2 Samuel 3
1 And the war is long between the house of Saul and the house of David, and David is going on and [is] strong, and the house of Saul is going on and [is] weak.
Krigen imellem Sauls og Davids Huse trak i Langdrag; men David blev stærkere og stærkere, Sauls Hus svagere og svagere.
2 And there are sons born to David in Hebron, and his firstborn is Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess,
I Hebron fødtes der David Sønner; hans førstefødte var Amnon, Søn af Ahinoam fra Jizre'el,
3 and his second [is] Chileab, of Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelite, and the third [is] Absalom son of Maacah daughter of Talmai king of Geshur,
den næstældste Kil'ab, Søn af Abigajil, Karmeliten Nabals Hustru, den tredje Absalom, en Søn af Kong Talmaj af Gesjurs Datter Ma'aka,
4 and the fourth [is] Adonijah son of Haggith, and the fifth [is] Shephatiah son of Abital,
den fjerde Adonija, en Søn af Haggit, den femte Sjefatja, en Søn af Abital,
5 and the sixth [is] Ithream, of Eglah wife of David; these have been born to David in Hebron.
og den sjette Jitream, Søn af Davids Hustru Egla. Disse fødtes David i Hebron.
6 And it comes to pass, in the war being between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner has been strengthening himself in the house of Saul,
Under Krigen mellem Sauls og Davids Huse ydede Abner Sauls Hus kraftig Støtte.
7 and Saul has a concubine, and her name [is] Rizpah daughter of Aiah, and [Ish-Bosheth] says to Abner, “Why have you gone in to the concubine of my father?”
Nu havde Saul haft en Medhustru ved Navn Rizpa, Ajjas Datter. Og Isjbosjet sagde til Abner: »Hvorfor gik du ind til min Faders Medhustru?«
8 And it is exceedingly displeasing to Abner, because of the words of Ish-Bosheth, and he says, “[Am] I the head of a dog—that in reference to Judah, today I do kindness with the house of your father Saul, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David—that you charge against me iniquity concerning the woman today?
Abner blev opbragt over Isjbosjets Ord og sagde: »Er jeg nu blevet et Hundehoved fra Juda? Nu har jeg Gang paa Gang vist Godhed mod din Fader Sauls Hus, hans Brødre og Venner og ikke ladet dig falde i Davids Haand, og saa gaar du nu i Rette med mig for en Kvindes Skyld!
9 Thus God does to Abner, and thus He adds to him, surely as YHWH has sworn to David—surely so I do to him:
Gud ramme Abner baade med det ene og det andet: Hvad HERREN tilsvor David, skal jeg nu sørge for bliver opfyldt paa ham;
10 to cause the kingdom to pass over from the house of Saul, and to raise up the throne of David over Israel, and over Judah, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba.”
jeg skal sørge for, at Sauls Hus mister Kongedømmet og Davids Trone bliver rejst over Israel og Juda fra Dan til Be'ersjeba!«
11 And he is not able to return a word [to] Abner anymore, because of his fearing him.
Og af Frygt for Abner kunde Isjbosjet ikke svare et Ord.
12 And Abner sends messengers to David for himself, saying, “Whose [is] the land?” [And] saying, “Make your covenant with me, and behold, my hand [is] with you, to bring around all Israel to you.”
Saa sendte Abner Sendebud til David i Hebron og lod sige: »Slut Pagt med mig! Se, jeg vil hjælpe dig og bringe hele Israel over paa din Side!«
13 And [David] says, “Good—I make a covenant with you; only, one thing I am asking of you, that is, you do not see my face, except [that] you first bring in Michal daughter of Saul in your coming in to see my face.”
Han svarede: »Vel, jeg vil slutte Pagt med dig; men een Ting kræver jeg af dig: Du bliver ikke stedet for mit Aasyn, med mindre du har Sauls Datter Mikal med, naar du kommer!«
14 And David sends messengers to Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, saying, “Give up my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself with one hundred foreskins of the Philistines.”
