1 Samuel 30
1 And it came to pass, when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the South, and upon Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire,
Og det skete, der David og hans Mænd kom paa den tredje Dag til Ziklag, vare Amalekiterne faldne ind imod Sønden og imod Ziklag og havde slaaet Ziklag og opbrændt den med Ild,
2 and had taken captive the women and all that were in it, both small and great. They did not kill any, but carried them off, and went their way.
og de havde taget Kvinderne, som vare derudi, desuden baade smaa og store fangne; de havde ingen slaaet ihjel, men de havde bortført dem og vare gangne deres Vej.
3 And when David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire. And their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captive.
Og David og hans Mænd kom til Staden, og se, den var opbrændt med Ild, og deres Hustruer og deres Sønner og deres Døtre vare fangne.
4 Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
Da opløftede David og det Folk, som var hos ham, deres Røst og græd, indtil der ikke mere var Kraft i dem til at græde.
5 And David's two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Og Davids to Hustruer vare fangne: Ahinoam, den jisreelitiske, og Abigail, Karmeliteren Nabals Hustru.
6 And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters. But David strengthened himself in Jehovah his God.
Og David blev saare angest, thi Folket havde sagt, at de vilde stene ham; thi det ganske Folks Sjæle vare beskeligen bedrøvede, hver for sine Sønner og for sine Døtre; men David styrkede sig i Herren sin Gud.
7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, I pray thee, bring me here the ephod. And Abiathar brought there the ephod to David.
Og David sagde til Abjathar, Præsten, Akimeleks Søn: Kære, før mig Livkjortlen frem; og Abjathar førte Livkjortlen frem til David.
8 And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue, for thou shall surely overtake them, and shall without fail recover all.
Og David adspurgte Herren og sagde: Skal jeg forfølge denne Trop? mon jeg kan naa den? Og han sagde til ham: Forfølg, thi du skal naa den og bringe Redning.
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.
Saa gik David hen, han og seks Hundrede Mand, som vare hos ham, og de kom til Bækken Besor; der bleve de øvrige staaende.
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men, for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
Men David forfulgte dem, han og fire Hundrede Mand, og to Hundrede Mand bleve staaende, som vare for trætte til at gaa over Besors Bæk.
11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread. And he ate, and they gave him water to drink.
Og de fandt en ægyptisk Mand paa Marken, og de toge ham med sig til David; og de gave ham Brød, og han aad, og de gave ham Vand at drikke.
12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins. And when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him, for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
De gave ham og en Klump Figen og to Klaser Rosiner, og han aad, og hans Aand kom til Kræfter igen; thi han havde ikke smagt Brød eller drukket Vand i tre Dage og tre Nætter.
13 And David said to him, To whom do thou belong? And from where are thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite. And my master left me because three days ago I fell sick.
Og David sagde til ham: Hvem hører du til, og hvorfra er du? og han sagde: Jeg er en ægyptisk ung Karl, en amalekitisk Mands Tjener, og min Herre forlod mig, thi jeg blev syg for tre Dage siden.
14 We made a raid upon the South of the Cherethites, and upon that which belongs to Judah, and upon the South of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag with fire.
Vi vare faldne ind Sønder paa imod Kreti og imod det, som hører til Juda, og Sønder paa imod Kaleb, og vi opbrændte Ziklag med Ild.
15 And David said to him, Will thou bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear to me by God, that thou will neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this troop.
Da sagde David til ham: Vil du føre mig ned til denne Trop? og han sagde: Sværg mig ved Gud, at du ikke vil slaa mig ihjel eller overantvorde mig i min Herres Haand, saa vil jeg føre dig ned til denne Trop.
16 And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad over all the ground, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
Og han førte ham ned, og se, de vare adspredte over hele Landet; de aade og drak og holdt Højtid over alt det store Bytte, som de havde taget fra Filisternes Land og fra Judas Land.
17 And David smote them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day. And there escaped not a man of them, except four hundred young men who rode upon camels and fled.
Og David slog dem fra Tusmørket og indtil Aftenen paa den følgende Dag, og ingen undkom af dem uden fire Hundrede Mænd, unge Karle, som rede paa Kamelerne og undflyede.
18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and David rescued his two wives.
Saa reddede David alt det, som Amalekiterne havde taget; David reddede ogsaa sine to Hustruer.
19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor anything that they had taken to them; David brought back all.
Og der var ingen borte af dem, hverken liden eller stor, hverken Sønner eller Døtre, hverken af Byttet eller af alt det, som de havde taget med sig; David førte det alt sammen tilbage.
20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.
Og David tog alt smaat Kvæg og stort Kvæg, og de førte det frem foran det øvrige Kvæg, og de sagde: Dette er Davids Bytte.
21 And David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to abide at the brook Besor. And they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. And when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
Der David kom til de to Hundrede Mænd, som vare blevne for trætte til at gaa efter David og vare blevne ved Besors Bæk, da gik de ud imod David og imod det Folk, som var hos ham, og David gik frem til Folket og hilsede dem.
22 Then answered all the wicked men and base fellows of those who went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them anything of the spoil that we have recovered except to every man his wife and his children that he may lead them away, and depart.
Da svarede hver ond og Belials Mand blandt de Mænd, som vare gangne med David, og sagde: Efterdi de ikke gik med os, da skulle vi ikke give dem af Byttet, som vi have reddet, uden enhver hans Hustru og hans Børn, dem kunne de føre med sig og gaa bort.
23 Then David said, Ye shall not do so, my brothers, with that which Jehovah has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
Da sagde David: I skulle ikke gøre saa, mine Brødre, med det, som Herren har givet os, han som har bevaret os og givet denne Trop, som var kommen over os, i vore Hænder.
24 And who will hearken to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes down to the battle so shall his share be who remains by the baggage; they shall share alike.
Og hvo skulde høre eder i denne Sag? thi som hans Del er, som drog ned til Slaget, saa skal og hans Del være, som blev hos Tøjet, de skulle dele lige.
25 And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
Og det blev saaledes fra den samme Dag og derefter; thi han gjorde det til en Skik og til en Ret i Israel indtil denne Dag.
26 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent from the spoil to the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold, a present for you from the spoil of the enemies of Jehovah:
Og der David kom til Ziklag, da sendte han til de Ældste i Juda, til sine Venner af Byttet og lod sige: Se, der have I en Velsignelse af Herrens Fjenders Bytte;
27 to those who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramoth of the South, and to those who were in Jattir,
nemlig til dem i Bethel og til dem i Ramoth mod Sønden og til dem i Jatthir
28 and to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa,
og til dem i Aroer og til dem i Sifmoth og til dem i Esthemoa
29 and to those who were in Racal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
og til dem i Rakal og til dem i Jerameeliternes Stæder og til dem i Keniternes Stæder
30 and to those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Borashan, and to those who were in Athach,
og til dem i Horma og til dem i Kor-Asan og til dem i Athak
31 and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were accustomed to frequent.
og til dem i Hebron og til alle de Stæder, hvor David havde vandret, han og hans Mænd.
