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.

“Then we turned [north] and went toward the Bashan region. Og, the king [of that area], and all his soldiers marched [south] to fight against us at Edrei [town].

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.

Yahweh said to me, ‘Do not be afraid of him, because I will enable your [army] to defeat [MTY] him and all his army and to capture all their land. Do to him what you did to Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who ruled in Heshbon [city].’

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.

“So Yahweh enabled us to defeat [IDM] King Og and all his army. We killed them all; we did not allow any of them to remain alive.

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.

There were 60 cities in that region near Argob, in King Og’s kingdom of Bashan. But we captured all of them

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

All those cities had high walls [around them] with gates and bars. We also captured many villages that did not have walls [around them].

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

We completely destroyed everything, just as we had done [in the area that] King Sihon ruled. We killed all the men, women, and children.

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

But from those cities we took for ourselves all the livestock and other valuable things.

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,

“So at that time we took from those two kings of the Amor people-group all the land east of the Jordan [River], from the Arnon [River] gorge [in the south] to Hermon Mountain [in the north].”

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

(That mountain is called Sirion by the people of Sidon [city] and is called Senir by the Amor people-group.)

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.

“We captured all the towns on the (plateau/high level land), and all the Gilead [region], and all the Bashan [region] as far east as Edrei and Salecah towns, which also belonged to Og’s kingdom.”

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.

(Og was the last king who was a descendant of the Repha giants. His bed was made of iron. It was almost (14 feet/4 meters) long and (6 feet/2 meters) wide. It is still [RHQ] in Rabbah [city] in the Ammon area.)

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.

“From the land that we captured at that time, I allotted to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the land [north] of Aroer [town] near the Arnon [River], and some of the hilly area of the Gilead [region], along with the nearby towns.

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.

The other part of the Gilead [region] and all of the Bashan [region], which was the Argob [region] that King Og had ruled, I allotted to half of the tribe of Manasseh.” (The entire Bashan [region] is called the land of the Repha 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, from the tribe of Manasseh, conquered all the Bashan area as far [north] as the border of the Geshur and Maacah territories. He gave his own name to the villages there, and they are still called the villages of Jair.

15 Saa gav jeg Makir Gilead.

The [northern part of the] Gilead [region] I allotted to the Machir [clan, who are descendants of the tribe of Manasseh].

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,

I allotted to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the southern part of the Gilead [region, extending south] to the Arnon [River]. The middle of the river is the [southern] boundary. The [northern] boundary is the Jabbok River, which is part of the border of the Ammon area.

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.

[To the west their territory extended] to the Jordan [River] Valley, from Galilee Lake [in the north] to the Dead Sea [in the south] and to the slopes of Pisgah [Mountain] to 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.

At that time, I told you three tribes, ‘Yahweh our God is giving you this land [east of the Jordan River], for you to occupy/capture. So now, give your soldiers weapons, and send them [across the Jordan River] ahead of the men from the other Israeli tribes [to help them to conquer/capture the land that has been allotted to them].

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,

But your wives and children and your very numerous cattle must stay in the towns that I have allotted 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.

[Your men must help your fellow Israelis] until Yahweh enables them to live there peacefully after they capture all the land that Yahweh our God is giving to them on the west side of the Jordan [River], just like he did for you [here on the east side of the river]. After that, you all may return to this land that 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.

And I told Joshua, ‘You [SYN] have seen everything that Yahweh our God did to those two kings, [Sihon and Og]. He will do the same thing to the people [who are now] in the land that you will be entering.

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

Do not be afraid of those people, because Yahweh our God is the one who will fight for you all.’”

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

“At that time, I earnestly prayed, 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?

‘Yahweh our Lord, you have merely begun to show me that you are very great and to show me the powerful things that you can do [MTY]. There is certainly no [RHQ] god in heaven or on earth who can do the powerful things/deeds that you [have done].

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

So please allow me to cross the Jordan [River] and to see the good/fertile land on the west side, the beautiful hilly area and [the mountains in] 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.

But Yahweh was angry with me because of [what] your ancestors [had made me do], so he would not pay attention to me. Instead, he said, ‘That is enough [talk from you]! Do not talk to me about that again!

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.

Climb up to the top of Pisgah [Mountain] and look toward the west and to the east, toward the north and to the south. Look at [MTY] it all carefully, because you will not cross the Jordan [River to see the land from there].

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.

But tell Joshua what he must do and encourage him to be strong, because he is the one who will lead the people [across the river in order that they can] occupy/capture the land that you will see [from the top of the mountain].’

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

So we remained in the [Jordan River] Valley close to Beth-Peor [town].”
