2 Samuel 16
1 When David [and the others] had gone a little way past the top of the hill, Mephibosheth’s servant Ziba met him. He had with him two donkeys that were carrying 200 loaves of bread, 100 bunches/clusters of raisins, 100 bunches of fresh fruit, and a leather bag full of wine.
Da David var kommet lidt paa den anden Side af Bjergets Top, Kom Mefibosjets Tjener Ziba ham i Møde med et Par opsadlede Æsler, som bar 200 Brød, 100 Rosinkager, 100 Frugter og en Dunk Vin.
2 The king said to Ziba, “What are these for?” Ziba replied, “The donkeys are for your family to ride on, the bread and the fruit are for your soldiers to eat, and the wine is for them to drink when they become exhausted in the desert.”
Da sagde Kongen til Ziba: »Hvad vil du med det?« Og Ziba svarede: »Æslerne er bestemt til Ridedyr for Kongens Hus, Brødene og Frugterne til Spise for Folkene og Vinen til Drikke for dem, der bliver trætte i Ørkenen!«
3 The king said, “Where is Mephibosheth, the grandson of your [former] master [Saul]?” Ziba [deceived David by] saying, “He stayed in Jerusalem, because he thinks that now the Israeli people will allow him to rule the kingdom that his grandfather Saul ruled.”
Saa sagde Kongen: »Hvor er din Herres Søn?« Ziba svarede Kongen: »Han blev i Jerusalem; thi han tænkte: Nu vil Israels Hus give mig min Faders Kongedømme tilbage!«
4 The king said to Ziba, “Okay, everything that belonged to Mephibosheth is now yours.” Ziba replied, “Your Majesty, I will humbly serve you; and I desire/hope that you will always be pleased with me.”
Da sagde Kongen til Ziba: »Dig skal hele Mefibosjets Ejendom tilhøre!« Og Ziba sagde: »Jeg bøjer mig dybt! Maatte jeg finde Naade for min Herre Kongens Øjne!«
5 When King David [and those with him] arrived at Bahurim [town], a man named Shimei met him. Shimei, whose father was Gera, was one of Saul’s relatives. Shimei was cursing David as he approached.
Men da Kong David kom til Bahurim, se, da kom en Mand ved Navn Simeï, Geras Søn, af samme Slægt som Sauls Hus, gaaende ud af Byen, alt imedens han udstødte Forbandelser,
6 Then he threw stones at David and his officials, even though the officials and David’s bodyguards surrounded David.
og han kastede Sten efter David og alle Kong Davids Folk, skønt alle Krigerne og alle Kærnetropperne gik paa begge Sider af ham.
7 Shimei cursed David and said to him, “Get out of here, you murderer, you scoundrel!
Og Simeï forbandede ham med de Ord: »Bort, bort med dig, din Blodhund, din Usling!
8 Yahweh is (getting revenge on/punishing) you all for murdering [MTY] many people in Saul’s family. And now he is giving Saul’s kingdom to your son Absalom. You murderer, you are being paid back for the many people that you have killed/murdered [MTY]!”
HERREN har nu bragt alt Sauls Hus's Blod over dig, han, i hvis Sted du blev Konge, og HERREN har nu givet din Søn Absalom Kongedømmet; nu har Ulykken ramt dig, fordi du er en Blodhund!«
9 Then Abishai said to the king, “Your Majesty, this man is [as worthless as] [MET] a dead dog! (Why should he be allowed to curse you?/He should not be allowed to curse you.) [RHQ] Allow me to go over there and cut off his head!”
Da sagde Abisjaj, Zerujas Søn, til Kongen: »Hvorfor skal den døde Hund have Lov at forbande min Herre Kongen? Lad mig gaa hen og hugge Hovedet af ham!«
10 But the king replied, “You two sons of Zeruiah, (do not tell me what to do/this does not concern you) [RHQ]. If he is cursing me because Yahweh told him to do that, certainly no one should say ‘(Why are you doing that?/You should not be doing that.) [RHQ]’”
Men Kongen svarede: »Hvad har jeg med eder at gøre, Zerujasønner! Naar han forbander, og naar HERREN har budt ham at forbande David, hvem tør da sige: Hvorfor gør du det?«
11 Then David said to Abishai and to all his officials, “You know that my own son is trying to kill me. So [it is not surprising that] this man from the tribe of Benjamin is also trying to kill me. So ignore him, and allow him to curse me, because [perhaps he thinks that] Yahweh told him to do that.
