5 Moseboken 2:4-37
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015

4 (A) Och säg till folket: Ni kommer att dra fram genom det område som tillhör era bröder, Esaus barn som bor i Seir. De är rädda för er, men var försiktiga. 5 (B) Ni ska inte gå i strid med dem, för av deras land ska jag inte ge er ens så mycket som en fotsbredd, eftersom jag redan har gett Seirs bergsbygd till besittning åt Esau. 6 Ni ska köpa mat att äta av dem för pengar, och köpa vatten att dricka av dem för pengar, 7 (C) för Herren din Gud har välsignat dig i allt du företagit dig. Han har tagit hand om dig under din vandring i denna stora öken. I dessa fyrtio år har Herren din Gud varit med dig och ingenting har fattats dig.”

8 Så drog vi bort från våra bröder, Esaus barn, som bodde i Seir, och lämnade Hedmarksvägen och Elat och Esjon-Geber. Vi vek av och tog vägen mot Moabs öken. 9 (D) Och Herren sade till mig: ”Du ska inte angripa Moab eller gå i strid med dem, för av deras land ska jag inte ge dig något till besittning, eftersom jag redan har gett Ar till Lots barn.”

10 (E) Förr bodde emeerna där, de var ett folk som var stort, talrikt och resligt som anakiterna. 11 Liksom anakiterna räknas också de för rafaeer[a], men moabiterna kallar dem emeer. 12 (F) I Seir bodde tidigare horeerna[b], men Esaus barn drev bort dem och förgjorde dem och bosatte sig i deras land, alldeles som Israel gjorde med det land som Herren hade gett dem till besittning.

13 (G) ”Så bryt nu upp och gå över bäcken Sered[c].” Vi gick då över den bäckravinen. 14 (H) Från den tid vi lämnade Kadesh-Barnea tills vi gick över bäcken Sered gick det trettioåtta år. Under den tiden dog hela det släkte av stridsmän som fanns i lägret, så som Herren med ed hade förklarat för dem. 15 Herrens hand var emot dem, och han utrotade dem ur lägret så att de dog.

16 När nu alla stridsmän i folket hade dött, 17 sade Herren till mig: 18 ”Du ska i dag gå över Moabs gräns vid Ar 19 (I) och ska då komma i närheten av ammoniterna. Men du ska inte angripa dem eller gå i strid med dem, för jag kommer inte att ge dig något i ammoniternas land till besittning, eftersom jag redan har gett det till Lots barn.”

20 Också detta räknas till rafaeernas land. Rafaeer bodde där tidigare, men ammoniterna kallar dem samsummiter. 21 De var ett folk som var stort, talrikt och resligt som anakiterna. Men Herren förgjorde dem för ammoniterna, som fördrev dem och bosatte sig i deras land. 22 På samma sätt gjorde han för Esaus barn som bor i Seir, när han förgjorde horeerna för dem. De drev bort dem och bosatte sig i deras land, där de bor än i dag. 23 Även aveerna som bodde i byar ända fram till Gaza blev förgjorda av kaftoreerna, som drog ut från Kaftor[d] och sedan bodde i deras land.

24 ”Bryt nu upp och gå över floden Arnon[e]. Se, jag har gett amorén Sichon, kungen i Heshbon, och hans land i din hand. Börja att inta det och ge dig i strid med honom. 25 (J) Redan i dag ska jag börja att inge fruktan och skräck för dig hos alla folk under himlen, så att de darrar och bävar för dig när de hör berättas om dig.”

Kung Sichon besegras

26 (K) Och jag skickade sändebud från Kedemots öken[f] till Sichon, kungen i Heshbon, med fridsamma ord och lät säga: 27 ”Låt mig gå igenom ditt land. Jag ska strikt följa vägen utan att vika av åt höger eller vänster. 28 Jag ska äta den mat som du vill sälja till mig för pengar och dricka det vatten som du vill ge mig för pengar. Låt mig bara passera igenom till fots 29 – på samma sätt som Esaus barn, Seirs invånare, och moabiterna, Ars invånare, handlade mot mig – så att jag kan gå över Jordan in i det land som Herren vår Gud vill ge oss.”

