1 Men da Kana'anæeren, Kongen af Arad, der boede i Sydlandet, hørte, at Israel rykkede frem ad Atarimvejen, angreb han Israel og tog nogle af dem til Fange.
1 When the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, then he fought against Israel and took some of them captive.
3 Og HERREN hørte Israels Røst og gav Kana'anæerne i deres Hånd, hvorefter de lagde Band på dem og deres Byer. Derfor gav man Stedet Navnet Horma.
3 The Lord heard the voice of Israel and delivered up the Canaanites; then they utterly destroyed them and their cities. Thus the name of the place was called Hormah.
5 og talte mod Gud og Moses og sagde: "Hvorfor førte I os ud af Ægypten, når vi skal dø i Ørkenen? Her er jo hverken Brød eller Vand, og vi er lede ved denne usle Føde."
5 The people spoke against God and Moses, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we loathe this miserable food.”
7 Så kom Folket til Moses og sagde: "Vi har syndet ved at tale imod HERREN og dig; gå i Forbøn hos HERREN, at han tager Slangerne fra os!" Og Moses gik i Forbøn for Folket.
7 So the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and you; intercede with the Lord, that He may remove the serpents from us.” And Moses interceded for the people.
9 Da lavede Moses en Kobberslange og satte den på en Stang; og enhver, der så hen på Kobberslangen, når en Slange havde bidt ham, beholdt Livet.
9 And Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on the standard; and it came about, that if a serpent bit any man, when he looked to the bronze serpent, he lived.
13 Derfra brød de op og slog Lejr i Ørkenen hinsides Arnon, som udspringer på Amoriternes Område, thi Arnon var Moabs Grænse mod Amoriterne.
13 From there they journeyed and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the border of the Amorites, for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
22 "Lad mig få Lov at drage igennem dit Land! Vi vil ikke dreje ind på Marker eller i Vinhaver, vi vil ikke drikke Vand af Brøndene, vi vil følge Kongevejen, indtil vi er nået igennem dit Land!
22 “Let me pass through your land. We will not turn off into field or vineyard; we will not drink water from wells. We will go by the king’s highway until we have passed through your border.”
23 Men Sihon tillod ikke Israel at drage igennem sit Land; derimod samlede han alt sit krigsfolk og rykkede ud i Ørkenen imod Israel, og da han nåede Jaza, angreb han Israel.
23 But Sihon would not permit Israel to pass through his border. So Sihon gathered all his people and went out against Israel in the wilderness, and came to Jahaz and fought against Israel.
24 Men Israel slog ham med Sværdet og underlagde sig hans Land fra Arnon til Jabbok, til Ammoniternes Land; thi Jazer ligger ved Ammoniternes Grænse;
24 Then Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the sons of Ammon; for the border of the sons of Ammon was Jazer.
26 Thi Hesjbon var Amoriterkongen Sihons By; han havde angrebet Moabs forrige konge og frataget ham hele hans Land indtil Arnon.
26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and had taken all his land out of his hand, as far as the Arnon.
29 Ve dig, Moab! Det er ude med dig, Kemosjs Folk! Han gjorde sine Sønner til Flygtninge og sine Døtre til Krigsfanger for Sihon, Amoriternes Konge.
29 “Woe to you, O Moab!You are ruined, O people of Chemosh!He has given his sons as fugitives,And his daughters into captivity,To an Amorite king, Sihon.
34 Men HERREN sagde til Moses: "Frygt ikke for ham! Thi jeg giver ham og alle hans krigere og hans Land i din Hånd, så at du kan handle med ham, som du handlede med Amoriterkongen Sihon, der boede i Hesjbon."
34 But the Lord said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have given him into your hand, and all his people and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.”
