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.
Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Saul's son Jonathan liked David very much.
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!
So Jonathan told David, saying, "Saul seeks to kill you. Please take care of yourself in the morning, and keep hidden in a secret place.
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.
I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, 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.
Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, "Do not let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you;
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 put his life in his hand, and struck the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?"
6 Da adlød Saul Jonathans Røst, og Saul svor; Saa vist som Herren lever, han skal ikke dødes.
Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swore, "As the LORD lives, he shall not be put to death."
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.
Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as before.
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.
There was war again. David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter; and they fled before 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.
A harmful spirit from the LORD was on Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing 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.
Saul sought to pin David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he stuck the spear into the wall. 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 sent messengers to David's house, to watch him, and to kill him in the morning. Mikal, David's wife, told him, saying, "If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed."
12 Saa lod Mikal David ned igennem et Vindue, og han gik og flyede og undkom.
So Mikal let David down through the window. He went, 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.
Mikal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes.
14 Da sendte Saul Bud for at lade David hente, og hun sagde: Han er syg.
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.
Then he sent the messengers to see David, saying, "Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him."
16 Og Budene kom, og se, Gudebilledet laa i Sengen, og Gedeskindet under dets Hoved.
When the messengers came in, look, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats' hair at its head.
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?
Saul said to Mikal, "Why have you deceived me thus, and let my enemy go, so that he is escaped?" Mikal answered Saul, "He said, '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.
Now 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 lived in the dwellings.
19 Og det blev Saul tilkendegivet, og der sagdes: Se, David er i Najoth i Rama.
And it was told to Saul, saying, "Look, David is in the dwellings at 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 capture David. But when they saw a company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they 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.
When it was told to Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
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.
And Saul became very angry, and he himself also went to Ramah, and came to the cistern of the threshing floor that is on the bare hill. And he asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" And one said, "Look, they are in the dwellings at 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.
So he went to the dwellings at Ramah. Then the Spirit of God came on him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to the dwellings 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 and prophesied before them, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Thus it is said, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
