1 Samuel 12

1 Da sagde Samuel til al Israel: Se jeg hørte eders Røst i alt det, I sagde til mig, og jeg har sat en Konge til at regere over eder.

And he said Samuel to all Israel here! I have listened to voice your to all that you have said to me and I have made king over you a king.

2 Og nu se, der vandrer Kongen for eders Ansigt, og jeg er vorden gammel og graahærdet, og se, mine Sønner ere hos eder; og jeg har vandret for eders Ansigt fra min Ungdom indtil denne Dag.

And now here! the king - [is] walking about before you and I I am old and I am gray haired and sons my here they [are] with you and I I have walked about before you since youth my until the day this.

3 Se, her er jeg, vidner imod mig for Herren og for hans salvede: Hvis Okse har jeg taget, og hvis Asen har jeg taget, og hvem har jeg gjort Vold, hvem har jeg fortrykt, og af hvis Haand har jeg taget Bestikkelse, saa jeg derved lukkede mine Øjne? Og jeg vil give eder det igen.

Here [am] I testify against me before Yahweh and before anointed his [the] ox of - whom? have I taken and [the] donkey of whom? have I taken and whom? have I oppressed whom? have I crushed and from [the] hand of whom? have I taken a ransom so I may hide eyes my by it so I may restore [it] to you.

4 Da sagde de: Du har hverken gjort os Vold, ej heller fortrykt os, og ej taget noget af nogens Haand.

And they said not you have oppressed us and not you have crushed us and not you have taken from [the] hand of anyone anything.

5 Da sagde han til dem: Herren er Vidne mod eder, og hans salvede er Vidne paa denne Dag, at I ikke have fundet noget i min Haand; og Folket sagde: Han skal være Vidne.

And he said to them [is] a witness Yahweh on you and [is] a witness anointed his the day this that not you have found in hand my anything and someone said [he is] a witness.

6 Fremdeles sagde Samuel til Folket: Det er Herren, som beskikkede Mose og Aron, og som førte eders Fædre op af Ægyptens Land.

And he said Samuel to the people Yahweh who he appointed Moses and Aaron and who he brought up ancestors your from [the] land of Egypt.

7 Og nu stiller eder frem, og jeg vil gaa i Rette med eder for Herrens Ansigt om alle Herrens retfærdige Gerninger, som han har gjort imod eder og imod eders Fædre.

And therefore present yourselves so let me enter into judgment with you before Yahweh all [the] righteousness of Yahweh which he did with you and with ancestors your.

8 Der Jakob var kommen til Ægypten, da raabte eders Fædre til Herren, og Herren sendte Mose og Aron, og de udførte eders Fædre af Ægypten og lode dem bo paa dette Sted.

Just when he went Jacob Egypt and they cried out ancestors your to Yahweh and he sent Yahweh Moses and Aaron and they brought out ancestors your from Egypt and they caused to dwell them in the place this.

9 Men de forglemte Herren deres Gud; og han solgte dem i Siseras Haand, Krigshøvedsmandens i Hazor, og i Filisternes Haand og i Moabiternes Konges Haand, og disse strede imod dem.

And they forgot Yahweh God their and he sold them in [the] hand of Sisera [the] commander of [the] army of Hazor and in [the] hand of [the] Philistines and in [the] hand of [the] king of Moab and they fought against them.

10 Da raabte de til Herren og sagde: Vi have syndet, fordi vi forlode Herren og tjente Baal- og Astartebillederne; men fri os nu fra vore Fjenders Haand, saa ville vi tjene dig.

And they cried out to Yahweh (and they said *Q(K)*) we have sinned for we have forsaken Yahweh and we have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth and now deliver us from [the] hand of enemies our so we may serve you.

11 Da sendte Herren Jerub-Baal og Bedan og Jeftha og Samuel; og han friede eder af eders Fjenders Haand trindt omkring, at I boede tryggeligen.

And he sent Yahweh Jerub-Baal and Bedan and Jephthah and Samuel and he delivered you from [the] hand of enemies your from round about and you dwelt security.

