2 Når jeg overfalder ham, medens han er udmattet og modfalden, kan jeg indjage ham Skræk, og alle hans Folk vil flygte, så at jeg kan fælde Kongen uden at røre nogen anden;
2 I will come upon him while he is weary and exhausted and terrify him, so that all the people who are with him will flee. Then I will strike down the king alone,
3 så bringer jeg hele Folket tilbage til dig, som en Brud vender tilbage til sin Mand. Du attrår jo dog kun en enkelt Mands Liv, og hele Folket vil da være uskadt!"
3 and I will bring back all the people to you. The return of everyone depends on the man you seek; then all the people will be at peace.”
8 Og Husjaj sagde fremdeles: "Du ved, at din Fader og hans Mænd er Helte, og bitre i Hu er de som en Bjørn på Marken, hvem Ungerne er taget fra; desuden er din Fader en rigtig Kriger, som ikke lægger sig til Hvile om Natten med Folkene.
8 Moreover, Hushai said, “You know your father and his men, that they are mighty men and they are fierce, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field. And your father is an expert in warfare, and will not spend the night with the people.
9 For Øjeblikket holder han sig sikkert skjult i en Kløft eller et andet Sted; falder der nu straks i Begyndelsen nogle af Folkene, vil det rygtes, og man vil sige, at Absalons Tilhængere har lidt Nederlag;
9 Behold, he has now hidden himself in one of the caves or in another place; and it will be when he falls on them at the first attack, that whoever hears it will say, ‘There has been a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.’
10 og da bliver selv den tapre, hvis Mod er som Løvens, forsagt; thi hele Israel ved, at din Fader er en Helt og hans Ledsagere tapre Mænd.
10 And even the one who is valiant, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will completely lose heart; for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man and those who are with him are valiant men.
11 Mit Råd er derfor: Lad hele Israel fra Dan til Be'ersjeba samles om dig, talrigt som Sandet ved Havet, og drag selv med i deres Midte.
11 But I counsel that all Israel be surely gathered to you, from Dan even to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea in abundance, and that you personally go into battle.
12 Støder vi så på ham et eller andet Sted, hvor han nu befinder sig, kan vi falde over ham som Dug over Jorden, og der skal ikke blive en eneste tilbage, hverken han eller nogen af alle hans Mænd;
12 So we shall come to him in one of the places where he can be found, and we will fall on him as the dew falls on the ground; and of him and of all the men who are with him, not even one will be left.
13 men kaster han sig ind i en By, skal hele Israel lægge Reb om den, og vi vil slæbe den ned i Dalen, så der ikke bliver Sten på Sten tilbage af den!" Da sagde Absalon og alle Israels Mænd: "Arkiten Husjajs Råd er bedre end Akitofels!"
13 If he withdraws into a city, then all Israel shall bring ropes to that city, and we will drag it into the valley until not even a small stone is found there.”
14 HERREN havde nemlig sat sig for at gøre Akitofels gode Råd til Skamme, for at HERREN kunde bringe Ulykke over Absalon.
14 Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.” For the Lord had ordained to thwart the good counsel of Ahithophel, so that the Lord might bring calamity on Absalom.
15 Derpå sagde Husjaj til Præsterne Zadok og Ebjatar: "Det og det Råd har Akitofel givet Absalon og Israels Ældste, og det og det Råd har jeg givet.
15 Then Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, “This is what Ahithophel counseled Absalom and the elders of Israel, and this is what I have counseled.
16 Skynd eder nu at sende Bud til David og bring ham det Bud: Bliv ikke Natten over ved vadestederne på Jordansletten, men søg over på den anden Side, for at ikke Kongen og alle hans Folk skal gå til Grunde!"
16 Now therefore, send quickly and tell David, saying, ‘Do not spend the night at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means cross over, or else the king and all the people who are with him will be destroyed.’”
17 Jonatan og Ahima'az stod ved Rogelkilden, hvorhen en Tjenestepige til Stadighed kom og bragte dem Melding, hvorefter de gik hen og bragte Kong David Melding; thi de turde ikke vise sig i Byen.
17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En-rogel, and a maidservant would go and tell them, and they would go and tell King David, for they could not be seen entering the city.
18 Men en ung Mand opdagede dem og meldte det til Absalon; så skyndte de sig begge bort og kom ind hos en Mand i Bahurim. Han havde en Brønd i Gården, og i den steg de ned;
18 But a lad did see them and told Absalom; so the two of them departed quickly and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his courtyard, and they went down into it.
20 Nu kom Absalons Folk imod i Huset til Konen og spurgte: "Hvor er Ahima'az og Jonatan?" Konen svarede: "De gik over Vandbækken!" Så søgte de efter dem, men da de ikke fandt dem, vendte de tilbage til Jerusalem.
20 Then Absalom’s servants came to the woman at the house and said, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” And the woman said to them, “They have crossed the brook of water.” And when they searched and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
21 Så snart de var gået bort, steg de to op af Brønden og gik hen og bragte Kong David Melding; og de sagde til David: "Bryd op og skynd eder over på den anden Side af Vandet; thi det og det Råd kom Akitofel med angående eder!"
21 It came about after they had departed that they came up out of the well and went and told King David; and they said to David, “Arise and cross over the water quickly for thus Ahithophel has counseled against you.”
23 Men da Akitofel så, at hans Råd ikke blev fulgt, sadlede han sit Æsel og drog hjem til sin By; og efter at have beskikket sit Hus hængte han sig og døde. Han blev jordet i sin Faders Grav.
23 Now when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his donkey and arose and went to his home, to his city, and set his house in order, and strangled himself; thus he died and was buried in the grave of his father.
25 Absalon havde i Joabs Sted sat Amasa over Hæren; Amasa var Søn af en Ismaelit ved Navn Jitra, som var gået ind til Abigajil, en Datter af Isaj og Søster til Joabs Moder Zeruja.
25 Absalom set Amasa over the army in place of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Ithra the Israelite, who went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, Joab’s mother.
27 Men da David kom til Mahaoajim, bragte Sjobi, Nahasj's Søn fra Rabba i Ammon, Makir, Ammiels Søn fra Lodebar, og Gileaditen Barzillaj fra Rogelim
27 Now when David had come to Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, Machir the son of Ammiel from Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim,
29 Honning, Surmælk, Småkvæg og Komælksost bragte de David og hans Folk til Føde; thi de tænkte: "Folkene er sultne, udmattede og tørstige i Ørkenen."
29 honey, curds, sheep, and cheese of the herd, for David and for the people who were with him, to eat; for they said, “The people are hungry and weary and thirsty in the wilderness.”
