< Judges 3 >
1 And these [are] the nations which he left Yahweh to put to [the] test by them Israel all [those] who not they had known all [the] wars of Canaan.
Dette var de Folkeslag, HERREN lod blive tilbage for ved dem at sætte Israel Prøve, alle de Israelitter, som ikke havde kendt til Kampene om Kana'an,
2 Only so as to know [the] generations of [the] people of Israel to teach them war only which before not they had known them.
alene for Israelitternes Slægters Skyld, for at øve dem i Krig, alene for deres Skyld, som ikke havde kendt noget til de tidligere Krige:
3 [the] five - [the] rulers of [the] Philistines And all the Canaanite[s] and the Sidonian[s] and the Hivite[s] [who] dwelt of [the] mount of Lebanon from [the] mountain of Baal Hermon to Lebo Hamath.
De fem Filisterfyrster, alle Kana'anæerne, Zidonierne og Hetiterne, som boede i Libanons Bjerge fra Ba'al-Hermon til hen imod Hamat.
4 And they were to put to [the] test by them Israel to know ¿ will they obey [the] commandments of Yahweh which he had commanded ancestors their by [the] hand of Moses.
De blev tilbage, for at Israel ved dem kunde blive sat på Prøve, så det kunde komme for Dagen, om de vilde lyde de Bud, HERREN havde givet deres Fædre ved Moses.
5 And [the] people of Israel they dwelt in [the] midst of the Canaanite[s] the Hittite[s] and the Amorite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s].
Og Israelitterne boede blandt Kana'anæerne, Hetiterne, Amoriterne, Perizziterne, Hivviterne og Jebusiterne.
6 And they took daughters their for themselves to wives and daughters their they gave to sons their and they served gods their.
De indgik Ægteskab med deres Døtre og gav deres Sønner deres Døtre til Ægte, og de dyrkede deres Guder.
7 And they did [the] people of Israel the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh and they forgot Yahweh God their and they served the Baals and the Asherah poles.
Israelitterne gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne; de glemte HERREN deres Gud og dyrkede Ba'alerne og Asjererne.
8 And it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on Israel and he sold them in [the] hand of Cushan-Rishathaim [the] king of Aram Naharaim and they served [the] people of Israel Cushan-Rishathaim eight years.
Da blussede HERRENs Vrede op imod Israel, og han gav dem til Pris for Kong Kusjan-Risjatajim af Aram Naharajim, og Israelitterne stod under Kusjan Risjatajim i otte År.
9 And they cried out [the] people of Israel to Yahweh and he raised up Yahweh a deliverer for [the] people of Israel and he delivered them Othniel [the] son of Kenaz [the] brother of Caleb young more than him.
Da råbte Israelitterne til HERREN, og HERREN lod en Befrier fremstå iblandt Israelitterne, og han frelste dem, nemlig Kenizziten Otniel, Kalebs yngre Broder.
10 And it was on him [the] spirit of Yahweh and he judged Israel and he went out to war and he gave Yahweh in hand his Cushan-Rishathaim [the] king of Aram and it prevailed hand his over Cushan-Rishathaim.
HERRENs Ånd kom over ham, og han blev Dommer i Israel; han drog ud til Kamp, og HERREN gav Kong Kusjan Risjatajim af Aram i hans Hånd, så han fik Overtaget over ham.
11 And it was at peace the land forty year[s] and he died Othniel [the] son of Kenaz.
Og Landet havde Ro i fyrretyve År, og Kenizziten Otniel døde.
12 And they repeated [the] people of Israel to do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh and he strengthened Yahweh Eglon [the] king of Moab over Israel on for they did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh.
Men Israelitterne blev ved at gøre, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne. Da gav HERREN Kong Eglon af Moab Magt over Israel, fordi de gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne.
13 And he gathered to himself [the] people of Ammon and Amalek and he went and he attacked Israel and they took possession of [the] city of the palm trees.
Han fik Ammoniterne og Amalekiterne med sig, drog ud og slog Israel og tog Palmestaden.
14 And they served [the] people of Israel Eglon [the] king of Moab eight-teen year[s].
Og Israelitterne stod under Kong Eglon af Moab i atten År.
15 And they cried out [the] people of Israel to Yahweh and he raised up Yahweh for them a deliverer Ehud [the] son of Gera [the] Ben-jaminite a man impeded [the] hand of right his and they sent [the] people of Israel by hand his tribute to Eglon [the] king of Moab.
