1 Samuels 23
1 Folk melde til David: «Filistarane held på og strider mot Ke’ila, og dei herjar treskjestaderne.»
And people told to David saying there! [the] Philistines [are] fighting against Keilah and they [are] plundering the threshing floors.
2 Då spurde David Herren: «Skal eg draga av stad og slå desse filistarar?» Herren svara David: «Ja, drag av stad, slå filistarane og fria ut Ke’ila!»
And he enquired David by Yahweh saying ¿ will I go and will I strike? the Philistines these. And he said Yahweh to David go and you will strike the Philistines and you will deliver Keilah.
3 Men folki åt David sagde med honom: «Me er alt fyrr rædde um oss her i Juda. Kor skal det då ganga når me fer til Ke’ila mot filistarfylkingi?»
And they said [the] men of David to him here! we here in Judah [are] fearful and indeed? if we will go Keilah against [the] battle lines of [the] Philistines.
4 Då spurde David Herren andre gongen, og Herren svara honom: «Ris upp! drag ned til Ke’ila! Eg gjev filistarane i di hand.»
And he repeated again David to enquire by Yahweh. And he answered him Yahweh and he said arise go down Keilah for I [am] about to give [the] Philistines in hand your.
5 So for David med kararne sine til Ke’ila og stridde mot filistarane, førde burt buskapen deira, og gjorde stort mannefald millom deim. Soleis fria David folket i Ke’ila.
And he went David (and men his *Q(K)*) Keilah and he fought against the Philistines and he drove away livestock their and he defeated them a defeat great and he delivered David [the] inhabitants of Keilah.
6 Då Abjatar Ahimeleksson rømde til David i Ke’ila, hadde han med seg messehakelen.
And it was when fled Abiathar [the] son of Ahimelech to David Keilah an ephod it came down in hand his.
7 Saul fekk vita at David var komen til Ke’ila. Då sagde Saul: «Gud hev gjeve honom i mi magt, sidan han hev stengt seg inne i ein by med portar og slåer.»
And it was told to Saul that he had gone David Keilah and he said Saul he has alienated him God in hand my for he has shut himself up by going in a city of doors and bar[s].
8 So baud Saul ut alt folket til strid. Dei skulde draga ned til Ke’ila og kringsetja David og folket hans.
And he summoned Saul all the people for battle to go down Keilah to lay siege against David and against men his.
9 Då no David fekk vita at Saul lagde meinråder mot honom, sagde han til presten Abjatar: «Ber hit messehakelen!»
And he knew David that on him Saul [was] plotting evil and he said to Abiathar the priest bring near! the ephod.
10 Og David sagde: «Herre, Israels Gud! Tenaren din hev spurt for sant at Saul tenkjer å koma til Ke’ila og øyda byen for mi skuld.
And he said David O Yahweh [the] God of Israel certainly he has heard servant your that [is] seeking Saul to come to Keilah to destroy the city because of me.
11 Vil då Ke’ila-buarne gjeva meg i hans hand? Kjem Saul hit, som tenaren din hev spurt? Herre, Israels Gud! Lat tenaren din få vissa for det!» Herren svara: «Ja, han kjem hit.»
¿ Will they deliver up me [the] citizens of Keilah in hand his ¿ will he come down Saul just as he has heard servant your O Yahweh [the] God of Israel tell please to servant your. And he said Yahweh he will come down.
12 David spurde endå ein gong: «Vil Ke’ila-buarne gjeva meg og kararne mine i Sauls hender?» Herren svara: «Ja, dei vil det.»
And he said David ¿ will they deliver up [the] citizens of Keilah me and men my in [the] hand of Saul and he said Yahweh they will deliver [you] up.
13 Då reis David upp med kararne sine, um lag seks hundrad mann, og drog ut frå Ke’ila, og ferdast kvar helst det høvde. Då Saul fekk melding at David var rømd frå Ke’ila, let han vera å draga ut.
And he arose David and men his about six hundred man and they went out from Keilah and they went about at where they went about and to Saul it was told that he had escaped David from Keilah and he ceased to go forth.
14 So heldt David seg i øydemarki i fjellborgerne, og heldt seg millom fjelli i øydemarki Zif. Saul leita etter honom allstødt. Men Gud gav honom ikkje hans hand.
And he dwelt David in the wilderness in the strongholds and he dwelt in the hill country in [the] wilderness of Ziph and he sought him Saul all the days and not he gave him God in hand his.
