2 Samuel 21
1 Then there was a famine in the dayes of Dauid, three yeeres together: and Dauid asked counsell of the Lord, and the Lord answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloodie house, because hee slewe the Gibeonites.
Og der var en Hungersnød i Davids Dage tre Aar, Aar efter Aar, og David søgte Herrens Ansigt, og Herren sagde: Det er for Sauls Skyld og for Blodhusets Skyld, fordi han ihjelslog Gibeoniterne.
2 Then ye King called the Gibeonites and said vnto them. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but a remnant of the Amorites, vnto whom ye children of Israel had sworne: but Saul sought to slay them for his zeale toward the children of Israel and Iudah)
Da lod Kongen kalde ad Gibeoniterne og sagde til dem: (Men Gibeoniterne vare ikke af Israels Børn, men af de overblevne Amoriter, og Israels Børn havde tilsvoret dem, men Saul søgte efter at slaa dem ihjel, fordi han var nidkær for Israels og Judas Børn)
3 And Dauid said vnto the Gibeonites, What shall I doe for you, and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may blesse the inheritance of the Lord?
og David sagde til Gibeoniterne: Hvad skal jeg gøre for eder? og hvormed skal jeg sone det, at I ville velsigne Herrens Arv?
4 The Gibeonites then answered him, Wee will haue no siluer nor golde of Saul nor of his house, neither for vs shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I doe for you.
Og Gibeoniterne sagde til ham: Det er os ikke om Sølv eller Guld at gøre hos Saul og hos hans Hus, og det er os ikke om at gøre at ihjelslaa nogen i Israel; da sagde han: Hvad I sige, vil jeg gøre for eder.
5 Then they answered the King, The man that consumed vs and that imagined euill against vs, so that we are destroyed from remaining in any coast of Israel,
Og de sagde til Kongen: Den Mand, som udryddede os, og som tænkte det imod os, at vi skulde ødelægges, at vi ikke skulde bestaa inden al Israels Landemærke:
6 Let seuen men of his sonnes be deliuered vnto vs, and we will hang them vp vnto the Lord in Gibeah of Saul, the Lordes chosen. And the King said, I will giue them.
Af hans Sønner lad der gives os syv Mænd, at vi kunne hænge dem op for Herren i Sauls Gibea, den Herrens udvalgtes; og Kongen sagde: Jeg vil give eder dem.
7 But the King had compassion on Mephibosheth the sonne of Ionathan the sonne of Saul, because of the Lordes othe, that was betweene them, euen betweene Dauid and Ionathan the sonne of Saul.
Men Kongen sparede Mefiboseth, en Søn af Sauls Søn Jonathan, for Herrens Eds Skyld, som var imellem dem, imellem David og Jonathan, Sauls Søn.
8 But the King tooke the two sonnes of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whome shee bare vnto Saul, euen Armoni and Mephibosheth and the fiue sonnes of Michal, the daughter of Saul, whome shee bare to Adriel the sonne of Barzillai the Meholathite.
Og Kongen tog de to Sønner af Rizpa, Ajas Datter, hvilke hun havde født Saul, nemlig: Armoni og Mefiboseth, og Mikals, Sauls Datters, fem Sønner, hvilke hun havde født Adriel, Meholathiteren Barsillajs Søn;
9 And hee deliuered them vnto the handes of the Gibeonites, which hanged them in the mountaine before the Lord: so they died all seuen together, and they were slaine in the time of haruest: in the first dayes, and in the beginning of barly haruest.
og han gav dem i Gibeoniternes Haand, og de hængte dem op paa Bjerget for Herrens Ansigt, og de faldt alle syv, og de bleve dræbte i Høstens første Dage, i Byghøstens Begyndelse.
10 Then Rizpah the daughter of Aiah tooke sackecloth and hanged it vp for her vpon the rocke, from the beginning of haruest, vntill water dropped vpon them from the heauen, and suffered neither the birdes of the aire to light on the by day, nor beasts of the fielde by night.
Da tog Rizpa, Ajas Datter, Sørgeklædet og udbredte det paa Klippen, fra Høstens Begyndelse, indtil der faldt Vand fra Himmelen over dem; og hun tilstedte ikke Himmelens Fugle at hvile paa dem om Dagen og ej heller Markens Dyr om Natten.
