Joshua 13

1 Now, Joshua, was old, advanced in days, —so then Yahweh said unto him—Thou, art old, advanced in days, and, much the larger part of the land, remaineth to be possessed.

Da Josua var blevet gammel og til Aars, sagde HERREN til ham: »Du er blevet gammel og til Aars, og der er endnu saare meget tilbage af Landet at indtage.

2 This, is the land that remaineth, —all the regions of the Philistines, and all the Geshuri;

Dette er det Land, som er tilbage: Hele Filisternes Landomraade og alle Gesjuriterne,

3 from the Shihor which faceth Egypt, even as far as the boundary of Ekron, northward, to the Canaanites, is it counted, —five princes of Philistines, the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites, also the Avvim

Landet fra Sjihor østen for Ægypten indtil Ekrons Landemærke i Nord — det regnes til Kana'anæerne — de fem Filisterfyrster i Gaza, Asdod, Askalon, Gat og Ekron, desuden Avviterne

4 on the south: all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah which belongeth to the Zidonians, as far as Aphek, —as far as the boundary of the Amorites;

mod Syd, hele Kana'anæerlandet fra Meara, som tilhører Zidonierne, indtil Afek og til Amoriternes Landemærke,

5 and the land of the Gebalites, and all the Lebanon, to the rising of the sun, from Baal-gad, under Mount Hermon, —as far as the entering in of Hamath:

og det Land, som mod Øst grænser til Libanon fra Ba'al-Gad ved Hermonbjergets Fod til Egnen hen imod Hamat.

6 all the inhabitants of the hill country, from the Lebanon as far as Misrephoth-maim—all the Zidonians, I myself, will dispossess them from before the sons of Israel, —nevertheless, assign thou it by lot unto Israel, for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.

Alle Indbyggerne i Bjerglandet fra Libanon til Misrefot Majim, alle Zidonierne, vil jeg drive bort foran Israeliterne. Tildel kun Israel det som Ejendom, saaledes som jeg har paalagt dig.

7 Now, therefore, apportion this land as an inheritance, unto the nine tribes, —and the half tribe of Manasseh.

Udskift derfor dette Land som Ejendom til de halvtiende Stammer.« Manasses halve Stamme

8 With them, the, Reubenites and the Gadites, received their inheritance, —which Moses gave them beyond the Jordan, eastward, as Moses the servant of Yahweh gave unto them:

saavel som Rubeniterne og Gaditerne havde nemlig faaet deres Arvelod, som Moses gav dem hinsides Jordan, paa Østsiden, saaledes som HERRENS Tjener Moses gav dem,

9 from Aroer, which is on the edge of the ravine of Arnon, and the city, which is in the midst of the ravine, and all the table-land of Medeba, as far as Dibon;

fra Aroer ved Arnonflodens Bred og Byen midt nede i Dalen, hele Højsletten fra Medeba til Dibon,

10 and all the cities of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, —as far as the boundary of the sons of Ammon;

alle de Byer, som havde tilhørt Amoriterkongen Sihon, der herskede i Hesjbon, indtil Ammoniternes Landemærke,

11 and Gilead, and the boundary of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan, as far as Salecah;

fremdeles Gilead og Gesjuriternes og Ma'akatiternes Landemærke, hele Hermonbjerget og hele Basan indtil Salka,

12 all the kingdom of Og, in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, —he, being left of the remnant of the giants; and Moses smote them and dispossessed them;

hele det Rige, der havde tilhørt Og af Basan, som herskede i Asjtarot og Edre'i, den sidste, der var tilbage af Refaiterne; Moses havde overvundet dem alle og drevet dem bort.

13 the sons of Israel, however, did not dispossess, the Geshurites or the Maacathites, —but Geshur and Maacath have remained in the midst of Israel until this day.

Men Israeliterne drev ikke Gesjuriterne og Ma'akatiterne bort, saa at Gesjur og Ma'akat bor iblandt Israel den Dag i Dag.

14 Howbeit, unto the tribe of Levi, gave he no inheritance, —the altar-flames of Yahweh God of Israel, are his inheritance, as he spake unto him.

Kun Levis Stamme gav han ingen Arvelod; HERREN, Israels Gud, er hans Arvelod, saaledes som han tilsagde ham.

