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, that, when Yabin the king of Chazor heard these things, he sent to Yobab the 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 at the north, on the mountains, and in the plains, south of Kinneroth, and in the lowlands, and in the district 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 Canaanites on the east and on the west, and to the Emorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites in the mountains, and to the Hivites under Chermon 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 camps with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea-shore in multitude, and with very many horses and chariots.

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 assembled themselves together, and they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight against 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 the Lord said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them; for tomorrow about this time will I give all of them up slain before Israel: their horses shalt thou hamstring and their chariots shalt thou burn with fire.

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

And Joshua and all the people of war with him came upon them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they 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 the Lord delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and pursued them unto great Zidon, and unto Missrephoth-mayim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none that escaped.

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 the Lord had said unto him: their horses he hamstringed and their chariots he burnt 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 at that time turned back, and captured Chazor, and its kings he smote with the sword; for Chazor aforetimes was the head of all these 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, and devoted them; there was not left any one having breath; and Chazor he burnt 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 these kings, and all their kings, did Joshua capture, and he smote them with the edge of the sword, and he devoted them, as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded.

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

But as for the cities that had been left standing in their strength, these did Israel not burn: save Chazor only 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, did the children of Israel take as booty unto themselves; but all the men they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them: they left not any one having breath.

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 the Lord had commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua: he left nothing undone of all that the Lord had 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,

And Joshua took all that land, the mountain, and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowlands, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and its lowlands;

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 the bald mountain that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Chermon; and all their kings he captured, and smote them, and slew them.

18 Josva førte mange Aar Krig imod alle disse Konger.

A long time did Joshua make war with all these 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 Gib'on: the whole they took by war.

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 of the Lord it was to harden their heart, that they should come against Israel in battle, in order to destroy them utterly, that they might obtain no favor: but in order that he might exterminate them, as the Lord had 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 mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from 'Anab, and from the whole mountain of Judah, and from the whole mountain of Israel: with their cities did Joshua destroy them utterly.

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 Gazzah, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained some.

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.

And Joshua' took the whole land, all just as the Lord had spoken unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel, according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.
