Josua 14

1 Og dette er det, som Israels Børn arvede i Kanaans Land, som Eleasar, Præsten, og Josva, Nuns Søn, og Øversterne for Fædrenehusene iblandt Israels Børns Stammer, uddelte dem til Arv,

And these are the inheritances which the sons of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel, distributed to them,

2 ved Lodkastning om deres Arv, som Herren havde befalet ved Mose, at give de ni Stammer og den halve Stamme.

by the lot of their inheritance, as Jehovah commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe.

3 Thi Mose havde givet de to Stammer og den halve Stamme Arv paa hin Side Jordanen; men han gav ikke Leviterne Arv midt iblandt dem.

For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan, but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.

4 Thi Josefs Børn vare to Stammer, Manasse og Efraim; men de gave ikke Leviterne nogen Del i Landet, uden Stæder at bo udi og Markerne deromkring for deres Kvæg og for deres Gods.

For the sons of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. And they gave no portion to the Levites in the land except cities to dwell in with the suburbs of it for their cattle and for their substance.

5 Som Herren bød Mose, saa gjorde Israels Børn, og de delte Landet.

As Jehovah commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did, and they divided the land.

6 Og Judas Børn gik frem til Josva i Gilgal, og Kaleb, Jefunne den Kenisiters Søn, sagde til ham: Du ved det Ord, som Herren talede til Mose, den Guds Mand, angaaende mig og dig i Kades-Barnea.

Then the sons of Judah drew near to Joshua in Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, Thou know the thing that Jehovah spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning thee in Kadesh-barnea.

7 Jeg var fyrretyve Aar gammel, der Mose, Herrens Tjener, sendte mig fra Kades-Barnea til at spejde Landet; og jeg bragte ham Svar igen, ligesom jeg mente.

I was forty years old when Moses the servant of Jehovah sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land, and I brought him word again as it was in my heart.

8 Men mine Brødre, som gik op med mig, mistrøstede Folkets Hjerte; men jeg efterfulgte Herren min Gud fuldkommeligen.

Nevertheless my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed Jehovah my God.

9 Da svor Mose paa den samme Dag og sagde: Det Land, som din Fod traadte paa, skal blive dig og dine Børn til Arv evindeligen, fordi du fuldkommeligen efterfulgte Herren min Gud.

And Moses swore on that day, saying, Surely the land in which thy foot has trodden shall be an inheritance to thee and to thy sons forever because thou have wholly followed Jehovah my God.

10 Og nu, se, Herren har ladet mig leve, som han sagde, disse fyrretyve og fem Aar, fra den Tid, da Herren talede dette Ord til Mose, den Gang Israel vandrede i Ørken; og nu, se, jeg er i Dag fem og firsindstyve Aar gammel.

And now, behold, Jehovah has kept me alive, as he spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that Jehovah spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. And now, lo, I am this day eighty-five years old.

11 Jeg er endnu i Dag saa stærk, som paa den Dag, der Mose sendte mig: Som min Kraft var da, saa er og min Kraft nu til Krigen og til at gaa ud og til at gaa ind.

As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me. As my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, and to go out and to come in.

12 Saa giv mig nu dette Bjerg, som Herren talede om paa den samme Dag; thi du hørte paa den samme Dag, at Anakiterne ere der, og store og faste Stæder; maaske Herren vil være med mig, at jeg kan fordrive dem, ligesom Herren har sagt.

Now therefore give me this hill-country of which Jehovah spoke in that day. For thou heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and cities great and fortified. It may be that Jehovah will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as Jehovah spoke.

13 Saa velsignede Josva ham, og han gav Kaleb, Jefunne Søn, Hebron til Arv.

And Joshua blessed him, and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.

14 Derfor blev Hebron Kaleb, Jefunne den Kenisiters Søn, til Arv indtil denne Dag, fordi han fuldkommeligen efterfulgte Herren Israels Gud.

Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day because he wholly followed Jehovah, the God of Israel.

15 Men Hebron kaldtes tilforn Arbas Stad, han var det største Menneske iblandt Anakiterne; og Landet hvilede fra Krig.

Now the name of Hebron was formerly Kiriath-arba. Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim. And the land had rest from war.
