Deuteronomy 1
1 In this book is written what Moses/I said to the Israeli people. He/I told them these things when they/we were in the desert, on the east side of the Jordan [River]. They/We had set up our tents near [a place named] Suph, between Paran [town on the one side of the river] and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab [towns on the other side of the river].
Desse äro de ord, som Mose talade till hela Israel på hinsidon Jordan i öknene, på den markene emot röda hafvet, emellan Paran och Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth och Disahab;
2 To walk from Sinai [Mountain] to the Kadesh-Barnea [oasis], people usually travel for only eleven days, going by way of the hilly area named Edom.
Ellofva dagsresor ifrå Horeb, den vägen om Seirs berg intill KadesBarnea.
3 Forty years after (the Israelis/we) left Egypt, in the middle of January, Moses/I told the Israeli people everything that Yahweh had commanded him/me to tell them.
Och det skedde i fyrationde årena, på första dagen i den ellofte månadenom; då talade Mose med Israels barn, allt det Herren honom till dem budit hade;
4 This was after they/we had defeated Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lived in Heshbon [city], and Og, the king of the Bashan [region] who lived in Ashtaroth and Edrei [towns].
Sedan att han hade slagit Sihon, de Amoreers Konung, som i Hesbon bodde; dertill Og, Konungen i Basan, som i Astaroth och i Edrei bodde.
5 Moses/I told them these things while the people were in the Moab region, on the east side of the Jordan [River]. He/I (explained to them/enabled them to understand) God’s laws. This is what he/I said to them:
På hinsidon Jordan, i de Moabiters lande, begynte Mose utlägga denna lagen, och sade:
6 “Yahweh our God said to us when we were at Sinai [Mountain], ‘You have stayed for a very long time at [the bottom of] this mountain.
Herren vår Gud talade med oss på Horebs berg, och sade: I hafven länge nog varit vid detta berget.
7 So now continue traveling. Go to the hilly area where the Amor people-group lives and to the nearby areas—to the Jordan [River] Valley, to the hilly region, to the western (foothills/hills at the bottom of the mountains), to the desert area to the south, to the [Mediterranean] Seacoast, to all of Canaan land, to the Lebanon [Mountains], and [northeast] to the great Euphrates River.
Vänder eder, och drager åstad, att I mån komma till de Amoreers berg, och till alla deras grannar, till mark, på berg och i dalar, söderut, och emot hafsens hamn, i Canaans lande, och till berget Libanon, allt intill den stora älfvena Phrath.
8 Note that I will give that land to you. I, Yahweh, promised to your ancestors Abraham and Isaac and Jacob that I would give it to them and to their descendants. So now go and occupy it.’”
Si, jag hafver gifvit eder landet, som för eder ligger; går derin, och intager det, såsom Herren edra fäder, Abraham, Isaac och Jacob, svorit hafver, att han dem, och deras säd efter dem, det gifva ville.
9 Moses/I also said to the people, “When [we were still at Sinai Mountain], I told your ancestors ‘It is a very big burden/responsibility for me to govern all of you. So I cannot do it by myself.
Då sade jag till eder på samma tiden: Jag förmår icke allena utstå med eder;
10 Yahweh our God has caused us Israelis to now become as numerous as the stars in the sky.
Förty Herren edar Gud hafver förökat eder, så att I på denna dag ären såsom stjernornas tal på himmelen.
11 And I hope/desire that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], will cause us to become 1,000 times as numerous as we are now and that he will bless us just like he promised to do.
Herren edra fäders Gud göre eder ännu mång tusend mer, och välsigne eder, såsom han eder sagt hafver.
12 But I certainly cannot [RHQ] (solve/deal with) all of your complaints/problems.
Huru kan jag allena sådana mödo, och tunga, och trätor, draga af eder?
13 So choose some men from your tribes who are wise and who have good sense and who are respected. Then I will appoint them to be your leaders.’
Tager utaf eder visa och förståndiga män, de som ibland edra slägter bekände äro, dem vill jag uppsätta eder för höfvitsmän.
14 Your ancestors replied, ‘What you have suggested is good for us to do.’
Då svaraden I mig, och saden: Det är en god ting, der du om talar, att du göra vill.
15 So I took the wise and respected men [that your ancestors chose] from your tribes, and I appointed them to be your leaders. I appointed some to (rule/have authority) over 1,000 people, some to have authority over 100 people, some to have authority over 50 people, and some to have authority over ten people. I also appointed other officers from throughout your tribes.
