1 Samuel 17
1 Now the Philistines got their armies together for war, and came together at Socoh in the land of Judah, and took up their position between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes-dammim.
Filisterne samlede deres Hær til Kamp. De samlede sig ved Soko i Juda og slog Lejr mellem Soko og Azeka i Efes-Dammim.
2 And Saul and the men of Israel came together and took up their position in the valley of Elah, and put their forces in order against the Philistines.
Ligeledes samlede Saul og Israels Mænd sig og slog Lejr i Terebintedalen og gjorde sig rede til at angribe Filisterne.
3 The Philistines were stationed on the mountain on one side and Israel on the mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
Filisterne stod ved Bjerget på den ene Side, Israeliterne ved Bjerget på den anden, med Dalen imellem sig.
4 And a fighter came out from the tents of the Philistines, named Goliath of Gath; he was more than six cubits tall.
Da trådte en Tvekæmper ved Navn Goliat fra Gat ud af Filisternes Rækker, seks Alen og et Spand høj.
5 And he had a head-dress of brass on his head, and he was dressed in a coat of metal, the weight of which was five thousand shekels of brass.
Han havde en Kobberhjelm på Hovedet, var iført en Skælbrynje, hvis Kobber vejede 5000 Sekel,
6 His legs were covered with plates of brass and hanging on his back was a javelin of brass.
og havde Kobberskinner på Benene og et Kobberspyd over Skulderen.
7 The stem of his spear was as long as a cloth-worker's rod, and its head was made of six hundred shekels' weight of iron: and one went before him with his body-cover.
Hans Spydstage var som en Væverbom, og hans Spydsod var af Jern og vejede 600 Sekel; hans Skjolddrager gik foran ham.
8 He took up his position and in a loud voice said to the armies of Israel, Why have you come out to make war? Am I not a Philistine and you servants of Saul? Send out a man for yourselves and let him come down to me.
Han stod frem og råbte over til Israels Slagrækker: "Hvorfor drager I ud til Angreb? Er jeg ikke en Filister og I Sauls Trælle? Vælg jer en Mand og lad ham komme herned til mig!
9 If he is able to have a fight with me and overcome me, then we will be your servants: but if I am able to overcome him, then you will be our servants and do work for us.
Hvis han kan tage Kampen op med mig og dræber mig, vil vi være eders Trælle, men får jeg Bugt med ham og dræber ham, skal I være vore Trælle og trælle for os!"
10 And the Philistine said, I have put to shame the armies of Israel this day; give me a man so that we may have a fight together.
Yderligere sagde Filisteren: "I Dag har jeg hånet Israels Slagrækker; kom med en Mand, så vi kan kæmpe sammen!"
11 And Saul and all Israel, hearing those words of the Philistine, were troubled and full of fear.
Da Saul og hele Israel hørte disse Filisterens Ord, blev de forfærdede og grebes af Rædsel.
12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Beth-lehem-judah named Jesse, who had eight sons; and he was an old man in Saul's day, and far on in years.
David var Søn af en Efratit i Betlehem i Juda ved Navn Isaj, som havde otte Sønner. Denne Mand var på Sauls Tid gammel og til Års.
13 And the three oldest sons of Jesse had gone with Saul to the fight: the names of the three who went to the fight were Eliab, the oldest, and Abinadab the second, and Shammah the third.
Isajs tre ældste Sønner havde fulgt Saul i Krigen, og Navnene på hans tre ældste Sønner, som var draget i Krigen, var Eliab, den førstefødte, Abinadab, den næstældste, og Sjamma, den tredje;
14 And David was the youngest: and the three oldest were with Saul's army.
David var den yngste. De tre ældste havde fulgt Saul;
15 Now David went to and from Saul, looking after his father's sheep at Beth-lehem.
og David gik af og til hjem fra Saul for at vogte sin Faders Småkvæg i Betlehem.
16 And the Philistine came near every morning and evening for forty days.
Men Filisteren trådte frem og tilbød Kamp hver Morgen og Aften i fyrretyve Dage.
