Joshua 11
1 And it came to pass when Jabin king of Hazor heard [this], that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
Og det skete, der Jabin, Kongen af Hazor, hørte det, da sendte han til Jobab, Kongen af Madon, og til Kongen af Simron og til Kongen af Aksaf,
2 and to the kings that were northward in the mountains, and in the plain south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and on the upland of Dor on the west,
og til de Konger, som vare mod Norden paa Bjergene og paa den slette Mark, Sønden for Kinneroths Hav og i Lavlandet og paa Højderne ved Dor ud mod Havet,
3 to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and to the Hivite at the foot of Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
til Kananiterne mod Østen og mod Vesten og Amoriterne og Hethiterne og Feresiterne og Jebusiterne paa Bjergene og Heviterne neden for Hermon i Mizpa Land.
4 And they went out, they and all their armies with them, a people numerous as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.
Og de droge ud, de og alle deres Lejre med dem, mangfoldigt Folk som Sand, der er paa Havbredden, i Mangfoldighed, og saare mange Heste og Vogne.
5 And all these kings met together, and came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.
Og alle disse Konger samledes, og de kom, og de lejrede sig tilsammen ved Søen Merom, at stride imod Israel.
6 And Jehovah said to Joshua, Be not afraid because of them; for to-morrow about this time will I give them all up slain before Israel: their horses shalt thou hough, and thou shalt burn their chariots with fire.
Og Herren sagde til Josva: Frygt ikke for deres Ansigt, thi i Morgen ved denne Tid vil jeg give dem alle sammen ihjelslagne for Israels Ansigt; du skal ødelægge deres Heste og opbrænde deres Vogne med Ild.
7 And Joshua, and all the people of war with him, came upon them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell upon them.
Og Josva og alt Krigsfolket med ham kom over dem hasteligen ved Søen Merom, og de overfaldt dem.
8 And Jehovah delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and to Misrephoth-maim, and to the valley of Mizpah eastward, and smote them until none were left remaining to them.
Og Herren gav dem i Israels Haand, og de sloge dem og forfulgte dem indtil det store Zidon og indtil de hede Kilder og indtil Mizpas Dal mod Østen; og de sloge dem, indtil han ikke lod dem een blive tilovers til at undkomme.
9 And Joshua did to them as Jehovah had said to him: he houghed their horses, and burned their chariots with fire.
Da gjorde Josva ved dem, saaledes som Herren havde sagt til ham; han ødelagde deres Heste og opbrændte deres Vogne med Ild.
10 And Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword; for Hazor was in times past the head of all those kingdoms.
Og Josva vendte tilbage paa den samme Tid og indtog Hazor og slog dens Konge ihjel med Sværd; thi Hazor, den var tilforn Hovedstaden for alle disse Kongeriger.
11 And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, destroying them utterly: there was not any left to breathe; and he burned Hazor with fire.
Og de sloge alle Personer, som vare i den, med skarpe Sværd, saa de ødelagde den; der blev intet tilovers, som havde Aande; og han opbrændte Hazor med Ild.
12 And all the cities of those kings and all their kings did Joshua take; and he smote them with the edge of the sword, destroying them utterly, as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded.
Og Josva tog alle disse Kongers Stæder med alle deres Konger, og han slog dem med skarpe Sværd, saa at han ødelagde dem, saaledes som Mose, Herrens Tjener, havde befalet.
13 Only, all the cities that stood still upon their hills Israel did not burn, save Hazor alone, [which] Joshua burned.
Dog opbrændte Israel slet ingen Stæder, som staa paa deres Høje; ikkun Hazor alene opbrændte Josva.
14 And all the spoil of these cities and the cattle the children of Israel took as prey to themselves; only, they smote all the men with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them: they left none that breathed.
Og alt Byttet af disse Stæder og Kvæget røvede Israels Børn for sig; kun Menneskene sloge de med skarpe Sværd, indtil de havde ødelagt dem, de lode intet blive tilovers, som havde Aande.
15 As Jehovah had commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua: he let nothing fail of all that Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Lige som Herren bød Mose sin Tjener, saa bød Mose Josva, og saa gjorde Josva, han undlod ikke noget af alt det, som Herren havde befalet Mose.
16 And Joshua took all that land, the mountain and all the south, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and its lowland;
Og Josva indtog hele dette Land, Bjerglandet og Sydlandet og hele Gosen Land og Lavlandet og den slette Mark og Israels Bjerge med Lavlandet dertil,
17 from the smooth mountain, which rises toward Seir, as far as Baal-Gad in the valley of Lebanon, at the foot of mount Hermon; and he took all their kings, and smote them, and put them to death.
fra det slette Bjerg, som strækker sig op mod Sejr, og indtil Baal-Gad ved Libanons Dal neden for det Bjerg Hermon; og han tog alle deres Konger og slog dem og dræbte dem.
18 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
Josva førte mange Aar Krig imod alle disse Konger.
19 There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites who dwelt at Gibeon; they took all in battle.
Der var ikke en Stad, som gjorde Fred med Israels Børn, uden Heviterne, som boede i Gibeon; de indtoge alt med Krig.
20 For it was of Jehovah that their heart was hardened, to meet Israel in battle, that they might be utterly destroyed, and that there might be no favour shewn to them, but that they might be destroyed, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Thi det skete af Herren, at de forhærdede deres Hjerte, saa de mødte Israel med Krig, for at han skulde ødelægge dem, saa at der ikke skulde bevises dem Naade, men at han skulde udrydde dem, som Herren bød Mose.
21 And Joshua came at that time and cut off the Anakim from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountain of Judah, and from all the mountain of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly, with their cities.
Og Josva kom paa den samme Tid og udryddede Anakiterne af Bjerget, af Hebron, af Debir, af Anab og af alle Judas Bjerge og af alle Israels Bjerge; Josva ødelagde dem med deres Stæder.
22 There were none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel; only at Gazah, at Gath, and at Ashdod there remained.
Der blev ingen tilovers af Anakiterne i Israels Børns Land, ikkun i Gaza, i Gath og Asdod bleve de tilovers.
23 And Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Jehovah had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions, by their tribes. And the land rested from war.
Og Josva indtog hele Landet efter alt det, som Herren havde talet til Mose, og Josva gav Israel det til Arv efter deres Afdelinger i deres Stammer; og Landet hvilede fra Krig.