Så tog jag de yppersta af edra slägter, visa och bekända män, och satte dem öfver eder till höfvitsmän, öfver tusende, öfver hundrade, öfver femtio, öfver tio, och ämbetsmän i edra slägter;
16 I instructed/told your leaders, ‘Listen to the disputes that occur among your people. Judge each dispute, including disputes between close relatives and quarrels between your people and people from other countries who live among you.
Och böd edra domare på samma tid, och sade: Förhörer edra bröder, och dömer rätt emellan hvar man och hans broder, och främlingen.
17 You must (be impartial/not favor one person more than another); you must treat poor people and important people equally. You must not worry about what anyone will think [about how you decide matters], because you will decide matters as God [wants you to]. If any quarrel/dispute is very difficult and you are unable to decide it, bring it to me, and I will decide.’
I skolen ingen person anse i domen; utan skolen höra den litsla såsom den stora, och icke hafva försyn för någons mans person; ty domsämbetet hörer Gudi till. Om någor sak varder eder för svår, den låter komma till mig, att jag må den höra.
18 At that time I also told you other things that you should do.”
Alltså böd jag eder på den tiden allt det I göra skullen.
19 “Then, just like Yahweh our God commanded us, we left Sinai [Mountain] and went through that huge desert that was very (dangerous/difficult to travel through), on the road to the hilly area where the Amor people-group live. We arrived at Kadesh-Barnea.
Så drogo vi ut ifrå Horeb, och vandrade genom den hela öknena, den stor och grufvelig är, såsom I sett hafven, uppå den vägen till de Amoreers berg, såsom Herren vår Gud oss budit hade; och kommo intill KadesBarnea.
20 I said to your ancestors, ‘We have now come to the hilly area where the Amor people-group live. This is part of the area that Yahweh our God, the one whom our ancestors [worshiped], is giving to us.
Då sade jag till eder: I ären komne intill de Amoreers berg, det Herren vår Gud oss gifva skall.
21 Note that Yahweh our God is giving this land to us. So go and occupy it as he commanded. Do not be (at all/even a little bit) afraid.’
Si, landet före dig, hvilket Herren din Gud dig gifvit hafver! Drag ditupp, och tag det in, såsom Herren dina fäders Gud dig sagt hafver; frukta dig intet, och grufva dig intet.
22 But all of your ancestors came to me and said, ‘Before we go, we should [first] send some men there to explore the land, in order that they can return and tell us which will be the best road to go there and what kind of towns are there.’
Så kommen I till mig alle, och saden: Låt oss sända några män framför oss, som bespeja oss landet, och säga oss igen, hvilken vägen vi skole draga derin, och de städer, der vi inkomma skole.
23 I thought that it would be good to do that, so I chose twelve men, one man from each tribe.
Det nöjde mig väl; och tog utaf eder tolf män, utaf hvart slägtet en.
24 They went up into the hilly area as far as Eshcol Valley, and they explored all that area.
Då de samme gingo åstad, och drogo upp på berget, och kommo till den bäcken Escol, så skådade de det;
25 They picked some of the fruit that they found there and brought it to us. They reported that the land that Yahweh our God was giving to us is very good/fertile.”
Och togo landsens frukt med sig, och båro neder till oss, och bådade oss igen, och sade: Landet är godt, som Herren vår Gud oss gifvit hafver.
26 “But your ancestors refused to go [and conquer that land]. They rebelled against what Yahweh our God had commanded them to do, and they would not go into that land.
Men I villen icke draga ditupp, och blefven Herrans edor Guds orde ohörsamme;
27 Your ancestors [stayed] in their tents and complained saying ‘Yahweh hates us. So he has brought us here from Egypt just to allow the Amor people-group to destroy us.
Och knorraden i edor tjäll, och saden: Herren är oss hätsk, derföre hafver han fört oss utur Egypti land, på det han skall gifva oss i de Amoreers händer, till att förgöra oss.
28 (Why should we go there?/We do not want to go there.) [RHQ] The men whom we sent there have caused us to become very discouraged/afraid. They have told us that the people there are much stronger and taller than we are and that there are extremely high [HYP] walls around their towns. Also they reported that they saw [giants there that are] descendants of Anak.’
Hvad skulle vi deruppe? Våra bröder hafva förfärat vårt hjerta, och sagt: Det folket är större och högre än vi; städerna äro store och bemurade upp till himmelen; dertill hafve vi sett der Enakims barn.
29 Then I said to your ancestors, ‘Do not be afraid (at all/even a little bit) [DOU] of those people!
Och jag sade till eder: Grufver eder icke, och frukter eder intet för dem.
