Anden Samuelsbog 1 |
| 1992 | King James Version |
| 1 Da Saul var død, og David var vendt tilbage fra sejren over amalekitterne og havde opholdt sig to dage i Siklag, | 1 Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag; |
| 2 kom der den tredje dag en mand fra Sauls hær med flængede klæder og jord strøet på hovedet. Da han kom hen til David, kastede han sig til jorden. | 2 It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance. |
| 3 "Hvor kommer du fra?" spurgte David, og han svarede: "Jeg er undsluppet fra Israels hær." | 3 And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped. |
| 4 David sagde da til ham: "Fortæl mig, hvad der er sket." Hansvarede: "Vores folk flygtede fra kampen, efter at mange var faldet; Saul og hans søn Jonatan er også døde." | 4 And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also. |
| 5 David spurgte budbringeren: "Hvordan ved du, at Saul og hans søn Jonatan er døde?" | 5 And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead? |
| 6 Budbringeren svarede: "Jeg var tilfældigvis på Gilboas-bjerg, og der stod Saul og støttede sig til sit spyd, mens vognene og rytterne trængte ind på ham. | 6 And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him. |
| 7 Han vendte sig om og fik øje på mig; så råbte han på mig, og jeg svarede ja. | 7 And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I. |
| 8 Han spurgte, hvem jeg var, og jeg svarede, at jeg var amalekit. | 8 And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite. |
| 9 Så sagde han til mig: 'Kom herhen og giv mig dødsstødet; jeg er i live endnu, men det sortner for mine øjne.' | 9 He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me. |
| 10 Jeg trådte hen til ham og gav ham dødsstødet, for jeg var klar over, at han ikke kunne overleve, når han først var faldet om. Jeg tog diademet, han havde på hovedet, og et armbånd, han havde om armen, og dem har jeg med til dig, herre." | 10 So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord. |
| 11 Da greb David fat i sine klæder og flængede dem; det samme gjorde alle de mænd, der var hos ham. | 11 Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him: |
| 12 De holdt ligklage, græd og fastede indtil aften over Saul og hans søn Jonatan og over Herrens folk og Israels hus, fordi de var faldet for sværdet. | 12 And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword. |
| 13 David spurgte budbringeren: "Hvor er du fra.?" og han svarede: "Jeg er søn af en amalekit, der bor her som fremmed." | 13 And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite. |
| 14 Da sagde David til ham: "Hvor vovede du at lægge hånd på Herrens salvede og dræbe ham?" | 14 And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed? |
| 15 David kaldte så på en af de unge mænd og sagde: "Kom her hen og hug ham ned!" Og han slog ham ihjel. David sagde til ham: "Dit blod kommer over dit eget hoved, for din egen mund vidnede imod dig, da du sagde: Jeg har givet Herrens salvede dødsstødet." | 15 And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD'S anointed. |
| 16 David kaldte så på en af de unge mænd og sagde: "Kom her hen og hug ham ned!" Og han slog ham ihjel. David sagde til ham: "Dit blod kommer over dit eget hoved, for din egen mund vidnede imod dig, da du sagde: Jeg har givet Herrens salvede dødsstødet." | 16 And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD'S anointed. |
| 17 Da sang David denne dødsklage over Saul og hans søn Jonatan. | 17 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son: |
| 18 Han sagde, at judæerne skulle lære Buesangen. Den står i De Retskafnes Bog. | 18 (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher. ) |
| 19 Din herlighed, Israel, ligger dræbt på dine høje. Ak, heltene er faldet! | 19 The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen! |
| 20 Fortæl det ikke i Gat, forkynd det ikke i Ashkalons gader, at ikke filistrenes døtre skal glæde sig, de uomskårnes døtre juble. | 20 Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph. |
| 21 Gilboas-bjerge, måtte I hverken få dug eller regn eller urdybs kildevæld! For der ligger heltenes skjolde tilsølet, Sauls skjold var ikke gnedet med olie. | 21 Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil. |
| 22 Uden faldnes blod og heltes fedt blev Jonatans bue aldrig sænket, aldrig vendte Sauls sværd umættet hjem. | 22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty. |
| 23 Saul og Jonatan, afholdte og elskede, de skiltes ikke i liv og død. De var hurtigere end ørne, stærkere end løver. | 23 Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions. |
| 24 Israels døtre, græd over Saul, som klædte jer yndigt i skarlagen og smykkede jeres klædning med guld. | 24 Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel. |
| 25 Ak, heltene er faldet i kampen, Jonatan ligger dræbt på dine høje! | 25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places. |
| 26 Jeg sørger over dig, Jonatan, min broder, jeg holdt inderligt af dig. Din kærlighed var mig mere dyrebar end kvinders. | 26 I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women. |
| 27 Ak, heltene er faldet, krigsvåbnene er tilintetgjort! | 27 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished! |
