Numbers 32
1 Now the people of Reuben and the people of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that look, the place was a place for livestock;
Og Rubens Børn og Gads Børn havde meget og saare talrigt Kvæg, og de saa det Land Jaeser og det Land Gilead, og se, det Sted var et bekvemt Sted til Kvæg.
2 the people of Gad and the people of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the leaders of the congregation, saying,
Og Gads Børn og Rubens Børn kom, og de sagde til Mose og til Eleasar, Præsten, og til Menighedens Fyrster, sigende:
3 "Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sibmah, and Nebo, and Beon,
Atharoth og Dibon og Jaeser og Nimra og Hesbon og Eleale og Sebam og Nebo og Beon,
4 the land which the LORD struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock."
det Land, som Herren har slaaet for Israels Menigheds Ansigt, det er et Land til Kvæg, og dine Tjenere have Kvæg.
5 They said, "If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession; do not bring us over the Jordan."
Og de sagde: Dersom vi have fundet Naade for dine Øjne, da lad dette Land gives dine Tjenere til Ejendom, lad os ikke gaa over Jordanen.
6 Moses said to the people of Gad, and to the people of Reuben, "Shall your brothers go to the war, and shall you sit here?
Da sagde Mose til Gads Børn og til Rubens Børn: Skulle eders Brødre drage i Krigen, og I skulle blive her?
7 Why do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD has given them?
Og hvi afvende I Israels Børns Hjerter fra at drage over til det Land, som Herren har givet dem?
8 Your fathers did so when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.
Saa gjorde eders Fædre, da jeg sendte dem fra Kades-Barnea til at bese Landet;
9 For when they went up to the Valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
thi de gik op til Eskols Bæk og besaa Landet, og de afvendte Israels Børns Hjerte, at de ikke vilde gaa ind i Landet, som Herren havde givet dem.
10 The LORD's anger was kindled in that day, and he swore, saying,
Og Herrens Vrede optændtes den samme Dag, og han svor og sagde:
11 'Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
Disse Mænd, som ere dragne op af Ægypten, fra tyve Aar gamle og derover, skulle ikke se det Land, som jeg har tilsvoret Abraham, Isak og Jakob; thi de have ikke efterfulgt mig,
12 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; because they have followed the LORD completely.'
undtagen Kaleb, Jefunne den Kenisiters Søn, og Josva, Nuns Søn; thi de have efterfulgt Herren.
13 The LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, who had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.
Saa optændtes Herrens Vrede imod Israel, og han lod dem vanke hid og did i Ørken fyrretyve Aar, indtil hele den Slægt fik Ende, som gjorde det onde for Herrens Øjne.
14 "Look, you have risen up in your fathers' place, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.
Og se, I ere traadte op i eders Fædres Sted, en Mængde af syndige Mennesker, for at gøre Herrens Vrede endnu større imod Israel;
15 For if you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and you will destroy all this people."
thi dersom I vende eder bort fra ham, da skal han lade det blive endnu længere i Ørken; og dermed bringe I Fordærvelse over hele dette Folk.
16 They came near to him, and said, "We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones:
Da gik de frem til ham og sagde: Vi ville ikkun bygge Faarestier her til vort Kvæg, og Stæder for vore smaa Børn.
17 but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
Men vi ville væbne os og ile foran Israels Børns Ansigt, indtil vi have ført dem til deres Sted, og vore smaa Børn skulle blive i de faste Stæder, for Landets Indbyggeres Skyld.
18 We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
Vi ville ikke vende tilbage til vore Huse, førend Israels Børn have indtaget hver sin Arv.
19 For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, and forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward."
Thi vi ville ikke arve med dem paa hin Side Jordanen og videre frem; men vor Arv skal tilfalde os paa denne Side Jordanen mod Østen.
20 Moses said to them, "If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before the LORD to the war,
Og Mose sagde til dem: Dersom I ville gøre denne Gerning, dersom I ville væbne eder til Strid for Herrens Ansigt,
21 and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before the LORD, until he has driven out his enemies from before him,
og hver af eder bevæbnet vil drage over Jordanen for Herrens Ansigt, indtil han har fordrevet sine Fjender fra sit Ansigt,
22 and the land is subdued before the LORD; then afterward you shall return, and be guiltless towards the LORD, and towards Israel; and this land shall be to you for a possession before the LORD.
og Landet bliver undertvunget for Herrens Ansigt: Saa maa I derefter vende tilbage, og I skulle være uden Skyld for Herren og for Israel, og I skulle have dette Land til Ejendom for Herrens Ansigt.
