2 Samuel 20
1 And there he was met a man of worthlessness and name his [was] Sheba [the] son of Bicri a man a Jaminite and he gave a blast on the trumpet and he said not [belongs] to us a portion in David and not an inheritance [belongs] to us in [the] son of Jesse everyone to tents his O Israel.
Nu var der tilfældigvis en slet Person ved navn Sjeba, Bikris Søn, en Benjaminit. Han stødte i Hornet og sagde: "Vi har ingen Del i David, ingen Lod i Isajs Søn! Hver Mand til sine Telte, Israel!"
2 And he went up every man of Israel from after David after Sheba [the] son of Bicri and [the] man of Judah they clung to king their from the Jordan and to Jerusalem.
Da faldt alle Israels Mænd fra David og gik over til Sjeba, Bikris Søn, medens Judas Mænd trofast fulgle deres Konge fra Jordan til Jerusalem.
3 And he came David to house his Jerusalem and he took the king [the] ten women - concubines whom he had left to keep the house and he put them a house of confinement and he sustained them and into them not he went and they were locked up until [the] day died they widowhood of living.
Da David kom til sit Hus i Jerusalem, tog Kongen sine ti Medhustruer, som han havde ladet tilbage for at se efter Huset, og lod dem bringe til et bevogtet Hus, hvor han sørgede for deres Underhold; men han gik ikke mere ind til dem, og således levede de indespærret til deres Dødedag som Kvinder, der er Enker, skønt deres Mænd endnu lever.
4 And he said the king to Amasa summon to me [the] man of Judah three days and you here stand.
Derpå sagde Kongen til Amasa: "Stævn Judas Mænd sammen i Løbet af tre Dage og indfind dig da her!"
5 And he went Amasa to summon Judah (and he was delayed *Q(K)*) from the appointed time which he had appointed for him.
Amasa gik så bort for at stævne Judas Mænd sammen. Men da han tøvede ud over den fastsatte Frist,
6 And he said David to Abishai now he will be bad for us Sheba [the] son of Bicri more than Absalom you take [the] servants of master your and pursue after him lest he has found for himself cities fortified and he will tear out eye our.
sagde David til Abisjaj: "Nu bliver Sjeba, Bikris Søn, os farligere end Absalon! Tag derfor din Herres Folk og sæt efter ham, for at han ikke skal kaste sig ind i befæstede Byer og slippe fra os!"
7 And they went out after him [the] men of Joab and the Kerethite[s] and the Pelethite[s] and all the warriors and they went out from Jerusalem to pursue after Sheba [the] son of Bicri.
Med Abisjaj drog Joab, Kreterne og Pleterne og alle Kærnetropperne ud fra Jerusalem for at sætte efter Sjeba, Bikris Søn.
8 They [were] near the stone great which [is] in Gibeon and Amasa he came before them and Joab [was] girded - robe his clothing his (and over it *Q(k)*) a belt of a sword [was] fastened on loins his in sheath its and he he went forward and it fell.
Men da de var ved den store Sten i Gibeon, kom Amasa dem i Møde. Joab var iført sin Våbenkjortel, og over den havde han spændt et Sværd, hvis Skede var bundet til hans Lænd; og det gled ud og faldt til Jorden.
9 And he said Joab to Amasa ¿ peace [are] you O brother my and it took hold [the] hand of [the] right of Joab on [the] beard of Amasa to kiss him.
Joab sagde da til Amasa: "Går det dig vel, Broder?" Og Joab greb med højre Hånd om Amasas Skæg for at kysse ham.
10 And Amasa not he took heed to the sword - which [was] in [the] hand of Joab and he struck him with it into the belly and he poured out bowels his [the] ground towards and not he repeated to him and he died. And Joab and Abishai brother his he pursued after Sheba [the] son of Bicri.
Men Amasa tog sig ikke i Vare for det Sværd, Joab havde i sin venstre Hånd; Joab stødte det i Underlivet på ham, så hans Indvolde væltede ud på Jorden, og han døde ved det ene Stød. Derpå satte Joab og hans Broder Abisjaj efter Sjeba, Bikris Søn,
11 And a man he stood over him one of [the] young men of Joab and he said who? [is [the] one] who he delights in Joab and who? [is [the] one] who [belongs] to David after Joab.
medens en af Joabs Folk blev stående ved Amasa og råbte: "Enhver, der bryder sig om Joab og holder med David, følge efter Joab!"
12 And Amasa [was] wallowing in blood in [the] middle of (the highway *LA(bh)*) and he saw the man that it stopped all the people and he brought round Amasa from the highway the field and he threw over him a garment when he saw all who came on him and he stopped.