30 (L) Men Sichon, kungen i Heshbon, var inte villig att låta oss gå igenom hans land, för Herren din Gud hade förhärdat hans ande och gjort hans hjärta hårt för att ge honom i din hand, så som det är i dag. 31 Och Herren sade till mig: ”Se, jag börjar nu att ge Sichon och hans land till dig. Börja inta det så att du får hans land till besittning.”

32 Sichon drog då emot oss med allt sitt folk för att strida mot oss vid Jahas. 33 Men Herren vår Gud överlämnade honom till oss, och vi slog honom, hans söner och allt hans folk. 34 Vi intog vid den tiden alla hans städer och vigde[g] alla män, kvinnor och barn i varje stad åt förintelse. Vi lät ingen komma undan. 35 Bara boskapen tog vi som byte tillsammans med rovet från de städer vi intog. 36 Från Aroer vid floden Arnons strand, och från staden i dalen ända till Gilead fanns ingen stad vars murar var för höga för oss. Herren vår Gud gav allt till oss. 37 Men ammoniternas land lät du vara ifred, hela landsträckan längs Jabboks dalsänka och städerna i bergsbygden, alldeles som Herren vår Gud hade befallt.

Svenska 1917

4 Och bjud folket och säg: I kommen nu att draga fram genom det område som tillhör edra bröder, Esaus barn, vilka bo i Seir; men fastän de skola frukta för eder, mån I taga eder väl till vara.

5 I skolen icke inlåta eder i strid med dem, ty av deras land skall jag icke giva eder ens så mycket som en fotsbredd, eftersom jag redan har givit Seirs bergsbygd till besittning åt Esau.

6 Mat att äta skolen I köpa av dem för penningar; vatten att dricka skolen I ock köpa av dem för penningar.

7 HERREN, din Gud, har ju välsignat dig i alla dina händers verk; han har låtit sig vårda om din vandring i denna stora öken; nu i fyrtio år har HERREN, din Gud, varit med dig, och intet har fattats dig.

8 Så drog vi då åstad bort ifrån våra bröder, Esaus barn, som bodde i Seir, och lämnade Hedmarksvägen och Elat och Esjon-Geber. Vi vände oss nu åt annat håll och drogo fram på vägen till Moabs öken.

9 Och Herren sade till mig: »Du skall icke angripa Moab eller inlåta dig i strid med dem, ty av deras land skall jag icke giva dig något till besittning, eftersom jag redan har givit Ar åt Lots barn till besittning.

10 (Eméerna bodde där fordom, ett stort och talrikt och resligt folk, sådant som anakiterna.

11 Och likasom anakiterna räknas också de för rafaéer; men moabiterna kalla dem eméer.

12 I Seir bodde däremot fordom horéerna, men Esaus barn fördrevo dem för sig och förgjorde dem och bosatte sig på det land som Herren hade givit dem till besittning.)

13 Stån nu upp och gån över bäcken Sered.» Så gingo vi då över bäcken Sered.

14 Och den tid som åtgick för vår vandring från Kades-Barnea, till dess vi gingo över bäcken Sered. var trettioåtta år, och under denna tid förgicks hela den släktet, alla stridbara män i lägret, såsom Herren hade svurit att det skulle gå dem.

15 Ja, Herrens hand drabbade dem, och han sände förödelse i lägret bland dem och ryckte dem bort därur, så att de förgingos.

16 Då nu alla stridbara män i folket hade dött ut,

17 talade HERREN till mig och sade:

18 »Du drager nu över Moabs gräns, genom Ar,

19 och skall så komma i närheten av Ammons barn; men du må icke angripa dessa, ej heller inlåta dig i strid med dem, ty av Ammons barns land skall jag icke giva dig något till besittning, eftersom jag redan har givit det åt Lots barn till besittning.

20 (Såsom ett rafaéernas land räknas också detta; rafaéer bodde fordom där; men ammoniterna kalla dem samsummiter.

21 De voro ett stort och talrikt och resligt folk, sådant som anakiterna. Men Herren förgjorde dessa för dem; de fördrevo dem och bosatte sig i deras land.

