1 Samuel 18
1 And it comes to pass, when he finishes to speak to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan has been bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loves him as his own soul.
Efter Davids Samtale med Saul blev Jonatans Sjæl bundet til Davids Sjæl, og han elskede ham som sin egen Sjæl;
2 And Saul takes him on that day, and has not permitted him to return to the house of his father.
og Saul tog ham samme dag til sig og tillod ham ikke at vende tilbage til sin Faders Hus.
3 And Jonathan makes—David also—a covenant, because he loves him as his own soul,
Og Jonatan sluttede Pagt med David, fordi han elskede ham som sin egen Sjæl.
4 and Jonathan strips himself of the upper robe which [is] on him, and gives it to David, and his long robe, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
Og Jonatan afførte sig sin Kappe og gav David den tillige med sin Våbenkjortel, ja endog sit Sværd, sin Bue og sit Bælte.
5 And David goes out wherever Saul sends him; he acted wisely, and Saul sets him over the men of war, and it is good in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul.
Og David drog ud; hvor som helst Saul sendte ham hen, havde han Lykken med sig; derfor satte Saul ham over Krigerne, og han vandt Yndest hos alt Folket, endog hos Sauls Folk.
6 And it comes to pass, in their coming in, in David’s returning from striking the Philistine, that the women come out from all the cities of Israel to sing—also the dancers—to meet Saul the king, with tambourines, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments;
Men da de kom hjem, da David vendte tilbage efter at have fældet Filisteren, gik Kvinderne fra alle Israels Byer Saul i Møde med Sang og Dans, med Håndpauker, Jubel og Cymbler,
7 and the women answer—those playing, and say, “Saul has struck among his thousands, And David among his myriads.”
og de dansende Kvinder sang: "Saul slog sine Tusinder, men David sine Titusinder!"
8 And it is exceedingly displeasing to Saul, and this thing is evil in his eyes, and he says, “They have given myriads to David, and they have given the thousands to me, and what more [is there] for him but the kingdom?”
Da blev Saul meget vred; disse Ord mishagede ham, og han sagde: "David giver de Titusinder, og mig giver de Tusinder; nu mangler han kun Kongemagten!"
9 And Saul is eyeing David from that day and from then on.
Og fra den Dag af så Saul skævt til David.
10 And it comes to pass, on the next day, that the spirit of sadness [from] God prospers over Saul, and he prophesies in the midst of the house, and David is playing with his hand, as [he did] day by day, and the javelin [is] in the hand of Saul,
Næste Dag overvældede en ond Ånd fra Gud Saul, så han rasede i Huset, medens David som sædvanligt legede på Strenge; Saul havde sit Spyd i Hånden
11 and Saul casts the javelin and says, “I strike through David, even through the wall”; and David turns around out of his presence twice.
og kastede det i den Tanke: "Jeg vil spidde David til Væggen!" Men David undveg ham to Gange.
12 And Saul is afraid of the presence of David, for YHWH has been with him, and He has turned aside from Saul;
Da kom Saul til at frygte David, fordi HERREN var med ham, medens han var veget fra Saul.
13 and Saul turns him aside from him, and appoints him to himself [for] head of one thousand, and he goes out and comes in, before the people.
Derfor fjernede Saul ham fra sig og gjorde ham til Tusindfører; og han drog ud til Kamp og hjem igen i Spidsen for Krigerne;
14 And David is acting wisely in all his ways, and YHWH [is] with him,
og Lykken fulgte David i alt, hvad han foretog sig; thi HERREN var med ham.
15 and Saul sees that he is acting very wisely, and is afraid of him,
Da Saul så, i hvor høj Grad Lykken fulgte ham, gruede han for ham;
16 and all Israel and Judah love David when he is going out and coming in before them.
men hele Israel og Juda elskede David, fordi han drog ud til Kamp og hjem i Spidsen for dem.
