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] they of the children of Israel that received their inheritance in the land of Chanaan, to whom Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the [son] of Naue, and the heads of the families of the tribes of the children of Israel, gave inheritance.

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

They inherited according to their lots, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Joshua to the nine tribes and the half tribe, on the other side of Jordan.

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.

But to the Levites he gave no inheritance amongst 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, Manasse and Ephraim; and there was none inheritance in the land given to the Levites, only cities to dwell in, and their suburbs separated for the cattle, and their cattle.

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

As the Lord commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel; 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.

And the children of Juda came to Joshua in Galgal, and Chaleb the [son] of Jephone the Kenezite said to him, You know the word that the Lord spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and you in Cades Barne.

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.

For I was forty years old when Moses the servant of God sent me out of Cades Barne to spy out the land; and I returned him an answer according to his mind.

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

My brethren that went up with me turned away the heart of the people, but I applied my self to follow the Lord 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 sware on that day, saying, The land on which you are gone up, it shall be your inheritance and your children's for ever, because you have applied yourself to follow the Lord our 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 the Lord has kept me alive as he said: this [is] the forty-fifth year since the Lord spoke that word to Moses; and Israel journeyed in the wilderness; and now, behold, 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.

I am still strong this day, as when the Lord sent me: just so strong am I now to go out and to come in for war.

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.

And now I ask of you this mountain, as the Lord said in that day; for you heard this word on that day; and now the Enakim are there, cities great and strong: if then the Lord should be with me, I will utterly destroy them, as the Lord said to me.

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

And Joshua blessed him, and gave Chebron to Chaleb the son of Jephone the son of Kenez 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 Chebron became the inheritance of Chaleb the [son] of Jephone the Kenezite until this day, because he followed the commandment of the Lord God of Israel.

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

And the name of Chebron before was the city Argob, it [is] the metropolis of the Enakim: and the land rested from war.