22 På samma sätt hade han gjort för Esaus barn, som bo i Seir, i det han för dem förgjorde horéerna; de fördrevo dem och bosatte sig i deras land, där de bo ännu i dag.

23 Likaså blevo avéerna, som bodde i byar ända fram till Gasa, förgjorda av kaftoréerna, som drogo ut från Kaftor och sedan bosatte sig i deras land.)

24 Stån nu upp, bryten upp och gån över bäcken Arnon. Se, jag har givit Sihon, konungen i Hesbon, amoréen, och hans land i ditt våld. Så begynn nu att intaga det, och bekriga honom.

25 Redan i dag vill jag begynna att låta förskräckelse och fruktan för dig komma över alla folk under himmelen, så att de skola darra och bäva för dig, när de höra berättas om dig.»

26 Och jag skickade sändebud från Kedemots öken till Sihon, konungen i Hesbon, med fridsam hälsning och lät säga:

27 »Låt mig tåga genom ditt land. Raka vägen skall gå, utan att vika av vare sig till höger eller till vänster.

28 Mat att äta må du låta mig köpa för penningar; jag begär allenast att få tåga vägen fram härigenom

29 -- detsamma som tillstaddes mig av Esaus barn, Seirs inbyggare, och av moabiterna, Ars inbyggare -- så att jag kan gå över Jordan in i det land som HERREN, vår Gud, vill giva oss.»

30 Men Sihon, konungen i Hesbon, ville icke låta oss tåga genom sitt land, ty HERREN, din Gud, förhärdade hans sinne och förstockade hans hjärta, för att han skulle giva honom i din hand, såsom ock nu har skett.

31 Och Herren sade till mig: »Se, jag begynner nu att giva Sihon och hans land i ditt våld. Begynn alltså du nu att intaga det, så att du får hans land till besittning.»

32 Och Sihon drog med allt sitt folk ut till strid mot oss, till Jahas.

33 Men HERREN, vår Gud, gav honom i vårt våld, och vi slogo honom jämte hans söner och allt hans folk.

34 Och vi intogo då alla hans städer och gåvo hela den manliga stadsbefolkningen till spillo, så ock kvinnor och barn; vi läto ingen slippa undan.

35 Allenast boskapen togo vi såsom byte, jämte rovet från de städer vi intogo.

36 Från Aroer, vid bäcken Arnons strand, och från staden i dalen ända till Gilead fanns ingen stad vars murar voro för höga för oss; allasammans gav HERREN, vår Gud, i vårt våld.

37 Men Ammons barns land lät du vara, hela landsträckan utefter bäcken Jabbok, och städerna i bergsbygden, och allt övrigt varom HERREN, vår Gud, hade så bjudit.

Deuteronomy 2:4-37
King James Version

4 And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore:

5 Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession.

6 Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.

7 For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the Lord thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.

8 And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.

9 And the Lord said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession.

10 The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;

11 Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites called them Emims.

12 The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which the Lord gave unto them.

13 Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.

14 And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the Lord sware unto them.

15 For indeed the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.

16 So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,

17 That the Lord spake unto me, saying,

18 Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:

19 And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession.

20 (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;

21 A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the Lord destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:

22 As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:

23 And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)

24 Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.

25 This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.

26 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,

27 Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.

28 Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;

29 (As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the Lord our God giveth us.

30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the Lord thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.

31 And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.

32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.

33 And the Lord our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.

34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:

35 Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.

36 From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the Lord our God delivered all unto us:

37 Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the Lord our God forbad us.

4 (A)and command the people, saying, “You are going to pass through the (B)territory of your brothers the sons of Esau who live in Seir; and (C)they will be afraid of you. So be very careful; 5 do not [a]provoke them, for I will not give you any of their land, even as little as a [b]footstep (D)because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession. 6 You shall buy food from them with money so that you may eat, and you shall also bargain with them for water with money so that you may drink. 7 For Yahweh your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; He has known your [c]wanderings through this (E)great wilderness. These (F)forty years Yahweh your God has been with you; you have not lacked a thing.”’

