5 Mosebog 3

1 Og vi vendte os og droge op ad Vejen til Basan. Saa drog Og, Kongen af Basan, ud imod os, han og alt hans Folk til Strid ved Edrei.

“And so, having turned back, we ascended by the way of Bashan. And Og, the king of Bashan, went forth with his people to meet us in warfare at Edrei.

2 Og Herren sagde til mig: Frygt ikke for ham, thi jeg har givet ham og alt hans Folk og hans Land i din Haand; og du skal gøre ved ham, ligesom du gjorde ved Sihon, Amoriternes Konge, som boede i Hesbon.

And the Lord said to me: ‘You should not fear him. For he has been delivered into your hand, with all his people as well as his land. And you shall do to him just as you have done to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.’

3 Saa gav Herren vor Gud ogsaa Kong Og af Basan og alt hans Folk i vor Haand, og vi sloge ham, indtil at ingen undkommen blev tilovers for ham.

Therefore, the Lord our God delivered into our hands, now Og, the king of Bashan, and all his people. And we struck them down unto utter annihilation,

4 Og vi indtoge alle hans Stæder paa samme Tid; der var ikke en Stad, som vi jo toge fra dem: Tresindstyve Stæder, hele Egnen Argob, som var Ogs Rige i Basan.

laying waste to all his cities at one time. There was not a village which escaped from us: sixty cities, the entire region of Argob, the kingdom of Og, in Bashan.

5 Alle disse Stæder vare faste med høje Mure, dobbelte Porte og Stænger; desuden saare mange Stæder, som vare ubefæstede Byer.

All the cities were fortified with very high walls, and with gates and bars, in addition to innumerable villages which had no walls.

6 Og vi bandlyste dem, ligesom vi gjorde ved Sihon, Kongen af Hesbon; vi bandlyste alle Stæderne, Mænd, Kvinder og smaa Børn.

And we wiped them out, just as we had done to Sihon, the king of Heshbon, destroying every city, and its men, as well as women and children.

7 Men alt Kvæget og Byttet, som var i Stæderne, røvede vi for os selv.

But the cattle and the spoils of the cities, we plundered.

8 Saa toge vi paa den samme Tid Landet af de to amoritiske Kongers Haand, det som var paa denne Side Jordanen, fra Bækken Arnon indtil Bjerget Hermon,

And at that time, we took the land from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites, who were across the Jordan: from the torrent Arnon as far as Mount Hermon,

9 — Sidonierne kalde Hermon Sirjon; men Amoriterne kalde det Senir, —

which the Sidonians call Sirion, and the Amorites call Senir,

10 alle Stæderne paa det jævne Land og hele Gilead og hele Basan, indtil Salka og Edrei, som vare Stæder i Ogs Rige i Basan.

all the cities that are situated in the plain, and the entire land of Gilead and Bashan, all the way to Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

11 Thi Kong Og af Basan var ene tilbage af de overblevne Kæmper; se, hans Seng, en Jernseng, er den ikke i Ammons Børns Rabba? ni Alen er dens Længde, og fire Alen er dens Bredde, efter en Mands Arm.

For only Og, the king of Bashan, was left behind out of the race of the giants. His bed of iron is on display, (it is in Rabbah, among the sons of Ammon) being nine cubits in length, and four in width, according to the measure of the cubit of a man’s hand.

12 Og vi indtoge dette Land paa den samme Tid; fra Aroer, som ligger ved Arnons Bæk, og Halvdelen af Gileads Bjerg med dets Stæder gav jeg Rubeniterne og Gaditerne.

And we possessed the land, at that time, from Aroer, which is above the bank of the torrent Arnon, as far as the middle of Mount Gilead. And I gave its cities to Ruben and Gad.

13 Og det øvrige af Gilead og hele Basan, Ogs Rige, gav jeg Manasse halve Stamme; hele Egnen Argob, hele Basan, dette er kaldet Kæmpelandet.

Then I delivered the remaining part of Gilead, and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, which is the entire region of Argob, to one half of the tribe of Manasseh. And all of Bashan is called the land of the giants.

14 Jair, Manasse Søn, indtog hele Egnen Argob, indtil Gesuriternes og Maakathiternes Landemærke; og han kaldte det, nemlig Basan, efter sit Navn Havoth-Jair indtil denne Dag.

Jair, the son of Manasseh, possessed all the region of Argob, as far as the borders of Geshur and Maacath. And he called Bashan by his own name, Havvoth Jair, that is, the villages of Jair, even to the present day.

