Joshua 10
1 Now it happened when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Joshua and with Israel, and were among them;
Og det skete, der Adoni-Zedek, Kongen af Jerusalem, hørte, at Josva havde indtaget Ai og ødelagt den og gjort saa mod Ai og dens Konge, som han gjorde mod Jeriko og dens Konge, og at Indbyggerne af Gibeon havde gjort Fred med Israel og vare midt iblandt dem:
2 that they were very afraid, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
Da flygtede de saare, fordi Gibeon var en stor Stad som en af de kongelige Stæder, og fordi den var større end Ai, og alle Mændene derudi vare vældige Mænd.
3 Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, to Piram king of Jarmuth, to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,
Og Adoni-Zedek, Kongen af Jerusalem, sendte Bud til Hoham, Kongen af Hebron, og til Piream, Kongen af Jarmuth, og til Jafia, Kongen af Lakis, og til Debir, Kongen af Eglon, og lod sige:
4 "Come up to me, and help me, and let us strike Gibeon; for it has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel."
Kommer op til mig og hjælper mig, at vi kunne slaa Gibeon; thi den har gjort Fred med Josva og med Israels Børn.
5 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their armies, and camped against Gibeon, and made war against it.
Og de fem amoritiske Konger samlede sig og droge op, Kongen af Jerusalem, Kongen af Hebron, Kongen af Jarmuth, Kongen af Lakis, Kongen af Eglon, de og alle deres Lejre; og de lejrede sig mod Gibeon og strede mod den.
6 The men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, "Do not abandon your servants. Come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill country have gathered together against us."
Og de Mænd af Gibeon sendte til Josva til Lejren, til Gilgal, og lode sige: Drag ikke din Haand fra dine Tjenere, kom snart op til os og frels os og hjælp os; thi alle Amoriternes Konger, som bo paa Bjergene, have forsamlet sig imod os.
7 So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.
Og Josva drog op fra Gilgal, han og alt Krigsfolket med ham, og alle, som vare vældige til Strid.
8 YHWH said to Joshua, "Do not fear them, for I have delivered them into your hands. Not a man of them will stand before you."
Og Herren sagde til Josva: Frygt ikke for dem, thi jeg har givet dem i din Haand; der skal ikke en Mand af dem kunne staa for dit Ansigt.
9 Joshua therefore came on them suddenly. He went up from Gilgal all night.
Saa kom Josva hasteligen over dem; thi han drog den hele Nat op fra Gilgal.
10 YHWH confused them before Israel, and he killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth Horon, and struck them to Azekah and to Makkedah.
Og Herren forskrækkede dem for Israels Ansigt, saa han slog dem med et svart Slag ved Gibeon; og han forfulgte dem paa Vejen, hvor man gaar op til Beth-Horon, og slog dem indtil Aseka og indtil Makkeda.
11 And it happened, as they fled from before the children of Israel while they were at the descent of Beth Horon, that YHWH cast down stones from the sky on them as far as Azekah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than who the children of Israel killed with the sword.
Og det skete, der de flyede for Israels Ansigt, og de vare der, hvor man gaar ned til Beth-Horon, da lod Herren falde store Stene af Himmelen paa dem indtil Aseka, at de døde; de vare flere, som døde af samme Hagelstene, end de, som Israels Børn sloge ihjel med Sværdet.
12 Then Joshua spoke to YHWH in the day when YHWH delivered up the Amorites into the hand of Israel, when he struck them down at Gibeon, and they were struck down before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, "Sun, stand still on Gibeon. You, moon, stop in the Valley of Aijalon."
Da talede Josva til Herren paa samme Dag, der Harren gav Amoriterne for Israels Børns Ansigt, og han sagde for Israels Øjne: Sol, staa stille i Gibeon, og Maane, i Ajalons Dal!
13 The sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Isn't this written in the book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the midst of the sky, and did not hurry to go down about a whole day.
Saa stod Solen stille, og Maanen blev staaende, indtil Folket havde hævnet sig paa sine Fjender; er det ikke skrevet i den oprigtiges Bog? Saa blev Solen staaende midt paa Himmelen og ilede ikke til at gaa ned henved en hel Dag.
14 There was no day like that before it or after it, that YHWH listened to the voice of a man; for YHWH fought for Israel.
Og der var ingen Dag som denne, hverken før eller efter den, at Herren hørte en Mands Røst; thi Herren stred for Israel.
15 Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
Og Josva vendte tilbage og al Israel med ham til Lejren ved Gilgal.
16 These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
Men hine fem Konger vare flygtede, at de havde skjult sig i den Hule ved Makkeda.
17 Joshua was told, saying, "The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah."
Og det blev Josva tilkendegivet, at man sagde: De fem Konger ere fundne skjulte i den Hule ved Makkeda.
18 Joshua said, "Roll large stones to the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to guard them;
Og Josva sagde: Vælter store Stene for Gabet paa Hulen, og sætter Mænd ved den for at tage Vare paa dem.
19 but do not stay. Pursue your enemies, and attack them from the rear. Do not allow them to enter into their cities; for YHWH your God has delivered them into your hand."
Og I, staar ikke stille, forfølger eders Fjender og slaar deres Bagtrop; lader dem ikke komme til deres Stæder, thi Herren eders Gud har givet dem i eders Haand.
20 It happened, when Joshua and the children of Israel had finished killing them with a very great slaughter until they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,
Og det skete, der Josva og Israels Børn var færdige med at slaa dem med et saare stort Slag, indtil de havde gjort Ende paa dem, da vare nogle blevne tilovers af dem, og de kom ind i de faste Stæder.
21 that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. None moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.
Men alt Folket vendte tilbage til Josva til Lejren ved Makkeda med Fred; der havde ingen rørt sin Tunge imod Israels Børn, ja ikke mod nogen af dem.
