1 Samuel 19
1 Saul talte nu med sin Søn Jonatan og alle sine Folk om at slå David ihjel. Men Sauls Søn Jonatan holdt meget af David.
And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, to slay David.
2 Derfor fortalte Jonatan David det og sagde: "Min Fader Saul står dig efter Livet; tag dig derfor i Vare i Morgen, gem dig og hold dig skjult!
And Jonathan, Saul's son, loved David much: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul seeks to kill thee: take heed to thyself therefore to-morrow morning, and hide thyself, and dwell in secret.
3 Men jeg vil gå ud og stille mig hen hos min Fader på Marken der, hvor du er; så vil jeg tale til ham om dig, og hvis jeg mærker noget, vil jeg lade dig det vide."
And I will go forth, and stand near my father in the field where thou shalt be, and I will speak concerning thee to my father; and I will see what his answer may be, and I will tell thee.
4 Så 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 favorably concerning David to Saul his father, and said to him, Let not the king sin against thy servant David, for he has not sinned against thee, and his deeds [are] very good.
5 han vovede Livet for at dræbe Filisteren, og HERREN gav hele Israel en stor Sejr. Du så det selv og glædede dig derover; hvorfor vil du da forsynde dig ved uskyldigt Blod og dræbe David uden Grund?"
And he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great deliverance; and all Israel saw, and rejoined: why then dost thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?
6 Og Saul lyttede til Jonatans Ord, og Saul svor: "Så sandt HERREN lever, han skal ikke blive dræbt!"
And Saul hearkened to the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore, saying, [As] the Lord lives, he shall not die.
7 Derpå lod Jonatan David hente og fortalte ham det hele; og Jonatan førte David til Saul, og han var om ham som før.
And Jonathan called David, and told him all these words; and Jonathan brought David in to Saul, and he was before him as in former times.
8 Men Krigen fortsattes, og David drog i Kamp mod Filisterne og tilføjede dem et stort Nederlag, så de flygtede for ham.
And there was again war against Saul; and David did valiantly, and fought against the Philistines, and smote them with a very great slaughter, and they fled from before him.
9 Da kom der en ond Ånd fra HERREN over Saul, og engang han sad i sit Hus med sit Spyd i Hånden, medens David legede på Strengene,
And an evil spirit from God was upon Saul, and he was resting in his house, and a spear [was] in his hand, and David was playing on the harp with his hands.
10 søgte Saul at spidde David til Væggen med Spydet; men han veg til Side for Saul, så han jog Spydet i Væggen, medens David flygtede og undslap.
And Saul sought to smite David with the spear; and David withdrew [suddenly] from the presence of Saul; and he drove the spear into the wall; and David retreated and escaped.
11 Om Natten sendte Saul Folk til Davids Hus for at passe på 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 it came to pass in that night, that Saul sent messengers to the house of David to watch him, in order to slay him in the morning; and Melchol David's wife told him, saying, Unless thou save thy life this night, to-morrow thou shalt be slain.
12 Så hejste Mikal David ned igennem Vinduet, og han flygtede bort og undslap.
So Melchol lets David down by the window, and he departed, and fled, and escaped.
13 Derpå tog Mikal Husguden, lagde den i Sengen, bredte et Gedehårsnet over Hovedet på den og dækkede den til med et Tæppe.
And Melchol took images, and laid them on the bed, and she put the liver of a goat by his head, and covered them with clothes.
14 Da nu Saul sendte Folk hen for at hente David, sagde hun: "Han er syg."
And Saul sent messengers to take David; and they say that he is sick.
15 Men Saul sendte Sendebudene hen for at se David, idet han sagde: "Bring ham på Sengen op til mig, for at jeg kan dræbe ham!"
And he sends to David, saying, Bring him to me on the bed, that I may slay him.
16 Da Sendebudene kom derhen, opdagede de, at det var Husguden, der lå i Sengen med Gedehårsnettet over Hovedet.
And the messengers come, and, behold, the images [were] on the bed, and the goat's liver at his head.
17 Da sagde Saul til Mikal: "Hvorfor førte du mig således bag Lyset og hjalp min fjende bort, så han undslap?" Mikal svarede Saul:"Han sagde til mig: Hjælp mig bort, ellers slår jeg dig ihjel!"
And Saul said to Melchol, Why hast thou thus deceived me, and suffered my enemy to depart, and he has escaped? and Melchol said to Saul, He said, let me go, and if not, I will slay thee.
18 Men David var flygtet og havde bragt sig i Sikkerhed. Derpå 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 fled, and escaped, and comes to Samuel to Armathaim, and tells him all that Saul had done to him: and Samuel and David went, and dwelt in Navath in Rama.
19 Da nu Saul fik at vide, at David var i Najot i Rama,
And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David [is] in Navath in Rama.
20 sendte han Folk ud for at hente David; men da de så Profetskaren i profetisk Henrykkelse og Samuel stående hos dem, kom Guds Ånd over Sauls Sendebud, så at også de faldt i profetisk Henrykkelse.
And Saul sent messengers to take David, and they saw the assembly of the prophets, and Samuel stood [as] appointed over them; and the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they prophesy.
21 Da Saul hørte det, sendte han andre Folk af Sted; men også de faldt i Henrykkelse. Så sendte Saul på ny, tredje Gang, Folk af Sted; men også de faldt i Henrykkelse.
And it was told Saul, and he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied: and Saul sent again a third set of messengers, and they also prophesied.
22 Da begav han sig selv til Rama, og da han kom til Cisternen på Tærskepladsen, som ligger på den nøgne Høj, spurgte han: "Hvor er Samuel og David?" Man svarede: "I Najot i Rama!"
And Saul was very angry, and went himself also to Armathaim, and he comes as far as the well of the threshing floor that is in Sephi; and he asked and said, Where [are] Samuel and David? And they said, Behold, in Navath in Rama.
23 Men da han gik derfra til Najot i Rama, kom Guds Ånd også over ham, og han gik i Henrykkelse hele Vejen, lige til han nåede Najot i Rama.
And he went thence to Navath in Rama: and there came the Spirit of God upon him also, and he went on prophesying till he came to Navath in Rama.
24 Da rev også han sine Klæder af sig, og han var i Henrykkelse foran Samuel og faldt nøgen om og blev liggende således hele den Dag og den følgende Nat. Derfor hedder det: "Er også Saul iblandt Profeterne?"
And he took off his clothes, and prophesied before them; and lay down naked all that day and all that night: therefore they said, [Is] Saul also among the prophets?
