Deuteronomy 3
1 And we turned, and went up the way to Bashan; and 'Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to the battle at Edre'i.
Derpaa brød vi op og drog mod Basan. Og Kong Og af Basan rykkede med alle sine Krigere ud imod os til Kamp ved Edre'i.
2 And the Lord said unto me, Fear him not; for into thy hand have I given him, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do unto him as thou hast done unto Sichon, the king of the Emorites, who dwelt at Cheshbon.
Da sagde HERREN til mig: »Frygt ikke for ham, thi jeg giver ham i din Haand tillige med hele hans Folk og Land, og du skal gøre ved ham, som du gjorde ved Sihon, Amoriterkongen i Hesjbon.«
3 And the Lord our God gave into our hands also 'Og the king of Bashan, and all his people; and we smote him until none was left to him who escaped.
Saa gav HERREN vor Gud ogsaa Kong Og af Basan og alle hans Krigere i vor Haand, og vi slog ham, saa ikke en eneste undslap.
4 And we conquered all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of 'Og in Bashan.
Vi indtog dengang alle hans Byer; der var ikke een By, vi ikke fratog dem, i alt tresindstyve Byer, hele Landskabet Argob, Ogs Kongerige i Basan,
5 all these were fortified cities, with high walls, gates, and bars; besides the unwalled towns, which were a great many.
lutter Byer, der var befæstet med høje Mure, Porte og Portslaaer, foruden de mange aabne Byer;
6 And we devoted them, as we had done unto Sichon the king of Cheshbon, devoting every inhabited city, the women, and the little ones.
og vi lagde Band paa dem, ligesom vi havde gjort ved Kong Sihon i Hesjbon, i enhver By lagde vi Band paa Mænd, Kvinder og Børn;
7 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took as booty to ourselves.
men alt Kvæget, og hvad vi røvede fra Byerne, tog vi selv som Bytte.
8 And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Emorites the land which is on this side of the Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Chermon;
Saaledes erobrede vi dengang Landet fra de to Amoriterkonger hinsides Jordan fra Arnonfloden til Hermonbjerget —
9 (The Sidonians call Chermon Siryon; and the Emorites call it Senir; )
Zidonierne kalder Hermon Sirjon, men Amoriterne kalder det Senir —
10 All the cities of the plain, and all Gil'ad, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of 'Og in Bashan.
alle Byerne paa Højsletten, hele Gilead og hele Basan lige til Salka og Edre'i, Byer i Kong Ogs Rige i Basan.
11 For only 'Og the king of Bashan had been left of the remnant of the Rephaim; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; lo! it is in Rabbah of the children of 'Ammon: nine cubits is its length, and four cubits its breadth, after the arm of a man.
(Thi Kong Og af Basan var den eneste, der endnu var tilbage af Refaiterne; hans Kiste, en Jernkiste, staar jo endnu i Rabba i Ammon, ni Alen lang og fire Alen bred efter vanligt Maal.)
12 And of this land, of which we took possession at that time, from 'Aro'er, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gil'ad, and the cities thereof, I gave unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
Saaledes tog vi dengang dette Land i Besiddelse. Landet fra Aroer, der ligger ved Arnonfloden, og Halvdelen af Gileads Bjerge med Byerne der gav jeg Rubeniterne og Gaditerne;
13 And the rest of Gil'ad, and all Bashan, the kingdom of 'Og, I gave unto the half tribe of Menasseh: all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, this is called the land of Rephaim.
men Resten af Gilead og hele Basan, Ogs Rige, gav jeg til Manasses halve Stamme, hele Landskabet Argob. (Det er hele dette Basan, man kalder Refaiterland.)
14 Yair the son of Menasseh took all the region of Argob up to the border of the Geshurites and the Ma-'achathites; and he called them the [land of] Bashan, after his own name, the villages of Yair, unto this day.
Manasses Søn Ja'ir erobrede hele Landskabet Argob indtil Gesjuriternes og Ma'akatiternes Egne og kaldte dem Ja'irs Teltbyer efter sig selv, som de hedder endnu den Dag i Dag.
