Josua 13

1 Då nu Josua vardt gammal, och väl till ålders, sade Herren till honom: Du äst gammal vorden, och väl till ålders, och landet är ännu mycket qvart, som intagas skall:

When Joshua was very old, Yahweh said to him, “Joshua, you are now an old man, but there is still a lot of land [for your army] to capture.

2 Nämliga hela landet de Philisteers och hela Gessuri,

Here is a list of the land that remains: The Geshur region and all the area where the Philistia people-group live;

3 Ifrå Sichor, som löper framom Egypten, allt intill Ekrons landsändar norrut, hvilka de Cananeer tillräknas; fem de Philisteers herrar, nämliga de Gasiter, de Asdoditer, de Askaloniter, de Gittiter, de Ekroniter, och de Aviter.

the area where the Canaan people-group live, from the Shihor River [in the south] at the [eastern] border of Egypt, to Ekron [city] in the north; the rulers of the five [cities] of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron; the area where the Avva people-group live,

4 Men ifrå söder är hela de Cananeers land, och Mearah de Zidoniers, allt intill Aphek, och till de Amoreers landsändar;

which is south of the area where the Canaan people-group live;

5 Dertill de Gibliters land, och hela Libanon österut, ifrå BaalGad nedanför berget Hermon, tilldess man kommer till Hamath;

the area where the Gebal people-group live; and all the Lebanon area east of Baal-Gad [city] at the bottom of Hermon Mountain, as far as Lebo-Hamath.

6 Alle de som på bergen bo, ifrå Libanon intill det varma vattnet, och alle Zidonier; jag skall fördrifva dem för Israels barn; kasta lott derom, till att utskifta dem emellan Israel, såsom jag hafver budit dig.

All the people of the Sidon people-group live in the hilly area from Lebanon to Misrephoth-Maim, but I will force them to leave that area before you Israelis arrive there. Be sure to give that area to the Israeli people when you divide the land among them, like I told you to do.

7 Så skift nu denna landen emellan de nio slägter till arfs, och emellan den halfva slägten Manasse.

Divide all that land among the nine Israeli tribes and half of the tribe of Manasseh, [the tribes that do not have land on the east side of the Jordan River].”

8 Ty de Rubeniter och Gaditer hafva med den andra halfva Manasse undfått deras arfvedel, som Mose dem gaf på hinsidon Jordan österut, såsom Herrans tjenare Mose dem det gifvit hafver.

Half of the tribe of Manasseh and the tribes of Reuben and Gad had already been told what land they would receive, because Moses, the man who served Yahweh [well], had already assigned to them the land on the east side of the Jordan [River].

9 Ifrån Aroer, som ligger på bäcksens strand vid Arnon, och ifrå den staden midt i bäcken, och all den ängden Medeba allt intill Dibon;

Their land extended from Aroer [town] at the Arnon River gorge to the town in the middle of the gorge. It included the whole plain from Medeba [town south] to Dibon [town].

10 Och alla Sihons, de Amoreers Konungs, städer, som satt i Hesbon, allt intill Ammons barnas landsändar;

All the towns ruled by King Sihon were in that area. The land extended to where the Ammon people-group lived.

11 Dertill Gilead, och de landsändar vid Gessuri och Maachati, och hela berget Hermon, och hela Basan, allt intill Salcha,

The Gilead area was also there, and the regions where the people of the Geshur and Maacah people-groups lived, and all of Hermon Mountain and all the Bashan region [south] to Salecah.

12 Hela Ogs rike i Basan, den i Astaroth och Edrei satt, hvilken ännu igen var af de Resar; men Mose slog dem, och fördref dem.

All the land ruled by Og, the king who ruled the Bashan [region], was in that land. Og was one of the last descendants of Repha; previously he had ruled in Ashtaroth and Edrei [cities], but [the armies of] Moses had defeated their armies and had taken their land from them.

13 Men Israels barn fördrefvo icke dem i Gessur, och i Maachath; utan de bodde, både Gessur och Maachath, ibland Israels barn allt intill denna dag.

But the Israelis did not force the people of the Geshur and Maacah [people-groups] to leave their land, so they still live among the Israeli people.

14 Men de Leviters slägte gaf han ingen arfvedel; ty Herrans Israels Guds offer är deras arfvedel, såsom han dem sagt hade.

The tribe of Levi was the only tribe that did not get any land. Instead, just like Yahweh promised, they continued to receive [food from] the sacrifices that were given to Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worship], the sacrifices that were burned [on the sacred altar].

15 Så gaf Mose Rubens barnas slägte, efter deras ätter;

Moses had allotted land to each clan in the tribe of Reuben.

