1 Samuel 19
1 And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that he would kill David. But Jonathan the son of Saul delighted greatly in David.
Og Saul talede til Jonathan, sin Søn, og til alle sine Tjenere, at de skulle slaa David ihjel; men Jonathan, Sauls Søn, fandt stort Behag i David.
2 And Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee; now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:
Og Jonathan forkyndte David det og sagde: Min Fader Saul søger efter at slaa dig ihjel; saa var dig nu, kære, i Morgen, og bliv i Skjul og hold dig gemt!
3 And I will go out and stand by the side of my father in the field where thou art, and I myself will speak of thee to my father; and I will see what it is, and I will tell thee.
Og jeg vil gaa ud og staa ved min Faders Side paa Marken, hvor du er, og jeg vil tale med min Fader om dig, og naar jeg har set, hvad det er, da vil jeg kundgøre dig det.
4 And Jonathan spoke favorably of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; since he hath not sinned against thee, and because his deeds are very good for thee;
Saa talede Jonathan godt om David til Saul sin Fader, og sagde til ham: Kongen synde ikke imod sin Tjener, imod David, thi han har ikke syndet imod dig, saa ere og hans Gerninger dig meget gode.
5 And he did put his life in his hand, and he slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great salvation for all Israel; thou sawest it, and wast rejoiced: wherefore then wilt thou commit sin on innocent blood, by slaying David without a cause?
Thi han har sat sit Liv i sin Haand og slaget Filisteren, og Herren beredte en stor Frelse for al Israel, det har du set og glædedes derved; og hvorfor vil du synde imod uskyldigt Blod ved at ihjelslaa David uforskyldt?
6 And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, As the Lord liveth, he shall not be put to death.
Da adlød Saul Jonathans Røst, og Saul svor; Saa vist som Herren lever, han skal ikke dødes.
7 And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these words. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.
Og Jonathan kaldte ad David, og Jonathan gav ham alle disse Ord til Kende; og Jonathan førte David til Saul, og han var for hans Ansigt som tilforn.
8 And the war occurred again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and smote them with a great defeat, and they fled from before him.
Og Krigen varede ved; og David drog ud og stred mod Filisterne og slog dem med et stort Slag, og de flyede for hans Ansigt.
9 And the evil spirit from the Lord came upon Saul, and he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.
Og den onde Aand fra Herren kom paa Saul, og han sad i sit Hus og havde sit Spyd i sin Haand, og David legede paa Strenge med Haanden.
10 And Saul sought to strike David through with the spear even to the wall; but he slipped away from before Saul, who struck the spear into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.
Og Saul søgte efter at stikke Spydet igennem David ind i Væggen; men denne gik bort fra Sauls Ansigt; og han stak Spydet i Væggen; saa flyede David og undkom den samme Nat.
11 But Saul sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning; and Michal his wife told it to David, saying, If thou save not thy life this night, tomorrow thou wilt be put to death.
Og Saul sendte Bud til Davids Hus for at vare paa ham og at slaa ham ihjel om Morgenen; men Mikal, hans Hustru, forkyndte David det og sagde: Dersom du ikke redder dit Liv i Nat, bliver du dræbt i Morgen.
12 And Michal let David down through the window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
Saa lod Mikal David ned igennem et Vindue, og han gik og flyede og undkom.
13 And Michal took an image, and put it in the bed, and a pillow of goats' hair she put for its head to rest on, and covered it with a cloth.
Og Mikal tog Gudebilledet og lagde det i Sengen og lagde et Gedeskind under dets Hoved og bedækkede det med et Klæde.
14 And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.
Da sendte Saul Bud for at lade David hente, og hun sagde: Han er syg.
15 And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may put him to death.
Saa sendte Saul Bud hen at se David og sagde: Bærer ham op til mig i Sengen, at man kan slaa ham ihjel.
16 And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' hair for its head to rest on.
Og Budene kom, og se, Gudebilledet laa i Sengen, og Gedeskindet under dets Hoved.
17 And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou thus deceived me, and sent away my enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal said to Saul, He said unto me, Let me go away: why should I kill thee?
Da sagde Saul til Mikal: Hvorfor bedrog du mig saa og lod min Fjende fare, at han undkom? Og Mikal sagde til Saul: Han sagde til mig: Lad mig gaa, hvorfor skulde jeg slaa dig ihjel?
18 So David fled, and escaped, and came unto Samuel to Ramah, and he told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and remained in Nayoth.
Og David flyede og undkom og kom til Samuel i Rama og gav ham alt det til Kende, som Saul havde gjort ham; og han og Samuel gik hen, og de bleve i Najoth.
19 And it was told unto Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Nayoth near Ramah.
Og det blev Saul tilkendegivet, og der sagdes: Se, David er i Najoth i Rama.
20 And Saul sent messengers to take David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as superintendent over them: then came upon the messengers of Saul the spirit of God, and they also prophesied.
Da sendte Saul Bud, at de skulde hente David, og de saa en Forsamling af Profeter, som profeterede, og Samuel, som var sat over dem, stod hos; og Guds Aand kom over Sauls Bud, saa at ogsaa de profeterede.
21 And when it was told to Saul, he sent other messengers, and these prophesied likewise. And Saul sent again messengers the third time, and these also prophesied.
Der de gave Saul det til Kende, da sendte han andre Bud, og de profeterede ogsaa; og Saul sendte ydermere tredje Gang Bud, og de profeterede ogsaa.
22 Then went he himself also to Ramah, and came as far as the great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And some one said, Behold, they are at Nayoth near Ramah.
Siden gik han selv til Rama, og der han kom til den store Brønd, som er i Seku, da spurgte han og sagde: Hvor er Samuel og David? og en sagde: Se, de ere i Najoth i Rama.
23 And he went thither to Nayoth near Ramah: and there came upon him also the Spirit of God, and he went on, and prophesied as he went, until he came to Nayoth near Ramah.
Da gik han derhen til Najoth i Rama; og Guds Aand kom ogsaa over ham, og han vedblev at gaa og profetere, indtil han kom til Najoth i Rama.
24 And he also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied himself before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore people are in the habit of saying, Is Saul too among the prophets?
Og han førte sig ogsaa af sine Klæder og profeterede ogsaa for Samuels Ansigt og kastede sig nøgen ned hele den Dag og hele den Nat; derfor siger man: Er Saul ogsaa iblandt Profeterne?
