5 Mosebog 2
1 Saa vendte vi om og brød op til Ørkenen i Retning af det røde Hav, saaledes som HERREN havde paalagt mig, og i lang Tid vandrede vi rundt om Se'irs Bjerge.
Then we turned, and tooke our iourney into the wildernes, by the way of the red Sea, as the Lord spake vnto me: and we compassed mount Seir a long time.
2 Da sagde HERREN til mig:
And the Lord spake vnto me, saying,
3 »Nu har I længe nok vandret rundt om Bjergene her; vend eder nu mod Nord!
Ye haue compassed this mountaine long ynough: turne you Northward.
4 Men byd Folket og sig: Naar I nu drager igennem eders Brødres, Esaus Sønners, Landemærker, de, som bor i Se'ir, og de bliver bange for eder, saa skal I tage eder vel i Vare
And warne thou the people, saying, Ye shall go through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir, and they shall be afraide of you: take ye good heede therefore.
5 for at indlade eder i Krig med dem; thi jeg vil ikke give eder saa meget som en Fodsbred af deres Land; thi Esau har jeg givet Se'irs Bjerge i Arv og Eje.
Ye shall not prouoke them: for I wil not giue you of their land so much as a foot breadth, because I haue giuen mount Seir vnto Esau for a possession.
6 Fødevarer at spise skal I købe af dem for Penge, ogsaa Vand at drikke skal I købe af dem for Penge;
Ye shall buy meate of them for money to eate, and ye shall also procure water of them for money to drinke.
7 thi HERREN din Gud har velsignet dig i alt, hvad du har taget dig for, han har sørget for dig paa din Vandring gennem denne store Ørken; i fyrretyve Aar har HERREN din Gud nu været med dig, du har ikke manglet noget.«
For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee in all the workes of thine hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wildernes, and the Lord thy God hath bene with thee this fourtie yeere, and thou hast lacked nothing.
8 Derpaa drog vi fra Elat og Ezjongeber ad Arabavejen gennem vore Brødres, Esaus Sønners Land, de, som bor i Se'ir; saa drejede vi af og drog videre ad Vejen til Moabs Ørken.
And when we were departed from our brethren the children of Esau which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plaine, from Elath, and from Ezion-gaber, we turned and went by the way of the wildernes of Moab.
9 Og HERREN sagde til mig: »Du maa ikke angribe Moab eller indlade dig i Krig med dem, thi jeg vil ikke give dig noget af deres Land i Eje; thi Lots Sønner har jeg givet Ar i Eje.
Then the Lord sayd vnto me, Thou shalt not vexe Moab, neither prouoke them to battel: for I wil not giue thee of their land for a possession, because I haue giuen Ar vnto the children of Lot for a possession.
10 (Fordum beboedes det af Emiterne, et stort og talrigt Folk, kæmpestore som Anakiterne;
The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great and many, and tall, as the Anakims.
11 ogsaa de henregnes ligesom Anakiterne til Refaiterne, men Moabiterne kalder dem Emiter.
They also were taken for gyants as the Anakims: whom the Moabites call Emims.
12 I Se'ir boede derimod fordum Horiterne, som Esaus Sønner drev bort og udryddede foran sig, hvorefter de bosatte sig der i deres Sted, ligesom Israel gjorde ved sit Ejendomsland, som HERREN gav dem.)
The Horims also dwelt in Seir before time, whome the children of Esau chased out and destroyed them before them, and dwelt in their steade: as Israel shall doe vnto the land of his possession, which the Lord hath giuen them.
13 Bryd nu op og gaa over Zeredbækken!« Saa gik vi over Zeredbækken.
Now rise vp, sayd I, and get you ouer the riuer Zered: and we went ouer the riuer Zered.
14 Der var gaaet otte og tredive Aar fra vort Opbrud fra Kadesj-Barnea, til vi gik over Zeredbækken, til hele din Slægt af vaabenføre Mænd var uddød af Lejren, saaledes som HERREN havde svoret dem;
The space also wherein we came from Kadesh-barnea, vntill we were come ouer the riuer Zered, was eight and thirtie yeeres, vntill all the generation of the men of warre were wasted out from among the hoste, as the Lord sware vnto them.
15 ogsaa HERRENS Haand havde været imod dem, saa de blev udryddet af Lejren til sidste Mand.
For in deede the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from among the hoste, till they were consumed.
16 Men da alle vaabenføre Mænd var uddøde af Folket,
So when all the men of warre were consumed and dead from among the people:
17 talede HERREN til mig og sagde:
Then the Lord spake vnto me, saying,
18 Naar du nu drager gennem Moabs Landemærker, gennem Ar,
Thou shalt goe through Ar the coast of Moab this day:
19 og saaledes naar hen til Ammoniterne, saa maa du ikke angribe dem eller indlade dig i Krig med dem, thi jeg vil ikke give dig noget af Ammoniternes Land i Eje; thi det har jeg givet Lots Børn i Eje.
And thou shalt come neere ouer against the children of Ammon: but shalt not lay siege vnto them, nor moue warre against them: for I will not giue thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession: for I haue giuen it vnto the children of Lot for a possession.
20 (Ogsaa det henregnes til Refaiternes Land; det beboedes fordum af Refaiter, men Ammoniterne kalder dem Zamzummiter.