Og David sagde til Abisjaj og alle sine Folk: »Naar min egen Søn, som er udgaaet af min Lænd, staar mig efter Livet, hvad kan man da ikke vente af denne Benjaminit! Lad ham kun forbande, naar HERREN har budt ham det!
12 Perhaps Yahweh will see that I am having all this trouble, and [some day he will repay me by] (blessing/doing good things for) me in return for this man cursing me today.”
Maaske vil HERREN se til mig i min Nød og gøre mig godt til Gengæld for hans Forbandelse i Dag!«
13 Then David and those who were with him walked along the road, and Shimei continued walking along the hillside near him. While he walked along, he cursed David and threw stones and dirt at him.
Derpaa gik David med sine Mænd hen ad Vejen, medens Simeï fulgte ham oppe paa Bjergskraaningen og stadig udstødte Forbandelser, slog med Sten og kastede Støv efter ham.
14 When David and those who were with him arrived at the Jordan [River], they were very tired. So they rested there.
Saaledes kom Kongen og alle Krigerne, som fulgte ham, udmattede til Jordan og hvilede ud der.
15 While that was happening, Absalom and all the Israeli people who were with him had arrived in Jerusalem. Ahithophel had also arrived there.
Imidlertid var Absalom draget ind i Jerusalem med alle Israels Mænd, og Akitofel var hos ham.
16 When David’s friend Hushai came to Absalom, he said to Absalom, “I desire/hope that the king will live a long time! May you live for many years!”
Da nu Arkiten Husjaj, Davids Ven, kom til Absalom, sagde han til ham: »Kongen leve, Kongen leve!«
17 Absalom said to Hushai, “You have been loyal [RHQ] to your friend [David for a long time]. So why did you not go with him [instead of coming to me]?”
Absalom sagde til Husjaj: »Er det saadan, du viser din Ven Godhed? Hvorfor fulgte du ikke din Ven?«
18 Hushai replied, “I will serve the one whom Yahweh and these people and all the other people of Israel have chosen [to be their king]. So I will stay with you.
Husjaj svarede Absalom: »Nej, den, som HERREN og dette Folk og alle Israels Mænd har valgt, i hans Tjeneste vil jeg træde, og hos ham vil jeg blive!
19 You are my master [King David’s] son; if I do not serve you, what other man should I serve [RHQ]? I will serve you as I served your father.”
Og desuden: Hvem er det, jeg tjener? Mon ikke hans Søn? Som jeg har tjent din Fader, vil jeg tjene dig!«
20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “What do you advise that we should do?”
Absalom sagde saa til Akitofel: »Kom med eders Raad! Hvad skal vi gøre?«
21 Ahithophel replied, “Your father left some of his slave wives in the palace to take care of it. Have sex [EUP] with them. When everyone in Israel hears that you have done that, they will realize that you are acting very contemptuously toward your father. Then all those who are with you will be very encouraged.”
Akitofel svarede Absalom: »Gaa ind til din Faders Medhustruer, som han har ladet blive tilbage for at se efter Huset; saa kan hele Israel skønne, at du har lagt dig for Had hos din Fader, og alle de, der har sluttet sig til dig, vil faa nyt Mod!«
22 So they set up a tent for Absalom on the roof [of the palace]. And Absalom went into the tent and had sex [EUP] with his father’s slave wives, [one by one, ] and everyone [HYP] could see [him going into the tent].
Absaloms Telt blev saa rejst paa Taget, og Absalom gik ind til sin Faders Medhustruer i hele Israels Paasyn.
23 In those days, people accepted what Ahithophel recommended as though he were speaking the words of God. So just as David had always accepted what Ahithophel said, now Absalom did also.
Det Raad, Akitofel gav i de Tider, gjaldt nemlig lige saa meget, som naar man adspurgte Gud; saa meget gjaldt ethvert Raad af Akitofel baade hos David og Absalom.
