4 Mosebog 32
1 Rubeniterne og Gaditerne havde meget Kvæg i store mængder. Da de nu saa Ja'zers Land og Gileads Land, fandt de, at Stedet egnede sig til Kvægavl.
Now the people of Reuben and the people of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that look, the place was a place for livestock;
2 Derfor kom Gaditerne og Rubeniterne og sagde til Moses og Præsten Eleazar og Menighedens Øverste:
the people of Gad and the people of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the leaders of the congregation, saying,
3 »Atarot, Dibon, Ja'zer, Nimra, Hesjbon, El'ale, Sebam, Nebo og Beon,
"Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sibmah, and Nebo, and Beon,
4 det Land, HERREN har erobret for Israels Menighed, er et Land, der egner sig til Kvægavl, og dine Trælle ejer Hjorde.«
the land which the LORD struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock."
5 Og de sagde: »Dersom vi har fundet Naade for dine Øjne, saa lad dine Trælle faa dette Land i Eje; før os ikke over Jordan!«
They said, "If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession; do not bring us over the Jordan."
6 Men Moses sagde til Gaditerne og Rubeniterne: »Skal eders Brødre drage i Krig, medens I bliver boende her?
Moses said to the people of Gad, and to the people of Reuben, "Shall your brothers go to the war, and shall you sit here?
7 Og hvorfor vil I betage Israeliterne Modet til at drage over til det Land, HERREN har givet dem?
Why do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD has given them?
8 Det gjorde eders Fædre, da jeg fra Kadesj-Barnea sendte dem hen for at se paa Landet;
Your fathers did so when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.
9 da de var draget op til Esjkoldalen og havde set paa Landet, det og de Israeliterne Modet til at drage ind i det Land, HERREN havde givet dem.
For when they went up to the Valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
10 Men HERRENS Vrede blussede den Gang op, og han svor:
The LORD's anger was kindled in that day, and he swore, saying,
11 De Mænd, der er draget op fra Ægypten, fra Tyveaarsalderen og opefter, skal ikke faa det Land at se, jeg tilsvor Abraham, Isak og Jakob, fordi de ikke viste mig fuld Lydighed,
'Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
12 med Undtagelse af Kenizziten Kaleb, Jefunnes Søn, og Josua, Nuns Søn, thi de viste HERREN fuld Lydighed!
except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; because they have followed the LORD completely.'
13 Og HERRENS Vrede blussede op mod Israel, og han lod dem vanke om i Ørkenen i fyrretyve Aar, indtil hele den Slægt var gaaet til Grunde, der gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne.
The LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, who had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.
14 Og se, I træder nu i eders Fædres Fodspor, en Yngel af Syndere, for yderligere at øge HERRENS Vrede mod Israel!
"Look, you have risen up in your fathers' place, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.
15 Naar I viger bort fra ham, vil han lade det blive endnu længer i Ørkenen, og I bringer Fordærvelse over hele dette Folk.«
For if you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and you will destroy all this people."
16 Da traadte de frem for ham og sagde: »Vi vil kun bygge Kvægfolde til vore Hjorde her og Byer til vore Familier;
They came near to him, and said, "We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones:
17 men selv vil vi ruste os til Kamp og drage i Spidsen for Israeliterne, til vi har bragt dem hen til deres Sted; imens skal vore Familier blive i de befæstede Byer i Ly for Landets Indbyggere.
but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
18 Vi vil ikke vende tilbage til vore Huse, før enhver af Israeliterne har faaet sin Arvelod;
We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
19 thi vi vil ikke have Arvelod sammen med dem paa den anden Side af Jordan og længere borte, eftersom vi har faaet vor Arvelod her paa denne Side af Jordan paa Østsiden.«
For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, and forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward."
20 Da sagde Moses til dem: »Hvis I gør det, hvis I ruster eder til Kamp for HERRENS Aasyn,
Moses said to them, "If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before the LORD to the war,
21 hvis alle eders kamprustede Mænd overskrider Jordan for HERRENS Aasyn og bliver der, indtil han har jaget sine Fjender bort fra sit Aasyn,
and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before the LORD, until he has driven out his enemies from before him,
22 og hvis I først vender tilbage, naar Landet er undertvunget for HERRENS Aasyn, skal I være sagesløse over for HERREN og Israel, og saa skal Landet her blive eders Ejendom for HERRENS Aasyn.
and the land is subdued before the LORD; then afterward you shall return, and be guiltless towards the LORD, and towards Israel; and this land shall be to you for a possession before the LORD.
