Første Krønikebog 14
1 Og Hiram, Kongen af Tyrus, sendte Bud til David med Cedertræ og Murmestre og Tømmermestre for at bygge ham et Hus.
Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, carpenters, and masons. They built a house for him.
2 Og David fornam, at Herren havde stadfæstet ham til Konge over Israel; thi hans Rige blev overmaade ophøjet for hans Folks Israels Skyld.
David knew that Yahweh had established him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted on high for the sake of his people Israel.
3 Og David tog endnu Hustruer i Jerusalem, og David avlede endnu Sønner og Døtre.
In Jerusalem, David took more wives, and he became the father of more sons and daughters.
4 Og disse vare deres Navne, som bleve ham fødte i Jerusalem: Sammua og Sobab, Nathan og Salomo
These were the names of the children who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
5 og Jibkar og Elisua og Elifelet
Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
6 og Noga og Nefeg og Jafla
Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
7 og Elisama og Beeljada og Elifelet.
Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 Og der Filisterne hørte, at David var salvet til Konge over hele Israel, da droge alle Filisterne op for at søge efter David; der David hørte det, da drog han ud imod dem.
Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel, they all went out looking for him. But David heard about it and went out against them.
9 Og Filisterne kom og udbredte sig i Refaims Dal.
Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the Valley of Rephaim.
10 Og David spurgte Gud ad og sagde: Skal jeg drage op imod Filisterne? og vil du give dem i min Haand? Og Herren sagde til ham: Drag op, thi jeg vil give dem i din Haand.
Then David asked for help from God. He said, “Should I attack the Philistines? Will you give victory over them?” Yahweh said to him, “Attack, for I will certainly give them to you.”
11 Og der de droge op til Baal-Perazim, da slog David dem der, og David sagde: Gud har brudt igennem mine Fjender ved min Haand, ligesom Vandet bryder igennem; derfor kaldte man det samme Steds Navn Baal-Perazim.
So they came up to Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He commented, “God has burst through my enemies by my hand like a bursting flood of water.” So the name of that place became Baal Perazim.
12 Og de efterlode deres Guder der; og David bød, og de bleve opbrændte med Ild.
The Philistines abandoned their gods there, and David gave an order that they should be burned.
13 Og Filisterne bleve endnu ved og udbredte sig i Dalen.
Then the Philistines raided the valley yet again.
14 Og David adspurgte Gud ydermere, og Gud sagde til ham: Du skal ikke drage op efter dem, men vend dig fra dem, at du kan komme til dem tværs over for Morbærtræerne.
So David asked for help from God again. God said to him, “You must not attack their front, but rather circle around behind them and come on them through the balsam woods.
15 Og det skal ske, naar du hører en Lyd af en Skriden hen over Morbærtræernes Toppe, da skal du drage ud til Striden; thi Gud er udgangen for dit Ansigt at slaa Filisternes Lejr.
When you hear the sound of marching in the wind blowing through the balsam treetops, then attack with force. Do this because God will have gone out before you to attack the army of the Philistines.”
16 Og David gjorde, som Gud havde befalet ham, og de sloge Filisternes Lejr fra Gibeon og indtil Geser.
So David did as God had commanded him. He defeated the army of the Philistines from Gibeon all the way to Gezer.
17 Og Davids Navn kom ud i alle Landene, og Herren lod Frygt for ham komme over alle Hedninger.
Then David's fame went out into all lands, and Yahweh caused all nations to fear him.
