Joshua 13

1 And Joshua was old, advanced in age, and Jehovah said to him, Thou art old, advanced in age, and there remaineth yet very much land to take possession of.

Da Josua var blevet gammel og til Aars, sagde HERREN til ham: »Du er blevet gammel og til Aars, og der er endnu saare meget tilbage af Landet at indtage.

2 This is the land that yet remaineth: all the districts of the Philistines and all the Geshurites,

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

3 from the Shihor, which [floweth] before Egypt, as far as the borders of Ekron northward, [and which] is counted to the Canaanite; five lordships of the Philistines: of Gazah, and of Ashdod, of Eshkalon, of Gath, and of Ekron; also the Avvites;

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 in the south, the whole land of the Canaanites, and Mearah which [belongeth] to the Sidonians, unto Aphek, to the border of the Amorites;

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

5 and the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sun-rising, from Baal-Gad at the foot of mount Hermon to the entrance 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 the inhabitants of the hill-country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, all the Sidonians; I will dispossess them from before the children of Israel. Only, partition it by lot to Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.

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

7 And now divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes, and to half the tribe of Manasseh;

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

8 with him the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of Jehovah gave them:

saavel som Rubeniterne og Gaditerne havde nemlig faaet deres Arvelod, som Moses gav dem hinsides Jordan, paa Østsiden, saaledes som HERRENS Tjener Moses gav dem,

9 from Aroer, which is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the ravine, and all the plateau of Medeba to 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 at Heshbon, to the border of the children of Ammon;

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

11 and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, and the whole of Bashan to Salcah;

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

12 all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned at Ashtaroth and at Edrei, who remained of the residue of the giants; and Moses smote them and dispossessed them.

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

13 But the children of Israel did not dispossess the Geshurites nor the Maachathites; but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites to this day.

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

14 Only to the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance: the offerings by fire of Jehovah the God of Israel are their inheritance, as he said to them.

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

15 And Moses gave [a portion] to the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their families.

Moses gav Rubeniternes Stamme Land, Slægt for Slægt,

16 And their territory was from Aroer, which is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the ravine, and all the plateau by Medeba;

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

17 Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plateau, Dibon, and Bamoth-Baal, and Beth-Baal-meon,

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

18 And Jahzah, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,

Jaza, Kedemot, Mefa'at,

19 and Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar in the mountain of the vale,

Kirjatajim, Sibma, Zeret-Sjahar paa Dalbjerget,

20 and Beth-Peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth;

Bet-Peor ved Pisgas Skrænter. Bet-Jesjimot

21 all the cities of the plateau, and the whole kingdom of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who reigned at Heshbon, whom Moses smote, him and the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the chiefs of Sihon dwelling in the land.

og alle de andre Byer paa Højsletten og hele det Rige, der havde tilhørt Amoriterkongen Sihon, 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 Balaam the son of Beor, the diviner, did the children of Israel kill with the sword among them that were slain by them.

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

23 And the border of the children of Reuben was the Jordan, and [its] border. This is the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and their hamlets.

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

24 And Moses gave [a portion] to the tribe of Gad, to the children of Gad according to their families.

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

25 And their territory was Jaazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, to Aroer which is before Rabbah;

og de fik følgende Landomraade: Ja'zer og alle Byerne i Gilead og Halvdelen af Ammoniternes Land indtil Aroer, som ligger østen for Rabba,

26 and from Heshbon to Ramath-Mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir;

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

27 and in the valley, Beth-haram, and Beth-Nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon the king of Heshbon, the Jordan and [its] border, as far as the edge of the sea of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan eastward.

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, paa Østsiden.

28 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities and their hamlets.

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

29 And Moses gave [a portion] to half the tribe of Manasseh; and for half the tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families:

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

30 their territory was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, the whole kingdom of Og the king of Bashan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities.

og deres Landomraade strakte sig fra Mahanajim over hele Basan, hele Kong Og af Basans Rige og alle Ja'irs Teltbyer, som ligger i Basan, tresindstyve Byer,

31 And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, [belonged] to the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, to the one half of the children 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 This is that which Moses allotted for inheritance in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan of Jericho, eastward.

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

33 But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance: Jehovah the God of Israel is their inheritance, as he said to them.

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