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,
When Jabin, king of Hazor, heard this, he sent a message to Jobab, king of Madon, to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Akshaph.
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,
He also sent the message to the kings who were in the northern hill country, in the Jordan River valley south of Kinnereth, in the lowlands, and in Naphoth Dor to 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.
He also sent a message to the Canaanites to the east and west, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites in the hill country, and the Hivites by Mount 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.
All their armies came out with them, a great number of soldiers, in number like the sand on the seashore. They had a great number of horses and chariots.
5 Og alle disse Konger samledes, og de kom, og de lejrede sig tilsammen ved Søen Merom, at stride imod Israel.
All these kings met at the appointed time, and they camped at the waters of Merom to wage war 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.
Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid in their presence, because tomorrow at this time I am giving them all to Israel as dead men. You will hamstring their horses, and you will burn their chariots.”
7 Og Josva og alt Krigsfolket med ham kom over dem hasteligen ved Søen Merom, og de overfaldt dem.
Joshua and all the men of war came. They arrived suddenly at the waters of Merom, and attacked the enemy.
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.
Yahweh gave the enemy into the hand of Israel, and they struck them and pursued them to Sidon, Misrephoth Maim, and to the Valley of Mizpah to the east. They struck them until not even one survivor of them was left.
9 Da gjorde Josva ved dem, saaledes som Herren havde sagt til ham; han ødelagde deres Heste og opbrændte deres Vogne med Ild.
Joshua did to them just as Yahweh told him. He hamstrung the horses and burned the chariots.
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.
Joshua turned back at that time and captured Hazor. He struck its king with the sword. (Hazor had been 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.
They struck with the sword every living creature that was there, and he set them apart to be destroyed, so there was not any living creature left alive. Then he burned Hazor.
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.
Joshua captured all the cities of these kings. He also captured all their kings and struck them with the edge of the sword. He completely destroyed them with the edge of the sword, just as Moses the servant of Yahweh had commanded.
13 Dog opbrændte Israel slet ingen Stæder, som staa paa deres Høje; ikkun Hazor alene opbrændte Josva.
Israel did not burn any of the cities built on mounds, except Hazor. It alone Joshua burned.
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.
The army of Israel took all the plunder from these cities along with the livestock for themselves. They killed every human being with the edge of the sword until all were dead. They left alive no creature 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.
Just as Yahweh had commanded his servant Moses, in the same way, Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did it. He left nothing undone of all that Yahweh commanded Moses to do.
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,
Joshua took all that land, the hill country, all the Negev, all the land of Goshen, the foothills, the Jordan River valley, the hill country of Israel, and the 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 Mount Halak near Edom, and going north as far as Baal Gad in the valley near Lebanon below Mount Hermon, he captured all their kings and killed them.
18 Josva førte mange Aar Krig imod alle disse Konger.
Joshua waged war for a long time with all the kings.
19 Der var ikke en Stad, som gjorde Fred med Israels Børn, uden Heviterne, som boede i Gibeon; de indtoge alt med Krig.
Not one city made peace with the army of Israel except the Hivites who lived in Gibeon. Israel captured all the rest of the cities 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 Yahweh who hardened their hearts so they would wage war against Israel, so that he might completely destroy them without mercy, just as he had instructed 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.
Then Joshua came at that time and he destroyed the Anakim. He did this in the hill country, at Hebron, Debir, Anab, and in all the hill country of Judah, and in all the hill country of Israel. Joshua completely destroyed them and their cities.
22 Der blev ingen tilovers af Anakiterne i Israels Børns Land, ikkun i Gaza, i Gath og Asdod bleve de tilovers.
None of the Anakim were left in the land of Israel except at Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod.
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 captured the whole land, just as Yahweh said to Moses. Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel, assigned to each of their tribes. Then the land had rest from the wars.
