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, to battle at Edrei.

Derpaa brød vi op og drog mod Basan. Og Kong Og af Basan rykkede med alle sine Krigere ud imod os til Kamp ved Edre'i.

2 And the LORD said to me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.

Da sagde HERREN til mig: »Frygt ikke for ham, thi jeg giver ham i din Haand 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 hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.

Saa gav HERREN vor Gud ogsaa Kong Og af Basan og alle hans Krigere i vor Haand, og vi slog ham, saa 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, sixty 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 cities were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars; besides unwalled towns a great number.

lutter Byer, der var befæstet med høje Mure, Porte og Portslaaer, foruden de mange aabne Byer;

6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.

og vi lagde Band paa dem, ligesom vi havde gjort ved Kong Sihon i Hesjbon, i enhver By lagde vi Band paa Mænd, Kvinder og Børn;

7 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves.

men alt Kvæget, og hvad vi røvede fra Byerne, tog vi selv som Bytte.

8 And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that was on this side of Jordan, from the river of Arnon to mount Hermon;

Saaledes 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 Shenir; )

Zidonierne kalder Hermon Sirjon, men Amoriterne kalder det Senir —

10 All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, to Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

alle Byerne paa Højsletten, hele Gilead og hele Basan lige til Salka og Edre'i, Byer i Kong Ogs Rige i Basan.

11 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length of it, 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, staar jo endnu i Rabba i Ammon, ni Alen lang og fire Alen bred efter vanligt Maal.)

12 And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites.

Saaledes 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, being the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.

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 country of Argob to the borders of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his own name, Bashanhavothjair, to this day.

Manasses Søn Ja'ir 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 to Machir.

Og Makir gav jeg Gilead;

16 And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even to the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even to 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 plain also, and Jordan, and the border of it, from Chinnereth even to the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, under Ashdothpisgah eastward.

og Arabalavningen med Jordan som Grænse fra Kinneret til Araba— eller 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 that are fit for the war.

Dengang gav jeg eder følgende Paabud: »HERREN eders Gud har givet eder dette Land i Eje; men I skal, saa mange krigsdygtige Mænd I er, drage væbnede i Spidsen for eders Brødre Israeliterne —

19 But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, ( for I know that ye have many 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 shall have given rest to your brethren, as well as to you, and until they also possess the land which the LORD your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and then shall ye return every man to his possession, which I have given you.

indtil HERREN bringer eders Brødre til Hvile ligesom eder, og de ogsaa faar taget det Land i Besiddelse, som HERREN eders Gud vil give dem hinsides Jordan; saa kan enhver af eder vende tilbage til den Ejendom, jeg har givet eder!«

21 And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thy eyes have seen all that the LORD your God hath done to these two kings: so shall the LORD do to all the kingdoms where thou passest.

Og Josua gav jeg dengang følgende Paabud: »Du har med egne Øjne set alt, hvad HERREN eders Gud har gjort ved disse to Konger; saaledes vil HERREN ogsaa gøre ved alle de Riger, du drager over til.

22 Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight 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 saaledes til HERREN:

24 O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?

»Herre, HERRE! Du har begyndt at vise din Tjener din Storhed og din stærke Haand! Thi hvem er den Gud i Himmelen og paa Jorden, der kan gøre saadanne Gerninger og Storværker som du?

25 I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.

Lad mig da faa Lov at drage over og se det herlige Land hinsides Jordan, det herlige Bjergland og Libanon!«

26 But the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the LORD said to me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more to me of this matter.

Men HERREN var vred paa 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 Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up thy eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold with thy eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.

men stig op paa 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 opposite Bethpeor.

Saa blev vi i Dalen lige over for Bet-Peor.