15 Saa gav jeg Makir Gilead.

Likewise, to Machir, I gave Gilead.

16 Og jeg gav Rubeniterne og Gaditerne fra Gilead og indtil Arnons Bæk, midt i Dalen, som blev Landemærke, og indtil Jaboks Bæk, som er Ammons Børns Landemærke,

And to the tribes of Ruben and Gad, I gave from the land of Gilead as far as the torrent Arnon, one half of the torrent and its confines, even to the torrent Jabbok, which is along the border of the sons of Ammon,

17 og den slette Mark og Jordanen, som blev Landemærke, fra Kinnereth og indtil Havet ved den slette Mark, nemlig Salthavet, neden for Foden af Pisga, imod Østen.

and the plain of the wilderness, as well as the Jordan, and the borders of Chinnereth, all the way to the sea of the desert, which is very salty, to the base of Mount Pisgah toward the east.

18 Og jeg bød eder paa samme Tid og sagde: Herren eders Gud har givet eder dette Land at eje det; I skulle drage bevæbnede over for eders Brødres, Israels Børns Ansigt, alle I, som ere kampdygtige.

And I instructed you at that time, saying: ‘The Lord your God gives to you this land as an inheritance. Having armed yourselves, go before your brothers, the sons of Israel, all you strong men.

19 Ikkun eders Hustruer og eders smaa Børn og eders Kvæg, (jeg ved, at I have meget Kvæg), de maa blive i eders Stæder, som jeg har givet eder,

Leave behind your wives and little ones, as well as the cattle. For I know that you have many cattle, and they should remain in the cities which I have delivered to you,

20 indtil Herren skaffer eders Brødre Rolighed ligesom eder, og de ogsaa have indtaget det Land, som Herren eders Gud giver dem paa hin Side Jordanen; saa skulle I vende tilbage hver til sin Ejendom, som jeg har givet eder.

until the Lord provides rest to your brothers, just as he has provided for you. And they, too, shall possess the land, which he will give to them beyond the Jordan. Then each one shall return to his possession, which I have allotted to you.’

21 Og jeg befalede Josva paa den samme Tid og sagde: Dine Øjne have set alt det, som Herren eders Gud har gjort ved disse to Konger; saaledes skal Herren gøre ved alle de Riger, som du drager over til.

Likewise, I instructed Joshua at that time, saying: ‘Your eyes have seen what the Lord your God has done to these two kings. So also will he do to all the kingdoms through which you shall pass.

22 Frygter ikke for dem; thi Herren eders Gud, han er den, som strider for eder.

You should not fear them. For the Lord your God will fight on your behalf.’

23 Og jeg bad Herren om Naade paa den samme Tid og sagde:

And I beseeched the Lord at that time, saying:

24 Herre, Herre! du har begyndt at lade din Tjener se din Storhed og din stærke Haand; thi hvo er Gud i Himmelen og paa Jorden, som kan gøre efter dine Gerninger og efter dit Storværk?

‘Lord God, you have begun to reveal your greatness and your very strong hand to your servant. For there is no other god, either in heaven or on earth, who is able to accomplish your works, or to be compared to your strength.

25 Kære, lad mig fare over og lad mig se det gode Land, som er paa hin Side Jordanen, dette gode Bjerg og Libanon.

Therefore, I will cross over, and I will view this excellent land beyond the Jordan, and this singular mountain, and Lebanon.’

26 Men Herren var bleven fortørnet paa mig for eders Skyld og vilde ikke høre mig; men Herren sagde til mig: Lad det være dig nok, bliv ikke ved at tale til mig ydermere om denne Sag.

And the Lord became angry with me because of you, and he would not heed me. But he said to me: ‘It is enough for you. You shall no longer speak to me at all about this matter.

27 Gak op paa Pisgas Top, og opløft dine Øjne mod Vesten og mod Norden og mod Sønden og mod Østen, og se det med dine Øjne; thi du skal ikke gaa over denne Jordan.

Ascend to the summit of Pisgah, and look around with your eyes to the west, and to the north, and to the south, and to the east, and behold it. For you shall not cross this Jordan.

28 Og byd Josva, og gør ham frimodig og styrk ham; thi han skal gaa over for dette Folks Ansigt, og han skal dele dem Landet, hvilket du skal se, til Arv.

Instruct Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him. For he shall go before this people, and he shall distribute to them the land that you will see.’

29 Og vi bleve i Dalen over for Beth-Peor.

And we remained in the valley, opposite the shrine of Peor.”
