gå gennem Ild, så bliver det rent; dog må det renses med Renselsesvand. Men alt, hvad der ikke kan tåle Ild, skal I lade gå gennem Vand.

And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.

Og eders klæder skal I tvætte på den syvende Dag, så bliver I rene og kan gå ind i Lejren."

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Og HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:

Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:

"Sammen med Præsten Eleazar og Overhovederne for Menighedens Fædrenehuse skal du opgøre det samlede Bytte, der er taget, både Mennesker og Dyr.

And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:

Derefter skal du dele Byttet i to lige store Dele mellem dem, der har taget Del i Krigen og været i Kamp, og hele den øvrige Menighed.

And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:

Derpå skal du udtage en Afgift til HERREN fra krigerne, der har været i Kamp, et Stykke af hver fem Hundrede, både af Mennesker, Hornkvæg, Æsler og Småkvæg;

Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the LORD.

det skal du tage af den Halvdel, som tilfalder dem, og give Præsten Eleazar det som Offerydelse til HERREN.

And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.

Men af den Halvdel, der tilfalder de andre Israelitter, skal du tage et Stykke af hver halvtredsindstyve, både af Mennesker, Hornkvæg, Æsler og Småkvæg, alt Kvæget, og give det til Leviterne, som tager Vare på, hvad der er at varetage ved HERRENs Bolig!"

And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.

Da gjorde Moses og Præsten Eleazar, som HERREN havde pålagt Moses.

And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,

Og det, de havde taget, det tiloversblevne af Byttet, som Krigsfolket havde gjort, udgjorde 675000 Stykker Småkvæg,

And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,

72 000 Stykker Hornkvæg,

And threescore and one thousand asses,

61 000 Æsler

And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.

og 32008 Mennesker, Kvinder, der ikke havde haft Samleje med Mænd.

And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:

Den Halvdel, der tilfaldt dem, der havde været i Kamp, udgjorde altså et Tal af 337500 Stykker Småkvæg,

And the LORD'S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.

hvoraf Afgiften til HERREN udgjorde 675 Stykker Småkvæg,

And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and twelve.

36000 Stykker Hornkvæg, hvoraf 72 i Afgift til HERREN,

And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and one.

30500 Æsler, hvoraf til i Afgift til HERREN,

And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute was thirty and two persons.

og 16000 Mennesker, hvoraf 32 i Afgift til HERREN.

And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD'S heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.

Og Moses overgav Afgiften, HERRENs Offerydelse, til Præsten Eleazar, som HERREN havde pålagt Moses.

And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,

Og af den Halvdel, som tilfaldt de andre Israelitter, og som Moses havde taget som deres del fra de Mænd, der havde været i Kamp

(Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,

denne Menighedens Halvdel udgjorde 337 500 Stykker Småkvæg,

And thirty and six thousand beeves,

36 000 Stykker Hornkvæg,

And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,

30 500 Æsler

And sixteen thousand persons;)

og 16000 Mennesker

Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.

af den Halvdel, som tilfaldt de andre Israelitter, udtog Moses et Stykke for hver halvtredsindstyve, både af Mennesker og Kvæg, og gav dem til Leviterne, som tog Vare på, hvad der var at varetage ved HERRENs Bolig, som HERREN havde pålagt Moses.

And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:

Da trådte Førerne for Hærens Afdelinger, Tusindførerne og Hundredførerne, hen til Moses

And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.

og sagde til ham: "Dine Trælle har holdt Mandtal over de krigere, der stod under os; og der manglede ikke en eneste af os;

We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.

derfor frembærer nu enhver af os som Offergave til HERREN, hvad han har taget af Guldsmykker, Armbånd, Spange, Fingerringe, Ørenringe og Halssmykker, for at skaffe os Soning for HERRENs Åsyn."

And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.

Moses og Præsten Eleazar modtog Guldet af dem, alskens med Kunst virkede Smykker;

And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.

og alt Offerydelsesguldet, som de ydede HERREN, udgjorde 16750 Sekel, hvilket Tusindførerne og Hundredførerne bragte som Gave.

(For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)

Krigerne havde taget Bytte hver for sig.

And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.

Så modtog Moses og Præsten Eleazar Guldet af Tusindførerne og Hundredførerne og bragte det ind i Åbenbaringsteltet, for at det skulde bringe Israelitterne i Minde for HERRENs Åsyn.
