5 Mosebog 3

1 Derpaa brød vi op og drog mod Basan. Og Kong Og af Basan rykkede med alle sine Krigere ud imod os til Kamp ved Edre'i.

Then we turned and went by the way of Basan: and Og the king of Basan came out to meet us with his people to fight in Edrai.

2 Da sagde HERREN til mig: »Frygt ikke for ham, thi jeg giver ham i din Haand tillige med hele hans Folk og Land, og du skal gøre ved ham, som du gjorde ved Sihon, Amoriterkongen i Hesjbon.«

And the Lord said to me: Fear him not: because he is delivered into thy hand, with all his people and his land: and thou shalt do to him as thou hast done to Sehon king of the Amorrhites, that dwelt in Hesebon.

3 Saa gav HERREN vor Gud ogsaa Kong Og af Basan og alle hans Krigere i vor Haand, og vi slog ham, saa ikke en eneste undslap.

So the Lord our God delivered into our hands, Og also the king of Basan, and all his people: and we utterly destroyed them,

4 Vi indtog dengang alle hans Byer; der var ikke een By, vi ikke fratog dem, i alt tresindstyve Byer, hele Landskabet Argob, Ogs Kongerige i Basan,

Wasting all his cities at one time, there was not a town that escaped us: sixty cities, all the country of Argob the kingdom of Og in Basan.

5 lutter Byer, der var befæstet med høje Mure, Porte og Portslaaer, foruden de mange aabne Byer;

All the cities were fenced with very high walls, and with gates and bars, besides innumerable towns that had no walls.

6 og vi lagde Band paa dem, ligesom vi havde gjort ved Kong Sihon i Hesjbon, i enhver By lagde vi Band paa Mænd, Kvinder og Børn;

And we utterly destroyed them, as we had done to Sehon the king of Hesebon, destroying every city, men and women and children:

7 men alt Kvæget, og hvad vi røvede fra Byerne, tog vi selv som Bytte.

But the cattle and the spoils of the cities we took for our prey.

8 Saaledes erobrede vi dengang Landet fra de to Amoriterkonger hinsides Jordan fra Arnonfloden til Hermonbjerget —

And we took at that time the land out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorrhites, that were beyond the Jordan: from the torrent Amen unto the mount Hermon,

9 Zidonierne kalder Hermon Sirjon, men Amoriterne kalder det Senir —

Which the Sidonians call Sarion, and the Amorrhites Sanir:

10 alle Byerne paa Højsletten, hele Gilead og hele Basan lige til Salka og Edre'i, Byer i Kong Ogs Rige i Basan.

All the cities that are situate in the plain, and all the land of Galaad and Basan as far as Selcha and Edrai, cities of the kingdom of Og in Basan.

11 (Thi Kong Og af Basan var den eneste, der endnu var tilbage af Refaiterne; hans Kiste, en Jernkiste, staar jo endnu i Rabba i Ammon, ni Alen lang og fire Alen bred efter vanligt Maal.)

For only Og king of Basan remained of the race of the giants. His bed of iron is shewn, which is in Rabbath of the children of Ammon, being nine cubits long, and four broad after the measure of the cubit of a man’s hand.

12 Saaledes tog vi dengang dette Land i Besiddelse. Landet fra Aroer, der ligger ved Arnonfloden, og Halvdelen af Gileads Bjerge med Byerne der gav jeg Rubeniterne og Gaditerne;

And we possessed the land at that time from Aroer, which is upon the bank of the torrent Amen, unto the half of mount Galaad: and I gave the cities thereof to Ruben and Gad.

13 men Resten af Gilead og hele Basan, Ogs Rige, gav jeg til Manasses halve Stamme, hele Landskabet Argob. (Det er hele dette Basan, man kalder Refaiterland.)

And I delivered the other part of Galaad, and all Basan the kingdom of Og to the half tribe of Manasses, all the country of Argob: and all Basan is called the Land of giants.

14 Manasses Søn Ja'ir erobrede hele Landskabet Argob indtil Gesjuriternes og Ma'akatiternes Egne og kaldte dem Ja'irs Teltbyer efter sig selv, som de hedder endnu den Dag i Dag.

Jair the son of Manasses possessed all the country of Argob unto the borders of Gessuri, and Machati. And he called Basan by his own name, Havoth Jair, that is to say, the towns of Jair, until this present day.

