1 Samuel 17
1 Og Filisterne havde samlet deres Lejre til Krigen og samlede sig i Soko, som er i Juda; og de lejrede sig imellem Soko og imellem Aseka ved Efes-Dammim.
Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle; and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and camped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes Dammim.
2 Og Saul og Israels Mænd samledes og lejrede sig i Egens Dal, og de stillede sig op til Slag imod Filisterne.
Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and camped in the Valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
3 Og Filisterne stode paa Bjerget paa hin Side, og Israeliterne stode paa Bjerget paa denne Side, og Dalen var imellem dem.
The Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
4 Da udgik en Kæmper af Filisternes Lejre, hans Navn var Goliath af Gath, han var seks Alen og en Haandbred høj.
There went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six feet eight inches.
5 Og der var en Kobberhjelm paa hans Hoved, og han var iført en Skælbrynje, og Brynjens Vægt var fem Tusinde Sekel Kobber.
And he had a helmet on his head, and wore bronze scale-armor. And the weight of the bronze armor was five thousand shekels.
6 Og han havde Kobberskinner over sine Fødder, og et Kobberkastespyd imellem sine Skuldre.
And he had bronze armor on his shins, and a bronze javelin was slung over his shoulders.
7 Og hans Spydstage var som en Væverstang, og Bladet paa hans Spyd var seks Hundrede Sekel Jern; og Skjolddrageren gik frem for hans Ansigt.
Now the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and its blade weighed six hundred iron shekels, and his shield bearer went in front of him.
8 Og han stod og raabte til Israels Slagordener og sagde til dem: Hvorfor droge I ud at stille eder op til Slag? er jeg ikke en Filister og I Sauls Tjenere? udvælger eder en Mand, at han kommer ned til mig.
He stood and shouted to the armies of Israel, and said to them, "Why have you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.
9 Dersom han kan stride med mig, og han slaar mig, da ville vi være eders Tjenere; men dersom jeg kan faa Magt over ham og slaar ham, da skulle I være vore Tjenere og tjene os.
If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants; but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then you will be our servants, and serve us."
10 Fremdeles sagde Filisteren: Jeg har forhaanet Israels Slagordener paa denne Dag; giver mig en Mand, saa ville vi stride sammen.
The Philistine said, "I defy the armies of Israel this day. Give me a man, that we may fight together."
11 Der Saul og al Israel hørte disse Filisternes Ord, da bleve de forfærdede, og de frygtede saare.
When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
12 Men David var hin efratitiske Mands Søn fra Bethlehem i Juda, hvis Navn var Isai og, som havde otte Sønner; og Manden var gammel i Sauls Dage og kommen til Aars iblandt Mændene.
Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem in Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons. And in the days of Saul the man was old and advanced in years.
13 Og de tre ældste Isais Sønner vare gangne med Saul i Krigen; men hans tre Sønners Navne, som vare gangne i Krigen, vare Eliab den førstefødte, og Abinadab den næstældste, og Samma den tredje.
The three eldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle. And the names of his sons who went to the battle were Eliab, the firstborn, and Abinadab, the second, and Shimeah, the third.
14 Men David var den yngste, og de tre ældste vare gangne med Saul.
David was the youngest; and the three eldest followed Saul.
15 Og David var gaaet og vendt tilbage fra Saul at vogte sin Faders Smaakvæg i Bethlehem.
Now David went back and forth from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.
16 Og Filisteren kom frem om Morgenen og om Aftenen og stillede sig frem i fyrretyve Dage.
The Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
17 Og Isai sagde til David, sin Søn: Kære, tag til dine Brødre denne Efa ristede Aks og disse ti Brød og løb til Lejren til dine Brødre.
Then Jesse said to David, "Now take for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp and give them to your brothers;
18 Men disse ti ferske Oste skal du bringe til Høvedsmanden over de tusinde; og du skal se til dine Brødre, om det gaar dem vel, og du skal medtage et Pant fra dem.
and bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers are doing, and bring back news."
19 Og Saul og de og alle Israels Mænd vare i Egens Dal for at stride imod Filisterne.
Now Saul and they and all the men of Israel were in the Valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
20 Da stod David tidlig op om Morgenen og overlod Smaakvæget til en Vogter, og han tog hine Sager og gik, saaledes som Isai havde befalet ham; og han kom til Vognborgen, og Hæren var uddragen i Slagordenen, og de havde raabt ud til Slag.
So David arose early in the morning and left the flock with a keeper and took and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the perimeter of the camp as the army was marching out to its battle formation and shouting the war cry.
21 Og Israel havde stillet sig op imod Filisterne, Slagorden imod Slagorden.
And Israel and the Philistines lined up in battle formation, army against army.
