< Deuteronomy 3 >

1 Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, unto 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 And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I have delivered him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt 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 delivered into our hand Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none 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 And we took all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we took not from them; threescore 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 fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside the unwalled towns a great many.
lutter Byer, der var befæstet med høje Mure, Porte og Portslåer, foruden de mange åbne Byer;
6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto 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 cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey unto ourselves.
men alt Kvæget, og hvad vi røvede fra Byerne, tog vi selv som Bytte.
8 And we took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond Jordan, from the valley of Arnon unto mount Hermon;
Således erobrede vi dengang Landet fra de to Amoriterkonger hinsides Jordan fra Arnonfloden til Hermonbjerget
9 ([which] Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir; )
Zidonierne kalder Hermon Sirjon, men Amoriterne kalder det Senir
10 all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto 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; is it not in Rabbah of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, 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 And this land we took in possession at that time: from Aroer, which is by the valley of Arnon, and half the hill country of Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto 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, gave I unto 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, unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites; and called them, even Bashan, after his own name, Havvoth-jair, unto 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 And I gave Gilead unto Machir.
Og Makir gav jeg Gilead;
16 And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the valley of Arnon, the middle of the valley, and the border [thereof]; even unto 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 Jordan and the border [thereof], from Chinnereth even unto 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 And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all the men of valour.
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 cattle, (I know that ye have much cattle, ) shall abide 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 give rest unto your brethren, as unto you, and they also possess the land which the LORD your God giveth them beyond Jordan: then shall ye return every man unto his 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 And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms whither thou goest 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 Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth for you.
Du skal ikke frygte for dem; thi HERREN eders Gud vil selv kæmpe for eder!"
23 And I besought the LORD at that time, saying,
Og dengang bad jeg således til HERREN:
24 O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy strong hand: for what god is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy mighty acts?
"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 Let me go over, I pray thee, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly 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 wroth with me for your sakes, and hearkened not unto me: and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto 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 Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold with thine eyes: for thou shalt 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 charge 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 thou shalt 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 abode in the valley over against Beth-peor.
Så blev vi i Dalen lige over for Bet Peor.
