1 Samuel 17
1 Now the Philistines, gathering their troops for battle, assembled at Socoh of Judah. And they made camp between Socoh and Azekah, within the borders of Dammim.
Filistarane stemnde saman herarne sine til strid. Dei stemnde til Soko, som høyrer til Juda. Og dei lægra seg millom Soko og Azeka ved Efes-Dammim.
2 But Saul and the sons of Israel, having gathered together, went to the Valley of Terebinth. And they positioned the army so as to fight against the Philistines.
Saul og Israels hermenner hadde og samla seg, og lægra seg i Eikedalen. Dei fylkte seg til slag mot filistarane.
3 And the Philistines were standing on a mountain on the one side, and Israel was standing on a mountain on the other side. And there was a valley between them.
Filistarane stod på den eine fjellsida, Israels-mennerne på hi, med dalen midt imillom seg.
4 And there went out from the camp of the Philistines, a man of illegitimate birth, named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a palm.
Då steig det fram frå filistarfylkingi ei einvigskjempa. Han var frå Gat, og heitte Goliat, var seks alner og ei spann høg.
5 And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was clothed with a breastplate of scales. Moreover, the weight of his breastplate was five thousand shekels of brass.
Han hadde ein koparhjelm på hovudet, og gjekk med ei ringbrynja av kopar på fem tusund lodd.
6 And he had plates of brass on his lower legs, and a small shield of brass was covering his shoulders.
Han hadde koparspenger på føterne, og bar eit koparspjot på ryggen.
7 Now the shaft of his spear was like the beam used by a weaver. And the iron of his spear held six hundred shekels of iron. And his armor bearer went before him.
Spjotskaftet var som ein vevbom, og jarnet på spjotodden vog seks hundrad lodd. Og våpnsveinen hans gjekk fyre honom.
8 And standing still, he cried out to the battle lines of Israel, and he said to them: “Why have you arrived, prepared for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not the servants of Saul? Choose one man from among you, and let him descend to do battle alone.
Han steig no fram og ropa til Israels-fylkingi, og sagde til deim: «Kvifor dreg de ut og fylkjer dykk til slag? Er ikkje eg filistar? og de Sauls trælar? Vel dykk ein som kann koma hit ned til meg!
9 If he is able to fight with me and to strike me down, we will be your servants. But if I will prevail over him, and strike him down, you will be the servants, and you will serve us.”
Magtast han slåst med meg og fella meg, so skal me vera dykkar trælar. Men vinn eg på honom og feller honom, so skal de vera våre trælar og tena oss.»
10 And the Philistine was saying: “I have reproached the troops of Israel today. Present a man to me, and let him undertake a fight against me alone.”
Filistaren ropa framleides: «No hev eg svivyrdt Israels-fylkingi. Send ein hit til meg, so me kann slåst!»
11 And Saul and all the Israelites, hearing these words of the Philistine in this manner, were stupefied and exceedingly afraid.
Då Saul og heile Israel høyrde desse ordi av filistaren, skalv dei og vart ovleg rædde.
12 Now David was the son of an Ephrathite man, the one mentioned above, from Bethlehem of Judah, whose name was Jesse. He had eight sons, and during the days of Saul, he was an elderly man, and of great age among men.
David var son åt denne efratiten Isai som er nemnd, i Betlehem i Juda. Isai hadde åtte søner. På Sauls tid var han gamall og mykje til års komen.
13 Now his three eldest sons followed Saul into battle. And the names of his three sons, who went to the battle, were Eliab, the firstborn, and the second, Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
Dei tri eldste sønerne åt Isai fylgde Saul i krigen. Desse tri sønerne hans som gjekk i krigen heitte: den eldste Eliab, den andre Abinadab, og den tridje Samma.
14 But David was the youngest. Therefore, when the three eldest had followed Saul,
David var den yngste. Det var dei tri eldste som fylgde Saul.
15 David went away from Saul, and he returned, so that he might pasture the flock of his father at Bethlehem.
Og David gjekk tidt heim frå Saul og gjætte smalen åt far sin i Betlehem.
16 Truly, the Philistine advanced morning and evening, and he stood forth, for forty days.
Filistaren kom fram kvar morgon og kvar kveld i fyrti dagar.
