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.
'And we turn, and journey into the wilderness, the way of the Red Sea, as Jehovah hath spoken unto me, and we go round the mount of Seir many days.
2 Da sagde HERREN til mig:
'And Jehovah speaketh unto me, saying,
3 »Nu har I længe nok vandret rundt om Bjergene her; vend eder nu mod Nord!
Enough to you — is the going round of this mount; turn for yourselves 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 the people command thou, saying, Ye are passing over into the border of your brethren, sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, and they are afraid of you; and ye have been very watchful,
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 do not strive with them, for I do not give to you of their land even the treading of the sole of a foot; for a possession to Esau I have given mount Seir.
6 Fødevarer at spise skal I købe af dem for Penge, ogsaa Vand at drikke skal I købe af dem for Penge;
'Food ye buy from them with money, and have eaten; and also water ye buy from them with money, and have drunk,
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 Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hands; He hath known thy walking in this great wilderness these forty years; Jehovah thy God [is] with thee; thou hast not lacked anything.
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 we pass by from our brethren, sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, by the way of the plain, by Elath, and by Ezion-Gaber; and we turn, and pass over the way of the wilderness 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.
and Jehovah saith unto me, Do not distress Moab, nor stir thyself up against them [in] battle, for I do not give to thee of their land [for] a possession; for to the sons of Lot I have given Ar [for] a possession.'
10 (Fordum beboedes det af Emiterne, et stort og talrigt Folk, kæmpestore som Anakiterne;
'The Emim formerly have dwelt in it, a people great, and numerous, and tall, as the Anakim;
11 ogsaa de henregnes ligesom Anakiterne til Refaiterne, men Moabiterne kalder dem Emiter.
Rephaim they are reckoned, they also, as the Anakim; and the Moabites call them Emim.
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.)
And in Seir have the Horim dwelt formerly; and the sons of Esau dispossess them, and destroy them from before them, and dwell in their stead, as Israel hath done to the land of his possession, which Jehovah hath given to them;
13 Bryd nu op og gaa over Zeredbækken!« Saa gik vi over Zeredbækken.
now, rise ye, and pass over for yourselves the brook Zered; and we pass over the brook 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;
'And the days which we have walked from Kadesh-Barnea until that we have passed over the brook Zered, [are] thirty and eight years, till the consumption of all the generation of the men of battle from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah hath sworn to them;
15 ogsaa HERRENS Haand havde været imod dem, saa de blev udryddet af Lejren til sidste Mand.
and also the hand of Jehovah hath been against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, till they are consumed.
16 Men da alle vaabenføre Mænd var uddøde af Folket,
'And it cometh to pass, when all the men of battle have finished dying from the midst of the people,
17 talede HERREN til mig og sagde:
that Jehovah speaketh unto me, saying,
18 Naar du nu drager gennem Moabs Landemærker, gennem Ar,
Thou art passing over to-day the border of Moab, even Ar,
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 hast come near over-against the sons of Ammon, thou dost not distress them, nor stir up thyself against them, for I do not give [any] of the land of the sons of Ammon to thee [for] a possession; for to the sons of Lot I have given it [for] a possession.
20 (Ogsaa det henregnes til Refaiternes Land; det beboedes fordum af Refaiter, men Ammoniterne kalder dem Zamzummiter.
'A land of Rephaim it is reckoned, even it; Rephaim dwelt in it formerly, and the Ammonites call them Zamzummim;
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 great, and numerous, and tall, as the Anakim, and Jehovah destroyeth them before them, and they dispossess them, and dwell 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 hath done for the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, when He destroyed the Horim from before them, and they dispossess them, and dwell in their stead, unto 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).
'As to the Avim who are dwelling in Hazerim unto Azzah, the Caphtorim — who are coming out from Caphtor — have destroyed them, and dwell in their stead.
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 ye, journey and pass over the brook Arnon; see, I have given into thy hand Sihon king of Heshbon, the Amorite, and his land; begin to possess, and stir up thyself against him [in] battle.
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 I begin to put thy dread and thy fear on the face of the peoples under the whole heavens, who hear thy fame, and have trembled and been pained because of thee.
26 Da udsendte jeg Sendebud fra Kedemots Ørken til Kong Sihon af Hesjbon med følgende fredelige Tilbud:
'And I send messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth, unto Sihon king of Heshbon, — words 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 pass over through thy land; in the several ways I go; I turn not aside — right or 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,
food for money thou dost sell me, and I have eaten; and water for money thou dost give to me, and I have drunk; only, let me pass over on my feet, —
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 sons of Esau who are dwelling in Seir, and the Moabites who are dwelling in Ar, have done to me — till that I pass over the Jordan, unto the land which Jehovah our God is giving to us.
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.
'And Sihon king of Heshbon hath not been willing to let us pass over by him, for Jehovah thy God hath hardened his spirit, and strengthened his heart, so as to give him into thy hand as at 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 Jehovah saith unto me, See, I have begun to give before thee Sihon and his land; begin to possess — to possess his land.
32 Saa rykkede Sihon med alle sine Krigere ud imod os til Kamp ved Jaza;
'And Sihon cometh out to meet us, he and all his people, to battle to Jahaz;
33 og HERREN vor Gud gav ham i vor Magt, og vi slog ham og hans Sønner og alle hans Krigere.
and Jehovah our God giveth him before us, and we smite him, and his sons, 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 capture all his cities at that time, and devote the whole city, men, and the women, and the infants — we have not left a remnant;
35 kun Kvæget tog vi selv som Bytte, tillige med hvad vi røvede i de erobrede Byer.
only, the cattle we have spoiled for ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we have captured.
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 edge of the brook Arnon, and the city which [is] by the brook, even unto Gilead there hath not been a city which [is] too high for us; the whole hath Jehovah our God given before us.
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.
'Only, unto the land of the sons of Ammon thou hast not drawn near, any part of the brook Jabbok, and cities of the hill-country, and anything which Jehovah our God hath [not] commanded.
