4 Mosebog 21
1 Der Kananiten, Arads Konge, som boede i Sydlandet, hørte, at Israel kom ind ad Spejdernes Vej, da stred han imod Israel og førte nogle af dem bort i Fangenskab.
The Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled], the king of Arad, who lived in the South, sh'ma ·heard obeyed· that Israel [God prevails] came by the way of Atharim. He fought against Israel [God prevails], and took some of them captive.
2 Da lovede Israel Herren et Løfte og sagde: Dersom du giver dette Folk i min Haand, da vil jeg lyse deres Stæder i Band.
Israel [God prevails] vowed a vow to Adonai, and said, “If you will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.”
3 Og Herren hørte Israels Røst og overgav Kananiterne, og man bandlyste dem og deres Stæder og kaldte det Steds Navn Horma.
Adonai sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the voice of Israel [God prevails], and delivered up the Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled]; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities. The name of the place was called Hormah.
4 Saa rejste de fra det Bjerg Hor paa Vejen til det røde Hav, for at drage omkring Edoms Land; og Folkets Sjæl blev utaalmodig paa Vejen.
They traveled from Mount Hor by the way to the Sea of Suf [Reed Sea], to go around the land of Edom [Red] The soul of the people was very discouraged because of the journey.
5 Og Folket talede imod Gud og imod Mose: Hvorfor førte I os op af Ægypten for at dø i Ørken? thi her er hverken Brød eller Vand, og vor Sjæl kedes ved denne ringe Mad.
The people spoke against God, and against Moses [Drawn out], “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt [Abode of slavery] to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loathes this light bread.”
6 Da sendte Herren giftige Slanger iblandt Folket, og de bed Folket, og der døde meget Folk af Israel.
Adonai sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people. Many people of Israel [God prevails] died.
7 Da kom Folket til Mose, og de sagde: Vi have syndet, thi vi have talet imod Herren og imod dig, bed til Herren, at han vil tage de Slanger fra os; og Mose bad for Folket.
The people came to Moses [Drawn out], and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against Adonai, and against you. Pray to Adonai, that he take away the serpents from us.” Moses [Drawn out] prayed for the people.
8 Da sagde Herren til Mose: Gør dig en Slange, og sæt den paa en Stang; og det skal ske, at hver som er bidt og ser den, han skal leve.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Make a fiery serpent, and set it up on a pole. It shall happen, that everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.”
9 Da gjorde Mose en Kobberslange og satte den paa en Stang; og det skete, naar en Slange havde bidt nogen, og han saa til den Kobberslange, da blev han i Live.
Moses [Drawn out] made a serpent of bronze, and set it on the pole. If a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked at the serpent of bronze, he lived.
10 Og Israels Børn rejste derfra, og de lejrede sig i Oboth.
The children of Israel [God prevails] traveled, and encamped in Oboth.
11 Og de rejste fra Oboth, og de lejrede sig ved Abirams Høje i Ørken, som er lige foran Moab, mod Solens Opgang.
They traveled from Oboth, and encamped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab [From father], toward the sunrise.
12 Derfra rejste de og lejrede sig ved den Bæk Sered.
From there they traveled, and encamped in the valley of Zered.
13 Derfra rejste de og lejrede sig paa denne Side Arnon, som er i Ørken, og som gaar ud fra Amoriternes Landemærke; thi Arnon var Moabs Landemærke imellem Moab og imellem Amoriterne.
From there they traveled, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that comes out of the border of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers]: for the Arnon is the border of Moab [From father], between Moab [From father] and the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers].
14 Derfor siges i Herrens Stridsbog: „Vaheb i Sufa og Arnons Bække,
Therefore it is said in the book of the Wars of Adonai, “Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,
15 og Bækkenes Løb, som strækker sig til Ars Bolig og støder paa Moabs Landemærke.
the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab [From father].”
16 Og derfra rejste de til Beer, det er den Brønd, som Herren talede om til Mose: Saml Folket, og jeg vil give dem Vand.
From there they traveled to Beer; that is the well of which Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
17 Da sang Israel denne Sang: „Stig, Brønd! sjunger om den.
Then Israel [God prevails] sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing to it,
18 Brønd, som er graven af Fyrsterne, kastet af de ædle iblandt Folket, med Fyrstespir, med deres Herskerstave!‟ Og fra den Ørk rejste de til Matthana,
the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter, and with their poles.” From the wilderness they traveled to Mattanah;
19 og fra Matthana til Nahaliel, og fra Nahaliel til Bamoth,
and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
20 og fra Bamoth til den Dal, som er paa Moabs Mark, mod Toppen af Pisga, der skuer ud over Ørken.
and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab [From father], to the top of Pisgah, which looks down on the desert.
