Anden Samuelsbog 12 |
| 1992 | King James Version |
| 1 Da sendte Herren Natan til David, og han kom til ham og sagde: "Der var to mænd i samme by; den ene var rig, den anden fattig. | 1 And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor. |
| 2 Den rige havde får og køer i mængde, | 2 The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds: |
| 3 den fattige havde kun et eneste lille lam, som han havde købt. Han tog sig godt af det, det voksede sig stort hjemme hos ham og børnene. Det spiste af hans brød, det drak af hans bæger, og det lå i hans skød, som om det var hans datter. | 3 But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter. |
| 4 En dag fik den rige besøg, men han nænnede ikke at tage af sine egne får eller okser og tilberede det til den vejfarende, der var kommet til ham. Så tog han den fattige mands lam og tilberedte det til manden, der var kommet." | 4 And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him. |
| 5 Davids vrede flammede voldsomt op mod den mand, og han sagde til Natan: "Så sandt Herren lever: Den mand, der gør sådan, skal dø, | 5 And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the LORD liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die: |
| 6 og lammet skal han erstatte firedobbelt, fordi han har handlet så hjerteløst!" | 6 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity. |
| 7 Da sagde Natan til David: "Du er manden! Dette siger Herren, Israels Gud: Jeg salvede dig til konge over Israel, og jeg reddede dig fra Saul. | 7 And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; |
| 8 Jeg gav dig din herres hus og lagde din herres hustruer i din favn, og jeg gav dig Israels hus og Judas hus. Og skulle det ikke være nok, havde jeg gerne givet dig langt mere. | 8 And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things. |
| 9 Hvorfor har du vist foragt for Herrens ord og gjort, hvad der er ondt i hans øjne? Hittitten Urias har du slået ihjel. Hans kone har du giftet dig med, og ham selv har du hugget ned med ammonitternes sværd. | 9 Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. |
| 10 Fra nu af skal sværdet aldrig vige fra dit hus, for du har vist foragt for mig og giftet dig med hittitten Urias' kone. | 10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. |
| 11 Dette siger Herren: Jeg vil lade ulykken ramme dig fra din egen familie. For øjnene af dig vil jeg tage dine hustruer og give dem til en anden, som ganske åbenlyst skal ligge med dem. | 11 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. |
| 12 Du har handlet i det skjulte, men jeg vil handle i fuld åbenhed over for hele Israel." | 12 For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun. |
| 13 Da sagde David til Natan: "Jeg har syndet mod Herren." Natan svarede David: "Så tilgiver Herren din synd. Du skal ikke dø. | 13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. |
| 14 Men siden du har givet Herrens fjender anledning til at spotte, skal den søn, du har fået, dø." | 14 Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die. |
| 15 Så gik Natan hjem. Herren lod den dreng, Urias' kone havde født David, blive ramt af sygdom. | 15 And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick. |
| 14 Da bad David til Gud for drengen. Han fastede strengt og gik hen og lagde sig på jorden om natten. | 14 David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth. |
| 17 De ældste ved hoffet mødte op for at få ham til at rejse sig, men det nægtede han, og han ville heller ikke spise sammen med dem. | 17 And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them. |
| 18 På den syvende dag døde drengen, og Davids folk turde ikke fortælle ham, at drengen var død, for de tænkte: "Mens drengen endnu var i live, ville han ikke høre, hvad vi sagde til ham. Hvordan skal vi nu få sagt til ham, at drengen erdød? Han kunne | 18 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead? |
| 19 Da David så, hvordan hans folk gik rundt og hviskede sammen, forstod han, at drengen var død. Han spurgte dem, om drengen var død, og de svarede: "Ja, han er." | 19 But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead. |
| 20 Så rejste David sig fra jorden, vaskede sig, salvede sig, skiftede tøj og gik ind i Herrens hus for at tilbede. Derpå gik han hjem og bad om at få mad sat frem, og så spiste han. | 20 Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat. |
| 21 Hans folk spurgte ham: "Hvordan er det, du bærer dig ad? Mens drengen var i live, fastede og græd du, men næppe er han død, før du står op og spiser." | 21 Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread. |
| 22 Han svarede: "Så længe drengen var i live, fastede og græd jeg, for jeg tænkte: Måske vil Herren være nådig imod mig og lade drengen leve. | 22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live? |
| 23 Men nu da han er død, hvorfor skulle jeg så faste? Kan jeg få ham tilbage igen? Jeg må følge efter ham, han kommer ikke tilbage til mig." | 23 But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me. |
| 24 David trøstede Batseba, sin hustru. Han gik ind tilhende og lå med hende. Hun fødte en søn, som han gav navnet Salomo. | 24 And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him. |
| 25 Ham elskede Herren, og han sendte bud gennem profeten Natan, at hans navn skulle være Jedidja for Herrens skyld. | 25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD. |
| 26 Joab var gået til angreb på ammonitternes Rabba og havde indtaget kongebyen. | 26 And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city. |
| 27 Han sendte bud til David: "Jeg har angrebet Rabba og indtaget vandbyen. | 27 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters. |
| 28 Kald nu resten af hæren sammen, så du kan belejre og indtage byen, for at det ikke skal blive mig, der indtager den og får mit navn udråbt over den." | 28 Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it be called after my name. |
| 29 David samlede hele hæren og drog mod Rabba, angreb den og indtog den. | 29 And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it. |
| 30 Fra Milkoms hoved fjernede han guldkronen, der vejede en talent, og en ædelsten. Den blev anbragt på Davids hoved. Fra byen tog han et vældigt bytte, | 30 And he took their king's crown from off his head, the weight whereof was a talent of gold with the precious stones: and it was set on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance. |
| 31 indbyggerne førte han med sig, og han satte dem til at arbejde med sav, jernhakke og jernøkse eller overførte dem til arbejdet ved teglstensformene. Således gik han til værks over for alle ammonitternes byer. Derefter vendte han tilbage til Jerusalem med hele hæren. | 31 And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem. |
