1 Samuel 19
1 Saul said to Jonathan his son and to all his servants that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul's son, took great pleasure in David.
Saul talte nu med sin Søn Jonatan og alle sine Folk om at slå David ihjel. Men Sauls Søn Jonatan holdt meget af David.
2 So Jonathan told David, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Therefore be on your guard in the morning and hide yourself in a secret place.
Derfor fortalte Jonatan David det og sagde: "Min Fader Saul står dig efter Livet; tag dig derfor i Vare i Morgen, gem dig og hold dig skjult!
3 I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak with my father about you. If I learn anything, I will tell you.”
Men jeg vil gå ud og stille mig hen hos min Fader på Marken der, hvor du er; så vil jeg tale til ham om dig, og hvis jeg mærker noget, vil jeg lade dig det vide."
4 Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Do not let the king sin against his servant David. For he has not sinned against you, and his deeds have brought you good.
Så talte Jonatan Davids Sag hos sin Fader Saul og sagde til ham: "Kongen forsynde sig ikke mod sin Træl David; thi han har ikke forsyndet sig mod dig, og hvad han har udrettet, har gavnet dig meget;
5 For he took his life in his hand and killed the Philistine. Yahweh brought about a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David for no reason?”
han vovede Livet for at dræbe Filisteren, og HERREN gav hele Israel en stor Sejr. Du så det selv og glædede dig derover; hvorfor vil du da forsynde dig ved uskyldigt Blod og dræbe David uden Grund?"
6 Saul listened to Jonathan. Saul swore, “As Yahweh lives, he will not be put to death.”
Og Saul lyttede til Jonatans Ord, og Saul svor: "Så sandt HERREN lever, han skal ikke blive dræbt!"
7 Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these things. Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.
Derpå lod Jonatan David hente og fortalte ham det hele; og Jonatan førte David til Saul, og han var om ham som før.
8 There was war again, and David went out and fought with the Philistines and defeated them with a great slaughter. They fled before him.
Men Krigen fortsattes, og David drog i Kamp mod Filisterne og tilføjede dem et stort Nederlag, så de flygtede for ham.
9 A harmful spirit from Yahweh came on Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand, and as David was playing his instrument.
Da kom der en ond Ånd fra HERREN over Saul, og engang han sad i sit Hus med sit Spyd i Hånden, medens David legede på Strengene,
10 Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away from Saul's presence, so that Saul drove the spear into the wall. David fled and escaped that night.
søgte Saul at spidde David til Væggen med Spydet; men han veg til Side for Saul, så han jog Spydet i Væggen, medens David flygtede og undslap.
11 Saul sent messengers to David's house to watch him that he might kill him in the morning. Michal, David's wife, told him, “If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”
Om Natten sendte Saul Folk til Davids Hus for at passe på ham og dræbe ham om Morgenen. Men Davids Hustru Mikal røbede ham det og sagde: "Hvis du ikke redder dit Liv i Nat, er du dødsens i Morgen!"
12 So Michal let David down through the window. He went and fled, and escaped.
Så hejste Mikal David ned igennem Vinduet, og han flygtede bort og undslap.
13 Michal took a household idol and laid it in the bed. Then she put a pillow of goats' hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes.
Derpå tog Mikal Husguden, lagde den i Sengen, bredte et Gedehårsnet over Hovedet på den og dækkede den til med et Tæppe.
14 When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.”
Da nu Saul sendte Folk hen for at hente David, sagde hun: "Han er syg."
15 Then Saul sent the messengers to see David; he said, “Bring him up to me in the bed, so that I may kill him.”
Men Saul sendte Sendebudene hen for at se David, idet han sagde: "Bring ham på Sengen op til mig, for at jeg kan dræbe ham!"
16 When the messengers came in, behold, the household idol was in the bed along with the pillow of goats' hair at its head.
Da Sendebudene kom derhen, opdagede de, at det var Husguden, der lå i Sengen med Gedehårsnettet over Hovedet.
17 Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?” Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, 'Let me go. Why should I kill you?'”
Da sagde Saul til Mikal: "Hvorfor førte du mig således bag Lyset og hjalp min fjende bort, så han undslap?" Mikal svarede Saul:"Han sagde til mig: Hjælp mig bort, ellers slår jeg dig ihjel!"
18 Now David fled and escaped, and went to Samuel in Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth.
Men David var flygtet og havde bragt sig i Sikkerhed. Derpå gik han til Samuel i Rama og fortalte ham alt, hvad Saul havde gjort imod ham; og han og Samuel gik hen og tog Ophold i Najot.
19 It was told to Saul, saying, “See, David is at Naioth in Ramah.”
Da nu Saul fik at vide, at David var i Najot i Rama,
20 Then Saul sent messengers to capture David. When they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came on the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
sendte han Folk ud for at hente David; men da de så Profetskaren i profetisk Henrykkelse og Samuel stående hos dem, kom Guds Ånd over Sauls Sendebud, så at også de faldt i profetisk Henrykkelse.
21 When Saul was told this, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. So Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
Da Saul hørte det, sendte han andre Folk af Sted; men også de faldt i Henrykkelse. Så sendte Saul på ny, tredje Gang, Folk af Sted; men også de faldt i Henrykkelse.
22 Then he also went to Ramah and came to the deep well that is in Seku. He asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” Someone said, “See, they are at Naioth in Ramah.”
Da begav han sig selv til Rama, og da han kom til Cisternen på Tærskepladsen, som ligger på den nøgne Høj, spurgte han: "Hvor er Samuel og David?" Man svarede: "I Najot i Rama!"
23 Saul went to Naioth in Ramah. Then the Spirit of God came upon him, and as he went he prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
Men da han gik derfra til Najot i Rama, kom Guds Ånd også over ham, og han gik i Henrykkelse hele Vejen, lige til han nåede Najot i Rama.
24 He stripped off his clothes and also prophesied before Samuel. He lay naked all that day and all that night. This is why they ask, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
Da rev også han sine Klæder af sig, og han var i Henrykkelse foran Samuel og faldt nøgen om og blev liggende således hele den Dag og den følgende Nat. Derfor hedder det: "Er også Saul iblandt Profeterne?"