8 “So we passed beyond our brothers the sons of Esau, who live in Seir, away from the (G)Arabah road, away from Elath and (H)from Ezion-geber. And we turned and passed through by the way of the wilderness of Moab. 9 Then Yahweh said to me, ‘Do not harass Moab, nor provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of [d]their land as a possession because I have given (I)Ar to (J)the sons of Lot as a possession.’ 10 (The (K)Emim lived there formerly, a people as great, numerous, and tall as the Anakim. 11 Like the Anakim, they are also regarded as (L)Rephaim, but the Moabites call them Emim. 12 (M)Now the Horites formerly lived in Seir, but the sons of Esau dispossessed them and destroyed them from before them and settled in their place, (N)just as Israel would do to the land of [e]their possession which Yahweh gave to them.) 13 ‘Now arise and cross over the [f]brook Zered yourselves.’ So we crossed over the [g]brook Zered. 14 Now the [h]time that it took for us to come from Kadesh-barnea until we crossed over the [i]brook Zered was (O)thirty-eight years, until (P)all the generation of the men of war came to an end from within the camp, as (Q)Yahweh had sworn to them. 15 (R)Moreover the hand of Yahweh was against them, to bring them into confusion from within the camp until they all came to an end.

16 “So it happened when (S)all the men of war had come to an end in death from among the people, 17 that Yahweh spoke to me, saying, 18 ‘Today you are about to cross over (T)Ar, the border of Moab. 19 And you will come opposite the (U)sons of Ammon. Do not harass them nor provoke them, for I will not give you any of the land of the sons of Ammon as a possession because I have given it to (V)the sons of Lot as a possession.’ 20 (It is also regarded as the land of the (W)Rephaim, for Rephaim formerly lived in it, but the Ammonites call them Zamzummin, 21 a people as great, numerous, and tall as the Anakim, but Yahweh destroyed them before them. And they dispossessed them and settled in their place, 22 just as He did for the sons of Esau, who (X)live in Seir, when He destroyed (Y)the Horites from before them; they dispossessed them and settled in their place even to this day. 23 And the (Z)Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the [j](AA)Caphtorim who came from [k](AB)Caphtor, destroyed them and lived in their place.) 24 ‘Arise, set out, and pass through the [l](AC)valley of Arnon. Look! I have given Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land into your hand; begin to take possession and provoke him to battle. 25 This day I will begin to put (AD)the dread and fear of you [m]upon the peoples [n]everywhere under the heavens, who, when they hear the report of you, (AE)will tremble and be in anguish because of you.’

26 “(AF)So I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying, 27 ‘Let me pass through your land, I will [o]go only on the highway; I will not turn aside to the right or to the left. 28 You will sell me food for money so that I may eat, and give me water for money so that I may drink; (AG)only let me pass through on [p]foot, 29 just as the sons of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in (AH)Ar did for me, until I cross over the Jordan into the land which Yahweh our God is giving to us.’ 30 But (AI)Sihon king of Heshbon was not willing for us to pass [q]through his land, for (AJ)Yahweh your God stiffened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, in order to give him over into your hand, as he is today. 31 And Yahweh said to me, ‘See, I have begun to give Sihon and his land [r]over to you. Begin to possess, so that you may fully possess his land.’

32 “Then Sihon [s]with all his people came out to meet us in battle at Jahaz. 33 (AK)But Yahweh our God gave him [t]over to us, and we (AL)struck him down with his sons and all his people. 34 So we captured all his cities at that time and [u](AM)devoted to destruction [v]the men, women, and little ones of every city. We left no survivor remaining. 35 We took (AN)only the animals as our plunder and the spoil of the cities which we had captured. 36 From (AO)Aroer which is on the edge of the [w]valley of Arnon and from the city which is in the [x]valley, even to Gilead, there was not a town that was too high for us; Yahweh our God gave all [y]over to us. 37 (AP)Only you did not go near to the land of the sons of Ammon, all along the [z]river (AQ)Jabbok and the cities of the hill country, and wherever Yahweh our God had commanded us.

Deuteronomy 2:4-37
New International Version

4 Give the people these orders:(A) ‘You are about to pass through the territory of your relatives the descendants of Esau,(B) who live in Seir.(C) They will be afraid(D) of you, but be very careful. 5 Do not provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land, not even enough to put your foot on. I have given Esau the hill country of Seir as his own.(E) 6 You are to pay them in silver for the food you eat and the water you drink.’”

