2 Samuel 2
1 Sidan spurde David Herren: «Skal eg draga upp til ein av byarne i Juda?» Herren svara ja. «Kvar helst?» spurde David. Herren svara: «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 So drog David dit med båe konorne sine, Ahinoam frå Jizre’el og Abiga’il, kona åt Nabal frå Karmel.
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 David førde ogso fylgjesveinarne sine dit upp med huslydarne sine; og dei busette seg i byarne kringum 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 Då kom Juda-folket dit og salva David til konge yver Juda-ætti. Då David fekk høyra at det var folket i Jabes i Gilead som hadde gravlagt 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 sende han bod til folket i Jabes i Gilead og sagde til deim: «Velsigna av Herren vere de som gjorde denne sælebotstenesta mot Saul, herren dykkar, at det gravlagde honom.
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 So vise då Herren dykk kjærleik og truskap! Sjølv vil eg løna dykk vel for de gode de gjorde.
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 Ver då urædde, og dugande karar! Saul, herren dykkar, er dåen; men meg hev Juda-ætti salva til konge yver seg.»
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 Abner Nersson, herhovdingen åt Saul, tok Isboset Saulsson og førde honom yver til Mahanajim,
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.

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 Saulsson var fyrti år gamall då han vart konge yver Israel, og han var konge i tvo år. Einast Juda-ætti fylgde David.

12 Abner Nersson drog ut frå Mahanajim til Gibeon med folket åt Isboset Saulsson.
And he went out Abner [the] son of Ner and [the] servants of Ish-bosheth [the] son of Saul from Mahanaim Gibeon towards.
13 Joab Serujason og Davids folk drog ut dei og. Og dei møttest ved Gibeontjørni. Der stogga dei på kvar si sida av tjørni.
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 Abner sagde til Joab: «Lat nokre av sveinarne våre koma fram og halda våpnleik for oss!» «Ja vel, » svara Joab.
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 Dei kom og møtte fram like mange i tal: tolv av Benjamin for Isboset Saulsson, 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 Dei treiv kvarandre kring hovudet, og rende sverdi i sida på kvarandre, so dei fall alle i hop. Difor heitar den staden Sverdåkeren; han ligg attmed 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 Då vart det ein ovhard strid den dagen. Abner og Israels-mennerne vart slegne 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 Tri søner av Seruja var med i striden: Joab, Ahisai og Asael. Asael var lettføtt som ei hind i heidi.
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 forfylgde Abner, og veik korkje til høgre eller vinstre frå Abner.
And he pursued Asahel after Abner and not he turned aside to go to the right and to the left from after Abner.
20 Abner vende seg og sagde: «Er du Asael?» Han svara ja.
And he turned Abner behind him and he said ¿ you [is] this O Asahel and he said I.
21 Abner sagde til honom: «Vend deg ei onnor leid, til høgre eller til vinstre! Tak på ein av sveinarne, og freista taka våpni hans!» Men Asael vilde ikkje slutta å elta honom.
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 Abner heldt endå fram og ropa til Asael: «Lat meg vera! elles lyt eg slå deg til jordi; og korleis skal eg då sjå Joab, bror din, i augo?»
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 ikkje slutta. Og so støytte Abner bakenden av spjotet inn i magen hans, so spjotet gjekk ut gjenom ryggen. Og det vart hans bane. Alle stogga når dei kom dit Asael fall og døydde.
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 forfylgde Abner. Men då soli gladde, var dei komne til Ammahaugen, beint imot Giah, på vegen til Gibeons-øydemarki.
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 Då samla dei seg, Benjamins-folki, attum Abner, so dei vart til ein flokk, og fylkte seg på toppen av ein og same haugen.
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 Abner ropa til Joab: «Skal då sverdet halda på og øyde i all æva? Skynar du ikkje at dette tek ein beisk ende? Kor lenge vil du drygja fyrr du byd folki dine slutta å elta brørne sine?»
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 svara: «So sant Gud liver: hadde du ikkje tala, so vilde folket ha slutta å elta brørne sine alt frå morgonen.»
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 Joab let blåsa i luren. Alle stana, og slutta å elta Israel. Og so heldt dei upp å slåst.
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 kararne hans for yver heidi heile natti; dei gjekk yver Jordan og for gjenom heile Bitron, og kom so til Mahanajim.
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 Då Joab hadde slutta å elta Abner, samla han alt folket. Då sakna dei nittan mann av Davids folk, forutan 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 David folk hadde drepe tri hundrad og seksti mann av benjaminitarne og Abner-folket.
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 Dei tok Asael og gravlagde honom i farsgravi i Betlehem. So gjekk dei heile natti, Joab og mennerne hans, og kom ved dagsprett til Hebron.
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.
