Numbers 21
1 And he heard the Canaanite [the] king of Arad [who] dwelt the Negev that it had come Israel [the] way of the Atharim and he engaged in battle against Israel and he took captive - some of it captive[s].
Men da Kana'anæeren, Kongen af Arad, der boede i Sydlandet, hørte, at Israel rykkede frem ad Atarimvejen, angreb han Israel og tog nogle af dem til Fange.
2 And it vowed Israel a vow to Yahweh and it said certainly [if] you will give the people this in hand my and I will totally destroy cities their.
Da aflagde Israel et Løfte til HERREN og sagde: »Hvis du giver dette Folk i min Haand, vil jeg lægge Band paa deres Byer!«
3 And he listened Yahweh to [the] voice of Israel and he delivered up the Canaanite[s] and it totally destroyed them and cities their and someone called [the] name of the place Hormah.
Og HERREN hørte Israels Røst og gav Kana'anæerne i deres Haand, hvorefter de lagde Band paa dem og deres Byer. Derfor gav man Stedet Navnet Horma.
4 And they set out from Hor the mountain [the] direction of [the] sea of reed[s] to go around [the] land of Edom and it became short [the] self of the people on the way.
Saa brød de op fra Bjerget Hor i Retning af det røde Hav for at komme uden om Edoms Land. Undervejs blev Folket utaalmodigt
5 And it spoke the people against God and against Moses why? have you brought up us from Egypt to die in the wilderness for there not [is] food and there not [is] water and self our it loathes the food worthless.
og talte mod Gud og Moses og sagde: »Hvorfor førte I os ud af Ægypten, naar vi skal dø i Ørkenen? Her er jo hverken Brød eller Vand, og vi er lede ved denne usle Føde.«
6 And he sent Yahweh among the people the snakes the saraphs and they bit the people and it died a people numerous from Israel.
Da sendte HERREN Giftslanger blandt Folket, og de bed Folket saa en Mængde af Israel døde.
7 And it came the people to Moses and they said we have sinned for we have spoken against Yahweh and against you pray to Yahweh so may he remove from on us the snake[s] and he prayed Moses for the people.
Saa kom Folket til Moses og sagde: »Vi har syndet ved at tale imod HERREN og dig; gaa i Forbøn hos HERREN, at han tager Slangerne fra os!« Og Moses gik i Forbøn for Folket.
8 And he said Yahweh to Moses make for yourself a saraph and put it on a standard and it will be every [one who] is bitten and he will see it and he will live.
Da sagde HERREN til Moses: »Lav dig en Slange og sæt den paa en Stang, saa skal enhver slangebidt, der ser hen paa den, leve!«
9 And he made Moses a snake of bronze and he put it on the standard and it was if it had bitten the snake anyone and he looked to [the] snake of bronze and he lived.
Da lavede Moses en Kobberslange og satte den paa en Stang; og enhver, der saa hen paa Kobberslangen, naar en Slange havde bidt ham, beholdt Livet.
10 And they set out [the] people of Israel and they encamped in Oboth.
Saa brød Israeliterne op og slog Lejr i Obot;
11 And they set out from Oboth and they encamped at Iye Abarim in the wilderness which [is] on [the] face of Moab from [the] rising of the sun.
og de brød op fra Obot og slog Lejr i Ijje-Ha'abarim i Ørkenen østen for Moab.

Derfra brød de op og slog Lejr i Ørkenen hinsides Arnon, som udspringer paa Amoriternes Omraade, thi Arnon var Moabs Grænse mod Amoriterne.
14 There-fore it is said in [the] book of [the] wars of Yahweh Waheb in Suphah and the wadis Arnon.
Derfor hedder det i Bogen om HERRENS Krige: .... Vaheb i Sufa og Dalene, Arnon og Dalenes Skrænt,
15 And [the] slope of the wadis which it extends to [the] dwelling of Ar and it leans to [the] border of Moab.
som strækker sig til Ars Sæde og læner sig til Moabs Grænse.
16 And from there Beer towards that [is] the well which he said Yahweh to Moses gather the people so let me give to them water.
Derfra brød de op til Be'er; det er det Be'er, HERREN havde for Øje, da han sagde til Moses: »Kald Folket sammen, saa vil jeg give dem Vand!«
17 Then it sang Israel the song this spring up O well sing of it.
Da sang Israeliterne denne Sang: Brønd, væld frem! Syng til dens Pris!
18 A well [which] they dug it [the] leaders [which] they dug it [the] noble [people] of the people with a ruler's staff with staffs their and from [the] wilderness Mattanah.
