Josua 23
1 Og det skete mange Aar efter, at Herren havde skaffet Israel Rolighed for alle deres Fjender trindt omkring, og Josva var gammel, var kommen til Aars:
And it comes to pass, many days after that YHWH has given rest to Israel from all their surrounding enemies, that Joshua is old, entering into days,
2 Da kaldte Josva ad alt Israel, ad deres Ældste og deres Øverster og deres Dommere og deres Fogeder, og han sagde til dem: Jeg er gammel, jeg er kommen til Aars.
and Joshua calls for all Israel, for his elderly, and for his heads, and for his judges, and for his authorities, and says to them, “I have become old; I have entered into days;
3 Og I have set alt, hvad Herren eders Gud har gjort ved alle disse Folk for eders Ansigt; thi Herren eders Gud, han er den, som har stridt for eder.
and you have seen all that your God YHWH has done to all these nations because of you, for your God YHWH [is] He who is fighting for you;
4 Ser, jeg har ladet disse Folk, som ere overblevne, tilfalde eder til Arv for eders Stammer, fra Jordanen af, tillige med alle de Folk, som jeg har udryddet, og indtil det store Hav mod Solens Nedgang.
see, I have caused these nations who are left to fall to you for an inheritance to your tribes, from the Jordan (and all the nations which I cut off), and the Great Sea [at] the [setting] sun.
5 Og Herren eders Gud, han skal udstøde dem fra eders Ansigt, og han skal fordrive dem fra at være for eders Ansigt; og I skulle eje deres Land, som Herren eders Gud har tilsagt eder.
As for your God YHWH, He thrusts them from your presence, and has dispossessed them from before you, and you have possessed their land, as your God YHWH has spoken to you,
6 Saa værer saare stærke til at holde og at gøre alt det, som er skrevet i Mose Lovbog, saa at I ikke vige derfra til højre eller venstre Side,
and you have been very strong to keep and to do the whole that is written in the Scroll of the Law of Moses, so as not to turn aside from it right or left,
7 at I ikke komme iblandt disse Folk, som ere tilovers hos eder, og I ikke nævne eller lade sværge ved deres Guders Navn og ikke tjene dem og ikke tilbede dem;
so as not to go in among these nations, these who are left with you; and you do not make mention of the name of their gods, nor do you swear, nor do you serve them, nor do you bow yourselves to them;
8 men I skulle hænge fast ved Herren eders Gud, som I have gjort indtil denne Dag;
but you cleave to your God YHWH, as you have done until this day.
9 thi Herren har fordrevet store og stærke Folk fra eders Ansigt; og ingen har bestaaet for eders Ansigt indtil denne Dag.
And YHWH is dispossessing great and mighty nations from before you; as for you, none has stood in your presence until this day;
10 Een Mand af eder skal forfølge tusinde; thi Herren eders Gud, han er den, som strider for eder, som han har tilsagt Eder.
one man of you pursues a thousand, for your God YHWH [is] He who is fighting for you, as He has spoken to you;
11 Derfor tager nøje Vare paa eders Sjæle, at I elske Herren, eders Gud.
and you have been very watchful for yourselves to love your God YHWH.
12 Thi dersom I vende eder bort og hænge ved disse øvrige Hedninger, disse, som ere tilovers hos eder, og I gøre Svogerskab med dem, og I komme iblandt dem, og de iblandt eder:
But—if you turn back at all and have cleaved to the remnant of these nations, these who are left with you, and intermarried with them, and gone in to them, and they to you,
13 Da skulle I visseligen vide, at Herren eders Gud skal ikke ydermere fordrive disse Folk fra eders Ansigt; men de skulle blive eder til en Fælde og til en Snare og til en Svøbe paa eders Sider og til Brodde i eders Øjne, indtil I omkomme af dette gode Land, som Herren eders Gud har givet eder.
certainly know that your God YHWH is not continuing to dispossess these nations from before you, and they have been to you for a trap, and for a snare, and for a scourge, in your sides, and for thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good ground which your God YHWH has given to you.
14 Og se, jeg gaar i Dag al Jordens Gang; og I skulle vide i eders ganske Hjerte og i eders ganske Sjæl, at ikke eet Ord er faldet af alle de gode Ord, som Herren eders Gud har talet over eder, at de jo alle ere opfyldte for eder, der faldt ikke et Ord af dem.
And behold, I am going, today, in the way of all the earth, and you have known—with all your heart, and with all your soul—that there has not fallen one thing of all the good things which your God YHWH has spoken concerning you; the whole have come to you; there has not failed of it one thing.
15 Og det skal ske, at ligesom alle de gode Ord ere opfyldte over eder, som Herren eders Gud har talet til eder, saaledes skal Herren lade alle de onde Ord opfyldes over eder, indtil han udrydder eder af dette gode Land, som Herren eders Gud gav eder.
And it has been, as there has come on you all the good thing which your God YHWH has spoken to you, so YHWH brings on you the whole of the evil thing, until His destroying you from off this good ground which your God YHWH has given to you;
16 Naar I overtræde Herrens, eders Guds Pagt, som han bød eder, og gaa og tjene andre Guder og tilbede dem, da skal Herrens Vrede optændes imod eder, og I skulle snart omkomme af det gode Land, som han har givet eder.
in your transgressing the covenant of your God YHWH which He commanded you, and you have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them, then the anger of YHWH has burned against you, and you have perished quickly from off the good land which He has given to you.”
