1 Samuel 17
1 And the Philistines gather their camps to battle, and are gathered to Shochoh, which [is] to Judah, and encamp between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephes-Dammim;
Filisterne samlede deres Hær til Kamp. De samlede sig ved Soko i Juda og slog Lejr mellem Soko og Azeka i Efes-Dammim.
2 and Saul and the men of Israel have been gathered, and encamp by the Valley of Elah, and set in array [for] battle to meet the Philistines.
Ligeledes samlede Saul og Israels Mænd sig og slog Lejr i Terebintedalen og gjorde sig rede til at angribe Filisterne.
3 And the Philistines are standing on the mountain on this [side], and Israel is standing on the mountain on that [side], and the valley [is] between them.
Filisterne stod ved Bjerget paa den ene Side, Israeliterne ved Bjerget paa den anden, med Dalen imellem sig.
4 And a man goes out, the champion from the camps of the Philistines, his name [is] Goliath, from Gath; his height [is] six cubits and a span [[or four cubits and a span]],
Da traadte en Tvekæmper ved Navn Goliat fra Gat ud af Filisternes Rækker, seks Alen og et Spand høj.
5 and a helmet of bronze [is] on his head, and he is clothed [with] a scaled coat of mail, and the weight of the coat of mail [is] five thousand shekels of bronze,
Han havde en Kobberhjelm paa Hovedet, var iført en Skælbrynje, hvis Kobber vejede 5000 Sekel,
6 and a frontlet of bronze [is] on his feet, and a javelin of bronze between his shoulders,
og havde Kobberskinner paa Benene og et Kobberspyd over Skulderen.
7 and the wood of his spear [is] like a weavers’ beam, and the flame of his spear [is] six hundred shekels of iron, and the bearer of the buckler is going before him.
Hans Spydstage var som en Væverbom, og hans Spydsod var af Jern og vejede 600 Sekel; hans Skjolddrager gik foran ham.
8 And he stands and calls to the ranks of Israel, and says to them, “Why do you come out to set in array for battle? [Am] I not the Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me;
Han stod frem og raabte over til Israels Slagrækker: »Hvorfor drager I ud til Angreb? Er jeg ikke en Filister og I Sauls Trælle? Vælg jer en Mand og lad ham komme herned til mig!
9 if he is able to fight with me, and has struck me, then we have been for servants to you; and if I prevail against him, and have struck him, then you have been for servants to us, and have served us.”
Hvis han kan tage Kampen op med mig og dræber mig, vil vi være eders Trælle, men faar jeg Bugt med ham og dræber ham, skal I være vore Trælle og trælle for os!«
10 And the Philistine says, “I have reproached the ranks of Israel this day; give a man to me and we fight together!”
Yderligere sagde Filisteren: »I Dag har jeg haanet Israels Slagrækker; kom med en Mand, saa vi kan kæmpe sammen!«
11 And Saul hears—and all Israel—these words of the Philistine, and they are broken down and greatly afraid.
Da Saul og hele Israel hørte disse Filisterens Ord, blev de forfærdede og grebes af Rædsel.
12 And David [is] son of this Ephraimite of Beth-Lehem-Judah, whose name [is] Jesse, and he has eight sons, and the man has become aged among men in the days of Saul;
David var Søn af en Efratit i Betlehem i Juda ved Navn Isaj, som havde otte Sønner. Denne Mand var paa Sauls Tid gammel og til Aars.
13 and the three eldest sons of Jesse go, they have gone after Saul to battle; and the name of his three sons who have gone into battle [are] Eliab the firstborn, and his second Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
Isajs tre ældste Sønner havde fulgt Saul i Krigen, og Navnene paa hans tre ældste Sønner, som var draget i Krigen, var Eliab, den førstefødte, Abinadab, den næstældste, og Sjamma, den tredje;
14 And David is the youngest, and the three eldest have gone after Saul,
David var den yngste. De tre ældste havde fulgt Saul;
15 and David is going and returning from Saul, to feed the flock of his father at Beth-Lehem.
og David gik af og til hjem fra Saul for at vogte sin Faders Smaakvæg i Betlehem.
16 And the Philistine draws near, morning and evening, and stations himself [for] forty days.
Men Filisteren traadte frem og tilbød Kamp hver Morgen og Aften i fyrretyve Dage.