23 "But if you will not do so, look, you have sinned against the LORD; and be sure your sin will find you out.
Men dersom I ikke ville gøre saaledes, se, da have I syndet imod Herren; og vider, at eders Synd skal finde eder.
24 Build cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth."
Saa bygger eder Stæder for eders smaa Børn og Stier for eders smaa Kvæg, og gører efter det, som er udgaaet af eders Mund.
25 The people of Gad and the people of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, "Your servants will do as my lord commands.
Og Gads Børn og Rubens Børn sagde til Mose, sigende: Dine Tjenere skulle gøre, saaledes, som min Herre har befalet.
26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock, shall be there in the cities of Gilead;
Vore smaa Børn, vore Hustruer, vort Fæ og alt vort Kvæg, de skulle blive der, i Gileads Stæder;
27 but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord says."
men dine Tjenere ville drage over, hver bevæbnet til Strid for Herrens Ansigt, i Krigen, som min Herre siger.
28 So Moses commanded concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the ancestral houses of the tribes of the children of Israel.
Da gav Mose Befaling angaaende dem til Eleasar, Præsten, og Josva, Nuns Søn, og de Øverste for Fædrenehusene blandt Israels Børns Stammer.
29 Moses said to them, "If the people of Gad and the people of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man who is armed to battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you; then you are to give them the land of Gilead for a possession.
Og Mose sagde til dem: Dersom Gads Børn og Rubens Børn drage med eder over Jordanen, hver bevæbnet til Krigen, for Herrens Ansigt, og Landet er undertvunget for eders Ansigt, da skulle I give dem det Land Gilead til Ejendom.
30 But if they will not pass over with you armed to battle before the LORD, then you are to bring over their children and their wives and their flocks before you into the land of Canaan, and they are to have possessions among you in the land of Canaan."
Men dersom de ikke drage bevæbnede over med eder, da skulle de tage Arv midt iblandt eder i Kanaans Land.
31 The people of Gad and the people of Reuben answered, saying, "As the LORD has said to your servants, so will we do.
Og Gads Børn og Rubens Børn svarede og sagde: Som Herren har talet til dine Tjenere, saaledes ville vi gøre.
32 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan."
Vi ville drage bevæbnede for Herrens Ansigt over i Kanaans Land, og vor Arvs Ejendom skulle vi have paa denne Side Jordanen.
33 Moses gave to them, even to the people of Gad, and to the people of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, according to its cities and borders, even the cities of the surrounding land.
Saa gav Mose dem, nemlig Gads Børn og Rubens Børn og Halvdelen af Manasse, Josefs Søns, Stamme, Sihons, den amoritiske Konges, Rige og Ogs, Kongen af Basans, Rige, Landet med dets Stæder inden deres Grænser, Landets Stæder trindt omkring.
34 The people of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
Saa byggede Gads Børn Dibon og Ataroth og Aroer
35 and Atrothshophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah,
og Ataroth-Sofan og Jaeser og Jogbea
36 and Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran: fortified cities, and folds for sheep.
og Beth-Nimra og Beth-Haran, faste Stæder og Faarestier.
37 The people of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim,
Og Rubens Børn byggede Hesbon og Eleale og Kirjathajim
38 and Nebo, and Baal Meon, (their names being changed), and Sibmah: and they gave other names to the cities which they built.
og Nebo og Baal-Meon, som de forandrede Navnene paa, og Sibma; og de gave Stæderne, som de byggede, Navne, hver sit Navn.
39 The descendants of Makir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it.
Og Makirs, Manasse Søns, Børn gik ind i Gilead og indtoge det; og de fordreve Amoriterne, som vare der udi.
40 Moses gave Gilead to Makir the son of Manasseh; and he lived in it.
Da gav Mose Makir, Manasse Søn, Gilead, og han boede derudi.
41 Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its towns, and called them Havvoth Jair.
Men Jair, Manasse Søn, gik hen og indtog deres Smaabyer og kaldte dem Havoth-Jair.
42 Nobah went and took Kenath, and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
Og Noba gik hen og indtog Kenat og dens tilliggende Byer og kaldte den Noba efter sit Navn.
