Josua 13

1 Og Josva var gammel, han var kommen til Aars, og Herren sagde til ham: Du er gammel, du er kommen til Aars, og der er saare meget af Landet blevet tilovers at indtage.

Joshua was old and advanced in age, and the Lord said to him: “You have grown old, and are aged, and a very wide land remains, which has not yet been divided by lot,

2 Dette er Landet, som er blevet tilovers: Alle Filisternes Landskaber og alle Gesuriter:

specifically, all of Galilee, Philistia, and all of Geshur;

3 Fra Sihon, som flyder foran Ægypten og indtil Ekrons Landemærke mod Norden, som regnes til Kananiterne; de fem Filisters Fyrster: Den Gaziter og den Asdoditer, den Askloniter, den Gathiter og den Ekroniter, og Aviterne;

from the muddy river, which irrigates Egypt, as far as the border of Ekron toward the north, the land of Canaan, which is divided among the rulers of Philistia: the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gathites, and the Ekronites;

4 mod Sønden alt Kananiternes Land og Meara, som hører Zidonierne til, indtil Afek, indtil Amoriternes Landemærke;

truly, to the south are the Hivites, all the land of Canaan, and Mearah of the Sidonians, as far as Aphek and the borders of the Amorite

5 og Gibliternes Land og det hele Libanon mod Solens Opgang fra Baal-Gad neden for Hermons Bjerg, indtil man kommer til Hamath;

and his confines; also, the region of Lebanon toward the east, from Baalgad, under mount Hermon, until you enter into Hamath;

6 alle de, som bo paa Bjergene, fra Libanon indtil de hede Kilder, alle Zidonier; jeg vil fordrive dem fra Israels Børns Ansigt; lad det ikkun falde Israel til Arv, som jeg befalede dig.

all who live in the mountains from Lebanon, as far as the waters of Misrephoth, and all the Sidonians. I am the One who will wipe them out, before the face of the sons of Israel. Therefore, let their land become a part of the inheritance of Israel, just as I have instructed you.

7 Saa del nu dette Land til Arv iblandt de ni Stammer og den halve Del af Manasse Stamme;

And now, divide the land as a possession to the nine tribes, and to the one half tribe of Manasseh.”

8 med hvem Rubeniterne og Gaditerne have taget deres Arv, som Mose gav dem paa hin Side Jordanen mod Østen, ligesom Mose, Herrens Tjener, gav dem den,

With them, Reuben and Gad have possessed the land, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, delivered to them beyond the river Jordan, on the eastern side:

9 fra Aroer, som ligger ved Bredden af Arnons Bæk, og fra den Stad, som er midt i Dalen, og alt det jævne Land ved Medba indtil Dibon,

from Aroer, which is situated on the bank of the torrent Arnon and in the midst of the valley, and all the plains of Medeba, as far as Dibon;

10 og alle Stæder, som tilhørte Sihon, Amoriternes Konge, som regerede i Hesbon, indtil Ammons Børns Landemærke;

and all the cities of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, even to the borders of the sons of Ammon;

11 og Gilead og Gesuriternes og Maakathiternes Landemærke og hele Hermons Bjerg og al Basan indtil Salka,

and Gilead, as well as the borders of Geshur and Maacati, and all of mount Hermon, and all of Bashan, as far as Salecah;

12 hele Ogs Rige i Basan, han som regerede i Astharoth og i Edrei og var een af de overblevne Kæmper. Og Mose slog dem og fordrev dem;

the entire kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned at Ashtaroth and Edrei, (he was among the last of the Rephaim). And Moses struck and destroyed them.

13 men Israels Børn fordreve ikke Gesuriterne og Maakathiterne; men Gesur og Maakath boede iblandt Israel indtil denne Dag.

And the sons of Israel were not willing to destroy Geshur and Maacati, and so they have lived in the midst of Israel, even to the present day.

14 Alene Levi Stamme gav han ikke Arv; Herrens, Israels Guds Ildofre, de ere hans Arv, som han havde sagt til dem.

But to the tribe of Levi, he did not give a possession. Instead, the sacrifices and victims of the Lord, the God of Israel, these are his inheritance, just as he spoke to him.

