Joshua 24
1 And he gathered Joshua all [the] tribes of Israel Shechem towards and he summoned [the] elders of Israel and leaders its and judges its and officials its and they presented themselves before God.
Og Josva samlede alle Israels Stammer til Sikem, og han sammenkaldte Israels Ældste og deres Øverster og deres Dommere og deres Fogeder, og de stillede sig for Guds Ansigt.
2 And he said Joshua to all the people thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel on [the] other side of the river they dwelt ancestors your from long ago Terah [the] father of Abraham and [the] father of Nahor and they served gods other.
Da sagde Josva til alt Folket: Saa siger Herren, Israels Gud: Eders Fædre boede fordum paa hin Side Floden, Thara, Abrahams Fader og Nakors Fader, og de tjente andre Guder.
3 And I took ancestor your Abraham from [the] other side of the river and I led him in all [the] land of Canaan (and I increased *Q(k)*) offspring his and I gave to him Isaac.
Og jeg tog eders Fader Abraham fra hin Side Floden og lod ham vandre om i hele Kanaans Land, og jeg formerede hans Sæd og gav ham Isak.
4 And I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau and I gave to Esau [the] mountain of Seir to take possession of it and Jacob and sons his they went down Egypt.
Og Isak gav jeg Jakob og Esau; og jeg gav Esau Sejrs Bjerg til Eje, men Jakob og hans Børn droge ned til Ægypten.
5 And I sent Moses and Aaron and I struck Egypt just as I did in midst its and after I brought out you.
Da sendte jeg Mose og Aron og slog Ægypterne, ligesom jeg gjorde midt iblandt dem; og derefter førte jeg eder ud.
6 And I brought out fathers your from Egypt and you came the sea towards and they pursued Egypt after fathers your with chariotry and with horsemen [the] sea of reed[s].
Og jeg udførte eders Fædre af Ægypten, og I kom til Havet; og Ægypterne forfulgte eders Fædre med Vogne og med Ryttere til det røde Hav.
7 And they cried out to Yahweh and he put darkness between you - and between the Egyptians and he brought over it the sea and it covered it and they saw eyes your [that] which I did in Egypt and you dwelt in the wilderness days many.
Da raabte de til Herren, og han satte et Mørke imellem eder og imellem Ægypterne og lod Havet komme over dem, og det skjulte dem, og eders Øjne have set det, som jeg gjorde i Ægypten; og I bleve i Ørken mange Aar.
8 (And I brought *Q(K)*) you to [the] land of the Amorite[s] who dwelt on [the] other side of the Jordan and they fought with you and I gave them in hand your and you took possession of land their and I destroyed them from before you.
Og jeg førte eder ind i Amoriternes Land, som boede paa hin Side Jordanen, og de strede mod eder; og jeg gav dem i eders Haand, saa at I indtoge deres Land til Ejendom, og jeg ødelagde dem for eders Ansigt.
9 And he arose Balak [the] son of Zippor [the] king of Moab and he fought against Israel and he sent and he summoned Balaam [the] son of Beor to curse you.
Da gjorde Balak, Zippors Søn, Moabs Konge, sig rede og stred mod Israel, og han sendte hen og kaldte Bileam, Beors Søn, til at forbande eder.
10 And not I was willing to listen to Balaam and he blessed continuously you and I delivered you from hand his.
Men jeg vilde ikke høre Bileam; og han velsignede eder, og jeg reddede eder af hans Haand.
11 And you passed over the Jordan and you came to Jericho and they fought against you [the] citizens of Jericho the Amorite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Canaanite[s] and the Hittite[s] and the Girgashite[s] the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s] and I gave them in hand your.
Og der I gik over Jordanen og kom til Jeriko, da strede Mændene af Jeriko, Amoriterne og Feresiterne og Kananiterne og Hethiterne og Girgasiterne og Heviterne og Jebusiterne imod eder; men jeg gav dem i eders Haand.
12 And I sent before you the hornet and it drove out them from before you [the] two [the] kings of the Amorite[s] not by sword your and not by bow your.
Og jeg sendte foran eder Gedehamse, som uddreve dem fra eders Ansigt, saa vel som de to Amoriters Konger, ikke med dit Sværd, ej heller med din Bue.
13 And I gave to you a land - which not you had labored for it and cities which not you had built and you dwelt in them vineyards and olive trees which not you had planted you [are] eating.
Og jeg gav eder et Land, paa hvilket du ikke har arbejdet, og Stæder, som I ikke have bygget, og I bo udi dem; af Vingaarde og af Oliegaarde, som I ikke have plantet, æde I.
14 And therefore fear Yahweh and serve him in integrity and in faithfulness and remove [the] gods which they served ancestors your on [the] other side of the river and in Egypt and serve Yahweh.
Saa frygter nu Herren og tjener ham i Oprigtighed og i Sandhed, og borttager de Guder, som eders Fædre tjente paa hin Side Floden og i Ægypten, og tjener Herren!
15 And if is displeasing in view your to serve Yahweh choose for yourselves this day whom? will you serve! whether [the] gods which they served ancestors your who ([were] from [the] other side of *Q(K)*) the river and or [the] gods of the Amorite[s] whom you [are] dwelling in land their and I and household my we will serve Yahweh.
Og om det mishager eder at tjene Herren, saa udvælger eder i Dag, hvem I ville tjene, enten de Guder, som eders Fædre, der vare paa hin Side Floden, tjente, eller Amoriternes Guder, i hvis Land I bo; men jeg og mit Hus, vi ville tjene Herren.
