1 Samuel 19
1 Og Saul talede til Jonathan, sin Søn, og til alle sine Tjenere, at de skulle slaa David ihjel; men Jonathan, Sauls Søn, fandt stort Behag i David.
And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David.
2 Og Jonathan forkyndte David det og sagde: Min Fader Saul søger efter at slaa dig ihjel; saa var dig nu, kære, i Morgen, og bliv i Skjul og hold dig gemt!
But Jonathan Saul’s son delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeks to kill you: now therefore, I pray you, take heed to yourself until the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide yourself:
3 Og jeg vil gaa ud og staa ved min Faders Side paa Marken, hvor du er, og jeg vil tale med min Fader om dig, og naar jeg har set, hvad det er, da vil jeg kundgøre dig det.
And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will commune with my father of you; and what I see, that I will tell you.
4 Saa talede Jonathan godt om David til Saul sin Fader, og sagde til ham: Kongen synde ikke imod sin Tjener, imod David, thi han har ikke syndet imod dig, saa ere og hans Gerninger dig meget gode.
And Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been to you-ward very good:
5 Thi han har sat sit Liv i sin Haand og slaget Filisteren, og Herren beredte en stor Frelse for al Israel, det har du set og glædedes derved; og hvorfor vil du synde imod uskyldigt Blod ved at ihjelslaa David uforskyldt?
For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great salvation for all Israel: you saw it, and did rejoice: why then will you sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?
6 Da adlød Saul Jonathans Røst, og Saul svor; Saa vist som Herren lever, han skal ikke dødes.
And Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, As the LORD lives, he shall not be slain.
7 Og Jonathan kaldte ad David, og Jonathan gav ham alle disse Ord til Kende; og Jonathan førte David til Saul, og han var for hans Ansigt som tilforn.
And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.
8 Og Krigen varede ved; og David drog ud og stred mod Filisterne og slog dem med et stort Slag, og de flyede for hans Ansigt.
And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled from him.
9 Og den onde Aand fra Herren kom paa Saul, og han sad i sit Hus og havde sit Spyd i sin Haand, og David legede paa Strenge med Haanden.
And the evil spirit from the LORD was on Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand.
10 Og Saul søgte efter at stikke Spydet igennem David ind i Væggen; men denne gik bort fra Sauls Ansigt; og han stak Spydet i Væggen; saa flyede David og undkom den samme Nat.
And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin: but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.
11 Og Saul sendte Bud til Davids Hus for at vare paa ham og at slaa ham ihjel om Morgenen; men Mikal, hans Hustru, forkyndte David det og sagde: Dersom du ikke redder dit Liv i Nat, bliver du dræbt i Morgen.
Saul also sent messengers to David’s house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David’s wife told him, saying, If you save not your life to night, to morrow you shall be slain.
12 Saa lod Mikal David ned igennem et Vindue, og han gik og flyede og undkom.
So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
13 Og Mikal tog Gudebilledet og lagde det i Sengen og lagde et Gedeskind under dets Hoved og bedækkede det med et Klæde.
And Michal took an image, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ hair for his bolster, and covered it with a cloth.
14 Da sendte Saul Bud for at lade David hente, og hun sagde: Han er syg.
And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.
15 Saa sendte Saul Bud hen at se David og sagde: Bærer ham op til mig i Sengen, at man kan slaa ham ihjel.
And Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.
16 Og Budene kom, og se, Gudebilledet laa i Sengen, og Gedeskindet under dets Hoved.
And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats’ hair for his bolster.
17 Da sagde Saul til Mikal: Hvorfor bedrog du mig saa og lod min Fjende fare, at han undkom? Og Mikal sagde til Saul: Han sagde til mig: Lad mig gaa, hvorfor skulde jeg slaa dig ihjel?
And Saul said to Michal, Why have you deceived me so, and sent away my enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said to me, Let me go; why should I kill you?
18 Og David flyede og undkom og kom til Samuel i Rama og gav ham alt det til Kende, som Saul havde gjort ham; og han og Samuel gik hen, og de bleve i Najoth.
So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelled in Naioth.
19 Og det blev Saul tilkendegivet, og der sagdes: Se, David er i Najoth i Rama.
And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.
20 Da sendte Saul Bud, at de skulde hente David, og de saa en Forsamling af Profeter, som profeterede, og Samuel, som var sat over dem, stod hos; og Guds Aand kom over Sauls Bud, saa at ogsaa de profeterede.
And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was on the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
21 Der de gave Saul det til Kende, da sendte han andre Bud, og de profeterede ogsaa; og Saul sendte ydermere tredje Gang Bud, og de profeterede ogsaa.
And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.
22 Siden gik han selv til Rama, og der han kom til den store Brønd, som er i Seku, da spurgte han og sagde: Hvor er Samuel og David? og en sagde: Se, de ere i Najoth i Rama.
Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.
23 Da gik han derhen til Najoth i Rama; og Guds Aand kom ogsaa over ham, og han vedblev at gaa og profetere, indtil han kom til Najoth i Rama.
And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was on him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 Og han førte sig ogsaa af sine Klæder og profeterede ogsaa for Samuels Ansigt og kastede sig nøgen ned hele den Dag og hele den Nat; derfor siger man: Er Saul ogsaa iblandt Profeterne?
And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Why they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?
