4 Mosebog 32
1 Og Rubens Børn og Gads Børn havde meget og saare talrigt Kvæg, og de saa det Land Jaeser og det Land Gilead, og se, det Sted var et bekvemt Sted til Kvæg.
And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had much cattle, a very great multitude; and they saw the land of Jaazer, and the land of Gilead, and behold, the place was a place for cattle.
2 Og Gads Børn og Rubens Børn kom, og de sagde til Mose og til Eleasar, Præsten, og til Menighedens Fyrster, sigende:
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the assembly, saying,
3 Atharoth og Dibon og Jaeser og Nimra og Hesbon og Eleale og Sebam og Nebo og Beon,
Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jaazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elaleh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
4 det Land, som Herren har slaaet for Israels Menigheds Ansigt, det er et Land til Kvæg, og dine Tjenere have Kvæg.
the country that Jehovah smote before the assembly of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle;
5 Og de sagde: Dersom vi have fundet Naade for dine Øjne, da lad dette Land gives dine Tjenere til Ejendom, lad os ikke gaa over Jordanen.
and they said, If we have found favour in thine eyes, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession: bring us not over the Jordan.
6 Da sagde Mose til Gads Børn og til Rubens Børn: Skulle eders Brødre drage i Krigen, og I skulle blive her?
And Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye abide here?
7 Og hvi afvende I Israels Børns Hjerter fra at drage over til det Land, som Herren har givet dem?
And why do ye discourage the children of Israel from going over into the land that Jehovah has given them?
8 Saa gjorde eders Fædre, da jeg sendte dem fra Kades-Barnea til at bese Landet;
Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land:
9 thi de gik op til Eskols Bæk og besaa Landet, og de afvendte Israels Børns Hjerte, at de ikke vilde gaa ind i Landet, som Herren havde givet dem.
they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, and discouraged the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land that Jehovah had given them.
10 Og Herrens Vrede optændtes den samme Dag, og han svor og sagde:
And Jehovah's anger was kindled the same time, and he swore, saying,
11 Disse Mænd, som ere dragne op af Ægypten, fra tyve Aar gamle og derover, skulle ikke se det Land, som jeg har tilsvoret Abraham, Isak og Jakob; thi de have ikke efterfulgt mig,
If the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land that I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob! for they have not wholly followed me;
12 undtagen Kaleb, Jefunne den Kenisiters Søn, og Josva, Nuns Søn; thi de have efterfulgt Herren.
save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; for they have wholly followed Jehovah.
13 Saa optændtes Herrens Vrede imod Israel, og han lod dem vanke hid og did i Ørken fyrretyve Aar, indtil hele den Slægt fik Ende, som gjorde det onde for Herrens Øjne.
And Jehovah's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation was consumed that had done evil in the eyes of Jehovah.
14 Og se, I ere traadte op i eders Fædres Sted, en Mængde af syndige Mennesker, for at gøre Herrens Vrede endnu større imod Israel;
And behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, a progeny of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of Jehovah toward Israel.
15 thi dersom I vende eder bort fra ham, da skal han lade det blive endnu længere i Ørken; og dermed bringe I Fordærvelse over hele dette Folk.
If ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
16 Da gik de frem til ham og sagde: Vi ville ikkun bygge Faarestier her til vort Kvæg, og Stæder for vore smaa Børn.
And they drew near to him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones;
17 Men vi ville væbne os og ile foran Israels Børns Ansigt, indtil vi have ført dem til deres Sted, og vore smaa Børn skulle blive i de faste Stæder, for Landets Indbyggeres Skyld.
but we ourselves will go with diligence armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place; and our little ones shall dwell in the strong cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
18 Vi ville ikke vende tilbage til vore Huse, førend Israels Børn have indtaget hver sin Arv.
We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited each one his inheritance.
19 Thi vi ville ikke arve med dem paa hin Side Jordanen og videre frem; men vor Arv skal tilfalde os paa denne Side Jordanen mod Østen.
For we will not inherit with them on yonder side the Jordan, and further, because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side the Jordan eastward.
20 Og Mose sagde til dem: Dersom I ville gøre denne Gerning, dersom I ville væbne eder til Strid for Herrens Ansigt,
And Moses said to them, If ye do this thing, if ye arm yourselves before Jehovah for war,
21 og hver af eder bevæbnet vil drage over Jordanen for Herrens Ansigt, indtil han har fordrevet sine Fjender fra sit Ansigt,
and all of you that are armed go over the Jordan before Jehovah, until he have dispossessed his enemies from before him,
22 og Landet bliver undertvunget for Herrens Ansigt: Saa maa I derefter vende tilbage, og I skulle være uden Skyld for Herren og for Israel, og I skulle have dette Land til Ejendom for Herrens Ansigt.
and the land is subdued before Jehovah, and afterwards ye return, ye shall be guiltless toward Jehovah and toward Israel, and this land shall be your possession before Jehovah.
