2 Samuel 17
1 And he said Ahithophel to Absalom let me choose please two [plus] ten thousand man and I will arise and I will pursue after David this night.
Derpaa sagde Akitofel til Absalom; »Lad mig udvælge 12 000 Mand og bryde op i Nat og sætte efter David.
2 So I may come on him and he [will be] weary and slack of hands and I will terrify him and will flee all the people which [is] with him and I will strike down the king to only him.
Naar jeg overfalder ham, medens han er udmattet og modfalden, kan jeg indjage ham Skræk, og alle hans Folk vil flygte, saa at jeg kan fælde Kongen uden at røre nogen anden;
3 And I will bring back all the people to you as returns everything the man whom you [are] seeking all the people it will be peace.
saa bringer jeg hele Folket tilbage til dig, som en Brud vender tilbage til sin Mand. Du attraar jo dog kun en enkelt Mands Liv, og hele Folket vil da være uskadt!«
4 And it was pleasing the word in [the] eyes of Absalom and in [the] eyes of all [the] elders of Israel.
Det Forslag tiltalte Absalom og alle Israels Ældste.
5 And he said Absalom summon please also Hushai the Arkite so let us hear what? [is] in mouth his also he.
Men Absalom sagde: »Kald dog ogsaa Arkiten Husjaj hid, for at vi ogsaa kan høre, hvad han raader til!«
6 And he came Hushai to Absalom and he said Absalom to him saying according to the word this he has spoken Ahithophel ¿ will we do word his if not you speak.
Da Husjaj kom ind, sagde Absalom til ham: »Det og det har Akitofel sagt; skal vi følge hans Raad? Hvis ikke, saa sig du din Mening!«
7 And he said Hushai to Absalom not [is] good the counsel which he has counseled Ahithophel at the time this.
Husjaj svarede Absalom: »Denne Gang er Akitofels Raad ikke godt!«
8 And he said Hushai you you know father your and men his that [are] warriors they and [are] bitter of soul they like a bear robbed of cubs in the field and father your [is] a man of war and not he will pass [the] night with the people.
Og Husjaj sagde fremdeles: »Du ved, at din Fader og hans Mænd er Helte, og bitre i Hu er de som en Bjørn paa Marken, hvem Ungerne er taget fra; desuden er din Fader en rigtig Kriger, som ikke lægger sig til Hvile om Natten med Folkene.
9 There! now he [has] hidden himself in one of the ravines or in one of the places and it will be when falls among them at the first and he will hear the [one who] hears and he will say it has been a slaughter among the people which [is] after Absalom.
For Øjeblikket holder han sig sikkert skjult i en Kløft eller et andet Sted; falder der nu straks i Begyndelsen nogle af Folkene, vil det rygtes, og man vil sige, at Absaloms Tilhængere har lidt Nederlag;
10 And he also a son of strength whom heart his [is] like [the] heart of lion surely he will melt for [is] knowing all Israel that [is] a warrior father your and [are] sons of strength who [are] with him.
og da bliver selv den tapre, hvis Mod er som Løvens, forsagt; thi hele Israel ved, at din Fader er en Helt og hans Ledsagere tapre Mænd.
11 For I counsel certainly let it be gathered to you all Israel from Dan and to Beer Sheba like the sand which [is] at the sea for multitude and face your [will be] going in the battle.
Mit Raad er derfor: Lad hele Israel fra Dan til Be'ersjeba samles om dig, talrigt som Sandet ved Havet, og drag selv med i deres Midte.
12 And we will come against him (in one of *Q(k)*) the places where he is found there and we will set on him when it will fall the dew on the ground and not we will leave among him and among all the men who [are] with him also one.
Støder vi saa paa ham et eller andet Sted, hvor han nu befinder sig, kan vi falde over ham som Dug over Jorden, og der skal ikke blive en eneste tilbage, hverken han eller nogen af alle hans Mænd;
13 And if into a city he will be gathered and they will cause to bring all Israel to the city that ropes and we will drag him to the wadi until that not it has been found there also a pebble.
men kaster han sig ind i en By, skal hele Israel lægge Reb om den, og vi vil slæbe den ned i Dalen, saa der ikke bliver Sten paa Sten tilbage af den!« Da sagde Absalom og alle Israels Mænd: »Arkiten Husjajs Raad er bedre end Akitofels!«
14 And he said Absalom and every man of Israel [is] good [the] counsel of Hushai the Arkite more than [the] counsel of Ahithophel and Yahweh he had commanded to frustrate [the] counsel of Ahithophel good in order to bring Yahweh to Absalom calamity.
HERREN havde nemlig sat sig for at gøre Akitofels gode Raad til Skamme, for at HERREN kunde bringe Ulykke over Absalom.
15 And he said Hushai to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests like this and like this he has counseled Ahithophel Absalom and [the] elders of Israel and like this and like this I have counseled I.
Derpaa sagde Husjaj til Præsterne Zadok og Ebjatar: »Det og det Raad har Akitofel givet Absalom og Israels Ældste, og det og det Raad har jeg givet.
