2 Samuel 5
1 Then came all the tribes of Israel to David to Hebron, and spoke, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.
Då kom alle Israels ætter til David i Hebron, og tala soleis: «Du veit me og du er same folket.
2 Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over Israel.
Alt lenge sidan, med Saul var kongen vår, so var du føraren for Israel. Og med deg hev Herren sagt: «Du skal vera hyrding for Israel, folket mitt! du skal vera fyrste yver Israel!»»
3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD: and they anointed David king over Israel.
Då alle dei øvste i Israel var komne til Hebron, til kongen, gjorde kong David samband med deim i Hebron for Herrens åsyn. Og dei salva David til konge yver Israel.
4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
Tretti år var David då han vart konge. Og han var konge i fyrti år.
5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.
I Hebron var han konge yver Juda i sju år og seks månader. I Jerusalem var han konge i tri og tretti år yver heile Israel og Juda.
6 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem to the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: who spoke to David, saying, Except thou shalt take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in here: thinking, David cannot come in there.
Kongen drog upp til Jerusalem med heren sin mot jebusitarne, som budde der i landet. Dei sagde då til David: «Hit inn vinn du ikkje koma! Jamvel blinde og lame folk kann driva deg burt berre med dei ordi: Hit kjem David ikkje!»
7 Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.
David tok like vel Sionsborgi. Den borgi vart Davidsbyen.
8 And David said on that day, Whoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that are hated by David’s soul, he shall be chief and captain. Therefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.
David gav den dagsordren: «Kvar ein som slær jebusitarne, lat honom ganga upp til vatsleidingi, og slå desse blinde og lame som ber David imot!» Difor plar dei segja: «Blind og lam kjem ikkje inn i huset.»
9 So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built around from Millo and inward.
David tok bustad der på borgi og kalla henne Davidsbyen. David bygde byen rundt ikring frå Millo og innetter.
10 And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him.
Davids velde auka stødt og stendigt. Og Herren, allhers Gud, var med honom.
11 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David an house.
Kong Hiram i Tyrus sende folk til David med cedertre og timbremenner og steinhoggarar. Dei bygde eit hus for David.
12 And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake.
Og David skyna at Herren hadde grunnfest kongedømet hans yver Israel, og lyft kongedømet hans upp til æra for Israel, folket sitt, skuld.
13 And David took more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.
David tok seg endå fleire fylgjekonor og konor frå Jerusalem, etter han var komen dit frå Hebron. Og David fekk endå fleire søner og døtter.
14 And these are the names of those that were born to him in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
Dei sønerne han fekk i Jerusalem heitte: Sammua, Sobab, Natan, Salomo,
15 Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
Jibhar, Elisua, Nefeg, Jafia,
16 And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.
Elisama, Eljada og Elifelet.
17 But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the strong hold.
Då filistarane frette at David var salva til konge yver Israel, drog alle filistarane upp og søkte åt honom. Då David spurde det, drog han ned til borgi.
18 The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
Filistarane kom og spreidde seg utyver i Refa’imsdalen.
19 And David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the LORD said to David, Go up: for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into thy hand.
Då gjorde David det spursmålet til Herren: «Skal eg draga upp mot filistarane? Vil du gjeva deim i mi hand?» Herren svara David: «Drag upp, eg vil gjeva filistarane i di hand.»
20 And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them there, and said, The LORD hath broken forth upon my enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baalperazim.
David kom til Ba’al-Perasim. Og der vann David yver deim. Då sagde han: «Herren hev brote igjenom uvenerne mine, liksom vatn bryt igjenom.» Det er difor staden hev fenge namnet Ba’al-Perasim.
21 And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them.
Dei let etter seg gudebilæti sine, og David og folki hans tok deim.
22 And the Philistines came yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
Endå ein gong drog filistarane upp og spreidde seg utyver i Refa’imsdalen.
23 And when David enquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but make a circuit behind them, and come upon them in front of the mulberry trees.
Då David spurde Herren, svara han: «Drag ikkje mot deim! Kringset deim attanfrå, so du fell yver deim frå den staden der bakatrei stend.
24 And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.
So snart du høyrer ljoden av stig i topparne på bakatrei, so må du springa fram. For då dreg Herren ut framfyre deg og vinn yver filistarheren!»
25 And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou comest to Gazer.
David gjorde som Herren baud; og han slo filistarane og forfylgde deim frå Geba heilt fram til Gezer.
