2 Samuel 17
1 Ahitofel sagde med Absalom: «Lat meg velja ut tolv tusund mann, so vil eg leggja i veg og forfylgja David alt i natt!
And he said Ahithophel to Absalom let me choose please two [plus] ten thousand man and I will arise and I will pursue after David this night.
2 So kjem eg brått yver honom og skræmer honom medan han er trøytt og veik. Då vil alle folki hans taka til rømings. So drep eg kongen medan han er åleine.
So I may come on him and he [will be] weary and slack of hands and I will terrify him and will flee all the people which [is] with him and I will strike down the king to only him.
3 So skal eg føra alt folket attende til deg; for um det gjeng so med den mannen du søkjer, er det som alle kjem attende; heile folket vil halda fred.»
And I will bring back all the people to you as returns everything the man whom you [are] seeking all the people it will be peace.
4 Absalom og alle dei øvste i Israel lika godt den rådi.
And it was pleasing the word in [the] eyes of Absalom and in [the] eyes of all [the] elders of Israel.
5 Like vel sagde Absalom: «Ropa ogso arkiten Husai inn! so fær me ogso høyra kva han råder til.»
And he said Absalom summon please also Hushai the Arkite so let us hear what? [is] in mouth his also he.
6 Då Husai kom inn til Absalom, sagde Absalom til honom: «So og so hev Ahitofel sagt. Skal me fylgja hans råd? I anna fall, kva meiner du?»
And he came Hushai to Absalom and he said Absalom to him saying according to the word this he has spoken Ahithophel ¿ will we do word his if not you speak.
7 Husai svara Absalom: «Den rådi Ahitofel hev gjeve denne gongen, er ikkje god.
And he said Hushai to Absalom not [is] good the counsel which he has counseled Ahithophel at the time this.
8 Du kjenner far din og folki hans, » sagde Husai, «du veit dei er fullgode stridsfolk. Og hug-rame er dei no som ei binna dei hev teke ungarne frå ute i marki. Far din er krigsmann, veit du: han let ikkje folki leggja seg til kvile um natti.
And he said Hushai you you know father your and men his that [are] warriors they and [are] bitter of soul they like a bear robbed of cubs in the field and father your [is] a man of war and not he will pass [the] night with the people.
9 No hev han visseleg løynt seg i einkvan helleren eller einkvar annan staden. Skulde då sume av våre folk falla i fyrstningi, so vil det koma ut at det hev vore stort mannefall millom folki som fylgde Absalom.
There! now he [has] hidden himself in one of the ravines or in one of the places and it will be when falls among them at the first and he will hear the [one who] hears and he will say it has been a slaughter among the people which [is] after Absalom.
10 Då vil jamvel den djervaste heiltupp missa modet, um han så hadde mod som ei løva. For heile Israel veit at far din er ei kjempa, og at fylgjesveinarne hans er djerve karar.
And he also a son of strength whom heart his [is] like [the] heart of lion surely he will melt for [is] knowing all Israel that [is] a warrior father your and [are] sons of strength who [are] with him.
11 Difor er det mi råd, at du stemner saman til deg heile Israel frå Dan til Be’erseba, so tallrikt som sanden attmed havet. Og sjølv lyt du draga med i striden.
For I counsel certainly let it be gathered to you all Israel from Dan and to Beer Sheba like the sand which [is] at the sea for multitude and face your [will be] going in the battle.
12 Når me so finn honom einkvan staden, kvar helst det no er, so fell me yver honom som doggi fell på marki. Då skal det ikkje verta ein einaste att av honom og alle fylgjesveinarne hans.
And we will come against him (in one of *Q(k)*) the places where he is found there and we will set on him when it will fall the dew on the ground and not we will leave among him and among all the men who [are] with him also one.
13 Ja, um han so søkjer inn i ei borg, so vil heile Israel leggja reip ikring henne og draga henne ned i dalen, til dess det bid ikkje minste steinen att i henne.»
And if into a city he will be gathered and they will cause to bring all Israel to the city that ropes and we will drag him to the wadi until that not it has been found there also a pebble.
14 Då sagde Absalom og alle Israels-mennerne: «Rådi åt arkiten Husai er betre enn Ahitofels råd.» For Herren laga det so at den gode rådi hans Ahitofel vart um inkjes. For Herren vilde føra ulukke yver Absalom.
And he said Absalom and every man of Israel [is] good [the] counsel of Hushai the Arkite more than [the] counsel of Ahithophel and Yahweh he had commanded to frustrate [the] counsel of Ahithophel good in order to bring Yahweh to Absalom calamity.
15 Husai melde til prestarne Sadok og Abjatar: «Den og den rådi gav Ahitofel åt Absalom og dei øvste i Israel. Men den og den rådi gav eg.
And he said Hushai to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests like this and like this he has counseled Ahithophel Absalom and [the] elders of Israel and like this and like this I have counseled I.
