Josua 3
1 Tidligt næste Morgen gjorde Josua sig rede, og hele Israel brød op fra Sjittim sammen med ham og kom til Jordan, og de tilbragte Natten der, før de drog over.
And he rose early Joshua in the morning and they set out from Shittim and they came to the Jordan he and all [the] people Israel and they stayed there before they passed over.
2 Efter tre Dages Forløb gik Tilsynsmændene omkring i Lejren
And it was from [the] end of three days and they passed the officers in [the] midst of the camp.
3 og bød Folket: »Naar I ser HERREN eders Guds Pagts Ark og Levitpræsterne komme bærende med den, saa skal I bryde op fra eders Plads og følge efter —
And they commanded the people saying when see you [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh God your and the priests the Levites carrying it and you you will set out from place your and you will go behind it.
4 dog skal der være en Afstand af 2000 Alen mellem eder og den; I maa ikke komme den for nær for at I kan vide, hvilken Vej I skal gaa; thi I er ikke kommet den Vej før!«
Nevertheless - a distance it will be between you (and between it *Q(k)*) about two thousand cubit[s] by measurement may not you draw near to it so that that you may know the way which you will go in it for not you have passed in the way from yesterday three days ago.
5 Og Josua sagde til Folket: »Helliger eder; thi i Morgen vil HERREN gøre Undere iblandt eder!«
And he said Joshua to the people consecrate yourselves for tomorrow he will do Yahweh in midst your wonders.
6 Og Josua sagde til Præsterne: »Løft Pagtens Ark op og drag over foran Folket!« Saa løftede de Pagtens Ark op og gik foran Folket.
And he said Joshua to the priests saying lift up [the] ark of the covenant and pass over before the people and they lifted up [the] ark of the covenant and they went before the people.
7 Men HERREN sagde til Josua: »I Dag begynder jeg at gøre dig stor i hele Israels Øjne, for at de kan vide, at jeg vil være med dig, som jeg var med Moses.
And he said Yahweh to Joshua the day this I will begin to make great you in [the] eyes of all Israel that they will know! that just as I was with Moses I will be with you.
8 Du skal byde Præsterne, som bærer Pagtens Ark: Naar I kommer til Kanten af Jordans Vand, skal I standse der ved Jordan!«
And you you will command the priests [the] bearers of [the] ark of the covenant saying when come you to [the] edge of [the] waters of the Jordan in the Jordan you will stand still.
9 Da sagde Josua til Israeliterne: »Kom hid og hør HERREN eders Guds Ord!«
And he said Joshua to [the] people of Israel draw near hither and hear [the] words of Yahweh God your.
10 Og Josua sagde: »Derpaa skal I kende, at der er en levende Gud iblandt eder, og at han vil drive Kana'anæerne, Hetiterne, Hivviterne, Perizziterne, Girgasjiterne, Amoriterne og Jebusiterne bort foran eder:
And he said Joshua by this you will know! that God living [is] in midst your and certainly he will dispossess from before you the Canaanite[s] and the Hittite[s] and the Hivite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Girgashite[s] and the Amorite[s] and the Jebusite[s].
11 Se, HERRENS, al Jordens Herres, Ark skal gaa foran eder gennem Jordan.
Here! [the] ark of the covenant [the] lord of all the earth [is] about to pass on before you in the Jordan.
12 Vælg eder nu tolv Mænd af Israels Stammer, een Mand af hver Stamme.
And therefore take for yourselves two [plus] ten man from [the] tribes of Israel a man one a man one to the tribe.
13 Og saa snart Præsterne, som bærer HERRENS, al Jordens Herres, Ark, sætter Foden i Jordans Vand, skal Jordans Vand standse, det Vand, som kommer ovenfra, og staa som en Vold.«
And it will be when rest [the] soles of [the] feet of the priests [the] bearers of [the] ark of Yahweh [the] lord of all the earth in [the] waters of the Jordan [the] waters of the Jordan they will be cut off! the waters that are coming down from to above so they may stand a heap one.
14 Da Folket saa brød op fra deres Telte for at gaa over Jordan med Præsterne, som bar Arken, i Spidsen,
And it was when set out the people from tents their to pass over the Jordan and the priests [the] bearers of the ark the covenant before the people.
15 og da de, som bar Arken, kom til Jordan, og Præsterne, som bar Arken, rørte ved Vandkanten med deres Fødder — Jordan gik overalt over sine Bredder i hele Høsttiden —
And just as came [the] bearers of the ark to the Jordan and [the] feet of the priests [the] bearers of the ark they were dipped in [the] edge of the waters and the Jordan it is full over all banks its all [the] days of harvest.
16 standsede Vandet, som kom ovenfra, og stod som en Vold langt borte, oppe ved Byen Adam, som ligger ved Zaretan, medens det Vand, som flød ned mod Araba— eller Salthavet, løb helt bort; saaledes gik Folket over lige over for Jeriko.
And they stood the waters which came down from to above they rose a heap one far away very (from Adam *Q(K)*) the city which [is] from [the] side of Zarethan and which went down to [the] sea of the Arabah [the] Sea of Salt they were complete they were cut off and the people they passed over before Jericho.
17 Men Præsterne, som bar HERRENS Pagts Ark, blev staaende paa tør Bund midt i Jordan, medens hele Israel gik over paa tør Bund, indtil hele Folket havde tilendebragt Overgangen over Jordan.
And they stood the priests [the] bearers of the ark [the] covenant of Yahweh on the dry ground in [the] middle of the Jordan firmly and all Israel [were] passing over on the dry ground until that they had finished all the nation to pass over the Jordan.