David sendte derpaa Bud til Isjbosjet, Sauls Søn, og lod sige: »Giv mig min Hustru Mikal, som jeg blev trolovet med for 100 Filisterforhuder!«
15 And Ish-Bosheth sends, and takes her from a man, from Phaltiel son of Laish,
Da sendte Isjbosjet Bud og lod hende hente hos hendes Mand Paltiel, Lajisj's Søn.
16 and her husband goes with her, going on and weeping behind her, to Bahurim, and Abner says to him, “Go, return”; and he turns back.
Hendes Mand fulgte hende grædende lige til Bahurim; her sagde Abner til ham: »Gaa nu hjem!« Saa vendte han hjem.
17 And the word of Abner was with [the] elderly of Israel, saying, “Thus far you have been seeking David for king over you,
Men Abner havde forhandlet med Israels Ældste og sagt: »Allerede tidligere ønskede I David til Konge;
18 and now, do [it], for YHWH has spoken of David saying, [It is] by the hand of my servant David to save My people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.”
saa gør nu Alvor af det! Thi HERREN har sagt om David: Ved min Tjener Davids Haand vil jeg frelse mit Folk Israel fra Filisternes og alle dets Fjenders Haand!«
19 And Abner also speaks in the ears of Benjamin, and Abner also goes to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that [is] good in the eyes of Israel, and in the eyes of all the house of Benjamin,
Abner talte ogsaa til Benjamin derom. Endelig gik Abner ogsaa til Hebron for at meddele David alt, hvad Israel og hele Benjamins Hus havde vedtaget.
20 and Abner comes to David, to Hebron, and twenty men [are] with him, and David makes a banquet for Abner and for the men who [are] with him.
Da Abner, fulgt af tyve Mænd, kom til David i Hebron, gjorde David Gæstebud for Abner og Mændene, som var med ham.
21 And Abner says to David, “I arise, and go, and gather the whole of Israel to my lord the king, and they make a covenant with you, and you have reigned over all that your soul desires”; and David sends Abner away, and he goes in peace.
Derpaa sagde Abner til David: »Lad mig bryde op og drage hen og samle hele Israel om min Herre Kongen, for at de kan slutte Pagt med dig, at du kan blive Konge over alt, hvad din Hu staar til!« Da lod David Abner rejse, og han drog bort i Fred.
22 And behold, the servants of David, and Joab, have come from the troop, and have brought much spoil with them, and Abner is not with David in Hebron, for he has sent him away, and he goes in peace;
Just da kom Davids Folk og Joab hjem fra et Strejftog og medførte et rigt Bytte; Abner var da ikke mere hos David i Hebron, thi David havde ladet ham rejse, og han var draget bort i Fred.
23 and Joab and all the host that [were] with him have come, and they declare to Joab, saying, “Abner son of Ner has come to the king, and he sends him away, and he goes in peace.”
Da nu Joab var vendt hjem med hele sin Hær, fik han at vide at Abner, Ners Søn, havde været hos Kongen, og at denne havde ladet ham rejse, saa han var draget bort i Fred.
24 And Joab comes to the king and says, “What have you done? Behold, Abner has come to you! Why [is] this—you have sent him away, and he is really gone?
Da gik Joab til Kongen og sagde: »Hvad har du gjort? Abner har jo været hos dig! Hvorfor lod du ham rejse, saa han frit kunde drage bort?
25 You have known Abner son of Ner, that he came to deceive you, and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you are doing.”
Indser du ikke, at Abner, Ners Søn, kun kom for at bedrage dig, udspejde din Færd og faa at vide, hvad du har for!«
26 And Joab goes out from David, and sends messengers after Abner, and they bring him back from the well of Sirah, and David did not know.
Saa gik Joab bort fra David og sendte uden Davids Vidende Sendebud efter Abner og de hentede ham tilbage fra Bor-Sira.