17 Now Jesse said to his son David: “Take, for your brothers, an ephah of cooked grain, and these ten loaves, and hurry to the camp, to your brothers.
Isai sagde med David, son sin: «Tak ei skjeppa av desse steikte aksi, og desse ti brødi, og skunda deg med deim til lægret til brørne dine!
18 And you shall carry these ten little cheeses to the tribune. And visit your brothers, to see if they are doing well. And learn with whom they have been stationed.”
Og desse ti osteskivorne skal du gjeva føraren. Du skal sjå um det stend vel til med brørne dine, og få ei kvitting av deim.
19 But they were in the valley of Terebinth, with Saul and all the sons of Israel, fighting against the Philistines.
For Saul og dei og heile Israels-heren er i Eikedalen i krig med filistarane.»
20 And so, David rose up in the morning, and he commended the flock to the caretaker. And he went away burdened, just as Jesse had instructed him. And he went to the place of the battle line, and to the army, which, in going out to fight, was shouting in the conflict.
Tidleg næste morgon reis David upp, let smalen åt ein hyrding, leste på seg og gjekk av stad, som Isai hadde bode honom. Han kom fram åt vognborgi, nett med same heren gjekk fram i fylking og lyfte herrop.
21 For Israel had positioned their troops, but the Philistines also had prepared themselves against them.
Dei stod no slagbudde både Israel og filistarane, fylking mot fylking.
22 Then, leaving the items that he had brought under the hand of the keeper of baggage, David ran to the place of the conflict. And he was asking if all was going well with his brothers.
David let trænvakti taka vare på føringi si, og sprang burt til heren. Han helsa på brørne sine, og spurde kor til stod.
23 And while he was still speaking with them, there appeared the man of spurious descent, whose name was Goliath, the Philistine of Gath, ascending from the camp of the Philistines. And he was speaking in these same words, which David heard.
Med han stod og tala med deim, fekk han sjå einvigskjempa, filistaren - Goliat heitte han, og var frå Gat - som kom fram or filistarfylkingi, og tok upp att dei vanlege ordi, so David høyrde det.
24 Then all the Israelites, when they had seen the man, fled from his face, fearing him greatly.
Alle Israels-mennerne rømde undan då dei såg honom, og var ovleg rædde.
25 And someone of Israel said: “Have you seen this man, who has risen up. For he ascended in order to reproach Israel. Therefore, the man who will strike him down, the king will enrich with great wealth, and will give to him his daughter, and will cause his father’s house to be free of tribute in Israel.”
Ein av Israels-mennerne sagde: «Ser de den karen som kjem fram der? Til svivyrding for Israel kjem han. Den som feller honom, vil kongen gjeva rikdom, og dotter si vil han gjeva honom, og ætti hans skal verta fri alle skattar og tyngslor i Israel.»
26 And David spoke to the men who were standing with him, saying: “What will be given to the man who will have struck down this Philistine, and who will have taken away the disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should reproach the soldiers of the living God?”
David spurde deim som stod attmed honom: «Kva fær den som feller denne filistaren og tek ei sovori svivyrding burt frå Israel? for kven er denne u-umskorne filistaren som vågar svivyrda fylkingarne åt den livande Gud?»
27 Then the people repeated to him the same words, saying, “These things shall be given to the man who will have struck him down.”
Folki tok upp att dei same ordi; Det og det vil den få som feller honom.
28 Now when Eliab, his eldest brother, had heard this, as he was speaking with the others, he became angry against David, and he said: “Why did you come here? And why did you leave behind those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the wickedness of your heart, that you have come down so that you might see the battle.”
Då Eliab, eldste bror hans, høyrde kva han sagde med folki, vart han brennande harm på David. «Kva kjem du her etter?» ropa han. «Kven hev du late den vesle smaleflokken til burte i øydemarki? Eg veit du er ei vyrdløysa, og full av vondska. Du kjem berre og vil sjå på slaget.»
29 And David said: “What have I done? Is there any word against me?”
David sagde: «Kva hev eg då gjort? Det var då berre ein spurnad.»
30 And he turned away from him a little, toward another. And he asked the same question. And the people responded to him as before.
