Josua 4

1 Og det skete, der alt Folket var gaaet helt over Jordanen, da sagde Herren til Josva:

And it was just when they had finished all the nation to pass over the Jordan. And he said Yahweh to Joshua saying.

2 Tager eder tolv Mænd af Folket, een Mand af hver Stamme,

Take for yourselves from the people two [plus] ten men a man one a man one from a tribe.

3 og byder dem og siger: Optager eder herfra, midt af Jordanen, tolv Stene fra det Sted, som Præsternes Fødder staa fast paa, og bærer dem over med eder og lader dem blive paa det Sted, hvor I blive denne Nat over.

And command them saying take up for yourselves from here from [the] middle of the Jordan from [the] standing-place of [the] feet of the priests to make firm two [plus] ten stones and you will take over them with you and you will set down them at the lodging place which you will stay at it this night.

4 Da kaldte Josva ad de tolv Mænd, som han havde til Rede af Israels Børn, een Mand af hver Stamme;

And he called Joshua to two [plus] the ten man whom he had appointed from [the] people of Israel a man one a man one from a tribe.

5 og Josva sagde til dem: Gaar over frem foran Herren eders Guds Ark til midt i Jordanen, og opløfter eder hver een Sten paa sin Skulder efter Tallet paa Israels Børns Stammer,

And he said to them Joshua pass over before [the] ark of Yahweh God your into [the] middle of the Jordan and take up for yourselves each a stone one on shoulder his to [the] number of [the] tribes of [the] people of Israel.

6 at det skal være et Tegn midt iblandt eder, naar eders Børn herefter spørge og sige: Hvad betyde eder disse Stene?

So that it may be this a sign in midst your if they will ask! children your tomorrow saying what? [are] the stones these to you.

7 Og I skulle sige til dem, at Jordanens Vand blev afskaaret for Herrens Pagts Ark; der den gik igennem Jordanen, da blev Jordanens Vand afskaaret; og disse Stene skulle være til en Ihukommelse for Israels Børn evindeligen.

And you will say to them that they were cut off [the] waters of the Jordan from before [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh when passed on it in the Jordan they were cut off [the] waters of the Jordan and they will become the stones these a reminder to [the] people of Israel until perpetuity.

8 Og Israels Børn gjorde saaledes, som Josva bød, og optoge tolv Stene midt af Jordanen, som Herren havde sagt til Josva, efter Tallet paa Israels Børns Stammer; og de førte dem med sig over til det Sted, hvor de bleve om Natten, og de lode dem blive der.

And they did thus [the] people of Israel just as he had commanded Joshua and they took up two [plus] ten stones from [the] middle of the Jordan just as he had said Yahweh to Joshua to [the] number of [the] tribes of [the] people of Israel and they took over them with them to the lodging place and they set down them there.

9 Og tolv Stene oprejste Josva midt i Jordanen, nede, hvor Præsterne, som bare Pagtens Ark, havde staaet med deres Fødder, og de ere der indtil denne Dag.

And two [plus] ten stones he set up Joshua in [the] middle of the Jordan in [the] standing-place of [the] feet of the priests [the] bearers of [the] ark of the covenant and they have been there until the day this.

10 Og Præsterne, som bare Arken, bleve staaende midt i Jordanen, indtil hvert Ord var fuldkommet, som Herren havde talet til Folket, efter alt det, som Mose havde befalet Josva; og Folket skyndte sig og gik over.

And the priests [the] bearers of the ark [were] standing in [the] middle of the Jordan until was finished every thing which he had commanded Yahweh Joshua to speak to the people according to all that he had commanded Moses Joshua and they hurried the people and they passed over.

11 Og det skete, der det ganske Folk var gaaet helt over, da kom Herrens Ark og Præsterne over, for Folkets Ansigt.

And it was just when it had finished all the people to pass over and it passed over [the] ark of Yahweh and the priests before the people.

12 Og Rubens Børn og Gads Børn og Halvdelen af Manasse Stamme gik over bevæbnede, foran Israels Børns Ansigt, saaledes som Mose havde talet til dem.

And they passed over [the] descendants of Reuben and [the] descendants of Gad and [the] half of [the] tribe of Manasseh arrayed for battle before [the] people of Israel just as he had spoken to them Moses.

13 Ved fyrretyve Tusinde, bevæbnede til Strid, gik de over for Herrens Ansigt til Krigen paa Jerikos slette Marker.

About forty thousand armed [men] of war they passed over before Yahweh for battle to [the] plains of Jericho.

14 Paa den Dag gjorde Herren Josva stor for al Israels Øjne; og de frygtede ham, saaledes som de frygtede Mose, alle hans Livs Dage.

On the day that he made great Yahweh Joshua in [the] eyes of all Israel and they feared him just as they had feared Moses all [the] days of life his.

15 Og Herren sagde til Josva:

And he said Yahweh to Joshua saying.

16 Byd Præsterne, som bære Vidnesbyrdets Ark, at de stige op af Jordanen.

Command the priests [the] bearers of [the] ark of the testimony so they may come up from the Jordan.

17 Saa bød Josva Præsterne, og sagde: Stiger op af Jordanen!

And he commanded Joshua the priests saying come up from the Jordan.

18 Og det skete, der Præsterne, som bare Herrens Pagts Ark, stege op midt af Jordanen, saa snart Præsternes Fodsaaler havde betraadt det tørre, da kom Jordanens Vand tilbage til sit Sted og gik som tilforn over alle sine Bredder.

And it was (just as came up *Q(K)*) the priests [the] bearers of [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh from [the] middle of the Jordan they were drawn out [the] soles of [the] feet of the priests to the dry ground and they returned [the] waters of the Jordan to place their and they went as yesterday three days ago over all banks its.

19 Og Folket steg op af Jordanen paa den tiende Dag i den første Maaned, og de lejrede sig i Gilgal, paa Østgrænsen af Jerikos Landemærke.

And the people they went up from the Jordan on the ten of the month first and they encamped at Gilgal on [the] edge of [the] east of Jericho.

20 Og de tolv Stene, som de toge af Jordanen, oprejste Josva i Gilgal.

And two [plus] ten the stones these which they had taken from the Jordan he set up Joshua at Gilgal.

21 Og han sagde til Israels Børn: Naar eders Børn herefter spørge deres Fædre og sige: Hvad betyde disse Stene?

And he said to [the] people of Israel saying that they will ask! children your tomorrow fathers their saying what? [are] the stones these.

22 da skulle I kundgøre eders Børn det og sige: Israel gik paa det tørre igennem denne Jordan,

And you will make known to children your saying on the dry ground it passed over Israel the Jordan this.

23 thi Herren eders Gud udtørrede Jordanens Vande for eders Ansigt, indtil I kom over, ligesom Herren eders Gud gjorde ved det røde Hav, hvilket han udtørrede for vort Ansigt, indtil vi kom over,

That he dried up Yahweh God your [the] waters of the Jordan from before you until had passed over you just as he did Yahweh God your to [the] sea of reed[s] which he dried up from before us until had passed over we.

24 at alle Folk paa Jorden Skulle kende Herrens Haand, at den er stærk, at I skulle frygte Herren eders Gud alle Dage.

So as to know all [the] peoples of the earth [the] hand of Yahweh that [is] mighty it so that you may fear Yahweh God your all the days.
