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 took Samuel a flask of oil, and poured out upon his head, and kissed him, —and said—Is it not, that Yahweh hath anointed thee over his inheritance, as leader?
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 departest, to-day, from me, then shalt thou find two men by the grave of Rachel, within the boundary of Benjamin, in Zelzah, —and they will say unto thee, The asses are found, which thou wentest to seek, and lo! thy father hath abandoned caring for the asses, and is concerned 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 shalt thou pass on quickly from thence onwards, and come as far as the oak of Tabor, and there shall find thee there, three men going up unto God, at Bethel, —one, carrying three kids, and, another, carrying three cakes of bread, and, another, carrying a skin of wine;
4 Og de skulle hilse dig og give dig to Brød, og du skal annamme dem af deres Haand.
then will they ask thee, of thy welfare, —and give thee two cakes of bread, which thou shalt receive at 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, shalt thou come unto the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines, —and it shall be, as thou comest in thither into the city, thou shalt light upon a band of prophets, coming down from the high place, and, before them, a harp, and a timbrel, and a flute, and a lyre, they having been moved to prophesy.
6 Og Herrens Aand skal komme heftig over dig, at du skal profetere med dem; og du skal omskiftes til en anden Mand.
Then will come suddenly upon thee, the Spirit of Yahweh, and thou shalt be moved to prophesy with them, —and shalt be changed 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 it shall be, when these signs shall come unto thee, then act thou for thyself, as thou shalt find occasion, 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 shalt go down before me to Gilgal, for lo! I am coming down unto thee, to offer up ascending-offerings, to sacrifice peace-offerings, —seven days, shalt thou tarry, until I come unto thee, then will I let thee know what thou shalt 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 so it was, that, when he turned away to depart from Samuel, God gave him another heart, —and all these 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 thither to the hill, lo! a band of prophets coming to meet him, —then came suddenly upon him, the Spirit of God, and he was moved to prophesy in their midst.
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, that, all who knew him aforetime, looked, and lo! with the prophets, he did prophesy. So the people said, one to another—What, now, hath befallen the son of Kish? Is, even Saul, 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?
Then responded one of that place, and said, But who is, their father? For this cause, it became a proverb, Is, even Saul, 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.
Then said Saul’s uncle unto him, and unto his young man—Whither have ye been? And he said, To seek the asses, and, when they were nowhere, to be seen, we came unto Samuel.
15 Da sagde Sauls Farbroder: Kære, kundgør mig, hvad sagde Samuel til eder?
And Saul’s uncle said, —Do 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 unto his uncle, He, told, us that the asses were found, —but, as to the matter of the kingdom, he told him not what Samuel had said.
17 Og Samuel lod Folket kalde til Hobe til Herren i Mizpa.
Then Samuel called out the people, unto Yahweh, at 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 said unto the sons of Israel—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel: I myself, brought up Israel, out of Egypt, —and rescued you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that distressed 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.
Yet, ye, to-day, have rejected your God, who, himself, hath been giving you salvation from all your calamities and your distresses, and ye have said to him: A king, shalt thou set over us, —Now, therefore, present yourselves before Yahweh, by your tribes, and by your thousands.
20 Og Samuel lod alle Israels Stammer komme frem, da blev Benjamins Stamme ramt.
And, when Samuel had brought near all the tribes of Israel, then was taken the tribe of Benjamin.
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, when he had brought near the tribe of Benjamin, by their families, then was taken the family of Matri, —and, when he had brought near the family of Matri, man by man, then was taken Saul the son of Kish; so they sought him, but he was not to be found.
22 Da adspurgte de Herren ydermere: Kommer der endnu Nogen herhid? Og Herren sagde: Se, han er skjult ved Tøjet.
Then asked they again of Yahweh, Hath there yet to come in hither a man? And Yahweh said, Lo! he, hath hid himself among the stores.
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.
So they ran, and fetched him thence, and, when he presented himself in the midst of the people, then was he [seen to be] taller than any of the people, from his shoulders and upwards.
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 unto all the people—Have ye seen him whom Yahweh hath chosen, that there is none like him, among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said—Let the king live!
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 declared unto the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a scroll, and laid it up before Yahweh. And Samuel sent away all the people, every man to his own house.
26 Og Saul gik ogsaa til sit Hus til Gibea; og de af Skaren, hvis Hjerte Gud rørte, gik med ham.
Yea, even Saul, went to his own house, at Gibeah, —and the valiant men whose heart God had moved went with him.
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, abandoned men, said—How can this one save us? So they treated him with contempt, and brought him no present, —but he was as one that was deaf.
