Joshua 11
1 And it comes to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor hears, that he sends to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
Og det skete, der Jabin, Kongen af Hazor, hørte det, da sendte han til Jobab, Kongen af Madon, og til Kongen af Simron og til Kongen af Aksaf,
2 and to the kings who [are] on the north in the hill-country, and in the plain south of Chinneroth, and in the low country, and in the elevations of Dor, on the west,
og til de Konger, som vare mod Norden paa Bjergene og paa den slette Mark, Sønden for Kinneroths Hav og i Lavlandet og paa Højderne ved Dor ud mod Havet,
3 [to] the Canaanite on the east, and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill-country, and the Hivite under Hermon, in the land of Mizpeh—
til Kananiterne mod Østen og mod Vesten og Amoriterne og Hethiterne og Feresiterne og Jebusiterne paa Bjergene og Heviterne neden for Hermon i Mizpa Land.
4 and they go out, they and all their camps with them, a people numerous, as the sand which [is] on the seashore for multitude, and [with] very many horse and charioteer;
Og de droge ud, de og alle deres Lejre med dem, mangfoldigt Folk som Sand, der er paa Havbredden, i Mangfoldighed, og saare mange Heste og Vogne.
5 and all these kings are met together, and they come and encamp together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.
Og alle disse Konger samledes, og de kom, og de lejrede sig tilsammen ved Søen Merom, at stride imod Israel.
6 And YHWH says to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of their presence, for about this time tomorrow I am giving all of them slain before Israel; hamstring their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.”
Og Herren sagde til Josva: Frygt ikke for deres Ansigt, thi i Morgen ved denne Tid vil jeg give dem alle sammen ihjelslagne for Israels Ansigt; du skal ødelægge deres Heste og opbrænde deres Vogne med Ild.
7 And Joshua comes, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom, and they suddenly fall on them;
Og Josva og alt Krigsfolket med ham kom over dem hasteligen ved Søen Merom, og de overfaldt dem.
8 and YHWH gives them into the hand of Israel, and they strike them and pursue them to the great Sidon, and to Misrephoth-Maim, and to the Valley of Mizpeh eastward, and they strike them, until he has not left a remnant to them;
Og Herren gav dem i Israels Haand, og de sloge dem og forfulgte dem indtil det store Zidon og indtil de hede Kilder og indtil Mizpas Dal mod Østen; og de sloge dem, indtil han ikke lod dem een blive tilovers til at undkomme.
9 and Joshua does to them as YHWH commanded to him; he has hamstrung their horses, and burned their chariots with fire.
Da gjorde Josva ved dem, saaledes som Herren havde sagt til ham; han ødelagde deres Heste og opbrændte deres Vogne med Ild.
10 And Joshua turns back at that time, and captures Hazor, and he has struck its king by the sword; for Hazor [was] formerly head of all these kingdoms;
Og Josva vendte tilbage paa den samme Tid og indtog Hazor og slog dens Konge ihjel med Sværd; thi Hazor, den var tilforn Hovedstaden for alle disse Kongeriger.
11 and they strike every person who [is] in it by the mouth of the sword; he has devoted—he has not left anyone breathing, and he has burned Hazor with fire;
Og de sloge alle Personer, som vare i den, med skarpe Sværd, saa de ødelagde den; der blev intet tilovers, som havde Aande; og han opbrændte Hazor med Ild.
12 and all the cities of these kings, and all their kings, Joshua has captured, and he strikes them by the mouth of the sword; he devoted them, as Moses, servant of YHWH, commanded.
Og Josva tog alle disse Kongers Stæder med alle deres Konger, og han slog dem med skarpe Sværd, saa at han ødelagde dem, saaledes som Mose, Herrens Tjener, havde befalet.
13 Only, all the cities which are standing by their hill, Israel has not burned them—except Joshua has burned Hazor, only;
Dog opbrændte Israel slet ingen Stæder, som staa paa deres Høje; ikkun Hazor alene opbrændte Josva.
14 and all the spoil of these cities, and the livestock, the sons of Israel have spoiled for themselves; only, they have struck every man by the mouth of the sword, until their destroying them; they have not left anyone breathing.
Og alt Byttet af disse Stæder og Kvæget røvede Israels Børn for sig; kun Menneskene sloge de med skarpe Sværd, indtil de havde ødelagt dem, de lode intet blive tilovers, som havde Aande.
15 As YHWH commanded His servant Moses, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua has done; he has not turned aside a thing of all that YHWH commanded Moses.
Lige som Herren bød Mose sin Tjener, saa bød Mose Josva, og saa gjorde Josva, han undlod ikke noget af alt det, som Herren havde befalet Mose.
16 And Joshua takes all this land: the hill-country, and all the south, and all the land of Goshen, and the low country, and the plain, even the hill-country of Israel and its low lands,
Og Josva indtog hele dette Land, Bjerglandet og Sydlandet og hele Gosen Land og Lavlandet og den slette Mark og Israels Bjerge med Lavlandet dertil,
17 from the Mount of Halak, which is going up [to] Seir, and to Ba‘al-Gad, in the Valley of Lebanon, under Mount Hermon; and he has captured all their kings, and he strikes them, and puts them to death.
fra det slette Bjerg, som strækker sig op mod Sejr, og indtil Baal-Gad ved Libanons Dal neden for det Bjerg Hermon; og han tog alle deres Konger og slog dem og dræbte dem.
18 Joshua has made war with all these kings [for] many days;
Josva førte mange Aar Krig imod alle disse Konger.
19 there has not been a city which made peace with the sons of Israel except the Hivite, inhabitants of Gibeon; they have taken the whole in battle;
Der var ikke en Stad, som gjorde Fred med Israels Børn, uden Heviterne, som boede i Gibeon; de indtoge alt med Krig.
20 for it has been from YHWH to strengthen their heart, to meet in battle with Israel, in order to devote them, so that they have no grace, but in order to destroy them, as YHWH commanded Moses.
Thi det skete af Herren, at de forhærdede deres Hjerte, saa de mødte Israel med Krig, for at han skulde ødelægge dem, saa at der ikke skulde bevises dem Naade, men at han skulde udrydde dem, som Herren bød Mose.
21 And Joshua comes at that time, and cuts off the Anakim from the hill-country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill-country of Judah, and from all the hill-country of Israel; Joshua has devoted them with their cities.
Og Josva kom paa den samme Tid og udryddede Anakiterne af Bjerget, af Hebron, af Debir, af Anab og af alle Judas Bjerge og af alle Israels Bjerge; Josva ødelagde dem med deres Stæder.
22 There has not been Anakim left in the land of the sons of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, were they left.
Der blev ingen tilovers af Anakiterne i Israels Børns Land, ikkun i Gaza, i Gath og Asdod bleve de tilovers.
23 And Joshua takes the whole of the land, according to all that YHWH has spoken to Moses, and Joshua gives it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions, by their tribes; and the land has rest from war.
Og Josva indtog hele Landet efter alt det, som Herren havde talet til Mose, og Josva gav Israel det til Arv efter deres Afdelinger i deres Stammer; og Landet hvilede fra Krig.
