Første Krønikebog 14
1 Og Hiram, Kongen af Tyrus, sendte Bud til David med Cedertræ og Murmestre og Tømmermestre for at bygge ham et Hus.
One day Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], sent some messengers to David [to talk about making an agreement between their countries]. Then Hiram sent cedar logs, bricklayers, and carpenters to build a palace for David.
2 Og David fornam, at Herren havde stadfæstet ham til Konge over Israel; thi hans Rige blev overmaade ophøjet for hans Folks Israels Skyld.
[When that happened, ] David knew that Yahweh had truly caused him to be the king of Israel, and that he had caused his kingdom to be greatly respected. Yahweh did this because [he loved] his Israeli people.
3 Og David tog endnu Hustruer i Jerusalem, og David avlede endnu Sønner og Døtre.
David married more women in Jerusalem, and [those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters for him.
4 Og disse vare deres Navne, som bleve ham fødte i Jerusalem: Sammua og Sobab, Nathan og Salomo
The names of the children that were born to him there in Jerusalem are Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
5 og Jibkar og Elisua og Elifelet
Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
6 og Noga og Nefeg og Jafla
Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
7 og Elisama og Beeljada og Elifelet.
Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 Og der Filisterne hørte, at David var salvet til Konge over hele Israel, da droge alle Filisterne op for at søge efter David; der David hørte det, da drog han ud imod dem.
When the army of Philistia heard that David has been appointed to be king of all of Israel, they came to capture him. But David heard that they were coming, so he [and his soldiers] marched out to fight against them.
9 Og Filisterne kom og udbredte sig i Refaims Dal.
The army of Philistia had attacked the people in the Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and had robbed them.
10 Og David spurgte Gud ad og sagde: Skal jeg drage op imod Filisterne? og vil du give dem i min Haand? Og Herren sagde til ham: Drag op, thi jeg vil give dem i din Haand.
David asked God, “Should [my men and] I go and attack the army of Philistia? [If we go, ] will you enable us to defeat [IDM] them?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, go, and I will enable you to defeat [IDM] them.”
11 Og der de droge op til Baal-Perazim, da slog David dem der, og David sagde: Gud har brudt igennem mine Fjender ved min Haand, ligesom Vandet bryder igennem; derfor kaldte man det samme Steds Navn Baal-Perazim.
So David and his men went up to a town where the soldiers of Philistia were staying and defeated them. Then David said, “God has enabled me [and my soldiers] to overwhelm my enemies like [MET] a flood.” So they named that place {That place is called} ‘Baal-Perazim’ [which means ‘Yahweh breaks through’].
12 Og de efterlode deres Guder der; og David bød, og de bleve opbrændte med Ild.
[As the soldiers of Philistia fled], they left their idols there. So David commanded his soldiers to burn those idols.
13 Og Filisterne bleve endnu ved og udbredte sig i Dalen.
But soon the army of Philistia attacked the people in that valley again.
14 Og David adspurgte Gud ydermere, og Gud sagde til ham: Du skal ikke drage op efter dem, men vend dig fra dem, at du kan komme til dem tværs over for Morbærtræerne.
So again David prayed to God [to ask him what he should do], and God replied, saying “Do not attack the army of Philistia from the front. Instead, go around them, and attack them [from the rear] in front of the balsam trees.
15 Og det skal ske, naar du hører en Lyd af en Skriden hen over Morbærtræernes Toppe, da skal du drage ud til Striden; thi Gud er udgangen for dit Ansigt at slaa Filisternes Lejr.
When you hear something in the tops of the balsam trees that sounds like [soldiers] marching, attack them. I, God, will have gone ahead of you to enable you to defeat the army of Philistia.”
16 Og David gjorde, som Gud havde befalet ham, og de sloge Filisternes Lejr fra Gibeon og indtil Geser.
So David did what God commanded him to do, and he and his army defeated the army of Philistia, all the way from Gibeon [city in the east] to Gezer [city in the west].
17 Og Davids Navn kom ud i alle Landene, og Herren lod Frygt for ham komme over alle Hedninger.
So David became famous in all the nearby countries, and Yahweh caused [the leaders of] all the [nearby] nations to be afraid of him.
