< 2 Samuel 12 >
1 Og Herren sendte Natan til David. Da han kom inn til ham, sa han til ham: Det var to menn i en by, en rik og en fattig.
And he sent Yahweh Nathan to David and he came to him and he said to him two men they were in a city one one [was] rich and one [was] poor.
2 Den rike hadde småfe og storfe i mengdevis;
To [the] rich [man] it belonged flock[s] and herd[s] many very.
3 men den fattige hadde ikke annet enn et eneste lite lam, som han hadde kjøpt og fødd op; det vokste op hos ham sammen med hans barn; det åt av hans brød og drakk av hans beger og lå i hans fang og var som en datter for ham.
And [belonged] to the poor [man] not anything that except a ewe-lamb one small which he had acquired and he nourished it and it grew up with him and with children his together from morsel his it ate and from cup his it drank and in bosom his it lay down and it was to him like a daughter.
4 Så kom det en veifarende mann til den rike; men han nente ikke å ta noget av sitt småfe eller storfe og lage det til for den reisende som var kommet til ham, men tok den fattige manns lam og laget det til for den mann som var kommet til ham.
And he came a traveler to [the] man rich and he spared to take one of own sheep his and one of own cattle his to prepare for the traveler who had come to him and he took [the] ewe-lamb of the man poor and he prepared it for the man who had come to him.
5 Da optendtes Davids vrede høilig mot den mann, og han sa til Natan: Så sant Herren lever: Den mann som har gjort dette, er dødsens,
And it burned [the] anger of David on the man exceedingly and he said to Nathan [by] [the] life of Yahweh for [is] a son of death the man who did this.
6 og lammet skal han betale firedobbelt, fordi han gjorde dette og ikke viste barmhjertighet.
And the ewe-lamb he will restore fourfold consequence that he did the thing this and on that not he showed pity.
7 Da sa Natan til David: Du er mannen. Så sier Herren, Israels Gud: Jeg salvet dig til konge over Israel, og jeg fridde dig ut av Sauls hånd,
And he said Nathan to David you [are] the man thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel I I anointed you to king over Israel and I I delivered you from [the] hand of Saul.
8 og jeg gav dig din herres hus og din herres hustruer i din favn, og jeg gav dig Israels og Judas hus, og var det for lite, så vilde jeg ha gitt dig ennu mere, både det ene og det annet.
And I gave! to you [the] house of master your and [the] wives of master your in bosom your and I gave! to you [the] house of Israel and Judah and if little and I will add to you like those and like those.
9 Hvorfor har du foraktet Herrens ord og gjort hvad som er ondt i hans øine? Hetitten Uria har du slått med sverdet; hans hustru har du tatt til hustru for dig selv, og ham har du drept med Ammons barns sverd.
Why? have you despised - [the] word of Yahweh by doing the evil (in eyes my *Q(K)*) Uriah the Hittite you struck down with the sword and wife his you took for yourself to a wife and him you killed with [the] sword of [the] people of Ammon.
10 Så skal nu sverdet aldri vike fra ditt hus, fordi du har foraktet mig og tatt hetitten Urias hustru til hustru for dig selv.
And therefore not it will depart [the] sword from house your until perpetuity consequence for you despised me and you took [the] wife of Uriah the Hittite to become of you a wife.
11 Så sier Herren: Se, jeg lar ulykke komme over dig fra ditt eget hus; jeg vil ta dine hustruer for dine øine og gi dem til en annen mann, og han skal ligge hos dine hustruer, så solen her er vidne til det.
Thus - he says Yahweh here I [am] about to raise up on you calamity from own house your and I will take wives your to eyes your and I will give [them] to neighbor your and he will lie with wives your to [the] eyes of the sun this.
12 For det du gjorde, gjorde du i lønndom, men jeg vil gjøre dette for hele Israels øine og midt på lyse dagen.
For you you acted in secret and I I will do the thing this before all Israel and before the sun.
13 Da sa David til Natan: Jeg har syndet mot Herren. Og Natan sa til David: Så har også Herren borttatt din synd; du skal ikke dø.
And he said David to Nathan I have sinned to Yahweh. And he said Nathan to David also Yahweh he has taken away sin your not you will die.
14 Men fordi du ved denne gjerning har gitt Herrens fiender årsak til å spotte, så skal også den sønn du har fått, visselig dø.
Nevertheless for indeed you have declared contemptible [the] enemies of Yahweh by the thing this also the son born to you certainly he will die.
15 Så gikk Natan hjem igjen, og Herren slo barnet som David hadde fått med Urias hustru, så det blev meget sykt.
And he went Nathan to house his and he struck Yahweh the child whom she had borne [the] wife of Uriah to David and he was sick.
16 Og David søkte Gud for barnets skyld, og David fastet strengt, og hver gang han gikk inn, blev han liggende på jorden hele natten.
