¹Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,

¹Og Herren talte til Moses i Sinai ørken i det annet år efterat de var gått ut av Egyptens land, i den første måned, og sa:

²“Moreover let the children of Israel keep the Passover in its appointed season.

²Israels barn skal holde påske på den fastsatte tid.

³On the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you shall keep it in its appointed season—according to all its statutes, and according to all its ordinances, you shall keep it.”

³Den fjortende dag i denne måned, mellem de to aftenstunder, skal I holde påske på den fastsatte tid. Efter alle lover og forskrifter som gjelder om den, skal I holde den.

⁴Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should keep the Passover.

⁴Da talte Moses til Israels barn og sa at de skulde holde påske.

⁵They kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did.

⁵Og de holdt påske i den første måned, på den fjortende dag i måneden, mellem de to aftenstunder, i Sinai ørken; aldeles som Herren hadde befalt Moses, således gjorde Israels barn.

⁶There were certain men, who were unclean because of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day, and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day.

⁶Men det var nogen menn som var blitt urene av et lik, så de ikke kunde holde påske den dag; disse menn trådte samme dag frem for Moses og Aron

⁷Those men said to him, “We are unclean because of the dead body of a man. Why are we kept back, that we may not offer the offering of Yahweh in its appointed season among the children of Israel?”

⁷og sa til ham: Vi er blitt urene av et lik; hvorfor skal det være oss nektet å bære frem Herrens offer på den fastsatte tid sammen med de andre Israels barn?

⁸Moses answered them, “Wait, that I may hear what Yahweh will command concerning you.”

⁸Da sa Moses til dem: Vent, så jeg kan få høre hvad Herren befaler om eder.

⁹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

⁹Og Herren talte til Moses og sa:

¹⁰“Say to the children of Israel, ‘If any man of you or of your generations is unclean by reason of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, he shall still keep the Passover to Yahweh.

¹⁰Tal til Israels barn og si: Om nogen blandt eder eller blandt eders efterkommere er blitt uren av et lik eller er på langreise, skal han allikevel holde påske for Herren;

¹¹In the second month, on the fourteenth day at evening they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

¹¹i den annen måned på den fjortende dag, mellem de to aftenstunder, skal de holde den; med usyret brød og bitre urter skal de ete påskelammet.

¹²They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone of it. According to all the statute of the Passover they shall keep it.

¹²De skal ikke levne noget av det til om morgenen og ikke bryte noget ben på det; de skal i ett og alt holde påsken efter loven som gjelder om den.

¹³But the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and fails to keep the Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people. Because he didn’t offer the offering of Yahweh in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.

¹³Men den som er ren og ikke er på reise og enda lar være å holde påske, han skal utryddes av sitt folk, fordi han ikke bar frem Herrens offer på den fastsatte tid; den mann skal lide for sin synd.

¹⁴“‘If a foreigner lives among you, and desires to keep the Passover to Yahweh; according to the statute of the Passover, and according to its ordinance, so shall he do. You shall have one statute, both for the foreigner, and for him who is born in the land.’”

¹⁴Og når en fremmed opholder sig hos eder og vil holde påske for Herren, så skal han holde den efter loven om påsken og efter forskriftene om den; der skal gjelde én lov for eder, både for den fremmede og for den innfødte i landet.

¹⁵On the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony: and at evening it was over the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.

¹⁵Den dag tabernaklet blev reist, dekket skyen tabernaklet, vidnesbyrdets telt; og om aftenen var der som et ildskjær over tabernaklet like til om morgenen.

¹⁶So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night.

¹⁶Således var det alltid: Skyen dekket det*, og om natten var der som et ildskjær. / {* om dagen.}

¹⁷Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel traveled; and in the place where the cloud remained, there the children of Israel encamped.

¹⁷Og hver gang skyen løftet sig fra teltet, brøt Israels barn straks op; og på det sted hvor skyen lot sig ned, der leiret Israels barn sig.

¹⁸At the commandment of Yahweh, the children of Israel traveled, and at the commandment of Yahweh they encamped. As long as the cloud remained on the tabernacle they remained encamped.

¹⁸Efter Herrens befaling brøt Israels barn op, og efter Herrens befaling leiret de sig; alle de dager skyen hvilte over tabernaklet, lå de i leir.

¹⁹When the cloud stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept Yahweh’s command, and didn’t travel.

¹⁹Når skyen blev over tabernaklet i mange dager, da rettet Israels barn sig efter det som Herren hadde sagt, og brøt ikke op.

²⁰Sometimes the cloud was a few days on the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of Yahweh they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of Yahweh they traveled.

²⁰Stundom hendte det at skyen var bare nogen få dager over tabernaklet; efter Herrens befaling lå de da i leir, og efter Herrens befaling brøt de op.

²¹Sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they traveled: or by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they traveled.

²¹Men stundom hendte det at skyen var der bare fra aften til morgen; når da skyen løftet sig om morgenen, brøt de op. Eller den var der en dag og en natt; når da skyen løftet sig, brøt de op.

²²Whether it was two days, or a month, or a year that the cloud stayed on the tabernacle, remaining on it, the children of Israel remained encamped, and didn’t travel; but when it was taken up, they traveled.

²²Eller den var der et par dager eller en måned eller enda lenger; når skyen drygde så lenge og blev liggende over tabernaklet, da lå Israels barn i leir og brøt ikke op, men når den løftet sig, brøt de op.

²³At the commandment of Yahweh they encamped, and at the commandment of Yahweh they traveled. They kept Yahweh’s command, at the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.

²³Efter Herrens befaling leiret de sig, og efter Herrens befaling brøt de op; de rettet sig efter det som Herren hadde sagt - efter det som Herren hadde befalt ved Moses.
