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 Ruben and the children of Gad had a multitude of cattle, very great; and they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Galaad; and 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 Ruben and the children of Gad came, and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying,
3 Atharoth og Dibon og Jaeser og Nimra og Hesbon og Eleale og Sebam og Nebo og Beon,
Ataroth, and Daebon, and Jazer, and Namra, and Esebon, and Eleale, and Sebama, and Nabau, and Baean,
4 det Land, som Herren har slaaet for Israels Menigheds Ansigt, det er et Land til Kvæg, og dine Tjenere have Kvæg.
the land which the Lord has delivered up before the children of Israel, is pasture land, and your 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 grace in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession, and do not cause us to pass over 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 sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall you sit here?
7 Og hvi afvende I Israels Børns Hjerter fra at drage over til det Land, som Herren har givet dem?
And why do you pervert the minds of the children of Israel, that they should not cross over into the land, which the Lord gives them?
8 Saa gjorde eders Fædre, da jeg sendte dem fra Kades-Barnea til at bese Landet;
Did not your fathers thus, when I sent them from Cades Barne to spy out 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.
And they went up to the valley of the cluster, and spied the land, and turned aside the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land, which the Lord gave them.
10 Og Herrens Vrede optændtes den samme Dag, og han svor og sagde:
And the Lord was very angry in that day, and sware, 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,
Surely these men who came up out of Egypt from twenty years old and upward, who know good and evil, shall not see the land which I sware [to give] to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, for they have not closely followed after me:
12 undtagen Kaleb, Jefunne den Kenisiters Søn, og Josva, Nuns Søn; thi de have efterfulgt Herren.
save Caleb the son of Jephonne, who was set apart, and Joshua the son of Naue, for they closely followed after the Lord.
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 the Lord was very angry with Israel; and for forty years he caused them to wander in the wilderness, until all the generation which did evil in the sight of the Lord was extinct.
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;
Behold, you are risen up in the room of your fathers, a combination of sinful men, to increase yet farther the fierce wrath of the Lord against 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.
For you will turn away from him to desert him yet once more in the wilderness, and you will sin against this whole congregation.
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 came to him, and said, We will build here folds for our cattle, and cities for our possessions;
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.
and we will arm ourselves and go as an advanced guard before the children of Israel, until we shall have brought them into their place; and our possessions shall remain in walled 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 till the children of Israel shall have been distributed, each to his own 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.
And we will not any longer inherit with them from the other side of Jordan and onwards, because we have our full inheritance on the side beyond 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 you will do according to these words, if you will arm yourselves before the Lord for battle,
21 og hver af eder bevæbnet vil drage over Jordanen for Herrens Ansigt, indtil han har fordrevet sine Fjender fra sit Ansigt,
and every one of you will pass over Jordan fully armed before the Lord, until his enemy be destroyed from before his face,
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 shall be subdued before the Lord, then afterwards you shall return, and be guiltless before the Lord, and as regards Israel; and this land shall be to you for a possession before the Lord.
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 you will not do so, you will sin against the Lord; and you shall know your sin, when afflictions shall come upon you.
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.
And you shall build for yourselves cities for your store, and folds for your cattle; and you shall do that which proceeds 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 sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad spoke to Moses, saying, Your servants will do as our lord commands.
26 Vore smaa Børn, vore Hustruer, vort Fæ og alt vort Kvæg, de skulle blive der, i Gileads Stæder;
Our store, and our wives, and all our cattle shall be in the cities of Galaad.
27 men dine Tjenere ville drage over, hver bevæbnet til Strid for Herrens Ansigt, i Krigen, som min Herre siger.
But your servants will go over all armed and set in order before the Lord to battle, as [our] 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.
And Moses appointed to them [for judges] Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Naue, and the chiefs of the families of the tribes 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 to them, If the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad will pass over Jordan with you, every one armed for war before the Lord, and you shall subdue the land before you, then you shall give to them the land of Galaad 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 will not pass over armed with you to war before the Lord, then shall you cause to pass over their possessions and their wives and their cattle before you into the land of Chanaan, and they shall inherit with you in the land of Chanaan.
31 Og Gads Børn og Rubens Børn svarede og sagde: Som Herren har talet til dine Tjenere, saaledes ville vi gøre.
And the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad answered, saying, Whatsoever the Lord says to his servants, that 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 go over armed before the Lord into the land of Chanaan, and you shall give us our inheritance beyond Jordan.
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, even to the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben, and to the half tribe of Manasse of the sons of Joseph, the kingdom of Seon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Basan, the land and its cities with its coasts, the cities of the land round about.
34 Saa byggede Gads Børn Dibon og Ataroth og Aroer
And the sons of Gad built Daebon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35 og Ataroth-Sofan og Jaeser og Jogbea
and Sophar, and Jazer, and they set them up,
36 og Beth-Nimra og Beth-Haran, faste Stæder og Faarestier.
and Namram, and Baetharan, strong cities, and folds for sheep.
37 Og Rubens Børn byggede Hesbon og Eleale og Kirjathajim
And the sons of Ruben built Esebon, and Eleale, and Kariatham,
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 Beelmeon, surrounded [with walls], and Sebama; and they called the names of the cities which they built, after their own names.
39 Og Makirs, Manasse Søns, Børn gik ind i Gilead og indtoge det; og de fordreve Amoriterne, som vare der udi.
And a son of Machir the son of Manasse went to Galaad, and took it, and destroyed the Amorite who lived in it.
40 Da gav Mose Makir, Manasse Søn, Gilead, og han boede derudi.
And Moses gave Galaad to Machir the son of Manasse, and he lived there.
41 Men Jair, Manasse Søn, gik hen og indtog deres Smaabyer og kaldte dem Havoth-Jair.
And Jair the [son] of Manasse went and took their villages, and called them the villages of Jair.
42 Og Noba gik hen og indtog Kenat og dens tilliggende Byer og kaldte den Noba efter sit Navn.
And Nabau went and took Caath and her villages, and called them Naboth after his name.