23 Men dersom I ikke ville gøre saaledes, se, da have I syndet imod Herren; og vider, at eders Synd skal finde eder.
But if ye do not do so, behold, ye have sinned against Jehovah, and be sure your sin will find you out.
24 Saa bygger eder Stæder for eders smaa Børn og Stier for eders smaa Kvæg, og gører efter det, som er udgaaet af eders Mund.
Build yourselves cities for your little ones, and folds for your flocks, and do that which has gone out of your mouth.
25 Og Gads Børn og Rubens Børn sagde til Mose, sigende: Dine Tjenere skulle gøre, saaledes, som min Herre har befalet.
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commands.
26 Vore smaa Børn, vore Hustruer, vort Fæ og alt vort Kvæg, de skulle blive der, i Gileads Stæder;
Our little ones, our wives, our cattle, and all our beasts shall be there in the cities of Gilead;
27 men dine Tjenere ville drage over, hver bevæbnet til Strid for Herrens Ansigt, i Krigen, som min Herre siger.
but thy servants will pass over, every one armed for war, before Jehovah to battle, as my lord says.
28 Da gav Mose Befaling angaaende dem til Eleasar, Præsten, og Josva, Nuns Søn, og de Øverste for Fædrenehusene blandt Israels Børns Stammer.
So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel.
29 Og Mose sagde til dem: Dersom Gads Børn og Rubens Børn drage med eder over Jordanen, hver bevæbnet til Krigen, for Herrens Ansigt, og Landet er undertvunget for eders Ansigt, da skulle I give dem det Land Gilead til Ejendom.
And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben pass with you over the Jordan, every one armed for battle, before Jehovah, and the land be subdued before you, then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession;
30 Men dersom de ikke drage bevæbnede over med eder, da skulle de tage Arv midt iblandt eder i Kanaans Land.
but if they do not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
31 Og Gads Børn og Rubens Børn svarede og sagde: Som Herren har talet til dine Tjenere, saaledes ville vi gøre.
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As Jehovah has said to thy servants, so will we do.
32 Vi ville drage bevæbnede for Herrens Ansigt over i Kanaans Land, og vor Arvs Ejendom skulle vi have paa denne Side Jordanen.
We will pass over armed before Jehovah into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance on this side the Jordan shall be ours.
33 Saa gav Mose dem, nemlig Gads Børn og Rubens Børn og Halvdelen af Manasse, Josefs Søns, Stamme, Sihons, den amoritiske Konges, Rige og Ogs, Kongen af Basans, Rige, Landet med dets Stæder inden deres Grænser, Landets Stæder trindt omkring.
And Moses gave to them, to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og the king of Bashan, the land, according to its cities and territories, the cities of the land round about.
34 Saa byggede Gads Børn Dibon og Ataroth og Aroer
And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35 og Ataroth-Sofan og Jaeser og Jogbea
and Atroth-Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbebah,
36 og Beth-Nimra og Beth-Haran, faste Stæder og Faarestier.
and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-haran, strong cities, and sheepfolds.
37 Og Rubens Børn byggede Hesbon og Eleale og Kirjathajim
— And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elaleh, and Kirjathaim,
38 og Nebo og Baal-Meon, som de forandrede Navnene paa, og Sibma; og de gave Stæderne, som de byggede, Navne, hver sit Navn.
and Nebo, and Baal-meon (of which the names were changed), and Sibmah; and they gave other names to the cities that they built.
39 Og Makirs, Manasse Søns, Børn gik ind i Gilead og indtoge det; og de fordreve Amoriterne, som vare der udi.
— And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and they dispossessed the Amorites that were therein.
40 Da gav Mose Makir, Manasse Søn, Gilead, og han boede derudi.
And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.
41 Men Jair, Manasse Søn, gik hen og indtog deres Smaabyer og kaldte dem Havoth-Jair.
And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took their hamlets, and called them Havoth-Jair.
42 Og Noba gik hen og indtog Kenat og dens tilliggende Byer og kaldte den Noba efter sit Navn.
And Nobah went and took Kenath, and its dependent villages, and called it Nobah, after his name.
