1 Samuel 22
1 So David left there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and all his father's house heard it, they went down there to him.
Derpå drog David bort derfra og Redde sig ind i Adullams Hule. Da hans Brødre og hele hans Faders Hus fik det at vide, kom de derned til ham.
2 Everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented—they all gathered to him. David became captain over them. There were about four hundred men with him.
Og alle Slags Mennesker, som var i Nød, flokkede sig om ham, forgældede Mennesker og Folk, som var bitre i Hu, og han blev deres Høvding. Henved 400 Mand sluttede sig til ham.
3 Then David went from there to Mizpah in Moab. He said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother go out with you until I know what God will do for me.”
Derfra drog David til Mizpe i Moab og sagde til Moabiternes Konge: "Lad min Fader og min Moder bo hos eder, indtil jeg får at vide, hvad Gud har for med mig!"
4 He left them with the king of Moab. His father and mother stayed with him the whole time that David was in his stronghold.
Han lod dem da tage Ophold hos Moabiternes Konge, og de boede hos ham, al den Tid David var i Klippeborgen.
5 Then the prophet Gad said to David, “Do not stay in your stronghold. Leave and go into the land of Judah.” So David left there and went into the forest of Hereth.
Men Profeten Gad sagde til David: "Du skal ikke blive i Klippeborgen; bryd op og drag til Judas Land!" Så drog David til Ja'ar-Heret.
6 Saul heard that David had been discovered, along with the men who were with him. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah under the tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing around him.
Nu kom dette Saul for Øre, thi David og de Mænd, han havde hos sig, havde vakt Opmærksomhed. Saul sad engang i Gibea under Tamarisken på Højen med sit Spyd i Hånden, omgivet af alle sine Folk.
7 Saul said to his servants who stood around him, “Listen now, people of Benjamin! Will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards? Will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,
Da sagde Saul til sine folk, som stod hos ham: "Hør dog, I Benjaminiter! Vil Isajs Søn give eder alle sammen Marker og Vingårde eller gøre eder alle til Tusind- og Hundredførere,
8 in exchange for all of you plotting against me? None of you informs me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse. None of you is sorry for me. None of you informs me that my son has incited my servant David against me. Today he hides and waits for me so he may attack me.”
siden I alle har sammensvoret eder imod mig, og ingen lod mig det vide, da min Søn sluttede Pagt med Isajs Søn? Ingen af eder havde Medfølelse med mig og lod mig vide, at min Søn havde fået min Træl til at optræde som min Fjende, som han nu gør."
9 Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered, “I saw the son of Jesse come to Nob, to Ahimelech son of Ahitub.
Da tog Edomiten Doeg, der stod blandt Sauls Folk, Ordet og sagde: "Jeg så, at Isajs Søn kom til Ahimelek, Ahitubs Søn, i Nob,
10 He prayed to Yahweh that he might help him, and he gave him provisions and the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”
og han rådspurgte HERREN for ham og gav ham Rejsetæring og Filisteren Goliats Sværd!"
11 Then the king sent someone to summon the priest Ahimelech son of Ahitub and all his father's house, the priests who were in Nob. All of them came to the king.
Da sendte Kongen Bud og lod Præsten Ahimelek, Ahitubs Søn, hente tillige med hele hans Fædrenehus, Præsterne i Nob; og da de alle var kommet til Kongen,
12 Saul said, “Listen now, son of Ahitub.” He answered, “Here I am, my master.”
sagde Saul: "Hør nu, Ahitubs Søn!" Han svarede: "Ja, Herre!"
13 Saul said to him, “Why have you plotted against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have prayed to God that he might help him, so that he might rise up against me, to hide in secret, as he does today?”
Da sagde Saul til ham: "Hvorfor sammensvor du og Isajs Søn eder imod mig? Du gav ham jo Brød og Sværd og rådspurgte Gud for ham, så at han kunde optræde som min Fjende, som han nu gør!"
14 Then Ahimelech answered the king and said, “Who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law and is over your bodyguard, and is honored in your house?
Ahimelek svarede Kongen:"Hvem blandt alle dine Folk er så betroet som David? Han er jo Kongens Svigersøn, Øverste for din Livvagt og højt æret i dit Hus?
15 Is today the first time I have prayed to God to help him? Far be it from me! Do not let the king impute anything to his servant or to all the house of my father. For your servant knows nothing of this whole matter.”
Er det første Gang, jeg har rådspurgt Gud for ham? Det være langt fra! Kongen må ikke lægge sin Træl eller hele mit Fædrenehus noget til Last, thi din Træl kendte ikke det mindste til noget af dette!"
16 The king replied, “You will surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father's house.”
Men Kongen sagde: "Du skal dø, Ahimelek, du og hele dit Fædrenehus!"
17 The king said to the guard that stood around him, “Turn and kill the priests of Yahweh. Because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, but did not reveal it to me.” But the servants of the king would not put out their hand to kill the priests of Yahweh.
Og Kongen sagde til Vagten, som stod hos ham: "Træd frem og dræb HERRENs Præster; thi de står også i Ledtog med David, og skønt de vidste, at han var på Flugt, gav de mig ikke Underretning derom!" Men Kongens Folk vilde ikke lægge Hånd på HERRENs Præster.
18 Then the king said to Doeg, “Turn and kill the priests.” So Doeg the Edomite turned and attacked the priests; he killed eighty-five persons who wore a linen ephod that day.
Da sagde Kongen til Doeg: "Træd du så frem og stød Præsterne ned!" Da trådte Edomiten Doeg frem og stødte Præsterne ned; han dræbte den Dag femogfirsindstyve Mænd, som bar Efod.
19 He also put to the sword Nob, the city of the priests; both men and women, children and infants, and oxen and donkeys and sheep he put to the sword.
Og Nob, Præsternes By, lod Kongen hugge ned med Sværdet. Mænd og Kvinder, Børn og diende, Hornkvæg, Æsler og Får.
20 But one of the sons of Ahimelech son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped and fled after David.
Kun een af Ahimeleks, Ahitubs Søns, Sønner ved Navn Ebjatar undslap og flygtede til David.
21 Abiathar told David that Saul had killed Yahweh's priests.
Og Ebjatar fortalte David, at Saul havde dræbt HERRENs Præster.
22 David said to Abiathar, “I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I am responsible for every death in your father's family!
Da sagde David til Ebjatar: "Jeg vidste dengang, at når Edomiten Doeg var der, vilde han give Saul Underretning derom! Jeg bærer Skylden for hele dit Fædrenehus's Død.
23 Stay with me and do not be afraid. For the one who seeks your life seeks mine as well. You will be safe with me.”
Bliv hos mig, frygt ikke! Den, som står dig efter Livet, står mig efter Livet, thi du står under min Varetægt."
