Joshua 10
1 And it came to pass when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had taken Ai and had utterly destroyed it, that he had done to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king, and that the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them,
Og det skete, der Adoni-Zedek, Kongen af Jerusalem, hørte, at Josva havde indtaget Ai og ødelagt den og gjort saa mod Ai og dens Konge, som han gjorde mod Jeriko og dens Konge, og at Indbyggerne af Gibeon havde gjort Fred med Israel og vare midt iblandt dem:
2 that they feared greatly; for Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
Da flygtede de saare, fordi Gibeon var en stor Stad som en af de kongelige Stæder, og fordi den var større end Ai, og alle Mændene derudi vare vældige Mænd.
3 And Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, and to Piream king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,
Og Adoni-Zedek, Kongen af Jerusalem, sendte Bud til Hoham, Kongen af Hebron, og til Piream, Kongen af Jarmuth, og til Jafia, Kongen af Lakis, og til Debir, Kongen af Eglon, og lod sige:
4 Come up to me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon; for it has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.
Kommer op til mig og hjælper mig, at vi kunne slaa Gibeon; thi den har gjort Fred med Josva og med Israels Børn.
5 And the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, [and] the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their armies, and they encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.
Og de fem amoritiske Konger samlede sig og droge op, Kongen af Jerusalem, Kongen af Hebron, Kongen af Jarmuth, Kongen af Lakis, Kongen af Eglon, de og alle deres Lejre; og de lejrede sig mod Gibeon og strede mod den.
6 And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua, to the camp at Gilgal, saying, Withdraw not thy hand from thy servants: come up to us quickly, and save us and help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill-country are gathered against us.
Og de Mænd af Gibeon sendte til Josva til Lejren, til Gilgal, og lode sige: Drag ikke din Haand fra dine Tjenere, kom snart op til os og frels os og hjælp os; thi alle Amoriternes Konger, som bo paa Bjergene, have forsamlet sig imod os.
7 So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, even all the valiant men.
Og Josva drog op fra Gilgal, han og alt Krigsfolket med ham, og alle, som vare vældige til Strid.
8 And Jehovah said to Joshua, Fear them not; for into thy hand have I given them: not a man of them shall stand before thee.
Og Herren sagde til Josva: Frygt ikke for dem, thi jeg har givet dem i din Haand; der skal ikke en Mand af dem kunne staa for dit Ansigt.
9 And Joshua came upon them suddenly; he went up from Gilgal all night.
Saa kom Josva hasteligen over dem; thi han drog den hele Nat op fra Gilgal.
10 And Jehovah discomfited them before Israel, and smote them [with] a great slaughter at Gibeon; and he chased them on the way of the ascent of Beth-horon, and smote them up to Azekah and Makkedah.
Og Herren forskrækkede dem for Israels Ansigt, saa han slog dem med et svart Slag ved Gibeon; og han forfulgte dem paa Vejen, hvor man gaar op til Beth-Horon, og slog dem indtil Aseka og indtil Makkeda.
11 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, — they were at the descent of Beth-horon, — that Jehovah cast down great stones from heaven upon them up to Azekah, and they died. They were more who died with the hailstones than they whom the children of Israel had slain with the sword.
Og det skete, der de flyede for Israels Ansigt, og de vare der, hvor man gaar ned til Beth-Horon, da lod Herren falde store Stene af Himmelen paa dem indtil Aseka, at de døde; de vare flere, som døde af samme Hagelstene, end de, som Israels Børn sloge ihjel med Sværdet.
12 Then spoke Joshua to Jehovah in the day when Jehovah gave up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand still upon Gibeon; And thou, moon, in the valley of Ajalon!
Da talede Josva til Herren paa samme Dag, der Harren gav Amoriterne for Israels Børns Ansigt, og han sagde for Israels Øjne: Sol, staa stille i Gibeon, og Maane, i Ajalons Dal!
13 And the sun stood still, and the moon remained where it was, until the nation had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? And the sun remained standing in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a full day.