15 Og Makir gav jeg Gilead;

To Machir also I gave Galaad.

16 og Rubeniterne og Gaditerne gav jeg Landet fra Gilead til Arnonfloden med Dalens Midtlinie som Grænse og til Jabbokfloden, Ammoniternes Grænse,

And to the tribes of Ruben and Gad I gave of the land of Galaad as far as the torrent Amen, half the torrent, and the confines even unto the torrent Jeboc, which is the border of the children of Ammon:

17 og Arabalavningen med Jordan som Grænse fra Kinneret til Araba— eller Salthavet ved Foden af Pisgas Skrænter mod Øst.

And the plain of the wilderness, and the Jordan, and the borders of Cenereth unto the sea of the desert, which is the most salt sea, to the foot of mount Phasga eastward.

18 Dengang gav jeg eder følgende Paabud: »HERREN eders Gud har givet eder dette Land i Eje; men I skal, saa mange krigsdygtige Mænd I er, drage væbnede i Spidsen for eders Brødre Israeliterne —

And I commanded you at that time, saying: The Lord your God giveth you this land for an inheritance, go ye well appointed before your brethren the children of Israel, all the strong men of you,

19 kun eders Kvinder, Børn og Kvæg (jeg ved, at I har meget Kvæg) skal blive tilbage i de Byer, jeg giver eder —

Leaving your wives and children and cattle. For I know you have much cattle, and they must remain in the cities, which I have delivered to you.

20 indtil HERREN bringer eders Brødre til Hvile ligesom eder, og de ogsaa faar taget det Land i Besiddelse, som HERREN eders Gud vil give dem hinsides Jordan; saa kan enhver af eder vende tilbage til den Ejendom, jeg har givet eder!«

Until the Lord give rest to your brethren, as he hath given to you: and they also possess the land, which he will give them beyond the Jordan: then shall every man return to his possession, which I have given you.

21 Og Josua gav jeg dengang følgende Paabud: »Du har med egne Øjne set alt, hvad HERREN eders Gud har gjort ved disse to Konger; saaledes vil HERREN ogsaa gøre ved alle de Riger, du drager over til.

I commanded Josue also at that time, saying: Thy eyes have seen what the Lord your God hath done to these two kings: so will he do to all the kingdoms to which thou shalt pass.

22 Du skal ikke frygte for dem; thi HERREN eders Gud vil selv kæmpe for eder!«

Fear them not: for the Lord your God will fight for you.

23 Og dengang bad jeg saaledes til HERREN:

And I besought the Lord at that time, saying:

24 »Herre, HERRE! Du har begyndt at vise din Tjener din Storhed og din stærke Haand! Thi hvem er den Gud i Himmelen og paa Jorden, der kan gøre saadanne Gerninger og Storværker som du?

Lord God, thou hast begun to shew unto thy servant thy greatness, and most mighty hand, for there is no other God either in heaven or earth, that is able to do thy works, or to be compared to thy strength.

25 Lad mig da faa Lov at drage over og se det herlige Land hinsides Jordan, det herlige Bjergland og Libanon!«

I will pass over therefore, and will see this excellent land beyond the Jordan, and this goodly mountain, and Libanus.

26 Men HERREN var vred paa mig for eders Skyld og hørte mig ikke, men han sagde til mig: »Lad det være nok, tal ikke mere til mig om den Sag;

And the Lord was angry with me on your account and heard me not, but said to me: It is enough: speak no more to me of this matter.

27 men stig op paa Pisgas Tinde, løft dit Blik mod Vest og Nord, mod Syd og Øst, og tag det i Øjesyn. Thi du kommer ikke til at drage over Jordan dernede;

Go up to the top of Phasga, and cast thy eyes round about to the west, and to the north, and to the south, and to the east, and behold it, for thou shalt not pass this Jordan.

28 men sig Josua, hvad han skal, og sæt Mod i ham og styrk ham, thi det bliver ham, der skal drage over i Spidsen for dette Folk, og ham, der skal give dem det Land, du ser, i Eje.«

Command Josue, and encourage and strengthen him: for he shall go before this people, and shall divide unto them the land which thou shalt see.

29 Saa blev vi i Dalen lige over for Bet-Peor.

And we abode in the valley over against the temple of Phogor.
