Joshua 13

1 Joshua was old and advanced in age, and the Lord said to him: “You have grown old, and are aged, and a very wide land remains, which has not yet been divided by lot,

Da Josua var blevet gammel og til Års, sagde HERREN til ham: "Du er blevet gammel og til Års, og der er endnu såre meget tilbage af Landet at indtage.

2 specifically, all of Galilee, Philistia, and all of Geshur;

Dette er det Land, som er tilbage: Hele Filisternes Landområde og alle Gesjuriterne,

3 from the muddy river, which irrigates Egypt, as far as the border of Ekron toward the north, the land of Canaan, which is divided among the rulers of Philistia: the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gathites, and the Ekronites;

Landet fra Sjihor østen for Ægypten indtil Ekrons Landemærke i Nord det regnes til Kana'anæerne de fem Filisterfyrster i Gaza, Asdod, Askalon, Gat og Ekron, desuden Avviterne

4 truly, to the south are the Hivites, all the land of Canaan, and Mearah of the Sidonians, as far as Aphek and the borders of the Amorite

mod Syd, hele Kana'anæerlandet fra Meara, som tilhører Zidonierne, indtil Afek og til Amoriternes Landemærke,

5 and his confines; also, the region of Lebanon toward the east, from Baalgad, under mount Hermon, until you enter into Hamath;

og det Land, som mod Øst grænser til Libanon fra Ba'al Gad ved Hermonbjergets Fod til Egnen hen imod Hamat.

6 all who live in the mountains from Lebanon, as far as the waters of Misrephoth, and all the Sidonians. I am the One who will wipe them out, before the face of the sons of Israel. Therefore, let their land become a part of the inheritance of Israel, just as I have instructed you.

Alle Indbyggerne i Bjerglandet fra Libanon til Misrefot Majim, alle Zidonierne, vil jeg drive bort foran Israeliterne. Tildel kun Israel det som Ejendom, således som jeg har pålagt dig.

7 And now, divide the land as a possession to the nine tribes, and to the one half tribe of Manasseh.”

Udskift derfor dette Land som Ejendom til de halvtiende Stammer." Manasses halve Stamme

8 With them, Reuben and Gad have possessed the land, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, delivered to them beyond the river Jordan, on the eastern side:

såvel som Rubeniterne og Gaditerne havde nemlig fået deres Arvelod, som Moses gav dem hinsides Jordan, på Østsiden, således som HERRENs Tjener Moses gav dem,

9 from Aroer, which is situated on the bank of the torrent Arnon and in the midst of the valley, and all the plains of Medeba, as far as Dibon;

fra Aroer ved Arnonflodens Bred og Byen midt nede i Dalen, hele Højsletten fra Medeba til Dibon,

10 and all the cities of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, even to the borders of the sons of Ammon;

alle de Byer, som havde tilhørt Amoriterkongen Sibon, der herskede i Hesjbon, indtil Ammoniternes Landemærke,

11 and Gilead, as well as the borders of Geshur and Maacati, and all of mount Hermon, and all of Bashan, as far as Salecah;

fremdeles Gilead og Gesjuriternes og Ma'akatiternes Landemærke, hele Hermonbjerget og hele Basan indtil Salka,

12 the entire kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned at Ashtaroth and Edrei, (he was among the last of the Rephaim). And Moses struck and destroyed them.

hele det Rige, der havde tilhørt Og af Basan, som herskede i Asjtarot og Edrei, den sidste, der var tilbage af Refaiterne; Moses havde overvundet dem alle og drevet dem bort.

13 And the sons of Israel were not willing to destroy Geshur and Maacati, and so they have lived in the midst of Israel, even to the present day.

Men Israeliterne drev ikke Gesjuriterne og Ma'akatiterne bort, så at Gesjur og Ma'akat bor i blandt Israel den Dag i bag.

14 But to the tribe of Levi, he did not give a possession. Instead, the sacrifices and victims of the Lord, the God of Israel, these are his inheritance, just as he spoke to him.

Kun Levis Stamme gav han ingen Arvelod; HERREN, Israels Gud, er hans Arvelod, således som han tilsagde ham.

