5 Mosebog 2
1 Så vendte vi om og brød op til Ørkenen i Retning af det røde Hav, således som HERREN havde pålagt mig, og i lang Tid vandrede vi rundt om Seirs Bjerge.
And we turned and departed into the wilderness, by the way of the Red Sea, as the Lord spoke to me, and we compassed mount Seir many days.
2 Da sagde HERREN til mig:
And the Lord said to me,
3 "Nu har I længe nok vandret rundt om Bjergene her; vend eder nu mod Nord!
Ye have compassed this mount long enough; turn therefore toward the north.
4 Men byd Folket og sig: Når I nu drager igennem eders Brødres, Esaus Sønners, Landemærker, de, som bor i Seir, og de bliver bange for eder, så skal I tage eder vel i Vare
And charge the people, saying, Ye are going through the borders of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they shall fear you, and dread you greatly.
5 for at indlade eder i Krig med dem; thi jeg vil ikke give eder så meget som en Fodsbred af deres Land; thi Esau har jeg givet Seirs Bjerge i Arv og Eje.
Do not engage in war against them, for I will not give you of their land even enough to set your foot upon, for I have given mount Seir to the children of Esau as an inheritance.
6 Fødevarer at spise skal I købe af dem for Penge, også Vand at drikke skal I købe af dem for Penge;
Buy food of them for money and eat, and ye shall receive water of them by measure for money, and drink.
7 thi HERREN din Gud har velsignet dig i alt, hvad du har taget dig for, han har sørget for dig på din Vandring gennem denne store Ørken; i fyrretyve År har, HERREN din Gud nu været med dig, du har ikke manglet noget."
For the Lord our God has blessed thee in every work of thy hands. Consider how thou wentest through that great and terrible wilderness: behold, the Lord thy God [has been] with thee forty years; thou didst not lack any thing.
8 Derpå drog vi fra Elat og Ezjongeber ad Arabavejen gennem vore Brødres, Esaus Sønners Land, de, som bor i Se'ir; så drejede vi af og drog videre ad Vejen til Moabs Ørken.
And we passed by our brethren the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, by the way of Araba from Aelon and from Gesion Gaber; and we turned and passed by the way of the desert of Moab.
9 Og HERREN sagde til mig: "Du må 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 the Lord said to me, Do not ye quarrel with the Moabites, and do not engage in war with them; for I will not give you of their land for an inheritance, for I have given Aroer to the children of Lot to inherit.
10 Fordum beboedes det af Emiterne, et stort og talrigt Folk, kæmpestore som Anakiterne;
Formerly the Ommin dwelt in it, a great and numerous nation and powerful, like the Enakim.
11 også de henregnes ligesom Anakiterne til Refaiterne, men Moabiterne kalder dem Emiter.
These also shall be accounted Raphain like the Enakim; and the Moabites call them Ommin.
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 the Chorrhite dwelt in Seir before, and the sons of Esau destroyed them, and utterly consumed them from before them; and they dwelt in their place, as Israel did to the land of his inheritance, which the Lord gave to them.
13 Bryd nu op og gå over Zeredbækken! Så gik vi over Zeredbækken.
Now then, arise ye, [said I], and depart, and cross the valley of Zaret.
14 Der var gået otte og tredive År fra vort Opbrud fra Kadesj Barnea, til vi gik over Zeredbækken, til hele din Slægt af våbenføre Mænd var uddød af Lejren, således som HERREN havde svoret dem;
And the days in which we traveled from Cades Barne till we crossed the valley of Zaret, [were] thirty and eight years, until the whole generation of the men of war failed, dying out of the camp, as the Lord God sware to them.
15 også HERRENs Hånd havde været imod dem, så de blev udryddet af Lejren til sidste Mand.
And the hand of the Lord was upon them to destroy them out of the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
16 Men da alle våbenføre Mænd var uddøde af Folket,
And it came to pass when all the men of war dying out of the midst of the people had fallen,
17 talede HERREN til mig og sagde:
that the Lord spoke to me, saying,
18 Når du nu drager gennem Moabs Landemærker, gennem Ar,
Thou shalt pass over this day the borders of Moab to Aroer;
19 og således når hen til Ammoniterne, så må 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 ye shall draw nigh to the children of Amman: do not quarrel with them, nor wage war with them; for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Amman for an inheritance, because I have given it to the children of Lot for an inheritance.