15 Thus then Moses gave [an inheritance] unto the tribe of the sons of Reuben by their families;

Moses gav Rubeniternes Stamme Land, Slægt for Slægt,

16 and their boundary was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the ravine of Arnon and the city which is in the midst of the ravine and all the table-land by Medeba;

og de fik deres Omraade fra Aroer ved Arnonflodens Bred og Byen midt nede i Dalen, hele Højsletten indtil

17 Heshbon and all her cities which are on the table-land, —Dibon and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon;

Hesjbon og alle de Byer, som ligger paa Højsletten, Dibon, Bamot-Ba'al, Bet-Ba'al-Meon,

18 and Jahaz and Kedemoth and Maphaath;

Jaza, Kedemot, Mefa'at,

19 and Kiriathaim and Sibmah, and Zareth-shahar on the mount of the vale;

Kirjatajim, Sibma, Zeret-Sjahar paa Dalbjerget,

20 and Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth;

Bet-Peor ved Pisgas Skrænter. Bet-Jesjimot

21 and all the cities of the table-land, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, —whom Moses smote—with the princes of Midian, Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, dukes of Sihon dwelling in the land;

og alle de andre Byer paa Højsletten og hele det Rige, der havde tilhørt Amoriterkongen Sihon, som herskede i Hesjbon, hvem Moses havde overvundet tillige med Midjans Fyrster Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur og Reba, der var Sihons Lydkonger og boede i Landet;

22 Balaam also son of Beor, the diviner, did the sons of Israel slay with the sword among their slain.

ogsaa Sandsigeren Bileam, Beors Søn, havde Israeliterne dræbt med Sværdet sammen med de andre af dem, der blev slaaet ihjel.

23 And so the boundary of the sons of Reuben was the Jordan and district. This, is the inheritance of the sons of Reuben by their families, the cities and the villages thereof.

Rubeniternes Grænse blev Jordan; den var Grænseskel. Det var Rubeniternes Arvelod efter deres Slægter, de nævnte Byer med Landsbyer.

24 And Moses gave [an inheritance] unto the tribe of Gad, unto the sons of Gad by their families;

Og Moses gav Gads Stamme, Gaditerne, Land, Slægt for Slægt,

25 and their boundary was—Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the sons of Ammon, —as far as Aroer, which faceth Rabbah;

og de fik følgende Landomraade: Ja'zer og alle Byerne i Gilead og Halvdelen af Ammoniternes Land indtil Aroer, som ligger østen for Rabba,

26 and from Heshbon as far as Ramath-mizpeh, and Botonim, —and from Mahanaim as far as the boundary of Debir;

og Landet fra Hesjbon til Ramat-Mizpe og Betonim, og fra Mahanajim til Lodebars Landemærke;

27 and in the valley—Beth-haram and Beth-nimrah and Succoth and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan and district, —as far as the end of the sea of Chinnereth, beyond the Jordan eastward.

og i Lavningen Bet-Haram, Bet-Nimra, Sukkot og Zafon, Resten af Kong Sihon af Hesjbons Rige, med Jordan til Grænse, indtil Enden af Kinnerets Sø, hinsides Jordan, paa Østsiden.

28 This, is the inheritance of the sons of Gad, by their families, —the cities and the villages thereof.

Det var Gaditernes Arvelod efter deres Slægter: de nævnte Byer med Landsbyer.

29 And Moses gave [an inheritance] unto the half tribe of Manasseh, —so it belonged to the half tribe of the sons of Manasseh by their families;

Og Moses gav Manasses halve Stamme Land, Slægt for Slægt;

30 and their boundary was—from Mahanaim all Bashan all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan and all the Encampments of Jair which are in Bashan three-score cities;

og deres Landomraade strakte sig fra Mahanajim over hele Basan, hele Kong Og af Basans Rige og alle Ja'irs Teltbyer, som ligger i Basan, tresindstyve Byer,

31 and, half Gilead and Ashtaroth and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, pertained to the sons of Machir son of Manasseh, to half the sons of Machir by their families.

Halvdelen af Gilead og Asjtarot og Edre'i, Ogs Kongsbyer i Basan; det gav han Manasses Søn Makirs Sønner, Halvdelen af Makirs Sønner, Slægt for Slægt.

32 These, are [the portions] which Moses gave for inheritance, in the waste plains of Moab, —over the Jordan by Jericho eastward.

Det er alt, hvad Moses udskiftede paa Moabs Sletter hinsides Jordan over for Jeriko, paa Østsiden.

33 But, unto the tribe of Levi, Moses gave no inheritance, —Yahweh God of Israel, he, was their inheritance, as he spake unto them.

Men Levis Stamme gav Moses ingen Arvelod; HERREN, Israels Gud, er deres Arvelod, saaledes som han tilsagde dem.