17 And Jesse said to his son David, Take now for your brothers an ephah of this dry grain and these ten cakes of bread, and go quickly with them to the tents to your brothers;
Nu sagde Isaj engang til sin Søn David: "Tag en Efa af det ristede Korn her og disse ti Brød til dine Brødre og løb hen til dem i Lejren med det
18 And take these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers are and come back with a sign to say how they are.
og bring disse ti Skiver Flødeost til Tusindføreren; og se så, hvorledes det går dine Brødre, og få et Pant af dem;
19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
Saul ligger med dem og alle Israels Mænd i Terebintedalen og kæmper med Filisterne!"
20 And David got up early in the morning, and, giving the sheep into the care of a keeper, took the things and went as Jesse had said; and he came to the lines where the carts were, when the army was going out to the fight giving their war-cry.
Næste Morgen tidlig overlod David Småkvæget til en Vogter, tog Sagerne og gav sig på Vej, som Isaj havde pålagt ham; og han kom til Vognborgen, netop som Hæren rykkede ud til Slag og opløftede Kampråbet.
21 And Israel and the Philistines had put their forces in position, army against army.
Både Israel og Filisterne stod rede til Kamp, Slagorden mod Slagorden.
22 And David gave his parcels into the hands of the keeper of the army stores, and went running to the army and came to his brothers to get knowledge about them.
David lagde sine Sager fra sig og overlod dem til Vagten ved Trosset, løb ind mellem Slagrækkerne og gik hen og hilste på sine Brødre.
23 And while he was talking to them, the fighter, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, came out from the Philistines' lines and said the same words, in David's hearing.
Medens han talte med dem, se, da kom Tvekæmperen - Filisteren Goliat hed han og var fra Gat - frem fra Filisternes Slagrækker og talte, som han plejede, medens David hørte på det.
24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw him, went in flight, overcome with fear.
Da Israels Mænd så Manden, flygtede de alle rædselsslagne for ham.
25 And the men of Israel said, Have you seen this man? Clearly he has come out to put shame on Israel: and it is certain that if any man overcomes him, the king will give that man great wealth, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's family free in Israel.
Og Israels Mænd sagde: "Ser I den Mand, som kommer der? Det er for at håne Israel, han kommer; den, som dræber ham, vil Kongen give stor Rigdom; sin Datter vil han give ham, og hans Fædrenehus vil han fritage for Skat i Israel!"
26 And David said to the men near him, What will be done to the man who overcomes this Philistine and takes away the shame from Israel? for who is this Philistine, a man without circumcision, that he has put shame on the armies of the living God?
David spurgte da de Mænd, som stod om ham: "Hvilken Løn får den, som dræber denne Filister og tager Skammen fra Israel? Thi hvem er vel denne uomskårne Filister, at han vover at håne den levende Guds Slagrækker?"
27 And the people gave him this answer, So it will be done to the man who overcomes him.
Og Folkene gentog for ham: "Det og det får den, som dræber ham!"
28 And Eliab, his oldest brother, hearing what David said to the men, was moved to wrath against David, and said, Why have you come here? Into whose care have you given that little flock of sheep in the waste land? I have knowledge of your pride and the evil of your heart, you have come down to see the fight.
Men da hans ældste Broder Eliab hørte ham tale med Mændene, blev han vred på David og sagde: "Hvad vil du her? Og hvem har du overladt de stakkels Får i Ørkenen? Jeg kender dit Overmod og dit Hjertes Ondskab; du kom jo herned for at se på Kampen!"
29 And David said, What have I done now? was it not only a word?
Da sagde David: "Hvad har jeg nu gjort? Det var jo da kun et Spørgsmål!"
30 And turning away from him to one of the other men, he said the same words: and the people gave him the same answer.
Og han vendte sig fra ham til en anden og sagde det samme, og Folkene svarede ham som før.
31 And, hearing what David said, they gave Saul word of it: and he sent for him.
Imidlertid rygtedes det, hvad David havde sagt; det kom også Saul for Øre, og han lod ham hente.
