2 Samuel 2
1 Siden spurte David Herren: Skal jeg dra op til en av byene i Juda? Herren svarte: Gjør det! Da spurte David: Hvorhen skal jeg dra? Han svarte: Til Hebron.
And it was after thus and he enquired David by Yahweh - saying ¿ will I go up in one of [the] cities of Judah and he said Yahweh to him go up and he said David where? will I go up and he said Hebron towards.
2 Så drog David der op med sine to hustruer, Akinoam fra Jisre'el og Abiga'il, karmelitten Nabals hustru.
And he went up there David and also [the] two wives his Ahinoam the Jezreelite [woman] and Abigail [the] wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
3 Og de menn som var hos ham, lot David også dra der op, hver med sitt hus, og de bosatte sig i byene omkring Hebron.
And men his who [were] with him he brought up David each man and household his and they dwelt in [the] cities of Hebron.
4 Da kom Judas menn dit og salvet David til konge over Judas hus. Så kom det nogen og fortalte David at det var mennene i Jabes i Gilead som hadde begravet Saul.
And they came [the] people of Judah and they anointed there David to king over [the] house of Judah and people told to David saying [the] men of Jabesh Gilead who they buried Saul.
5 Da sendte David bud til mennene i Jabes i Gilead og lot si til dem: Velsignet være I av Herren, fordi I har gjort den kjærlighetsgjerning mot eders herre Saul å begrave ham!
And he sent David messengers to [the] people of Jabesh Gilead and he said to them [be] blessed you by Yahweh that you have done the loyalty this with lord your with Saul and you have buried him.
6 Så vise nu Herren sin miskunnhet og trofasthet mot eder, og jeg vil også gjøre vel mot eder, fordi I har gjort dette.
And now may he do Yahweh with you covenant loyalty and faithfulness and also I I will do with you the good this that you have done the thing this.
7 Så ta nu mot til eder og vær djerve menn! For vel er eders herre Saul død, men Judas hus har også salvet mig til konge over sig.
And now - let them be strong hands your and become sons of strength for he has died lord your Saul and also me they have anointed [the] house of Judah to king over them.
8 Men Abner, Ners sønn, Sauls hærfører, tok Isboset, Sauls sønn, og førte ham over til Mahana'im
And Abner [the] son of Ner [the] commander of [the] army which [belonged] to Saul he had taken Ish-bosheth [the] son of Saul and he had brought over him Mahanaim.
9 og gjorde ham til konge over Gilead og over asurittene og over Jisre'el og Efra'im og Benjamin og over hele Israel.
And he made king him to Gilead and to the Ashurite[s] and to Jezreel and over Ephraim and over Benjamin and over Israel all of it.
10 Isboset, Sauls sønn, var firti år gammel da han blev konge over Israel, og han regjerte i to år; det var bare Judas hus som holdt sig til David.
[was] a son of Forty year[s] Ish-bosheth [the] son of Saul when became king he over Israel and two years he reigned only [the] house of Judah they were after David.
11 Og hele den tid David var konge i Hebron over Judas hus, var syv år og seks måneder.
And it was [the] number of the days which he was David king in Hebron over [the] house of Judah seven years and six months.
12 Abner, Ners sønn, tok ut fra Mahana'im med Isbosets, Sauls sønns folk og drog til Gibeon.
And he went out Abner [the] son of Ner and [the] servants of Ish-bosheth [the] son of Saul from Mahanaim Gibeon towards.
13 Og Joab, Serujas sønn, og Davids folk drog også ut og traff sammen med dem ved Gibeondammen; den ene flokk leiret sig på den ene side av dammen og den andre på den andre side.
And Joab [the] son of Zeruiah and [the] servants of David they went out and they met them at [the] pool of Gibeon together and they sat down these [men] at the pool from this and these [men] at the pool from this.
14 Da sa Abner til Joab: La de unge menn trede frem og holde en krigslek for våre øine! Joab svarte: Ja, la dem det!
And he said Abner to Joab let them arise please the young men and let them play before us and he said Joab let them arise.
15 Så reiste de sig og gikk frem i det fastsatte tall: tolv for Benjamin og Isboset, Sauls sønn, og tolv av Davids folk.
And they arose and they passed by by number two [plus] ten for Benjamin and for Ish-bosheth [the] son of Saul and two [plus] ten from [the] servants of David.
16 Og de grep hverandre i hodet og stakk sverdet i siden på hverandre, og så falt de alle sammen. Siden kaltes dette sted Helkat-Hassurim; det ligger ved Gibeon.
And they took hold each - on [the] head of neighbor his and sword his [was] in [the] side of neighbor his and they fell together and someone called the place that Helkath Hazzurim which [is] in Gibeon.
