Deuteronomy 2
1 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea, as the Lord had spoken unto me: and we traveled around mount Seir many days.
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 unto me, as followeth,
Og Herren talede til mig og sagde:
3 Ye have traveled long enough around this mountain; turn yourselves northward.
I have længe nok draget omkring dette Bjerg, vender eder imod Norden,
4 And the people command thou, saying, Ye are passing by the border of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you; therefore take ye good heed unto yourselves;
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 Do not contend with them; for I will not give unto you of their land, even so much as a foot's breadth; because unto Esau have I given mount Seir for an inheritance.
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 Food shall ye buy of them for money, that ye may eat; and water also shall ye buy of them for money, that ye may drink.
I skulle købe Spise af dem for Penge og æde, og I skulle ogsaa købe Vand af dem for Penge og drikke;
7 For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand; he hath provided for thy wandering through this great wilderness: these forty years the Lord thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked 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 we passed away from our brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way through the plain, from Elath, and from 'Ezyon-gaber. And we turned and passed the way of the wilderness 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 unto me, Do not attack the Moabites, nor contend with them in battle; for I will not give thee from their land any inheritance, because unto the children of Lot have I given 'Ar for an inheritance.
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 Emim in times past dwelt therein, a people great, and numerous, and tall as the 'Anakim;
Emiterne boede fordum derudi; det var et stort og stærkt og højt Folk, som Anakiterne.
11 As Rephaim were also they accounted, equally with the 'Anakim; and the Moabites called the[[m]] Emim.
De holdtes og for Kæmper ligesom Anakiterne, og Moabiterne kaldte dem Emiter.
12 And in Seir dwelt the Chorim in times past; but the children of Esau drove them out, and they destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel hath done unto the land of his inheritance, which the Lord hath given unto them.
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 Now rise up, and get you over the brook Zered; and we passed over the brook Zered.
Gører eder nu rede og drager over Sereds Bæk; og vi droge over Sereds Bæk.
14 And the time which we came from Kadesh-barnea', until we had passed over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were spent from out the midst of the camp, as the Lord had sworn unto them.
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 And also the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp; until they were spent.
Tilmed var og Herrens Haand imod dem til at udrydde dem af Lejren, indtil det fik Ende med dem.
16 So it came to pass, when all the men of war were spent by, dying from the midst of the people,
Og det skete, der det havde faaet Ende med alle Krigsmændene, saa de vare uddøde af Folkets Midte,
17 That the Lord spoke unto me, saying,
da talede Herren til mig og sagde:
18 Thou art passing this day by the border of Moab, by 'Ar,
Du drager i Dag igennem Moabiternes Landemærke ved Ar,
19 And thou comest nigh opposite the children of 'Ammon: do not attack them, nor contend with them; for I will not give unto thee of the land of the children of 'Ammon any inheritance; because unto the children of Lot have I given it for an inheritance.
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 As the land of Rephaim was it also accounted: Rephaim dwelt therein in times past; and the 'Ammonites called them Zamzummim;
Ogsaa det er blevet holdt for et Kæmpeland, derudi boede fordum Kæmper, og Ammoniterne kaldte dem Samsummiter.
21 A people great, and numerous, and tall, as the 'Anakim; but the Lord destroyed them before them; and they drove them out, and dwelt 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 hath done to the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from before whom he destroyed the Chorim; and they drove them out and dwelt in their stead, even unto 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 And the 'Avvim, who dwelt in open towns, as far as unto Gazzah, —the Caphtorim, who came forth out of Caphtor, 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 Rise ye up, set forward, and pass over the brook Arnon; behold I have given into thy hand Sichon the king of Cheshbon, the Emorite, and his land: begin to drive him out, and contend with him in battle.
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 put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven; whoever will hear the report of thee, shall tremble, and shall quake because of thee.
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 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sichon, the king of Cheshbon, with words of peace, saying,
Da sendte jeg Bud fra den Ørk Kedemoth til Sihon, Kongen af Hesbon, med fredelige Ord og lod sige:
27 Let me pass through thy land: always by the highway will I go along; I will not turn unto the right hand or unto 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 Food shalt thou sell me for money, that I may eat; and water for money shalt thou give me, that I may drink: only let me pass through on foot;
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 who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in 'Ar, have done unto me: ) until that I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which the Lord our God giveth 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 But Sichon, the king of Cheshbon, would not suffer our passing by him; for the Lord thy God had hardened his spirit, and had made obstinate his heart, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as [hath happened] this day.
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 unto me, Behold, I have begun to give up Sichon and his land before thee: begin to drive him out, that thou mayest inherit his land.
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 Sichon came out against us, he and all his people, to the battle at Yahaz.
Og Sihon drog ud imod os, han og alt hans Folk, til Strid ved Jaza.
33 And the Lord our God gave him up before us; and we smote him, and 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 conquered all his cities at that time, and devoted every inhabited city, and the women, and the little ones; we left none that escaped.
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 Only the cattle we took as booty unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we had captured.
kun Fæet røvede vi for os og Byttet af Stæderne, som vi havde indtaget.
36 From 'Aro'er, which is by the bank of the brook of Arnon, and the city that is in the brook, even unto Gil'ad, there was not one city which was too strong for us; the whole did the Lord our God give up before 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 Only unto the land of the children of 'Ammon didst thou not come nigh, unto the whole margin of the brook Yabbok, and the cities in the mountain, and unto whatsoever the Lord our God had forbidden 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.
