¹Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before Yahweh, which he had not commanded them.

¹Men Arons Sønner Nadab og Abihu tog hver sin Pande, kom Ild i dem og lagde Røgelse derpå og frembar for HERRENs Åsyn fremmed Ild, som han ikke havde pålagt dem.

²And fire came forth from before Yahweh, and devoured them, and they died before Yahweh.

²Da for Ild ud fra HERRENs Åsyn og fortærede dem, så de døde for HERRENs Åsyn.

³Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what Yahweh spoke of, saying, ‘I will show myself holy to those who come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified.’” Aaron held his peace.

³Moses sagde da til Aron: "Det er det, HERREN talede om, da han sagde: Jeg viser min Hellighed på dem, der står mig nær, og min Herlighed for alt Folkets Øjne!" Og Aron tav.

⁴Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, “Draw near, carry your brothers from before the sanctuary out of the camp.”

⁴Da kaldte Moses Misjael og Elzafan, Arons Farbroder, Uzziels Sønner, til sig og sagde til dem: "Kom og bær eders Frænder bort fra Helligdommen uden for Lejren!"

⁵So they drew near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses had said.

⁵Og de kom og bar dem uden for Lejren i deres Kjortler, som Moses havde sagt.

⁶Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, “Don’t let the hair of your heads go loose, neither tear your clothes; that you don’t die, and that he not be angry with all the congregation: but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which Yahweh has kindled.

⁶Men Moses sagde til Aron og hans Sønner Eleazar og Itamar: "I må hverken lade eders Hår vokse frit eller sønderrive eders Klæder, ellers skal I dø og Vrede komme over hele Menigheden; lad eders Brødre, hele Israels Hus, begræde den Brand, HERREN har antændt;

⁷You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting, lest you die; for the anointing oil of Yahweh is on you.” They did according to the word of Moses.

⁷og vig ikke fra Åbenbaringsteltets indgang, ellers skal I dø, thi HERRENs Salveolie er på eder!" Og de gjorde som Moses sagde.

⁸Yahweh spoke to Aaron, saying,

⁸Og HERREN talede til Aron og sagde:

⁹“Drink no wine nor strong drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the Tent of Meeting, that you don’t die: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations:

⁹Vin og stærk Drik må hverken du eller dine Sønner drikke, når I gået ind i Åbenbaringsteltet, for at I ikke skal dø. Det skal være eder en evig gyldig Anordning fra Slægt til Slægt,

¹⁰and that you are to make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean;

¹⁰for at I kan gøre Skel mellem det hellige og det, der ikke er helligt, og mellem det urene og det rene,

¹¹and that you are to teach the children of Israel all the statutes which Yahweh has spoken to them by Moses.”

¹¹og for at I kan vejlede Israeliterne i alle de Love, HERREN har kundgjort dem ved Moses.

¹²Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons who were left, “Take the meal offering that remains of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, and eat it without yeast beside the altar; for it is most holy;

¹²Og Moses sagde til Aron og hans tilbageblevne Sønner Eleazar og Itamar: "Tag Afgrødeofferet, der er levnet fra HERRENs Ildoffer, og spis det usyret ved Siden af Alteret, thi det er højhelligt;

¹³and you shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your portion, and your sons’ portion, of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire: for so I am commanded.

¹³I skal spise det på et helligt Sted; det er jo din og dine Sønners retmæssige Del af HERRENs Ildofre; thi således er det mig påbudt.

¹⁴The waved breast and the heaved thigh you shall eat in a clean place, you, and your sons, and your daughters with you: for they are given as your portion, and your sons’ portion, out of the sacrifices of the peace offerings of the children of Israel.

¹⁴Og Svingningsbrystet og Offerydelseskøllen skal I spise på et rent Sted, du, dine Sønner og Døtre, thi de er givet dig tillige med dine Sønner som en retmæssig Del af Israeliternes Takofre;

¹⁵The heaved thigh and the waved breast they shall bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before Yahweh: and it shall be yours, and your sons’ with you, as a portion forever; as Yahweh has commanded.”

¹⁵Offerydelseskøllen og Svingningsbrystet skal man frembære sammen med de til Ildofre bestemte Fedtdele, for at Svingningen kan udføres for HERRENs Åsyn, og de skal tilfalde dig og dine Sønner tillige med dig som en evig gyldig Rettighed, således som HERREN har påbudt!"

¹⁶Moses diligently inquired about the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burned: and he was angry with Eleazar and with Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were left, saying,

¹⁶Og Moses spurgte efter Syndofferbukken, men se, den var opbrændt. Da blev han fortørnet på Eleazar og Itamar, Arons tilbageblevne Sønner, og sagde:

¹⁷“Why haven’t you eaten the sin offering in the place of the sanctuary, since it is most holy, and he has given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before Yahweh?

¹⁷"Hvorfor har I ikke spist Syndofferet på det hellige Sted? Det er jo dog højhelligt, og han har givet eder det. for at I skal borttage Menighedens Skyld og således skaffe dem Soning for HERRENs Åsyn.

¹⁸Behold, its blood was not brought into the inner part of the sanctuary: you certainly should have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.”

¹⁸Se, Blodet deraf er ikke blevet bragt ind i Helligdommens Indre, derfor havde det været eders Pligt at spise det på det hellige Sted, således som jeg har påbudt!"

¹⁹Aaron spoke to Moses, “Behold, this day they have offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before Yahweh; and such things as these have happened to me: and if I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been pleasing in the sight of Yahweh?”

¹⁹Men Aron svarede Moses: "Se, de har i Dag frembåret deres Syndoffer og Brændoffer for HERRENs Åsyn, og en sådan Tilskikkelse har ramt mig! Om jeg i Dag havde spist Syndofferkød, vilde HERREN da have billiget det?"

²⁰When Moses heard that, it was pleasing in his sight.

²⁰Da Mose's hørte dette, billigede han det.