21 Og Israel sendte Bud hen til Sihon, Amoriternes Konge, og lod sige:
Israel [God prevails] sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], saying,
22 Lad mig gaa igennem dit Land, vi ville ikke bøje ind paa Ager eller paa Vingaard, vi ville ikke drikke Vand af nogen Brønd, vi ville drage ad Kongevejen, indtil vi ere komne igennem dit Landemærke.
“Let me pass through your land. We will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard. We will not drink of the water of the wells. We will go by the king’s highway, until we have passed your border.”
23 Og Sihon vilde ikke tilstede Israel at gaa igennem sit Landemærke; men Sihon samlede alt sit Folk og drog ud mod Israel i Ørken og kom til Jaza; og han stred imod Israel.
Sihon would not allow Israel [God prevails] to pass through his border, but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel [God prevails] into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz. He fought against Israel [God prevails].
24 Men Israel slog ham med skarpe Sværd og indtog hans Land til Ejendom, fra Arnon indtil Jabok, indtil Ammons Børn; men Ammons Børns Landemærke var fast.
Israel [God prevails] struck him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even to the children of Ammon [Tribal people]; for the border of the children of Ammon [Tribal people] was strong.
25 Saa indtog Israel alle disse Stæder, og Israel tog Bolig i alle Amoriternes Stæder, i Hesbon, og alle dens tilliggende Byer.
Israel [God prevails] took all these cities. Israel [God prevails] lived in all the cities of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], in Heshbon, and in all its villages.
26 Thi Hesbon var Sihons, Amoriternes Konges, Stad; og han havde stridt mod Moabiternes forrige Konge og taget alt hans Land fra ham indtil Arnon.
For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], who had fought against the former king of Moab [From father], and taken all his land out of his hand, even to the Arnon.
27 Derfor sige de, som tale Ordsprog: „Kommer til Hesbon! Sihons Stad skal bygges og grundfæstes.
Therefore those who speak in proverbs say, “Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be built and established;
28 Thi der er udgangen en Ild af Hesbon, en Lue af Sihons Stad, den har fortæret Ar i Moab, Herrerne over Arnons Høje.
for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has devoured Ar of Moab [From father], The lords of the high places of the Arnon.
29 Ve dig, Moab! du, Kamos Folk, er fortabt! han har givet sine Sønner som Flygtninge og sine Døtre som Fanger til Sihon, Amoriternes Konge.
Woe to you, Moab [From father]! You are undone, people of Chemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to Sihon king of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers].
30 Og vi have nedskudt dem; Hesbon er tabt indtil Dibon; og vi have lagt dem øde indtil Nofa, som naar indtil Medba.‟
We have shot at them. Heshbon has perished even to Dibon. We have laid waste even to Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba.”
31 Saa tog Israel Bolig i Amoriternes Land.
Thus Israel [God prevails] lived in the land of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers].
32 Og Mose sendte ud at bespejde Jaeser, og de indtoge dens tilliggende Byer; og han fordrev Amoriterne, som vare der.
Moses [Drawn out] sent to spy out Jazer. They took its villages, and drove out the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers] who were there.
33 Og de vendte sig og droge op ad Vejen til Basan; da drog Og, Kongen af Basan, ud imod dem, han og alt hans Folk til Strid, til Edrei.
They turned and went up by the way of Bashan. Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
34 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Frygt ikke for ham; thi jeg har givet ham i din Haand, og alt hans Folk og hans Land; og du skal gøre ved ham, ligesom du gjorde ved Sihon, Amoriternes Konge, som boede i Hesbon.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Don’t fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, with all his people, and his land. You shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], who lived at Heshbon.”
35 Og de sloge ham og hans Sønner og alt hans Folk, saa at man ikke lod nogen blive tilovers for ham, og de indtoge hans Land til Ejendom.
So they struck him, with his sons and all his people, until there were no survivors; and they possessed his land.
