Josua 11
1 Da Kong Jabin af Hazor hørte herom sendte han Bud til Kong Jobab af Madon og Kongerne af Sjimron og Aksjaf.
And when Jabis the king of Asor heard, he sent to Jobab king of Maron, and to the king of Symoon, and to the king of Aziph,
2 og til Kongerne nordpå i Bjergene, i Arabalavningen sønden for Kinnerot, i Lavlandet og på Højdedraget vestpå ved Dor,
and to the kings who were by the great Sidon, to the hill country and to Araba opposite Keneroth, and to the plain, and to Phenaeddor,
3 til Kana'anæerne i Øst og Vest, Amoriterne, Hivviterne, Perizziterne og Jebusiterne i Bjergene og Hetiterne ved Foden af Hermon i Mizpas Land;
and to the Chananites on the coast eastward, and to the Amorites on the coast, and the Chettites, and the Pherezites, and the Jebusites in the mountain, and the Evites, and those dwelling under [mount] Aermon in the land Massyma.
4 og de drog ud med alle deres Hære, Krigsfolk talrige som Sandet ved Havets Bred, og med en stor Mængde Heste og Stridsvogne.
And they and their kings with them went forth, as the sand of the sea in multitude, and horses, and very many chariots.
5 Alle disse Konger slog sig sammen og kom og lejrede sig i Forening ved Meroms Vand for at angribe Israel.
And all the kings assembled in person, and came to the same place, and encamped at the waters of Maron to war with Israel.
6 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!"
And the Lord said to Joshua, Be not afraid of them, for to-morrow [at] this time I will put them to flight before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire
7 Da kom Josua med hele Hæren uventet over dem ved Meroms Vand og kastede sig over dem,
And Joshua and all the men of war came upon them at the water of Maron suddenly; and they attacked them in the hill country.
8 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.
And the Lord delivered them into the power of Israel; and they smote them and pursued them to great Sidon, and to Maseron, and to the plains of Massoch eastward; and they destroyed them till there was not one of them left that survived.
9 Josua gjorde derpå med dem, som HERREN havde sagt ham; deres Heste lammede han, og deres Vogne brændte han.
And Joshua did to them, as the Lord commanded him: he houghed their horses, and burned their chariots with fire.
10 Ved den Tid vendte Josua om og indtog Hazor, og Kongen huggede han ned med Sværdet; Hazor var nemlig fordum alle disse Kongerigers Hovedstad;
And Joshua returned at that time, and took Asor and her king; now Asor in former time was the chief of these kingdoms.
11 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.
And they slew with the sword all that breathed in it, and utterly destroyed them all, and there was no living thing left in it; and they burnt Asor with fire.
12 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.
And Joshua took all the cities of the kingdoms, and their kings, and slew them with the edge of the sword; and utterly slew them, as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded.
13 Men ingen af de Byer, som lå på deres Høje, stak Israel i Brand, alene med Undtagelse af Hazor; den stak Josua i Brand.
But all the walled cities Israel burnt not; but Israel burnt Asor only.
14 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.
And the children of Israel took all its spoils to themselves; and they slew all the men with the edge of the sword, until he destroyed them; they left not one of them breathing.
15 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.
As the Lord commanded his servant Moses, even so Moses commanded Joshua; and so Joshua did, he transgressed no precept of all that Moses commanded him.
16 Således indtog Josua hele dette Land, Bjerglandet, hele Sydlandet, hele Landskabet Gosjen, Lavlandet, Arabalavningen, Israels Bjergland og Lavland,
And Joshua took all the hill country, and all the land of Nageb, and all the land of Gosom, and the plain country, and that toward the west, and the mountain of Israel and the low country by the mountain;
17 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.
from the mountain of Chelcha, and that which goes up to Seir, and as far as Balagad, and the plains of Libanus, under mount Aermon; and he took all their kings, and destroyed, and slew them.
18 I lang Tid førte Josua Krig med disse Konger
And for many days Joshua waged war with these kings.
19 Der var ingen By, som sluttede Overenskomst med Israeliterne, undtagen Hivviterne, som boede i Gibeon. Alt tog de i Kamp;
And there was no city which Israel took not; they took all in war.
20 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.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts to go forth to war against Israel, that they might be utterly destroyed, that mercy should not be granted to them, but that they should be utterly destroyed, as the Lord said to Moses.
21 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.
And Joshua came at that time, and utterly destroyed the Enakim out of the hill country, from Chebron and from Dabir, and from Anaboth, and from all the race of Israel, and from all the mountain of Juda with their cities; and Joshua utterly destroyed them.
22 Der blev ingen Anakiter tilbage i Israeliternes Land, kun i Gaza, Gat og Asdod blev der Levninger tilbage.
There was not [any one] left of the Enakim by the children of Israel, only there was left of them in Gaza, and in Gath, and in Aseldo.
23 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.
And Joshua took all the land, as the Lord commanded Moses; and Joshua gave them for an inheritance to Israel by division according to their tribes; and the land ceased from war.