That also was taken for a land of gyants: for gyants dwelt therein afore time, whome the Ammonites called Zamzummims:
21 Det var et stort og talrigt Folk, kæmpestore som Anakiterne. Men HERREN udryddede dem foran dem, saa de drev dem bort og bosatte sig der i deres Sted,
A people that was great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims: but the Lord destroyed them before them, and they succeeded them in their inheritance, and dwelt in their stead:
22 ligesom han gjorde for Esaus Sønner, der bor i Se'ir, for hvem han udryddede Horiterne, saa de drev dem bort og bosatte sig der i deres Sted, og de bor der den Dag i Dag.
As he did to the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims before them, and they possessed them, and dwelt in their stead vnto this day.
23 Men Avvijiterne, der boede i Landsbyer i Egnene henimod Gaza, dem drev Kaftorerne, der var udvandret fra Kaftor, bort og bosatte sig der i deres Sted).
And the Auims which dwelt in Hazarim euen vnto Azzah, the Caphtorims which came out of Caphtor destroyed them, and dwelt in their steade.
24 Bryd nu op og gaa over Arnonfloden! Se, jeg har givet Hesjbons Konge, Amoriten Sihon, og hans Land i din Haand; giv dig kun til at drive ham bort og føre Krig med ham!
Rise vp therefore, sayd the Lord: take your iourney, and passe ouer the riuer Arnon: beholde, I haue giuen into thy hand Sihon, the Amorite, King of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possesse it and prouoke him to battell.
25 Fra i Dag af begynder jeg at vække Frygt og Rædsel for dig hos alle Folkeslag under Himmelen; blot de hører om dig, skal de ryste og bæve for dig!
This day wil I begin to send thy feare and thy dread, vpon all people vnder the whole heauen, which shall heare thy fame, and shall tremble and quake before thee.
26 Da udsendte jeg Sendebud fra Kedemots Ørken til Kong Sihon af Hesjbon med følgende fredelige Tilbud:
Then I sent messengers out of the wildernes of Kedemoth vnto Sihon King of Heshbon, with wordes of peace, saying,
27 »Lad mig drage gennem dit Land; jeg skal holde mig til Vejen uden at bøje af til højre eller venstre.
Let me passe through thy land: I will go by the hie way: I will neither turne vnto the right hand nor to the left.
28 Fødevarer at spise skal du sælge mig for Penge, og Vand at drikke skal du give mig for Penge, jeg beder kun om at maatte drage igennem til Fods,
Thou shalt sell me meate for money, for to eate, and shalt giue me water for money for to drinke: onely I will go through on my foote,
29 saaledes som Esaus Sønner, der bor i Se'ir, og Moabiterne, der bor i Ar, tillod mig, indtil jeg kommer over Jordan ind i det Land, HERREN vor Gud vil give os!«
(As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did vnto me) vntill I be come ouer Iorden, into the land which the Lord our God giueth vs.
30 Men Kong Sihon i Hesjbon vilde ikke tillade os at drage igennem; thi HERREN din Gud forhærdede hans Aand og gjorde hans Hjerte haardt for at give ham i din Haand, som det nu er sket.
But Sihon the King of Heshbon would not let vs passe by him: for the Lord thy God had hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, because hee would deliuer him into thine hand, as appeareth this day.
31 Derpaa sagde HERREN til mig: »Se, jeg har allerede begyndt at give Sihon og hans Land i din Magt; giv dig kun til at drive ham bort for at tage hans Land i Besiddelse!«
And the Lord sayd vnto me, Beholde, I haue begun to giue Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possesse and inherite his land.
32 Saa rykkede Sihon med alle sine Krigere ud imod os til Kamp ved Jaza;
Then came out Sihon to meete vs, him selfe with all his people to fight at Iahaz.
33 og HERREN vor Gud gav ham i vor Magt, og vi slog ham og hans Sønner og alle hans Krigere.
But the Lord our God deliuered him into our power, and we smote him, and his sonnes, and all his people.
34 Og vi indtog dengang alle hans Byer og lagde i enhver By Band paa Mænd, Kvinder og Børn uden at lade en eneste undslippe;
And we tooke all his cities the same time, and destroyed euery citie, men, and women, and children: we let nothing remaine.
35 kun Kvæget tog vi selv som Bytte, tillige med hvad vi røvede i de erobrede Byer.
Onely the cattell we tooke to our selues, and the spoyle of the cities which we tooke,
36 Fra Aroer ved Arnonflodens Bred og Byen, der ligger i Dalen, og til Gilead var der ikke en By, som var os uindtagelig; HERREN vor Gud gav dem alle i vor Magt.
From Aroer, which is by the banke of the riuer of Arnon, and from the citie that is vpon the riuer, euen vnto Gilead: there was not one citie that escaped vs: for the Lord our God deliuered vp all before vs.
37 Men paa Ammoniternes Land forgreb du dig ikke, hverken det, der ligger langs Jabbokfloden, eller Byerne i Bjergene, saaledes som HERREN vor Gud havde paabudt.
Onely vnto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor vnto any place of the riuer Iabbok, nor vnto the cities in the mountaines, nor vnto whatsoeuer the Lord our God forbade vs.
