5 Mosebog 2
1 Da vendte vi os og rejste til Ørken ad Vejen til det røde Hav, som Herren havde talet til mig, og vi droge omkring Seirs Bjerg mange Aar.
Then we turned and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Sea of Reeds, as Yahweh had spoken to me; we went around Mount Seir for many days.
2 Og Herren talede til mig og sagde:
Yahweh spoke to me, saying,
3 I have længe nok draget omkring dette Bjerg, vender eder imod Norden,
'You have gone around this mountain long enough; turn northward.
4 og byd Folket og sig: I drage nu igennem eders Brødres, Esaus Børns, Landemærke, de som bo i Seir, og de skulle frygte for eder; men I skulle tage eder vel i Vare.
Command the people, saying, “You are to pass through the border of your brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir; they will be afraid of you. Therefore be careful
5 I skulle ikke befatte eder med dem i Krig; thi jeg vil ikke give eder noget af deres Land, end ikke saa meget, som en Fodsaal kan træde paa, fordi jeg har givet Esau Seirs Bjerg til Ejendom.
not to fight with them, for I will not give you any of their land, no, not even enough for the sole of a foot to step on; for I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.
6 I skulle købe Spise af dem for Penge og æde, og I skulle ogsaa købe Vand af dem for Penge og drikke;
You will purchase food from them for money, so that you may eat; you will also buy water from them for money, so that you may drink.
7 thi Herren din Gud har velsignet dig i al din Haands Gerning; han kender dine Gange igennem denne store Ørk; i fyrretyve Aar har Herren din Gud været med dig; dig fattedes ingen Ting.
For Yahweh your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; he has known your walking through this great wilderness. For these forty years Yahweh your God has been with you, and you have lacked nothing.”'
8 Der vi droge fra vore Brødre Esaus Børn, som boede i Seir, paa Vejen til den slette Mark, fra Elath og fra Eziongeber, da vendte vi os og gik igennem ad Vejen til Moabiternes Ørk.
So we passed by our brothers, the descendants of Esau who live in Seir, away from the Arabah road, from Elath and from Ezion Geber. Then we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
9 Da sagde Herren til mig: Du skal ikke trænge Moabiterne og ikke befatte dig med dem i Krig; thi jeg vil intet give dig af deres Land til Ejendom; thi jeg har givet Lots Børn Ar til Ejendom.
Yahweh said to me, 'Do not trouble Moab, and do not fight with them in battle. For I will not give you his land for your own possession, because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot, for their possession.'
10 Emiterne boede fordum derudi; det var et stort og stærkt og højt Folk, som Anakiterne.
(The Emites lived there previously, a people as great, as many, and as tall as the Anakim;
11 De holdtes og for Kæmper ligesom Anakiterne, og Moabiterne kaldte dem Emiter.
these also are considered to be the Rephaim, like the Anakim; but the Moabites call them the Emim.
12 Og Horiterne boede fordum i Seir, og Esaus Børn fordreve dem og ødelagde dem for sig, og de toge Bolig i deres Sted; ligesom Israel gør ved sit Ejendoms Land, hvilket Herren har givet dem.
The Horites also lived in Seir previously, but the descendants of Esau succeeded them. They destroyed them from before them and lived in their place, like Israel did to the land of his possession that Yahweh gave to them.)
13 Gører eder nu rede og drager over Sereds Bæk; og vi droge over Sereds Bæk.
“'Now rise up and go over the brook Zered.' So we went over the brook Zered.
14 Men de Dage, vi have vandret fra Kades-Barnea, indtil vi kom over Bækken Sered, vare otte og tredive Aar, indtil den hele Slægt af Krigsmænd ganske var uddød af Lejren, saaledes som Herren havde svoret dem.
Now the days from when we came from Kadesh Barnea until we crossed the brook Zered, were thirty-eight years. It was by that time that all that generation of the men fit for fighting were gone from the people, as Yahweh had sworn to them.
15 Tilmed var og Herrens Haand imod dem til at udrydde dem af Lejren, indtil det fik Ende med dem.
Moreover, the hand of Yahweh was against that generation in order to destroy them from the people until they were gone.
16 Og det skete, der det havde faaet Ende med alle Krigsmændene, saa de vare uddøde af Folkets Midte,
So it happened, when all the men fit for fighting were dead and gone from among the people,
17 da talede Herren til mig og sagde:
that Yahweh spoke to me, saying,
18 Du drager i Dag igennem Moabiternes Landemærke ved Ar,
'You are today to pass over Ar, the border of Moab.
19 og du kommer nær frem for Ammons Børn; du skal ikke trænge dem, ej heller befatte dig med dem i Krig; thi jeg vil intet give dig af Ammons Børns Land til Ejendom; thi jeg har givet Lots Børn det til Ejendom.
When you come near opposite the people of Ammon, do not trouble them or fight them; for I will not give you any of the land of the people of Ammon as a possession; because I have given it to the descendants of Lot as a possession.'”
