1 Samuel 30
1 Bvt when Dauid and his men were come to Ziklag the thirde day, the Amalekites had inuaded vpon the South, euen vnto Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burnt it with fire,
Da David og hans Mænd Tredjedagen efter kom til Ziklag, var Amalekiterne faldet ind i Sydlandet og Ziklag, og de havde indtaget Ziklag og stukket det i Brand;
2 And had taken the women that were therein, prisoners, both small and great, and slewe not a man, but caryed them away, and went their wayes.
Kvinderne og alle, som var der, små og store, havde de taget til Fange; de havde ingen dræbt, men ført dem med sig, da de drog bort.
3 So Dauid and his men came to the city, and beholde, it was burnt with fire, and their wiues, and their sonnes, and their daughters were taken prisoners.
Da David og hans Mænd kom til Byen, se, da var den nedbrændt og deres Hustruer, Sønner og Døtre taget til Fange.
4 Then Dauid and the people that was with him, lift vp their voyces and wept, vntill they could weepe no more.
Da brast David og hans Krigere i lydelig Gråd, og de græd, til de ikke kunde mere.
5 Dauids two wiues were taken prisoners also, Ahinoam the Izreelite, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Også Davids to Hustruer Ahinoam fra Jizre'el og Abigajil, Karmeliten Nabals Hustru, var taget til Fange.
6 And Dauid was in great sorowe: for the people entended to stone him, because the heartes of all the people were vexed euery man for his sonnes and for his daughters: but Dauid comforted him selfe in the Lord his God.
Og David kom i stor Vånde, thi Folkene tænkte på at stene ham, da de alle græmmede sig over deres Sønner eller Døtre. Men David søgte Styrke hos HERREN sin Gud;
7 And Dauid saide to Abiathar the Priest Ahimelechs sonne, I pray thee, bring me the Ephod. And Abiathar brought the Ephod to Dauid.
og David sagde til Præsten Ebjatar, Ahimeleks Søn: "Bring mig Efoden hid!" Og Ebjatar bragte David den.
8 Then Dauid asked counsell at the Lord, saying, Shall I follow after this companie? shall I ouertake them? And he answered him, Followe: for thou shalt surely ouertake them, and recouer all.
Da rådspurgte David HERREN: "Skal jeg sætte efter denne Røverskare? Kan jeg indhente den?" Han svarede: "Sæt efter den; thi du skal indhente den og bringe Redning!"
9 So Dauid and the sixe hundreth men that were with him, went, and came to the riuer Besor, where a part of them abode:
Så drog David af Sted med de 600 Mand, som var hos ham, og de kom til Besorbækken, hvor de, som skulde lades tilbage, blev stående;
10 But Dauid and foure hundreth men followed (for two hundreth abode behinde, being too wearie to goe ouer the riuer Besor)
men David begyndte Forfølgelsen med 400 Mand, medens 200 Mand, som var for udmattede til at gå over Besorbækken, blev tilbage.
11 And they found an Egyptian in the fielde, and brought him to Dauid, and gaue him bread and he did eat, and they gaue him water to drinke.
Og de fandt en Ægypter liggende på Marken; ham tog de med til David og gav ham Brød at spise og Vand at drikke;
12 Also they gaue him a fewe figges, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirite came againe to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunke any water in three dayes, and three nightes.
desuden gav de ham en Figenkage og to Rosinkager. Da han havde spist, kom han til Kræfter; - thi han havde hverken spist eller drukket i hele tre Døgn.
13 And Dauid saide vnto him, To whome belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he saide, I am a yong man of Egypt, and seruant to an Amalekite: and my master left me three dayes agoe, because I fell sicke.
David spurgte ham da: "Hvem tilhører du, og hvor er du fra?" Han svarede: "Jeg er en ung Ægypter, Træl hos en Amalekit; min Herre efterlod mig her, da jeg for tre Dage siden blev syg.
14 We roued vpon the South of Chereth, and vpon the coast belonging to Iudah, and vpon the South of Caleb, and we burnt Ziklag with fire.
Vi gjorde Indfald i det kretiske Sydland, i Judas Område og i Kalebs Sydland, og Ziklag stak vi i Brand."
15 And Dauid saide vnto him, Canst thou bring me to this companie? And he said, Sweare vnto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliuer me into the handes of my master, and I will bring thee to this companie.
Da sagde David til ham: "Vil du vise mig Vej til denne Røverskare?" Han svarede: "Tilsværg mig ved Gud, at du hverken vil dræbe mig eller udlevere mig til min Herre, så vil jeg vise dig Vej til den!"