30 Yahweh our God will go ahead of you, and he will fight for you, just like you saw him do for you in Egypt
Herren edar Gud drager för eder, och han skall strida för eder, såsom han hafver gjort med eder i Egypten för edor ögon;
31 and in the desert. You saw how he brought you safely here, like a man would carry his son. [SIM]’
Och i öknene, der du sett hafver, huru Herren din Gud dig burit hafver, såsom en man bär sin son, i allom dem väg, der I vandrat hafven, intilldess I till detta rummet komne ären.
32 [I reminded them that] he always went ahead of them while they traveled [in the desert]. He directed them by [a pillar of] fire during the night and a [pillar of] cloud during the day. He showed them places to set up their tents. But in spite of what I said, your ancestors would not trust Yahweh our God.
Men I skötten der intet om, att I måtten trott Herranom edrom Gud;
Den för eder gick, till att visa eder de rum, der I eder lägra skullen, om nattena i eld, att han skulle visa eder vägen, den I gå skullen, och om dagen i molnskyn.
34 Yahweh heard what they said, and he became angry. He solemnly declared,
Då nu Herren hörde edart rop, vardt han vred, och svor, och sade:
35 ‘Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, will enter the land. He has obeyed me completely. So I will give to him and to his descendants [some of] the land that he explored. He is the only one of all you people who will enter that land. None of these evil people will ever see that good land which I solemnly promised to give to your ancestors.’
Ingen af detta onda slägtet skall få se det goda landet, som jag svorit hafver att gifva deras fäder;
Förutan Caleb, Jephunne son, han skall se det; honom vill jag gifva det landet, der han på stigit hafver, och hans barnom; derföre att han hafver troliga efterföljt Herran.
37 But because of [what] your ancestors [did], Yahweh was also angry with me. He said to me, ‘You also will not enter that land.
Och vardt Herren vred på mig för edra skull, och sade: Du skall icke heller komma derin.
38 Joshua, the son of Nun, who is your helper, will enter it. Encourage him, because he is the one who will enable you Israeli people to occupy that land.’
Men Josua, Nuns son, som din tjenare är, han skall komma derin; styrk honom; ty han skall utskifta Israel arfvet.
39 Then Yahweh said to all of us, ‘You said that your children would be captured by your enemies. Because they are very young, they do not yet know what is good and what is evil. But they are the ones to whom I will give that land, and they will enter it and occupy it.
Och edor barn, om hvilka I saden: De skola blifva till ett rof; och edra söner, som på denna dag hvarken veta godt eller ondt; de skola komma derin, dem skall jag gifva det, och de skola taga det in.
40 But as for you, turn around and go back into the desert, toward the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba).’
Men vänder I om, och drager åt öknena, den vägen åt röda hafvet.
41 Then your ancestors replied, ‘We have sinned; we have disobeyed Yahweh. So we will go and attack [the people who live in] that land, just like Yahweh our God commanded us to do.’ And each of their men put on his weapons, and they thought that it would be easy to invade the hilly region.
Då svaraden I, och saden till mig: Vi hafve syndat emot Herran; vi vilje ditupp och strida, såsom Herren vår Gud oss budit hafver. Som I nu redo voren, hvar i sitt harnesk, och skullen draga upp på berget,
42 But Yahweh said to me, ‘Tell them, “Do not go up there and attack those people, because I will not go with you. If you go, your enemies will defeat you.”’
Sade Herren till mig: Säg dem, att de icke draga ditupp, ej heller strida; ty jag är icke med eder; att I icke varden slagne för edra fiendar.
43 So I told that to your ancestors, but they would not heed what I said. They [again] rebelled against what Yahweh commanded them to do. Their soldiers proudly/arrogantly marched up into that hilly region.
Då jag detta sade eder, lydden I intet, och vorden Herrans ord ohörsamme, och vorden öfverdådige, och drogen upp på berget.
44 Then the men of the Amor people-group who lived in that region came out [of their towns] and attacked those soldiers. They pursued your ancestors’ soldiers like [a swarm of] bees pursues people, and they pursued them [south] from the Edom area and defeated them at Hormah [city].
Så drogo de Amoreer ut, som på berget bodde, emot eder, och jagade eder, såsom bin göra, och slogo eder i Seir allt intill Horma.
45 So your ancestors went back [to Kadesh-Barnea] and cried out to request Yahweh [to help them], but he did not heed them. He did not pay any attention to them [DOU].
Då I nu igenkommen, och greten för Herranom, ville Herren icke höra edra röst, och böjde sin öron intet till eder.
46 So we stayed there at Kadesh-Barnea for a long time.”
Så blefven I uti Kades en långan tid.
