Joshua 21

1 Then came near the ancestral heads of the Levites, unto Eleazar, the priest, and unto Joshua son of Nun, —and unto the ancestral heads of the tribes, of the sons of Israel;

Da gik Øversterne for Leviternes Fædrenehuse frem til Eleasar, Præsten, og til Josva, Nuns Søn, og til Øversterne for Fædrenehusene blandt Israels Børns Stammer,

2 and spake unto them in Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying: Yahweh himself, commanded, by the hand of Moses, that there should be given unto us cities to dwell in, —with their pasture-lands for our cattle.

og de talede til dem i Silo i Kanaans Land og sagde: Herren bød ved Mose, at man skulde give os Stæder at bo udi og deres Marker til vort Kvæg.

3 So the sons of Israel gave unto the Levites, out of their own inheritance, at the bidding of Yahweh, —these cities, with their pasture-lands.

Da gave Israels Børn Leviterne af deres Arv, efter Herrens Mund, disse Stæder og deres Marker.

Saa gave Israels Børn Leviterne ved Lodkastning disse Stæder og deres Marker, ligesom Herren havde budet ved Mose.

9 Thus then they gave—out of the tribe of the sons of Judah and out of the tribe of the sons of Simeon—these cities which are mentioned by name.

Og de gave dem af Judas Børns Stamme og af Simeons Børns Stamme disse Stæder, som man nævnede ved Navn.

10 And the sons of Aaron, from among the sons of Kohath, from among the sons of Levi, had them, —because, theirs, was the first lot;

Og Arons Børn af Kahathiternes Slægter, af Levi Børn, fik disse — thi den første Lod var deres —

11 yea there was given unto them, the city of Arba, the father of Anak, the same, is Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, —with the pasture land thereof, round about it;

Alle disse vare Merari Børns Stæder efter deres Slægter, de øvrige af Leviternes Slægter, og deres Lod var tolv Stæder.

41 All the cities of the Levites, in the midst of the possession of the sons of Israel, were forty-eight cities, with their pasture lands:

Alle Leviternes Stæder midt i Israels Børns Ejendom, vare otte og fyrretyve Stæder og deres Marker.

42 these cities passed, each severally, with its pasture lands round about it; thus, was it with all these cities.

Disse Stæder laa hver for sig, med deres Marker trindt omkring; saaledes havde det sig med alle disse.

43 So Yahweh gave unto Israel, all the land which he had sworn to give unto their fathers, —and they took possession thereof, and dwelt therein.

Og Herren gav Israel alt det Land, som han havde svoret at give deres Fædre, og de toge det i Eje og boede derudi.

44 And Yahweh gave them rest round about, according to all that he had sworn unto their fathers, —and there stood not a man before them, of all their enemies; all their enemies, did Yahweh deliver into their hand.

Og Herren gav dem Rolighed trindt omkring, efter alt det, som han havde svoret deres Fædre; og ingen bestod for deres Ansigt af alle deres Fjender; Herren gav alle deres Fjender i deres Haand.

45 There failed not a thing, out of all the good things, whereof Yahweh had spoken unto the house of Israel, —the whole, came to pass.

Der blev ikke et Ord til intet af alle de gode Ord, som Herren havde talet til Israels Hus, det opfyldtes alt sammen.
