Josua 10
1 Da Kong Adonizedek af Jerusalem hørte, at Josua havde indtaget Aj og lagt Band paa det som han havde gjort ved Jeriko og Kongen der, gjorde han ved Aj og Kongen der og at Gibeons Indbyggere havde sluttet Overenskomst med Israel og var optaget imellem dem,
And it comes to pass, when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem hears that Joshua has captured Ai, and devotes it (as he had done to Jericho and to her king so he has done to Ai and to her king), and that the inhabitants of Gibeon have made peace with Israel, and are in their midst—
2 saa paakom der ham stor Frygt; thi Gibeon var en stor By, som en af Kongsbyerne, større end Aj, og alle Mændene der var tapre Krigere.
that they are greatly afraid, because Gibeon [is] a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it [is] greater than Ai, and all its men [are] heroes.
3 Derfor sendte Kong Adonizedek af Jerusalem Bud til Kong Hoham af Hebron, Kong Pir'am af Jarmut, Kong Jafia af Lakisj og Kong Debir af Eglon og lod sige:
And Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sends to Hoham king of Hebron, and to Piram king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,
4 »Kom op til mig og hjælp mig med at slaa Gibeon, thi det har sluttet Overenskomst med Josua og Israeliterne!«
“Come up to me, and help me, and we strike Gibeon, for it has made peace with Joshua, and with the sons of Israel.”
5 Da samledes fem Amoriterkonger, Kongerne i Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmut, Lakisj og Eglon, og de drog op med hele deres Hær og slog Lejr uden for Gibeon og angreb det.
And five kings of the Amorite (the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon) are gathered together, and go up, they and all their camps, and encamp against Gibeon, and fight against it.
6 Men Mændene i Gibeon sendte Bud til Josua i Lejren i Gilgal og lod sige: »Lad ikke dine Trælle i Stikken, men kom hurtigt op til os, hjælp os og staa os bi; thi alle Amoriterkongerne, som bor i Bjergene, har samlet sig imod os!«
And the men of Gibeon send to Joshua, to the camp at Gilgal, saying, “Do not let your hand cease from your servants; come up to us [with] haste, and give safety to us, and help us; for all the kings of the Amorite, dwelling in the hill-country, have been assembled against us.”
7 Da drog Josua op fra Gilgal med alle Krigerne, alle de kampdygtige Mænd.
And Joshua goes up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, even all the mighty men of valor.
8 Og HERREN sagde til Josua: »Frygt ikke for dem, thi jeg giver dem i din Haand; ikke een af dem skal kunne holde Stand imod dig!«
And YHWH says to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for I have given them into your hand, there does not stand a man of them in your presence.”
9 Og Josua faldt pludselig over dem, efter at han i Nattens Løb var draget derop fra Gilgal,
And Joshua comes to them suddenly (all the night he has gone up from Gilgal),
10 og HERREN bragte dem i Uorden foran Israel og tilføjede dem et stort Nederlag ved Gibeon; og de forfulgte dem hen imod Opgangen ved Bet-Horon og slog dem lige til Azeka og Makkeda.
and YHWH crushes them before Israel, and strikes them [with] a great striking at Gibeon, and pursues them the way of the ascent of Beth-Horon, and strikes them to Azekah, and to Makkedah.
11 Og da de flygtede for Israeliterne og netop var paa Skraaningen ved Bet-Horon, lod HERREN store Sten falde ned paa dem fra Himmelen helt hen til Azeka, saa de døde; og de, som dræbtes af Haglstenene, var flere end dem, Israeliterne dræbte med Sværdet.
And it comes to pass, in their fleeing from the face of Israel—they [are] in the descent of Beth-Horon—and YHWH has cast great stones on them out of the heavens, to Azekah, and they die; more are they who have died by the hailstones than they whom the sons of Israel have slain by the sword.
12 Ved den Lejlighed, den Dag HERREN gav Amoriterne i Israeliternes Magt, talte Josua til HERREN og sagde i Israels Nærværelse: »Sol, stat stille i Gibeon, og Maane i Ajjalons Dal!«
Then Joshua speaks to YHWH in the day of YHWH’s giving up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he says before the eyes of Israel, “Sun—stand still in Gibeon; and moon—in the Valley of Ajalon”;
13 Og Solen stod stille, og Maanen standsed, til Folket fik Hævn over Fjenden. Saaledes staar der jo skrevet i de Oprigtiges Bog. Og Solen blev staaende midt paa Himmelen og tøvede næsten en hel Dag med at gaa ned.
and the sun stands still, and the moon has stood—until the nation takes vengeance [on] its enemies; is it not written on the Scroll of the Upright, “and the sun stands in the midst of the heavens, and has not hurried to go in—as a perfect day?”