17 And Jesse says to his son David, “Now take an ephah of this roasted [grain] and these ten loaves for your brothers, and run to the camp to your brothers;
Nu sagde Isaj engang til sin Søn David: »Tag en Efa af det ristede Korn her og disse ti Brød til dine Brødre og løb hen til dem i Lejren med det
18 and take these ten cuttings of the cheese to the head of the one thousand, and inspect your brothers for welfare, and receive their pledge.”
og bring disse ti Skiver Flødeost til Tusindføreren; og se saa, hvorledes det gaar dine Brødre, og faa et Pant af dem;
19 And Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, [are] in the Valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
Saul ligger med dem og alle Israels Mænd i Terebintedalen og kæmper med Filisterne!«
20 And David rises early in the morning, and leaves the flock to a keeper, and lifts up, and goes, as Jesse commanded him, and he comes to the path, and to the force which is going out to the rank, and they have shouted for battle;
Næste Morgen tidlig overlod David Smaakvæget til en Vogter, tog Sagerne og gav sig paa Vej, som Isaj havde paalagt ham; og han kom til Vognborgen, netop som Hæren rykkede ud til Slag og opløftede Kampraabet.
21 and Israel and the Philistines set in array rank to meet rank.
Baade Israel og Filisterne stod rede til Kamp, Slagorden mod Slagorden.
22 And David lets down the goods from off him on the hand of a keeper of the goods, and runs into the rank, and comes and asks of his brothers of [their] welfare.
David lagde sine Sager fra sig og overlod dem til Vagten ved Trosset, løb ind mellem Slagrækkerne og gik hen og hilste paa sine Brødre.
23 And he is speaking with them, and behold, a man, the champion, is coming up, his name [is] Goliath the Philistine, from Gath, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and he speaks according to those words, and David hears;
Medens han talte med dem, se, da kom Tvekæmperen — Filisteren Goliat hed han og var fra Gat — frem fra Filisternes Slagrækker og talte, som han plejede, medens David hørte paa det.
24 and all the men of Israel, when they see the man, flee from his presence, and are greatly afraid.
Da Israels Mænd saa Manden, flygtede de alle rædselsslagne for ham.
25 And the men of Israel say, “Have you seen this man who is coming up? For he is coming up to reproach Israel, and it has been—the man who strikes him, the king enriches him with great riches, and he gives his daughter to him, and makes his father’s house free in Israel.”
Og Israels Mænd sagde: »Ser I den Mand, som kommer der? Det er for at haane Israel, han kommer; den, som dræber ham, vil Kongen give stor Rigdom; sin Datter vil han give ham, og hans Fædrenehus vil han fritage for Skat i Israel!«
26 And David speaks to the men who are standing by him, saying, “What is done to the man who strikes this Philistine, and has turned aside reproach from Israel? For who [is] this uncircumcised Philistine that he has reproached the ranks of the living God?”
David spurgte da de Mænd, som stod om ham: »Hvilken Løn faar den, som dræber denne Filister og tager Skammen fra Israel? Thi hvem er vel denne uomskaarne Filister, at han vover at haane den levende Guds Slagrækker?«
27 And the people speak to him according to this word, saying, “Thus it is done to the man who strikes him.”
Og Folkene gentog for ham: »Det og det faar den, som dræber ham!«
28 And Eliab, his eldest brother, hears when he speaks to the men, and the anger of Eliab burns against David, and he says, “Why [is] this—[that] you have come down? And to whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I have known your pride, and the evil of your heart—for you have come down to see the battle.”
Men da hans ældste Broder Eliab hørte ham tale med Mændene, blev han vred paa David og sagde: »Hvad vil du her? Og hvem har du overladt de stakkels Faar i Ørkenen? Jeg kender dit Overmod og dit Hjertes Ondskab; du kom jo herned for at se paa Kampen!«
29 And David says, “What have I done now? Is it not a word?”
Da sagde David: »Hvad har jeg nu gjort? Det var jo da kun et Spørgsmaal!«
30 And he turns around from him to another, and says according to this word, and the people return him word as the first word.
Og han vendte sig fra ham til en anden og sagde det samme, og Folkene svarede ham som før.
31 And the words which David has spoken are heard, and they declare [them] before Saul, and he receives him;
Imidlertid rygtedes det, hvad David havde sagt; det kom ogsaa Saul for Øre, og han lod ham hente.
