1 Samuelsboken 30
1 Då nu David på tredje dagen kom till Ziklag med sina män, voro de Amalekiter der infallne söderut, och till Ziklag; och hade slagit Ziklag, och uppbränt med eld;
And it came to pass, when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the South, and upon Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire,
2 Och hade bortfört qvinnorna dädan, både små och stora; men de hade ingen slagit ihjäl, utan drifvit dem bort och voro sin väg.
and had taken captive the women and all that were in it, both small and great. They did not kill any, but carried them off, and went their way.
3 Då nu David med sina män kom till staden, och såg att han var uppbränd med eld, och deras hustrur, söner och döttrar fångne,
And when David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire. And their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captive.
4 Hof David och folket, som med honom var, deras röst upp, och greto, tilldess de icke mer gråta kunde.
Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
5 Ty Davids två hustrur voro ock fångna, Ahinoam den Jisreelitiskan, och Abigail, Nabals hustru, den Carmelitens.
And David's two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6 Och David var storliga bedröfvad; ty folket ville stena honom; ty hela folkens själ var bedröfvad, hvar och en öfver sina söner och döttrar. Men David stärkte sig i Herranom sinom Gud;
And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters. But David strengthened himself in Jehovah his God.
7 Och sade till Presten AbJathar, Ahimelechs son: Bär mig fram lifkjortelen. Och då AbJathar hade burit fram lifkjorteln,
And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, I pray thee, bring me here the ephod. And Abiathar brought there the ephod to David.
8 Frågade David Herran, och sade: Skall jag jaga efter krigsfolket? och skall jag få dem fatt? Han sade: Jaga efter dem; du skall få dem fatt, och undsätta rofvet.
And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue, for thou shall surely overtake them, and shall without fail recover all.
9 Så drog David åstad, och de sexhundrad män, som när honom voro. Och då de kommo till den bäcken Besor, blefvo någre ståndande;
So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.
10 Men David och fyrahundrad män jagade efter; och de tuhundrade män, som ståndande blefvo, hade försummat sig fara öfver bäcken Besor.
But David pursued, he and four hundred men, for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
11 Och de funno en Egyptisk man på markene, den förde de till David, och gåfvo honom bröd, att han åt, och gåfvo honom vatten dricka;
And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread. And he ate, and they gave him water to drink.
12 Och gåfvo honom ett stycke fikon, och tu stycke russin; och då han ätit hade, kom hans anda åter till honom; ty han hade i tre dagar och tre nätter intet bröd ätit, och intet vatten druckit.
And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins. And when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him, for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
13 David sade till honom: Hvem hörer du till? Och hvadan äst du? Han sade: Jag är en Egyptisk dräng, en Amalekiters tjenare, och min herre hafver öfvergifvit mig; ty jag vardt krank för tre dagar sedan.
And David said to him, To whom do thou belong? And from where are thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite. And my master left me because three days ago I fell sick.
14 Vi vorom här infallne söder på Crethi, och uppå Juda, och söder på Caleb, och hafve bränt upp Ziklag med eld.
We made a raid upon the South of the Cherethites, and upon that which belongs to Judah, and upon the South of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag with fire.
15 David sade till honom: Vill du föra mig ned till det krigsfolket? Han sade: Svär mig vid Gud, att du icke slår mig ihjäl eller antvardar mig i mins herras hand, så vill jag föra dig ned till det krigsfolket.
And David said to him, Will thou bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear to me by God, that thou will neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this troop.
16 Och han förde dem ned; och si, de hade förstrött sig öfver hela jordena, åto och drucko, och fröjdade sig, för det stora bytets skull, som de tagit hade utu de Philisteers land, och utur Juda land.
And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad over all the ground, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
17 Och David slog dem, ifrå morgonen allt intill aftonen, emot den andra dagen, så att ingen af dem undslapp, förutan fyrahundrade ynglingar, de satte sig uppå cameler, och flydde.
And David smote them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day. And there escaped not a man of them, except four hundred young men who rode upon camels and fled.
18 Så undsatte då David allt det de Amalekiter tagit hade, och sina två hustrur.
And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and David rescued his two wives.
19 Och fattades ingen, hvarken liten eller stor, hvarken söner eller döttrar, eller af rofvet, eller hvad som helst de tagit hade; David hemtade det allt igen.
And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor anything that they had taken to them; David brought back all.
20 Och David tog får och fä, och dref boskapen för sig, och de sade: Detta är Davids rof.
And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.
21 Och då David kom till de tuhundrade män, som sig försummat hade efterfölja David, och voro blefne vid bäcken Besor, gingo de ut emot David, och folket, som med honom var; och David gick till folket, och helsade dem vänliga.
And David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to abide at the brook Besor. And they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. And when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
22 Då svarade de som onde och Belials män voro, ibland dem som med David dragne voro, och sade: Efter de icke foro med oss, skall man intet gifva dem af rofvet, som vi undsatt hafve; utan hvar och en tage sina hustru och sin barn, och gånge sin väg.
Then answered all the wicked men and base fellows of those who went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them anything of the spoil that we have recovered except to every man his wife and his children that he may lead them away, and depart.
23 Då sade David: I skolen icke så göra, mine bröder, med det som Herren oss gifvit hafver, och hafver förvarat oss, och gifvit det krigsfolket i våra händer, som emot oss komne voro.
Then David said, Ye shall not do so, my brothers, with that which Jehovah has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
24 Ho skulle höra eder derutinnan? Sådana som deras del är, som voro neddragne i stridena, sådana skall ock deras del vara, som när tygen blifvit hafva, och skall lika bytt varda.
And who will hearken to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes down to the battle so shall his share be who remains by the baggage; they shall share alike.
25 Detta är också ifrå den tiden och allt sedan vordet för en sed och rätt i Israel, intill denna dag.
And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
26 Och då David kom till Ziklag, sände han rofvet till de äldsta i Juda sina nästa, och sade: Si, der hafven I välsignelsen af Herrans fiendars rof;
And when David came to Ziklag, he sent from the spoil to the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold, a present for you from the spoil of the enemies of Jehovah:
27 Nämliga dem i BethEl, dem i Bamoth söderut, dem i Jathir,
to those who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramoth of the South, and to those who were in Jattir,
28 Dem i Aroer, dem i Siphmoth, dem i Esthemoa,
and to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa,
29 Dem i Rachal, dem i de Jerahmeeliters städer, dem i de Keniters städer,
and to those who were in Racal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
30 Dem i Horma, dem i ChorAsan, dem i Atach,
and to those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Borashan, and to those who were in Athach,
31 Dem i Hebron, och allestäds der David vandrat hade med sina män.
and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were accustomed to frequent.
