Deuteronomy 3

1 Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan. Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.

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 The LORD said to me, “Don’t fear him; for I have delivered him, with all his people and his land, into your hand. You shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.”

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 the LORD our God also delivered into our hand Og, the king of Bashan, and all his people. We struck him until no one was left to him remaining.

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 We took all his cities at that time. There was not a city which we didn’t take from them: sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

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 these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, in addition to a great many villages without walls.

lutter Byer, der var befæstet med høje Mure, Porte og Portslåer, foruden de mange åbne Byer;

6 We utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones.

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 all the livestock, and the plunder of the cities, we took for plunder for ourselves.

men alt Kvæget, og hvad vi røvede fra Byerne, tog vi selv som Bytte.

8 We took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon.

Således erobrede vi dengang Landet fra de to Amoriterkonger hinsides Jordan fra Arnonfloden til Hermonbjerget

9 (The Sidonians call Hermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir.)

Zidonierne kalder Hermon Sirjon, men Amoriterne kalder det Senir

10 We took all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, to Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

alle Byerne på Højsletten, hele Gilead og hele Basan lige til Salka og Edrei, Byer i kong Ogs Rige i Basan.

11 (For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the Rephaim. Behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron. Isn’t it in Rabbah of the children of Ammon? Nine cubits was its length, and four cubits its width, after the cubit of a man.)

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 This land we took in possession at that time: from Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, and half the hill country of Gilead with its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites;

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 and the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh—all the region of Argob, even all Bashan. (The same is called the land of Rephaim.

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 the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, to the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and called them, even Bashan, after his own name, Havvoth Jair, to this day.)

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 I gave Gilead to Machir.

Og Makir gav jeg Gilead;

16 To the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even to the valley of the Arnon, the middle of the valley, and its border, even to the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;

og Rubeniterne og Gaditerne gav jeg Landet fra Gilead til Arnonfloden med Dalens Midtlinie som Grænse og til Jabbokfloden, Ammoniternes Grænse,

17 the Arabah also, and the Jordan and its border, from Chinnereth even to the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah eastward.

og Arabalavningen med Jordan som Grænse fra Kinneret til Arabaeller Salthavet ved Foden af Pisgas Skrænter mod Øst.

18 I commanded you at that time, saying, “The LORD your God has given you this land to possess it. All of you men of valour shall pass over armed before your brothers, the children of Israel.

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 your little ones, and your livestock, (I know that you have much livestock), shall live in your cities which I have given you,

kun eders Kvinder, Børn og Kvæg (jeg ved, at I har meget Kvæg) skal blive tilbage i de Byer, jeg giver eder

20 until the LORD gives rest to your brothers, as to you, and they also possess the land which the LORD your God gives them beyond the Jordan. Then you shall each return to his own possession, which I have given 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 I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, “Your eyes have seen all that the LORD your God has done to these two kings. So shall the LORD do to all the kingdoms where you go over.

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 You shall not fear them; for the LORD your God himself fights for you.”

Du skal ikke frygte for dem; thi HERREN eders Gud vil selv kæmpe for eder!"

23 I begged GOD at that time, saying,

Og dengang bad jeg således til HERREN:

24 “Lord GOD, you have begun to show your servant your greatness, and your strong hand. For what god is there in heaven or in earth that can do works like yours, and mighty acts like yours?

"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 Please let me go over and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, that fine mountain, and Lebanon.”

Lad mig da få Lov at drage over og se det herlige Land hinsides Jordan, det herlige Bjergland og Libanon!"

26 But the LORD was angry with me because of you, and didn’t listen to me. The LORD said to me, “That is enough! Speak no more to me of this matter.

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 Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up your eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and see with your eyes; for you shall not go over this Jordan.

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 commission Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which you shall see.”

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 stayed in the valley near Beth Peor.

Så blev vi i Dalen lige over for Bet Peor.
