Josua 2
1 Og Josva, Nuns Søn, sendte hemmelig to Mænd som Spejdere fra Sittim og sagde: Gaar hen, beser Landet og Jeriko; og de gik hen og kom ind i en Kvindes, en Skøges Hus, og hendes Navn var Rahab, og de laa der.
And he sent Joshua [the] son of Nun from Shittim two men spies secretly saying go see the land and Jericho and they went and they went [the] house of a woman a prostitute and name her [was] Rahab and they lay down there.
2 Da blev der sagt til Kongen af Jeriko saaledes: Se, i Nat er der komne Mænd hid af Israels Børn for at udforske Landet.
And it was told to [the] king of Jericho saying here! men they have come hither this night from [the] people of Israel to spy out the land.
3 Da sendte Kongen af Jeriko Bud til Rahab og lod sige: Før de Mænd ud, som kom til dig, som kom til dit Hus; thi de ere komne til at udforske alt Landet.
And he sent [the] king of Jericho to Rahab saying bring out the men who came to you who they came to house your for to spy out all the land they have come.
4 Men Kvinden havde taget de to Mænd og skjult dem; og hun sagde saaledes: Mændene kom til mig, men jeg vidste ikke, hvorfra de vare.
And she took the woman [the] two the men and she hid him and she said - right they came to me the men and not I knew from where [were] they.
5 Og det skete, der de vilde lukke Porten, da det var mørkt, gik Mændene ud, jeg ved ikke, hvor de Mænd gik hen; forfølger dem snart, thi saa skulle I naa dem.
And it was the gate [about] to shut at darkness and the men they went out not I know where? did they go the men pursue quickly after them for you will overtake them.
6 Men hun havde ladet dem stige op paa Taget og skjult dem under Hørstilkene, som vare udbredte af hende paa Taget.
And she she had taken up them the roof towards and she had hidden them among [the] flax of the tree that had been arranged by her on the roof.
7 Og Mændene forfulgte dem paa Vejen til Jordanen indtil Færgestederne, og man lukkede Porten til, efter at de, som forfulgte dem, vare udgangne.
And the men they pursued after them [the] road of the Jordan to the fords and the gate people closed after just when they had gone out the pursuers after them.
8 Og førend de havde lagt sig, gik hun op til dem paa Taget,
And they not yet they had lain down! and she she went up to them on the roof.
9 og hun sagde til Mændene: Jeg ved, at Herren har givet eder Landet, og at Forfærdelse for eder er falden paa os, og at Landets Indbyggere ere mistrøstige for eders Ansigt.
And she said to the men I know that he has given Yahweh to you the land and that it has fallen dread your on us and that they have melted away all [the] inhabitants of the land because of you.
10 Thi vi have hørt, at Herren udtørrede Vandet i det røde Hav for eders Ansigt, der I gik ud af Ægypten, og hvad I gjorde ved Amoriternes to Konger, som vare paa hin Side Jordanen, Sihon og Og, hvilke I ødelagde.
For we have heard this: he dried up Yahweh [the] waters of [the] sea of reed[s] from before you when came out you from Egypt and [that] which you did to [the] two [the] kings of the Amorite[s] who [was] on [the] other side of the Jordan to Sihon and to Og whom you totally destroyed them.
11 Og vi have hørt det, og vort Hjerte er mistrøstigt, og intet Mod bestaar ydermere i nogen for eders Ansigt; thi Herren eders Gud, han er en Gud i Himmelen oventil og paa Jorden nedentil.
And we heard and it melted heart our and not it arose again spirit in anyone because of you for Yahweh God your he [is] God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.
12 Og nu, kære, sværger mig ved Herren, efterdi jeg gjorde Miskundhed mod eder, at I og ville gøre Miskundhed imod min Faders Hus og give mig et sikkert Tegn,
And therefore swear please to me by Yahweh for I have done with you loyalty and you will do also you with [the] household of father my loyalty and you will give to me a sign of faithfulness.
