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.
Då han hadde tala ut med Saul, lagde Jonatan stor elsk på David, og Jonatan elska honom som seg sjølv.
2 And Saul takes him on that day, and has not permitted him to return to the house of his father.
Saul tok honom til seg den dagen og let honom ikkje venda heim att til far sin.
3 And Jonathan makes—David also—a covenant, because he loves him as his own soul,
Jonatan gjorde fostbrorlag med David, av di han elska honom som seg sjølv.
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.
Jonatan tok av seg kappa han bar og gav til David, og våpnkjolen sin, ja jamvel sverdet sitt og bogen sin og beltet sitt gav han honom.
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.
David drog i herferd. Kvar helst Saul sende honom, hadde han lukka med seg. Og Saul sette honom yver krigsheren. Han var vel umtykt av heile folket, endå til av tenarane åt Saul.
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;
Då dei kom heim, etter David hadde felt filistaren, gjekk kvendi ut frå alle byar i Israel, med song og dans, til å møta kong Saul med trummor, fagnadrop og triangel.
7 and the women answer—those playing, and say, “Saul has struck among his thousands, And David among his myriads.”
Kvendi trødde dansen og song: «Tusund tynte kong Saul, men David tie tusund.»
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?”
Då vart Saul brennande harm. Han mislika dei ordi og sagde: «David hev dei gjeve ti tusund; meg hev dei gjeve tusund! No vantar det honom berre kongedømet!»
9 And Saul is eyeing David from that day and from then on.
Og Saul såg jamleg med skakkauga på David frå den dagen.
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,
Dagen etter kom den vonde åndi frå Gud yver Saul. Og han rasa i huset sitt. David spela på harpa, som han kvar dag gjorde. Saul hadde eit spjot i handi.
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.
Saul kasta spjotet og tenkte: «Eg rennar spjotet gjenom David og inn i veggen!» Men David bøygde seg undan, tvo vendor.
12 And Saul is afraid of the presence of David, for YHWH has been with him, and He has turned aside from Saul;
Saul vart rædd David, av di Herren var med honom, samstundes som han hadde vike frå 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.
Saul fekk honom då burt frå seg, med di han sette honom til herførar: han førde herfolket både ut og heim.
14 And David is acting wisely in all his ways, and YHWH [is] with him,
David hadde lukka med seg all stad: Herren var med honom.
15 and Saul sees that he is acting very wisely, and is afraid of him,
Då Saul såg at han hadde so stor ei lukka, fekk han rædsla for honom.
16 and all Israel and Judah love David when he is going out and coming in before them.
Men heile Israel og Juda elska David; for han førde deim både ut og heim.
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.”
Saul sagde med David: «Her er eldste dotter mi, Merab; henne gjev eg deg til kona. Berre te deg som ein dugande kar, og før striden for Herren!» Saul tenkte: «Ikkje for mi hand skal han falla, men for filistarane.»
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 svara Saul: «Kven er eg? og kva er ætti mi, farsætti mi i Israel, sidan eg skal verta måg til kongen.»
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 då tidi kom at David skulde gifta seg med Merab, dotter åt Saul, gifte han henne med Adriel frå Mehola.
20 And Michal daughter of Saul loves David, and they declare [it] to Saul, and the thing is right in his eyes,
Med Mikal Saulsdotter hadde huglagt David. Saul fekk vita det, og han lika det godt;
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.”
for Saul tenkte: «Eg skal gjeva henne åt honom, soleis at ho vert til ei snara for honom, so han fell for filistarhand.» Saul sagde med David: «Andre venda kann du verta mågen min.»
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 baud folki sine: «Kviskra dette ordet i øyra på David: «Kongen likar deg godt, alle folki hans er glad i deg; no må du verta måg til kongen!»»
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?”
Då folki åt Saul sagde dette med David, svara han: «Tykkjer de det er so lite å vera kongsmåg? eg er då berre ein ring og fatig kar.»
24 And the servants of Saul declare [it] to him, saying, “David has spoken according to these words.”
Tenarane åt Saul fortalde honom det: «So og so 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.
Saul sagde: «Soleis skal de segja med David: «Kongen krev ikkje onnor festargåve enn hundrad huvehold av filistarar; for kongen vil hava hemn yver fiendarne sine.»» Saul vonast fella David med filistarhand.
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,
Tenarane hans melde desse ordi til David; og David lika godt å verta kongsmåg. Fyrr tidi var ute,
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.
reis han upp og gjekk av stad med sveinarne sine og gav tvo hundrad filistarar banehogg. Og David førde huveholdi deira med seg og lagde fullt tal fram for kongen, so han kunde verta kongsmåg. So gav Saul honom Mikal til kona.
28 And Saul sees and knows that YHWH [is] with David, and Michal daughter of Saul has loved him,
Saul såg og skyna at Herren var med David. Mikal Saulsdotter elska honom.
29 and Saul adds to be afraid of the presence of David still; and Saul is an enemy of David [for] all the days.
Men Saul vart stendigt meir og meir rædd David. So vart Saul uvenen åt David for heile livet.
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.
Men filistarfyrstarne for i herferd. Og so tidt det for ut, hadde David meir lukka med seg enn hermennerne åt Saul. Og namnet hans vart høgvyrdt.