12 Og der I saa, at Nahas, Ammons Børns Konge, kom imod eder, da sagde I til mig: Ikke saa, men en Konge skal regere over os, skønt Herren eders Gud var eders Konge.

And you saw that Nahash [the] king of [the] people of Ammon [was] coming on you and you said to me In-deed a king he will reign over us and Yahweh God your [was] king your.

13 Og nu, se, der er Kongen, som I have udvalgt, som I have begæret; og se, Herren har sat en Konge over eder.

And now here! the king whom you have chosen whom you asked for and here! he has set Yahweh over you a king.

14 Dersom I frygte Herren og tjene ham og høre hans Røst og ikke ere genstridige mod Herrens Mund: Da skulle baade I og Kongen, som regerer over eder, være Herren eders Gud til Behag.

If you will fear Yahweh and you will serve him and you will listen to voice his and not you will rebel against [the] mouth of Yahweh and you will be both you as well as the king who he has become king over you after Yahweh God your.

15 Men dersom I ikke høre Herrens Røst, men ere genstridige mod Herrens Mund, da skal Herrens Haand være imod eder, som imod eders Fædre.

And if not you will listen to [the] voice of Yahweh and you will rebel against [the] mouth of Yahweh and it will be [the] hand of Yahweh on you and on ancestors your.

16 Stiller eder nu ogsaa frem og ser denne store Ting, som Herren skal gøre for eders Øjne.

Also now stand and see the thing great this which Yahweh [is] about to do to eyes your.

17 Er det ikke Hvedehøst i Dag? Jeg vil kalde paa Herren, saa skal han give Torden og Regn: Saa vider og ser, at det onde, som I have gjort for Herrens Øjne, er stort, idet at I have begæret eder en Konge.

¿ Not [is] [the] harvest of wheat this day I will call out to Yahweh so he may give thunder claps and rain and know and see that evil your [is] great which you have done in [the] eyes of Yahweh by asking for yourselves a king.

18 Da raabte Samuel til Herren, og Herren gav Torden og Regn paa den samme Dag; derfor frygtede alt Folket saare for Herren og Samuel.

And he called out Samuel to Yahweh and he gave Yahweh thunder claps and rain on the day that and it feared all the people exceedingly Yahweh and Samuel.

19 Og alt Folket sagde til Samuel: Bed ydmygeligen for dine Tjenere til Herren din Gud, at vi ikke skulle dø; thi vi lagde det onde til alle vore Synder, at vi begærede os en Konge.

And they said all the people to Samuel pray for servants your to Yahweh God your and may not we die for we have added to all sins our an evil thing by asking for ourselves a king.

20 Da sagde Samuel til Folket: Frygter ikke! I have vel gjort alt dette onde; viger dog ikke fra Herren, men tjener Herren i eders ganske Hjerte!

And he said Samuel to the people may not you be afraid you you have done all the evil this nevertheless may not you turn aside from after Yahweh and you will serve Yahweh with all heart your.

21 Og viger ikke af; thi saa følge I forfængelige Ting, som ej gavne eller hjælpe, thi de ere Forfængelighed.

And not you must turn aside for - after emptiness which not they will benefit and not they will rescue for [are] emptiness they.

22 Thi Herren skal ikke forlade sit Folk for sit store Navns Skyld, efterdi Herren har haft Villie til at gøre eder til sit Folk.

For not he will abandon Yahweh people his for sake of name his great for he was determined Yahweh to make you for himself into a people.

23 Ogsaa jeg — det være langt fra mig at synde imod Herren, at jeg skulde lade af at bede ydmygeligen for eder; men jeg vil lære eder den gode og den rette Vej.

Also I far be it to me from sinning to Yahweh from ceasing to pray for you and I will teach you [the] way of the good and the upright.

24 Frygter ikkun Herren og tjener ham i Sandhed af eders ganske Hjerte; thi ser, hvor store Ting han gør imod eder.

Only - fear Yahweh and you will serve him in faithfulness with all heart your for consider this: he has done great things with you.

25 Men gøre I alligevel ilde, da skulle baade I og eders Konge omkomme.

And if still you will do evil both you as well as king your you will be swept away.