16 And therefore send quickly and tell to David saying may not you pass [the] night this night at [the] desert plains of the wilderness and also certainly you will pass over lest it should be swallowed up to the king and to all the people which [is] with him.
Skynd eder nu at sende Bud til David og bring ham det Bud: Bliv ikke Natten over ved Vadestederne paa Jordansletten, men søg over paa den anden Side, for at ikke Kongen og alle hans Folk skal gaa til Grunde!«
17 And Jonathan and Ahimaaz [were] staying at En Rogel and she went the maidservant and she told to them and they they went and they told to the king David for not they were able to be seen to go the city towards.
Jonatan og Ahima'az stod ved Rogelkilden, hvorhen en Tjenestepige til Stadighed kom og bragte dem Melding, hvorefter de gik hen og bragte Kong David Melding; thi de turde ikke vise sig i Byen.
18 And he saw them a young man and he told to Absalom and they went [the] two of them quickly and they came - to [the] house of a man in Bahurim and [belonged] to him a well in courtyard his and they went down there.
Men en ung Mand opdagede dem og meldte det til Absalom; saa skyndte de sig begge bort og kom ind hos en Mand i Bahurim. Han havde en Brønd i Gaarden, og i den steg de ned;
19 And she took the woman and she spread out the covering on [the] face of the well and she spread on it the grain[s] and not it was known anything.
Konen tog et Tæppe, bredte det ud over Brønden og hældte Korn derpaa, saa at man intet kunde opdage.
20 And they came [the] servants of Absalom to the woman the house towards and they said where? [are] Ahimaaz and Jonathan and she said to them the woman they have passed over [the] brook of water and they sought [them] and not they found [them] and they returned Jerusalem.
Nu kom Absaloms Folk imod i Huset til Konen og spurgte: »Hvor er Ahima'az og Jonatan?« Konen svarede: »De gik over Vandbækken!« Saa søgte de efter dem, men da de ikke fandt dem, vendte de tilbage til Jerusalem.
21 And it was - after had gone they and they came up from the well and they went and they told to the king David and they said to David arise and pass over quickly the water for thus he has counseled on you Ahithophel.
Saa snart de var gaaet bort, steg de to op af Brønden og gik hen og bragte Kong David Melding; og de sagde til David: »Bryd op og skynd eder over paa den anden Side af Vandet; thi det og det Raad kom Akitofel med angaaende eder!«
22 And he arose David and all the people which [was] with him and they passed over the Jordan until [the] light of the morning up to one [person] not [was] missing who not he had passed over the Jordan.
Da brød David op med alle sine Folk og satte over Jordan; og ved Daggry manglede ikke en eneste, alle var de kommet over Jordan.
23 And Ahithophel he saw that not it was done counsel his and he saddled the donkey and he arose and he went to house his to city his and he commanded concerning household his and he hanged himself and he died and he was buried in [the] tomb of father his.
Men da Akitofel saa, at hans Raad ikke blev fulgt, sadlede han sit Æsel og drog hjem til sin By; og efter at have beskikket sit Hus hængte han sig og døde. Han blev jordet i sin Faders Grav.
24 And David he had gone Mahanaim towards and Absalom he had passed over the Jordan he and every man of Israel with him.
David havde naaet Mahanajim, da Absalom tillige med alle Israels Mænd gik over Jordan.
25 And Amasa he had appointed Absalom in place of Joab over the army and Amasa [was] a son of a man and name his [was] Jether the Israelite who he had gone into Abigail [the] daughter of Nahash [the] sister of Zeruiah [the] mother of Joab.
Absalom havde i Joabs Sted sat Amasa over Hæren; Amasa var Søn af en Ismaelit ved Navn Jitra, som var gaaet ind til Abigajil, en Datter af Isaj og Søster til Joabs Moder Zeruja.
26 And it encamped Israel and Absalom [the] land of Gilead.
Og Israel og Absalom slog Lejr i Gilead.
27 And it was when came David Mahanaim towards and Shobi [the] son of Nahash from Rabbah of [the] people of Ammon and Makir [the] son of Ammiel from Lo Debar and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim.
Men da David kom til Mahanajim, bragte Sjobi, Nahasj's Søn fra Rabba i Ammon, Makir, Ammiels Søn fra Lodebar, og Gileaditen Barzillaj fra Rogelim
28 Bed[s] and basins and a vessel of a potter and wheat and barley and flour and roasted grain and bean[s] and lentils and roasted grain.
Senge, Tæpper, Skaale og Lerkar; og Hvede, Byg, Mel, ristet Korn, Bønner, Linser,
29 And honey and curd and sheep and cheese of [the] herd they brought for David and for the people which [was] with him to eat for they said the people [is] hungry and weary and thirsty in the wilderness.
Honning, Surmælk, Smaakvæg og Komælksost bragte de David og hans Folk til Føde; thi de tænkte: »Folkene er sultne, udmattede og tørstige i Ørkenen.«
