Judges 2
1 And a messenger of Jehovah goeth up from Gilgal unto Bochim,
Og Herrens Engel kom op fra Gilgal til Bokim og sagde: Jeg har ført eder op af Ægypten og bragt eder i det Land, som jeg tilsvor eders Fædre, og jeg sagde: Jeg vil ikke rygge min Pagt med eder i Evighed.
2 and saith, 'I cause you to come up out of Egypt, and bring you in unto the land which I have sworn to your fathers, and say, I do not break My covenant with you to the age; and ye — ye make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land — their altars ye break down; and ye have not hearkened to My voice — what [is] this ye have done?
Og I skulle ikke gøre Pagt med dette Lands Indbyggere, I skulle nedbryde deres Altre; men I hørte ikke min Røst; hvad er det, I have gjort?
3 And I also have said, I do not cast them out from your presence, and they have been to you for adversaries, and their gods are to you for a snare.'
Da sagde jeg ogsaa: Jeg vil ikke uddrive dem fra eders Ansigt; men de skulle være eder paa Siderne, og deres Guder skulle være eder til en Snare.
4 And it cometh to pass, when the messenger of Jehovah speaketh these words unto all the sons of Israel, that the people lift up their voice and weep,
Og det skete, der Herrens Engel havde talet disse Ord til alle Israels Børn, da opløftede Folket sin Røst, og de græd.
5 and they call the name of that place Bochim, and sacrifice there to Jehovah.
Og de kaldte det samme Steds Navn Bokim, og de ofrede til Herren der.
6 And Joshua sendeth the people away, and the sons of Israel go, each to his inheritance, to possess the land;
Og der Josva lod Folket fare, og Israels Børn gik hver til sin Arv for at eje Landet,
7 and the people serve Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who prolonged days after Joshua, who saw all the great work of Jehovah which He did to Israel.
da tjente Folket Herren, saa længe Josva levede, og saa længe de ældste levede, som levede længe efter Josva, hvilke havde set al Herrens store Gerning, som han havde gjort imod Israel.
8 And Joshua son of Nun, servant of Jehovah, dieth, a son of a hundred and ten years,
Men der Josva, Nuns Søn, Herrens Tjener, var død, hundrede og ti Aar gammel,
9 and they bury him in the border of his inheritance, in Timnath-Heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of mount Gaash;
og de havde begravet ham i hans Arvs Landemærke, i Thimnat-Heres, paa Efraims Bjerg, Norden for det Bjerg Gaas,
10 and also all that generation have been gathered unto their fathers, and another generation riseth after them who have not known Jehovah, and even the work which He hath done to Israel.
og der hele den samme Slægt ogsaa var forsamlet til sine Fædre, da kom en anden Slægt op efter dem, som ikke kendte Herren, ej heller den Gerning, som han havde gjort mod Israel.
11 And the sons of Israel do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and serve the Baalim,
Da gjorde Israels Børn det onde for Herrens Øjne, og de tjente Baalerne.
12 and forsake Jehovah, God of their fathers, who bringeth them out from the land of Egypt, and go after other gods (of the gods of the peoples who [are] round about them), and bow themselves to them, and provoke Jehovah,
Og de forlode Herren deres Fædres Gud, som havde udført dem af Ægyptens Land, og vandrede efter andre Guder; af de Folks Guder, som vare trindt omkring dem, og tilbade dem; og de opirrede Herren.
13 yea, they forsake Jehovah, and do service to Baal and to Ashtaroth.
Og de forlode Herren og tjente Baal og Astharoth.
14 And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He giveth them into the hand of spoilers, and they spoil them, and He selleth them into the hand of their enemies round about, and they have not been able any more to stand before their enemies;
Saa optændtes Herrens Vrede over Israel, og han gav dem i Røveres Haand, og disse røvede fra dem; og han solgte dem i deres Fjenders Haand trindt omkring, og de kunde ikke ydermere bestaa for deres Fjenders Ansigt.
15 in every [place] where they have gone out, the hand of Jehovah hath been against them for evil, as Jehovah hath spoken, and as Jehovah hath sworn to them, and they are distressed — greatly.
I alt det, som de udgik til, var Herrens Haand imod dem til det onde, som Herren havde sagt, og som Herren havde svoret dem; og de bleve saare ængstede.
16 And Jehovah raiseth up judges, and they save them from the hand of their spoilers;
Og Herren oprejste Dommere, og de frelste dem af deres Røveres Haand.
17 and also unto their judges they have not hearkened, but have gone a-whoring after other gods, and bow themselves to them; they have turned aside [with] haste out of the way [in] which their fathers walked to obey the commands of Jehovah — they have not done so.
Men de vare heller ikke deres Dommere lydige, thi de bolede med andre Guder og tilbade dem; de vege snart fra den Vej, som deres Fædre havde vandret paa ved at lyde Herrens Bud, de gjorde ikke saaledes.
18 And when Jehovah raised up to them judges — then was Jehovah with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it repenteth Jehovah, because of their groaning from the presence of their oppressors, and of those thrusting them away.
Og naar Herren oprejste dem Dommere, da var Herren med Dommeren, og han frelste dem af deres Fjenders Haand, saa længe den Dommer levede; thi Herren ynkedes over dem for deres Suk over dem, som trængte dem og fortrykte dem.
19 And it hath come to pass, at the death of the judge — they turn back and have done corruptly above their fathers, to go after other gods, to serve them, and to bow themselves to them; they have not fallen from their doings, and from their stiff way.
Men det skete, naar Dommeren døde, da vendte de om og gjorde værre end deres Fædre ved at vandre efter andre Guder, at tjene dem og at tilbede dem; de lode ikke af fra deres Gerninger eller fra deres haarde Vej.
20 And the anger of Jehovah doth burn against Israel, and He saith, 'Because that this nation have transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened to My voice —
Og Herrens Vrede optændtes over Israel, og han sagde: Efterdi dette Folk har overtraadt min Pagt, som jeg har budt deres Fædre, og de løde ikke min Røst,
21 I also continue not to dispossess any from before them of the nations which Joshua hath left when he dieth,
da vil jeg heller ikke ydermere fordrive fra deres Ansigt nogen af Hedningerne, som Josva efterlod, der han døde,
22 in order to try Israel by them, whether they are keeping the way of Jehovah, to go in it, as their fathers kept [it] or not.'
for at forsøge Israel ved dem, om de vilde tage Vare paa Herrens Vej, at vandre paa den, ligesom deres Fædre toge Vare derpaa, eller ej.
23 And Jehovah leaveth these nations, so as not to dispossess them hastily, and did not give them into the hand of Joshua.
Saa lod Herren disse Hedninger blive, saa at han ikke snart fordrev dem; og han havde ikke givet dem i Josvas Haand.
