I Samuel 19

And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David.
Saul talte nu med sin Søn Jonatan og alle sine Folk om at slå David ihjel. Men Sauls Søn Jonatan holdt meget af David.
But Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:
Derfor fortalte Jonatan David det og sagde: "Min Fader Saul står dig efter Livet; tag dig derfor i Vare i Morgen, gem dig og hold dig skjult!
And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I see, that I will tell thee.
Men jeg vil gå ud og stille mig hen hos min Fader på Marken der, hvor du er; så vil jeg tale til ham om dig, og hvis jeg mærker noget, vil jeg lade dig det vide."
And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward very good:
Så talte Jonatan Davids Sag hos sin Fader Saul og sagde til ham: "Kongen forsynde sig ikke mod sin Træl David; thi han har ikke forsyndet sig mod dig, og hvad han har udrettet, har gavnet dig meget;
For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?
han vovede Livet for at dræbe Filisteren, og HERREN gav hele Israel en stor Sejr. Du så det selv og glædede dig derover; hvorfor vil du da forsynde dig ved uskyldigt Blod og dræbe David uden Grund?"
And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain.
Og Saul lyttede til Jonatans Ord, og Saul svor: "Så sandt HERREN lever, han skal ikke blive dræbt!"
And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan shewed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.
Derpå lod Jonatan David hente og fortalte ham det hele; og Jonatan førte David til Saul, og han var om ham som før.
And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled from him.
Men Krigen fortsattes, og David drog i Kamp mod Filisterne og tilføjede dem et stort Nederlag, så de flygtede for ham.
And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand.
Da kom der en ond Ånd fra HERREN over Saul, og engang han sad i sit Hus med sit Spyd i Hånden, medens David legede på Strengene,
And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.
søgte Saul at spidde David til Væggen med Spydet; men han veg til Side for Saul, så han jog Spydet i Væggen, medens David flygtede og undslap.
Saul also sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David's wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to night, to morrow thou shalt be slain.
Om Natten sendte Saul Folk til Davids Hus for at passe på ham og dræbe ham om Morgenen. Men Davids Hustru Mikal røbede ham det og sagde: "Hvis du ikke redder dit Liv i Nat, er du dødsens i Morgen!"
So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
Så hejste Mikal David ned igennem Vinduet, og han flygtede bort og undslap.
And Michal took an image, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster, and covered it with a cloth.
Derpå tog Mikal Husguden, lagde den i Sengen, bredte et Gedehårsnet over Hovedet på den og dækkede den til med et Tæppe.
And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.
Da nu Saul sendte Folk hen for at hente David, sagde hun: "Han er syg."
And Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.
Men Saul sendte Sendebudene hen for at se David, idet han sagde: "Bring ham på Sengen op til mig, for at jeg kan dræbe ham!"
And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster.
Da Sendebudene kom derhen, opdagede de, at det var Husguden, der lå i Sengen med Gedehårsnettet over Hovedet.
And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?
Da sagde Saul til Mikal: "Hvorfor førte du mig således bag Lyset og hjalp min fjende bort, så han undslap?" Mikal svarede Saul:"Han sagde til mig: Hjælp mig bort, ellers slår jeg dig ihjel!"
So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.
Men David var flygtet og havde bragt sig i Sikkerhed. Derpå gik han til Samuel i Rama og fortalte ham alt, hvad Saul havde gjort imod ham; og han og Samuel gik hen og tog Ophold i Najot.
And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.
Da nu Saul fik at vide, at David var i Najot i Rama,
And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
sendte han Folk ud for at hente David; men da de så Profetskaren i profetisk Henrykkelse og Samuel stående hos dem, kom Guds Ånd over Sauls Sendebud, så at også de faldt i profetisk Henrykkelse.
And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.
Da Saul hørte det, sendte han andre Folk af Sted; men også de faldt i Henrykkelse. Så sendte Saul på ny, tredje Gang, Folk af Sted; men også de faldt i Henrykkelse.
Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.
Da begav han sig selv til Rama, og da han kom til Cisternen på Tærskepladsen, som ligger på den nøgne Høj, spurgte han: "Hvor er Samuel og David?" Man svarede: "I Najot i Rama!"
And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
Men da han gik derfra til Najot i Rama, kom Guds Ånd også over ham, og han gik i Henrykkelse hele Vejen, lige til han nåede Najot i Rama.
And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?
Da rev også han sine Klæder af sig, og han var i Henrykkelse foran Samuel og faldt nøgen om og blev liggende således hele den Dag og den følgende Nat. Derfor hedder det: "Er også Saul iblandt Profeterne?"
