1 Samuel 19
1 Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Saul's son Jonathan liked David very much.
Saul talte nu med sin Søn Jonatan og alle sine Folk om at slaa David ihjel. Men Sauls Søn Jonatan holdt meget af David.
2 So Jonathan told David, saying, "Saul seeks to kill you. Please take care of yourself in the morning, and keep hidden in a secret place.
Derfor fortalte Jonatan David det og sagde: »Min Fader Saul staar dig efter Livet; tag dig derfor i Vare i Morgen, gem dig og hold dig skjult!
3 I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, I will tell you."
Men jeg vil gaa ud og stille mig hen hos min Fader paa Marken der, hvor du er; saa vil jeg tale til ham om dig, og hvis jeg mærker noget, vil jeg lade dig det vide.«
4 Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, "Do not let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you;
Saa 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 for he put his life in his hand, and struck the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?"
han vovede Livet for at dræbe Filisteren, og HERREN gav hele Israel en stor Sejr. Du saa det selv og glædede dig derover; hvorfor vil du da forsynde dig ved uskyldigt Blod og dræbe David uden Grund?«
6 Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swore, "As the LORD lives, he shall not be put to death."
Og Saul lyttede til Jonatans Ord, og Saul svor: »Saa sandt HERREN lever, han skal ikke blive dræbt!«
7 Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as before.
Derpaa lod Jonatan David hente og fortalte ham det hele; og Jonatan førte David til Saul, og han var om ham som før.
8 There was war again. David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.
Men Krigen fortsattes, og David drog i Kamp mod Filisterne og tilføjede dem et stort Nederlag, saa de flygtede for ham.
9 A harmful spirit from the LORD was on Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.
Da kom der en ond Aand fra HERREN over Saul, og engang han sad i sit Hus med sit Spyd i Haanden, medens David legede paa Strengene,
10 Saul sought to pin David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he stuck the spear into the wall. David fled, and escaped that night.
søgte Saul at spidde David til Væggen med Spydet; men han veg til Side for Saul, saa han jog Spydet i Væggen, medens David flygtede og undslap.
11 Saul sent messengers to David's house, to watch him, and to kill him in the morning. Mikal, David's wife, told him, saying, "If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed."
Om Natten sendte Saul Folk til Davids Hus for at passe paa 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 So Mikal let David down through the window. He went, fled, and escaped.
Saa hejste Mikal David ned igennem Vinduet, og han flygtede bort og undslap.
13 Mikal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes.
Derpaa tog Mikal Husguden, lagde den i Sengen, bredte et Gedehaarsnet over Hovedet paa den og dækkede den til med et Tæppe.
14 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 Then he sent the messengers to see David, saying, "Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him."
Men Saul sendte Sendebudene hen for at se David, idet han sagde: »Bring ham paa Sengen op til mig, for at jeg kan dræbe ham!«
16 When the messengers came in, look, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats' hair at its head.
Da Sendebudene kom derhen, opdagede de, at det var Husguden, der laa i Sengen med Gedehaarsnettet over Hovedet.
17 Saul said to Mikal, "Why have you deceived me thus, and let my enemy go, so that he is escaped?" Mikal answered Saul, "He said, 'Let me go. Why should I kill you?'"
Da sagde Saul til Mikal: »Hvorfor førte du mig saaledes bag Lyset og hjalp min Fjende bort, saa han undslap?« Mikal svarede Saul: »Han sagde til mig: Hjælp mig bort, ellers slaar jeg dig ihjel!«
18 Now David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and lived in the dwellings.
Men David var flygtet og havde bragt sig i Sikkerhed. Derpaa 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 to Saul, saying, "Look, David is in the dwellings at Ramah."
Da nu Saul fik at vide, at David var i Najot i Rama,
20 And Saul sent messengers to capture David. But when they saw a company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they prophesied.
sendte han Folk ud for at hente David; men da de saa Profetskaren i profetisk Henrykkelse og Samuel staaende hos dem, kom Guds Aand over Sauls Sendebud, saa at ogsaa de faldt i profetisk Henrykkelse.
21 When it was told to Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
Da Saul hørte det, sendte han andre Folk af Sted; men ogsaa de faldt i Henrykkelse. Saa sendte Saul paa ny, tredje Gang, Folk af Sted; men ogsaa de faldt i Henrykkelse.
22 And Saul became very angry, and he himself also went to Ramah, and came to the cistern of the threshing floor that is on the bare hill. And he asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" And one said, "Look, they are in the dwellings at Ramah."
Da begav han sig selv til Rama, og da han kom til Cisternen paa Tærskepladsen, som ligger paa den nøgne Høj, spurgte han: »Hvor er Samuel og David?« Man svarede: »I Najot i Rama!«
23 So he went to the dwellings at Ramah. Then the Spirit of God came on him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to the dwellings in Ramah.
Men da han gik derfra til Najot i Rama, kom Guds Aand ogsaa over ham, og han gik i Henrykkelse hele Vejen, lige til han naaede Najot i Rama.
24 And he stripped off his clothes and prophesied before them, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Thus it is said, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
Da rev ogsaa han sine Klæder af sig, og han var i Henrykkelse foran Samuel og faldt nøgen om og blev liggende saaledes hele den Dag og den følgende Nat. Derfor hedder det: »Er ogsaa Saul iblandt Profeterne?«
