1 Samuel 25
1 Then Samuel dyed, and all Israel assembled, and mourned for him, and buried him in his owne house at Ramah. And Dauid arose and went downe to the wildernes of Paran.
Da Samuel var død, samledes hele Israel og holdt Klage over ham; og man jordede ham i hans Hjem i Rama. Derpaa brød David op og drog ned til Maons Ørken.
2 Now in Maon was a man, who had his possessio in Carmel, and the man was exceeding mightie and had three thousand sheepe, and a thousand goates: and he was shering his sheepe in Carmel.
I Maon boede en Mand, som havde sin Bedrift i Karmel; denne Mand var hovedrig, han havde 3000 faar og 1000 Geder; og han var netop i Karmel til Faareklipning.
3 The name also of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail, and she was a woman of singular wisdome, and beautifull, but the man was churlish, and euil conditioned, and was of the familie of Caleb.
Manden hed Nabal, hans Hustru Abigajil; hun var en klog og smuk Kvinde, medens Manden var haard og ond. Han var Kalebit.
4 And Dauid heard in the wildernesse, that Nabal did shere his sheepe.
Da David ude i Ørkenen hørte, at Nabal havde Faareklipning,
5 Therefore Dauid sent tenne yong men, and Dauid said vnto the yong men, Go vp to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and aske him in my name how he doeth.
sendte han ti af sine Folk af Sted og sagde til dem: »Gaa op til Karmel, og naar I kommer til Nabal, saa hils ham fra mig
6 And thus shall ye say for salutation, Both thou, and thine house, and all that thou hast, be in peace, wealth and prosperitie.
og sig til min Broder: Fred være med dig, Fred være med dit Hus, og Fred være med alt, hvad dit er!
7 Behold, I haue heard, that thou hast sherers: now thy shepherds were with vs, and we did the no hurt, neyther did they misse any thing all the while they were in Carmel.
Jeg har hørt, at du har Faareklipning. Nu har dine Hyrder opholdt sig hos os; vi har ikke fornærmet dem, og de har intet mistet, i al den Tid de har været i Karmel;
8 Aske thy seruants and they wil shew thee. Wherefore let these yong men finde fauour in thine eyes: (for we come in a good season) giue, I pray thee, whatsoeuer commeth to thine hand vnto thy seruants, and to thy sonne Dauid.
spørg kun dine Folk, saa skal de fortælle dig det. Fat Godhed for Folkene! Vi kommer jo til en Festdag; giv dine Trælle og din Søn David, hvad du vil unde os!«
9 And when Dauids yong men came, they tolde Nabal all those wordes in the name of Dauid, and helde their peace.
Davids Folk kom hen og sagde alt dette til Nabal fra David og biede saa paa Svar.
10 Then Nabal answered Dauids seruantes, and sayd, Who is Dauid? and who is the sonne of Ishai? there be many seruantes nowe a dayes, that breake away euery man from his master.
Men Nabal svarede Davids Folk: »Hvem er David, hvem er Isajs Søn? Nu til Dags er der saa mange Trælle, der løber fra deres Herre.
11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I haue killed for my sherers, and giue it vnto men, whom I know not whence they be?
Skulde jeg tage mit Brød, min Vin og mit Slagtekvæg, som jeg har slagtet til mine Faareklippere, og give det til Mænd, jeg ikke ved, hvor er fra?«
12 So Dauids seruants turned their way, and went againe, and came, and tolde him all those things.
Saa begav Davids Folk sig paa Hjemvejen, og da de kom tilbage, fortalte de ham det hele:
13 And Dauid said vnto his men, Girde euery man his sword about him. And they girded euery man his sworde: Dauid also girded his sworde. And about foure hundreth men went vp after Dauid, and two hundreth abode by the cariage.
Da sagde David til sine Folk: »Spænd alle eders Sværd ved Lænd!« Da spændte de alle deres Sværd om, ogsaa David. Og henved 400 Mand fulgte David, medens 200 blev ved Trosset.
14 Nowe one of the seruantes tolde Abigail Nabals wife, saying, Beholde, Dauid sent messengers out of the wildernesse to salute our master, and he rayled on them.
Men en af Folkene fortalte Nabals Hustru Abigajil det og sagde: »David sendte Bud fra Ørkenen for at hilse paa vor Herre; men han overfusede dem,
15 Notwithstanding the men were very good vnto vs, and we had no displeasure, neither missed we any thing as long as we were conuersant with them, when we were in the fieldes.
skønt de Mænd har været meget gode mod os og ikke fornærmet os, og vi har intet mistet, i al den Tid vi færdedes sammen med dem, da vi var ude i Marken.
