1 Samuels 19
1 Saul tala med Jonatan, son sin, og med alle tenarane sine um å drepa David. Jonatan Saulsson heldt mykje av David;
And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that he would kill David. But Jonathan the son of Saul delighted greatly in David.
2 difor nemnde Jonatan dette med David og sagde: «Saul, far min, lurar på å drepa deg. Sjå deg fyre i morgon og haldt deg roleg på eit løynd stad, og gøym deg der!
And Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee; now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:
3 So vil eg ganga ut med far og standa med honom på marki der du er; eg vil nemna deg med far; og vert eg visare med noko, skal du få vita det.»
And I will go out and stand by the side of my father in the field where thou art, and I myself will speak of thee to my father; and I will see what it is, and I will tell thee.
4 Jonatan tala Davids sak hjå Saul, far sin, og sagde: «Kongen må ikkje gjera synd på David, tenaren sin. For han hev ikkje gjort synd mot deg. Tvert um; det han hev gjort, hev vore til stor bate for deg.
And Jonathan spoke favorably of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; since he hath not sinned against thee, and because his deeds are very good for thee;
5 Han våga livet og felte filistaren, og Herren gav so Israel ein stor siger. Du såg det sjølv og gledde deg. Kvifor skulde du gjera synd på skuldlaust blod og drepa David utan grunn?»
And he did put his life in his hand, and he slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great salvation for all Israel; thou sawest it, and wast rejoiced: wherefore then wilt thou commit sin on innocent blood, by slaying David without a cause?
6 Saul lydde Jonatan, son sin. Og Saul svor: «So sant Herren liver: Han skal ikkje lata livet!»
And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, As the Lord liveth, he shall not be put to death.
7 So ropa Jonatan på David og fortalde honom alt dette, og førde honom til Saul, og han var hjå honom som fyrr.
And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these words. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.
8 Då krigen tok til att, for David i herferd og stridde mot filistarane, og gjorde stort mannefall millom deim, og dei rømde for honom.
And the war occurred again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and smote them with a great defeat, and they fled from before him.
9 Då kom ei vond ånd frå Herren yver Saul, der han sat heime med spjot i handi, medan David leika på strengjerne.
And the evil spirit from the Lord came upon Saul, and he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.
10 Då freista Saul å renna spjotet gjenom David inn i veggen. Men han smatt undan, og spjotet for inn i veggen. Og David rømde og kom seg burt same natti.
And Saul sought to strike David through with the spear even to the wall; but he slipped away from before Saul, who struck the spear into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.
11 So sende Saul folk til heimen hans David; dei skulde vakta på honom og drepa honom um morgonen. Men Mikal, kona hans, fortalde honom det og sagde: «Bergar du ikkje livet i natt, so er du feig i morgon.»
But Saul sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning; and Michal his wife told it to David, saying, If thou save not thy life this night, tomorrow thou wilt be put to death.
12 So fira Mikal David ned gjenom vindauga; og han rømde, og berga seg undan.
And Michal let David down through the window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
13 So tok Mikal husguden og lagde i sengi, sette eit net av geitehår kring hovudet, og breidde åklædet yver.
And Michal took an image, and put it in the bed, and a pillow of goats' hair she put for its head to rest on, and covered it with a cloth.
14 Då no Saul sende folk til å henta David, sagde ho: «Han er sjuk.»
And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.
15 Saul sende då Saul folki til å finna David sjølv, og sagde: «Ber honom hit upp til meg i sengi, so me kann drepa honom!»
And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may put him to death.
16 Då folki kom inn, fekk dei sjå det var husguden som låg i sengi, med geitehårsnetet kring hovudet.
And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' hair for its head to rest on.
17 Saul spurde Mikal: «Kvi hev du svike meg soleis og late uvenen min koma seg undan?» Mikal svara Saul: «Han sagde til meg: «Hjelp meg burt! elles drep eg deg.»»
And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou thus deceived me, and sent away my enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal said to Saul, He said unto me, Let me go away: why should I kill thee?
18 Men David hadde rømt og berga seg undan. Han gjekk til Samuel i Rama, og fortalde honom alt det Saul hadde gjort honom. Og han og Samuel for til Nevajot og heldt seg der.
So David fled, and escaped, and came unto Samuel to Ramah, and he told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and remained in Nayoth.
19 Saul fekk vita at David var i Nevajot ved Rama.
And it was told unto Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Nayoth near Ramah.
20 Og Saul sende folk til å henta David. Men då sendemennerne fekk sjå profetlyden i profetisk eldhug og Samuel standa der og vera føraren deira, då kom Gudsåndi yver deim, og dei kom i profetisk eldhug, dei og.
And Saul sent messengers to take David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as superintendent over them: then came upon the messengers of Saul the spirit of God, and they also prophesied.
21 Då Saul fekk høyra det, sende han andre folk dit; dei og kom i profetisk eldhug. Og då han tridje venda sende nye folk, gjekk det like eins med deim.
And when it was told to Saul, he sent other messengers, and these prophesied likewise. And Saul sent again messengers the third time, and these also prophesied.
22 Då gjekk han sjølv til Rama. Då han kom til den store brunnen i Seku, spurde han: «Kvar er Samuel og David?» Dei svara: «I Nevajot ved Rama.»
Then went he himself also to Ramah, and came as far as the great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And some one said, Behold, they are at Nayoth near Ramah.
23 Då han gjekk dit, til Nevajot ved Rama, kom gudsåndi yver honom og, so han gjekk i profetisk eldhug heile vegen, til dess han kom til Nevajot ved Rama.
And he went thither to Nayoth near Ramah: and there came upon him also the Spirit of God, and he went on, and prophesied as he went, until he came to Nayoth near Ramah.
24 Då reiv han og av seg klædi, med di han og vart teken av profetisk eldhug framfor Samuel. Og han datt i koll og låg der naken heile den dagen og natti med. Difor plar dei segjer: «Er Saul og millom profetarne?»
And he also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied himself before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore people are in the habit of saying, Is Saul too among the prophets?