32 and David says to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fall because of him, your servant goes, and has fought with this Philistine.”
Da sagde David til Saul: »Min Herre maa ikke tabe Modet! Din Træl vil gaa hen og kæmpe med den Filister!«
33 And Saul says to David, “You are not able to go to this Philistine, to fight with him, for you [are] a youth, and he [has been] a man of war from his youth.”
Saul svarede David: »Du kan ikke gaa hen og kæmpe med den Filister; thi du er en ung Mand, og han har været Kriger fra sin Ungdom!«
34 And David says to Saul, “Your servant has been a shepherd among the sheep for his father, and the lion has come—and the bear—and has taken away a sheep out of the drove,
Men David sagde til Saul: »Din Træl har vogtet sin Faders Smaakvæg; og kom der en Løve eller en Bjørn og slæbte et Dyr bort fra Hjorden,
35 and I have gone out after him, and struck him, and delivered [it] out of his mouth, and he rises against me, and I have taken hold on his beard, and struck him, and put him to death.
løb jeg efter den og slog den og rev det ud af Gabet paa den; kastede den sig saa over mig, greb jeg den i Skægget og slog den ihjel.
36 Your servant has struck both the lion and the bear, and this uncircumcised Philistine has been as one of them, for he has reproached the ranks of the living God.”
Baade Løve og Bjørn har din Træl dræbt, og det skal gaa denne uomskaarne Filister som en at dem; thi han har haanet den levende Guds Slagrækker!«
37 And David says, “YHWH, who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, He delivers me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul says to David, “Go, and YHWH is with you.”
Fremdeles sagde David: »HERREN, som har reddet mig fra Løvers og Bjørnes Vold, vil ogsaa redde mig fra denne Filisters Haand!« Da sagde Saul til David: »Gaa! HERREN være med dig!«
38 And Saul clothes David with his long robe, and has put a helmet of bronze on his head, and clothes him with a coat of mail.
Saul iførte nu David sin Vaabenkjortel, satte en Kobberhjelm paa hans Hoved, iførte ham en Brynje
39 And David girded his sword above his long robe, and begins to go, for he has not tried [it]; and David says to Saul, “I am not able to go with these, for I had not tried”; and David turns them aside from off him.
og spændte sit Sværd om ham over Vaabenkjortelen; men det var forgæves, han søgte at gaa dermed, thi han havde aldrig prøvet det før. Da sagde David til Saul: »Jeg kan ikke gaa dermed, thi jeg har aldrig prøvet det før!« Og David tog det af.
40 And he takes his staff in his hand, and chooses five smooth stones for himself from the brook, and puts them in the shepherds’ vessel that he has, even in the leather pouch, and his sling [is] in his hand, and he draws near to the Philistine.
Derpaa tog han sin Stav i Haanden og udsøgte sig fem af de glatteste Sten i Flodlejet, lagde dem i sin Hyrdetaske, der tjente ham som Slyngestenstaske, tog sin Slynge i Haanden og gik mod Filisteren.
41 And the Philistine goes on, going and drawing near to David, and the man carrying the buckler [is] before him,
Imidlertid kom Filisteren David nærmere og nærmere med Skjolddrageren foran sig;
42 and the Philistine looks attentively, and sees David, and despises him, for he was a youth, and ruddy, with a handsome appearance.
og da Filisteren saa til og fik Øje paa David, ringeagtede han ham, fordi han var en ung Mand, rødmosset og smuk at se til.
43 And the Philistine says to David, “Am I a dog that you are coming to me with sticks?” And the Philistine reviles David by his gods,
Og Filisteren sagde til David: »Er jeg en Hund, siden du kommer imod mig med en Stav?« Og Filisteren forbandede David ved sin Gud.
44 and the Philistine says to David, “Come to me, and I give your flesh to the bird of the heavens, and to the beast of the field.”
Derpaa sagde Filisteren til David: »Kom herhen, saa skal jeg give Himmelens Fugle og Markens vilde Dyr dit Kød!«
45 And David says to the Philistine, “You are coming to me with sword, and with spear, and with buckler, and I am coming to you in the Name of YHWH of Hosts, God of the ranks of Israel, which you have reproached!
