Første Krønikebog 12

1 Og disse ere de, som kom til David i Ziklag, der han endnu maatte holde sig inde for Sauls, Kis's Søns, Ansigt; og de vare iblandt de vældige, som hjalp i Krigen;

Also, these went to David at Ziklag, while he was still fleeing from Saul, the son of Kish. And they were very strong and distinguished fighters,

2 de vare rustede med Bue, kastede med Stene med højre og venstre Haand og skøde Pile med Buen; de vare af Sauls Brødre, af Benjamin.

bending the bow, and using either hand in casting stones with slings, and shooting arrows. From the brothers of Saul, out of Benjamin:

3 Ahieser var den ypperste, og Joas, Gibeathiten Semajas Sønner, og Jesiel og Peleth, Asmaveths Sønner, og Beraka og Jehu, Anathothiten.

the leader was Ahiezer, with Joash, sons of Shemaah from Gibeah, and Jeziel and Pelet, sons of Azmaveth, and Beracah and Jehu, from Anathoth.

4 Og Jismaja, Gibeoniten, var vældig iblandt de tredive og sat over de tredive, og Jeremia og Jahasiel og Johanan og Josabad, Gederathiten,

Also, there was Ishmaiah, from Gibeon, the strongest among the thirty and over the thirty; Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Jozabad, from Gederah;

5 Elusaj og Jerimoth og Bealja og Semarja og Safatja, Harufiten,

and Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah, the Haruphites;

6 Elkana og Jisija og Asareel og Joeser og Jasobeam, Koriterne,

Elkanah, and Isshiah, and Azarel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, from Carehim;

7 og Joela, og Sebadja, Jerohams Sønner, af Gedor.

and also Joelah and Zebadiah, sons of Jeroham, from Gedor.

8 Og af Gaditerne gik nogle over til David til Befæstningen i Ørken, vældige til Strid, Stridsmænd til Krigen, rustede med Skjold og Spyd; og deres Ansigter vare som Løvers Ansigter, og de vare snare til at løbe som Raadyr paa Bjergene.

Then too, from Gad, there went over to David, when he was hiding in the desert, very robust men, who were excellent fighters, taking hold of shield and spear; their faces were like the faces of a lion, and they were swift like the roe deer upon the mountains.

9 Eser var den første, Obadja den anden, Eliab den tredje,

Ezer was the leader, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,

10 Mismanna den fjerde, Jeremia den femte,

Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

11 Athaj den sjette, Eliel den syvende,

Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

12 Johanan den ottende, Elisabad den niende,

Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,

13 Jeremias den tiende, Makbannaj den ellevte.

Jeremiah the tenth, Machbannai the eleventh.

14 Disse vare af Gads Børn, Øverster for Hæren; den ringeste af dem var mere end hundrede, og den største mere end tusinde.

These were from the sons of Gad, leaders of the army. The least was in charge of one hundred soldiers, and the greatest was in charge of one thousand.

15 Disse ere de, som gik over Jordanen i den første Maaned, da den var fuld over alle sine Bredder; og de dreve alle Dalenes Indbyggere paa Flugt imod Østen og imod Vesten.

These are the ones who crossed over the Jordan in the first month, when it is accustomed to overflow its banks. And they put to flight all those who were staying in the valleys, to the eastern region and to the west.

16 Der kom og af Benjamins og Judas Børn til Befæstningen til David.

Then some from Benjamin and from Judah also arrived at the stronghold where David was staying.

17 Og David gik ud til dem og svarede og sagde til dem: Dersom I komme med Fred til mig for at hjælpe mig, da skal mit Hjerte være forenet med eder; men dersom I komme for at bedrage mig og overgive mig til mine Fjender, enddog der ingen Uret er i mine Hænder, da se vore Fædres Gud til og straffe det!

And David went out to meet them, and he said: “If you have arrived peacefully, so as to be a help to me, may my heart be joined to you; but if to betray me to my adversaries, though I have no iniquity in my hands, may the God of our fathers see and judge.”

18 Og Aanden iførte sig Amasaj, den øverste af Høvedsmændene, og han sagde: Dig, David, tilhøre vi, og med dig, du Isajs Søn, ere vi; Fred, ja Fred være med dig og Fred med dem, som hjælpe dig! thi din Gud hjælper dig. Da tog David imod dem og satte dem til Øverster for Troppen.

Truly, the Spirit clothed Amasai, the leader among the thirty, and he said: “O David, we are yours! O son of Jesse, we are for you! Peace, peace to you, and peace to your helpers. For your God helps you.” Therefore, David received them, and he appointed them as leaders of troops.

19 Og af Manasse vare nogle gaaede over til David, der han kom med Filisterne imod Saul til Krig, dog uden at hjælpe dem; thi Filisternes Fyrster lode ham fare efter en Raadslagning og sagde: Om han gik over til sin Herre Saul, maatte det koste os vore Hoveder.

Moreover, some from Manasseh crossed over to David, when he went forth with the Philistines against Saul, so that he might fight. But he did not fight with them. For the leaders of the Philistines, taking counsel, sent him back, saying, “To the peril of our own heads, he will return to his lord, Saul.”

20 Der han drog til Ziklag, gik over til ham af Manasse: Adna og Josabad og Jediael og Mikael og Josabad og Elihu og Zilthaj, Øverster over de tusinde, som hørte til Manasse.

And so, when he returned to Ziklag, some fled over to him from Manasseh: Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Adnah, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillethai, leaders of thousands in Manasseh.