Brønd, som Høvdinger grov, som Folkets ædle bored med Herskerspir og Stave! Fra Ørkenen brød de op til Mattana;
19 And from Mattanah Nahaliel and from Nahaliel Bamoth.
fra Mattana til Nahaliel; fra Nahaliel til Bamot;
20 And from Bamoth the valley which [is] in [the] region of Moab [the] top of Pisgah and it looked down over [the] face of the desolate place.
fra Bamot til Dalen paa Moabs Højslette, til Pisgas Top, som rager op over Ørkenen.
21 And it sent Israel messengers to Sihon [the] king of the Amorite[s] saying.
Israel sendte nu Sendebud til Amoriterkongen Sihon og lod sige:
22 Let me pass in land your not we will turn aside in a field and in a vineyard not we will drink water of a well on [the] way of the king we will go until that we will pass through territory your.
»Lad mig faa Lov at drage igennem dit Land! Vi vil ikke dreje ind paa Marker eller i Vinhaver, vi vil ikke drikke Vand af Brøndene, vi vil følge Kongevejen, indtil vi er naaet igennem dit Land!«
23 And not he permitted Sihon Israel to pass in territory his and he gathered Sihon all people his and he went out to meet Israel the wilderness towards and he came Jahaz towards and he engaged in battle against Israel.
Men Sihon tillod ikke Israel at drage igennem sit Land; derimod samlede han alt sit Krigsfolk og rykkede ud i Ørkenen imod Israel, og da han naaede Jaza, angreb han Israel.
24 And it struck him Israel to [the] mouth of [the] sword and it took possession of land his from Arnon to Jabbok to [the] descendants of Ammon for [was] strong [the] border of [the] descendants of Ammon.
Men Israel slog ham med Sværdet og underlagde sig hans Land fra Arnon til Jabbok, til Ammoniternes Land; thi Ja'zer ligger ved Ammoniternes Grænse;
25 And it took Israel all the cities these and it dwelt Israel in all [the] cities of the Amorite[s] in Heshbon and in all daughters its.
og Israel indtog alle disse Byer, og Israel bosatte sig i alle Amoriternes Byer, i Hesjbon og alle tilhørende Smaabyer.
26 For Heshbon [was] [the] city of Sihon [the] king of the Amorite[s] it and he he had waged war against [the] king of Moab former and he had taken all land his from hand his to Arnon.
Thi Hesjbon var Amoriterkongen Sihons By; han havde angrebet Moabs forrige Konge og frataget ham hele hans Land indtil Arnon.
27 There-fore they say those [who] speak proverbs come Heshbon let it be rebuilt and it may be established [the] city of Sihon.
Derfor synger Skjaldene: Kom hid til Hesjbon, lad den blive bygget og grundfæstet, Sihons By!
28 For fire it went out from Heshbon flame from [the] town of Sihon it consumed Ar of Moab [the] citizens of [the] high places of Arnon.
Thi Ild for ud fra Hesjbon, Ildslue fra Sihons Stad, den fortærede Moabs Byer, opaad Arnons Højder.
29 Woe! to you O Moab you have perished O people of Chemosh he has made sons his fugitives and daughters his in captivity of [the] king of [the] Amorite[s] Sihon.
Ve dig, Moab! Det er ude med dig, Kemosj's Folk! Han gjorde sine Sønner til Flygtninge og sine Døtre til Krigsfanger for Sihon, Amoriternes Konge.
30 And we shot at them it has perished Heshbon to Dibon and we have devastated to Nophah which [is] to Medeba.
Og vi skød dem ned, Hesjbon er tabt indtil Dibon; vi lagde dem øde til Nofa, som ligger ved Medeba.
31 And it dwelt Israel in [the] land of the Amorite[s].
Saa bosatte Israel sig i Amoriternes Land.
32 And he sent Moses to spy out Jazer and they captured daughters its (and it dispossessed *Q(K)*) the Amorite[s] who [was] there.
Derpaa sendte Moses Spejdere til Ja'zer; og de erobrede det tillige med tilhørende Smaabyer, og han drev de der boende Amoriter bort.
33 And they turned and they went up [the] direction of Bashan and he went out Og [the] king of Bashan to meet them he and all people his for battle Edrei.
Derpaa vendte de om og drog ad Basan til. Da rykkede Og, Kongen af Basan, ud imod dem med alle sine Krigere og angreb dem ved Edre'i.
34 And he said Yahweh to Moses may not you fear him for in hand your I have given him and all people his and land his and you will do to him just as you did to Sihon [the] king of the Amorite[s] who [was] dwelling in Heshbon.
Men HERREN sagde til Moses: »Frygt ikke for ham! Thi jeg giver ham og alle hans Krigere og hans Land i din Haand, saa at du kan handle med ham, som du handlede med Amoriterkongen Sihon, der boede i Hesjbon.«
35 And they struck down him and sons his and all people his until not he had left to him a survivor and they took possession of land his.
Da slog de ham og hans Sønner og alle hans Krigere, saa at ikke en eneste af dem undslap, og derpaa underlagde de sig hans Land.