16 They were as a wall vnto vs both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping sheepe.
De var en Mur om os baade Nat og Dag, i al den Tid vi vogtede Smaakvæget i Nærheden af dem.
17 Nowe therefore take heede, and see what thou shalt doe: for euill will surely come vpon our master, and vpon all his familie: for he is so wicked that a man can not speake to him.
Se nu til, hvad du vil gøre, thi Ulykken hænger over Hovedet paa vor Herre og hele hans Hus; han selv er jo en Usling, man ikke kan tale med!«
18 Then Abigail made haste, and tooke two hundreth cakes, and two bottels of wine, and fiue sheepe ready dressed, and fiue measures of parched corne, and an hundreth frailes of raisins, and two hundreth of figs, and laded them on asses.
Saa gik Abigajil straks hen og tog 200 Brød, to Dunke Vin, fem tillavede Faar, fem Sea ristet Korn, 100 Rosinkager og 200 Figenkager, lagde det paa Æslerne
19 Then she said vnto her seruants, Go ye before me: beholde, I will come after you: yet she tolde not her husband Nabal.
og sagde til sine Karle: »Gaa i Forvejen, jeg kommer bagefter!« Men sin Mand Nabal sagde hun intet derom.
20 And as shee rode on her asse, shee came downe by a secret place of the mountaine, and beholde, Dauid and his men came downe against her, and she met them.
Som hun nu paa sit Æsel red ned ad Vejen i Skjul af Bjerget, kom David og hans Mænd ned imod hende, saa hun mødte dem.
21 And Dauid said, In deede I haue kept all in vaine that this fellow had in the wildernesse, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained vnto him: for he hath requited me euill for good.
Men David havde sagt: »Det er slet ingen Nytte til, at jeg i Ørkenen har værnet om alt, hvad den Mand ejede, saa intet deraf gik tabt; han har gengældt mig godt med ondt.
22 So and more also doe God vnto the enemies of Dauid: for surely I will not leaue of all that he hath, by the dawning of the day, any that pisseth against the wall.
Gud ramme David baade med det ene og det andet, om jeg levner noget mandligt Væsen af alt, hvad hans er, til Morgenens Frembrud!«
23 And when Abigail sawe Dauid, she hasted and lighted off her asse, and fell before Dauid on her face, and bowed her selfe to the ground,
Da Abigajil fik Øje paa David, sprang hun straks af Æselet og kastede sig ned for David paa sit Ansigt, bøjede sig til Jorden,
24 And fel at his feete, and sayd, Oh, my lord, I haue committed the iniquitie, and I pray thee, let thine handmayde speake to thee, and heare thou the wordes of thine handmayde.
faldt ned for hans Fødder og sagde: »Skylden er min, Herre! Lad din Trælkvinde tale til dig og hør din Trælkvindes Ord!
25 Let not my lorde, I pray thee, regard this wicked man Nabal: for as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and follie is with him: but I thine handmayde sawe not the yong men of my lord whom thou sentest.
Min Herre maa ikke regne med den Usling til Nabal! Han svarer til sit Navn; Nabal hedder han, og fuld af Daarskab er han; men jeg, din Trælkvinde, saa ikke min Herres Folk, som du sendte hid.
26 Now therefore my lord, as the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth (the Lord, I say, that hath withholden thee from comming to shedde blood, and that thine hand should not saue thee) so now thine enemies shall be as Nabal, and they that intend to doe my lord euill.
Men nu, min Herre, saa sandt HERREN lever, og saa sandt du lever, du, hvem HERREN har holdt fra at paadrage dig Blodskyld og tage dig selv til Rette: Maatte det gaa dine Fjender og dem, som pønser paa ondt mod min Herre, som Nabal!
27 And now, this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought vnto my lorde, let it be giuen vnto the yong men, that follow my lord.
Lad nu Folkene, som følger min Herre, faa denne Gave, som din Trælkvinde bringer min Herre.
28 I pray thee, forgiue the trespasse of thine handmaide: for the Lord will make my lorde a sure house, because my lord fighteth the battels of the Lord, and none euill hath bene found in thee in all thy life.
Tilgiv dog din Trælkvinde hendes Brøde; thi HERREN vil visselig bygge min Herre et Hus, som skal staa, eftersom min Herre fører HERRENS Krige, og der ikke har været noget ondt at finde hos dig, saa længe du har levet.
29 Yet a man hath risen vp to persecute thee, and to seeke thy soule, but the soule of my lorde shall be bounde in the bundel of life with the Lord thy God: and the soule of thine enemies shall God cast out, as out of the middle of a sling.
Og skulde nogen rejse sig for at forfølge dig og staa dig efter Livet, maatte da min Herres Liv være bundet i de levendes Knippe hos HERREN din Gud; men dine Fjenders Liv slynge han bort med Slyngeskaalen!
