Dommer 2
1 HERRENs Engel drog fra Gilgal op til Betel. Og han sagde: "Jeg førte eder op fra Ægypten og bragte eder ind i det Land, jeg tilsvor eders Fædre. Og jeg sagde: Jeg vil i Evighed ikke bryde min Pagt med eder!
And he went up [the] angel of Yahweh from Gilgal to Bokim. And he said I brought up you from Egypt and I brought you into the land which I swore to ancestors your and I said not I will break covenant my with you for ever.
2 Men I må ikke slutte Pagt med dette Lands Indbyggere; deres Altre skal I bryde ned! Men t adlød ikke min Røst! Hvad har I dog gjort!
And you not you must make a covenant to [the] inhabitants of the land this altars their you will pull down! and not you have listened to voice my what? this have you done.
3 Derfor siger jeg nu: Jeg vil ikke drive dem bort foran eder, men de skal blive Brodde i eders Sider, og deres Guder skal blive eder en Snare!"
And also I say not I will drive out them from before you and they will become for you sides and gods their they will become for you a snare.
4 Da HERRENs Engel talede disse Ord til alle Israelitterne, brast Folket i Gråd.
And it was when spoke [the] angel of Yahweh the words these to all [the] people of Israel and they lifted up the people voice their and they wept.
5 Derfor kaldte man Stedet Bokim. Og de ofrede til HERREN der.
And they called [the] name of the place that Bokim and they sacrificed there to Yahweh.
6 Da Josua havde ladet Folket fare, drog Israelitterne hver til sin Arvelod for at tage Landet i Besiddelse.
And he sent away Joshua the people and they went [the] people of Israel everyone to own inheritance his to take possession of the land.
7 Og Folket dyrkede HERREN, så længe Josua levede, og så længe de Ældste var i Live, som overlevede Josua og havde set hele det Storværk, HERREN havde øvet for Israel.
And they served the people Yahweh all [the] days of Joshua and all - [the] days of the old [men] who they made long days after Joshua who they had seen all [the] work of Yahweh great which he had done for Israel.
8 Og Josua, Nuns Søn, HERRENs Tjener, døde, 110 År gammel;
And he died Joshua [the] son of Nun [the] servant of Yahweh a son of a hundred and ten years.
9 og de jordede ham på hans Arvelod i Timnat-Heres i Efraims Bjerge norden for Bjerget Ga'asj.
And people buried him in [the] territory of inheritance his in Timnath Heres in [the] hill country of Ephraim from [the] north of [the] mountain of Gaash.
10 Men også hele hin Slægt samledes til sine Fædre, og efter dem kom en anden Slægt, som hverken kendte HERREN eller det Værk, han havde øvet for Israel.
And also all the generation that they gathered to ancestors its and it arose a generation another after them which not they knew Yahweh and also the work which he had done for Israel.
11 Da gjorde Israelitterne, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, og dyrkede Ba'alerne;
And they did [the] people of Israel the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh and they served the Baals.
12 de forlod HERREN, deres Fædres Gud, som havde ført dem ud af Ægypten, og holdt sig til andre Guder, de omboende Folks Guder, og tilbad dem og krænkede HERREN.
And they forsook Yahweh - [the] God of ancestors their who brought out them from [the] land of Egypt and they went after - gods other some of [the] gods of the peoples which [were] around them and they bowed down to them and they provoked to anger Yahweh.
13 De forlod HERREN og dyrkede Ba'al og Astarte.
And they forsook Yahweh and they served the Baal and the Ashtaroth.
14 Da blussede HERRENs Vrede op imod Israel, og han gav dem i Røveres Hånd, så de udplyndrede dem. Han gav dem til Pris for de omboende Fjender, så de ikke længer kunde holde Stand mod deres Fjender.
And it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on Israel and he gave them in [the] hand of plunderers and they plundered them and he sold them in [the] hand of enemies their from round about and not they were able still to stand before enemies their.
15 Hvor som helst de rykkede frem, var HERRENs Hånd imod dem og voldte dem Ulykke, som HERREN havde sagt og tilsvoret dem. Således bragte han dem i stor Vånde. Men når de så råbte til HERREN,
In every - where they went out [the] hand of Yahweh it was on them for harm just as he had spoken Yahweh and just as he had sworn Yahweh to them and it was distress to them exceedingly.
16 lod han Dommere fremstå, og de frelste dem fra deres Hånd, som udplyndrede dem.
And he raised up Yahweh judges and they delivered them from [the] hand of plunderers their.
17 Dog heller ikke deres Dommere adlød de, men bolede med andre Guder og tilbad dem. Hurtig veg de bort fra den Vej, deres Fædre havde vandret på i Lydighed mod HERRENs Bud; de slægtede dem ikke på.
And also to judges their not they listened for they acted as prostitutes after gods other and they bowed down to them they turned aside quickly from the way which they had walked fathers their to obey [the] commandments of Yahweh not they did so.
18 Men hver Gang HERREN lod Dommere fremstå iblandt dem, var HERREN med Dommeren og frelste dem fra deres Fjenders Hånd, så længe Dommeren levede; thi HERREN ynkedes, når de jamrede sig over dem, som trængte og undertrykte dem.
And if he raised up Yahweh - for them judges and he was Yahweh with the judge and he delivered them from [the] hand of enemies their all [the] days of the judge for he had compassion Yahweh from groaning their because of [those who] oppressed them and [those who] oppressed them.
19 Men så snart Dommeren var død, handlede de atter ilde, ja endnu værre end deres Fædre, idet de holdt sig til andre Guder og dyrkede og tilbad dem. De holdt ikke op med deres onde Gerninger og genstridige Færd.
And it was - when died the judge they turned back and they acted corruptly more than fathers their by walking after gods other to serve them and to bow down to them not they let drop any of deeds their and any of way their stubborn.
20 Da blussede HERRENs Vrede op mod Israel, og han sagde: "Efterdi dette Folk har overtrådt min Pagt, som jeg pålagde deres Fædre, og ikke adlydt min Røst,
And it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on Israel and he said because that they have transgressed the nation this covenant my which I commanded ancestors their and not they have listened to voice my.
21 vil jeg heller ikke mere bortdrive foran dem et eneste af de Folk, som Josua lod tilbage ved sin Død,
Also I not I will increase to dispossess anyone from before them any of the nations which he left Joshua and he died.
22 for at jeg ved dem kan sætte Israel på Prøve, om de omhyggeligt vil følge HERRENs Veje, som deres Fædre gjorde, eller ej."
So as to put to [the] test by them Israel ¿ [be] keeping [will] they [the] way of Yahweh by walking in them just as they kept [it] ancestors their or? not.
23 HERREN lod da disse Folkeslag blive og hastede ikke med at drive dem bort; han gav dem ikke i Josuas Hånd.
And he left Yahweh the nations these to not to dispossess them quickly and not he gave them in [the] hand of Joshua.
