2 Samuel 16
1 Da David var gaaet lidt frem fra Toppen, se, da kom Ziba, Mefiboseths Tjener, imod ham med et Par sadlede Asener, og paa dem vare to Hundrede Brød og hundrede Klaser Rosiner og hundrede Stykker Sommerfrugt og en Flaske Vin.
And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred bunches of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.
2 Og Kongen sagde til Ziba: Hvad vil du dermed? og Ziba sagde: Asenerne skulle være for Kongens Hus til at ride paa, og Brødet og Sommerfrugten til at æde for de unge Karle, og Vinen til at drikke for den, som bliver træt i Ørken.
And the king said unto Ziba, What mean you by these? And Ziba said, The asses be for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.
3 Og Kongen sagde: Men hvor er din Herres Søn? og Ziba sagde til Kongen: Se, han blev i Jerusalem; thi han sagde: I Dag skal Israels Hus give mig min Faders Rige igen.
And the king said, And where is your master's son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abides at Jerusalem: for he said, To day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.
4 Og Kongen sagde til Ziba: Se, alt det, som Mefiboseth har, skal være dit; og Ziba sagde: Jeg nedbøjer mig, lad mig finde Naade for dine Øjne, min Herre Konge!
Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, your are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly plead to you that I may find grace in your sight, my lord, O king.
5 Og Kong David kom til Bahurim, og se, der gik en Mand derudfra af Sauls Huses Slægt, hvis Navn var Simei, Geras Søn, som gik ud og vedblev at bande ham.
And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came.
6 Og han slog efter David og efter alle Kong Davids Tjenere med Stene, og alt Folket og alle de vældige vare ved højre og venstre Side af ham.
And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
7 Og Simei sagde saa, der han bandede: Gak ud, gak ud, du blodgerrige Mand og du Belials Mand!
And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, you bloody man, and you man of Belial:
8 Herren har betalt dig alt Sauls Huses Blod, hans, i hvis Sted du er bleven Konge, og Herren har givet Riget i din Søn Absaloms Haand, og se, du er i din Ulykke, thi du er en blodgerrig Mand.
The LORD has returned upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose position you have reigned; and the LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son: and, behold, you are taken in your mischief, because you are a bloody man.
9 Da sagde Abisaj, Zerujas Søn, til Kongen: Hvorfor skulde denne døde Hund bande min Herre Kongen? Kære, lad mig gaa over, og jeg vil tage hans Hoved.
Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray you, and take off his head.
10 Men Kongen sagde: Hvad har jeg med eder at gøre, I Zerujas Sønner? naar han bander, og Herren har sagt til ham: Band David! hvo kan da sige: Hvorfor gjorde du saa?
And the king said, What have I to do with you, all of you sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD has said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore have you done so?
11 Og David sagde til Abisaj og til alle sine Tjenere: Se, min Søn, som er kommen af mit Liv, søger efter mit Liv, og hvi skulde ikke meget mere nu denne Benjaminit gøre det? lader ham være og lader ham bande, thi Herren har sagt det til ham.
And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came out of my bowels, seeks my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD has bidden him.
12 Maaske Herren skal se til min Elendighed, og Herren skal betale mig godt i Stedet for hans Forbandelse paa denne Dag.
It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day.
13 Saa gik David og hans Mænd paa Vejen; men Simei gik frem ved Siden af Bjerget tværs over for ham og blev ved at bande og slog med Stene tværs over for ham og støvede med Støvet.
And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill's side opposite to him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
14 Og Kongen kom ind og alt Folket, som var med ham, som vare trætte, og de vederkvægedes der.
And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
15 Men Absalom og alt Folket, Israels Mænd, kom til Jerusalem, og Akitofel med ham.
And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
16 Og det skete, der Arkiteren Husaj, Davids Ven, kom til Absalom, da sagde Husaj til Absalom: Kongen leve! Kongen leve!
And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom, God save the king, God save the king.
17 Men Absalom sagde til Husaj: Er dette din Miskundhed mod din Ven? hvorfor drog du ikke med din Ven?
And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this your kindness to your friend? why went you not with your friend?
18 Og Husaj sagde til Absalom: Ikke saa; thi hvem Herren og dette Folk og alle Israels Mænd udvælger, hans vil jeg være, og hos ham vil jeg blive.
And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide.
19 Og for det andet, hvem skulde jeg tjene? skulde jeg ikke tjene for hans Søns Ansigt? ligesom jeg tjente for din Faders Ansigt, saa vil jeg være for dit Ansigt.
And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in your father's presence, so will I be in your presence.
20 Da sagde Absalom til Akitofel: Giver I nu Raad, hvad vi skulle gøre.
Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do.
21 Og Akitofel sagde til Absalom: Gak ind til din Faders Medhustruer, som han lod blive tilbage til at bevare Huset, saa skal al Israel høre, at du er bleven forhadt hos din Fader, og alle deres Hænder, som ere hos dig, skulle blive stærke.
And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto your father's concubines, which he has left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that you are abhorred of your father: then shall the hands of all that are with you be strong.
22 Da opsloge de et Telt paa Taget for Absalom, og Absalom gik ind til sin Faders Medhustruer for al Israels Øjne.
So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.
23 Men Akitofels Raad, som han raadede i de Dage, var, ligesom man havde adspurgt Gud om en Ting; saa var alt Akitofels Raad baade for David og for Absalom.
And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