16 Skunda dykk og send bod til David med det ordet: «Natta ikkje yver attmed ferjestaderne i øydemarki i natt, men gakk yver Jordan! Elles kann kongen og alle folki hans verta tynte.»»
And therefore send quickly and tell to David saying may not you pass [the] night this night at [the] desert plains of the wilderness and also certainly you will pass over lest it should be swallowed up to the king and to all the people which [is] with him.
17 Jonatan og Ahima’as heldt seg attmed En-Rogel. Dit kom jamt ei tenestgjenta med melding til deim; og so bar dei meldingi til David. Dei våga ikkje visa seg i byen.
And Jonathan and Ahimaaz [were] staying at En Rogel and she went the maidservant and she told to them and they they went and they told to the king David for not they were able to be seen to go the city towards.
18 Men ein unggut gådde deim og melde det til Absalom. Då skunda dei seg burt båe, og kom heim til ein mann i Bahurim. Han hadde ein brunn på garden sin. I den steig dei ned.
And he saw them a young man and he told to Absalom and they went [the] two of them quickly and they came - to [the] house of a man in Bahurim and [belonged] to him a well in courtyard his and they went down there.
19 So tok kona hans og breidde eit tæpe yver brunn-opet, og strådde gryn uppå, so ingen gådde noko.
And she took the woman and she spread out the covering on [the] face of the well and she spread on it the grain[s] and not it was known anything.
20 Då tenarane åt Absalom kom inn i huset til kona og spurde etter Ahima’as og Jonatan, svara ho: «Dei gjekk yver den vesle bekken der.» Dei leita, men fann inkje, og snudde so heim att til Jerusalem.
And they came [the] servants of Absalom to the woman the house towards and they said where? [are] Ahimaaz and Jonathan and she said to them the woman they have passed over [the] brook of water and they sought [them] and not they found [them] and they returned Jerusalem.
21 Då dei hadde fare sin veg, steig dei hine upp or brunnen, og gjekk med meldingi til kong David. Dei sagde til David: «Skunda deg, far yver vatnet! den og den rådi hev Ahitofel gjeve um dykk.»
And it was - after had gone they and they came up from the well and they went and they told to the king David and they said to David arise and pass over quickly the water for thus he has counseled on you Ahithophel.
22 David braut upp med alle fylgjesveinarne sine; og dei gjekk yver Jordan. Um morgonen då dagen rann, vanta det ikkje ein einaste. Alle var komne yver Jordan.
And he arose David and all the people which [was] with him and they passed over the Jordan until [the] light of the morning up to one [person] not [was] missing who not he had passed over the Jordan.
23 Då Ahitofel såg at dei ikkje fylgde rådi hans, sala han asnet sitt, steig uppå og reid heim til sin by. Og då han hadde skila for seg, hengde han seg. Det var hans bane. Han vart gravlagd i gravi åt far sin.
And Ahithophel he saw that not it was done counsel his and he saddled the donkey and he arose and he went to house his to city his and he commanded concerning household his and he hanged himself and he died and he was buried in [the] tomb of father his.
24 David var komen til Mahanajim då Absalom med alle Israels-mennerne gjekk yver Jordan.
And David he had gone Mahanaim towards and Absalom he had passed over the Jordan he and every man of Israel with him.
25 Absalom hadde sett Amasa til øvste herhovding i staden for Joab. Amasa var son åt ein jizre’elit ved namn Jitra, som hadde halde seg med Abigal, dotter til Nahas, syster til Seruja, mor åt Joab.
And Amasa he had appointed Absalom in place of Joab over the army and Amasa [was] a son of a man and name his [was] Jether the Israelite who he had gone into Abigail [the] daughter of Nahash [the] sister of Zeruiah [the] mother of Joab.
26 Israel og Absalom lægra seg i Gileadlandet.
And it encamped Israel and Absalom [the] land of Gilead.
27 Då David kom til Mahanajim, hadde Sobi Nahasson frå Rabba i Ammonitarlandet og Makir Ammielsson frå Lo-Debar, og Barzillai, ein Gileads-mann frå Rogelim,
And it was when came David Mahanaim towards and Shobi [the] son of Nahash from Rabbah of [the] people of Ammon and Makir [the] son of Ammiel from Lo Debar and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim.
28 ført dit sengjer, skåler og kruskjerald. Og kveite, bygg, mjøl, steikte aks, baunor, linsor,
Bed[s] and basins and a vessel of a potter and wheat and barley and flour and roasted grain and bean[s] and lentils and roasted grain.
29 honning, tjukkmjølk, sauer og mjølk-ost hadde dei med seg til mat åt David og folket hans. For dei tenkte: «Folki hev vorte svoltne, trøytte og tyrste i øydemarki.»
And honey and curd and sheep and cheese of [the] herd they brought for David and for the people which [was] with him to eat for they said the people [is] hungry and weary and thirsty in the wilderness.