20 Ogsaa det er blevet holdt for et Kæmpeland, derudi boede fordum Kæmper, og Ammoniterne kaldte dem Samsummiter.
(That also is considered to be a land of the Rephaim. The Rephaim lived there previously—but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim—
21 Det var et stort og stærkt og højt Folk som Anakiterne, men Herren ødelagde dem for deres Ansigt, saa de fordreve dem og boede i deres Sted;
a people as great, as many, and as tall as the Anakim. But Yahweh destroyed them before the Ammonites, and they succeeded them and lived in their place.
22 ligesom han gjorde for Esaus Børn, som bo i Seir, for hvis Ansigt han ødelagde Horiterne, saa de fordreve dem og boede i deres Sted indtil denne Dag.
This Yahweh also did for the people of Esau, who live in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them, and the descendants of Esau succeeded them and have lived in their place even until today.
23 Og Aviterne, som boede i Landsbyerne indtil Gaza, dem ødelagde Kafthoriterne, som vare komne fra Kafthor og boede i deres Sted.
As for the Avvites who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came from Caphtor, destroyed them and settled in their place.)
24 Gører eder rede, rejser frem og gaar over Bækken Arnon; se, jeg har givet Sihon, den amoritiske Konge af Hesbon, og hans Land i dine Hænder; begynd, indtag det og giv dig i Kamp med ham!
“'Now rise up, go on your journey, and pass over the Valley of the Arnon; look, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to possess it, and fight with him in battle.
25 Jeg vil begynde paa denne Dag at lægge Rædsel og Frygt for dig over Folkenes Ansigt under den ganske Himmel, at de, som høre dit Rygte, skulle bæve og blive bange for dit Ansigt.
Today I will begin to put the fear and terror of you on the peoples that are under the whole sky; they will hear news about you and will tremble and be in anguish because of you.'
26 Da sendte jeg Bud fra den Ørk Kedemoth til Sihon, Kongen af Hesbon, med fredelige Ord og lod sige:
I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon, king of Heshbon, with words of peace, saying,
27 Jeg vil drage igennem dit Land, jeg vil blot gaa paa Vejen, jeg vil ikke vige til den højre eller venstre Side.
'Let me pass through your land; I will go along the highway; I will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left.
28 Spise skal du sælge mig for Penge, at jeg maa æde, og Vand skal du give mig for Penge, at jeg maa drikke; jeg vil ikkun gaa igennem til Fods;
You will sell me food for money, so that I may eat; give me water for money, so that I may drink; only let me pass through on my feet;
29 ligesom Esaus Børn gjorde imod mig, de som bo i Seir, og Moabiterne, som bo i Ar; indtil jeg kommer over Jordanen til det Land, som Herren vor Gud giver os.
as the descendants of Esau who live in Seir, and as the Moabites who live in Ar, did for me; until I pass over the Jordan into the land that Yahweh our God is giving us.'
30 Men Sihon, Kongen i Hesbon, vilde ikke lade os drage igennem hos sig; thi Herren din Gud forhærdede hans Aand og gjorde hans Hjerte stift, for at give ham i dine Hænder, som man ser paa denne Dag.
But Sihon, king of Heshbon, would not let us pass by him; for Yahweh your God had hardened his mind and made his heart obstinate, that he might defeat him by your might, which he has now done today.
31 Og Herren sagde til mig: Se, jeg har begyndt at overgive Sihon og hans Land til dig; begynd, indtag hans Land til Eje!
Yahweh said to me, 'Look, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before you; begin to possess it, in order that you may inherit his land.'
32 Og Sihon drog ud imod os, han og alt hans Folk, til Strid ved Jaza.
Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
33 Men Herren vor Gud overgav ham til os, og vi sloge ham og hans Børn og alt hans Folk.
Yahweh our God gave him over to us and we defeated him and his sons and all his people.
34 Og vi indtoge alle hans Stæder paa samme Tid, og vi bandlyste hver Stad, Mænd og Kvinder og smaa Børn; vi lode ingen undkommen blive tilovers,
We took all his cities at that time and completely destroyed every city—men and the women and the little ones; we left no survivor.
35 kun Fæet røvede vi for os og Byttet af Stæderne, som vi havde indtaget.
Only the cattle we took as spoils for ourselves, along with the spoil of the cities that we had taken.
36 Fra Aroer, som ligger ved Bredden af Arnons Bæk, og fra den Stad, som er i Dalen, og indtil Gilead, var der ikke en Stad, som var os for høj; Herren vor Gud overgav dem alle til os.
From Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and from the city that is in the valley, all the way to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us. Yahweh our God gave them into our hands.
37 Kun kom du ikke nær til Ammons Børns Land, til hele den Side ved Bækken Jabok og til Stæderne paa Bjerget, og alt det, som Herren vor Gud har budet os om.
It was only to the land of the descendants of Ammon that you did not go, as well as all the side of the Jabbok River, and the cities of the hill country—wherever Yahweh our God had forbidden us to go.
