Deuteronomy 2
1 And we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as Jehovah had said unto me; and we went round mount Seir many days.
Da vendte vi os og rejste til Ørken ad Vejen til det røde Hav, som Herren havde talet til mig, og vi droge omkring Seirs Bjerg mange Aar.
2 And Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
Og Herren talede til mig og sagde:
3 Ye have gone round this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
I have længe nok draget omkring dette Bjerg, vender eder imod Norden,
4 And command the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you; and ye shall be very guarded:
og byd Folket og sig: I drage nu igennem eders Brødres, Esaus Børns, Landemærke, de som bo i Seir, og de skulle frygte for eder; men I skulle tage eder vel i Vare.
5 attack them not; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot-breadth; for I have given mount Seir as a possession unto Esau.
I skulle ikke befatte eder med dem i Krig; thi jeg vil ikke give eder noget af deres Land, end ikke saa meget, som en Fodsaal kan træde paa, fordi jeg har givet Esau Seirs Bjerg til Ejendom.
6 Ye shall buy of them food for money, that ye may eat; and water shall ye also buy of them for money, that ye may drink;
I skulle købe Spise af dem for Penge og æde, og I skulle ogsaa købe Vand af dem for Penge og drikke;
7 for Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hand. He hath known thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years hath Jehovah thy God been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
thi Herren din Gud har velsignet dig i al din Haands Gerning; han kender dine Gange igennem denne store Ørk; i fyrretyve Aar har Herren din Gud været med dig; dig fattedes ingen Ting.
8 And we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, by the plain, by Elath, and by Ezion-geber, and we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
Der vi droge fra vore Brødre Esaus Børn, som boede i Seir, paa Vejen til den slette Mark, fra Elath og fra Eziongeber, da vendte vi os og gik igennem ad Vejen til Moabiternes Ørk.
9 And Jehovah said to me, Distress not the Moabites, neither engage with them in battle; for I will not give thee of their land a possession; for unto the children of Lot have I given Ar as a possession.
Da sagde Herren til mig: Du skal ikke trænge Moabiterne og ikke befatte dig med dem i Krig; thi jeg vil intet give dig af deres Land til Ejendom; thi jeg har givet Lots Børn Ar til Ejendom.
10 (The Emim dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall as the Anakim.
Emiterne boede fordum derudi; det var et stort og stærkt og højt Folk, som Anakiterne.
11 They also are reckoned as giants like the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.
De holdtes og for Kæmper ligesom Anakiterne, og Moabiterne kaldte dem Emiter.
12 And in Seir dwelt the Horites in times past; and the children of Esau dispossessed them, and destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did to the land of their possession, which Jehovah gave to them.)
Og Horiterne boede fordum i Seir, og Esaus Børn fordreve dem og ødelagde dem for sig, og de toge Bolig i deres Sted; ligesom Israel gør ved sit Ejendoms Land, hvilket Herren har givet dem.
13 Now rise up, and pass over the torrent Zered. And we passed over the torrent Zered.
Gører eder nu rede og drager over Sereds Bæk; og vi droge over Sereds Bæk.
14 Now the days in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we had come over the torrent Zered, were thirty-eight years; until the whole generation of the men of war was consumed from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah had sworn unto them.
Men de Dage, vi have vandret fra Kades-Barnea, indtil vi kom over Bækken Sered, vare otte og tredive Aar, indtil den hele Slægt af Krigsmænd ganske var uddød af Lejren, saaledes som Herren havde svoret dem.
15 Moreover the hand of Jehovah was against them to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
Tilmed var og Herrens Haand imod dem til at udrydde dem af Lejren, indtil det fik Ende med dem.
16 And it came to pass when all the men of war were consumed, having died off from among the people,
Og det skete, der det havde faaet Ende med alle Krigsmændene, saa de vare uddøde af Folkets Midte,
17 that Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
da talede Herren til mig og sagde:
18 Thou art to pass this day over the border of Moab, [which is] Ar,
Du drager i Dag igennem Moabiternes Landemærke ved Ar,
19 and come near over against the children of Ammon; thou shalt not distress them nor attack them; for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon a possession; for unto the children of Lot have I given it as a possession.
og du kommer nær frem for Ammons Børn; du skal ikke trænge dem, ej heller befatte dig med dem i Krig; thi jeg vil intet give dig af Ammons Børns Land til Ejendom; thi jeg har givet Lots Børn det til Ejendom.
20 (That also is reckoned a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in time past, and the Ammonites call them Zamzummim;
Ogsaa det er blevet holdt for et Kæmpeland, derudi boede fordum Kæmper, og Ammoniterne kaldte dem Samsummiter.
