1 Samuel 19
1 Saul talte nu med sin Søn Jonatan og alle sine Folk om at slå David ihjel. Men Sauls Søn Jonatan holdt meget af David.
Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul’s son, greatly delighted in David.
2 Derfor fortalte Jonatan David det og sagde: "Min Fader Saul står dig efter Livet; tag dig derfor i Vare i Morgen, gem dig og hold dig skjult!
Jonathan told David, saying, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Now therefore, please take care of yourself in the morning, live in a secret place, and hide yourself.
3 Men jeg vil gå ud og stille mig hen hos min Fader på Marken der, hvor du er; så vil jeg tale til ham om dig, og hvis jeg mærker noget, vil jeg lade dig det vide."
I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, I will tell you.”
4 Så talte Jonatan Davids Sag hos sin Fader Saul og sagde til ham: "Kongen forsynde sig ikke mod sin Træl David; thi han har ikke forsyndet sig mod dig, og hvad han har udrettet, har gavnet dig meget;
Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Don’t let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you;
5 han vovede Livet for at dræbe Filisteren, og HERREN gav hele Israel en stor Sejr. Du så det selv og glædede dig derover; hvorfor vil du da forsynde dig ved uskyldigt Blod og dræbe David uden Grund?"
for he put his life in his hand and struck the Philistine, and Yahweh worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?”
6 Og Saul lyttede til Jonatans Ord, og Saul svor: "Så sandt HERREN lever, han skal ikke blive dræbt!"
Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore, “As Yahweh lives, he shall not be put to death.”
7 Derpå lod Jonatan David hente og fortalte ham det hele; og Jonatan førte David til Saul, og han var om ham som før.
Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.
8 Men Krigen fortsattes, og David drog i Kamp mod Filisterne og tilføjede dem et stort Nederlag, så de flygtede for ham.
There was war again. David went out and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.
9 Da kom der en ond Ånd fra HERREN over Saul, og engang han sad i sit Hus med sit Spyd i Hånden, medens David legede på Strengene,
An evil spirit from Yahweh was on Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing music with his hand.
10 søgte Saul at spidde David til Væggen med Spydet; men han veg til Side for Saul, så han jog Spydet i Væggen, medens David flygtede og undslap.
Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence; and he stuck the spear into the wall. David fled and escaped that night.
11 Om Natten sendte Saul Folk til Davids Hus for at passe på ham og dræbe ham om Morgenen. Men Davids Hustru Mikal røbede ham det og sagde: "Hvis du ikke redder dit Liv i Nat, er du dødsens i Morgen!"
Saul sent messengers to David’s house to watch him and to kill him in the morning. Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying, “If you don’t save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”
12 Så hejste Mikal David ned igennem Vinduet, og han flygtede bort og undslap.
So Michal let David down through the window. He went away, fled, and escaped.
13 Derpå tog Mikal Husguden, lagde den i Sengen, bredte et Gedehårsnet over Hovedet på den og dækkede den til med et Tæppe.
Michal took the teraphim and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ hair at its head and covered it with clothes.
14 Da nu Saul sendte Folk hen for at hente David, sagde hun: "Han er syg."
When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.”
15 Men Saul sendte Sendebudene hen for at se David, idet han sagde: "Bring ham på Sengen op til mig, for at jeg kan dræbe ham!"
Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.”
16 Da Sendebudene kom derhen, opdagede de, at det var Husguden, der lå i Sengen med Gedehårsnettet over Hovedet.
When the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats’ hair at its head.
17 Da sagde Saul til Mikal: "Hvorfor førte du mig således bag Lyset og hjalp min fjende bort, så han undslap?" Mikal svarede Saul:"Han sagde til mig: Hjælp mig bort, ellers slår jeg dig ihjel!"
Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me like this and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?” Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go! Why should I kill you?’”
18 Men David var flygtet og havde bragt sig i Sikkerhed. Derpå gik han til Samuel i Rama og fortalte ham alt, hvad Saul havde gjort imod ham; og han og Samuel gik hen og tog Ophold i Najot.
Now David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. He and Samuel went and lived in Naioth.
19 Da nu Saul fik at vide, at David var i Najot i Rama,
Saul was told, saying, “Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.”
20 sendte han Folk ud for at hente David; men da de så Profetskaren i profetisk Henrykkelse og Samuel stående hos dem, kom Guds Ånd over Sauls Sendebud, så at også de faldt i profetisk Henrykkelse.
Saul sent messengers to seize David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, God’s Spirit came on Saul’s messengers, and they also prophesied.
21 Da Saul hørte det, sendte han andre Folk af Sted; men også de faldt i Henrykkelse. Så sendte Saul på ny, tredje Gang, Folk af Sted; men også de faldt i Henrykkelse.
When Saul was told, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
22 Da begav han sig selv til Rama, og da han kom til Cisternen på Tærskepladsen, som ligger på den nøgne Høj, spurgte han: "Hvor er Samuel og David?" Man svarede: "I Najot i Rama!"
Then he also went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu: and he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” One said, “Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.”
23 Men da han gik derfra til Najot i Rama, kom Guds Ånd også over ham, og han gik i Henrykkelse hele Vejen, lige til han nåede Najot i Rama.
He went there to Naioth in Ramah. Then God’s Spirit came on him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 Da rev også han sine Klæder af sig, og han var i Henrykkelse foran Samuel og faldt nøgen om og blev liggende således hele den Dag og den følgende Nat. Derfor hedder det: "Er også Saul iblandt Profeterne?"
He also stripped off his clothes. He also prophesied before Samuel and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
