And I took ancestor your Abraham from [the] other side of the river and I led him in all [the] land of Canaan (and I increased *Q(k)*) offspring his and I gave to him Isaac.

4 Og Isak skænkede jeg Jakob og Esau, og Esau gav jeg Se'irs Bjerge i Eje, medens Jakob og hans Sønner drog ned til Ægypten.

And I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau and I gave to Esau [the] mountain of Seir to take possession of it and Jacob and sons his they went down Egypt.

5 Derpå sendte jeg Moses og Aron, og jeg plagede Ægypterne med de Gerninger, jeg øvede iblandt dem, og derefter førte jeg eder ud;

And I sent Moses and Aaron and I struck Egypt just as I did in midst its and after I brought out you.

6 og da jeg førte eders Fædre ud af Ægypten, og I var kommet til Havet, satte Ægypterne efter eders Fædre med Stridsvogne og Ryttere til det røde Hav.

And I brought out fathers your from Egypt and you came the sea towards and they pursued Egypt after fathers your with chariotry and with horsemen [the] sea of reed[s].

7 Da råbte de til HERREN, og han satte Mørke mellem eder og Ægypterne og bragte Havet over dem, så det dækkede dem; og I så med egne Øjne, hvad jeg gjorde ved Ægypterne. Og da I havde opholdt eder en Tid lang i Ørkenen,

And they cried out to Yahweh and he put darkness between you - and between the Egyptians and he brought over it the sea and it covered it and they saw eyes your [that] which I did in Egypt and you dwelt in the wilderness days many.

8 førte jeg eder ind i Amoriternes Land hinsides Jordan, og da de angreb eder, gav jeg dem i eders Hånd, så I tog deres Land i Besiddelse, og jeg tilintetgjorde dem foran eder.

(And I brought *Q(K)*) you to [the] land of the Amorite[s] who dwelt on [the] other side of the Jordan and they fought with you and I gave them in hand your and you took possession of land their and I destroyed them from before you.

And he arose Balak [the] son of Zippor [the] king of Moab and he fought against Israel and he sent and he summoned Balaam [the] son of Beor to curse you.

10 men jeg vilde ikke bønhøre Bileam, og han måtte velsigne eder; således friede jeg eder af hans Hånd.

And not I was willing to listen to Balaam and he blessed continuously you and I delivered you from hand his.

11 Derpå gik I over Jordan og kom til Jeriko; og Indbyggerne i Jeriko, Amoriterne, Perizziterne, Kana'anæerne, Hetiterne, Girgasjiterne, Hivviterne og Jebusiterne angreb eder, men jeg gav dem i eders Hånd.

And you passed over the Jordan and you came to Jericho and they fought against you [the] citizens of Jericho the Amorite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Canaanite[s] and the Hittite[s] and the Girgashite[s] the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s] and I gave them in hand your.

12 Jeg sendte Gedehamse foran eder, og de drev de tolv Amoriterkonger bort foran eder; det skete ikke ved dit Sværd eller din Bue.

And I sent before you the hornet and it drove out them from before you [the] two [the] kings of the Amorite[s] not by sword your and not by bow your.

13 Og jeg gav eder et Land, I ikke havde haft Arbejde med, og Byer, I ikke havde bygget, og I tog Bolig i dem; af Vinhaver og Oliventræer, I ikke plantede, nyder I nu Frugten.

And I gave to you a land - which not you had labored for it and cities which not you had built and you dwelt in them vineyards and olive trees which not you had planted you [are] eating.

15 Men hvis I ikke synes om at tjene HERREN, så vælg i Dag, hvem I vil tjene, de Guder, eders Forfædre dyrkede hinsides Floden, eller Amoriternes Guder, i hvis Land I nu bor. Men jeg og mit Hus, vi vil tjene HERREN!"

16 Da svarede Folket: "Det være langt fra os at forlade HERREN for at dyrke andre Guder;

And it answered the people and it said far be it to us from forsaking Yahweh to serve gods other.

17 nej, HERREN er vor Gud, han, som førte os og vore Fædre op fra Ægypten, fra Trællehuset, og gjorde hine store Tegn for vore Øjne og bevarede os under hele vor Vandring og blandt alle de Folk, hvis Lande vi drog igennem;

For Yahweh God our he [is] the [one who] brought up us and fathers our from [the] land of Egypt from a house of slaves and [the one] who he did to eyes our the signs great these and he kept us in all the way which we went in it and among all the peoples which we passed in midst their.

21 Da sagde Folket til Josua: "Nej HERREN vil vi tjene!"

And it said the people to Joshua In-deed Yahweh we will serve.

22 Josua sagde da til Folket: "I er Vidner imod eder selv på, at I har valgt at tjene HERREN.

And he said Joshua to the people [are] witnesses you on yourselves that you you have chosen for yourselves Yahweh to serve him and they said witnesses.

23 Så skaf da de fremmede Guder bort, som I har hos eder, og bøj eders Hjerte til HERREN, Israels Gud!"

25 Derpå lod Josua samme bag Folket indgå en Pagt, og han fastsatte det Lov og Ret i Sikem.

And he made Joshua a covenant to the people on the day that and he established for it a decree and a judgment at Shechem.

26 Og Josua opskrev disse Ord i Guds Lovbog; og han tog en stor Sten og rejste den der under den Eg, som står i HERRENs Helligdom;

And he wrote Joshua the words these in [the] book of [the] law of God and he took a stone large and he set up it there under the oak which [was] at [the] sanctuary of Yahweh.

27 og Josua sagde til hele Folket: "Se, Stenen her skal være Vidne imod os; thi den har hørt alle HERRENs Ord, som han talede til os; den skal være Vidne imod eder; at I ikke skal fornægte eders Gud!"

And he said Joshua to all the people here! the stone this it will become on us a witness for it it has heard all [the] words of Yahweh which he has spoken with us and it will become on you a witness lest you should deny! God your.

28 Derpå lod Josua Folket drage bort hver til sin Arvelod.
