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 spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should slay 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!
But Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David. And Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeks to kill thee; and now, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in the morning, and abide in a secret place and hide thyself;
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 stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and will speak of thee with my father: and see what it is, and tell thee.
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 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 thee; for also what he did was very advantageous to thee;
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 hand, and smote the Philistine, and Jehovah wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou didst see [it], and didst rejoice; why then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, in slaying David without cause?
6 Og Saul lyttede til Jonatans Ord, og Saul svor: »Saa sandt HERREN lever, han skal ikke blive dræbt!«
And Saul hearkened to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swore, [As] Jehovah liveth, he shall not 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 called David, and Jonathan declared to him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as previously.
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 forth and fought with the Philistines, and smote them with a great slaughter; and they fled 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 Jehovah was upon Saul. And he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David played with his hand.
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 sought to smite David and the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the spear into the wall. And David fled, and escaped that night.
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!«
And Saul 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 thou save not thy life to-night, to-morrow thou wilt be put to death.
12 Saa hejste Mikal David ned igennem Vinduet, og han flygtede bort og undslap.
And Michal let David down through a window; and he went, and fled and escaped.
13 Derpaa tog Mikal Husguden, lagde den i Sengen, bredte et Gedehaarsnet over Hovedet paa den og dækkede den til med et Tæppe.
And Michal took the image, and laid it in the bed, and put the net of goats' [hair] at its head, and covered it with the coverlet.
14 Da nu Saul sendte Folk hen for at hente David, sagde hun: »Han er syg.«
And Saul sent messengers to take David, and she said, He is sick.
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 the messengers to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, 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 the messengers came in, and behold, the image was in the bed, and the net of goats' [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!«
Then Saul said to Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal said to Saul, He said to me, Let me go; why should I slay thee?
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.
And 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 dwelt in Naioth.
19 Da nu Saul fik at vide, at David var i Najot i Rama,
And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth by 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.
Then Saul sent messengers to take David; and they saw a company of prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as president over them; and the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
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 it was told Saul, and he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
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 went he also to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Sechu; and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, at Naioth by 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 thither to Naioth by Ramah; and the Spirit of God came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth by 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 himself also stripped off his clothes, and prophesied, himself also, before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?