16 And when he had brought him thither, beholde, they lay scattered abroade vpon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dauncing, because of all the great pray that they had taken out of the lande of the Philistims, and out of the land of Iudah.
Så viste han dem Vej, og de traf dem spredte rundt om i hele Egnen i Færd med at spise og drikke og holde Fest på hele det store Bytte, de havde taget fra Filisterlandet og Judas Land.
17 And Dauid smote them from the twilight, euen vnto the euening of the next morowe, so that there escaped not a man of them, saue foure hundreth yong men, which rode vpon camels, and fled.
David huggede dem da ned fra Dæmring til Aften; og ingen af dem undslap undtagen 400 unge Mænd, som svang sig på Kamelerne og flygtede.
18 And Dauid recouered all that the Amalekites had taken: also Dauid rescued his two wiues.
Og David reddede alt, hvad Amalekiterne havde røvet, også sine to Hustruer.
19 And they lacked nothing, small or great, sonne or daughter, or of the spoyle of all that they had taken away: Dauid recouered them all.
Og der savnedes intet, hverken småt eller stort, hverken Byttet eller Sønnerne og Døtrene eller noget af, hvad de havde taget med; det hele bragte David tilbage.
20 Dauid also tooke all the sheepe, and the oxen, and they draue them before his cattell, and said, This is Dauids pray.
Da tog de alt Småkvæget og Hornkvæget og drev det hen for David og sagde: "Her er Davids Bytte!"
21 And Dauid came to the two hundreth men that were too wearie for to follow Dauid: whome they had made also to abide at the riuer Besor: and they came to meete Dauid, and to meete the people that were with him: so when Dauid came neere to the people, hee saluted them.
Da David kom til de 200 Mand, som havde været for udmattede til at følge ham, og som han havde ladet blive ved Besorbækken, gik de David og hans Folk i Møde, og David gik hen til Folkene og hilste på dem.
22 Then answered all the euill and wicked of the men that went with Dauid, and saide, Because they went not with vs, therefore will wee giue them none of the pray that wee haue recouered, saue to euery man his wife and his children: therefore let them carie them away and depart.
Men alle ildesindede Niddinger blandt dem, som havde fulgt David, tog til Orde og sagde: "De fulgte os ikke, derfor vil vi intet give dem af Byttet, vi har reddet; kun deres Hustruer og Børn må de tage med hjem!"
23 Then saide Dauid, Yee shall not doe so, my brethren, with that which the Lord hath giuen vs, who hath preserued vs, and deliuered the companie that came against vs, into our handes.
David sagde: "Således må I ikke gøre, nu da HERREN har været gavmild imod os og skærmet os og givet Røverskaren, som overfaldt os, i vor Hånd.
24 For who will obey you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth downe to the battel, so shall his part be, that tarieth by the stuffe: they shall part alike.
Hvem er der vel, som vil følge eder i det? Nej, den, der drog i Kampen, og den, der blev ved Trosset, skal have lige Del, de skal dele med hinanden!"
25 So from that day forward hee made it a statute and a lawe in Israel, vntill this day.
Og derved blev det både den Dag og siden; han gjorde det til Lov og Ret i Israel, som det er den Dag i bag.
26 When Dauid therefore came to Ziklag, he sent of the pray vnto the Elders of Iudah and to his friends, saying, See there is a blessing for you of the spoyle of the enemies of the Lord.
Da David kom til Ziklag, sendte han noget af Byttet til de Ældste i Juda, som var hans Venner, med det Bud: "Her er en Gave til eder af Byttet, der er taget fra HERRENs Fjender!"
27 Hee sent to them of Beth-el, and to them of South Ramoth, and to them of Iattir,
Det var til dem i Betel, i Ramot i Sydlandet, i Jattir,
28 And to them of Aroer, and to them of Siphmoth, and to them of Eshtemoa,
dem i Ar'ara, i Sifmot, i Esjtemoa,
29 And to them of Rachal, and to them of the cities of the Ierahmeelites, and to them of the cities of the Kenites,
i Karmel, i Jerame'eliternes Byer, i Keniternes Byer,
30 And to them of Hormah, and to them of Chor-ashan, and to them of Athach,
i Horma, i Bor-Asjan, i Atak,
31 And to them of Hebron, and to all the places where Dauid and his men had hanted.
i Hebron, og ligeledes til alle de andre Steder, hvor David havde færdedes med sine Mænd.