17 And Saul says to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab—I give her to you for a wife; only, be for a son of valor to me, and fight the battles of YHWH”; and Saul said, “Do not let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”
Da sagde Saul til David: "Se, her er min ældste Datter Merab; hende vil jeg give dig til Hustru, dersom du viser dig som en tapper Mand i min Tjeneste og fører HERRENs Krige!" Saul tænkte nemlig: "Han skal ikke falde for min, men for Filisternes Hånd!"
18 And David says to Saul, “Who [am] I? And what [is] my life—the family of my father in Israel—that I am son-in-law of the king?”
David sagde til Saul: "Hvem er jeg, og hvad er min Familie, min Faders Slægt i Israel, at jeg skulde blive Kongens Svigersøn?"
19 And it comes to pass, at the time of the giving of Merab daughter of Saul to David, that she has been given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.
Men da Tiden kom, at Sauls Datter Merab skulde gives David til Ægte, blev hun givet til Adriel fra Mehol
20 And Michal daughter of Saul loves David, and they declare [it] to Saul, and the thing is right in his eyes,
Sauls Datter Mikal fattede Kærlighed til David. Det kom Saul for Øre, og han syntes godt derom;
21 and Saul says, “I give her to him, and she is for a snare to him, and the hand of the Philistines is on him”; and Saul says to David, “By the second—you become my son-in-law today.”
Saul tænkte nemlig: "Jeg vil give hende til ham, for at hun kan blive ham en Snare, så han falder for Filisternes Hånd!" Da sagde Saul til David: "I Dag skal du for anden Gang blive min Svigersøn!"
22 And Saul commands his servants, “Speak to David gently, saying, Behold, the king has delighted in you, and all his servants have loved you, and now, be son-in-law of the king.”
Og Saul gav sine Folk Befaling til underhånden at sige til David: "Kongen synes godt om dig, og alle hans Folk elsker dig; så bliv nu Kongens Svigersøn!"
23 And the servants of Saul speak these words in the ears of David, and David says, “Is it a light thing in your eyes to be son-in-law of the king—and I a poor man, and lightly esteemed?”
Men da Sauls Folk sagde det til David, svarede han: "Synes det eder en ringe Ting at blive Kongens Svigersøn? Jeg er jo en fattig og ringe Mand!"
24 And the servants of Saul declare [it] to him, saying, “David has spoken according to these words.”
Og Sauls Folk meddelte ham det og sagde: "Det og det sagde David."
25 And Saul says, “Thus you say to David, There is no delight for the king in dowry, but in one hundred foreskins of the Philistines—to be avenged on the enemies of the king”; and Saul thought to cause David to fall by the hand of the Philistines.
Da sagde Saul: "Således skal I sige til David: Kongen ønsker ikke andet i Brudekøb end 100 Filisterforhuder, så at han kan få Hævn over sine Fjender!" Saul gjorde nemlig Regning på at få David fældet ved Filisternes Hånd.
26 And his servants declare these words to David, and the thing is right in the eyes of David, to be son-in-law of the king; and the days have not been full,
Da hans Folk fortalte David dette, samtykkede han i at blive Kongens Svigersøn.
27 and David rises and goes, he and his men, and strikes two hundred men among the Philistines, and David brings in their foreskins, and they set them before the king, to be son-in-law of the king; and Saul gives his daughter Michal to him for a wife.
Derpå brød David op og drog ud med sine Mænd og dræbte 200 Filistere, og David kom med deres Forhuder og leverede Kongen dem fuldtallige for at blive hans Svigersøn. Så gav Saul ham sin Datter Mikal til Ægte.
28 And Saul sees and knows that YHWH [is] with David, and Michal daughter of Saul has loved him,
Men da Saul så og skønnede, at HERREN var med David, og at hele Israel elskede ham,
29 and Saul adds to be afraid of the presence of David still; and Saul is an enemy of David [for] all the days.
frygtede han David endnu mere, og Saul blev for stedse David fjendsk.
30 And the princes of the Philistines come out, and it comes to pass from the time of their coming out, David has acted more wisely than any of the servants of Saul, and his name is very precious.
Filisternes Høvdinger rykkede i Marken; og hver Gang de rykkede ud, havde David mere Held med sig end alle Sauls Folk, og han vandt stort Ry.