21 a people great, and many, and tall as the Anakim; and Jehovah destroyed them before them, and they dispossessed them, and dwelt in their stead;
Det var et stort og stærkt og højt Folk som Anakiterne, men Herren ødelagde dem for deres Ansigt, saa de fordreve dem og boede i deres Sted;
22 as he did to the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, from before whom he destroyed the Horites; and they dispossessed them, and dwelt in their stead, even to this day.
ligesom han gjorde for Esaus Børn, som bo i Seir, for hvis Ansigt han ødelagde Horiterne, saa de fordreve dem og boede i deres Sted indtil denne Dag.
23 And the Avvites who dwelt in the hamlets as far as Gazah — the Caphtorim, who came out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
Og Aviterne, som boede i Landsbyerne indtil Gaza, dem ødelagde Kafthoriterne, som vare komne fra Kafthor og boede i deres Sted.
24 Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon. Behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the king of Heshbon, the Amorite, and his land: begin, take possession, and engage with him in battle.
Gører eder rede, rejser frem og gaar over Bækken Arnon; se, jeg har givet Sihon, den amoritiske Konge af Hesbon, og hans Land i dine Hænder; begynd, indtag det og giv dig i Kamp med ham!
25 This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the peoples under the whole heaven; who will hear report of thee, and will tremble, and quake because of thee.
Jeg vil begynde paa denne Dag at lægge Rædsel og Frygt for dig over Folkenes Ansigt under den ganske Himmel, at de, som høre dit Rygte, skulle bæve og blive bange for dit Ansigt.
26 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon the king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
Da sendte jeg Bud fra den Ørk Kedemoth til Sihon, Kongen af Hesbon, med fredelige Ord og lod sige:
27 Let me pass through thy land: by the highway alone will I go; I will neither turn to the right hand nor to the left.
Jeg vil drage igennem dit Land, jeg vil blot gaa paa Vejen, jeg vil ikke vige til den højre eller venstre Side.
28 Thou shalt sell me food for money that I may eat; and thou shalt give me water for money that I may drink; I will only pass through on my feet,
Spise skal du sælge mig for Penge, at jeg maa æde, og Vand skal du give mig for Penge, at jeg maa drikke; jeg vil ikkun gaa igennem til Fods;
29 — as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me, — until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which Jehovah our God giveth us.
ligesom Esaus Børn gjorde imod mig, de som bo i Seir, og Moabiterne, som bo i Ar; indtil jeg kommer over Jordanen til det Land, som Herren vor Gud giver os.
30 But Sihon the king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for Jehovah thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obdurate, that he might give him into thy hand, as it is this day.
Men Sihon, Kongen i Hesbon, vilde ikke lade os drage igennem hos sig; thi Herren din Gud forhærdede hans Aand og gjorde hans Hjerte stift, for at give ham i dine Hænder, som man ser paa denne Dag.
31 And Jehovah said to me, Behold, I begin to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin, take possession, that thou mayest possess his land.
Og Herren sagde til mig: Se, jeg har begyndt at overgive Sihon og hans Land til dig; begynd, indtag hans Land til Eje!
32 And Sihon came out against us for battle, he and all his people, to Jahaz.
Og Sihon drog ud imod os, han og alt hans Folk, til Strid ved Jaza.
33 But Jehovah our God gave him up before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and his whole people.
Men Herren vor Gud overgav ham til os, og vi sloge ham og hans Børn og alt hans Folk.
34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every city, men, and women, and little ones: we let none escape.
Og vi indtoge alle hans Stæder paa samme Tid, og vi bandlyste hver Stad, Mænd og Kvinder og smaa Børn; vi lode ingen undkommen blive tilovers,
35 Only the cattle we took as booty for ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.
kun Fæet røvede vi for os og Byttet af Stæderne, som vi havde indtaget.
36 From Aroer, which is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the ravine even to Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: Jehovah our God delivered all before us.
Fra Aroer, som ligger ved Bredden af Arnons Bæk, og fra den Stad, som er i Dalen, og indtil Gilead, var der ikke en Stad, som var os for høj; Herren vor Gud overgav dem alle til os.
37 Only thou didst not approach the land of the children of Ammon, the whole border of the river Jabbok, nor the cities of the mountain, nor to whatsoever Jehovah our God had forbidden us.
Kun kom du ikke nær til Ammons Børns Land, til hele den Side ved Bækken Jabok og til Stæderne paa Bjerget, og alt det, som Herren vor Gud har budet os om.