30 And when the Lord shall haue done to my lord al the good that he hath promised thee, and shall haue made thee ruler ouer Israel,
Naar HERREN saa for min Herre opfylder alt det gode, han lovede dig, og sætter dig til Fyrste over Israel,
31 Then shall it be no griefe vnto thee, nor offence of minde vnto my lord, that he hath not shed blood causelesse, nor that my lorde hath not preserued him selfe: and when the Lord shall haue dealt well with my lorde, remember thine handmaide.
da faar du ikke dette at bebrejde dig selv, og min Herre faar ikke Samvittighedsnag af, at han uden Grund udgød Blod, og at min Herre tog sig selv til Rette. Og naar HERREN gør vel imod min Herre, kom da din Trælkvinde i Hu!«
32 Then Dauid said to Abigail, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meete me.
Da sagde David til Abigajil: »Priset være HERREN, Israels Gud, som i Dag sendte mig dig i Møde,
33 And blessed be thy counsel, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from comming to shed blood, and that mine hand hath not saued me.
priset være din Klogskab, og priset være du selv, som i bag holdt mig fra at paadrage mig Blodskyld og tage mig selv til Rette!
34 For in deede, as the Lord God of Israel liueth, who hath kept me backe from hurting thee, except thou haddest hasted and met mee, surely there had not bene left vnto Nabal by the dawning of the day, any that pisseth against the wall.
Men saa sandt HERREN, Israels Gud, lever, som holdt mig fra at gøre dig Men: Hvis du ikke var ilet mig i Møde, var ikke et mandligt Væsen levnet Nabal til i Morgen!«
35 Then Dauid receiued of her hande that which she had brought him, and said to her, Goe vp in peace to thine house: beholde, I haue heard thy voyce, and haue graunted thy petition.
Og David modtog af hende, hvad hun havde bragt ham, og sagde til hende: »Gaa op til dit Hus i Fred! Jeg har laant dig Øre og opfyldt dit Ønske.«
36 So Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, he made a feast in his house, like the feast of a King, and Nabals heart was merie within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore shee tolde him nothing, neither lesse nor more, vntil the morning arose.
Da Abigajil kom hjem til Nabal, holdt han netop i sit Hus et Gæstebud som en Konges; og da han var glad og stærkt beruset, sagde hun ham ikke det mindste, før det dagedes.
37 Then in the morning when the wine was gone out of Nabal, his wife tolde him those wordes, and his heart died within him, and he was like a stone.
Men om Morgenen, da Nabals Rus var ovre, fortalte hans Hustru ham Sagen. Da lammedes Hjertet i hans Bryst, og han blev som Sten;
38 And about ten dayes after, the Lord smote Nabal, that he dyed.
og en halv Snes Dage efter slog HERREN Nabal, saa han døde.
39 Now when Dauid heard, that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the Lord that hath iudged the cause of my rebuke of ye hand of Nabal, and hath kept his seruant from euil: for the Lord hath recompensed the wickednesse of Nabal vpon his owne head. Also Dauid sent to commune with Abigail to take her to his wife.
Da David fik at vide, at Nabal var død, sagde han: »Lovet være HERREN, som har hævnet den Krænkelse, Nabal tilføjede mig, og holdt sin Tjener fra at gøre ondt; HERREN har ladet Nabals Ondskab falde tilbage paa hans eget Hoved!« Derpaa sendte David Bud og bejlede til Abigajil.
40 And whe the seruants of Dauid were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake vnto her, saying, Dauid sent vs to thee, to take thee to his wife.
Og da Davids Trælle kom til Abigajil i Karmel, talte de saaledes til hende: »David har sendt os til dig for at bejle til dig!«
41 And she arose, and bowed her selfe on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmayde be a seruant to wash the feete of the seruants of my lord.
Da rejste hun sig, bøjede sig med Ansigtet mod Jorden og sagde: »Din Tjenerinde er rede til at blive min Herres Trælkvinde og tvætte hans Trælles Fødder!«
42 And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode vpon an asse, and her fiue maides folowed her, and she went after the messengers of Dauid, and was his wife.
Saa stod Abigajil hastigt op og satte sig paa sit Æsel, og hendes fem Piger ledsagede hende; og hun fulgte med Davids Sendebud og blev hans Hustru.
43 Dauid also tooke Ahinoam of Izreel, and they were both his wiues.
Desuden havde David ægtet Ahinoam fra Jizre'el. Saaledes blev de begge to hans Hustruer.
44 Now Saul had giuen Michal his daughter Dauids wife to Phalti the sonne of Laish, which was of Gallim.
Men Saul gav sin Datter Mikal, Davids Hustru, til Palti, Lajisj's Søn, fra Gallim.
