1 Samuel 19
1 Saul talte nu med sin Søn Jonatan og alle sine Folk om at slaa David ihjel. Men Sauls Søn Jonatan holdt meget af David.
And Saul gave orders to his son Jonathan and to all his servants to put David to death. But Saul's son Jonathan had great delight in David.
2 Derfor fortalte Jonatan David det og sagde: »Min Fader Saul staar dig efter Livet; tag dig derfor i Vare i Morgen, gem dig og hold dig skjult!
And Jonathan said to David, Saul, my father, is purposing your death: so now, take care in the morning, and keep yourself safe in a secret place:
3 Men jeg vil gaa ud og stille mig hen hos min Fader paa Marken der, hvor du er; saa vil jeg tale til ham om dig, og hvis jeg mærker noget, vil jeg lade dig det vide.«
And I will go out and take my place by my father's side in the field near where you are; and I will get into talk with my father about you, and when I see how things are, I will give you word.
4 Saa talte Jonatan Davids Sag hos sin Fader Saul og sagde til ham: »Kongen forsynde sig ikke mod sin Træl David; thi han har ikke forsyndet sig mod dig, og hvad han har udrettet, har gavnet dig meget;
And Jonathan gave his father Saul a good account of David, and said to him, Let not the king do wrong against his servant, against David; because he has done you no wrong, and all his acts have had a good outcome for you:
5 han vovede Livet for at dræbe Filisteren, og HERREN gav hele Israel en stor Sejr. Du saa det selv og glædede dig derover; hvorfor vil du da forsynde dig ved uskyldigt Blod og dræbe David uden Grund?«
For he put his life in danger and overcame the Philistine, and the Lord gave all Israel salvation: you saw it and were glad: why then are you sinning against him who has done no wrong, desiring the death of David without cause?
6 Og Saul lyttede til Jonatans Ord, og Saul svor: »Saa sandt HERREN lever, han skal ikke blive dræbt!«
And Saul gave ear to the voice of Jonathan, and said with an oath, By the living Lord, he is not to be put to death.
7 Derpaa lod Jonatan David hente og fortalte ham det hele; og Jonatan førte David til Saul, og han var om ham som før.
Then Jonathan sent for David and gave him word of all these things. And Jonathan took David to Saul, who kept him by his side as in the past.
8 Men Krigen fortsattes, og David drog i Kamp mod Filisterne og tilføjede dem et stort Nederlag, saa de flygtede for ham.
And there was war again: and David went out fighting the Philistines, causing great destruction among them; and they went in flight before him.
9 Da kom der en ond Aand fra HERREN over Saul, og engang han sad i sit Hus med sit Spyd i Haanden, medens David legede paa Strengene,
And an evil spirit from the Lord came on Saul, when he was seated in his house with his spear in his hand; and David made music for him.
10 søgte Saul at spidde David til Væggen med Spydet; men han veg til Side for Saul, saa han jog Spydet i Væggen, medens David flygtede og undslap.
And Saul would have sent his spear through him, pinning him to the wall, but he got away and the spear went into the wall: and that night David went in flight and got away.
11 Om Natten sendte Saul Folk til Davids Hus for at passe paa ham og dræbe ham om Morgenen. Men Davids Hustru Mikal røbede ham det og sagde: »Hvis du ikke redder dit Liv i Nat, er du dødsens i Morgen!«
Then in that night Saul sent men to David's house to keep watch on him so as to put him to death in the morning: and David's wife Michal said to him, If you do not go away to a safe place tonight you will be put to death in the morning.
12 Saa hejste Mikal David ned igennem Vinduet, og han flygtede bort og undslap.
So Michal let David down through the window, and he went in flight and got away.
13 Derpaa tog Mikal Husguden, lagde den i Sengen, bredte et Gedehaarsnet over Hovedet paa den og dækkede den til med et Tæppe.
Then Michal took the image and put it in the bed, with a cushion of goat's hair at its head, and she put clothing over it.
14 Da nu Saul sendte Folk hen for at hente David, sagde hun: »Han er syg.«
And when Saul sent men to take David, she said, He is ill.
15 Men Saul sendte Sendebudene hen for at se David, idet han sagde: »Bring ham paa Sengen op til mig, for at jeg kan dræbe ham!«
And Saul sent his men to see David, saying, Do not come back without him, take him in his bed, so that I may put him to death.
16 Da Sendebudene kom derhen, opdagede de, at det var Husguden, der laa i Sengen med Gedehaarsnettet over Hovedet.
And when the men came in, there was the image in the bed, with the cushion of goat's hair at its head
17 Da sagde Saul til Mikal: »Hvorfor førte du mig saaledes bag Lyset og hjalp min Fjende bort, saa han undslap?« Mikal svarede Saul: »Han sagde til mig: Hjælp mig bort, ellers slaar jeg dig ihjel!«
And Saul said to Michal, why have you been false to me, letting my hater go and get safely away? And in answer Michal said to Saul, He said to me, Let me go, or I will put you to death.
18 Men David var flygtet og havde bragt sig i Sikkerhed. Derpaa gik han til Samuel i Rama og fortalte ham alt, hvad Saul havde gjort imod ham; og han og Samuel gik hen og tog Ophold i Najot.
So David went in flight and got away and came to Ramah, to Samuel, and gave him an account of all Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and were living in Naioth.
19 Da nu Saul fik at vide, at David var i Najot i Rama,
And word was given to Saul that David was at Naioth in Ramah.
20 sendte han Folk ud for at hente David; men da de saa Profetskaren i profetisk Henrykkelse og Samuel staaende hos dem, kom Guds Aand over Sauls Sendebud, saa at ogsaa de faldt i profetisk Henrykkelse.
And Saul sent men to take David; and when they saw the band of prophets at work, with Samuel in his place at their head, the spirit of God came on Saul's men, and they became like prophets.
21 Da Saul hørte det, sendte han andre Folk af Sted; men ogsaa de faldt i Henrykkelse. Saa sendte Saul paa ny, tredje Gang, Folk af Sted; men ogsaa de faldt i Henrykkelse.
And Saul, having news of this, sent other men, who in the same way became like prophets. And a third time Saul sent men, and they like the others became like prophets.
22 Da begav han sig selv til Rama, og da han kom til Cisternen paa Tærskepladsen, som ligger paa den nøgne Høj, spurgte han: »Hvor er Samuel og David?« Man svarede: »I Najot i Rama!«
Then he himself went to Ramah, and came to the great water-spring in Secu; and questioning the people he said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, They are at Naioth in Ramah.
23 Men da han gik derfra til Najot i Rama, kom Guds Aand ogsaa over ham, og han gik i Henrykkelse hele Vejen, lige til han naaede Najot i Rama.
And he went on from there to Naioth in Ramah: and the spirit of God came on him, and he went on, acting like a prophet, till he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 Da rev ogsaa han sine Klæder af sig, og han var i Henrykkelse foran Samuel og faldt nøgen om og blev liggende saaledes hele den Dag og den følgende Nat. Derfor hedder det: »Er ogsaa Saul iblandt Profeterne?«
And he took off his clothing, acting like a prophet before Samuel, and falling down he was stretched out, without his clothing, all that day and all that night. This is the reason for the saying, Is even Saul among the prophets?