So vende han seg frå honom mot ein annan og kom med same spursmålet; og han fekk same svaret som fyrr.
31 Now the words that David had spoken were heard and reported in the sight of Saul.
Men dei spurdest, desse ordi David hadde sagt. Og dei kom for øyro åt Saul, og han sende bod etter honom.
32 When he had been led to Saul, he said to him: “Let no one lose heart over him. I, your servant, shall go and fight against the Philistine.”
Og David sagde med Saul: «Ingen må missa modet. Tenaren din vil ganga imot denne filistaren og slåst med honom.»
33 And Saul said to David: “You are not able to withstand this Philistine, nor to fight against him. For you are a boy, but he has been a warrior from his boyhood.”
Men Saul sagde til David: «Du er ikkje før til å ganga i strid mot denne filistaren. Du er berre ungguten, og han er stridsmann alt frå barneåri.»
34 And David said to Saul: “Your servant was pasturing the flock of his father. And there approached a lion or a bear, and it took a ram from the midst of the flock.
David svara Saul: «Tenaren din hev gjætt smalen til far; kom då ei løva eller ein bjørn og røva ein sau i flokken,
35 And I pursued after them, and I struck them, and I rescued from their mouth. And they rose up against me. And I caught them by the throat, and I strangled and killed them.
so fylgde eg etter og drap udyret og reiv sauen ut or gapet på det. Um det reis upp på tvo imot meg, tok eg strupetak og gav det bane.
36 For I, your servant, have killed both lion and bear. And so this uncircumcised Philistine, too, will be like one of them. Now I will go and take away the reproach of the people. For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, who has dared to curse the army of the living God?”
Hev no tenaren din felt både løva og bjørn, skal det ganga nett like eins med denne u-umskorne filistaren; for han hev svivyrdt fylkingarne åt den livande Gud.»
37 And David said, “The Lord who rescued me from the hand of the lion, and from the hand of the bear, he himself will free me from the hand of this Philistine.” Then Saul said to David, “Go, and may the Lord be with you.”
Og David sagde: «Herren som fria meg ut or klørne åt løva og bjørn, han vil fria meg frå denne filistaren.» Då sagde Saul med David: «Gakk! og Herren vil vera med deg.»
38 And Saul clothed David with his garments. And he placed a helmet of brass upon his head, and he clothed him with a breastplate.
Saul klædde på David våpnkjolen sin, sette ein koparhjelm på hovudet hans og gav honom ei brynja.
39 Then David, having girded his sword over his armor, began to see if he could walk in the armor. But he was not accustomed to it. And David said to Saul: “I cannot move about in this way. For I am not used to it.” And he put them aside.
Og David spente sverdet hans ikring seg utanpå våpnkjolen, og freista ganga soleis. Men han var ikkje van med det, og han sagde til Saul: «Eg kann ikkje ganga med dette på meg; eg er ikkje van med det.» Og David lagde det av seg.
40 And he took up his staff, which he held always in his hands. And he chose for himself five very smooth stones from the torrent. And he put them into the shepherd’s bag that he had with him. And he took up a sling in his hand. And he went out against the Philistine.
So tok han staven sin i handi, og fann seg fem av dei hålaste steinarne i bekkjefaret og lagde deim i gjætarskreppa si, som han hadde på seg. Slyngja si tok han i handi. Og so gjekk han fram imot filistaren.
41 And the Philistine, advancing, went and drew near against David. And his armor bearer was before him.
Filistaren gjekk og fram imot David, og skjoldsveinen hans gjekk fyre.
42 And when the Philistine had seen and considered David, he despised him. For he was a youth, ruddy and of handsome appearance.
Då no filistaren gådde David, bles han åt honom; for han var berre ungguten, raudleitt og væn å sjå til.
43 And the Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you approach against me with a staff?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
Filistaren ropa til David: «Meinar du eg er ein hund, sidan du kjem imot meg med stavar?» Og han banna David ved guden sin.
44 And he said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.”
«Kom hit til meg!» ropa filistaren til David, «so skal eg gjeva kjøtet ditt åt fuglarne under himmelen og åt villdyri i marki.»
