< 1 Samuel 23 >

1 Og de gave David til Kende og sagde: Se, Filisterne stride imod Keila, og de røve paa Loerne.
Then they tolde Dauid, saying, Beholde, the Philistims fight against Keilah, and spoyle the barnes.
2 Da spurgte David Herren ad og sagde: Skal jeg gaa og slaa disse Filister? Og Herren sagde til David: Gak, og du skal slaa Filisterne og frelse Keila.
Therfore Dauid asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shal I goe and smite these Philistims? And the Lord answered Dauid, Go and smite the Philistims, and saue Keilah.
3 Men Davids Mænd sagde til ham: Se, vi ere i Frygt her i Juda; og vi ville dog gaa til Keila mod Filisternes Slagordener!
And Dauids men said vnto him, See, we be afrayde here in Iudah, howe much more if we come to Keilah against the hoste of ye Philistims?
4 Da blev David ydermere ved at adspørge Herren, og Herren svarede ham og sagde: Staa op, drag ned til Keila, thi jeg giver Filisterne i din Haand.
Then Dauid asked counsell of the Lord againe. And the Lord answered him, and sayd, Arise, go downe to Keilah: for I wil deliuer the Philistims into thine hand.
5 Saa gik David og hans Mænd til Keila, og han stred imod Filisterne og drev deres Kvæg bort og slog dem med et stort Slag; saa frelste David Indbyggerne i Keila.
So Dauid and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistims, and brought away their cattel, and smote them with a great slaughter: thus Dauid saued the inhabitants of Keilah.
6 Men det skete, da Abjathar, Akimeleks Søn, flyede til David i Keila, da kom Livkjortlen ned med ham.
(And when Abiathar the sonne of Ahimelech fled to Dauid to Keilah, he brought an Ephod with him)
7 Da blev det Saul tilkendegivet, at David var kommen til Keila; og Saul sagde: Gud har overgivet ham i min Haand, da han er indelukt, idet han er kommen i en Stad med dobbelte Porte og Stænger.
And it was tolde Saul that Dauid was come to Keilah, and Saul sayd, God hath deliuered him into mine hand: for he is shut in, seeing he is come into a citie that hath gates and barres.
8 Og Saul opbød alt Folket til Krigen for at drage ned til Keila og belejre David og hans Mænd.
Then Saul called all the people together to warre, for to go downe to Keilah, and to besiege Dauid and his men.
9 Der David fornam, at Saul hemmeligen optændte det onde imod ham, da sagde han til Præsten Abjathar: Bring Livkjortlen hid!
And Dauid hauing knowledge that Saul imagined mischiefe against him, saide to Abiathar the Priest, Bring the Ephod.
10 Og David sagde: Herre, Israels Gud! Din Tjener har hørt for vist, at Saul søger at komme til Keila for at ødelægge Staden for min Skyld.
Then sayde Dauid, O Lord God of Israel, thy seruat hath heard, that Saul is about to come to Keilah to destroy the citie for my sake.
11 Mon Mændene af Keila skulde overantvorde mig i hans Haand? mon Saul skal komme ned, saaledes som din Tjener har hørt? Herre, Israels Gud! Kære, forkynd din Tjener det; og Herren sagde: Han skal komme ned.
Wil the lordes of Keilah deliuer me vp into his hand? and will Saul come downe, as thy seruant hath heard? O Lord God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy seruant. And the Lord sayde, He will come downe.
12 Da sagde David: Mon Mændene af Keila skulle overantvorde mig og mine Mænd i Sauls Haand? og Herren sagde: De skulle overantvorde dig.
Then said Dauid, Will the lords of Keilah deliuer me vp, and the men that are with me, into the hand of Saul? And the Lord sayde, They will deliuer thee vp.
13 Da gjorde David sig rede med sine Mænd, ved seks Hundrede Mand, og de droge ud af Keila og vandrede hen, hvor de kunde vandre, og det blev Saul tilkendegivet, at David var undkommen fra Keila; da opgav han at drage ud.
Then Dauid and his men, which were about sixe hundreth, arose, and departed out of Keilah, and went whither they coulde. And it was tolde Saul, that Dauid was fled from Keilah, and he left off his iourney.
14 Og David blev i Ørken i Befæstningerne, og han tog Ophold paa Bjerget i Ørken Sif; og Saul søgte efter ham alle Dage, men Gud gav ham ikke i hans Haand.
And Dauid abode in the wildernesse in holdes, and remayned in a mountaine in the wildernes of Ziph. And Saul sought him euery day, but God deliuered him not into his hand.