17 Striden blev meget hård den dag, og Abner og Israels menn blev slått av Davids folk.
And it was the battle severe up to muchness on the day that and he was defeated Abner and [the] men of Israel before [the] servants of David.
18 Der var Serujas tre sønner med: Joab og Abisai og Asael. Asael var lett på foten som et rådyr på marken.
And they were there three [the] sons of Zeruiah Joab and Abishai and Asahel and Asahel [was] swift on feet his like one of the gazelles which [are] in the open country.
19 Og Asael satte efter Abner og bøide ikke av hverken til høire eller til venstre, men holdt sig stadig i Abners spor.
And he pursued Asahel after Abner and not he turned aside to go to the right and to the left from after Abner.
20 Da vendte Abner sig om og sa: Er det du, Asael? Han svarte: Ja.
And he turned Abner behind him and he said ¿ you [is] this O Asahel and he said I.
21 Da sa Abner til ham: Bøi av, enten til høire eller til venstre! Grip en av de unge og ta hans rustning! Men Asael vilde ikke la være å forfølge ham.
And he said to him Abner turn aside for yourself to right your or to left your and seize for yourself one from the young men and take for yourself spoils his and not he was willing Asahel to turn aside from after him.
22 Da sa Abner atter til Asael: La være å forfølge mig! Vil du kanskje jeg skal slå dig til jorden? Hvorledes skulde jeg da kunne se din bror Joab i øinene?
And he repeated again Abner to say to Asahel turn aside for yourself from after me why? will I strike you [the] ground towards and how? will I lift up face my to Joab brother your.
23 Men han vilde ikke holde op; da stakk Abner ham med bakenden av sitt spyd i underlivet, så spydet gikk ut gjennem ryggen på ham, og han falt om der og døde på stedet. Og hver den som kom til det sted hvor Asael var falt og døde, stanset der.
And he refused to turn aside and he struck him Abner with [the] back end of the spear into the belly and it went out the spear from behind him and he fell there and he died (in place his *Q(K)*) and it was every [one] who came to the place where he fell there Asahel and he died and they stood still.
24 Joab og Abisai forfulgte Abner; og da solen var gått ned, kom de til Amma-haugen, som ligger midt imot Giah på veien til Gibeons ørken.
And they pursued Joab and Abishai after Abner and the sun it set and they they came to [the] hill of Ammah which [is] on [the] face of Giah [the] way of [the] wilderness of Gibeon.
25 Men Benjamins barn samlet sig i én flokk om Abner og stilte sig på toppen av en haug.
And they gathered together [the] descendants of Benjamin behind Abner and they became a band one and they stood on [the] top of a hill one.
26 Da ropte Abner til Joab: Skal sverdet aldri holde op å fortære? Skjønner du ikke at dette vil ende med sorg? Hvor lenge vil du vente før du byder dine folk at de skal holde op med å forfølge sine brødre?
And he called out Abner to Joab and he said ¿ to perpetuity will it devour [the] sword ¿ not do you know? that bitter it will be at the last and until when? not will you say to the people to turn back from after brothers their.
27 Joab svarte: Så sant Gud lever: Hadde du ingen ting sagt, da skulde folket allerede fra morgenen av være blitt ført bort, så ingen hadde forfulgt sin bror.
And he said Joab [by] [the] life of God if if not you had spoken for then from the morning it had abandoned pursuit the people each from after brother his.
28 Så støtte Joab i basunen, og alt folket stanset og forfulgte ikke Israel lenger og blev heller ikke ved å stride mere.
And he gave a blast Joab on the trumpet and they stood all the people and not they pursued again after Israel and not they repeated again to wage war.
29 Abner og hans menn gikk gjennem ødemarken hele den natt; så satte de over Jordan og gikk gjennem hele Bitron og kom til Mahana'im.
And Abner and men his they went in the Arabah all the night that and they passed over the Jordan and they went all Bitron and they came Mahanaim.
30 Da Joab hadde holdt op med å forfølge Abner, samlet han alt folket, og der savnedes av Davids folk nitten mann foruten Asael.
And Joab he returned from after Abner and he gathered all the people and they were missed of [the] servants of David nine-teen man and Asah-el.
31 Men Davids folk hadde drept tre hundre og seksti mann av Benjamin og blandt Abners menn.
And [the] servants of David they had struck down of Benjamin and among [the] men of Abner three hundred and sixty man they had died.
32 Asael tok de op og begravde ham i hans fars grav i Betlehem. Joab og hans menn gikk hele natten og kom til Hebron da det begynte å dages.
And people lifted up Asahel and they buried him in [the] tomb of father his which [was] Beth-lehem and they went all the night Joab and men his and it became light for them at Hebron.
