4 Mosebog 32
1 Rubeniterne og Gaditerne havde meget Kvæg i store mængder. Da de nu saa Ja'zers Land og Gileads Land, fandt de, at Stedet egnede sig til Kvægavl.
Now the descendants of Reuben and of Gad had large numbers of livestock. When they saw the land of Jazer and Gilead, the land was a wonderful place for livestock.
2 Derfor kom Gaditerne og Rubeniterne og sagde til Moses og Præsten Eleazar og Menighedens Øverste:
So the descendants of Gad and Reuben came and spoke to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the leaders of the community. They said,
3 »Atarot, Dibon, Ja'zer, Nimra, Hesjbon, El'ale, Sebam, Nebo og Beon,
“This is a list of places we have surveyed: Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon.
4 det Land, HERREN har erobret for Israels Menighed, er et Land, der egner sig til Kvægavl, og dine Trælle ejer Hjorde.«
These are the lands that Yahweh attacked before the community of Israel, and they are good places for livestock. We, your servants, have a lot of livestock.”
5 Og de sagde: »Dersom vi har fundet Naade for dine Øjne, saa lad dine Trælle faa dette Land i Eje; før os ikke over Jordan!«
They said, “If we have found favor in your eyes, let this land be given to us, your servants, as a possession. Do not make us cross over the Jordan.”
6 Men Moses sagde til Gaditerne og Rubeniterne: »Skal eders Brødre drage i Krig, medens I bliver boende her?
Moses replied to the descendants of Gad and Reuben, “Should your brothers go to war while you settle down here?
7 Og hvorfor vil I betage Israeliterne Modet til at drage over til det Land, HERREN har givet dem?
Why discourage the hearts of the people of Israel from going over into the land that Yahweh has given them?
8 Det gjorde eders Fædre, da jeg fra Kadesj-Barnea sendte dem hen for at se paa Landet;
Your fathers did the same thing when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to examine the land.
9 da de var draget op til Esjkoldalen og havde set paa Landet, det og de Israeliterne Modet til at drage ind i det Land, HERREN havde givet dem.
They went up to the Valley of Eshkol. They saw the land and then discouraged the hearts of the people of Israel so that they refused to enter the land that Yahweh had given them.
10 Men HERRENS Vrede blussede den Gang op, og han svor:
Yahweh's anger was kindled on that day. He took an oath and said,
11 De Mænd, der er draget op fra Ægypten, fra Tyveaarsalderen og opefter, skal ikke faa det Land at se, jeg tilsvor Abraham, Isak og Jakob, fordi de ikke viste mig fuld Lydighed,
'Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and up, will see the land about which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, because they have not completely followed me, except for
12 med Undtagelse af Kenizziten Kaleb, Jefunnes Søn, og Josua, Nuns Søn, thi de viste HERREN fuld Lydighed!
Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua son of Nun. Only Caleb and Joshua have completely followed me.'
13 Og HERRENS Vrede blussede op mod Israel, og han lod dem vanke om i Ørkenen i fyrretyve Aar, indtil hele den Slægt var gaaet til Grunde, der gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne.
So Yahweh's anger was kindled against Israel. He made them wander around in the wilderness for forty years until all the generation who had done evil in his sight was destroyed.
14 Og se, I træder nu i eders Fædres Fodspor, en Yngel af Syndere, for yderligere at øge HERRENS Vrede mod Israel!
Look, you have risen up in your fathers' place, like just more sinful men, to add to Yahweh's burning anger toward Israel.
15 Naar I viger bort fra ham, vil han lade det blive endnu længer i Ørkenen, og I bringer Fordærvelse over hele dette Folk.«
If you turn away from following him, he will again leave Israel in the wilderness and you will have destroyed all this people.”
16 Da traadte de frem for ham og sagde: »Vi vil kun bygge Kvægfolde til vore Hjorde her og Byer til vore Familier;
So they came near Moses and said, “Allow us to build fences here for our cattle and cities for our families.
17 men selv vil vi ruste os til Kamp og drage i Spidsen for Israeliterne, til vi har bragt dem hen til deres Sted; imens skal vore Familier blive i de befæstede Byer i Ly for Landets Indbyggere.
However, we ourselves will be ready and armed to go with Israel's army until we have led them into their place. But our families will live in the fortified cities because of the other people who still live in this land.
18 Vi vil ikke vende tilbage til vore Huse, før enhver af Israeliterne har faaet sin Arvelod;
We will not return to our houses until every one of the people of Israel has obtained his inheritance.
19 thi vi vil ikke have Arvelod sammen med dem paa den anden Side af Jordan og længere borte, eftersom vi har faaet vor Arvelod her paa denne Side af Jordan paa Østsiden.«
We will not inherit the land with them on the other side of the Jordan, because our inheritance is here on the east side of the Jordan.”