Saa stod Solen stille, og Maanen blev staaende, indtil Folket havde hævnet sig paa sine Fjender; er det ikke skrevet i den oprigtiges Bog? Saa blev Solen staaende midt paa Himmelen og ilede ikke til at gaa ned henved en hel Dag.
14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that Jehovah hearkened to the voice of a man; for Jehovah fought for Israel.
Og der var ingen Dag som denne, hverken før eller efter den, at Herren hørte en Mands Røst; thi Herren stred for Israel.
15 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp, to Gilgal.
Og Josva vendte tilbage og al Israel med ham til Lejren ved Gilgal.
16 And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
Men hine fem Konger vare flygtede, at de havde skjult sig i den Hule ved Makkeda.
17 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings have been found, hid in the cave at Makkedah.
Og det blev Josva tilkendegivet, at man sagde: De fem Konger ere fundne skjulte i den Hule ved Makkeda.
18 And Joshua said, Roll great stones before the mouth of the cave, and set men before it to keep them.
Og Josva sagde: Vælter store Stene for Gabet paa Hulen, og sætter Mænd ved den for at tage Vare paa dem.
19 And ye, stay not, pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities; for Jehovah your God has given them into your hand.
Og I, staar ikke stille, forfølger eders Fjender og slaar deres Bagtrop; lader dem ikke komme til deres Stæder, thi Herren eders Gud har givet dem i eders Haand.
20 And it came to pass when Joshua and the children of Israel had ended smiting them with a very great slaughter, until they were consumed, that the remnant which remained of them entered into fortified cities;
Og det skete, der Josva og Israels Børn var færdige med at slaa dem med et saare stort Slag, indtil de havde gjort Ende paa dem, da vare nogle blevne tilovers af dem, og de kom ind i de faste Stæder.
21 and all the people returned to the camp to Joshua, at Makkedah, in peace; none moved his tongue against the children of Israel.
Men alt Folket vendte tilbage til Josva til Lejren ved Makkeda med Fred; der havde ingen rørt sin Tunge imod Israels Børn, ja ikke mod nogen af dem.
22 And Joshua said, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth to me those five kings out of the cave.
Og Josva sagde: Aabner Gabet paa Hulen, og fører disse fem Konger ud til mig af Hulen!
23 And they did so, and brought forth to him those five kings out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.
Og de gjorde saa og førte de fem Konger ud til ham af Hulen: Kongen af Jerusalem, Kongen af Hebron, Kongen af Jarmuth, Kongen af Lakis, Kongen af Eglon.
24 And it came to pass when they had brought forth those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called to all the men of Israel, and said to the captains of the men of war who went with him, Come forward, put your feet on the necks of these kings. And they came forward and put their feet on their necks.
Og det skete, der de havde ført disse Konger ud til Josva, da kaldte Josva ad alle Israels Mænd, og sagde til de Øverste for Krigsmændene, som droge med ham: Kommer frem, sætter eders Fødder paa disse Kongers Halse; saa kom de frem og satte deres Fødder paa deres Halse.
25 And Joshua said to them, Fear not, neither be dismayed; be strong and courageous, for thus will Jehovah do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.
Da sagde Josva til dem: Frygter ikke og forfærdes ikke, værer frimodige og værer stærke; thi Herren skal gøre saaledes imod alle eders Fjender, dem som I stride imod.
26 And afterwards Joshua smote them, and put them to death, and hanged them on five trees; and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
Og derefter slog Josva dem og dræbte dem og hængte dem paa fem Træer, og de bleve hængende paa Træerne indtil Aftenen.
27 And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave where they had been hid, and laid great stones before the cave's mouth, [which remain] to this very day.
Og det skete ved den Tid, da Solen gik ned, bød Josva, og de toge dem ned af Træerne og kastede dem i den Hule, som de havde været skjulte i; og de lagde store Stene for Gabet af Hulen, hvor de ere indtil denne Dag.