11 And it was told Dauid, what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah ye concubine of Saul had done.
Og det blev David tilkendegivet, det, som Rizpa, Ajas Datter, Sauls Medhustru, havde gjort.
12 And Dauid went and tooke the bones of Saul and the bones of Ionathan his sonne from the citizens of Iabesh Gilead, which had stollen them from the streete of Beth-shan, where the Philistims had hanged them, when the Philistims had slaine Saul in Gilboa.
Og David gik hen og tog fra Mændene i Jabes udi Gilead Sauls Ben og hans Søns, Jonathans, Ben, som de havde stjaalet fra Torvet i Bethsan, hvor Filisterne havde hængt dem paa den Dag, Filisterne havde slaget Saul paa Gilboa,
13 So hee brought thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Ionathan his sonne, and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.
og han førte Sauls Ben og Jonathans, hans Søns, Ben op derfra, og de samlede Benene af dem, som vare hængte.
14 And the bones of Saul and of Ionathan his sonne buried they in the coutrey of Beniamin in Zelah, in the graue of Kish his father: and when they had perfourmed all that the King had commanded, God was then appeased with the land.
Og de begrove Sauls og hans Søn Jonathans Ben i Benjamins Land, i Zela, udi Kis's, hans Faders, Grav, og de gjorde alt det, som Kongen havde befalet; saa bønhørte Gud derefter Landet.
15 Againe the Philistims had warre with Israel: and Dauid went downe, and his seruants with him, and they fought against the Philistims, and Dauid fainted.
Og Filisterne havde endnu en Krig imod Israel, og David drog ned, og hans Tjenere med ham, og stred imod Filisterne, og David blev træt.
16 Then Ishi-benob which was of the sonnes of Haraphah (the head of whose speare wayed three hundreth shekels of brasse) euen he being girded with a newe sword, thought to haue slaine Dauid.
Og Jisbi-Benob, som var en af Rafas Børn, havde et Spyd, hvis Vægt var en Vægt af tre Hundrede Sekel Kobber, og han var ombunden med et nyt Sværd, han tænkte paa at slaa David ihjel.
17 But Abishai the sonne of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistim, and killed him. Then Dauids men sware vnto him, saying, Thou shalt goe no more out with vs to battell, lest thou quench the light of Israel.
Men Abisaj, Zerujas Søn, hjalp denne og slog Filisteren og dræbte ham; da besvore Davids Mænd ham og sagde: Du skal ikke ydermere drage ud med os i Krigen, at du ikke skal udslukke Israels Lampe.
18 And after this also there was a battell with the Philistims at Gob, then Sibbechai the Hushathite slewe Saph, which was one of ye sonnes of Haraphah.
Og det skete derefter, at der var endnu Krig i Gob med Filisterne, da slog Husathiteren Sibkaj Saf, som var af Rafas Børn.
19 And there was yet another battel in Gob with the Philistims, where Elhanah the sonne of Iaare-oregim, a Bethlehemite slewe Goliath the Gittite: the staffe of whose speare was like a weauers beame.
Og der var endnu en Krig i Gob med Filisterne, og El-Hanan, Jaare-Orgims Søn, slog Beth-Lahemi, Githiteren Goliath, hvis Spydstage var som en Væverstang.
20 Afterward there was also a battel in Gath, where was a man of a great stature, and had on euerie hand sixe fingers, and on euerie foote sixe toes, foure and twentie in nomber: who was also the sonne of Haraphah.
Og der var endnu en Krig i Gath; og der var en høj Mand, som havde seks Fingre paa hver af sine Hænder, og seks Tæer paa hver af sine Fødder, det er fire og tyve i Tallet, og han var ogsaa født for Rafa.
21 And when hee reuiled Israel, Ionathan the sonne of Shima the brother of Dauid slewe him.
Og der han forhaanede Israel, da slog Jonathan, Davids Broder Simeas Søn, ham.
22 These foure were borne to Haraphah in Gath, and died by the hande of Dauid and by the hands of his seruants.
Disse fire vare fødte for Rafa i Gath, og de faldt ved Davids Haand og ved hans Tjeneres Haand.