16 Så att deras landsändar voro ifrån Aroer, som ligger på bäcksens strand vid Arnon, och den staden midt i bäcken, med alla slättmarkene intill Medeba;

Their land extended from Aroer [town] near the Arnon River gorge to Medeba [town]. That included all of the plain [that is near Medeba] and the town in the middle of the gorge.

17 Hesbon och alla dess städer, som ligga på slättmarkene, Dibon, BamothBaal, och BethBaalMeon,

It also included Heshbon [city] and all the nearby towns on the plain—Dibon, Bamioth-Baal, Beth-Baal-Meon,

18 Jahza, Kedemoth, Mephaath,

Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,

19 Kiriathaim, Sibma, SerethSahar uppå berget Emek,

Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-Shahar on the hill overlooking the valley,

20 BethPeor, de bäcker vid Pisga, och BethJesimoth,

Beth-Peor, the hills in the Pisgah area, and Beth-Jeshimoth.

21 Och alla de städer på slättmarkene; och hela Sihons, de Amoreers Konungs, rike, som satt i Hesbon, den Mose slog med de Förstar i Midian, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur och Reba, hvilke Konung Sihons höfvitsmän voro, som i landena bodde.

That land included all the towns on the plain and all the area that King Sihon had previously ruled. But [the army of] Moses had defeated him and the rulers of the Midian people-group: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. The armies of all those rulers fought battles along with the army of Sihon, and they lived in that country.

22 Dertill Bileam, Beors son, den spåmannen, slogo Israels barn med svärd, samt med de andra dräpna.

The Israeli army killed many people during those battles, including Balaam, [the prophet] from Beor, who tried to use magic to predict/tell what would happen in the future.

23 Och landamäret till Rubens barn var Jordan. Detta är nu Rubens barnas arfvedel i deras ätter, städer och byar.

The [western] boundary of the land that was allotted to the clans of the tribe of Reuben was the Jordan [River].

24 Gads barnas slägte, efter deras ätter, gaf Mose,

Moses also allotted some land to each clan in the tribe of Gad.

25 Så att deras landsändar voro Jaeser, och alla de städer i Gilead, och halft Ammons barnas land, allt intill Aroer, som ligger för Rabbah;

Their land included the Jazer [area] and all the towns of the Gilead [area]; half of the land where the Ammon people-group lived, as far as Aroer [town which is] near Rabbah [town];

26 Och ifrå Hesbon intill RamathMizpe och Betonim; och ifrå Mahanaim allt intill Debirs landsändar;

the area from Heshbon [city] to Ramath-Mizpah and Betonim [towns; the area] from Mahanaim [town] to the Debir region;

27 Men i dalenom, BethHaram, BethNimra, Succoth och Zaphon, som qvart var af Sihons rike, Konungens i Hesbon, hvilkets gränsa var Jordan, allt intill ändan af hafvet Cinnereth, på denna sidone Jordan, österut.

Beth-Haram, Beth-Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon [cities] in the valley; and the other area that King Sihon had ruled on the east side of the Jordan River. That area extended [north] to the southern end of Galilee Lake.

28 Detta är nu Gads barnas arfvedel, i deras ätter, städer och byar.

All this land, including the towns and villages, was allotted to the tribe of Gad.

29 Den halfva Manasse barnas slägt, efter deras ätter, gaf Mose,

Moses also had allotted some of the land [on the east side of the Jordan River] to half of the tribe of Manasseh.

30 Så att deras landsändar voro ifrå Mahanaim, hela Basan; hela Ogs rike, Konungens i Basan, och alla Jairs byar, som i Basan ligga, nämliga sextio städer;

Their land extended [north] from Mahanaim [city]. It included all the Bashan region, all the land that King Og had ruled, and all the towns in the Jair area in Bashan. Altogether that area included 60 towns.

31 Och halfva Gilead, Astaroth, Edrei, Ogs rikes städer i Basan, gaf han Machirs Manasse sons barnom, det är, hälftena af Machirs barnom, efter deras ätter.

Their area also included half of the Gilead region, and the cities of Ashtaroth and Edrei where King Og had ruled. All that area was allotted to the clans descended from Manasseh’s son Makir.

32 Detta är det som Mose utskifte uppå Moabs mark, hinsidon Jordan in mot Jericho, österut.

Moses had allotted to those tribes the land that was on the plain of the Moab [region], on the east side of the Jordan [River], across from Jericho.

33 Men Levi slägte gaf Mose ingen arfvedel; ty Herren Israels Gud är deras arfvedel, såsom han dem sagt hade.

But Moses did not allot any land to the tribe of Levi because Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis worship, promised that he himself would always provide for them.