20 Også det henregnes til Refaiternes Land; det beboedes fordum af Refaiter, men Ammoniterne kalder dem Zamzummiter.
It shall be accounted a land of Raphain, for the Raphain dwelt there before, and the Ammanites call them Zochommin.
21 Det var et stort og talrigt Folk, kæmpestore som Anakiterne. Men HERREN udryddede dem foran dem, så de drev dem bort og bosatte sig der i deres Sted,
A great nation and populous, and mightier than you, as also the Enakim: yet the Lord destroyed them from before them, and they inherited [their land], and they dwelt [there] instead of them until this day.
22 ligesom han gjorde for Esaus Sønner, der bor i Se'ir, for hvem han udryddede Horiterne, så de drev dem bort og bosatte sig der i deres Sted, og de bor der den Dag i dag.
As they did to the children of Esau that dwell in Seir, even as they destroyed the Chorrhite from before them, and inherited their country, and dwelt [therein] instead of them until 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.
And the Evites who dwell in Asedoth to Gaza, and the Cappadocians who came out of Cappadocia, destroyed them, and dwelt in their room.
24 Bryd nu op og gå over Arnonfloden! Se, jeg har givet Hesjbons Konge, Amoriten Sihon, og hans Land i din Hånd; giv dig kun til at drive ham bort og føre Krig med ham!
Now then arise and depart, and pass over the valley of Arnon: behold, I have delivered into thy hands Seon the king of Esebon the Amorite, and his land: begin to inherit [it]: engage in war with him this day.
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!
Begin to put thy terror and thy fear on the face of all the nations under heaven, who shall be troubled when they have heard thy name, and shall be in anguish before thee.
26 Da udsendte jeg Sendebud fra Kedemots Ørken til Kong Sihon af Hesjbon med følgende fredelige Tilbud:
And I sent ambassadors from the wilderness of Kedamoth to Seon king of Esebon with peaceable words, saying,
27 "Lad mig drage gennem dit Land; jeg skal holde mig til Vejen uden at bøje af til højre eller venstre.
I will pass through thy land: I will go by the road, I will not turn aside to the right hand or to the 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 måtte drage igennem til Fods,
Thou shalt give me food for money, and I will eat; and thou shalt give me water for money, and I will drink; I will only go through on my feet:
29 således 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 did to me, who dwelt in Seir, and the Moabites who dwelt in Aroer, until I shall have passed Jordan into the land which the Lord our God gives us.
30 Men Kong Sihon i Hesjbon vilde ikke tillade os at drage igennem; thi HERREN din Gud forhærdede hans Ånd og gjorde hans Hjerte hårdt for at give ham i din Hånd, som det nu er sket.
And Seon king of Esebon would not that we should pass by him, because the Lord our God hardened his spirit, and made his heart stubborn, that he might be delivered into thy hands, as on this day.
31 Derpå 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 the Lord said to me, Behold, I have begun to deliver before thee Seon the king of Esebon the Amorite, and his land, and do thou begin to inherit his land.
32 Så rykkede Sihon med alle sine Krigere ud imod os til Kamp ved Jaza;
And Seon the king of Esebon came forth to meet us, he and all his people to war at Jassa.
33 og HERREN vor Gud gav ham i vor Magt, og vi slog ham og hans Sønner og alle hans Krigere.
And the Lord our God delivered him before our face, and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
34 Og vi indtog dengang alle hans Byer og lagde i enhver By Band på Mænd, Kvinder og Børn uden at lade en eneste undslippe;
And we took possession of all his cities at that time, and we utterly destroyed every city in succession, and their wives, and their children; we left no living prey.
35 kun Kvæget tog vi selv som Bytte, tillige med hvad vi røvede i de erobrede Byer.
Only we took the cattle captive, and took the spoil of the cities.
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 brink of the brook of Arnon, and the city which is in the valley, and as far as the mount of Galaad; there was not a city which escaped us: the Lord our God delivered all of them into our hands.
37 Men på Ammoniternes Land forgreb du dig ikke, hverken det, der ligger langs Jabbokfloden, eller Byerne i Bjergene, således som HERREN vor Gud havde påbudt.
Only we did not draw near to the children of Amman, even all the parts bordering on the brook Jaboc, and the cities in the mountain country, as the Lord our God charged us.