32 And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart become feeble because of him; I, your servant, will go out and have a fight with this Philistine.
Da sagde David til Saul: "Min Herre må ikke tabe Modet! Din Træl vil gå hen og kæmpe med den Filister!"
33 And Saul said to David, You are not able to go out against this Philistine and have a fight with him: for you are only a boy, and he has been a man of war from his earliest days.
Saul svarede David: "Du kan ikke gå hen og kæmpe med den Filister; thi du er en ung Mand, og han har været Kriger fra sin Ungdom!"
34 And David said to Saul, Your servant has been keeper of his father's sheep; and if a lion or a bear came and took a lamb from the flock,
Men David sagde til Saul: "Din Træl har vogtet sin Faders Små kvæg; og kom der en Løve eller en Bjørn og slæbte et Dyr bort fra Hjorden,
35 I went out after him, and overcame him, and took it out of his mouth: and if, turning on me, he came at me, I took him by the hair and overcame him and put him to death.
løb jeg efter den og slog den og rev det ud af Gabet på den; kastede den sig så over mig, greb jeg den i Skægget og slog den ihjel.
36 Your servant has overcome lion and bear: and the fate of this Philistine, who is without circumcision, will be like theirs, seeing that he has put shame on the armies of the living God.
Både Løve og Bjørn har din Træl dræbt, og det skal gå denne uomskårne Filister som en at dem; thi han har hånet den levende Guds Slagrækker!"
37 And David said, The Lord, who kept me safe from the grip of the lion and the bear, will be my saviour from the hands of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go! and may the Lord be with you.
Fremdeles sagde David: "HERREN, som har reddet mig fra Løvers og Bjørnes Vold, vil også redde mig fra denne Filisters Hånd!"Da sagde Saul til David: "Gå! HERREN være med dig!"
38 Then Saul gave David his clothing of war, and put a head-dress of brass on his head and had him clothed with a coat of metal.
Saul iførte nu David sin Våbenkjortel, satte en Kobberhjelm på hans Hoved, iførte ham en Brynje
39 And David took Saul's sword and put the band round him over the metal coat, and was unable to go forward; for he was not used to them. Then David said to Saul, It is not possible for me to go out with these, for I am not used to them. So David took them off.
og spændte sit Sværd om ham over Våbenkjortelen; men det var forgæves, han søgte at gå dermed, thi han havde aldrig prøvet det før. Da sagde David til Saul: "Jeg kan ikke gå dermed, thi jeg har aldrig prøvet det før!" Og David tog det af.
40 Then he took his stick in his hand, and got five smooth stones from the bed of the stream and put them in a bag such as is used by sheep-keepers; and in his hand was a leather band used for sending stones: and so he went in the direction of the Philistine.
Derpå tog han sin Stav i Hånden og udsøgte sig fem af de glatteste Sten i Flodlejet, lagde dem i sin Hyrdetaske, der tjente ham som Slyngestenstaske, tog sin Slynge i Hånden og gik mod Filisteren.
41 And the Philistine came nearer to David; and the man who had his body-cover went before him.
Imidlertid kom Filisteren David nærmere og nærmere med Skjolddrageren foran sig;
42 And when the Philistine, taking note, saw David, he had a poor opinion of him: for he was only a boy, red-haired and good-looking.
og da Filisteren så til og fik Øje på David, ringeagtede han ham, fordi han var en ung Mand, rødmosset og smuk at se til.
43 And the Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that you come out to me with sticks? And the Philistine put curses on David by all his gods.
Og Filisteren sagde til David:"Er jeg en Hund, siden du kommer imod mig med en Stav?" Og Filisteren forbandede David ved sin Gud.
44 And the Philistine said to David, Come here to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field.
Derpå sagde Filisteren til David: "Kom herhen, så skal jeg give Himmelens Fugle og Markens vilde Dyr dit Kød!"
45 Then David said to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword and a spear and a javelin: but I come to you in the name of the Lord of armies, the God of the armies of Israel on which you have put shame.
