Joshua 13

1 Many years had passed by, and Joshua had grown old. The Lord spoke to him, saying, “You're now an old man, but there's still a great deal of land still to be taken.

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 remaining land: the territory of all the Philistines and all the Geshurites,

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

3 from the Shihur River on the border with Egypt north to the border of Ekron—all of which is counted as Canaanite but comes under the five Philistine lords of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron. In addition there's the land of 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, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, all the way to Aphek on the border with the Amorites,

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

5 as well as the land of the Gebalites and the Lebanon area from the town of Baalgad to the slopes of Mount Hermon to Lebo-hamath,

og det Land, som mod Øst grænser til Libanon fra Ba'al-Gad ved Hermonbjergets Fod til Egnen hen imod Hamat.

6 and the those who live in the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim, including all the land of the Sidonians. I myself will drive them out ahead of the Israelites. Just allocate the land to Israel for them to own, as I have commanded you.

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 So divide this land among the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh for them to own.”

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

8 The other half of the tribe of Manasseh, and the tribes of Reuben and Gad, had already received their land grant on the east side of the Jordan, as allotted to them by Moses, the servant of the Lord.

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 It stretched from Aroer on the edge of the Arnon valley, from the town in the middle of the valley, and all the plateau of Medeba, up to Dibon;

fra Aroer ved Arnonflodens Bred og Byen midt nede i Dalen, hele Højsletten fra Medeba til Dibon,

10 and all the towns that belonged to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon, up to the border with the Ammonites.

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

11 In addition it included Gilead, the land of the Geshurites and Maacathites, all of Mount Hermon, and all of Bashan as far as Salecah,

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

12 as well as all the land of the kingdom of Og of Bashan, who had ruled in Ashtaroth and Edrei. He was one of the last of the Rephaites. Moses had defeated them and driven them out.

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 Israelites had not driven out the Geshurites or the Maacathites, who still live among them to this very day.

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

14 Moses did not allocate any land for the Levites to own. Instead they were allotted the offerings made by fire to the Lord, the God of Israel, as the Lord had promised them.

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

15 This was the land that Moses allotted to the tribe of Reuben, by families:

Moses gav Rubeniternes Stamme Land, Slægt for Slægt,

16 Their territory stretched from Aroer on the edge of the Arnon valley, from the town in the middle of the valley, and all the plateau of Medeba;

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

17 Heshbon and all associated towns on the plateau—Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon,

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

18 Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,

Jaza, Kedemot, Mefa'at,

19 Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-shahar, on a hill in the valley,

Kirjatajim, Sibma, Zeret-Sjahar paa Dalbjerget,

20 Beth-peor, the slopes of Pisgah, Beth-jeshimoth—

Bet-Peor ved Pisgas Skrænter. Bet-Jesjimot

21 all the towns of the plateau and all the kingdom of Sihon, the Amorite king, who ruled in Heshbon. He was defeated by Moses, as well as the Midianite leaders Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, princes who lived in the kingdom and who were allied to Sihon.

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 At the same time the Israelites killed Balaam, son of Beor, the fortune-teller, along with the others who were slaughtered.

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

23 The Jordan was the boundary for the tribe of Reuben. This was the land, the towns and the villages, allotted to the tribe of Reuben, by families.

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

24 This was the land that Moses allotted to the tribe of Gad, by families:

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

25 Their territory was Jazer, all the towns of Gilead, and half of the land of the Ammonites up to Aroer, near 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 stretching from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the Debir region.

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

27 In the Jordan valley lay Beth-haram, Beth-nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon, king of Heshbon. The boundary ran along the Jordan up to the bottom end of the sea of Kinnereth and then ran east.

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 was the land, the towns and the villages, allotted to the tribe of Gad, by families.

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

29 This was the land that Moses allotted to the half-tribe of Manasseh, that is half of the tribe of the descendants of Manasseh, by families:

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

30 Their territory stretched from Manahaim through the whole of Bashan, all the kingdom of Og, and all the towns of Jair in Bashan—sixty in all.

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 Also included was Gilead, and Ashtaroth and Edrei, the towns of king Og in Bashan. This was the land allotted to the descendants of Machir, son of Manasseh, for half of them, by 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 These were the allocations that Moses made when he was in the plains of Moab, on the other side of the Jordan, east of Jericho.

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

33 However, Moses did not allot any land to the Levites, for the Lord, the God of Israel, had promised them that he would be their allocation.

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