15 Men Mose havde givet Rubens Børns Stamme Arv efter deres Slægter;

Therefore, Moses gave a possession to the tribe of the sons of Reuben, according to their families.

16 og deres Landemærke var fra Aroer, som ligger ved Bredden af Arnons Bæk, og fra den Stad, som er midt i Dalen, og alt det jævne Land ved Medba,

And their border was from Aroer, which is situated on the bank of the torrent Arnon, and in the midst of the valley of the same torrent, with all the flatlands that lead to Medeba;

17 Hesbon og alle dens Stæder, som ligger paa det jævne Land, Dibon og Bamoth-Baal og Beth-Baal-Meon

21 og alle Stæderne paa det jævne Land og hele Sihons, den amoritiske Konges Rige, han, som regerede i Hesbon, hvilken Mose slog, tillige med Fyrsterne af Midian, nemlig Evi og Rekem og Zur og Hur og Reba, Sihons ypperste Mænd, som boede i Landet.

and all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdoms of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who reigned at Heshbon, whom Moses struck down with the leaders of Midian: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the commanders of Sihon, inhabitants of the land.

22 Og Bileam, Beors Søn, Spaamanden, slog Israels Børn ihjel med Sværd, tillige med de andre ihjelslagne.

And the sons of Israel killed Balaam, the son of Beor, the seer, with the sword, along with the others who were slain.

And Moses gave to the tribe of Gad and his sons, by their families, a possession, of which this is the division:

25 Og Jaeser og alle Stæderne i Gilead vare deres Landemærke og Halvdelen af Ammons Børns Land, indtil Aroer, som ligger lige over for Rabbah,

the border of Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and one half part of the land of the sons of Ammon, as far as Aroer, which is opposite Rabbah;

26 og fra Hesbon indtil Ramath-Mizpe og Bethonim og fra Mahanaim indtil Debirs Landemærke;

and from Heshbon as far as Ramath, Mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim as far as the borders of Debir;

27 og i Dalen: Beth-Haram og Beth-Nimra og Sukoth og Zafon, som var bleven tilovers af Sihons, Hesbons Konges, Rige, Jordanen og Landemærket derhos, indtil Enden af Kinnereths Hav, paa hin Side Jordanen mod Østen.

also, in the valley Beth-haram and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the remaining part of the kingdom of Sihon, the king of Heshbon; the limit of this also is the Jordan, as far as the furthest part of the sea of Chinnereth, beyond the Jordan on the eastern side.

28 Denne er Gads Børns Arv efter deres Slægter, Stæderne og deres Landsbyer.

This is the possession of the sons of Gad, by their families, in their cities and villages.

29 Og Mose havde givet den halve Manasse Stamme Arv, og den hørte den halve Manasse Børns Stamme til efter deres Slægter.

He also gave, to the one half tribe of Manasseh and to his sons, a possession according to their families,

30 Og deres Landemærke var fra Mahanaim, hele Basan, hele Ogs, Kongen af Basans Rige, og alle Jairs Byer, som ligge i Basan, tresindstyve Stæder.

the beginning of which is this: from Mahanaim, all of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Og, the king of Bashan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty towns;

31 Og Halvdelen af Gilead og Astaroth og Edrei, Ogs Riges Stæder i Basan, gav han Makirs, Manasse Søns, Børn, Halvdelen nemlig af Makirs Børn efter deres Slægter.

and one half part of Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, to the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, to one half part of the sons of Machir, according to their families.

32 Dette er det, som Mose uddelte til Arv paa Moabs slette Marker, paa hin Side Jordanen ved Jeriko mod Østen.

Moses divided this possession, in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, opposite Jericho on the eastern side.

33 Men Levi Stamme havde Mose ikke givet Arv; Herren, Israels Gud, han er deres Arv, som han havde tilsagt dem.

But to the tribe of Levi he did not give a possession. For the Lord, the God of Israel, is himself their possession, just as he spoke to him.