21 Og de hjalp David imod Krigsfolkene, thi de vare alle vældige til Strid, og de bleve Høvedsmænd for Hæren.

These offered assistance to David against the robbers. For all were very strong men, and they became leaders in the army.

22 Thi der kom til den Tid daglig nogle til David for at hjælpe ham, indtil det blev til en stor Lejr, som Guds Lejr.

Then, too, some came to David throughout each day, in order to help him, until they became a great number, like the army of God.

23 Og dette er Tallet paa de Øverster over dem, som vare bevæbnede til Striden, de, som kom til David i Hebron for at skaffe ham Sauls Rige efter Herrens Mund:

Now this is the number of the leaders of the army who went to David when he was at Hebron, so that they might transfer the kingdom of Saul to him, in accord with the word of the Lord:

24 Judas Børn, som bare Skjold og Spyd, vare seks Tusinde og otte Hundrede, bevæbnede til Strid;

the sons of Judah, carrying shield and spear, six thousand eight hundred, equipped for battle;

25 af Simeons Børn, vældige til Strid, til Hæren, syv Tusinde og hundrede;

from the sons of Simeon, very strong men for the fight, seven thousand one hundred;

26 af Levis Børn, fire Tusinde og seks Hundrede.

from the sons of Levi, four thousand six hundred;

27 Og Jojada var en Fyrste for Arons Børn, og der var tre Tusinde og syv Hundrede med ham.

as well as Jehoiada, a leader from the stock of Aaron, and with him three thousand seven hundred;

28 Og Zadok var en ung Mand, vældig til Strid, og af hans Faders Hus vare to og tyve Høvedsmænd;

and then Zadok, a youth of distinguished qualities, and the house of his father, twenty-two leaders;

29 og af Benjamins Børn, Sauls Brødre, tre Tusinde; thi hidindtil havde den største Del af dem taget Vare paa, hvad der var at varetage i Sauls Hus.

and from the sons of Benjamin, brothers of Saul, three thousand, for still a great part of them were following the house of Saul.

30 Og af Efraims Børn tyve Tusinde og otte Hundrede, vældige til Strid, navnkundige Mænd i deres Fædres Hus;

Then from the sons of Ephraim, there were twenty thousand eight hundred, very strong and robust men, renowned among their kindred.

31 og af den halve Manasses Stamme atten Tusinde, som vare nævnede ved Navn, for at komme at gøre David til Konge.

And out of the one half tribe of Manasseh, eighteen thousand, each by their names, went forth so that they might appoint David as king.

32 Og af Isaskars Børn, som vare kyndige og forstandige paa Tiderne, saa at de vidste, hvad Israel skulde gøre, var der to Hundrede Øverster, og alle deres Brødre fulgte deres Ord.

Also, from the sons of Issachar, there were learned men, who knew each of the times, in order to anticipate what Israel ought to do, two hundred leaders. And all the remainder of the tribe were following their counsel.

33 Af Sebulon, som droge ud til Strid, rustede til Krig med alle Haande Krigsvaaben, halvtredsindstyve Tusinde, og de stillede sig i Slagorden uden tvedelt Hjerte;

Then, from Zebulun, there were those who went forth to battle, and who were standing in a battle line, prepared with the weapons of warfare; these fifty thousand arrived to assist, without duplicity of heart.

34 og at Nafthali tusinde Høvedsmænd og med dem syv og tredive Tusinde, som førte Skjold og Spyd;

And from Naphtali, there were one thousand leaders; and with them were thirty-seven thousand, prepared with shield and spear.

35 og af Daniterne rustede til Krig otte og tyve Tusinde og seks Hundrede;

And then from Dan, there were twenty-eight thousand six hundred, ready for battle.

36 og af Aser, som droge ud til Strid, at ruste sig til Krig, fyrretyve Tusinde;

And from Asher, there were forty thousand, going forth to fight, and summoned to the battle line.

37 og af dem paa hin Side Jordanen, af Rubeniterne og Gaditerne og den halve Manasses Stamme, med alle Haande Stridsvaaben til Krig, hundrede og tyve Tusinde.

Then, across the Jordan, there were, from the sons of Reuben, and from Gad, and from the one half tribe of Manasseh, one hundred twenty thousand, prepared with the weapons of warfare.

38 Alle disse Krigsmænd, som stillede sig i Slagorden, kom med et retskaffent Hjerte til Hebron, at gøre David til Konge over hele Israel; og alle de øvrige af Israel havde ogsaa eet Hjerte til at gøre David til Konge.

All these men of war, equipped for the fight, went with a perfect heart to Hebron, so that they might appoint David as king over all of Israel. Then, too, all the remainder of Israel were of one heart, so that they might make David king.

39 Og de vare der hos David i tre Dage, aade og drak; thi deres Brødre havde beredt Mad for dem.

And they were in that place with David for three days, eating and drinking. For their brothers had made preparations for them.

40 Ogsaa de, som vare nær hos dem indtil Isaskar og Sebulon og Nafthali, førte Brød paa Asenerne og paa Kamelerne og paa Mulerne og paa Øksnene, Spise af Mel, Figenkager og Klaser Rosiner og Vin og Olie og Øksne og Faar i Mangfoldighed; thi der var Glæde i Israel.

Moreover, those who were near to them, even as far as Issachar, and Zebulun, and Naphtali, were bringing, on donkeys and camels and mules and oxen, bread for their provisions, with grain, dried figs, dried grapes, wine, oil, and oxen and sheep, with all abundance. For indeed, there was joy in Israel.