16 And it answered the people and it said far be it to us from forsaking Yahweh to serve gods other.
Da svarede Folket og sagde: Det være langt fra os at forlade Herren for at tjene andre Guder.
17 For Yahweh God our he [is] the [one who] brought up us and fathers our from [the] land of Egypt from a house of slaves and [the one] who he did to eyes our the signs great these and he kept us in all the way which we went in it and among all the peoples which we passed in midst their.
Thi Herren vor Gud, han er den, som førte os og vore Fædre op af Ægyptens Land, af Trælles Hus, og som gjorde disse store Tegn for vore Øjne og bevarede os paa al den Vej, hvorpaa vi gik, og iblandt alle de Folk, vi have gaaet midt igennem.
18 And he drove out Yahweh all the peoples and the Amorite[s] [who] dwelt of the land from before us also we we will serve Yahweh for he [is] God our.
Og Herren har uddrevet alle Folkene, endog Amoriten, som boede i Landet, fra vort Ansigt; ogsaa vi ville tjene Herren, thi han er vor Gud.
19 And he said Joshua to the people not you will be able to serve Yahweh for [is] a God holy he [is] a God jealous he not he will forgive to transgression your and sins your.
Og Josva sagde til Folket: I kunne ikke tjene Herren, thi han er en hellig Gud, han er en nidkær Gud, han skal ikke bære over med eders Overtrædelser og eders Synder.
20 If you will forsake Yahweh and you will serve gods of foreignness and he will turn and he will do harm to you and he will make an end of you after that he has done good to you.
Naar I forlade Herren og tjene fremmede Guder, da skal han vende om og gøre eder ondt og fortære eder, efter at han har gjort eder godt.
21 And it said the people to Joshua In-deed Yahweh we will serve.
Og Folket sagde til Josva: Ingenlunde! men vi ville tjene Herren.
22 And he said Joshua to the people [are] witnesses you on yourselves that you you have chosen for yourselves Yahweh to serve him and they said witnesses.
Da sagde Josva til Folket: I ere selv Vidner imod eder, at I have udvalgt eder Herren til at tjene ham; og de sagde: Vi ere Vidner.
23 And therefore remove [the] gods of foreignness which [are] in midst your and turn heart your to Yahweh [the] God of Israel.
Saa borttager nu de fremmede Guder, som ere midt iblandt eder, og bøjer eders Hjerter til Herren, Israels Gud.
24 And they said the people to Joshua Yahweh God our we will serve and to voice his we will listen.
Og Folket sagde til Josva: Vi ville tjene Herren vor Gud, og vi ville høre hans Røst.
25 And he made Joshua a covenant to the people on the day that and he established for it a decree and a judgment at Shechem.
Saa gjorde Josva paa den samme Dag en Pagt med Folket, og han lagde dem Lov og Ret for i Sikem.
26 And he wrote Joshua the words these in [the] book of [the] law of God and he took a stone large and he set up it there under the oak which [was] at [the] sanctuary of Yahweh.
Og Josva skrev disse Ord i Guds Lovbog; og han tog en stor Sten og lod den oprejse der under Egen, som var ved Herrens Helligdom.
27 And he said Joshua to all the people here! the stone this it will become on us a witness for it it has heard all [the] words of Yahweh which he has spoken with us and it will become on you a witness lest you should deny! God your.
Og Josva sagde til alt Folket: Se, denne Sten skal være til Vidnesbyrd imod os, thi den har hørt alle Herrens Ord, som han har talet med os; ja, den skal være til Vidnesbyrd imod eder, at I ikke skulle fornægte eders Gud.
28 And he sent away Joshua the people everyone to own inheritance his.
Saa lod Josva Folket fare, hver til sin Arv.
29 And it was after the things these and he died Joshua [the] son of Nun [the] servant of Yahweh a son of one hundred and ten years.
Og det skete efter disse Handler, da døde Josva, Nuns Søn, Herrens Tjener, hundrede og ti Aar gammel.
30 And people buried him in [the] territory of inheritance his at Timnath Serah which [is] in [the] hill country of Ephraim from [the] north of [the] mountain of Gaash.
Og de begrove ham i hans Arvs Landemærke i Thimnath-Sera, som ligger paa Efraims Bjerg, Norden for Gaas Bjerg.
31 And it served Israel Yahweh all [the] days of Joshua and all - [the] days of the old [men] who they made long days after Joshua and who they knew all [the] work of Yahweh which he had done for Israel.
Og Israel tjente Herren, saa længe Josva levede, og saa længe de Ældste levede, som levede længe efter Josva, og som kendte al Herrens Gerning, hvilken han havde gjort mod Israel.
32 And [the] bones of Joseph which they had brought up [the] people of Israel - from Egypt they buried at Shechem in [the] portion of the field which he had bought Jacob from with [the] sons of Hamor [the] father of Shechem for a hundred piece[s] of money and they became of [the] descendants of Joseph an inheritance.
Og Josefs Ben, som Israels Børn havde ført op af Ægypten, begrove de i Sikem, paa den Agers Del, som Jakob havde købt af Hemors, Sikems Faders, Børn for hundrede Penninge; og de bleve Josefs Børn til Arv.
33 And Eleazar [the] son of Aaron he died and people buried him at Gibeah of Phinehas son his which it had been given to him in [the] hill country of Ephraim.
Og Eleasar, Arons Søn, døde, og de begrove ham i Gibea, som hørte hans Søn Pinehas til og var given ham paa Efraims Bjerg.