David svarede Filisteren: "Du kommer imod mig med Sværd og Spyd og kastevåben, men jeg kommer imod dig i Hærskarers HERREs, Israels Slagrækkers Guds, Navn, ham, du har hånet.
46 This day the Lord will give you up into my hands, and I will overcome you, and take your head off you; and I will give the bodies of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth today, so that all the earth may see that Israel has a God;
I Dag giver HERREN dig i min Hånd; jeg skal slå dig ned og hugge Hovedet af dig og i Dag give Himmelens Fugle og Jordens vilde Dyr din og Filisterhærens døde Kroppe, for at hele Jorden kan kende, at der er en Gud i Israel,
47 And all these people who are here today may see that the Lord does not give salvation by sword and spear: for the fight is the Lord's, and he will give you up into our hands.
og for at hele denne Forsamling kan kende, at HERREN ikke giver Sejr ved Sværd eller Spyd; thi HERREN råder for Kampen, og han vil give eder i vor Hånd!"
48 Now when the Philistine made a move and came near to David, David quickly went at a run in the direction of the army, meeting the Philistine face to face.
Da Filisteren nu satte sig i Bevægelse og gik nærmere hen imod David, løb David hurtigt hen imod Slagrækken for at møde Filisteren.
49 And David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone and sent it from his leather band straight at the Philistine, and the stone went deep into his brow, and he went down to the earth, falling on his face.
Og David greb ned i Tasken, tog en Sten af den, slyngede den ud og ramte Filisteren i Panden, så Stenen trængte ind i hans Pande, og han styrtede næsegrus til Jorden.
50 So David overcame the Philistine with his leather band and a stone, wounding the Philistine and causing his death: but David had no sword in his hand.
Således fik David Bugt med Filisteren med Slynge og Sten, og han slog Filisteren ihjel, skønt han ikke havde Sværd i Hånden.
51 So running up to the Philistine and putting his foot on him, David took his sword out of its cover, and put him to death, cutting off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their fighter was dead, they went in flight.
Så løb David hen ved Siden af Filisteren, greb hans Sværd, drog det af Skeden og gav ham Dødsstødet og huggede Hovedet af ham dermed. Da Filisterne så, at deres Helt var død, flygtede de;
52 And the men of Israel and of Judah got up, and gave a cry, and went after the Philistines as far as Gath and the town doors of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines were falling down by the road from Shaaraim all the way to Gath and Ekron.
men Israels og Judas Mænd satte sig i Bevægelse, opløftede Kampråbet og forfulgte Filisterne lige til Gat og Ekrons Porte, og de faldne Filistere lå på Vejen fra Sja'arajim lige til Gat og Ekron.
53 Then the children of Israel came back from going after the Philistines, and took their goods from the tents.
Derpå vendte Israeliterne tilbage fra Forfølgelsen af Filisterne og plyndrede deres Lejr.
54 And David took the head of the Philistine to Jerusalem, but the metal war-dress and the arms he put in his tent.
Og David tog Filisterens Hoved og bragte det til Jerusalem, men hans Våben lagde han i sit Telt.
55 And when Saul saw David going out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the army, Abner, whose son is this young man? And Abner said, On your life, O king, I have no idea.
Da Saul så David gå imod Filisteren, sagde han til Hærføreren Abner: "Hvis Søn er denne unge Mand, Abner?" Abner svarede: "Så sandt du lever, Konge, jeg ved det ikke!"
56 And the king said, Make search and see whose son this young man is.
Da sagde Kongen: "Forhør dig om, hvis Søn denne Yngling er!"
57 And when David was coming back after the destruction of the Philistine, Abner took him to Saul, with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
Da så David vendte tilbage efter at have dræbt Filisteren, tog Abner ham og førte ham frem for Saul, og han havde Filisterens Hoved i Hånden.
58 And Saul said to him, Young man, whose son are you? And David in answer said, I am the son of your servant Jesse of Beth-lehem.
Saul sagde til ham: "Hvis Søn er du, unge Mand?" David svarede: "Jeg er Søn af din Træl, Betlehemiten Isaj!"
