< 1 Chronicles 19 >
1 And it was after thus and he died Nahash [the] king of [the] people of Ammon and he reigned son his in place of him.
Nogen Tid efter døde Ammoniternes Konge Nahasj, og hans Søn Hanun blev Konge i hans Sted.
2 And he said David I will do loyalty - with Hanun [the] son of Nahash for he did father his with me loyalty and he sent David messengers to comfort him on father his and they came [the] servants of David into [the] land of [the] people of Ammon to Hanun to comfort him.
Da tænkte David: »Jeg vil vise Hanun, Nahasj's Søn, Venlighed, thi hans Fader viste mig Venlighed.« Og David sendte Folk for at vise ham Deltagelse i Anledning at hans Faders Død. Men da Davids Mænd kom til Ammoniternes Land til Hanun for at vise ham Deltagelse,
3 And they said [the] officials of [the] people of Ammon to Hanun ¿ [is] honoring David father your in view your for he has sent to you comforters ¿ not in order to explore and to overthrow and to spy out the land have they come servants his to you.
sagde Ammoniternes Høvdinger til Hanun: »Tror du virkelig, det er for at hædre din Fader, at David sender Bud og viser dig Deltagelse? Mon ikke det er for at udforske og ødelægge Landet og udspejde det, at hans Folk kommer til dig?«
4 And he took Hanun [the] servants of David and he shaved them and he cut off robes their in the middle to the buttock[s] and he sent away them.
Da tog Hanun Davids Folk og lod dem rage og Halvdelen af deres Klæder skære af til Skridtet, og derpaa lod han dem gaa.
5 And people went and they told to David on the men and he sent to meet them for they were the men humiliated exceedingly and he said the king remain at Jericho until that it will grow back beard your and you will return.
Da David fik Efterretning om Mændenes Behandling, sendte han dem et Bud i Møde; thi Mændene var blevet grovelig forhaanet; og Kongen lod sige: »Bliv i Jeriko, til eders Skæg er vokset ud!«
6 And they saw [the] people of Ammon that they had made themselves odious with David and he sent Hanun and [the] people of Ammon one thousand talent[s] of silver to hire for themselves from Aram Naharaim and from Aram Maacah and from Zobah chariotry and horsemen.
Men da Ammoniterne saa, at de havde lagt sig for Had hos David, sendte Hanun og Ammoniterne 1000 Talenter Sølv for at leje Vogne og Ryttere i Aram-Naharajim, Aram Ma'aka og Zoba;
7 And they hired for themselves two and thirty thousand chariot[s] and [the] king of Maacah and people his and they came and they encamped before Medeba and [the] people of Ammon they gathered from cities their and they came for battle.
og de lejede 32 000 Vogne og Kongen af Ma'aka med hans Folk, og de kom og slog Lejr uden for Medeba; imidlertid havde Ammoniterne samlet sig fra deres Byer og rykkede ud til Kamp.
8 And he heard David and he sent Joab and all [the] army the warriors.
Da David hørte det, sendte han Joab af Sted med hele Hæren og Kærnetropperne.
9 And they went out [the] people of Ammon and they deployed battle [the] entrance of the city and the kings who they had come to alone them [were] in the open country.
Ammoniterne rykkede saa ud og stillede sig op til Kamp ved Byens Port, medens Kongerne, der var kommet til, stod for sig selv paa aaben Mark.
10 And he saw Joab that it was [the] face of the battle against him face and back and he chose from every chosen [man] in Israel and he deployed to meet Aram.
Da Joab saa, at Angreb truede ham baade forfra og bagfra, gjorde han et Udvalg blandt alt Israels udsøgte Mandskab og tog Stilling over for Aramæerne,
11 And [the] rest of the people he put in [the] hand of Abishai brother his and they deployed to meet [the] people of Ammon.
medens han overlod Resten af Mandskabet til sin Broder Absjaj, og de tog Stilling over for Ammoniterne.
12 And he said if it will be [too] strong for me Aram and you will become for me deliverance. And if [the] people of Ammon they will be [too] strong for you and I will deliver you.
Og han sagde: »Hvis Aramæerne bliver mig for stærke, skal du ile mig til Hjælp; men bliver Ammoniterne dig for stærke, skal jeg hjælpe dig.
13 Be strong so let us show ourselves strong for people our and for [the] cities of God our and Yahweh the good in view his he will do.
Tag Mod til dig og lad os tappert værge vort Folk og vor Guds Byer — saa faar HERREN gøre, hvad ham tykkes godt!«
14 And he drew near Joab and the people which [was] with him before Aram for battle and they fled from before him.
Derpaa rykkede Joab frem med sine Folk til Kamp mod Aramæerne, og de flygtede for ham.
15 And [the] people of Ammon they saw that it had fled Aram and they fled also they from before Abishai brother his and they went the city towards and he went Joab Jerusalem.
Og da Ammoniterne saa, at Aramæerne tog Flugten, flygtede ogsaa de for hans Broder Absjaj og trak sig ind i Byen. Derpaa kom Joab til Jerusalem.
16 And it saw Aram that they had been defeated before Israel and they sent messengers and they brought out Aram which [was] from [the] other side of the river and Shophach [the] commander of [the] army of Hadadezer [was] before them.
Men da Aramæerne saa, at de var slaaet af Israel, sendte de Bud og fik Aramæerne hinsides Floden til at rykke ud med Sjofak, Hadar'ezers Hærfører, i Spidsen.
17 And it was told to David and he gathered all Israel and he passed over the Jordan and he came to them and he deployed against them and he deployed David to meet Aram battle and they fought with him.
Da David fik Efterretning herom, samlede han hele Israel, satte over Jordan og kom til Helam, hvor David stillede sig op til Kamp mod Aramæerne, og de angreb ham.
18 And it fled Aram from to before Israel and he killed David of Aram seven thousand charioteer[s] and forty thousand man on foot and Shophach [the] commander of the army he killed.
Men Aramæerne flygtede for Israel, og David nedhuggede 7000 Stridsheste og 40 000 Mand Fodfolk af Aram; ogsaa Hærføreren Sjofak huggede han ned.
19 And they saw [the] servants of Hadadezer that they had been defeated before Israel and they made peace with David and they served him and not it was willing Aram to deliver [the] people of Ammon again.
Da alle Hadar'ezers Lydkonger saa, at de var slaaet af Israel, sluttede de Fred med David og underkastede sig, og Aramæerne vilde ikke hjælpe Ammoniterne mere.