15 Therefore, Moses gave a possession to the tribe of the sons of Reuben, according to their families.

Moses gav Rubeniternes Stamme Land, Slægt for Slægt,

16 And their border was from Aroer, which is situated on the bank of the torrent Arnon, and in the midst of the valley of the same torrent, with all the flatlands that lead to Medeba;

og de fik deres Område fra Aroer ved Arnonflodens Bred og Byen midt nede i Dalen, hele Højsletten indtil

17 and Heshbon, and all their villages, which are in the plains; also Dibon, and Bamothbaal, and the town of Baalmeon,

Hesjbon og alle de Byer, som ligger på Højsletten, Dibon, Bamot Ba'al, Bet Ba'al Meon,

18 and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,

Jaza, Kedemot, Mefa'at,

19 and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar on the mountain of the steep valley;

Kirjatajim, Sibma, Zeret Sjahar på Dalbjerget,

20 Bethpeor, and the descending slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth;

Bet-Peor ved Pisgas Skrænter. Bet-Jesjimot

21 and all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdoms of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who reigned at Heshbon, whom Moses struck down with the leaders of Midian: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the commanders of Sihon, inhabitants of the land.

og alle de andre Byer på Højsletten og hele det Rige, der havde tilhørt Amoriterkongen Sibon, som herskede i Hesjbon, hvem Moses havde overvundet tillige med Midjans Fyrster Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur og Reba, der var Sihons Lydkonger og boede i Landet;

22 And the sons of Israel killed Balaam, the son of Beor, the seer, with the sword, along with the others who were slain.

også Sandsigeren Bileam, Beors Søn, havde Israeliterne dræbt med Sværdet sammen med de andre af dem, der blev slået ihjel.

23 And the river Jordan was made the border of the sons of Reuben; this is the possession of the Reubenites, by their families, in cities and villages.

Rubeniternes Grænse blev Jordan; den var Grænseskel. Det var Rubeniternes Arvelod efter deres Slægter, de nævnte Byer med Landsbyer.

24 And Moses gave to the tribe of Gad and his sons, by their families, a possession, of which this is the division:

Og Moses gav Gads Stamme, Gaditerne, Land, Slægt for Slægt,

25 the border of Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and one half part of the land of the sons of Ammon, as far as Aroer, which is opposite Rabbah;

og de fik følgende Landområde: Jazer og alle Byerne i Gilead og Halvdelen af Ammoniternes Land indtil Aroer, som ligger østen for Rabba,

26 and from Heshbon as far as Ramath, Mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim as far as the borders of Debir;

og Landet fra Hesjbon til Ramat-Mizpe og Betonim, og fra Mahanajim til Lodebars Landemærke;

27 also, in the valley Beth-haram and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the remaining part of the kingdom of Sihon, the king of Heshbon; the limit of this also is the Jordan, as far as the furthest part of the sea of Chinnereth, beyond the Jordan on the eastern side.

og i Lavningen Bet-Haram, Bet-Nimra, Sukkot og Zafon, Resten af Kong Sihon af Hesjbons Rige, med Jordan til Grænse, indtil Enden af Kinnerets Sø, hinsides Jordan, på Østsiden.

28 This is the possession of the sons of Gad, by their families, in their cities and villages.

Det var Gaditernes Arvelod efter deres Slægter: de nævnte Byer med Landsbyer.

29 He also gave, to the one half tribe of Manasseh and to his sons, a possession according to their families,

Og Moses gav Manasses halve Stamme Land, Slægt for Slægt;

30 the beginning of which is this: from Mahanaim, all of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Og, the king of Bashan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty towns;

og deres Landområde strakte sig fra Mahanajim over hele Basan, hele Kong Og af Basans Rige og alle Jairs Teltbyer, som ligger i Basan, tresindstyve Byer,

31 and one half part of Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, to the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, to one half part of the sons of Machir, according to their families.

Halvdelen af Gilead og Asjtarot og Edre'i, Ogs Kongsbyer i Basan; det gav han Manasses Søn Makirs Sønner, Halvdelen af Makirs Sønner, Slægt for Slægt.

32 Moses divided this possession, in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, opposite Jericho on the eastern side.

Det er alt, hvad Moses udskiftede på Moabs Sletter hinsides Jordan over for Jeriko, på Østsiden.

33 But to the tribe of Levi he did not give a possession. For the Lord, the God of Israel, is himself their possession, just as he spoke to him.

Men Levis Stamme gav Moses ingen Arvelod; HERREN, Israels Gud, er deres Arvelod, således som han tilsagde dem.