13 at I ville lade min Fader og min Moder og mine Brødre og mine Søstre leve, og alt det, de have, og fri vore Sjæle fra Døden.
And you will let live father my and mother my and brothers my and (sisters my *Q(K)*) and all who [belong] to them and you will deliver lives our from death.
14 Og Mændene sagde til hende: Vore Sjæle skulle være i Stedet for eders til at dø, naar I kun ikke kundgør denne vor Handel; og det skal ske, naar Herren giver os Landet, da ville vi vise Miskundhed og Troskab imod dig.
And they said to her the men life our for you to die if not you will tell business our this and it will be when gives Yahweh to us the land and we will do with you loyalty and faithfulness.
15 Saa lod hun dem ned ved et Reb igennem Vinduet; thi hendes Hus var ved Stadens Mur, og hun boede ved Muren.
And she let down them with rope through the window for house her [was] in [the] wall of the city wall and in the city wall she [was] dwelling.
16 Og hun sagde til dem: Gaar op paa Bjerget, at de, som forfølge eder, ikke skulle møde eder, og skjuler eder der i tre Dage, indtil de komme igen, som forfølge eder, og siden kunne I gaa eders Vej.
And she said to them the hill country towards go lest they should meet you the pursuers and you will hide yourselves there three days until return the pursuers and after you will go to way your.
17 Og Mændene sagde til hende: Vi ville være løste fra denne din Ed, som du kom os til at sværge:
And they said to her the men [will be] free we from oath your this which you made swear us.
18 Se, naar vi komme ind i Landet, da skal du binde denne Skarlagens Snor i Vinduet, igennem hvilket du har ladet os ned, og du skal samle til dig i Huset din Fader og din Moder og dine Brødre og din Faders ganske Hus;
Here! we [are] about to come in the land [the] cord of [the] thread of the scarlet this you will bind in the window which you let down us in it and father your and mother your and brothers your and all [the] household of father your you will gather to you the house towards.
19 og det skal ske, hver den, som gaar ud af dit Huses Døre udenfor, hans Blod skal være paa hans Hoved, og vi skulle være uskyldige; men hver den, som er med dig i Huset, hans Blod skal være paa vort Hoved, dersom der bliver lagt Haand paa ham.
And it will be every [one] who he will go out from [the] doors of house your - the outside towards blood his [will be] on own head his and we [will be] free and every [one] who he will be with you in the house blood his [will be] on head our if a hand it will be on him.
20 Men dersom du kundgør denne vor Handel, da ville vi være løste fra den Ed, som du kom os til at sværge.
And if you will tell business our this and we will be free from oath your which you made swear us.
21 Og hun sagde: Det skal saa være efter eders Ord, og hun lod dem gaa, og de gik; og hun bandt den Skarlagens Snor i Vinduet.
And she said according to words your [be] so it and she sent off them and they went and she bound [the] cord of the scarlet in the window.
22 Saa gik de hen og kom paa Bjerget og bleve der tre Dage, indtil de, som forfulgte dem, vendte tilbage; men Forfølgerne ledte paa hele Vejen og fandt dem ikke.
And they went and they came the hill country towards and they remained there three days until they returned the pursuers and they searched the pursuers in all the way and not they found [them].
23 Saa vendte de to Mænd tilbage og gik ned ad Bjerget og for over og kom til Josva, Nuns Søn, og de fortalte ham alting, som havde rammet dem.
And they returned [the] two the men and they went down from the hill country and they passed over and they came to Joshua [the] son of Nun and they recounted to him all the [things that] had found with them.
24 Og de sagde til Josva: Herren har givet alt Landet i vor Haand, ja ogsaa alle Landets Indbyggere ere mistrøstige for vort Ansigt.
And they said to Joshua that he has given Yahweh in hand our all the land and also they have melted away all [the] inhabitants of the land because of us.
