3 medens den fattige ikke ejede andet end et eneste lille Lam, som han havde købt og opdrættet, og som var vokset op hos ham sammen med hans Børn; det åd af hans Brød, drak af hans Bæger og lå i hans Skød og var ham som en Datter.
3 “But the poor man had nothing except one little ewe lambWhich he bought and nourished;And it grew up together with him and his children.It would eat of his bread and drink of his cup and lie in his bosom,And was like a daughter to him.
4 Men da den rige Mand engang fik Besøg, ømmede han sig ved at tage noget af sit eget Småkvæg eller Hornkvæg og tillave det til den vejfarende Mand, som var kommet til ham, men tog den fattige Mands Lam og tillavede det til sin Gæst!"
4 “Now a traveler came to the rich man,And he was unwilling to take from his own flock or his own herd,To prepare for the wayfarer who had come to him;Rather he took the poor man’s ewe lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him.”
7 Men Natan sagde til David: "Du er Manden! Så siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Jeg salvede dig til Konge over Israel, og jeg friede dig af Sauls Hånd;
7 Nathan then said to David, “You are the man! Thus says the Lord God of Israel, ‘It is I who anointed you king over Israel and it is I who delivered you from the hand of Saul.
8 jeg gav dig din Herres Hus, lagde din Herres Hustruer i din Favn og gav dig Israels og Judas Hus; og var det for lidet, vilde jeg have givet dig endnu mere, både det ene og det andet.
8 I also gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your care, and I gave you the house of Israel and Judah; and if that had been too little, I would have added to you many more things like these!
9 Hvorfor har du da ringeagtet HERRENs Ord og gjort, hvad der er ondt i hans Øjne? Hetiten Urias har du dræbt med Sværdet; hans Hustru har du taget til Ægte, og ham har du slået ihjel med Ammoniternes Sværd.
9 Why have you despised the word of the Lord by doing evil in His sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword, have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the sons of Ammon.
11 Så siger HERREN: Se, jeg lader Ulykke komme over dig fra dit eget Hus, og jeg tager dine Hustruer bort for Øjnene af dig og giver dem til en anden, som skal ligge hos dine Hustruer ved højlys Dag.
11 Thus says the Lord, ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you from your own household; I will even take your wives before your eyes and give them to your companion, and he will lie with your wives in broad daylight.
18 Syvendedagen døde Barnet; men Davids Folk turde ikke lade ham vide, at Barnet var død, thi de tænkte: "Da Barnet levede, vilde han ikke låne os Øre, når vi talte til ham; hvor kan vi da nu sige til ham, at Barnet er død? Han kunde gøre en Ulykke!"
18 Then it happened on the seventh day that the child died. And the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Behold, while the child was still alive, we spoke to him and he did not listen to our voice. How then can we tell him that the child is dead, since he might do himself harm!”
19 Men da David så, at hans Folk hviskede sammen, skønnede han, at Barnet var død. Så spurgte David sine Folk: "Er Barnet død?" Og de svarede: "Ja, han er død!"
19 But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; so David said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” And they said, “He is dead.”
20 Da rejste David sig fra Jorden, tvættede og salvede sig, tog andre Klæder på og gik ind i HERRENs Hus og bad; så gik han hjem, forlangte at få Mad sat frem og spiste.
20 So David arose from the ground, washed, anointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he came into the house of the Lord and worshiped. Then he came to his own house, and when he requested, they set food before him and he ate.
21 Da sagde hans Folk til ham: "Hvorledes er det dog, du bærer dig ad? Medens Barnet endnu levede, fastede du og græd; og nu da Barnet er død, rejser du dig og spiser!"
21 Then his servants said to him, “What is this thing that you have done? While the child was alive, you fasted and wept; but when the child died, you arose and ate food.”
24 Derpå trøstede David sin Hustru Batseba, og efter at han var gået ind til hende og havde ligget hos hende, fødte hun en Søn, som han kaldte Salomo, og ham elskede HERREN.
24 Then David comforted his wife Bathsheba, and went in to her and lay with her; and she gave birth to a son, and he named him Solomon. Now the Lord loved him
28 kald nu Resten af Hæren sammen, så du kan belejre Byen og indtage den, 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 camp against the city and capture it, or I will capture the city myself and it will be named after me.”
30 Og han tog Kronen af Milkoms Hoved; den var af Guld og vejede en Talent; der var en Ædelsten på den, og den blev sat på Davids Hoved. Et vældigt Bytte fra Byen førte han med sig,
30 Then he took the crown of their king from his head; and its weight was a talent of gold, and in it was a precious stone; and it was placed on David’s head. And he brought out the spoil of the city in great amounts.
31 og Indbyggerne slæbte han bort, satte dem til Savene, Jernhakkerne - og Jernøkserne og lod dem trælle ved Teglovnene.
31 He also brought out the people who were in it, and set them under saws, sharp iron instruments, and iron axes, and made them pass through the brickkiln. And thus he did to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