Men da Israelitterne råbte til HERREN, lod HERREN en Befrier fremstå iblandt dem, Benjaminiten Ehud, Geras Søn, som var kejthåndet. Da Israelitterne engang sendte Ehud til Kong Eglon af Moab med Skat,
16 And he made for himself Ehud a sword and [belonged] to it two lips [was] a cubit length its and he girded it from under to garments his on [the] thigh of right his.
lavede han sig et tveægget Sværd, en Gomed langt, og bandt det til sin højre Hofte under Kappen.
17 And he brought near the tribute to Eglon [the] king of Moab and Eglon [was] a man fat very.
Derpå afleverede han Skatten til Kong Eglon af Moab Eglon var en meget fed Mand
18 And it was just when he had finished to bring near the tribute and he sent away the people [who] bore the tribute.
og da han var færdig dermed, ledsagede han Folkene, der havde båret Skatten, på Vej,
19 And he he returned from the idols which [were] with Gilgal and he said a word of secrecy [belongs] to me to you O king and he said hush! and they went out from with him all those [who] stood with him.
men selv vendte han om ved Pesilim ved Gilgal og sagde: "Konge, jeg har noget at tale med dig om i Hemmelighed!" Men han bød ham tie, til alle de, der stod om ham, var gået ud.
20 And Ehud - he came to him and he [was] sitting in [the] roof chamber of the coolness which [belonged] to him to only him and he said Ehud a word of God [belongs] to me to you and he rose from on the throne.
Da Ehud kom ind til ham, sad han i sin svale Stue på Taget, hvor han var alene; og Ehud sagde: "Jeg har et Gudsord til dig!" Da rejste han sig fra sit Sæde,
21 And he stretched out Ehud [the] hand of left his and he took the sword from on [the] thigh of right his and he thrust it in belly his.
men idet han stod op, rakte Ehud sin venstre Hånd ud og greb Sværdet ved sin højre Side og stak det i Underlivet på ham,
22 And it went also the hilt after the blade and it closed up the fat behind the blade that not he drew out the sword from belly his and he went out the hole towards.
så endog Grebet gik i med Klingen; og Fedtet sluttede om Klingen, thi han drog ikke Sværdet ud af Livet på ham; og Skarnet gik fra ham.
23 And he went out Ehud the porch towards and he closed [the] doors of the roof chamber behind him and he locked [them].
Så gik Ehud bort gennem Søjlegangen, lukkede Døren til Stuen for ham og låsede den.
24 And he he went forth and servants his they came and they saw and there! [the] doors of the roof chamber [were] locked and they said surely [is] covering he feet his in [the] chamber of the coolness.
Efter at han var gået bort, kom Kongens Folk, og da de fandt Døren til Stuen låset, tænkte de, at han tildækkede sine Fødder i det svale Hammer;
25 And they writhed until were ashamed and there! not he [was] opening [the] doors of the roof chamber and they took the key and they opened [them] and there! master their [was] lying [the] ground towards dead.
men da de havde biet, indtil de skammede sig, uden at han åbnede Døren til Stuen, hentede de Nøglen og lukkede op; og se, der lå deres Herre død på Gulvet.
26 And Ehud he escaped until delayed they and he he passed by the idols and he escaped Seirah towards.
Men Ehud slap bort, medens de blev opholdt, og han satte over ved Pesilim og undslap til Seira.
27 And it was when came he and he gave a blast on the ram's horn in [the] hill country of Ephraim and they went down with him [the] people of Israel from the hill country and he [was] before them.
Så snart han derpå nåede Efraims Bjerge, lod han støde i Hornet; og Israelitterne fulgte ham ned fra Bjergene, idet han gik i Spidsen for dem.
28 And he said to them pursue after me for he has given Yahweh enemies your Moab in hand your and they went down after him and they captured [the] fords of the Jordan to Moab and not they permitted anyone to pass over.
Og han sagde til dem: "Følg mig ned, thi HERREN har givet eders Fjender Moabiterne i eders Hånd!" Og de fulgte ham ned og fratog Moabiterne Vadestederne over Jordan og lod ikke en eneste komme over.
29 And they struck down Moab at the time that about ten thousand man every stout [person] and every man of strength and not he escaped anyone.
Ved den Lejlighed nedhuggede de omtrent 10000 Moabiter, lutter stærke og dygtige Mænd, ikke een undslap.
30 And it was subdued Moab on the day that under [the] hand of Israel and it was at peace the land eighty year[s].
Således blev Moab den Gang underkuet af Israel; og Landet havde Ro i firsindstyve År.
31 And after him he was Shamgar [the] son of Anath and he struck down [the] Philistines six hundred man with [the] goad of cattle and he delivered also he Israel.