15 Der David saa, at Saul var draget ud for at søge efter hans Liv, da blev David i Ørken Sif i Skoven.
And Dauid sawe that Saul was come out for to seeke his life: and Dauid was in the wildernes of Ziph in the wood.
16 Da gjorde Jonathan, Sauls Søn, sig rede og gik hen i Skoven til David, og han styrkede hans Kraft i Gud.
And Ionathan Sauls sonne arose and went to Dauid into the wood, and comforted him in God,
17 Og han sagde til ham: Frygt ikke, thi min Fader Sauls Haand skal ikke finde dig; men du skal blive Konge over Israel, og jeg vil være den anden hos dig; og Saul, min Fader, ved det ogsaa.
And said vnto him, Feare not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not finde thee, and thou shalt be King ouer Israel, and I shalbe next vnto thee: and also Saul my father knoweth it.
18 Saa gjorde de begge en Pagt for Herrens Ansigt; og David blev i Skoven, men Jonathan gik til sit Hus.
So they twaine made a couenant before ye Lord: and Dauid did remaine in the wood: but Ionathan went to his house.
19 Men Sifiterne droge op til Saul til Gibea og sagde: Har ikke David skjult sig hos os i Befæstningerne i Skoven paa Hakilas Høj, som ligger til højre for Jesimon?
Then came vp the Ziphims to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doeth not Dauid hide himselfe by vs in holdes, in the wood in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the right side of Ieshimon?
20 Har du nu rigtig Lyst, o Konge! til at drage ned, da drag ned; vor Sag skal det være at overantvorde ham i Kongens Haand.
Nowe therefore, O King, come downe according to all that thine heart can desire, and our part shall be to deliuer him into the Kinges handes.
21 Da sagde Saul: Velsignede være I for Herren, at I ynkes over mig!
Then Saul said, Be ye blessed of the Lord: for ye haue had compassion on mee.
22 Kære, gaar, bereder Sagen fremdeles, og faar at vide og ser hans Sted, hvor hans Gang er, hvo der har set ham der; thi man har sagt mig, at han skal være meget træsk.
Goe, I pray you, and prepare ye yet better: know and see his place where he haunteth, and who hath seene him there: for it is sayd to me, He is subtile, and craftie.
23 Derfor ser og skaffer eder at vide iblandt alle Skjulesteder, hvor han skjuler sig, og kommer tilbage til mig, naar I ere visse derpaa, saa vil jeg gaa med eder; og det skal ske, dersom han er i Landet, da vil jeg ransage efter ham blandt alle Tusinder i Juda.
See therefore and know all the secret places where he hideth himselfe, and come ye againe to me with the certaintie, and I will goe with you: and if he be in the lande, I will searche him out throughout all the thousands of Iudah.
24 Da gjorde de sig rede og gik til Sif forud for Saul; men David og hans Mænd vare i Maons Ørk paa den slette Mark, til højre for Jesimon.
Then they arose and went to Ziph before Saul, but Dauid and his men were in the wildernesse of Maon, in the playne on the right hande of Ieshimon.
25 Og Saul gik og hans Mænd for at søge, og det blev David tilkendegivet, og han drog ned fra Klippen og blev i Maons Ørk; der Saul hørte det, da forfulgte han David i Maons Ørk.
Saul also and his men went to seeke him, and they told Dauid: wherefore he came downe vnto a rocke, and abode in the wildernesse of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he folowed after Dauid in the wildernes of Maon.
26 Og Saul gik paa denne Side af Bjerget, og David og hans Mænd paa den anden Side af Bjerget; og der David skyndte sig at komme bort fra Sauls Ansigt, da omringede Saul og hans Mænd David og hans Mænd for at gribe dem.
And Saul and his men went on the one side of the mountaine, and Dauid and his men on the other side of the mountaine: and Dauid made haste to get from the presence of Saul: for Saul and his men compassed Dauid and his men round about, to take them.
27 Men der kom et Bud til Saul og sagde: Skynd dig og kom; thi Filisterne ere faldne ind i Landet.
But there came a messenger to Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come: for the Philistims haue inuaded the land.
28 Da vendte Saul tilbage fra at forfølge David og drog imod Filisterne; derfor kalder man dette Sted Sela-Hamahlekoth.
Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing Dauid, and went against the Philistims. Therefore they called that place, Sela-hammahlekoth.
29 Og David drog op derfra og blev udi Befæstningerne i Engedi.
And Dauid went thence, and dwelt in holdes at En-gedi.
