Deuteronomy 2
1 And departing from thence we came into the wilderness that leadeth to the Red Sea, as the Lord had spoken to me: and we compassed mount Seir a long time.
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 the Lord said to me:
Og Herren talede til mig og sagde:
3 You have compassed this mountain long enough: go toward the north:
I have længe nok draget omkring dette Bjerg, vender eder imod Norden,
4 And command thou the people, saying: You shall pass by the borders of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, and they will be afraid of you.
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 Take ye then good heed that you stir not against them. For I will not give you of their land so much as the step of one foot can tread upon, because I have given mount Seir to Esau, for a possession.
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 You shall buy meats of them for money and shall eat: you shall draw waters for money, and shall drink.
I skulle købe Spise af dem for Penge og æde, og I skulle ogsaa købe Vand af dem for Penge og drikke;
7 The Lord thy God hath blessed thee in every work of thy hands: the Lord thy God dwelling with thee, knoweth thy journey, how thou hast passed through this great wilderness, for forty years, and thou hast wanted 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 when we had passed by our brethren the children of Esau, that dwelt in Seir, by the way of the plain from Elath and from Asiongaber, we came to the way that leadeth to the desert 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 the Lord said to me: Fight not against the Moabites, neither go to battle against them: for I will not give thee any of their land, because I have given Ar to the children of Lot in 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 Emims first were the inhabitants thereof, a people great, and strong, and so tall, that like the race of the Enacims,
Emiterne boede fordum derudi; det var et stort og stærkt og højt Folk, som Anakiterne.
11 They were esteemed as giants, and were like the sons of the Enacims. But the Moabites call them Emims.
De holdtes og for Kæmper ligesom Anakiterne, og Moabiterne kaldte dem Emiter.
12 The Horrhites also formerly dwelt in Seir: who being driven out and destroyed, the children of Esau dwelt there, as Israel did in the land of his possession, which the Lord gave him.
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 Then rising up to pass the torrent Zared, we came to it.
Gører eder nu rede og drager over Sereds Bæk; og vi droge over Sereds Bæk.
14 And the time that we journeyed from Cadesbarne till we passed over the torrent Zared, was thirty-eight years: until all the generation of the men that were fit for war was consumed out of the camp, as the Lord had sworn:
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 For his hand was against them, that they should perish from the midst of the camp.
Tilmed var og Herrens Haand imod dem til at udrydde dem af Lejren, indtil det fik Ende med dem.
16 And after all the fighting men were dead,
Og det skete, der det havde faaet Ende med alle Krigsmændene, saa de vare uddøde af Folkets Midte,
17 The Lord spoke to me, saying:
da talede Herren til mig og sagde:
18 Thou shalt pass this day the borders of Moab, the city named Ar:
Du drager i Dag igennem Moabiternes Landemærke ved Ar,
19 And when thou comest nigh the frontiers of the children of Ammon, take heed thou fight not against them, nor once move to battle: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon, because I have given it to the children of Lot for 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 It was accounted a land of giants: and giants formerly dwelt in it, whom the Ammonites call Zomzommims,
Ogsaa det er blevet holdt for et Kæmpeland, derudi boede fordum Kæmper, og Ammoniterne kaldte dem Samsummiter.
21 A people great and many, and of tall stature, like the Enacims whom the Lord destroyed before their face: and he made them to dwell 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 had done in favour of the children of Esau, that dwell in Seir, destroying the Horrhites, and delivering their land to them, which they possess 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 The Hevites also, that dwelt in Haserim as far as Gaza, were expelled by the Cappadocians: who came out of Cappadocia, and 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 Arise ye, and pass the torrent Arnon: Behold I have delivered into thy hand Sehon king of Hesebon the Amorrhite, and begin thou to possess his land and make war against him.
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 send the dread and fear of thee upon the nations that dwell under the whole heaven: that when they hear thy name they may fear and tremble, and be in pain like women in travail.
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 So I sent messengers from the wilderness of Cademoth to Sehon the king of Hesebon with peaceable words, saying:
Da sendte jeg Bud fra den Ørk Kedemoth til Sihon, Kongen af Hesbon, med fredelige Ord og lod sige:
27 We will pass through thy land, we will go along by the highway: we will not turn aside neither 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 Sell us meat for money, that we may eat: give us water for money and so we will drink. We only ask that thou wilt let us pass through,
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 have done, that dwell in Seir, and the Moabites, that abide in Ar: until we come to the Jordan, and pass to the land which the Lord our God will give 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 And Sehon the king of Hesebon would not let us pass: because the Lord thy God had hardened his spirit, and fixed his heart, that he might be delivered into thy hands, as now thou seest.
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 the Lord said to me: Behold I have begun to deliver unto thee Sehon and his land, begin to possess it.
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 Sehon came out to meet us with all his people to fight at Jasa.
Og Sihon drog ud imod os, han og alt hans Folk, til Strid ved Jaza.
33 And the Lord our God delivered him to us: and we slew him with his sons and all his 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, killing the inhabitants of them, men and women and children. We left nothing of them:
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 Except the cattle which came to the share of them that took them: and the spoils 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 upon the bank of the torrent Amen, a town that is situate in a valley, as far as Galaad. There was not a village or city, that escaped our hands: the Lord our God delivered all unto 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 Except the land of the children of Ammon, to which we approached not: and all that border upon the torrent Jeboc, and the cities in the mountains, and all the places which the Lord our God forbade 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.