15 Medan David var i Hores i øydemarki Zif, såg han at Saul hadde fare ut og vilde drepa honom.
And he saw David that he had come forth Saul to seek life his and David [was] in [the] wilderness of Ziph at Horesh.
16 Jonatan Saulsson for av stad og gjekk til David i Hores, og styrkte modet hans i Gud.
And he arose Jonathan [the] son of Saul and he went to David Horesh and he strengthened hand his in God.
17 Han sagde til honom: «Ver hugheil! handi hans Saul, far min, skal ikkje nå deg. Du skal verta konge yver Israel, og eg skal vera den andre etter deg. Det skyner ogso Saul, far min.»
And he said to him may not you be afraid for not it will find you [the] hand of Saul father my and you you will reign over Israel and I I will become to you second in rank and also Saul father my [is] knowing [it is] thus.
18 So gjorde dei båe ei pakt for Herren. Og David heldt seg i Hores. Men Jonatan for heim att.
And they made [the] two of them a covenant before Yahweh and he remained David at Horesh and Jonathan he went to house his.
19 Nokre Zif-folk drog upp til Saul i Gibea og sagde: «David held seg løynd hjå oss, i fjellborgerne i Hores, på Hakilahøgdi, sunnanfor øydemarki.
And they went up Ziphites to Saul Gibeah towards saying ¿ not [is] David hiding himself with us in the strongholds at Horesh on [the] hill of Hakilah which [is] from [the] south of Jeshimon.
20 Tekkjest det deg å draga ned no, konge, so gjer det! Vår sak vert det då å gjeva honom i kongens hand.»
And now to all [the] desire of self your O king to come down come down and [belongs] to us to deliver up him in [the] hand of the king.
21 Då sagde Saul: «Velsigna av Herren vere de, at de tykkjer synd i meg.
And he said Saul [be] blessed you by Yahweh for you have had compassion on me.
22 Far no heim, og få endå meir vissa! finn ut og sjå etter kva stad han ferdast, og kven det er som ser honom der! For dei hev sagt meg at han er ein ful fant.
Go please prepare still and know and see place his where it is foot his who? has he seen him there for someone has said to me certainly he is crafty he.
23 Finn ut og få greida på alle løynstader, der han kann løyna seg! Kom so att til meg, når det hev fenge vissa! so vil eg draga med dykk. Finst han i landet, skal eg vita å leita honom upp, um eg so skal leita millom alle Juda-ætterne.»
And see and know from all the hiding places where he hides himself there and you will return to me to a certain [thing] and I will go with you and it will be if there he [is] in the land and I will search out him among all [the] thousands of Judah.
24 So tok dei ut og gjekk til Zif fyre Saul. David og kararne hans var i øydemarki Maon, på heidi sunnanfor øydemarki.
And they arose and they went Ziph towards before Saul and David and men his [were] in [the] wilderness of Maon in the Arabah to [the] south of Jeshimon.
25 Då no Saul drog av stad med folki sine på leit etter David, fekk David høyra gjete det, og drog då ned på ein hamar, og heldt seg i øydemarki Maon. Då Saul frette det, sette han etter David inn i øydemarki Maon.
And he went Saul and men his to seek [him] and people told to David and he went down the rock and he remained in [the] wilderness of Maon and he heard Saul and he pursued after David [the] wilderness of Maon.
26 Saul gjekk på den eine fjellsida, og David og kararne hans på hi. Nett som no David gjekk i angest og vilde sleppa frå Saul, og Saul og folki hans freista ringa David og kararne hans og fanga deim,
And he went Saul from [the] side of the mountain from this and David and men his [were] from [the] side of the mountain from this and he was David hurrying away to go from before Saul and Saul and men his [were] surrounding David and men his to catch them.
27 so kom det bod til Saul: «Skunda deg og kom! filistarane hev falle inn i landet.»
And a messenger he came to Saul saying make haste! and come! for they have made a raid [the] Philistines on the land.
28 So heldt Saul upp med å forfølja David, og drog mot filistarane. Derav fekk den staden namnet Sela-Hammahlekot.
And he turned back Saul from pursuing after David and he went to meet [the] Philistines there-fore people called the place that Sela Hammahlekoth.
29 David drog upp derifrå, og heldt seg so i fjellborgerne i En-Gedi.
And he went up David from there and he dwelt in [the] strongholds of En Gedi.
