1 Samuel 30
1 And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the South, and upon Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
Då nu David på tredje dagen kom till Ziklag med sina män, voro de Amalekiter der infallne söderut, och till Ziklag; och hade slagit Ziklag, och uppbränt med eld;
2 and had taken captive the women [and all] that were therein, both small and great: they slew not any, but carried them off, and went their way.
Och hade bortfört qvinnorna dädan, både små och stora; men de hade ingen slagit ihjäl, utan drifvit dem bort och voro sin väg.
3 And when David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
Då nu David med sina män kom till staden, och såg att han var uppbränd med eld, och deras hustrur, söner och döttrar fångne,
4 Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
Hof David och folket, som med honom var, deras röst upp, och greto, tilldess de icke mer gråta kunde.
5 And David’s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Ty Davids två hustrur voro ock fångna, Ahinoam den Jisreelitiskan, och Abigail, Nabals hustru, den Carmelitens.
6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
Och David var storliga bedröfvad; ty folket ville stena honom; ty hela folkens själ var bedröfvad, hvar och en öfver sina söner och döttrar. Men David stärkte sig i Herranom sinom Gud;
7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
Och sade till Presten AbJathar, Ahimelechs son: Bär mig fram lifkjortelen. Och då AbJathar hade burit fram lifkjorteln,
8 And David inquired of the LORD, saying, If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake [them], and shalt without fail recover [all].
Frågade David Herran, och sade: Skall jag jaga efter krigsfolket? och skall jag få dem fatt? Han sade: Jaga efter dem; du skall få dem fatt, och undsätta rofvet.
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
Så drog David åstad, och de sexhundrad män, som när honom voro. Och då de kommo till den bäcken Besor, blefvo någre ståndande;
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred stayed behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor:
Men David och fyrahundrad män jagade efter; och de tuhundrade män, som ståndande blefvo, hade försummat sig fara öfver bäcken Besor.
11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they gave him water to drink:
Och de funno en Egyptisk man på markene, den förde de till David, och gåfvo honom bröd, att han åt, och gåfvo honom vatten dricka;
12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins; and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
Och gåfvo honom ett stycke fikon, och tu stycke russin; och då han ätit hade, kom hans anda åter till honom; ty han hade i tre dagar och tre nätter intet bröd ätit, och intet vatten druckit.
13 And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.
David sade till honom: Hvem hörer du till? Och hvadan äst du? Han sade: Jag är en Egyptisk dräng, en Amalekiters tjenare, och min herre hafver öfvergifvit mig; ty jag vardt krank för tre dagar sedan.
14 We made a raid upon the South of the Cherethites, and upon that which belongeth to Judah, and upon the South of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.
Vi vorom här infallne söder på Crethi, och uppå Juda, och söder på Caleb, och hafve bränt upp Ziklag med eld.
15 And David said to him, Wilt thou bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this troop.
David sade till honom: Vill du föra mig ned till det krigsfolket? Han sade: Svär mig vid Gud, att du icke slår mig ihjäl eller antvardar mig i mins herras hand, så vill jag föra dig ned till det krigsfolket.
16 And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad over all the ground, eating and drinking, and feasting, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
Och han förde dem ned; och si, de hade förstrött sig öfver hela jordena, åto och drucko, och fröjdade sig, för det stora bytets skull, som de tagit hade utu de Philisteers land, och utur Juda land.
17 And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels and fled.
Och David slog dem, ifrå morgonen allt intill aftonen, emot den andra dagen, så att ingen af dem undslapp, förutan fyrahundrade ynglingar, de satte sig uppå cameler, och flydde.
18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken: and David rescued his two wives.
Så undsatte då David allt det de Amalekiter tagit hade, och sina två hustrur.
19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David brought back all.
Och fattades ingen, hvarken liten eller stor, hvarken söner eller döttrar, eller af rofvet, eller hvad som helst de tagit hade; David hemtade det allt igen.
20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, [which] they drave before those [other] cattle, and said, This is David’s spoil.
Och David tog får och fä, och dref boskapen för sig, och de sade: Detta är Davids rof.
21 And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
Och då David kom till de tuhundrade män, som sig försummat hade efterfölja David, och voro blefne vid bäcken Besor, gingo de ut emot David, och folket, som med honom var; och David gick till folket, och helsade dem vänliga.
22 Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away and depart.
Då svarade de som onde och Belials män voro, ibland dem som med David dragne voro, och sade: Efter de icke foro med oss, skall man intet gifva dem af rofvet, som vi undsatt hafve; utan hvar och en tage sina hustru och sin barn, och gånge sin väg.
23 Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given unto us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
Då sade David: I skolen icke så göra, mine bröder, med det som Herren oss gifvit hafver, och hafver förvarat oss, och gifvit det krigsfolket i våra händer, som emot oss komne voro.
24 And who will hearken unto you in this matter? for as his share is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his share be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall share alike.
Ho skulle höra eder derutinnan? Sådana som deras del är, som voro neddragne i stridena, sådana skall ock deras del vara, som när tygen blifvit hafva, och skall lika bytt varda.
25 And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel, unto this day.
Detta är också ifrå den tiden och allt sedan vordet för en sed och rätt i Israel, intill denna dag.
26 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;
Och då David kom till Ziklag, sände han rofvet till de äldsta i Juda sina nästa, och sade: Si, der hafven I välsignelsen af Herrans fiendars rof;
27 To them which were in Beth-el, and to them which were in Ramoth of the South, and to them which were in Jattir;
Nämliga dem i BethEl, dem i Bamoth söderut, dem i Jathir,
28 and to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa;
Dem i Aroer, dem i Siphmoth, dem i Esthemoa,
29 and to them which were in Racal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites;
Dem i Rachal, dem i de Jerahmeeliters städer, dem i de Keniters städer,
30 and to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Cor-ashan, and to them which were in Athach;
Dem i Horma, dem i ChorAsan, dem i Atach,
31 and to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
Dem i Hebron, och allestäds der David vandrat hade med sina män.