David svarede Filisteren: »Du kommer imod mig med Sværd og Spyd og Kastevaaben, men jeg kommer imod dig i Hærskarers HERRES, Israels Slagrækkers Guds, Navn, ham, du har haanet.
46 This day YHWH shuts you up into my hand—and I have struck you, and turned aside your head from off you, and given the carcass of the camp of the Philistines this day to the bird of the heavens, and to the beast of the earth, and all the earth knows that God is for Israel!
I Dag giver HERREN dig i min Haand; jeg skal slaa dig ned og hugge Hovedet af dig og i Dag give Himmelens Fugle og Jordens vilde Dyr din og Filisterhærens døde Kroppe, for at hele Jorden kan kende, at der er en Gud i Israel,
47 And all this assembly knows that YHWH does not save by sword and by spear, for the battle [is] YHWH’s, and He has given you into our hand.”
og for at hele denne Forsamling kan kende, at HERREN ikke giver Sejr ved Sværd eller Spyd; thi HERREN raader for Kampen, og han vil give eder i vor Haand!«
48 And it has come to pass, that the Philistine has risen, and goes, and draws near to meet David, and David hurries and runs to the rank to meet the Philistine,
Da Filisteren nu satte sig i Bevægelse og gik nærmere hen imod David, løb David hurtigt hen imod Slagrækken for at møde Filisteren.
49 and David puts forth his hand into the vessel, and takes a stone from there, and slings, and strikes the Philistine on his forehead, and the stone sinks into his forehead, and he falls on his face to the earth.
Og David greb ned i Tasken, tog en Sten af den, slyngede den ud og ramte Filisteren i Panden, saa Stenen trængte ind i hans Pande, og han styrtede næsegrus til Jorden.
50 And David is stronger than the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and strikes the Philistine, and puts him to death, and there is no sword in the hand of David,
Saaledes fik David Bugt med Filisteren med Slynge og Sten, og han slog Filisteren ihjel, skønt han ikke havde Sværd i Haanden.
51 and David runs and stands over the Philistine, and takes his sword, and draws it out of its sheath, and puts him to death, and cuts off his head with it; and the Philistines see that their hero [is] dead, and flee.
Saa løb David hen ved Siden af Filisteren, greb hans Sværd, drog det af Skeden og gav ham Dødsstødet og huggede Hovedet af ham dermed. Da Filisterne saa, at deres Helt var død, flygtede de;
52 And the men of Israel rise—also Judah—and shout, and pursue the Philistines until you enter the valley, and to the gates of Ekron, and the wounded of the Philistines fall in the way of Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron,
men Israels og Judas Mænd satte sig i Bevægelse, opløftede Kampraabet og forfulgte Filisterne lige til Gat og Ekrons Porte, og de faldne Filistere laa paa Vejen fra Sja'arajim lige til Gat og Ekron.
53 and the sons of Israel return from burning after the Philistines, and spoil their camps.
Derpaa vendte Israeliterne tilbage fra Forfølgelsen af Filisterne og plyndrede deres Lejr.
54 And David takes the head of the Philistine, and brings it to Jerusalem, and he has put his weapons in his own tent.
Og David tog Filisterens Hoved og bragte det til Jerusalem, men hans Vaaben lagde han i sit Telt.
55 And when Saul sees David going out to meet the Philistine, he has said to Abner, head of the host, “Whose son [is] this—the youth, Abner?” And Abner says, “Your soul lives, O king, I have not known.”
Da Saul saa David gaa imod Filisteren, sagde han til Hærføreren Abner: »Hvis Søn er denne unge Mand, Abner?« Abner svarede: »Saa sandt du lever, Konge, jeg ved det ikke!«
56 And the king says, “Ask whose son this [is]—the young man.”
Da sagde Kongen: »Forhør dig om, hvis Søn denne Yngling er!«
57 And when David turns back from striking the Philistine, then Abner takes him and brings him in before Saul, and the head of the Philistine [is] in his hand;
Da saa David vendte tilbage efter at have dræbt Filisteren, tog Abner ham og førte ham frem for Saul, og han havde Filisterens Hoved i Haanden.
58 and Saul says to him, “Whose son [are] you, O youth?” And David says, “Son of your servant Jesse, the Beth-Lehemite.”
Saul sagde til ham: »Hvis Søn er du, unge Mand?« David svarede: »Jeg er Søn af din Træl, Betlehemiten Isaj!«