And he sought David God for the lad and he fasted David a fast and he went and he passed [the] night and he lay (in the sackcloth *X*) [the] ground towards.
17 De eldste i hans hus kom og vilde reise ham op fra jorden; men han vilde ikke og åt ikke sammen med dem.
And they stood [the] elders of house his with him to raise him from the ground and not he was willing and not he ate with them food.
18 På den syvende dag døde barnet; men Davids tjenere torde ikke fortelle ham at barnet var død; de tenkte: Mens barnet var i live, talte vi til ham, men han hørte ikke på oss; hvorledes kan vi da nu si til ham at barnet er død? Han kunde gjøre en ulykke på sig.
And it was on the day seventh and he died the child and they were afraid [the] servants of David to tell to him - that he had died the child for they said here! when was the child alive we spoke to him and not he listened to voice our and how? will we say to him he has died the child and he will do harm.
19 Da David så at hans tjenere hvisket sig imellem, skjønte han at barnet var død; og han sa til sine tjenere: Er barnet død? De svarte: Ja, han er død.
And he saw David that servants his [were] whispering to one another and he understood David that he had died the child and he said David to servants his ¿ has he died the child and they said he has died.
20 Da stod David op fra jorden og tvettet sig og salvet sig og skiftet klær og gikk inn i Herrens hus og tilbad. Så gikk han hjem igjen og bad om mat, og de satte mat frem for ham, og han åt.
And he arose David from the ground and he bathed and he anointed himself and he changed (garments his *Q(K)*) and he went [the] house of Yahweh and he bowed down and he went to own house his and he asked and they set for him food and he ate.
21 Da sa hans tjenere til ham: Hvorledes er det du bærer dig at? Mens barnet var i live, fastet du og gråt for ham; men nu som barnet er død, står du op og eter.
And they said servants his to him what? [is] the thing this which you have done for sake of the child [was] alive you fasted and you wept and just when he died the child you arose and you ate food.
22 Han svarte: Så lenge barnet var i live, fastet jeg og gråt; for jeg tenkte: Hvem vet om ikke Herren forbarmer sig over mig, så barnet blir i live?
And he said while still the child [was] alive I fasted and I wept for I said who? [is] knowing (and he will show favor to me *Q(K)*) Yahweh and he will live the child.
23 Men nu som han er død, hvorfor skulde jeg nu faste? Kan jeg hente ham tilbake igjen? Jeg går til ham, men han vender ikke tilbake til mig.
And now - he has died why? this [am] I fasting ¿ am I able to bring back him again I [am] going to him and he not he will return to me.
24 David trøstet Batseba, sin hustru, og han gikk inn til henne og lå hos henne; og hun fødte en sønn, som han kalte Salomo. Og Herren elsket ham.
And he comforted David Bath-sheba wife his and he went into her and he lay with her and she bore a son (and she called *Q(K)*) name his Solomon and Yahweh he loved him.
25 og han sendte bud med profeten Natan, og han kalte ham Jedidja, for Herrens skyld.
And he sent by [the] hand of Nathan the prophet and he called name his Jedidiah for sake of Yahweh.
26 Joab stred mot Rabba i ammonittenes land og inntok kongestaden.
And he fought Joab against Rabbah of [the] people of Ammon and he captured [the] city of royalty.
27 Så sendte Joab bud til David og lot si: Jeg har stridt mot Rabba og inntatt vannbyen.
And he sent Joab messengers to David and he said I have fought against Rabbah also I have captured [the] city of the waters.
28 Samle nu du resten av folket og leir dig mot byen og innta den, så det ikke blir jeg som inntar byen, og mitt navn blir nevnt over den!
And therefore gather [the] rest of the people and encamp on the city and capture it lest I should take I the city and it will be called name my on it.
29 Da samlet David alt folket og drog til Rabba; og han stred mot det og inntok det.
And he gathered David all the people and he went Rabbah towards and he fought against it and he captured it.
30 Og han tok deres konges krone fra hans hode; den veide en talent gull, og der var på den en kostbar sten; nu kom den på Davids hode. Og det store hærfang han hadde tatt i byen, førte han med sig bort.
And he took [the] crown of king their from on head his and weight its [was] a talent of gold and a stone precious and it was on [the] head of David and [the] plunder of the city he brought out much very.
31 Og folket som bodde der, førte han ut og la dem under sager og treskesleder av jern og jernøkser og lot dem gå gjennem teglovner. Så gjorde han med alle Ammons barns byer. Derefter vendte David og alt folket tilbake til Jerusalem.
And the people which [was] in it he brought out and he set [them] at the saws and at [the] picks of iron and at [the] axes of iron and he caused to pass them (in the brick mold[s] *Q(K)*) and thus he did to all [the] cities of [the] people of Ammon and he returned David and all the people Jerusalem.