14 Og hverken før eller siden har der nogen Sinde været en Dag som denne, en Dag, da HERREN adlød et Menneskes Røst; thi HERREN kæmpede for Israel.
And there has not been like that day before it or after it, for YHWH’s listening to the voice of a man; for YHWH is fighting for Israel.
15 Derpaa vendte Josua med hele Israel tilbage til Lejren i Gilgal.
And Joshua turns back, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.
16 Men de fem Konger flygtede og skjulte sig i Hulen ved Makkeda.
And these five kings flee, and are hidden in a cave at Makkedah,
17 Og der blev bragt Josua den Melding: »De fem Konger er fundet skjulte i Hulen ved Makkeda.«
and it is declared to Joshua, saying, “The five kings have been found hidden in a cave at Makkedah.”
18 Da sagde Josua: »Vælt store Sten for Hulens Indgang og sæt nogle Mænd udenfor til at vogte den.
And Joshua says, “Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave, and appoint men over it to watch them;
19 Men I andre maa ikke standse, forfølg eders Fjender, hug Efternølerne ned og lad dem ikke komme ind i deres Byer; thi HERREN eders Gud har givet dem i eders Haand!«
and you, do not stand, pursue after your enemies, and you have struck them from the rear; do not permit them to go into their cities, for your God YHWH has given them into your hand.”
20 Da Josua og Israeliterne saa havde tilføjet dem et meget stort Nederlag og gjort det helt af med dem — kun enkelte undslap og reddede sig ind i de befæstede Byer —
And it comes to pass, when Joshua and the sons of Israel finish to strike them [with] a very great striking until they are consumed, and the remnant who have remained of them go into the fortified cities,
21 vendte hele Folket uskadt tilbage til Josua i Lejren ved Makkeda, uden at nogen havde vovet saa meget som at knurre imod Israeliterne.
that all the people return to the camp, to Joshua, [at] Makkedah, in peace; none moved his tongue sharply against the sons of Israel.
22 Da sagde Josua: »Luk op for Hulens Indgang og før de fem Konger ud af Hulen til mig!«
And Joshua says, “Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out to me these five kings from the cave”;
23 Det gjorde de saa og førte de fem Konger ud af Hulen til ham, Kongerne af Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmut, Lakisj og Eglon.
and they do so, and bring out to him these five kings from the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.
24 Da de nu havde ført disse fem Konger ud til Josua, kaldte Josua alle Israels Mænd sammen og sagde til Krigsøversterne, som var draget med ham: »Kom hid og sæt Foden paa disse Kongers Nakke!« Og de kom og satte Foden paa deres Nakke.
And it comes to pass, when they bring out these kings to Joshua, that Joshua calls to every man of Israel, and says to the captains of the men of war, who have gone with him, “Draw near, set your feet on the necks of these kings”; and they draw near, and set their feet on their necks.
25 Da sagde Josua til dem: »Frygt ikke og vær ikke bange, vær frimodige og stærke! Thi saaledes vil HERREN handle med alle eders Fjender, som I kommer til at kæmpe med!«
And Joshua says to them, “Do not fear, nor be frightened; be strong and courageous; for thus does YHWH do to all your enemies with whom you are fighting”;
26 Derefter lod Josua dem nedhugge og dræbe og ophænge paa fem Pæle, og de blev hængende paa Pælene til Aften.
and Joshua strikes them afterward, and puts them to death, and hangs them on five trees; and they are hanging on the trees until the evening.
27 Men ved Solnedgang lod Josua dem tage ned af Pælene og kaste ind i den Hule, de havde skjult sig i, og for Indgangen til Hulen væltede man store Sten, som ligger der den Dag i Dag.
And it comes to pass, at the time of the going in of the sun, Joshua has commanded, and they take them down from off the trees, and cast them into the cave where they had been hid, and put great stones on the mouth of the cave until this very day.
28 Makkeda indtog Josua samme Dag, og han slog Byen og dens Konge ned med Sværdet; han lagde Band paa den og paa hver levende Sjæl i den uden at lade nogen undkomme; og han gjorde det samme ved Makkedas Konge, som han havde gjort ved Jerikos Konge.
And Joshua has captured Makkedah on that day, and he strikes it by the mouth of the sword, and he has devoted its king, them and every person who [is] in it—he has not left a remnant; and he does to the king of Makkedah as he did to the king of Jericho.
