< Deuteronomy 3 >
1 “Then we turned [north] and went toward the Bashan region. Og, the king [of that area], and all his soldiers marched [south] to fight against us at Edrei [town].
Derpå brød vi op og drog mod Basan. Og Kong Og af Basan rykkede med alle sine Krigere ud imod os til Kamp ved Edrei.
2 Yahweh said to me, ‘Do not be afraid of him, because I will enable your [army] to defeat [MTY] him and all his army and to capture all their land. Do to him what you did to Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who ruled in Heshbon [city].’
Da sagde HERREN til mig: "Frygt ikke for ham, thi jeg giver ham i din Hånd tillige med hele hans Folk og Land, og du skal gøre ved ham, som du gjorde ved Sihon, Amoriterkongen i Hesjbon."
3 “So Yahweh enabled us to defeat [IDM] King Og and all his army. We killed them all; we did not allow any of them to remain alive.
Så gav HERREN vor Gud også kong Og af Basan og alle hans Krigere i vor Hånd, og vi slog ham, så ikke en eneste undslap.
4 There were 60 cities in that region near Argob, in King Og’s kingdom of Bashan. But we captured all of them
Vi indtog dengang alle hans Byer; der var ikke een By, vi ikke fratog dem, i alt tresindstyve Byer, hele Landskabet Argob, Ogs Kongerige i Basan,
5 All those cities had high walls [around them] with gates and bars. We also captured many villages that did not have walls [around them].
lutter Byer, der var befæstet med høje Mure, Porte og Portslåer, foruden de mange åbne Byer;
6 We completely destroyed everything, just as we had done [in the area that] King Sihon ruled. We killed all the men, women, and children.
og vi lagde Band på dem, ligesom vi havde gjort ved Kong Sihon i Hesjbon, i enhver By lagde vi Band på Mænd, Kvinder og Børn;
7 But from those cities we took for ourselves all the livestock and other valuable things.
men alt Kvæget, og hvad vi røvede fra Byerne, tog vi selv som Bytte.
8 “So at that time we took from those two kings of the Amor people-group all the land east of the Jordan [River], from the Arnon [River] gorge [in the south] to Hermon Mountain [in the north].”
Således erobrede vi dengang Landet fra de to Amoriterkonger hinsides Jordan fra Arnonfloden til Hermonbjerget
9 (That mountain is called Sirion by the people of Sidon [city] and is called Senir by the Amor people-group.)
Zidonierne kalder Hermon Sirjon, men Amoriterne kalder det Senir
10 “We captured all the towns on the (plateau/high level land), and all the Gilead [region], and all the Bashan [region] as far east as Edrei and Salecah towns, which also belonged to Og’s kingdom.”
alle Byerne på Højsletten, hele Gilead og hele Basan lige til Salka og Edrei, Byer i kong Ogs Rige i Basan.
11 (Og was the last king who was a descendant of the Repha giants. His bed was made of iron. It was almost (14 feet/4 meters) long and (6 feet/2 meters) wide. It is still [RHQ] in Rabbah [city] in the Ammon area.)
Thi Kong Og af Basan var den eneste, der endnu var tilbage af Refaiterne; hans Kiste, en Jernkiste, står jo endnu i Rabba i Ammon, ni Alen lang og fire Alen bred efter vanligt Mål.
12 “From the land that we captured at that time, I allotted to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the land [north] of Aroer [town] near the Arnon [River], and some of the hilly area of the Gilead [region], along with the nearby towns.
Således tog vi dengang dette Land i Besiddelse. Landet fra Aroer, der ligger ved Arnonfloden, og Halvdelen af Gileads Bjerge med Byerne der gav jeg Rubeniterne og Gaditerne;
13 The other part of the Gilead [region] and all of the Bashan [region], which was the Argob [region] that King Og had ruled, I allotted to half of the tribe of Manasseh.” (The entire Bashan [region] is called the land of the Repha giants.)
men Resten af Gilead og hele Basan, Ogs Rige, gav jeg til Manasses halve Stamme, hele Landskabet Argob. (Det er hele dette Basan, man kalder Refaiterland.)
14 “Jair, from the tribe of Manasseh, conquered all the Bashan area as far [north] as the border of the Geshur and Maacah territories. He gave his own name to the villages there, and they are still called the villages of Jair.
Manasses Søn Jair erobrede hele Landskabet Argob indtil Gesjuriternes og Ma'akatiternes Egne og kaldte dem Ja'irs Teltbyer efter sig selv, som de hedder endnu den Dag i Dag.
15 The [northern part of the] Gilead [region] I allotted to the Machir [clan, who are descendants of the tribe of Manasseh].