20 Da sagde Moses til dem: »Hvis I gør det, hvis I ruster eder til Kamp for HERRENS Aasyn,
So Moses replied to them, “If you do what you say, if you arm yourselves to go before Yahweh to war,
21 hvis alle eders kamprustede Mænd overskrider Jordan for HERRENS Aasyn og bliver der, indtil han har jaget sine Fjender bort fra sit Aasyn,
then every one of your armed men must cross over the Jordan before Yahweh, until he has driven out his enemies from before him
22 og hvis I først vender tilbage, naar Landet er undertvunget for HERRENS Aasyn, skal I være sagesløse over for HERREN og Israel, og saa skal Landet her blive eders Ejendom for HERRENS Aasyn.
and the land is subdued before him. Then afterward you may return. You will be guiltless toward Yahweh and toward Israel. This land will be your possession before Yahweh.
23 Men hvis I ikke gør det, se, da synder I mod HERREN, og da skal I faa eders Synd at mærke, den skal nok finde eder.
But if you do not do so, look, you will have sinned against Yahweh. Be sure that your sin will find you out.
24 Byg eder Byer til eders Familier og Folde til eders Smaakvæg og gør, som I har sagt!«
Build cities for your families and pens for your sheep; then do what you have said.”
25 Da sagde Gaditerne og Rubeniterne til Moses: »Dine Trælle vil gøre, som min Herre byder;
The descendants of Gad and Reuben spoke to Moses and said, “Your servants will do as you, our master, commands.
26 vore Børn, Kvinder, Hjorde og alt vort Kvæg skal blive der i Gileads Byer,
Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock will stay there in the cities of Gilead.
27 men dine Trælle vil drage over og tage Del i Krigen, saa mange som er rustet til Kamp for HERRENS Aasyn, saaledes som min Herre har sagt.«
However, we, your servants, will cross over before Yahweh to battle, every man who is armed for war, as you, our master, say.”
28 Saa gav Moses Præsten Eleazar og Josua, Nuns Søn, og Overhovederne for de israelitiske Stammers Fædrenehuse Befaling om dem,
So Moses gave instructions concerning them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua son of Nun, and to the leaders of the ancestor's clans in the tribes of the people of Israel.
29 og Moses sagde til dem: »Hvis Gaditerne og Rubeniterne, saa mange som er rustet til Kamp for HERRENS Aasyn, gaar over Jordan sammen med eder og Landet bliver eder underlagt, skal I give dem Gilead i Eje;
Moses said to them, “If the descendants of Gad and Reuben cross over the Jordan with you, every man who is armed to battle before Yahweh, and if the land is subdued before you, then you will give them the land of Gilead as a possession.
30 men hvis de ikke gaar over sammen med eder, rustede til Kamp, skal de have Bopæl anvist blandt eder i Kana'ans Land.«
But if they do not cross over with you armed, then they will acquire their possessions among you in the land of Canaan.”
31 Da svarede Gaditerne og Rubeniterne: »Hvad HERREN har talt til dine Trælle, vil vi gøre;
So the descendants of Gad and Reuben answered and said, “As Yahweh has said to us, your servants, this is what we will do.
32 vi vil, rustede til Kamp for HERRENS Øjne, drage over til Kana'ans Land, men vor Arvelod paa den anden Side af Jordan bliver i vort Eje.«
We will cross over armed before Yahweh into the land of Canaan, but our possessed inheritance will remain with us on this side of the Jordan.”
33 Da gav Moses Gaditerne, Rubeniterne og Josefs Søn Manasses halve Stamme Amoriterkongen Sihons Kongerige og Kong Og af Basans Kongerige, Landet med Byerne og deres Omraade, Landets Byer rundt om.
So to the descendants of Gad and Reuben, and also to the half tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph, Moses gave the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and of Og, king of Bashan. He gave to them the land, and distributed to them all its cities with their borders, the cities of the land around them.
34 Saa byggede Gaditerne Dibon, Atarot, Aroer.
The descendants of Gad rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35 Atarot-Sjofan, Ja'zer, Jogbeha,
Atroth Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
36 Bet-Nimra, Bet-Haran, befæstede Byer, og Kvægfolde;
Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran as fortified cities with pens for sheep.
37 og Rubeniterne byggede Hesjbon, El'ale og Kirjatajim,
The descendants of Reuben rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
38 Nebo og Ba'al-Meon, hvis Navne ændredes, og Sibma; og de opkaldte Byerne, som de byggede, efter deres Navne.
Nebo, Baal Meon—their names were later changed, and Sibmah. They gave other names to the cities that they rebuilt.
39 Og Manasses Søn Makirs Sønner drog til Gilead og erobrede det og drev de der boende Amoriter bort;
The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead and took it away from the Amorites who were in it.
40 og Moses overdrog Gilead til Manasses Søn Makir, og han bosatte sig der;
Then Moses gave Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh, and his people settled there.
41 men Manasses Søn Ja'ir drog hen og erobrede deres Teltbyer og kaldte dem Ja'irs Teltbyer.
Jair son of Manasseh went and captured its towns and called them Havvoth Jair.
42 Og Noba drog hen og erobrede Kenat med tilhørende Smaabyer og kaldte det Noba efter sit eget Navn.
Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages, and he called it Nobah, after his own name.
