2 Samuel 21
1 I Davids tid kom tri store uår etter kvarandre. Då gjorde David spursmål til Herren um det. Herren svara: «På Saul og hans hus kvilar blodskuld, av di han drap gibeonitarne.»
And it was a famine in [the] days of David three years year after year and he sought David [the] face of Yahweh. And he said Yahweh because of Saul and because of [the] house of blood on that he put to death the Gibeonites.
2 Kongen kalla då til seg Gibeon-mennerne og tala med deim. Gibeonitarne var ikkje israelitar, men var ei atterleiva av amoritarne. Endå Israels-borni hadde gjort eiden sin til deim, hadde Saul vore so ihuga for Israels-borni og for Juda, at han freista tyna deim.
And he summoned the king the Gibeonites and he said to them and the Gibeonites not [were] from [the] people of Israel they that except from [the] remnant of the Amorite[s] and [the] people of Israel they had sworn an oath to them and he had sought Saul to strike down them because was zealous he for [the] people of Israel and Judah.
3 David spurde no gibeonitarne: «Kva kann eg gjera for dykk? Korleis kann eg sona brotet, so de vil velsigna Herrens arvlut?»
And he said David to the Gibeonites what? will I do for you and how? will I make amends and bless [the] inheritance of Yahweh.
4 Gibeonitarne svara: «Ikkje sylv og gull krev me av Saul og hans hus. Og ikkje hev me lov å drepa nokon mann i Israel.» Han spurde: «Kva ynskjer det då eg skal gjera for dykk?»
And they said to him the Gibeonites not (to us *Q(K)*) silver and gold with Saul and with house his and not to us a man to put to death in Israel and he said what? [are] you saying I will do for you.
5 Dei svara kongen: «Den mannen som vilde tyna oss og tenktest rydja oss ut, so me ikkje lenger skulde få halda oss nokon stad innanfor Israels landskil,
And they said to the king the man who he made an end of us and who he planned to us we were destroyed from standing in all [the] territory of Israel.
6 av hans etterkomarar må det gjeva oss sju mann, og me vil leggja deim på stegl for Herrens augo i Sauls Gibea, han som Herren valde ut.» Kongen sagde: «De skal eg gjera.»
(Let it be given *Q(K)*) to us seven men from descendants his and we will impale them to Yahweh at Gibeah of Saul [the] chosen one of Yahweh. And he said the king I I will give [them].
7 Kongen sparde Mefiboset Jonatansson, soneson åt Saul, for skuld den eiden ved Herren som David og Jonatan Saulsson hadde svore einannan.
And he had compassion the king on Mephi-bosheth [the] son of Jonathan [the] son of Saul on [the] oath of Yahweh which [was] between them between David and between Jonathan [the] son of Saul.
8 Derimot tok kongen dei tvo sønerne Armoni og Mefiboset som Saul hadde fenge med Rispa Ajadotter, og dei fem sønerne som Adriel Barzillaison frå Mehola hadde fenge med Mikal Saulsdotter.
And he took the king [the] two [the] sons of Rizpah [the] daughter of Aiah whom she had borne to Saul Armoni and Mephibosheth and [the] five [the] sons of Michal [the] daughter of Saul whom she had borne to Adriel [the] son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
9 Deim gav han yver til gibeonitarne. Og dei lagde deim på stegl på fjellet for Herrens augo. Dei fekk sin bane alle sju på ein gong. Det var dei fyrste skurddagarne, då byggskurden tok til, at dei let livet.
And he gave them in [the] hand of the Gibeonites and they impaled them on the mountain before Yahweh and they fell ([the] seven of them *Q(K)*) together (and they *Q(k)*) they were put to death in [the] days of harvest in the first (at [the] beginning of *Q(K)*) [the] harvest of barley.
10 Rispa Ajadotter tok syrgjebunaden sin og breidde ut uppå fjellet frå skurdonni tok til, og til dess det strøymde regn yver deim frå himmelen. Ho let ikkje fuglarne under himmelen slå ned på deim um dagen, heller ikkje villdyri frå marki um natti.
And she took Rizpah [the] daughter of Aiah sackcloth and she spread out it for herself to the rock from [the] beginning of harvest until it was poured out water on them from the heavens and not she permitted [the] bird[s] of the heavens to rest on them by day and [the] animal[s] of the field night.