27 And Abner turns back to Hebron, and Joab turns him aside to the midst of the gate to speak with him quietly, and strikes him there in the fifth [rib]—and he dies—for the blood of his brother Asahel.
Og da Abner kom tilbage til Hebron, tog Joab ham til Side midt i Porten for at tale uhindret med ham; og der dræbte han ham ved et Stik i Underlivet for at hævne sin Broder Asa'els Blod.
28 And David hears afterward and says, “My kingdom and I [are] acquitted by YHWH for all time, from the blood of Abner son of Ner;
Da det siden kom David for Øre, sagde han: »Jeg og mit Rige er til evig Tid uden Skyld for HERREN i Abners, Ners Søns, Blod!
29 it stays on the head of Joab, and on all the house of his father, and there is not cut off from the house of Joab one who has discharging, and leprous, and laying hold on a staff, and falling by a sword, and lacking bread.”
Det komme over Joabs Hoved og over hele hans Fædrenehus; og Joabs Hus være aldrig frit for Folk, som lider af Flaad eller Spedalsk hed, gaar med Krykke eller falder for Sværdet eller mangler Brød!«
30 And Joab and his brother Abishai slew Abner because that he put their brother Asahel to death in Gibeon, in battle.
Men Joab og hans Broder Abisjaj havde slaaet Abner ihjel, fordi han havde fældet deres Broder Asa'el i Kampen ved Gibeon.
31 And David says to Joab, and to all the people who [are] with him, “Tear your garments, and gird on sackcloth, and mourn before Abner”; and King David is going after the bier.
Derpaa sagde David til Joab og alle Folkene, som fulgte ham: »Sønderriv eders Klæder, tag Sæk om eder og hold Klage over Abner!« Og Kong David gik selv bag efter Baaren.
32 And they bury Abner in Hebron, and the king lifts up his voice, and weeps at the grave of Abner, and all the people weep;
Og da man jordede Abner i Hebron, græd Kongen højt ved Abners Grav, og alt Folket græd med,
33 and the king laments for Abner and says, “Does Abner die as the death of a fool?
Da sang Kongen denne Klagesang over Abner: Skulde Abner dø en Daares Død?
34 Your hands not bound, And your feet not brought near to chains! You have fallen as one falling before sons of evil!” And all the people add to weep over him.
Dine Hænder var ikke bundne, dine Fødder ikke lagt i Lænker, du faldt, som man falder for Misdædere! Da græd hele Folket end mere over ham,
35 And all the people come to cause David to eat bread while yet day, and David swears, saying, “Thus God does to me, and thus He adds, for—before the going in of the sun, I taste no bread or any other thing.”
og da hele Folket kom for at faa David til at spise, medens det endnu var Dag, svor David: »Gud ramme mig baade med det ene og det andet, om jeg smager Brød eller noget andet, før Sol gaar ned!«
36 And all the people have discerned [it], and it is good in their eyes, as all that the king has done is good in the eyes of all the people;
Hele Folket lagde Mærke dertil, og det gjorde et godt Indtryk paa dem; alt, hvad Kongen foretog sig, gjorde et godt Indtryk paa alt Folket;
37 and all the people know, even all Israel, in that day, that it has not been from the king—to put Abner son of Ner to death.
og hele Folket og hele Israel skønnede den Dag, at Kongen ikke var Ophavsmand til Drabet paa Abner, Ners Søn.
38 And the king says to his servants, “Do you not know that a prince and a great one has fallen this day in Israel?
Og Kongen sagde til sine Folk: »Ved I ikke, af der i Dag er faldet en Øverste og Stormand i Israel?
39 And today I [am] tender, and an anointed king: and these men, sons of Zeruiah, [are] too hard for me; YHWH repays to the doer of the evil according to his evil.”
Men jeg er endnu for svag, skønt jeg er salvet til Konge, og disse Mænd, Zerujasønnerne, er mig for stærke. HERREN gengælde Udaadsmanden hans Skændselsdaad!«
