Deuteronomy 2
1 Then turned we, and set forward towards the desert by way of the Red Sea, as Yahweh, spake unto me; and we encompassed 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 Yahweh spake unto me, saying:
Og Herren talede til mig og sagde:
3 Long enough, have ye encompassed this mountain, —turn yourselves north, wards.
I have længe nok draget omkring dette Bjerg, vender eder imod Norden,
4 And, the people, command thou saying, Ye are about to pass through the boundary of your brethren the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, —and should they be afraid of you, take ye good heed to 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 engage in strife with them, for I will not give you of their land, so much as place for the tread of a foot-sole, —for as a possession to Esau, have I given Mount Seir.
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 with silver so shall ye eat, —yea even water, shall ye buy of them with silver so shall ye 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 Yahweh thy God, hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hand, he hath considered thy traversing of this great desert, —these forty years, hath Yahweh thy God 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 So we passed on, a way from our brethren the sons of Esau who dwell in Seir, from the way of the waste plain, from Elath, and from Ezion-geber, —and we turned and passed on by way of the desert 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 Yahweh said unto me—Do not lay siege to Moab, nor engage in strife with them in battle, —for I will not give unto thee of this land as a possession, for unto the sons of Lot, have I given Ar, as a possession.
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, formerly dwelt therein, —a people great and many and tall, like the Anakim.
Emiterne boede fordum derudi; det var et stort og stærkt og højt Folk, som Anakiterne.
11 Giants, used, they also, to be accounted like the Anakim, —but the Moabites, called them Emim.
De holdtes og for Kæmper ligesom Anakiterne, og Moabiterne kaldte dem Emiter.
12 And in Seir, dwelt the Horim aforetime, but, the sons of Esau, dispossessed them, and destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead, —as did Israel unto the land of his own possession, which Yahweh had 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, arise, and pass ye over the ravine of Zered. So we passed over the ravine of Zered.
Gører eder nu rede og drager over Sereds Bæk; og vi droge over Sereds Bæk.
14 Now, the days in which we journeyed from Kadesh-barnea, as far as where we crossed the ravine of Zered, were thirty-eight years, —until all the generation of the men of war were consumed out of the midst of the camp, as Yahweh 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 Yea, even the hand of Yahweh was against them, to destroy them out of the midst of the camp, —until they were consumed.
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 consumed by dying, out of the midst of the people,
Og det skete, der det havde faaet Ende med alle Krigsmændene, saa de vare uddøde af Folkets Midte,
17 then spake Yahweh unto me, saying:
da talede Herren til mig og sagde:
18 Thou, art passing, to-day, the boundary of Moab even Ar;
Du drager i Dag igennem Moabiternes Landemærke ved Ar,
19 so wilt thou draw near over against the sons of Ammon, do not thou besiege them neither engage in strife with them, —for I will not give of the land of the sons of Ammon unto thee as a possession, for unto the sons of Lot, have I given it as a possession.
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 A land of giants, used, that also, to be accounted, —giants, dwelt therein aforetime, but 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 many and tall, like the Anakim, —but Yahweh destroyed them from before them, and they took their possessions, 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 did for the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, —when he destroyed the Horim from before them, and they took their possessions and have 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 The Avvim also, who dwelt in settlements as far as Gaza, Caphtorim, who were coming 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 Arise ye, set forward and cross over the ravine of Arnon, see! I have given into thy hand—Sihon king of Heshbon, the Amorite and his land, begin—take possession, —and engage in strife 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 extend the dread of thee and the fear of thee over the face of the peoples under all the heavens, —who will hear the report of thee, then will they quake and writhe in pain 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 So I sent messengers out of the desert of Kademoth, unto Sihon, king of Heshbon, —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 I would pass along through thy land, by the road, by the road, will I go, —I will not turn aside, to the right hand or to 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 for silver, shalt thou sell me so will I eat, and water for silver, shalt thou let me have, so will I drink, —only I would pass through on my feet; —
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 sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, did to me, and the Moabites who are dwelling in Ar, —until that I pass over the Jordan, into the land which, Yahweh our God, is giving unto 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 Sihon king of Heshbon, was not willing, to let us pass along through it, —for Yahweh thy God had suffered him to make his spirit harsh and his heart bold, that he might give him into thy hand—(as [appeareth] 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 Then said Yahweh unto me, See! I have begun to deliver up before thee Sihon and his land, —begin take possession, that thou mayest make a possession of 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 So then Sihon came out to meet us he, and all his people, to give battle at Jahaz.
Og Sihon drog ud imod os, han og alt hans Folk, til Strid ved Jaza.
33 And Yahweh our God delivered 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 captured all his cities, at that time, and devoted to destruction every city of males, with the women and the little ones, —we left not remaining a survivor:
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, made we our prey, —and the spoil of the cities which we captured.
kun Fæet røvede vi for os og Byttet af Stæderne, som vi havde indtaget.
36 From Aroer, which is on the edge of the ravine of Arnon and the city that is in the ravine even as far as Gilead, there was not a fortress that proved too high for us, —the whole, did Yahweh our God deliver 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 sons of Ammon, didst thou not come near, —all the side of the Jabbok ravine, nor the cities of the hill country, nor any which Yahweh our God had forbidden to 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.
