2 Samuel 21
1 There was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the LORD. The LORD said, "It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put to death the Gibeonites."
I Davids tid kom tri store uår etter kvarandre. Då gjorde David spursmål til Herren um det. Herren svara: «På Saul og hans hus kvilar blodskuld, av di han drap gibeonitarne.»
2 The king called the Gibeonites, and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn to them: and Saul sought to kill them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah.)
Kongen kalla då til seg Gibeon-mennerne og tala med deim. Gibeonitarne var ikkje israelitar, men var ei atterleiva av amoritarne. Endå Israels-borni hadde gjort eiden sin til deim, hadde Saul vore so ihuga for Israels-borni og for Juda, at han freista tyna deim.
3 And David said to the Gibeonites, "What shall I do for you? And with what shall I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of the LORD?"
David spurde no gibeonitarne: «Kva kann eg gjera for dykk? Korleis kann eg sona brotet, so de vil velsigna Herrens arvlut?»
4 The Gibeonites said to him, "It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul, or his house; neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel." He said, "Whatever you say, that will I do for you."
Gibeonitarne svara: «Ikkje sylv og gull krev me av Saul og hans hus. Og ikkje hev me lov å drepa nokon mann i Israel.» Han spurde: «Kva ynskjer det då eg skal gjera for dykk?»
5 They said to the king, "The man who consumed us, and who devised against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel,
Dei svara kongen: «Den mannen som vilde tyna oss og tenktest rydja oss ut, so me ikkje lenger skulde få halda oss nokon stad innanfor Israels landskil,
6 let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the LORD." The king said, "I will give them."
av hans etterkomarar må det gjeva oss sju mann, og me vil leggja deim på stegl for Herrens augo i Sauls Gibea, han som Herren valde ut.» Kongen sagde: «De skal eg gjera.»
7 But the king spared Mippibaal, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
Kongen sparde Mefiboset Jonatansson, soneson åt Saul, for skuld den eiden ved Herren som David og Jonatan Saulsson hadde svore einannan.
8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mippibaal; and the five sons of Merob the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
Derimot tok kongen dei tvo sønerne Armoni og Mefiboset som Saul hadde fenge med Rispa Ajadotter, og dei fem sønerne som Adriel Barzillaison frå Mehola hadde fenge med Mikal Saulsdotter.
9 He delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the mountain before the LORD, and all seven of them fell together. They were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.
Deim gav han yver til gibeonitarne. Og dei lagde deim på stegl på fjellet for Herrens augo. Dei fekk sin bane alle sju på ein gong. Det var dei fyrste skurddagarne, då byggskurden tok til, at dei let livet.
10 Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water was poured on them from the sky. She allowed neither the birds of the sky to rest on them by day, nor the animals of the field by night.
Rispa Ajadotter tok syrgjebunaden sin og breidde ut uppå fjellet frå skurdonni tok til, og til dess det strøymde regn yver deim frå himmelen. Ho let ikkje fuglarne under himmelen slå ned på deim um dagen, heller ikkje villdyri frå marki um natti.
11 It was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the secondary wife of Saul, had done.
Då David spurde det Rispa Ajadotter, fylgjekona åt Saul, hadde gjort,
12 David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, in the day that the Philistines killed Saul in Gilboa;
drog David av stad og let henta beini etter Saul og Jonatan, son hans, hjå borgarne i Jabes i Gilead. Dei hadde i løynd teke liki frå torget i Bet-San, der som filistarane hadde hengt deim upp då dei hadde slege Saul på Gilboa.
13 and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son: and they gathered the bones of those who were hanged.
Då han fekk ført beini etter Saul og Jonatan, son hans, upp derifrå, sanka dei i hop beini etter deim som var lagde på stegl,
14 They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. After that God was entreated for the land.
og gravlagde deim saman med beini etter Saul og Jonatan, son hans, i Benjaminslandet, i Sela, i gravi åt Kis, far hans. Dei gjorde alt det kongen baud. Og etterpå det vende Gud sin nåde til landet.
15 The Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines, and David became exhausted.
Det vart krig millom filistarane og Israel att. David drog ned med tenarane sine; og dei slost med filistarane. Men David trøytna.
16 And Dodo son of Joash, one of the descendants of the Raphah, captured him. His spear weighed three hundred bronze shekels, and he was girded with a new sword, and he thought he could kill David.
Jisbo-Benob, ein ætting av Rafa - han hadde eit spjot som vog tri hundrad lodd kopar, og han hadde spent um seg eit nytt sverd - han tenktest drepa David.
17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore, saying, "You must not go out to battle with us again, so that you do not extinguish the lamp of Israel."
Men Abisai Serujason hjelpte kongen og gav filistaren banehogg. Då svor Davids menner ein eid til honom, og sagde: «Du må aldri meir draga ut med oss i strid. Elles kann Israels lampa slokna.»
18 It came to pass after this, that there was again war with the Philistines at Gezer. Then Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Saph, a descendant of the Raphah.
So hende det sidan at det stod ein bardage med filistarane ved Gob. Då slo husatiten Sibbekai Saf av Rafa-ætti.
19 There was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
Då det endå ein gong stod eit slag mot filistarane ved Gob, gav Elhanan, son åt Ja’are-Orgim frå Betlehem, Goliat frå Gat banehogg, han som hadde eit spjotskaft so stort som ein vevbom.
20 There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.
Då det vart eit slag att ved Gat, var der ein storvaksen mann som hadde seks fingrar på kvar hand og seks tær på kvar fot, fire og tjuge til saman. Han var ogso utstokken frå Rafa-ætti.
21 When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah, David's brother, killed him.
Han svivyrde Israels-mennerne. Jonatan, son åt Simea, bror åt David, gav honom difor banehugg.
22 These four were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Desse fire var ætta frå Rafa i Gat. Og dei fall for David og mennerne hans.
