Joshua 11
1 Now Jabin, king of Hazor, hearing of these things, sent to Jobab, king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
Da Kong Jabin af Hazor hørte herom sendte han Bud til Kong Jobab af Madon og Kongerne af Sjimron og Aksjaf
2 And to the kings on the north in the hill-country, and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and in the highlands of Dor on the west,
og til Kongerne nordpaa i Bjergene, i Arabalavningen sønden for Kinnerot, i Lavlandet og paa Højdedraget vestpaa ved Dor,
3 And to the Canaanites on the east and on the west, and to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites in the hill-country, and the Hivites under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
til Kana'anæerne i Øst og Vest, Amoriterne, Hivviterne, Perizziterne og Jebusiterne i Bjergene og Hetiterne ved Foden af Hermon i Mizpas Land;
4 And they went out, they and all their armies with them, a great people, in number like the sand on the seaside, with horses and war-carriages in great number.
og de drog ud med alle deres Hære, Krigsfolk talrige som Sandet ved Havets Bred, og med en stor Mængde Heste og Stridsvogne.
5 And all these kings came together, and put their forces in position at the waters of Merom, to make war on Israel.
Alle disse Konger slog sig sammen og kom og lejrede sig i Forening ved Meroms Vand for at angribe Israel.
6 And the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear of them: for tomorrow at this time I will give them all up dead before Israel; you are to have the leg-muscles of their horses cut and their war-carriages burned with fire.
Men HERREN sagde til Josua: »Frygt ikke for dem! Thi i Morgen ved denne Tid vil jeg lade dem ligge faldne foran Israel; deres Heste skal du lamme, og deres Vogne skal du brænde!«
7 So Joshua and all the men of war with him came against them suddenly at the waters of Merom, and made an attack on them.
Da kom Josua med hele Hæren uventet over dem ved Meroms Vand og kastede sig over dem,
8 And the Lord gave them up into the hands of Israel, and they overcame them driving them back to great Zidon and to Misrephoth-maim and into the valley of Mizpeh to the east; and they put them all to death, no man got away safely.
og HERREN gav dem i Israels Haand, saa de slog dem og forfulgte dem til den store Stad Zidon, til Misrefot-Majim og Mizpes Lavning i Øst, og huggede dem ned, saa ikke en eneste af dem blev tilbage.
9 And Joshua did to them as the Lord had said to him; he had the leg-muscles of their horses cut and their war-carriages burned with fire.
Josua gjorde derpaa med dem, som HERREN havde sagt ham; deres Heste lammede han, og deres Vogne brændte han.
10 At that time, Joshua went on to take Hazor and put its king to the sword: for in earlier times Hazor was the chief of all those kingdoms.
Ved den Tid vendte Josua om og indtog Hazor, og Kongen huggede han ned med Sværdet; Hazor var nemlig fordum alle disse Kongerigers Hovedstad;
11 And they put every person in it to death without mercy, giving every living thing up to the curse, and burning Hazor.
og de huggede hver levende Sjæl i den ned med Sværdet og lagde Band paa dem, saa ikke en levende Sjæl blev tilbage; og Hazor stak han i Brand.
12 And all the towns of these kings, and all the kings, Joshua took, and put them to the sword: he gave them up to the curse, as Moses, the servant of the Lord, had said.
Alle hine Kongsbyer med deres Konger undertvang Josua, og han huggede dem ned med Sværdet og lagde Band paa dem, som HERRENS Tjener Moses havde paabudt.
13 As for the towns made on hills of earth, not one was burned by Israel but Hazor, which was burned by Joshua.
Men ingen af de Byer, som laa paa deres Høje, stak Israel i Brand, alene med Undtagelse af Hazor; den stak Josua i Brand.
14 And all the goods taken from these towns, and their cattle, the children of Israel kept for themselves; but every man they put to death without mercy, till their destruction was complete, and there was no one living.
Kvæget og alt det andet, der røvedes fra disse Byer, beholdt Israeliterne som Bytte; men alle Menneskene huggede de ned med Sværdet til sidste Mand uden at lade en eneste levende Sjæl blive tilbage.
15 As the Lord had given orders to Moses his servant, so Moses gave orders to Joshua, and so Joshua did; every order which the Lord had given to Moses was done.
Hvad HERREN havde paalagt sin Tjener Moses, havde Moses paalagt Josua, og det gjorde Josua; han undlod intet som helst af, hvad HERREN havde paalagt Moses.
16 So Joshua took all that land, the hill-country and all the South, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland and the Arabah, the hill-country of Israel and its lowland;
Saaledes indtog Josua hele dette Land, Bjerglandet, hele Sydlandet, hele Landskabet Gosjen, Lavlandet, Arabalavningen, Israels Bjergland og Lavland,
17 From Mount Halak, which goes up to Seir, as far as Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon: and all their kings he overcame and put to death.
fra det nøgne Bjergdrag, som højner sig hen imod Se'ir, indtil Ba'al-Gad i Libanons Dal ved Hermonbjergets Fod; og alle deres Konger tog han til Fange, huggede dem ned og dræbte dem.
18 For a long time Joshua made war on all those kings.
I lang Tid førte Josua Krig med disse Konger.
19 Not one town made peace with the children of Israel, but only the Hivites of Gibeon: they took them all in war.
Der var ingen By, som sluttede Overenskomst med Israeliterne, undtagen Hivviterne, som boede i Gibeon. Alt tog de i Kamp;
20 For the Lord made them strong in heart to go to war against Israel, so that he might give them up to the curse without mercy, and that destruction might come on them, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.
thi HERREN voldte, at de forhærdede deres Hjerter, saa de drog i Kamp mod Israel, for at de skulde lægge Band paa dem uden Skaansel og udrydde dem, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses.
21 And Joshua came at that time and put an end to the Anakim in the hill-country, in Hebron, in Debir, in Anab, and in all the hill-country of Judah and Israel: Joshua gave them and their towns to the curse.
Ved den Tid drog Josua hen og udryddede Anakiterne af Bjerglandet, af Hebron, Debir og Anab, og af hele Judas og hele Israels Bjergland; paa dem og deres Byer lagde Josua Band.
22 Not one of the Anakim was to be seen in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, some were still living.
Der blev ingen Anakiter tilbage i Israeliternes Land, kun i Gaza, Gat og Asdod blev der Levninger tilbage.
23 So Joshua took all the land, as the Lord had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it to the children of Israel as their heritage, making division of it among them by their tribes. And the land had rest from war.
Saaledes indtog Josua hele Landet, ganske som HERREN havde sagt til Moses, og Josua gav Israel det i Eje efter deres Afdelinger, Stamme for Stamme. Og Landet fik Ro efter Krigen.
