Joshua 11
1 When Jabin, king of Hazor, heard this, he sent a message to Jobab, king of Madon, to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Akshaph.
Da Kong Jabin af Hazor hørte herom sendte han Bud til Kong Jobab af Madon og Kongerne af Sjimron og Aksjaf.
2 He also sent the message to the kings who were in the northern hill country, in the Jordan River valley south of Kinnereth, in the lowlands, and in Naphoth Dor to the west.
og til Kongerne nordpå i Bjergene, i Arabalavningen sønden for Kinnerot, i Lavlandet og på Højdedraget vestpå ved Dor,
3 He also sent a message to the Canaanites to the east and west, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites in the hill country, and the Hivites by Mount Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
til Kana'anæerne i Øst og Vest, Amoriterne, Hivviterne, Perizziterne og Jebusiterne i Bjergene og Hetiterne ved Foden af Hermon i Mizpas Land;
4 All their armies came out with them, a great number of soldiers, in number like the sand on the seashore. They had a great number of horses and chariots.
og de drog ud med alle deres Hære, Krigsfolk talrige som Sandet ved Havets Bred, og med en stor Mængde Heste og Stridsvogne.
5 All these kings met at the appointed time, and they camped at the waters of Merom to wage war with Israel.
Alle disse Konger slog sig sammen og kom og lejrede sig i Forening ved Meroms Vand for at angribe Israel.
6 Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid in their presence, because tomorrow at this time I am giving them all to Israel as dead men. You will hamstring their horses, and you will burn their chariots.”
Men HERREN sagde til Josua: "Frygt ikke for dem! Thi i Morgen ved denne Tid vil jeg lade dem ligge faldne foran Israel; deres Heste skal du lamme, og deres Vogne skal du brænde!"
7 Joshua and all the men of war came. They arrived suddenly at the waters of Merom, and attacked the enemy.
Da kom Josua med hele Hæren uventet over dem ved Meroms Vand og kastede sig over dem,
8 Yahweh gave the enemy into the hand of Israel, and they struck them and pursued them to Sidon, Misrephoth Maim, and to the Valley of Mizpah to the east. They struck them until not even one survivor of them was left.
og HERREN gav dem i Israels Hånd, så de slog dem og forfulgte dem til den store Stad Zidon, til, Misrefot Majim og Mizpes Lavning i Øst, og huggede dem ned, så ikke en eneste af dem blev tilbage.
9 Joshua did to them just as Yahweh told him. He hamstrung the horses and burned the chariots.
Josua gjorde derpå med dem, som HERREN havde sagt ham; deres Heste lammede han, og deres Vogne brændte han.
10 Joshua turned back at that time and captured Hazor. He struck its king with the sword. (Hazor had been head of all these kingdoms.)
Ved den Tid vendte Josua om og indtog Hazor, og Kongen huggede han ned med Sværdet; Hazor var nemlig fordum alle disse Kongerigers Hovedstad;
11 They struck with the sword every living creature that was there, and he set them apart to be destroyed, so there was not any living creature left alive. Then he burned Hazor.
og de huggede hver levende Sjæl i den ned med Sværdet og lagde Band på dem, så ikke en levende Sjæl blev tilbage; og Hazor stak han i Brand.
12 Joshua captured all the cities of these kings. He also captured all their kings and struck them with the edge of the sword. He completely destroyed them with the edge of the sword, just as Moses the servant of Yahweh had commanded.
Alle hine Kongsbyer med deres Konger undertvang Josua, og han huggede dem ned med Sværdet og lagde Band på dem, som HERRENs Tjener Moses havde påbudt.
13 Israel did not burn any of the cities built on mounds, except Hazor. It alone Joshua burned.
Men ingen af de Byer, som lå på deres Høje, stak Israel i Brand, alene med Undtagelse af Hazor; den stak Josua i Brand.
14 The army of Israel took all the plunder from these cities along with the livestock for themselves. They killed every human being with the edge of the sword until all were dead. They left alive no creature that breathed.
Kvæget og alt det andet, der røvedes fra disse Byer, beholdt Israeliterne som Bytte; men alle Menneskene huggede de ned med Sværdet til sidste Mand uden at lade en eneste levende Sjæl blive tilbage.
15 Just as Yahweh had commanded his servant Moses, in the same way, Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did it. He left nothing undone of all that Yahweh commanded Moses to do.
Hvad HERREN havde pålagt sin Tjener Moses, havde Moses pålagt Josua, og det gjorde Josua; han undlod intet som helst af, hvad HERREN havde pålagt Moses.
16 Joshua took all that land, the hill country, all the Negev, all the land of Goshen, the foothills, the Jordan River valley, the hill country of Israel, and the lowlands.
Således indtog Josua hele dette Land, Bjerglandet, hele Sydlandet, hele Landskabet Gosjen, Lavlandet, Arabalavningen, Israels Bjergland og Lavland,
17 From Mount Halak near Edom, and going north as far as Baal Gad in the valley near Lebanon below Mount Hermon, he captured all their kings and killed them.
fra det nøgne Bjergdrag, som højner sig hen imod Seir, indtil Ba'al Gad i Libanons Dal ved Hermonbjergets Fod; og alle deres Konger tog han til Fange, huggede dem ned og dræbte dem.
18 Joshua waged war for a long time with all the kings.
I lang Tid førte Josua Krig med disse Konger
19 Not one city made peace with the army of Israel except the Hivites who lived in Gibeon. Israel captured all the rest of the cities in battle.
Der var ingen By, som sluttede Overenskomst med Israeliterne, undtagen Hivviterne, som boede i Gibeon. Alt tog de i Kamp;
20 For it was Yahweh who hardened their hearts so they would wage war against Israel, so that he might completely destroy them without mercy, just as he had instructed Moses.
thi HERREN voldte, at de forhærdede deres Hjerter, så de drog i Kamp mod Israel, for at de skulde lægge Band på dem uden Skånsel og udrydde dem, som HERREN havde pålagt Moses.
21 Then Joshua came at that time and he destroyed the Anakim. He did this in the hill country, at Hebron, Debir, Anab, and in all the hill country of Judah, and in all the hill country of Israel. Joshua completely destroyed them and their cities.
Ved den Tid drog Josua hen og udryddede Anakiterne af Bjerglandet, af Hebron, Debir og Anab, og af hele Judas og hele Israels Bjergland; på dem og deres Byer lagde Josua Band.
22 None of the Anakim were left in the land of Israel except at Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod.
Der blev ingen Anakiter tilbage i Israeliternes Land, kun i Gaza, Gat og Asdod blev der Levninger tilbage.
23 So Joshua captured the whole land, just as Yahweh said to Moses. Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel, assigned to each of their tribes. Then the land had rest from the wars.
Således indtog Josua hele Landet, ganske som HERREN havde sagt til Moses, og Josua gav Israel det i Eje efter deres Afdelinger, Stamme for Stamme. Og Landet fik Ro efter Krigen.