45 But David said to the Philistine: “You approach me with sword, and spear, and shield. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, which you have reproached.
David svara filistaren: «Du kjem imot meg med sverd og langspjot og kastespjot. Men eg kjem imot deg i namnet åt Herren, allhers drott, han som er Gud for Israels-fylkingarne, deim som du hev svivyrdt.
46 Today, the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down. And I will take your head from you. And today, I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth, so that all the earth may know that God is with Israel.
I dag skal Herren gjeva deg i mitt vald. Eg skal fella deg og hogga hovudet ditt av deg. Dei daude skrottarne til filistarheren skal eg i dag gjeva åt fuglarne under himmelen og åt villdyri i marki, so all jordi skal skyna at Israel hev ein Gud,
47 And this entire assembly will know that the Lord does not save by sword, nor by spear. For this is his war, and he will deliver you into our hands.”
og heile denne lyden skal skyna at det er ikkje med sverd og spjot Herren gjev siger. Striden høyrer Herren til; han gjev dykk i vår hand.»
48 Then, when the Philistine had risen up, and was approaching, and was drawing near against David, David hurried and ran to the fight against the Philistine.
Då no filistaren budde seg og gjekk til møtes med David, skunda David seg og sprang fram imot filistaren, burtimot filistarfylkingi.
49 And he put his hand into his bag, and took out one stone. And swinging it around, he cast it with the sling and struck the Philistine on the forehead. And the stone became imbedded in his forehead. And he fell on his face, upon the ground.
David stakk handi i skreppa, tok upp ein stein, kasta, og råka filistaren i panna. Steinen sokk i panna hans, so han datt å gruve til jordi.
50 And David prevailed against the Philistine with a sling and a stone. And he struck and killed the Philistine. But since David held no sword in his hand,
Soleis vann David på filistaren med ei slyngja si og ein stein, og drap filistaren, endå han hadde ikkje sverd i handi.
51 he ran and stood over the Philistine, and he took his sword, and withdrew it from the sheath. And he killed him and cut off his head. Then the Philistines, seeing that their strongest man was dead, fled away.
David sprang burtåt filistaren, tok sverdet hans, drog det ut or slira og drap honom og hogg hovudet av honom med det. Då filistarane såg at kjempa deira var daud, rømde dei.
52 And the men of Israel and Judah, rising up, shouted and pursued after the Philistines, even until they arrived at the valley and as far as the gates of Ekron. And many wounded among the Philistines fell on the way of Shaaraim, and as far as Gath, and as far as Ekron.
Israels-heren og Juda-heren lagde i veg, lyfte herrop, og forfylgde filistarane dit der vegen tek av til Gai, ja heilt til portarne i Ekron; so det låg falne filistarar på vegen til Sa’arajim, ja heilt til Gat og Ekron.
53 And the sons of Israel, returning after they had pursued the Philistines, invaded their camp.
So snudde Israels-heren attende frå forfylgjingi, og herja filistarlægret.
54 Then David, taking up the head of the Philistine, brought it to Jerusalem. Yet truly, he placed his armor in his own tent.
David tok hovudet åt filistaren og førde til Jerusalem; men våpni hans tok han heim til seg.
55 Now at the time that Saul had seen David going out against the Philistines, he said to Abner, the leader of the military, “From what stock is this youth descended, Abner?” And Abner said, “As your soul lives, O king, I do not know.”
Då Saul såg David ganga imot filistaren, sagde han med Abner, herhovdingen sin: «Abner, kven er den guten son til?» Abner svara: «So visst som du liver, konge! eg veit ikkje.»
56 And the king said, “You shall inquire as to whose son this boy may be.”
Då sagde kongen: «Få du greide på kven den ungdomen er son til!»
57 And when David had returned, after the Philistine had been struck down, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul, having the head of the Philistine in his hand.
Og då David kom att, etter han hadde felt filistaren, tok Abner og førde honom fram for Saul; han heldt hovudet åt filistaren i handi.
58 And Saul said to him, “Young man, from what ancestry are you?” And David said, “I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem.”
Og Saul spurde honom: «Kven er du son til, guten min?» David svara: «Son til tenaren din, Isai i Betlehem.»