28 And Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, him and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed; he let none remain; and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
Og Josva indtog Makkeda paa den samme Dag og slog den med skarpe Sværd, og dens Konge ødelagde han tillige med alle Personer, som vare i den, han lod ingen blive tilovers til at undkomme; og han gjorde mod Kongen af Makkeda, ligesom han gjorde mod Kongen af Jeriko.
29 And Joshua passed, and all Israel with him, from Makkedah to Libnah, and fought against Libnah.
Og Josva og hele Israel med ham gik over fra Makkeda til Libna, og han stred mod Libna.
30 And Jehovah gave it also and the king thereof into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it: and he did to the king thereof as he had done to the king of Jericho.
Og Herren gav ogsaa den og dens Konge i Israels Haand, og han slog den med skarpe Sværd og alle Personer, som vare derudi, han lod ingen blive tilovers til at undkomme; og han gjorde mod dens Konge, ligesom han gjorde mod Kongen af Jeriko.
31 And Joshua passed, and all Israel with him, from Libnah to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it.
Og Josva og hele Israel med ham gik over fra Libna til Lakis; og han slog Lejr imod den og stred imod den.
32 And Jehovah gave Lachish into the hand of Israel; and they took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
Og Herren gav Lakis i Israels Haand, og han indtog den paa den anden Dag, og han slog den med skarpe Sværd og alle Personer, som vare i den; i alle Maader, som han gjorde mod Libna.
33 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
Da drog Horam, Kongen af Geser, op at hjælpe Lakis; men Josva slog ham og hans Folk, indtil han ikke lod nogen blive tilovers til at undkomme.
34 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, passed from Lachish to Eglon; and they encamped against it, and fought against it.
Og Josva og al Israel med ham gik over fra Lakis til Eglon; og de sloge Lejr imod den og strede imod den.
35 And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword; and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed on that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
Og de indtoge den paa den samme Dag og sloge den med skarpe Sværd, og han ødelagde alle Personer, som vare derudi, paa den samme Dag; i alle Maader, som han gjorde mod Lakis.
36 And Joshua went up, and all Israel with him, from Eglon to Hebron; and they fought against it.
Siden drog Josva og al Israel med ham op fra Eglon til Hebron, og de strede imod den.
37 And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein: he let none remain, according to all that he had done to Eglon; and he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls that were therein.
Og de indtoge den og sloge den med skarpe Sværd og dens Konge og alle dens Stæder og alle Personer, som vare deri, han lod ingen blive tilovers til at undkomme, i alle Maader som han gjorde mod Eglon; og han ødelagde den og alle Personer, som vare i den.
38 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it.
Saa vendte Josva tilbage og hele Israel med ham til Debir og stred imod den.
39 And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: as he had done to Hebron, and as he had done to Libnah, and to the king thereof, so he did to Debir and to the king thereof.
Og han indtog den og dens Konge og alle dens Stæder, og de sloge dem med skarpe Sværd, og de ødelagde alle Personer, som vare i den, han lod ingen blive tilovers til at undkomme; ligesom han gjorde ved Hebron, saa gjorde han ved Debir og dens Konge, og ligesom han gjorde ved Libna og dens Konge.
40 And Joshua smote the whole country, the mountain, and the south, and the lowland, and the hill-slopes, and all their kings: he let none remain, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as Jehovah the God of Israel had commanded.
Saa slog Josva alt Landet paa Bjergene og mod Sønden og Lavlandet og Dalene og alle deres Konger, han lod ingen blive tilovers til at undkomme; og han ødelagde alt det, som havde Aande, som Herren Israels Gud havde befalet.
41 And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even to Gazah, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon;
Og Josva slog dem fra Kades-Barnea og indtil Gaza og alt Gosen Land og indtil Gibeon.
42 and all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time; for Jehovah the God of Israel fought for Israel.
Og Josva tog alle disse Konger med deres Land paa een Gang; thi Herren Israels Gud stred for Israel.
43 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp, to Gilgal.
Saa vendte Josva tilbage og al Israel med ham til Lejren ved Gilgal.