29 Derpaa drog Josua med hele Israel fra Makkeda til Libna, og han angreb Libna;
And Joshua passes over, and all Israel with him, from Makkedah [to] Libnah, and fights with Libnah;
30 og HERREN gav ogsaa denne By og dens Konge i Israels Haand, og den og hver levende Sjæl i den slog han ned med Sværdet uden at lade nogen undkomme; og han gjorde det samme ved dens Konge, som de havde gjort ved Jerikos Konge.
and YHWH also gives it into the hand of Israel, and its king, and [Joshua] strikes it by the mouth of the sword, and every person who [is] in it—he does not leave a remnant in it; and he does to its king as he did to the king of Jericho.
31 Derpaa drog Josua med hele Israel fra Libna til Lakisj, og han slog Lejr udenfor og angreb Byen;
And Joshua passes over, and all Israel with him, from Libnah to Lachish, and encamps against it, and fights against it.
32 og HERREN gav Lakisj i Israels Haand, og den følgende Dag indtog han Byen, og den og hver levende Sjæl i den slog han ned med Sværdet, ganske som han havde gjort ved Libna.
And YHWH gives Lachish into the hand of Israel, and [Joshua] captures it on the second day, and strikes it by the mouth of the sword, and every person who [is] in it, according to all that he did to Libnah.
33 Da rykkede Kong Horam af Gezer Lakisj til Hjælp; men Josua slog ham og hans Folk ned uden at lade nogen undkomme.
Then Horam king of Gezer has come up to help Lachish, and Joshua strikes him and his people, until he has not left a remnant to him.
34 Saa drog Josua med hele Israel fra Lakisj til Eglon, og de slog Lejr udenfor og angreb Byen;
And Joshua passes over, and all Israel with him, from Lachish to Eglon, and they encamp against it, and fight against it,
35 og de indtog den samme Dag og slog den ned med Sværdet; og paa hver levende Sjæl i den lagde han den Dag Band, ganske som han havde gjort ved Lakisj.
and capture it on that day, and strike it by the mouth of the sword, and every person who [is] in it he has devoted on that day, according to all that he did to Lachish.
36 Derpaa drog Josua med hele Israel op fra Eglon til Hebron, og de angreb Byen
And Joshua goes up, and all Israel with him, from Eglon to Hebron, and they fight against it,
37 og indtog den og slog den ned med Sværdet, baade Kongen der og alle de Byer, der hørte under den, og hver levende Sjæl i den uden at lade nogen undkomme, ganske som han havde gjort ved Eglon, og han lagde Band paa Byen og hver levende Sjæl i den.
and capture it, and strike it by the mouth of the sword, and its king, and all its cities, and every person who [is] in it—he has not left a remnant—according to all that he did to Eglon—and devotes it, and every person who [is] in it.
38 Derpaa vendte Josua sig med hele Israel imod Debir og angreb Byen;
And Joshua turns back, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fights against it,
39 og han undertvang den tillige med dens Konge og alle de Byer der hørte under den; og de slog dem ned med Sværdet og lagde Band paa hver levende Sjæl i dem uden at lade nogen undkomme; det samme, han havde gjort ved Hebron og ved Libna og Kongen der, gjorde han ogsaa ved Debir og Kongen der.
and captures it, and its king, and all its cities, and they strike them by the mouth of the sword, and devote every person who [is] in it—he has not left a remnant; as he did to Hebron so he did to Debir, and to its king, and as he did to Libnah, and to its king.
40 Saaledes slog Josua hele Landet, Bjerglandet, Sydlandet, Lavlandet og Bjergskraaningerne og alle Kongerne der uden at lade nogen undkomme, og paa hver levende Sjæl lagde han Band, saaledes som HERREN, Israels Gud, havde paabudt;
And Joshua strikes all the land of the hill-country, and of the south, and of the low-country, and of the springs, and all their kings—he has not left a remnant, and he has devoted all that breathe, as YHWH, God of Israel, commanded.
41 Josua slog dem fra Kadesj-Barnea indtil Gaza, og hele Landskabet Gosjen indtil Gibeon.
And Joshua strikes them from Kadesh-Barnea, even to Gaza, and all the land of Goshen, even to Gibeon;
42 Og alle hine Konger og deres Lande undertvang Josua med et Slag; thi HERREN, Israels Gud, kæmpede for Israel.
and Joshua has captured all these kings and their land [at] one time, for YHWH, God of Israel, is fighting for Israel.
43 Derpaa vendte Josua med hele Israel tilbage til Lejren i Gilgal.
And Joshua turns back, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.
