                                    1 Josua, Nuns Søn, udsendte hemmeligt fra Sjittim to Mænd som Spejdere med den Befaling: "Gå hen og undersøg Landet, særlig Jeriko!" De gav sig da på Vej og kom ind i et Hus til en Skøge ved Navn Rahab, og der lagde de sig til Hvile.                                

                                    1 Then Joshua the son of Nun sent two men as spies secretly from Shittim, saying, “Go, view the land, especially Jericho.” So they went and came into the house of a harlot whose name was Rahab, and lodged there.

                                    2 Da blev der meldt Kongen af Jeriko: "Se, der er kommet nogle israelitiske Mænd hertil i Nat for at udspejde Landet!"                                

                                    2 It was told the king of Jericho, saying, “Behold, men from the sons of Israel have come here tonight to search out the land.”

                                    3 Og Kongen af Jeriko sendte Bud til Rahab og lod sige: "Udlever de Mænd, som er kommet til dig; thi de er kommet for at udspejde hele Landet!"                                

                                    3 And the king of Jericho sent word to Rahab, saying, “Bring out the men who have come to you, who have entered your house, for they have come to search out all the land.”

                                    4 Men Kvinden tog og skjulte de to Mænd og sagde: "Ja, Mændene kom ganske vist til mig, men jeg vidste ikke, hvor de var fra;                                

                                    4 But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them, and she said, “Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from.

                                    5 og da Porten skulde lukkes i Mørkningen, gik Mændene bort. Jeg ved ikke, hvor de gik hen! Sæt hurtigt efter dem, så kan I indhente dem!"                                

                                    5 It came about when it was time to shut the gate at dark, that the men went out; I do not know where the men went. Pursue them quickly, for you will overtake them.”

                                    6 Men hun havde ført dem op på Taget og skjult dem under Hørstænglerne, som hun havde bredt ud på Taget.                                

                                    6 But she had brought them up to the roof and hidden them in the stalks of flax which she had laid in order on the roof.

                                    7 Mændene satte så efter dem ad Vejen til Jordan hen til Vadestederne, og Porten blev lukket, så snart Forfølgerne var udenfor.                                

                                    7 So the men pursued them on the road to the Jordan to the fords; and as soon as those who were pursuing them had gone out, they shut the gate.

                                    8 Før de to Mænd endnu havde lagt sig, kom hun op på Taget til dem;                                

                                    8 Now before they lay down, she came up to them on the roof,

                                    9 og hun sagde til dem: "Jeg ved, at HERREN har givet eder Landet, thi vi er grebet af Rædsel for eder, og alle Landets Indbyggere er skrækslagne over eder.                                

                                    9 and said to the men, “I know that the Lord has given you the land, and that the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have melted away before you.

                                    10 Thi vi har hørt, hvorledes HERREN lod Vandet i det røde Hav tørre bort foran eder, da I drog ud af Ægypten, og hvad I gjorde ved de to Amoriterkonger hinsides Jordan, Sihon og Og, på hvem I lagde Band.                                

                                    10 For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.

                                    11 Da vi hørte det, blev vi slaget af Rædsel og tabte alle Modet over for eder; thi HERREN eders Gud er Gud oppe i Himmelen og nede på Jorden.                                

                                    11 When we heard it, our hearts melted and no courage remained in any man any longer because of you; for the Lord your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath.

                                    12 Men tilsværg mig nu ved HERREN, at I vil vise Godhed mod mit Fædrene hus, ligesom jeg har vist Godhed mod eder, og giv mig et sikkert Tegn på,                                

                                    12 Now therefore, please swear to me by the Lord, since I have dealt kindly with you, that you also will deal kindly with my father’s household, and give me a pledge of truth,

                                    13 at I vil lade min Fader og Moder, mine Brødre og Søstre og alt, hvad deres er, blive i Live og redde os fra Døden!"                                

                                    13 and spare my father and my mother and my brothers and my sisters, with all who belong to them, and deliver our lives from death.”

                                    14 Da sagde Mændene til hende: "Vi indestår med vort Liv for eder, hvis du ikke røber vort Forehavende; og når HERREN giver os Landet, vil vi vise dig Godhed og Trofasthed!"                                

                                    14 So the men said to her, “Our life for yours if you do not tell this business of ours; and it shall come about when the Lord gives us the land that we will deal kindly and faithfully with you.”

                                    15 Derpå hejsede hun dem med et Reb ned gennem Vinduet, thi hendes Hus lå ved Bymuren, og hun boede ved Muren;                                

                                    15 Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was on the city wall, so that she was living on the wall.

                                    16 og hun sagde til dem: "Gå ud i Bjergene, for at eders Forfølgere ikke skal træffe eder, og hold eder skjult der i tre Dage, indtil eders Forfølgere er vendt tilbage; efter den Tid kan I gå eders Vej!"                                

                                    16 She said to them, “Go to the hill country, so that the pursuers will not happen upon you, and hide yourselves there for three days until the pursuers return. Then afterward you may go on your way.”
