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.
Saul talte nu med sin Søn Jonatan og alle sine Folk om at slå David ihjel. Men Sauls Søn Jonatan holdt meget af 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:
Derfor fortalte Jonatan David det og sagde: "Min Fader Saul står dig efter Livet; tag dig derfor i Vare i Morgen, gem dig og hold dig skjult!
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.
Men jeg vil gå ud og stille mig hen hos min Fader på Marken der, hvor du er; så vil jeg tale til ham om dig, og hvis jeg mærker noget, vil jeg lade dig det vide."
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;
Så talte Jonatan Davids Sag hos sin Fader Saul og sagde til ham: "Kongen forsynde sig ikke mod sin Træl David; thi han har ikke forsyndet sig mod dig, og hvad han har udrettet, har gavnet dig meget;
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?
han vovede Livet for at dræbe Filisteren, og HERREN gav hele Israel en stor Sejr. Du så det selv og glædede dig derover; hvorfor vil du da forsynde dig ved uskyldigt Blod og dræbe David uden Grund?"
6 And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, As the Lord liveth, he shall not be put to death.
Og Saul lyttede til Jonatans Ord, og Saul svor: "Så sandt HERREN lever, han skal ikke blive dræbt!"
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.
Derpå lod Jonatan David hente og fortalte ham det hele; og Jonatan førte David til Saul, og han var om ham som før.
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.
Men Krigen fortsattes, og David drog i Kamp mod Filisterne og tilføjede dem et stort Nederlag, så de flygtede for ham.
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.
Da kom der en ond Ånd fra HERREN over Saul, og engang han sad i sit Hus med sit Spyd i Hånden, medens David legede på Strengene,
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.
søgte Saul at spidde David til Væggen med Spydet; men han veg til Side for Saul, så han jog Spydet i Væggen, medens David flygtede og undslap.
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.
Om Natten sendte Saul Folk til Davids Hus for at passe på ham og dræbe ham om Morgenen. Men Davids Hustru Mikal røbede ham det og sagde: "Hvis du ikke redder dit Liv i Nat, er du dødsens i Morgen!"
12 And Michal let David down through the window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
Så hejste Mikal David ned igennem Vinduet, og han flygtede bort og undslap.
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.
Derpå tog Mikal Husguden, lagde den i Sengen, bredte et Gedehårsnet over Hovedet på den og dækkede den til med et Tæppe.
14 And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.
Da nu Saul sendte Folk hen for at hente David, sagde hun: "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.
Men Saul sendte Sendebudene hen for at se David, idet han sagde: "Bring ham på Sengen op til mig, for at jeg kan dræbe ham!"
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.
Da Sendebudene kom derhen, opdagede de, at det var Husguden, der lå i Sengen med Gedehårsnettet over Hovedet.
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 førte du mig således bag Lyset og hjalp min fjende bort, så han undslap?" Mikal svarede Saul:"Han sagde til mig: Hjælp mig bort, ellers slår jeg 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.
Men David var flygtet og havde bragt sig i Sikkerhed. Derpå gik han til Samuel i Rama og fortalte ham alt, hvad Saul havde gjort imod ham; og han og Samuel gik hen og tog Ophold i Najot.
19 And it was told unto Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Nayoth near Ramah.
Da nu Saul fik at vide, at David var i Najot 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.
sendte han Folk ud for at hente David; men da de så Profetskaren i profetisk Henrykkelse og Samuel stående hos dem, kom Guds Ånd over Sauls Sendebud, så at også de faldt i profetisk Henrykkelse.
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.
Da Saul hørte det, sendte han andre Folk af Sted; men også de faldt i Henrykkelse. Så sendte Saul på ny, tredje Gang, Folk af Sted; men også de faldt i Henrykkelse.
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.
Da begav han sig selv til Rama, og da han kom til Cisternen på Tærskepladsen, som ligger på den nøgne Høj, spurgte han: "Hvor er Samuel og David?" Man svarede: "I Najot 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.
Men da han gik derfra til Najot i Rama, kom Guds Ånd også over ham, og han gik i Henrykkelse hele Vejen, lige til han nåede Najot 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?
Da rev også han sine Klæder af sig, og han var i Henrykkelse foran Samuel og faldt nøgen om og blev liggende således hele den Dag og den følgende Nat. Derfor hedder det: "Er også Saul iblandt Profeterne?"
