Josua 11

1 Og det skete, der Jabin, Kongen af Hazor, hørte det, da sendte han til Jobab, Kongen af Madon, og til Kongen af Simron og til Kongen af Aksaf,

And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor heard thereof, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,

2 og til de Konger, som vare mod Norden paa Bjergene og paa den slette Mark, Sønden for Kinneroths Hav og i Lavlandet og paa Højderne ved Dor ud mod Havet,

and to the kings that were on the north, in the hill-country, and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor on the west,

3 til Kananiterne mod Østen og mod Vesten og Amoriterne og Hethiterne og Feresiterne og Jebusiterne paa Bjergene og Heviterne neden for Hermon i Mizpa Land.

to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill-country, and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.

4 Og de droge ud, de og alle deres Lejre med dem, mangfoldigt Folk som Sand, der er paa Havbredden, i Mangfoldighed, og saare mange Heste og Vogne.

And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea-shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.

5 Og alle disse Konger samledes, og de kom, og de lejrede sig tilsammen ved Søen Merom, at stride imod Israel.

And all these kings met together; and they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.

6 Og Herren sagde til Josva: Frygt ikke for deres Ansigt, thi i Morgen ved denne Tid vil jeg give dem alle sammen ihjelslagne for Israels Ansigt; du skal ødelægge deres Heste og opbrænde deres Vogne med Ild.

And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them; for to-morrow at this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hock their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.

7 Og Josva og alt Krigsfolket med ham kom over dem hasteligen ved Søen Merom, og de overfaldt dem.

So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell upon them.

8 Og Herren gav dem i Israels Haand, og de sloge dem og forfulgte dem indtil det store Zidon og indtil de hede Kilder og indtil Mizpas Dal mod Østen; og de sloge dem, indtil han ikke lod dem een blive tilovers til at undkomme.

And Jehovah delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they smote them, and chased them unto great Sidon, and unto Misrephoth-maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.

9 Da gjorde Josva ved dem, saaledes som Herren havde sagt til ham; han ødelagde deres Heste og opbrændte deres Vogne med Ild.

And Joshua did unto them as Jehovah bade him: he hocked their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.

10 Og Josva vendte tilbage paa den samme Tid og indtog Hazor og slog dens Konge ihjel med Sværd; thi Hazor, den var tilforn Hovedstaden for alle disse Kongeriger.

And Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms.

11 Og de sloge alle Personer, som vare i den, med skarpe Sværd, saa de ødelagde den; der blev intet tilovers, som havde Aande; og han opbrændte Hazor med Ild.

And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them; there was none left that breathed: and he burnt Hazor with fire.

12 Og Josva tog alle disse Kongers Stæder med alle deres Konger, og han slog dem med skarpe Sværd, saa at han ødelagde dem, saaledes som Mose, Herrens Tjener, havde befalet.

And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and he smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; as Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded.

13 Dog opbrændte Israel slet ingen Stæder, som staa paa deres Høje; ikkun Hazor alene opbrændte Josva.

But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.

14 Og alt Byttet af disse Stæder og Kvæget røvede Israels Børn for sig; kun Menneskene sloge de med skarpe Sværd, indtil de havde ødelagt dem, de lode intet blive tilovers, som havde Aande.

And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any that breathed.

15 Lige som Herren bød Mose sin Tjener, saa bød Mose Josva, og saa gjorde Josva, han undlod ikke noget af alt det, som Herren havde befalet Mose.

As Jehovah commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua: and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that Jehovah commanded Moses.

16 Og Josva indtog hele dette Land, Bjerglandet og Sydlandet og hele Gosen Land og Lavlandet og den slette Mark og Israels Bjerge med Lavlandet dertil,

So Joshua took all that land, the hill-country, and all the South, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland, and the Arabah, and the hill-country of Israel, and the lowland of the same;

17 fra det slette Bjerg, som strækker sig op mod Sejr, og indtil Baal-Gad ved Libanons Dal neden for det Bjerg Hermon; og han tog alle deres Konger og slog dem og dræbte dem.

from mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and put them to death.

18 Josva førte mange Aar Krig imod alle disse Konger.

Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.

19 Der var ikke en Stad, som gjorde Fred med Israels Børn, uden Heviterne, som boede i Gibeon; de indtoge alt med Krig.

There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: they took all in battle.

20 Thi det skete af Herren, at de forhærdede deres Hjerte, saa de mødte Israel med Krig, for at han skulde ødelægge dem, saa at der ikke skulde bevises dem Naade, men at han skulde udrydde dem, som Herren bød Mose.

For it was of Jehovah to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

21 Og Josva kom paa den samme Tid og udryddede Anakiterne af Bjerget, af Hebron, af Debir, af Anab og af alle Judas Bjerge og af alle Israels Bjerge; Josva ødelagde dem med deres Stæder.

And Joshua came at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill-country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill-country of Judah, and from all the hill-country of Israel: Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.

22 Der blev ingen tilovers af Anakiterne i Israels Børns Land, ikkun i Gaza, i Gath og Asdod bleve de tilovers.

There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.

23 Og Josva indtog hele Landet efter alt det, som Herren havde talet til Mose, og Josva gav Israel det til Arv efter deres Afdelinger i deres Stammer; og Landet hvilede fra Krig.

So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Jehovah spake unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land had rest from war.
