1 Men David flygtede fra Najot i Rama og kom til Jonatan og sagde: "Hvad har jeg gjort? Hvad er min Brøde? Og hvad er min Synd mod din Fader, siden han står mig efter Livet?"
1 Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said to Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? And what is my sin before your father, that he is seeking my life?”
2 Han svarede: "Det være langt fra! Du skal ikke dø! Min Fader foretager sig jo intet, hverken stort eller småt, uden at lade mig det vide; hvorfor skulde min Fader så dølge dette for mig? Der er intet om det!"
2 He said to him, “Far from it, you shall not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small without disclosing it to me. So why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so!”
3 Men David svarede: "Din Fader ved sikkert, at du har fattet Godhed for mig, og tænker så: Det må Jonatan ikke få at vide, at det ikke skal gøre ham ondt; nej, så sandt HERREN lever, og så sandt du lever, der er kun et Skridt imellem mig og Døden!"
3 Yet David vowed again, saying, “Your father knows well that I have found favor in your sight, and he has said, ‘Do not let Jonathan know this, or he will be grieved.’ But truly as the Lord lives and as your soul lives, there is hardly a step between me and death.”
5 David sagde til Jonatan: "I Morgen er det jo Nymånedag, og jeg skulde sidde til Bords med Kongen; men lad mig gå bort og skjule mig på Marken indtil Aften.
5 So David said to Jonathan, “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I ought to sit down to eat with the king. But let me go, that I may hide myself in the field until the third evening.
6 Hvis din Fader savner mig, så sig: David har bedt mig om Lov til at skynde sig til Betlehem, sin Fødeby, da hele hans Slægt har sit årlige Slagtoffer der.
6 If your father misses me at all, then say, ‘David earnestly asked leave of me to run to Bethlehem his city, because it is the yearly sacrifice there for the whole family.’
8 Vis din Træl den Godhed, siden du er gået i Pagt med din Træl for HERRENs Åsyn. Men har jeg forbrudt mig, så slå du mig ihjel; thi hvorfor skulde du bringe mig til din Fader?"
8 Therefore deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the Lord with you. But if there is iniquity in me, put me to death yourself; for why then should you bring me to your father?”
9 Jonatan svarede: "Det være langt fra! Hvis jeg virkelig kommer under Vejr med, at min Fader vil din Ulykke, skulde jeg så ikke lade dig det vide?"
9 Jonathan said, “Far be it from you! For if I should indeed learn that evil has been decided by my father to come upon you, then would I not tell you about it?”
12 Da sagde Jonatan til David: "HERREN, Israels Gud, er Vidne: Jeg vil i Morgen ved denne Tid udforske min Faders Sindelag, og hvis der ingen Fare er for David, skulde jeg da ikke sende dig Bud og lade dig det vide?
12 Then Jonathan said to David, “The Lord, the God of Israel, be witness! When I have sounded out my father about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if there is good feeling toward David, shall I not then send to you and make it known to you?
13 HERREN ramme Jonatan både med det ene og det andet: Hvis det er min Faders bestemte Vilje at bringe Ulykke over dig, vil jeg lade dig det vide og hjælpe dig bort, så du kan fare i Fred.
13 If it please my father to do you harm, may the Lord do so to Jonathan and more also, if I do not make it known to you and send you away, that you may go in safety. And may the Lord be with you as He has been with my father.
19 men i Overmorgen vil du blive savnet endnu mere; gå så hen til det Sted, hvor du holdt dig skjult, den Dag Skændselsdåden skulde have fundet Sted, og sæt dig ved Jorddyngen der;
19 When you have stayed for three days, you shall go down quickly and come to the place where you hid yourself on that eventful day, and you shall remain by the stone Ezel.
21 Jeg sender så Drengen hen for at lede efter Pilen, og hvis jeg da siger til ham: Pilen ligger her på denne Side af dig, hent den! så kan du komme; thi da står alt vel til for dig, og der er ingen Fare, så sandt HERREN lever.
21 And behold, I will send the lad, saying, ‘Go, find the arrows.’ If I specifically say to the lad, ‘Behold, the arrows are on this side of you, get them,’ then come; for there is safety for you and no harm, as the Lord lives.
27 Men da Davids Plads også stod tom næste Dag, Dagen efter Nymånedagen, sagde Saul til sin Søn Jonatan: "Hvorfor kom Isajs Søn hverken til Måltidet i Går eller i Dag?"
27 It came about the next day, the second day of the new moon, that David’s place was empty; so Saul said to Jonathan his son, “Why has the son of Jesse not come to the meal, either yesterday or today?”
29 han sagde: Lad mig gå, thi vor Slægt har Offerfest der i Byen, og mine Brødre har pålagt mig at komme; hvis du har Godhed for mig, lad mig så få fri, for at jeg kan besøge mine Slægtninge! Det er Grunden til, at han ikke er kommet til Kongens Bord!"
29 for he said, ‘Please let me go, since our family has a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has commanded me to attend. And now, if I have found favor in your sight, please let me get away that I may see my brothers.’ For this reason he has not come to the king’s table.”
30 Da blussede Sauls Vrede op imod Jonatan, og han sagde til ham; "Du Søn af en vanartet Kvinde! Ved jeg ikke, at du er Ven med Isajs Søn til Skam for dig selv og for din Moders Blusel?
30 Then Saul’s anger burned against Jonathan and he said to him, “You son of a perverse, rebellious woman! Do I not know that you are choosing the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness?
31 Thi så længe Isajs Søn er i Live på Jorden, er hverken du eller dit Kongedømme i Sikkerhed. Send derfor Bud og hent ham til mig, thi han er dødsens!"
31 For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, neither you nor your kingdom will be established. Therefore now, send and bring him to me, for he must surely die.”
34 Og Jonatan rejste sig fra Bordet i heftig Vrede og spiste intet den anden Nymånedag, thi det gjorde ham ondt for David, at hans Fader havde smædet ham.
34 Then Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did not eat food on the second day of the new moon, for he was grieved over David because his father had dishonored him.
41 Da Drengen var gået, rejste David sig fra sit Skjul ved Jorddyngen og faldt til Jorden på sit Ansigt og bøjede sig ned tre Gange. Og de kyssede hinanden og græd bitterlig sammen.
41 When the lad was gone, David rose from the south side and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed three times. And they kissed each other and wept together, but David wept the more.
42 Derpå sagde Jonatan til David: "Far i Fred! Om det, vi to har tilsvoret hinanden i HERRENs Navn, gælder, at HERREN står mellem mig og dig, mellem mine og dine Efterkommere for evigt!"
42 Jonathan said to David, “Go in safety, inasmuch as we have sworn to each other in the name of the Lord, saying, ‘The Lord will be between me and you, and between my descendants and your descendants forever.’” Then he rose and departed, while Jonathan went into the city.