23 Men hvis I ikke gør det, se, da synder I mod HERREN, og da skal I faa eders Synd at mærke, den skal nok finde eder.
"But if you will not do so, look, you have sinned against the LORD; and be sure your sin will find you out.
24 Byg eder Byer til eders Familier og Folde til eders Smaakvæg og gør, som I har sagt!«
Build cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth."
25 Da sagde Gaditerne og Rubeniterne til Moses: »Dine Trælle vil gøre, som min Herre byder;
The people of Gad and the people of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, "Your servants will do as my lord commands.
26 vore Børn, Kvinder, Hjorde og alt vort Kvæg skal blive der i Gileads Byer,
Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock, shall be there in the cities of Gilead;
27 men dine Trælle vil drage over og tage Del i Krigen, saa mange som er rustet til Kamp for HERRENS Aasyn, saaledes som min Herre har sagt.«
but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord says."
28 Saa gav Moses Præsten Eleazar og Josua, Nuns Søn, og Overhovederne for de israelitiske Stammers Fædrenehuse Befaling om dem,
So Moses commanded concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the ancestral houses of the tribes of the children of Israel.
29 og Moses sagde til dem: »Hvis Gaditerne og Rubeniterne, saa mange som er rustet til Kamp for HERRENS Aasyn, gaar over Jordan sammen med eder og Landet bliver eder underlagt, skal I give dem Gilead i Eje;
Moses said to them, "If the people of Gad and the people of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man who is armed to battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you; then you are to give them the land of Gilead for a possession.
30 men hvis de ikke gaar over sammen med eder, rustede til Kamp, skal de have Bopæl anvist blandt eder i Kana'ans Land.«
But if they will not pass over with you armed to battle before the LORD, then you are to bring over their children and their wives and their flocks before you into the land of Canaan, and they are to have possessions among you in the land of Canaan."
31 Da svarede Gaditerne og Rubeniterne: »Hvad HERREN har talt til dine Trælle, vil vi gøre;
The people of Gad and the people of Reuben answered, saying, "As the LORD has said to your servants, so will we do.
32 vi vil, rustede til Kamp for HERRENS Øjne, drage over til Kana'ans Land, men vor Arvelod paa den anden Side af Jordan bliver i vort Eje.«
We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan."
33 Da gav Moses Gaditerne, Rubeniterne og Josefs Søn Manasses halve Stamme Amoriterkongen Sihons Kongerige og Kong Og af Basans Kongerige, Landet med Byerne og deres Omraade, Landets Byer rundt om.
Moses gave to them, even to the people of Gad, and to the people of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, according to its cities and borders, even the cities of the surrounding land.
34 Saa byggede Gaditerne Dibon, Atarot, Aroer.
The people of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35 Atarot-Sjofan, Ja'zer, Jogbeha,
and Atrothshophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah,
36 Bet-Nimra, Bet-Haran, befæstede Byer, og Kvægfolde;
and Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran: fortified cities, and folds for sheep.
37 og Rubeniterne byggede Hesjbon, El'ale og Kirjatajim,
The people of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim,
38 Nebo og Ba'al-Meon, hvis Navne ændredes, og Sibma; og de opkaldte Byerne, som de byggede, efter deres Navne.
and Nebo, and Baal Meon, (their names being changed), and Sibmah: and they gave other names to the cities which they built.
39 Og Manasses Søn Makirs Sønner drog til Gilead og erobrede det og drev de der boende Amoriter bort;
The descendants of Makir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it.
40 og Moses overdrog Gilead til Manasses Søn Makir, og han bosatte sig der;
Moses gave Gilead to Makir the son of Manasseh; and he lived in it.
41 men Manasses Søn Ja'ir drog hen og erobrede deres Teltbyer og kaldte dem Ja'irs Teltbyer.
Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its towns, and called them Havvoth Jair.
42 Og Noba drog hen og erobrede Kenat med tilhørende Smaabyer og kaldte det Noba efter sit eget Navn.
Nobah went and took Kenath, and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