Men Amasa lå midt på Vejen, svømmende i sit Blod, og da Manden så, at alt Folket stod stille der, væltede han Amasa fra Vejen ind på Marken og kastede en Kappe over ham; thi han så, at alle, der kom forbi, stod stille.
13 When he had removed [him] from the highway he passed by every person after Joab to pursue after Sheba [the] son of Bicri.
Så snart han var fjernet fra Vejen, fulgte alle efter Joab for at sætte efter Sjeba, Bikris Søn.
14 And he passed in all [the] tribes of Israel Abel towards and Beth Maacah and all the Berites. (And they assembled *Q(K)*) and they went also after him.
Denne drog imidlertid gennem alle Israels Stammer indtil Abel-Bet-Ma'aka, og alle Bikriterne samlede sig og fulgte ham.
15 And they came and they laid siege on him in Abel Beth Maacah and they poured out a mound against the city and it stood by the rampart and all the people which [was] with Joab [were] about to destroy to make fall the wall.
Da kom de og belejrede ham i Abel-Bet-Ma'aka, idet de opkastede en Vold om Byen. Men medens alt Krigsfolket, der var med Joab, arbejdede på at bringe Muren til Fald,
16 And she called out a woman wise from the city listen listen say please to Joab draw near to here so let me speak to you.
trådte en klog Kvinde fra Byen hen på Formuren og råbte: "Hør, hør! Sig til Joab, at han skal komme herhen; jeg vil tale med ham!"
17 And he drew near to her and she said the woman ¿ [are] you Joab and he said I [am] and she said to him listen to [the] words of maidservant your and he said [am] listening I.
Da han kom hen til hende, spurgte Kvinden: "Er du Joab?" Og da han svarede ja, sagde hun: "Hør din Trælkvindes Ord!" Han svarede: "Jeg hører!"
18 And she said saying surely they spoke at the former [time] saying certainly they will ask at Abel and thus they ceased.
Så sagde hun: "I gamle Dage sagde man: Man spørge dog i Abel og Dan, om det er gået af Brug, hvad gode Folk i Israel vedtog!
19 I [am] [the] peaceful [ones] of [the] faithful [ones] of Israel you [are] seeking to kill a city and a mother in Israel why? will you swallow up [the] inheritance of Yahweh.
Og nu søger du at bringe Død over en By, som er en Moder i Israel! Hvorfor vil du ødelægge HERRENs Arvelod?"
20 And he answered Joab and he said far be it far be it to me if I will swallow up and if I will destroy.
Joab svarede: "Det være langt fra mig, det være langt fra mig at ødelægge eller volde Fordærv!
21 [is] not So the matter for a man from [the] hill country of Ephraim [who is] Sheba [the] son of Bicri name his he has lifted up hand his against the king against David give him to only him so let me go from on the city and she said the woman to Joab here! head his [is] about to be thrown to you behind the wall.
Således er det ingenlunde ment! Men en Mand fra Efraims Bjerge ved Navn Sjeba, Bikris Søn, har løftet sin Hånd mod Kong David; hvis I blot vil udlevere ham, bryder jeg op fra Byen!" Da sagde Kvinden til Joab: "Hans Hoved skal blive kastet ned til dig gennem Muren!"
22 And she went the woman to all the people with wisdom her and they cut off [the] head of Sheba [the] son of Bicri and they threw [it] to Joab and he gave a blast on the trumpet and they were scattered from on the city each to tents his and Joab he returned Jerusalem to the king.
Kvinden fik så ved sin Klogskab hele Byen overtalt til at hugge Hovedet af Sjeba, Bikris Søn, og de kastede det ned til Joab. Da stødte han; i Hornet, og de brød op fra Byen og spredte sig hver til sit, medens Joab selv vendte tilbage til Kongen i Jerusalem.
23 And Joab [was] to all the army of Israel and Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada [was] over (the Kerethite[s] *Q(K)*) and over the Pelethite[s].
Joab stod over hele Israels Hær; Benaja, Jojadas Søn, over Kreterne og Pleterne;
24 And Adoram [was] over the forced labor and Jehoshaphat [the] son of Ahilud [was] the recorder.
Adoniram havde Tilsynet med Hoveriarbejdet; Josjafat, Ahiluds Søn, var Kansler;
25 (And Sheva *Q(K)*) [was] secretary and Zadok and Abiathar [were] priests.
Sjeja var Statsskriver, Zadok og Ebjatar Præster;
26 And also Ira the Jairite he was a priest of David.
også Ja'iriten Ira var Præst hos David.