22 Da gav David sit Tøj fra sig til ham, som forvarede Tøjet, og løb hen til Slagordenen; og han kom og spurgte til sine Brødres Velgaaende.
And David left his supplies in the care of the attendant, and ran to the army and came and greeted his brothers.
23 Og der han talede med dem, se, da kom hin Kæmper, hvis Navn var Goliath, Filisteren af Gath, op fra Filisternes Slagordener, og talede de samme Ord; og David hørte det.
As he talked with them, look, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words: and David heard them.
24 Men hver Mand af Israel, naar de saa Manden, da flyede de for ham og frygtede saare.
All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were terrified.
25 Og hver Mand af Israel sagde: Have I set denne Mand, som kommer op? thi han kommer op for at forhaane Israel; og det skal ske, den Mand, som slaar ham, vil Kongen berige med stor Rigdom og give ham sin Datter og vil gøre hans Faders Hus frit i Israel.
The men of Israel said, "Have you seen this man who has come up? He has surely come up to defy Israel. It shall be, that the man who kills him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house exempt in Israel."
26 Da sagde David til Mændene, som stode hos ham: Hvad skal der gøres ved den Mand, som slaar denne Filister og borttager Forhaanelsen fra Israel? thi hvo er denne uomskaarne Filister, at han forhaaner den levende Guds Slagordener?
David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, "What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine, and takes away this disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?"
27 Da sagde Folket til ham de samme Ord: Saaledes skal der gøres ved den Mand, som slaar ham.
The people answered him in this way, saying, "So shall it be done to the man who kills him."
28 Og hans ældste Broder Eliab hørte, der han talede til Mændene; og Eliabs Vrede optændtes imod David, og han sagde: Hvorfor kom du herned? og hvem overlod du det lidet Smaakvæg i Ørken? jeg kender din Hovmodighed og dit Hjertes Ondskab, thi du er kommen herned for at se Krigen.
Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, "Why have you come down? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your insolence and the wickedness of your heart; for you have come down that you might see the battle."
29 Da sagde David: Hvad har jeg nu gjort? det er jo kun et Ord.
David said, "What have I now done? Is there not a cause?"
30 Og han vendte sig omkring fra ham hen til en anden og sagde de samme Ord; og Folket gav ham Svar igen som forrige Gang.
Then he turned away from him toward another, and spoke in the same way, and they gave him an answer as before.
31 Og de Ord bleve hørte, som David sagde, og man gav Saul dem til Kende, og han lod ham hente.
When the words that David spoke were overheard, they repeated them before Saul; and he sent for him.
32 Og David sagde til Saul: Intet Menneskes Hjerte blive mistrøstigt for hans Skyld; din Tjener skal gaa og stride med denne Filister.
David said to Saul, "Let not my lord's heart fail because of him. Your servant will go and fight with this Philistine."
33 Og Saul sagde til David: Du kan ikke gaa hen til denne Filister for at stride med ham; thi du er en ung Person, men han er en Krigsmand fra sin Ungdom af.
Saul said to David, "You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth."
34 Da sagde David til Saul: Din Tjener var sin Faders Hyrde hos Smaakvæget, og en Løve kom og en Bjørn og borttog et Lam af Hjorden.
David said to Saul, "Your servant was keeping his father's sheep; and when a lion or a bear came, and took a lamb out of the flock,
35 Og jeg gik ud efter den og slog den og reddede det af dens Mund; og den rejste sig imod mig, men jeg holdt fast ved dens Skæg og slog den og dræbte den.
I went out after him, and struck him, and rescued it out of his mouth. When he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and struck him, and killed him.
36 Baade Løven og Bjørnen har din Tjener slaget; og denne uomskaarne Filister skal vorde som en af dem, thi han har forhaanet den levende Guds Slagordener.
Your servant struck both the lion and the bear, and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them. Should I not go and smite him, and remove this day a disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised one, since he has defied the armies of the living God?
37 Fremdeles sagde David: Herren, som friede mig fra Løvens Vold og fra Bjørnens Vold, han skal fri mig fra denne Filisters Haand; da sagde Saul til David: Gak, og Herren skal være med dig.
The LORD who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine." Saul said to David, "Go; and the LORD shall be with you."
38 Og Saul iførte David sine Klæder og satte en Kobberhjelm paa hans Hoved og gav ham en Brynje paa.
And he dressed David in a uniform with a bronze helmet on his head, and he clothed him with a coat of armor.
39 Og David bandt hans Sværd oven over sine Klæder og begyndte at gaa, thi han havde ikke forsøgt det; da sagde David til Saul: Jeg kan ikke gaa i dem, thi jeg har ikke forsøgt det; og David lagde dem bort fra sig.
And David strapped on his sword over his uniform, and after he had tried once or twice to walk, then David said to Saul, "I can't walk with these, for I am not used to them." So they took them off him.