11 Då David spurde det Rispa Ajadotter, fylgjekona åt Saul, hadde gjort,
And it was told to David [that] which she had done Rizpah [the] daughter of Aiah [the] concubine of Saul.
12 drog David av stad og let henta beini etter Saul og Jonatan, son hans, hjå borgarne i Jabes i Gilead. Dei hadde i løynd teke liki frå torget i Bet-San, der som filistarane hadde hengt deim upp då dei hadde slege Saul på Gilboa.
And he went David and he took [the] bones of Saul and [the] bones of Jonathan son his from with [the] citizens of Jabesh Gilead who they had stolen them from [the] open square of Beth Shan where (they had hung up them there [the] Philistines *Q(K)*) on [the] day struck down [the] Philistines Saul on Gilboa.
13 Då han fekk ført beini etter Saul og Jonatan, son hans, upp derifrå, sanka dei i hop beini etter deim som var lagde på stegl,
And he brought up from there [the] bones of Saul and [the] bones of Jonathan son his and they gathered [the] bones of the impaled [men].
14 og gravlagde deim saman med beini etter Saul og Jonatan, son hans, i Benjaminslandet, i Sela, i gravi åt Kis, far hans. Dei gjorde alt det kongen baud. Og etterpå det vende Gud sin nåde til landet.
And they buried [the] bones of Saul and Jonathan son his in [the] land of Benjamin at Zela in [the] tomb of Kish father his and they did all that he commanded the king and he was entreated God for the land after thus.
15 Det vart krig millom filistarane og Israel att. David drog ned med tenarane sine; og dei slost med filistarane. Men David trøytna.
And it belonged again war to the Philistines with Israel and he went down David and servants his with him and they fought with [the] Philistines and he was weary David.
16 Jisbo-Benob, ein ætting av Rafa - han hadde eit spjot som vog tri hundrad lodd kopar, og han hadde spent um seg eit nytt sverd - han tenktest drepa David.
(And Ishbi-*Q(K)*) Benob who - [was] among those born of the Raphah and [the] weight of spear his [was] three hundred [the] weight of bronze and he [was] girded a new [weapon] and he said to strike down David.
17 Men Abisai Serujason hjelpte kongen og gav filistaren banehogg. Då svor Davids menner ein eid til honom, og sagde: «Du må aldri meir draga ut med oss i strid. Elles kann Israels lampa slokna.»
And he helped him Abishai [the] son of Zeruiah and he struck the Philistine and he killed him then they swore [the] men of David to him saying not you will go out again with us for battle and not you will extinguish [the] lamp of Israel.
18 So hende det sidan at det stod ein bardage med filistarane ved Gob. Då slo husatiten Sibbekai Saf av Rafa-ætti.
And it was after thus and it was again war at Gob with [the] Philistines then he struck down Sibbecai the Hushathite Saph who [was] among those born of the Raphah.
19 Då det endå ein gong stod eit slag mot filistarane ved Gob, gav Elhanan, son åt Ja’are-Orgim frå Betlehem, Goliat frå Gat banehogg, han som hadde eit spjotskaft so stort som ein vevbom.
And it was again war at Gob with [the] Philistines and he struck down Elhanan [the] son of Jaare-Oregim [the] Beth-lehemite Goliath the Gittite and [the] wood of spear his [was] like a beam of weavers.
20 Då det vart eit slag att ved Gat, var der ein storvaksen mann som hadde seks fingrar på kvar hand og seks tær på kvar fot, fire og tjuge til saman. Han var ogso utstokken frå Rafa-ætti.
And it was again war at Gath and he was - a man of (stature *Q(K)*) and [the] fingers of hands his and [the] toes of feet his [were] six and six [was] twenty and four [the] number and also he he was born to the Raphah.
21 Han svivyrde Israels-mennerne. Jonatan, son åt Simea, bror åt David, gav honom difor banehugg.
And he taunted Israel and he struck down him Jonathan [the] son of (Shimeah *Q(K)*) [the] brother of David.
22 Desse fire var ætta frå Rafa i Gat. Og dei fall for David og mennerne hans.
Four these they were born to the Raphah in Gath and they fell by [the] hand of David and by [the] hand of servants his.