Og Makir gav jeg Gilead;
16 I allotted to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the southern part of the Gilead [region, extending south] to the Arnon [River]. The middle of the river is the [southern] boundary. The [northern] boundary is the Jabbok River, which is part of the border of the Ammon area.
og Rubeniterne og Gaditerne gav jeg Landet fra Gilead til Arnonfloden med Dalens Midtlinie som Grænse og til Jabbokfloden, Ammoniternes Grænse,
17 [To the west their territory extended] to the Jordan [River] Valley, from Galilee Lake [in the north] to the Dead Sea [in the south] and to the slopes of Pisgah [Mountain] to the east.
og Arabalavningen med Jordan som Grænse fra Kinneret til Arabaeller Salthavet ved Foden af Pisgas Skrænter mod Øst.
18 At that time, I told you three tribes, ‘Yahweh our God is giving you this land [east of the Jordan River], for you to occupy/capture. So now, give your soldiers weapons, and send them [across the Jordan River] ahead of the men from the other Israeli tribes [to help them to conquer/capture the land that has been allotted to them].
Dengang gav jeg eder følgende Påbud: "HERREN eders Gud har givet eder dette Land i Eje; men I skal, så mange krigsdygtige Mænd I er, drage væbnede i Spidsen for eders Brødre Israelitterne
19 But your wives and children and your very numerous cattle must stay in the towns that I have allotted to you.
kun eders Kvinder, Børn og Kvæg (jeg ved, at I har meget Kvæg) skal blive tilbage i de Byer, jeg giver eder
20 [Your men must help your fellow Israelis] until Yahweh enables them to live there peacefully after they capture all the land that Yahweh our God is giving to them on the west side of the Jordan [River], just like he did for you [here on the east side of the river]. After that, you all may return to this land that I have allotted to you.’
indtil HERREN bringer eders Brødre til Hvile ligesom eder, og de også får taget det Land i Besiddelse, som HERREN eders Gud vil give dem hinsides Jordan; så kan enhver af eder vende tilbage til den Ejendom, jeg har givet eder!"
21 And I told Joshua, ‘You [SYN] have seen everything that Yahweh our God did to those two kings, [Sihon and Og]. He will do the same thing to the people [who are now] in the land that you will be entering.
Og Josua gav jeg dengang følgende Påbud: "Du har med egne Øjne set alt, hvad HERREN eders Gud har gjort ved disse to Konger; således vil HERREN også gøre ved alle de Riger, du drager over til.
22 Do not be afraid of those people, because Yahweh our God is the one who will fight for you all.’”
Du skal ikke frygte for dem; thi HERREN eders Gud vil selv kæmpe for eder!"
23 “At that time, I earnestly prayed, saying
Og dengang bad jeg således til HERREN:
24 ‘Yahweh our Lord, you have merely begun to show me that you are very great and to show me the powerful things that you can do [MTY]. There is certainly no [RHQ] god in heaven or on earth who can do the powerful things/deeds that you [have done].
"Herre, HERRE! Du har begyndt at vise din Tjener din Storhed og din stærke Hånd! Thi hvem er den Gud i Himmelen og på Jorden, der kan gøre sådanne Gerninger og Storværker som du?
25 So please allow me to cross the Jordan [River] and to see the good/fertile land on the west side, the beautiful hilly area and [the mountains in] Lebanon.’
Lad mig da få Lov at drage over og se det herlige Land hinsides Jordan, det herlige Bjergland og Libanon!"
26 But Yahweh was angry with me because of [what] your ancestors [had made me do], so he would not pay attention to me. Instead, he said, ‘That is enough [talk from you]! Do not talk to me about that again!
Men HERREN var vred på mig for eders Skyld og hørte mig ikke, men han sagde til mig: "Lad det være nok, tal ikke mere til mig om den Sag;
27 Climb up to the top of Pisgah [Mountain] and look toward the west and to the east, toward the north and to the south. Look at [MTY] it all carefully, because you will not cross the Jordan [River to see the land from there].
men stig op på Pisgas Tinde, løft dit Blik mod Vest og Nord, mod Syd og Øst, og tag det i Øjesyn. Thi du kommer ikke til at drage over Jordan dernede;
28 But tell Joshua what he must do and encourage him to be strong, because he is the one who will lead the people [across the river in order that they can] occupy/capture the land that you will see [from the top of the mountain].’
men sig Josua, hvad han skal, og sæt Mod i ham og styrk ham, thi det bliver ham, der skal drage over i Spidsen for dette Folk, og ham, der skal give dem det Land, du ser, i Eje."
29 So we remained in the [Jordan River] Valley close to Beth-Peor [town].”
Så blev vi i Dalen lige over for Bet Peor.