40 Og han tog sin Kæp i sin Haand og udvalgte sig fem glatte Stene af Bækken og lagde dem i Hyrdeposen, som han havde, nemlig i Tasken, og havde sin Slynge i sin Haand og gik frem imod Filisteren.
Then he took his staff in his hand and chose for himself five smooth stones from the wadi, and put them in the shepherd's bag, in the pouch. And his sling was in his hand, and he approached the Philistine.
41 Og Filisteren gik fluks og kom nær til David; og Skjolddrageren gik frem for hans Ansigt.
So the Philistine moved forward and came near to David, and his shield-bearer was in front of him.
42 Der Filisteren saa op og saa David, da foragtede han ham; thi han var en ung Person, rødmusset, dejlig af Anseelse.
When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him, for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and handsome in appearance.
43 Og Filisteren sagde til David: Er jeg en Hund, at du kommer til mig med Kæppe? og Filisteren bandede David ved sine Guder.
The Philistine said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come to me with a stick and stones?" And David said, "No, worse than a dog." And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44 Og Filisteren sagde til David: Kom hid til mig, saa vil jeg give Fuglene under Himmelen og Dyrene paa Marken dit Kød.
The Philistine said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky, and to the animals of the field."
45 Men David sagde til Filisteren: Du kommer til mig med Sværd og med Lanse og med Kastespyd; men jeg kommer til dig i Herren Zebaoths Navn, han som er Israels Slagordeners Gud, hvilken du har forhaanet.
Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin: but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
46 Paa denne Dag skal Herren overantvorde dig i min Haand, og jeg skal slaa dig og afhugge dit Hoved og give de døde Kroppe i Filisternes Lejr paa denne Dag til Fuglene under Himmelen og til vilde Dyr paa Jorden, at alt Landet skal vide, at der er en Gud i Israel.
Today, the LORD will deliver you into my hand; and I will strike you, and take your head from off you. And I will give your corpse and the corpses of the Philistine army this very day to the birds of the air, and to the wild animals of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,
47 Og hele denne Forsamling skal vide, at Herren ikke frelser ved Sværd eller ved Spyd; thi Krigen er Herrens, og han skal give eder i vor Haand.
and that all this assembly may know that the LORD doesn't save with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hand."
48 Og det skete, der Filisteren stod op og gik og kom nær imod David, da skyndte David sig og løb hen imod Slagordenen, Filisteren i Møde.
It happened, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
49 Og David stak sin Haand i Posen og tog en Sten deraf og slog med Slyngen og traf Filisteren i hans Pande, saa at Stenen fæstedes dybt i hans Pande, og at han faldt paa sit Ansigt til Jorden.
David put his hand in his bag, took a stone, and slung it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground.
50 Og David blev ved Slyngen og ved Stenen Filisteren overlegen og slog Filisteren og dræbte ham, og David havde ikke Sværd i Haanden.
So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine, and killed him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
51 Og David løb hen og stod hos Filisteren og tog hans Sværd og drog det af Balgen og slog ham ihjel og afhuggede hans Hoved dermed; der Filisterne saa, at den vældige iblandt dem var død, da flyede de.
Then David ran and stood beside him, and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
52 Da gjorde Israels og Judas Mænd sig rede og raabte og forfulgte Filisterne, indtil man kommer til Dalen, ja indtil Ekrons Porte; og Filisterne, som bleve ihjelslagne, faldt paa Vejen til Saarajim og indtil Gath og indtil Ekron.
The men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued them as far as Gath, and to the gates of Ekron. The wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron.
53 Derefter vendte Israels Børn om fra at jage efter Filisterne, og de plyndrede deres Lejr.
The children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.
54 Men David tog Filisterens Hoved og førte det til Jerusalem og lagde hans Vaaben i sit Telt.
David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor in his tent.
55 Men der Saul saa David, da han gik ud imod Filisteren, sagde han til Abner, Stridshøvedsmanden: Hvis Søn er denne unge Karl, Abner? Og Abner sagde: Saa vist som din Sjæl lever, o Konge! jeg ved det ikke.
When Saul saw David go out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, "Whose son is that boy?" And Abner said, "As your soul lives, O king, I don't know."
56 Og Kongen sagde: Spørg du, hvis Søn denne unge Karl er!
The king said, "Inquire whose son that young man is."
57 Og der David kom tilbage, der han havde slaget Filisteren, da tog Abner ham og ledte ham ind for Sauls Ansigt; og han havde Filisterens Hoved i sin Haand.
As David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
58 Og Saul sagde til ham: Hvis Søn er du, unge Karl? Og David sagde: Jeg er Bethlehemiteren Isais, din Tjeners, Søn.
Saul said to him, "Whose son are you, young man?" David answered, "I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite."