7 The Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched(F) over your journey through this vast wilderness.(G) These forty years(H) the Lord your God has been with you, and you have not lacked anything.(I)

8 So we went on past our relatives the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. We turned from(J) the Arabah(K) road, which comes up from Elath and Ezion Geber,(L) and traveled along the desert road of Moab.(M)

9 Then the Lord said to me, “Do not harass the Moabites or provoke them to war, for I will not give you any part of their land. I have given Ar(N) to the descendants of Lot(O) as a possession.”

10 (The Emites(P) used to live there—a people strong and numerous, and as tall as the Anakites.(Q) 11 Like the Anakites, they too were considered Rephaites,(R) but the Moabites called them Emites. 12 Horites(S) used to live in Seir, but the descendants of Esau drove them out. They destroyed the Horites from before them and settled in their place, just as Israel did(T) in the land the Lord gave them as their possession.)

13 And the Lord said, “Now get up and cross the Zered Valley.(U)” So we crossed the valley.

14 Thirty-eight years(V) passed from the time we left Kadesh Barnea(W) until we crossed the Zered Valley. By then, that entire generation(X) of fighting men had perished from the camp, as the Lord had sworn to them.(Y) 15 The Lord’s hand was against them until he had completely eliminated(Z) them from the camp.

16 Now when the last of these fighting men among the people had died, 17 the Lord said to me, 18 “Today you are to pass by the region of Moab at Ar.(AA) 19 When you come to the Ammonites,(AB) do not harass them or provoke them to war,(AC) for I will not give you possession of any land belonging to the Ammonites. I have given it as a possession to the descendants of Lot.(AD)”

20 (That too was considered a land of the Rephaites,(AE) who used to live there; but the Ammonites called them Zamzummites. 21 They were a people strong and numerous, and as tall as the Anakites.(AF) The Lord destroyed them from before the Ammonites, who drove them out and settled in their place. 22 The Lord had done the same for the descendants of Esau, who lived in Seir,(AG) when he destroyed the Horites from before them. They drove them out and have lived in their place to this day. 23 And as for the Avvites(AH) who lived in villages as far as Gaza,(AI) the Caphtorites(AJ) coming out from Caphtor[a](AK) destroyed them and settled in their place.)

Defeat of Sihon King of Heshbon

24 “Set out now and cross the Arnon Gorge.(AL) See, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite,(AM) king of Heshbon, and his country. Begin to take possession of it and engage(AN) him in battle. 25 This very day I will begin to put the terror(AO) and fear(AP) of you on all the nations under heaven. They will hear reports of you and will tremble(AQ) and be in anguish because of you.”

26 From the Desert of Kedemoth(AR) I sent messengers to Sihon(AS) king of Heshbon offering peace(AT) and saying, 27 “Let us pass through your country. We will stay on the main road; we will not turn aside to the right or to the left.(AU) 28 Sell us food to eat(AV) and water to drink for their price in silver. Only let us pass through on foot(AW)— 29 as the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir, and the Moabites, who live in Ar, did for us—until we cross the Jordan into the land the Lord our God is giving us.” 30 But Sihon king of Heshbon refused to let us pass through. For the Lord(AX) your God had made his spirit stubborn(AY) and his heart obstinate(AZ) in order to give him into your hands,(BA) as he has now done.

31 The Lord said to me, “See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his country over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land.”(BB)

32 When Sihon and all his army came out to meet us in battle(BC) at Jahaz, 33 the Lord our God delivered(BD) him over to us and we struck him down,(BE) together with his sons and his whole army. 34 At that time we took all his towns and completely destroyed[b](BF) them—men, women and children. We left no survivors. 35 But the livestock(BG) and the plunder(BH) from the towns we had captured we carried off for ourselves. 36 From Aroer(BI) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the gorge, even as far as Gilead,(BJ) not one town was too strong for us. The Lord our God gave(BK) us all of them. 37 But in accordance with the command of the Lord our God,(BL) you did not encroach on any of the land of the Ammonites,(BM) neither the land along the course of the Jabbok(BN) nor that around the towns in the hills.
