1 Samuel 19
1 And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should slay David. But Jonathan Saul’s son delighted much in David.
Og Saul talede til Jonathan, sin Søn, og til alle sine Tjenere, at de skulle slaa David ihjel; men Jonathan, Sauls Søn, fandt stort Behag i David.
2 And Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to slay thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:
Og Jonathan forkyndte David det og sagde: Min Fader Saul søger efter at slaa dig ihjel; saa var dig nu, kære, i Morgen, og bliv i Skjul og hold dig gemt!
3 and I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will commune with my father of thee; and if I see aught, I will tell thee.
Og jeg vil gaa ud og staa ved min Faders Side paa Marken, hvor du er, og jeg vil tale med min Fader om dig, og naar jeg har set, hvad det er, da vil jeg kundgøre dig det.
4 And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward very good:
Saa talede Jonathan godt om David til Saul sin Fader, og sagde til ham: Kongen synde ikke imod sin Tjener, imod David, thi han har ikke syndet imod dig, saa ere og hans Gerninger dig meget gode.
5 for he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great victory for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?
Thi han har sat sit Liv i sin Haand og slaget Filisteren, og Herren beredte en stor Frelse for al Israel, det har du set og glædedes derved; og hvorfor vil du synde imod uskyldigt Blod ved at ihjelslaa David uforskyldt?
6 And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As the LORD liveth, he shall not be put to death.
Da adlød Saul Jonathans Røst, og Saul svor; Saa vist som Herren lever, han skal ikke dødes.
7 And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan shewed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as beforetime.
Og Jonathan kaldte ad David, og Jonathan gav ham alle disse Ord til Kende; og Jonathan førte David til Saul, og han var for hans Ansigt som tilforn.
8 And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.
Og Krigen varede ved; og David drog ud og stred mod Filisterne og slog dem med et stort Slag, og de flyede for hans Ansigt.
9 And an evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David played with his hand.
Og den onde Aand fra Herren kom paa Saul, og han sad i sit Hus og havde sit Spyd i sin Haand, og David legede paa Strenge med Haanden.
10 And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence, and he smote the spear into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.
Og Saul søgte efter at stikke Spydet igennem David ind i Væggen; men denne gik bort fra Sauls Ansigt; og han stak Spydet i Væggen; saa flyede David og undkom den samme Nat.
11 And Saul sent messengers unto David’s house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David’s wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to-night, tomorrow thou shalt be slain.
Og Saul sendte Bud til Davids Hus for at vare paa ham og at slaa ham ihjel om Morgenen; men Mikal, hans Hustru, forkyndte David det og sagde: Dersom du ikke redder dit Liv i Nat, bliver du dræbt i Morgen.
12 So Michal let David down through the window: and he went, and fled, and escaped;
Saa lod Mikal David ned igennem et Vindue, og han gik og flyede og undkom.
13 And Michal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ [hair] at the head thereof, and covered it with the clothes.
Og Mikal tog Gudebilledet og lagde det i Sengen og lagde et Gedeskind under dets Hoved og bedækkede det med et Klæde.
14 And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.
Da sendte Saul Bud for at lade David hente, og hun sagde: Han er syg.
15 And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.
Saa sendte Saul Bud hen at se David og sagde: Bærer ham op til mig i Sengen, at man kan slaa ham ihjel.
16 And when the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats’ [hair] at the head thereof.
Og Budene kom, og se, Gudebilledet laa i Sengen, og Gedeskindet under dets Hoved.
17 And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me thus, and let mine enemy go, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?
Da sagde Saul til Mikal: Hvorfor bedrog du mig saa og lod min Fjende fare, at han undkom? Og Mikal sagde til Saul: Han sagde til mig: Lad mig gaa, hvorfor skulde jeg slaa 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 dwelt in Naioth.
Og David flyede og undkom og kom til Samuel i Rama og gav ham alt det til Kende, som Saul havde gjort ham; og han og Samuel gik hen, og de bleve i Najoth.
19 And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.
Og det blev Saul tilkendegivet, og der sagdes: Se, David er i Najoth i Rama.
20 And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied;
Da sendte Saul Bud, at de skulde hente David, og de saa en Forsamling af Profeter, som profeterede, og Samuel, som var sat over dem, stod hos; og Guds Aand kom over Sauls Bud, saa at ogsaa de profeterede.
21 And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
Der de gave Saul det til Kende, da sendte han andre Bud, og de profeterede ogsaa; og Saul sendte ydermere tredje Gang Bud, og de profeterede ogsaa.
22 Then went he also to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.
Siden gik han selv til Rama, og der han kom til den store Brønd, som er i Seku, da spurgte han og sagde: Hvor er Samuel og David? og en sagde: Se, de ere i Najoth i Rama.
23 And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the spirit of God came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
Da gik han derhen til Najoth i Rama; og Guds Aand kom ogsaa over ham, og han vedblev at gaa og profetere, indtil han kom til Najoth i Rama.
24 And he also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?
Og han førte sig ogsaa af sine Klæder og profeterede ogsaa for Samuels Ansigt og kastede sig nøgen ned hele den Dag og hele den Nat; derfor siger man: Er Saul ogsaa iblandt Profeterne?