15 And unto Machir I gave Gil'ad.
Og Makir gav jeg Gilead;
16 And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gil'ad even unto the brook Arnon, the land within the river and that adjoining, even unto the brook Yabbok, the border of the children of 'Ammon;
og Rubeniterne og Gaditerne gav jeg Landet fra Gilead til Arnonfloden med Dalens Midtlinie som Grænse og til Jabbokfloden, Ammoniternes Grænse,
17 The plain also, and the Jordan, and the adjoining land, from Kinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, the Salt Sea, under the declivities of Pisgah, eastward.
og Arabalavningen med Jordan som Grænse fra Kinneret til Araba— eller Salthavet ved Foden af Pisgas Skrænter mod Øst.
18 And I commanded you at that time, saying, The Lord your God hath given you this land to possess it: armed shall ye pass over before your brethren the children of Israel, all that are fit to bear arms.
Dengang gav jeg eder følgende Paabud: »HERREN eders Gud har givet eder dette Land i Eje; men I skal, saa mange krigsdygtige Mænd I er, drage væbnede i Spidsen for eders Brødre Israeliterne —
19 But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (I know that ye have much cattle, ) shall abide in your cities which I have given you;
kun eders Kvinder, Børn og Kvæg (jeg ved, at I har meget Kvæg) skal blive tilbage i de Byer, jeg giver eder —
20 Until that the Lord have given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and they also have taken possession of the land which the Lord your God giveth them beyond the Jordan: then shall ye return every man unto his possession which I have given you.
indtil HERREN bringer eders Brødre til Hvile ligesom eder, og de ogsaa faar taget det Land i Besiddelse, som HERREN eders Gud vil give dem hinsides Jordan; saa kan enhver af eder vende tilbage til den Ejendom, jeg har givet eder!«
21 And Joshua also I commanded at that time, saying, Thy own eyes have seen all that the Lord your God hath done unto these two kings: thus will the Lord do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest.
Og Josua gav jeg dengang følgende Paabud: »Du har med egne Øjne set alt, hvad HERREN eders Gud har gjort ved disse to Konger; saaledes vil HERREN ogsaa gøre ved alle de Riger, du drager over til.
22 Ye shall not fear them; for the Lord your God it is who fighteth for you.
Du skal ikke frygte for dem; thi HERREN eders Gud vil selv kæmpe for eder!«
23 And I besought the Lord at that time, saying,
Og dengang bad jeg saaledes til HERREN:
24 O Lord Eternal, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand; for what God is there in heaven or on earth, that can do aught like thy works, and like thy mighty deeds?
»Herre, HERRE! Du har begyndt at vise din Tjener din Storhed og din stærke Haand! Thi hvem er den Gud i Himmelen og paa Jorden, der kan gøre saadanne Gerninger og Storværker som du?
25 Let me go over, I pray thee, that I may see the good land which is on the other side of the Jordan, this goodly mountain, and the Lebanon.
Lad mig da faa Lov at drage over og se det herlige Land hinsides Jordan, det herlige Bjergland og Libanon!«
26 But the Lord was wroth with me for your sakes, and he would not hear me: and the Lord said unto me, Let it suffice thee; do not continue to speak unto me any more of this matter.
Men HERREN var vred paa mig for eders Skyld og hørte mig ikke, men han sagde til mig: »Lad det være nok, tal ikke mere til mig om den Sag;
27 Get thee up unto the top of Pisgah, and lift up thy eyes, westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thy eyes; for thou shalt not pass over this Jordan.
men stig op paa Pisgas Tinde, løft dit Blik mod Vest og Nord, mod Syd og Øst, og tag det i Øjesyn. Thi du kommer ikke til at drage over Jordan dernede;
28 And do thou charge Joshua, and strengthen him, and encourage him; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall divide out to them the land which thou shalt see.
men sig Josua, hvad han skal, og sæt Mod i ham og styrk ham, thi det bliver ham, der skal drage over i Spidsen for dette Folk, og ham, der skal give dem det Land, du ser, i Eje.«
29 And we abode in the valley opposite Beth-peor.
Saa blev vi i Dalen lige over for Bet-Peor.
