1 Samuel 30
1 It happened, when David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, that Amalek had made a raid on the Negev, and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag, and burned it with fire,
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;
2 and had taken captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great. They did not kill any, but carried them off, and went their way.
Och hade bortfört qvinnorna dädan, både små och stora; men de hade ingen slagit ihjäl, utan drifvit dem bort och voro sin väg.
3 When David and his men came to the city, look, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captive.
Då nu David med sina män kom till staden, och såg att han var uppbränd med eld, och deras hustrur, söner och döttrar fångne,
4 Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
Hof David och folket, som med honom var, deras röst upp, och greto, tilldess de icke mer gråta kunde.
5 David's two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Ty Davids två hustrur voro ock fångna, Ahinoam den Jisreelitiskan, och Abigail, Nabals hustru, den Carmelitens.
6 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 the LORD his God.
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;
7 David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, "Please bring me here the ephod." Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
Och sade till Presten AbJathar, Ahimelechs son: Bär mig fram lifkjortelen. Och då AbJathar hade burit fram lifkjorteln,
8 David inquired of the LORD, saying, "If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them?" He answered him, "Pursue; for you shall surely overtake them, and shall without fail recover all."
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.
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the Wadi Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.
Så drog David åstad, och de sexhundrad män, som när honom voro. Och då de kommo till den bäcken Besor, blefvo någre ståndande;
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they couldn't cross the Wadi Besor.
Men David och fyrahundrad män jagade efter; och de tuhundrade män, som ståndande blefvo, hade försummat sig fara öfver bäcken Besor.
11 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.
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;
12 They gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins. 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.
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.
13 David asked him, "To whom do you belong? Where are you from?" 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.
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.
14 We made a raid on the Negev of the Kerethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the Negev of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire."
Vi vorom här infallne söder på Crethi, och uppå Juda, och söder på Caleb, och hafve bränt upp Ziklag med eld.
15 David said to him, "Will you bring me down to this troop?" He said, "Swear to me by God that you will neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop." And he swore to him.
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.
16 When he had brought him down, look, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, 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.
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.
17 David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day and he put them to death. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men, who rode on camels and fled.
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.
18 He recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued his two wives.
Så undsatte då David allt det de Amalekiter tagit hade, och sina två hustrur.
19 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.
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.
20 He took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, and said, "This is David's spoil."
Och David tog får och fä, och dref boskapen för sig, och de sade: Detta är Davids rof.
21 David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom he also had made to stay at the Wadi 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 greeted them.
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.
22 Then every wicked and worthless one of the men who had gone with David answered, and they said, "Because they did not go with us, we will not give them anything of the spoil that we have recovered, except to each man his wife and his children. And let them take them, and depart."
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.
23 Then David said, "You shall not do so after what the LORD has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered into our hand the raiding party that came against us.
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.
24 So who will listen to you in this matter? For they are not inferior to you. For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so will his share be who remains with the supplies; they will share alike."
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.
25 It was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
Detta är också ifrå den tiden och allt sedan vordet för en sed och rätt i Israel, intill denna dag.
26 When David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah and to his friends, saying, "Look, a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD."
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;
27 He sent it to those who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramath Negev, and to those who were in Jattir,
Nämliga dem i BethEl, dem i Bamoth söderut, dem i Jathir,
28 and to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa,
Dem i Aroer, dem i Siphmoth, dem i Esthemoa,
29 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 Kenizzites.
Dem i Rachal, dem i de Jerahmeeliters städer, dem i de Keniters städer,
30 and to those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Bor Ashan, and to those who were in Athach,
Dem i Horma, dem i ChorAsan, dem i Atach,
31 and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.
Dem i Hebron, och allestäds der David vandrat hade med sina män.
