Joshua 14
1 These also are the places which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the Priest, and Ioshua the sonne of Nun and the chiefe fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed to them,
Og dette er det, som Israels Børn arvede i Kanaans Land, som Eleasar, Præsten, og Josva, Nuns Søn, og Øversterne for Fædrenehusene iblandt Israels Børns Stammer, uddelte dem til Arv,
2 By the lot of their inheritance, as the Lord had commanded by the hande of Moses, to giue to the nine tribes, and the halfe tribe.
ved Lodkastning om deres Arv, som Herren havde befalet ved Mose, at give de ni Stammer og den halve Stamme.
3 For Moses had giuen inheritance vnto two tribes and an halfe tribe, beyond Iorde: but vnto the Leuites he gaue none inheritance among them.
Thi Mose havde givet de to Stammer og den halve Stamme Arv paa hin Side Jordanen; men han gav ikke Leviterne Arv midt iblandt dem.
4 For the childre of Ioseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gaue no part vnto the Leuites in the lande, saue cities to dwell in, with the suburbes of the same for their beastes and their substance.
Thi Josefs Børn vare to Stammer, Manasse og Efraim; men de gave ikke Leviterne nogen Del i Landet, uden Stæder at bo udi og Markerne deromkring for deres Kvæg og for deres Gods.
5 As the Lord had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did when they deuided the land.
Som Herren bød Mose, saa gjorde Israels Børn, og de delte Landet.
6 Then the children of Iudah came vnto Ioshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh the Kenezite saide vnto him, Thou knowest what the Lord saide vnto Moses the man of God, concerning me and thee in Kadesh-barnea.
Og Judas Børn gik frem til Josva i Gilgal, og Kaleb, Jefunne den Kenisiters Søn, sagde til ham: Du ved det Ord, som Herren talede til Mose, den Guds Mand, angaaende mig og dig i Kades-Barnea.
7 Fourtie yeere olde was I, when Moses the seruant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh-barnea to espie the land, and I brought him word againe, as I thought in mine heart.
Jeg var fyrretyve Aar gammel, der Mose, Herrens Tjener, sendte mig fra Kades-Barnea til at spejde Landet; og jeg bragte ham Svar igen, ligesom jeg mente.
8 But my brethren that went vp with me, discouraged the heart of the people: yet I followed still the Lord my God.
Men mine Brødre, som gik op med mig, mistrøstede Folkets Hjerte; men jeg efterfulgte Herren min Gud fuldkommeligen.
9 Wherefore Moses sware the same day, saying, Certainely the land whereon thy feete haue troden, shalbe thine inheritance, and thy childrens for euer, because thou hast followed constantly the Lord my God.
Da svor Mose paa den samme Dag og sagde: Det Land, som din Fod traadte paa, skal blive dig og dine Børn til Arv evindeligen, fordi du fuldkommeligen efterfulgte Herren min Gud.
10 Therefore beholde nowe, the Lord hath kept me aliue, as he promised: this is the fourtie and fift yeere since the Lord spake this thing vnto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wildernes: and nowe loe, I am this day foure score and fiue yeere olde:
Og nu, se, Herren har ladet mig leve, som han sagde, disse fyrretyve og fem Aar, fra den Tid, da Herren talede dette Ord til Mose, den Gang Israel vandrede i Ørken; og nu, se, jeg er i Dag fem og firsindstyve Aar gammel.
11 And yet am as strong at this time, as I was when Moses sent me: as strong as I was then, so strong am I nowe, either for warre, or for gouernment.
Jeg er endnu i Dag saa stærk, som paa den Dag, der Mose sendte mig: Som min Kraft var da, saa er og min Kraft nu til Krigen og til at gaa ud og til at gaa ind.
12 Nowe therefore giue me this mountaine whereof ye Lord spake in that day (for thou heardest in that day, how the Anakims were there, and the cities great and walled) if so be the Lord will be with me, that I may driue them out, as the Lord said.
Saa giv mig nu dette Bjerg, som Herren talede om paa den samme Dag; thi du hørte paa den samme Dag, at Anakiterne ere der, og store og faste Stæder; maaske Herren vil være med mig, at jeg kan fordrive dem, ligesom Herren har sagt.
13 Then Ioshua blessed him, and gaue vnto Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh, Hebron for an inheritance.
Saa velsignede Josva ham, og han gav Kaleb, Jefunne Søn, Hebron til Arv.
14 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh the Kenezite, vnto this day: because he followed constantly the Lord God of Israel.
Derfor blev Hebron Kaleb, Jefunne den Kenisiters Søn, til Arv indtil denne Dag, fordi han fuldkommeligen efterfulgte Herren Israels Gud.
15 And the name of Hebron was before time, Kiriath-arba: which Arba was a great man amog the Anakims: thus the land ceassed from warre.
Men Hebron kaldtes tilforn Arbas Stad, han var det største Menneske iblandt Anakiterne; og Landet hvilede fra Krig.
