1 Samuel 10
1 Og Samuel tog en Oliekrukke og øste paa hans Hoved og kyssede ham og sagde: Mon det ikke være saa, at Herren har salvet dig til en Fyrste over hans Arv?
Then Samuel took the vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not that Jehovah has anointed thee to be prince over his inheritance?
2 Naar du gaar fra mig i Dag, da skal du finde to Mænd ved Rakels Grav i Benjamins Landemærke i Zelza; og de skulle sige til dig: De Aseninder ere fundne, som du gik at lede efter, og se, din Fader har ladet Sagen om Aseninderne fare og er bekymret for eder og siger: Hvad skal jeg gøre for min Søn?
When thou are departed from me today, then thou shall find two men by Rachel's sepulcher in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah. And they will say to thee, The donkeys which thou went to seek are found, and, lo, thy father has left off caring for the donkeys, and is anxious for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
3 Og naar du gaar frem derfra og bedre frem og kommer til Thabors Lund, da skulle tre Mænd finde dig der, som gaa op til Gud i Guds Hus: En, som bærer tre Kid, og en, som bærer tre hele Brød, og en, som bærer en Flaske Vin.
Then thou shall go on forward from there, and thou shall come to the oak of Tabor. And there shall meet thee there three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine.
4 Og de skulle hilse dig og give dig to Brød, og du skal annamme dem af deres Haand.
And they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread, which thou shall receive from their hand.
5 Derefter skal du komme til Guds Høj, hvor Filisternes Besætninger ere; og det skal ske, naar du kommer der til Staden, da skal du møde en Hob Profeter, som komme ned fra Højen, og foran dem skal være Salter og Tromme og Pibe og Harpe, og de skulle profetere.
After that thou shall come to the hill of God where is the garrison of the Philistines. And it shall come to pass, when thou have come there to the city, that thou shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp, before them, and they will be prophesying.
6 Og Herrens Aand skal komme heftig over dig, at du skal profetere med dem; og du skal omskiftes til en anden Mand.
And the Spirit of Jehovah will come mightily upon thee, and thou shall prophesy with them, and shall be turned into another man.
7 Og det skal ske, naar disse Tegn indtræffe for dig, saa skal du udføre, hvad du lægger Haand paa; thi Gud er med dig.
And let it be, when these signs have come to thee, that thou do as occasion shall serve thee, for God is with thee.
8 Og du skal gaa ned for mit Ansigt til Gilgal, og se, jeg vil komme ned til dig til at ofre Brændoffer og at slagte Takofre; syv Dage skal du bie, indtil jeg kommer til dig, saa vil jeg lade dig vide, hvad du skal gøre.
And thou shall go down before me to Gilgal. And, behold, I will come down to thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings. Thou shall tarry seven days till I come to thee, and show thee what thou shall do.
9 Og det skete, der han vendte Ryggen for at gaa fra Samuel, da gav Gud ham et helt andet Hjerte; og alle disse Ting indtraf samme Dag.
And it was so, that, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart. And all those signs came to pass that day.
10 Og de kom derhen til Højen, se, da kom en Hob Profeter imod ham, og Guds Aand kom heftig øver ham, og han profeterede midt iblandt dem.
And when they came there to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him. And the Spirit of God came mightily upon him, and he prophesied among them.
11 Og det skete, der alle de, som kendte ham tilforn, saa det, og se, han profeterede med Profeterne, da sagde Folket, hver til sin Næste: Hvad er det, som er Kis' Søn vederfaret? er og Saul iblandt Profeterne?
And it came to pass, when all who knew him formerly saw, that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that has come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
12 Da svarede en Mand derfra og sagde: Hvo er dog deres Fader? Derfor blev det til et Ordsprog: Er og Saul iblandt Profeterne?
And a man from the same place answered and said, And who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
13 Der han havde holdt op med at profetere, da kom han til Højen.
And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
14 Og Sauls Farbroder sagde til ham og til hans Dreng: Hvor gik I hen? Og han sagde: At lede efter Aseninderne, og der vi saa, at de ikke vare nogensteds, kom vi til Samuel.
And Saul's uncle said to him and to his servant, Where did ye go? And he said, To seek the donkeys, and when we saw that they were not found, we came to Samuel.
15 Da sagde Sauls Farbroder: Kære, kundgør mig, hvad sagde Samuel til eder?
And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said to you.
16 Og Saul svarede sin Farbroder: Han gav os til Kende, at Aseninderne vare fundne; men Ordet om Kongedømmet, som Samuel havde sagt, tilkendegav han ham ikke.
And Saul said to his uncle, He told us plainly that the donkeys were found. But concerning the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel spoke, he did not tell him.
17 Og Samuel lod Folket kalde til Hobe til Herren i Mizpa.
And Samuel called the people together to Jehovah to Mizpah.
18 Og han sagde til Israels Børn: Saa sagde Herren Israels Gud: Jeg førte Israel op af Ægypten, og jeg friede eder af Ægypternes Haand og af alle de Rigers Haand, som fortrykte eder.
And he said to the sons of Israel, Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you,
19 Men I have i Dag forkastet eders Gud, ham, som frelste eder af alt eders onde og eders Trængsler, og I sagde til ham: Du skal sætte en Konge over os; og nu stiller eder frem for Herrens Ansigt efter eders Stammer og efter eders Tusinder.
but ye have this day rejected your God who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses, and ye have said to him, No, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before Jehovah by your tribes, and by your thousands.
20 Og Samuel lod alle Israels Stammer komme frem, da blev Benjamins Stamme ramt.
So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
21 Der han lod Benjamins Stamme komme frem efter dens Slægter, da blev Matris Slægt ramt; og Saul, Kis' Søn blev ramt; og de ledte efter ham, men han fandtes ikke.
And he brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families, and the family of the Matrites was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken. But when they sought him, he could not be found.
22 Da adspurgte de Herren ydermere: Kommer der endnu Nogen herhid? Og Herren sagde: Se, han er skjult ved Tøjet.
Therefore they asked of Jehovah further, Is there yet a man to come here? And Jehovah answered, Behold, he has hid himself among the baggage.
23 Da løb de og hentede ham derfra, og han stillede sig midt iblandt Folket; og han var højere end alt Folket fra sin Skulder og derover.
And they ran and fetched him from there. And when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
24 Og Samuel sagde til alt Folket: Ser I den, som Herren har udvalgt? thi ingen er som han iblandt alt Folket. Da raabte alt Folket og sagde: Kongen leve!
And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom Jehovah has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, Live, O king!
25 Og Samuel talede til Folket om Kongedømmets Ret og skrev den i en Bog og lod den blive for Herrens Ansigt; saa lod Samuel alt Folket fare, hver til sit Hus.
Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before Jehovah. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
26 Og Saul gik ogsaa til sit Hus til Gibea; og de af Skaren, hvis Hjerte Gud rørte, gik med ham.
And Saul also went to his house to Gibeah, and mighty men went with him, whose hearts God had touched.
27 Men nogle Belials Børn sagde: Hvad! skal denne frelse os? Og de foragtede ham og bragte ham ikke Skænk; men han var, som han havde været døv.
But certain worthless fellows said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no present. But he held his peace.