22 Then Joshua said, "Open the mouth of the cave, and bring those five kings out of the cave to me."
Og Josva sagde: Aabner Gabet paa Hulen, og fører disse fem Konger ud til mig af Hulen!
23 They did so, and brought those five kings out of the cave to him: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
Og de gjorde saa og førte de fem Konger ud til ham af Hulen: Kongen af Jerusalem, Kongen af Hebron, Kongen af Jarmuth, Kongen af Lakis, Kongen af Eglon.
24 It happened, when they brought those kings out to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who went with him, "Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings." They came near, and put their feet on their necks.
Og det skete, der de havde ført disse Konger ud til Josva, da kaldte Josva ad alle Israels Mænd, og sagde til de Øverste for Krigsmændene, som droge med ham: Kommer frem, sætter eders Fødder paa disse Kongers Halse; saa kom de frem og satte deres Fødder paa deres Halse.
25 Joshua said to them, "Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed. Be strong and of good courage, for YHWH will do this to all your enemies against whom you fight."
Da sagde Josva til dem: Frygter ikke og forfærdes ikke, værer frimodige og værer stærke; thi Herren skal gøre saaledes imod alle eders Fjender, dem som I stride imod.
26 Afterward Joshua struck them, put them to death, and hanged them on five trees. They were hanging on the trees until the evening.
Og derefter slog Josva dem og dræbte dem og hængte dem paa fem Træer, og de bleve hængende paa Træerne indtil Aftenen.
27 It happened at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave in which they had hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, which remain to this very day.
Og det skete ved den Tid, da Solen gik ned, bød Josva, og de toge dem ned af Træerne og kastede dem i den Hule, som de havde været skjulte i; og de lagde store Stene for Gabet af Hulen, hvor de ere indtil denne Dag.
28 Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king. He utterly destroyed them and all the souls who were in it. He left none remaining. He did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
Og Josva indtog Makkeda paa den samme Dag og slog den med skarpe Sværd, og dens Konge ødelagde han tillige med alle Personer, som vare i den, han lod ingen blive tilovers til at undkomme; og han gjorde mod Kongen af Makkeda, ligesom han gjorde mod Kongen af Jeriko.
29 Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah.
Og Josva og hele Israel med ham gik over fra Makkeda til Libna, og han stred mod Libna.
30 YHWH delivered it also, with its king, into the hand of Israel. He struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls who were in it. He left none remaining in it. He did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.
Og Herren gav ogsaa den og dens Konge i Israels Haand, og han slog den med skarpe Sværd og alle Personer, som vare derudi, han lod ingen blive tilovers til at undkomme; og han gjorde mod dens Konge, ligesom han gjorde mod Kongen af Jeriko.
31 Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and camped against it, and fought against it.
Og Josva og hele Israel med ham gik over fra Libna til Lakis; og han slog Lejr imod den og stred imod den.
32 YHWH delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel. He took it on the second day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with all the souls who were in it, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
Og Herren gav Lakis i Israels Haand, og han indtog den paa den anden Dag, og han slog den med skarpe Sværd og alle Personer, som vare i den; i alle Maader, som han gjorde mod Libna.
33 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua struck him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
Da drog Horam, Kongen af Geser, op at hjælpe Lakis; men Josva slog ham og hans Folk, indtil han ikke lod nogen blive tilovers til at undkomme.
34 Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, to Eglon; and they camped against it fought against it.
Og Josva og al Israel med ham gik over fra Lakis til Eglon; og de sloge Lejr imod den og strede imod den.
35 They took it on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
Og de indtoge den paa den samme Dag og sloge den med skarpe Sværd, og han ødelagde alle Personer, som vare derudi, paa den samme Dag; i alle Maader, som han gjorde mod Lakis.
36 Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it.
Siden drog Josva og al Israel med ham op fra Eglon til Hebron, og de strede imod den.
37 They took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king and all its cities, and all the souls who were in it. He left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls who were in it.
Og de indtoge den og sloge den med skarpe Sværd og dens Konge og alle dens Stæder og alle Personer, som vare deri, han lod ingen blive tilovers til at undkomme, i alle Maader som han gjorde mod Eglon; og han ødelagde den og alle Personer, som vare i den.
38 Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fought against it.
Saa vendte Josva tilbage og hele Israel med ham til Debir og stred imod den.
39 He took it, with its king and all its cities. They struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it. He left none remaining. As he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to its king; as he had done also to Libnah, and to its king.
Og han indtog den og dens Konge og alle dens Stæder, og de sloge dem med skarpe Sværd, og de ødelagde alle Personer, som vare i den, han lod ingen blive tilovers til at undkomme; ligesom han gjorde ved Hebron, saa gjorde han ved Debir og dens Konge, og ligesom han gjorde ved Libna og dens Konge.
40 So Joshua struck all the land, the hill country, and the Negev, and the lowland, and the slopes, and all their kings. He left none remaining, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as YHWH, the God of Israel, commanded.
Saa slog Josva alt Landet paa Bjergene og mod Sønden og Lavlandet og Dalene og alle deres Konger, han lod ingen blive tilovers til at undkomme; og han ødelagde alt det, som havde Aande, som Herren Israels Gud havde befalet.
41 And Joshua struck them from Kadesh Barnea to Gaza, and the entire region of Goshen as far as Gibeon.
Og Josva slog dem fra Kades-Barnea og indtil Gaza og alt Gosen Land og indtil Gibeon.
42 Joshua took all these kings and their land at one time, because YHWH, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.
Og Josva tog alle disse Konger med deres Land paa een Gang; thi Herren Israels Gud stred for Israel.
43 Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
Saa vendte Josva tilbage og al Israel med ham til Lejren ved Gilgal.
