1 Samuel 19
1 And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan the son of Saul loved David exceedingly.
Saul tala med Jonatan, son sin, og med alle tenarane sine um å drepa David. Jonatan Saulsson heldt mykje av David;
2 And Jonathan told David, saying: Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: wherefore look to thyself, I beseech thee, in the morning, and thou shalt abide in a secret place and shalt be hid.
difor nemnde Jonatan dette med David og sagde: «Saul, far min, lurar på å drepa deg. Sjå deg fyre i morgon og haldt deg roleg på eit løynd stad, og gøym deg der!
3 And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art: and I will speak of thee to my father, and whatsoever I shall see, I will tell thee.
So vil eg ganga ut med far og standa med honom på marki der du er; eg vil nemna deg med far; og vert eg visare med noko, skal du få vita det.»
4 And Jonathan spoke good things of David to Saul his father: and said to him: Sin not, O king, against thy servant, David, because he hath not sinned against thee, and his works are very good towards thee.
Jonatan tala Davids sak hjå Saul, far sin, og sagde: «Kongen må ikkje gjera synd på David, tenaren sin. For han hev ikkje gjort synd mot deg. Tvert um; det han hev gjort, hev vore til stor bate for deg.
5 And he put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought great salvation for all Israel. Thou sawest it and didst rejoice. Why therefore wilt thou sin against innocent blood by killing David, who is without fault?
Han våga livet og felte filistaren, og Herren gav so Israel ein stor siger. Du såg det sjølv og gledde deg. Kvifor skulde du gjera synd på skuldlaust blod og drepa David utan grunn?»
6 And when Saul heard this he was appeased with the words of Jonathan, and swore: As the Lord liveth he shall not be slain.
Saul lydde Jonatan, son sin. Og Saul svor: «So sant Herren liver: Han skal ikkje lata livet!»
7 Then Jonathan called David and told him all these words: and Jonathan brought in David to Saul, and he was before him, as he had been yesterday and the day before.
So ropa Jonatan på David og fortalde honom alt dette, og førde honom til Saul, og han var hjå honom som fyrr.
8 And the war began again, and David went out and fought against the Philistines, and defeated them with a great slaughter, and they fled from his face.
Då krigen tok til att, for David i herferd og stridde mot filistarane, og gjorde stort mannefall millom deim, og dei rømde for honom.
9 And the evil spirit from the Lord came upon Saul, and he sat in his house, and held a spear in his hand: and David played with his hand.
Då kom ei vond ånd frå Herren yver Saul, der han sat heime med spjot i handi, medan David leika på strengjerne.
10 And Saul endeavoured to nail David to the wall with his spear. And David slipt away out of the presence of Saul: and the spear missed him, and was fastened in the wall, and David fled and escaped that night.
Då freista Saul å renna spjotet gjenom David inn i veggen. Men han smatt undan, og spjotet for inn i veggen. Og David rømde og kom seg burt same natti.
11 Saul therefore sent his guards to David’s house to watch him, that he might be killed in the morning. And when Michol David’s wife had told him this, saying: Unless thou save thyself this night, tomorrow thou wilt die,
So sende Saul folk til heimen hans David; dei skulde vakta på honom og drepa honom um morgonen. Men Mikal, kona hans, fortalde honom det og sagde: «Bergar du ikkje livet i natt, so er du feig i morgon.»
12 She let him down through a window. And he went and fled away and escaped.
So fira Mikal David ned gjenom vindauga; og han rømde, og berga seg undan.
13 And Michol took an image and laid it on the bed, and put a goat’s skin with the hair at the head of it, and covered it with clothes.
So tok Mikal husguden og lagde i sengi, sette eit net av geitehår kring hovudet, og breidde åklædet yver.
14 And Saul sent officers to seize David: and it was answered that he was sick.
Då no Saul sende folk til å henta David, sagde ho: «Han er sjuk.»
15 And again Saul sent to see David, saying: Bring him to me in the bed, that he may be slain.
Saul sende då Saul folki til å finna David sjølv, og sagde: «Ber honom hit upp til meg i sengi, so me kann drepa honom!»
16 And when the messengers were come in, they found an image upon the bed, and a goat’s skin at its head.
Då folki kom inn, fekk dei sjå det var husguden som låg i sengi, med geitehårsnetet kring hovudet.
17 And Saul said to Michol: Why hast thou deceived me so, and let my enemy go and flee away? And Michol answered Saul: Because he said to me: Let me go, or else I will kill thee.
Saul spurde Mikal: «Kvi hev du svike meg soleis og late uvenen min koma seg undan?» Mikal svara Saul: «Han sagde til meg: «Hjelp meg burt! elles drep eg deg.»»
18 But David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel in Ramatha, and told him all that Saul had done to him: and he and Samuel went and dwelt in Najoth.
Men David hadde rømt og berga seg undan. Han gjekk til Samuel i Rama, og fortalde honom alt det Saul hadde gjort honom. Og han og Samuel for til Nevajot og heldt seg der.
19 And it was told Saul by some, saying: Behold David is in Najoth in Ramatha.
Saul fekk vita at David var i Nevajot ved Rama.
20 So Saul sent officers to take David: and when they saw a company of prophets prophesying, and Samuel presiding over them, the spirit of the Lord came also upon them, and they likewise began to prophesy.
Og Saul sende folk til å henta David. Men då sendemennerne fekk sjå profetlyden i profetisk eldhug og Samuel standa der og vera føraren deira, då kom Gudsåndi yver deim, og dei kom i profetisk eldhug, dei og.
21 And when this was told Saul, he sent other messengers: but they also prophesied. And again Saul sent messengers the third time: and they prophesied also. And Saul being exceedingly angry,
Då Saul fekk høyra det, sende han andre folk dit; dei og kom i profetisk eldhug. Og då han tridje venda sende nye folk, gjekk det like eins med deim.
22 Went also himself to Ramatha, and came as far as the great cistern, which is in Socho, and he asked, and said: In what place are Samuel and David? And it was told him: Behold they axe in Najoth in Ramatha.
Då gjekk han sjølv til Rama. Då han kom til den store brunnen i Seku, spurde han: «Kvar er Samuel og David?» Dei svara: «I Nevajot ved Rama.»
23 And he went to Najoth in Ramatha, and the spirit of the Lord came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied till he came to Najoth in Ramatha.
Då han gjekk dit, til Nevajot ved Rama, kom gudsåndi yver honom og, so han gjekk i profetisk eldhug heile vegen, til dess han kom til Nevajot ved Rama.
24 And he stripped himself also of his garments, and prophesied with the rest before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and night. This gave occasion to a proverb: What! is Saul too among the prophets?
Då reiv han og av seg klædi, med di han og vart teken av profetisk eldhug framfor Samuel. Og han datt i koll og låg der naken heile den dagen og natti med. Difor plar dei segjer: «Er Saul og millom profetarne?»
