2 Samuel 5
1 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David in Hebron, saying: Behold we are thy bone and thy flesh.
Då kom alle Israels ætter til David i Hebron, og tala soleis: «Du veit me og du er same folket.
2 Moreover yesterday also and the day before, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that did lead out and bring in Israel: and the Lord said to thee: Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over Israel.
Alt lenge sidan, med Saul var kongen vår, so var du føraren for Israel. Og med deg hev Herren sagt: «Du skal vera hyrding for Israel, folket mitt! du skal vera fyrste yver Israel!»»
3 The ancients also of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they anointed David to be king over Israel.
Då alle dei øvste i Israel var komne til Hebron, til kongen, gjorde kong David samband med deim i Hebron for Herrens åsyn. Og dei salva David til konge yver Israel.
4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
Tretti år var David då han vart konge. Og han var konge i fyrti år.
5 In Hebron he reigned over Juda seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned three and thirty years over all Israel and Juda.
I Hebron var han konge yver Juda i sju år og seks månader. I Jerusalem var han konge i tri og tretti år yver heile Israel og Juda.
6 And the king and all the men that were with him went to Jerusalem to the Jebusites the inhabitants of the land: and they said to David: Thou shalt not come in hither unless thou take away the blind and the lame that say: David shall not come in hither.
Kongen drog upp til Jerusalem med heren sin mot jebusitarne, som budde der i landet. Dei sagde då til David: «Hit inn vinn du ikkje koma! Jamvel blinde og lame folk kann driva deg burt berre med dei ordi: Hit kjem David ikkje!»
7 But David took the castle of Sion, the same is the city of David.
David tok like vel Sionsborgi. Den borgi vart Davidsbyen.
8 For David had offered that day a reward to whosoever should strike the Jebusites and get up to the gutters of the tops of the houses, and take away the blind and the lame that hated the soul of David: therefore it is said in the proverb: The blind and the lame shall not come into the temple.
David gav den dagsordren: «Kvar ein som slær jebusitarne, lat honom ganga upp til vatsleidingi, og slå desse blinde og lame som ber David imot!» Difor plar dei segja: «Blind og lam kjem ikkje inn i huset.»
9 And David dwelt in the castle, and called it, The city of David: and built round about from Mello and inwards.
David tok bustad der på borgi og kalla henne Davidsbyen. David bygde byen rundt ikring frå Millo og innetter.
10 And he went on prospering and growing up, and the Lord God of hosts was with him.
Davids velde auka stødt og stendigt. Og Herren, allhers Gud, var med honom.
11 And Hiram the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons for walls: and they built a house for David.
Kong Hiram i Tyrus sende folk til David med cedertre og timbremenner og steinhoggarar. Dei bygde eit hus for David.
12 And David knew that the Lord bad confirmed him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom over his people Israel.
Og David skyna at Herren hadde grunnfest kongedømet hans yver Israel, og lyft kongedømet hans upp til æra for Israel, folket sitt, skuld.
13 And David took more concubines and wives of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were born to David other sons also and daughters:
David tok seg endå fleire fylgjekonor og konor frå Jerusalem, etter han var komen dit frå Hebron. Og David fekk endå fleire søner og døtter.
14 And these are the names of them, that were born to him in Jerusalem, Samua, and Sobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
Dei sønerne han fekk i Jerusalem heitte: Sammua, Sobab, Natan, Salomo,
15 And Jebahar, and Elisua, and Nepheg,
Jibhar, Elisua, Nefeg, Jafia,
16 And Japhia, and Elisama, and Elioda, and Eliphaleth.
Elisama, Eljada og Elifelet.
17 And the Philistines heard that they had anointed David to be king over Israel: and they all came to seek David: and when David heard of it, he went down to a strong hold.
Då filistarane frette at David var salva til konge yver Israel, drog alle filistarane upp og søkte åt honom. Då David spurde det, drog han ned til borgi.
18 And the Philistines coming spread themselves in the valley of Raphaim.
Filistarane kom og spreidde seg utyver i Refa’imsdalen.
19 And David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go up to the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to David: Go up, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into thy hand.
Då gjorde David det spursmålet til Herren: «Skal eg draga upp mot filistarane? Vil du gjeva deim i mi hand?» Herren svara David: «Drag upp, eg vil gjeva filistarane i di hand.»
20 And David came to Baal Pharisim: and defeated them there, and he said: The Lord hath divided my enemies before me, as waters are divided. Therefore the name of the place was called Baal Pharisim.
David kom til Ba’al-Perasim. Og der vann David yver deim. Då sagde han: «Herren hev brote igjenom uvenerne mine, liksom vatn bryt igjenom.» Det er difor staden hev fenge namnet Ba’al-Perasim.
21 And they left there their idols: which David and his men took away.
Dei let etter seg gudebilæti sine, og David og folki hans tok deim.
22 And the Philistines came up again and spread themselves in the valley of Raphaim.
Endå ein gong drog filistarane upp og spreidde seg utyver i Refa’imsdalen.
23 And David consulted the Lord: Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou deliver them into my hands? He answered: Go not up against them, but fetch a compass behind them, and thou shalt come upon them over against the pear trees.
Då David spurde Herren, svara han: «Drag ikkje mot deim! Kringset deim attanfrå, so du fell yver deim frå den staden der bakatrei stend.
24 And when thou shalt hear the sound of one going in the tops of the pear trees, then shalt thou join battle: for then will the Lord go out before thy face to strike the army of the Philistines.
So snart du høyrer ljoden av stig i topparne på bakatrei, so må du springa fram. For då dreg Herren ut framfyre deg og vinn yver filistarheren!»
25 And David did as the Lord had commanded him, and he smote the Philistines from Gabaa until thou come to Gezer.
David gjorde som Herren baud; og han slo filistarane og forfylgde deim frå Geba heilt fram til Gezer.
