1 Samuel 2
1 Da bad Hanna og sagde: Mit Hjerte har frydet sig i Herren, mit Horn er ophøjet i Herren; min Mund er vidt opladt over mine Fjender, thi jeg har glædet mig i din Frelse.
My heart is established in the Lord, my horn is exalted in my God; my mouth is enlarged over my enemies, I have rejoiced in your salvation.
2 Der er ingen hellig som Herren; thi der er ingen foruden dig og ingen Klippe som vor Gud.
For there is none holy as the Lord, and there is none righteous as our God; there is none holy besides you.
3 Taler ikke saa mange Ord, saa saare høje Ting, lader ikke noget frækt udgaa af eders Mund; thi Herren er Vidskabs Gud, skulde hans Gerninger ikke være rette?
Boast not, and utter not high things; let not high-sounding words come out of your mouth, for the Lord [is] a God of knowledge, and God prepares his own designs.
4 De stærkes Bue er brudt, og de skrøbelige ere omgjordede med Styrke.
The bow of the mighty has waxed feeble, and the weak have girded themselves with strength.
5 De mætte lade sig leje for Brød, de hungrige hungre ej mere; ja, den ufrugtbare føder syv, men hun med de mange Sønner visner hen.
They that were full of bread are brought low; and the hungry have forsaken the land; for the barren has born seven, and she that abounded in children has waxed feeble.
6 Herren er den, som døder og gør levende, som nedfører til Dødsriget og fører op igen. (Sheol h7585)
The Lord kills and makes alive; he brings down to the grave, and brings up. (Sheol h7585)
7 Herren er den, som gør fattig og gør rig, han er den, som nedtrykker, og den, som ophøjer;
The Lord makes poor, and makes rich; he brings low, and lifts up.
8 han oprejser den ringe af Støvet, han ophøjer den fattige af Skarnet, for at sætte dem hos Fyrsterne og lade dem arve Ærens Trone; thi Jordens Grundvold hører Herren til, og han har sat Jorderige derpaa.
He lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises the needy from the dunghill; to seat him with the princes of the people, and causing them to inherit the throne of glory:
9 Han skal bevare sine frommes Fødder, men ugudelige skulle vorde stumme i Mørket; thi en Mand bliver ikke vældig ved sin Kraft.
granting his petition to him that prays; and he blesses the years of the righteous, for by strength can’t man prevail.
10 De, som trætte med Herren, skulle forskrækkes, han skal lade tordne i Himmelen over dem; Herren skal dømme Jorderiges Ender, og han skal give sin Konge Styrke og ophøje sin salvedes Horn.
The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
11 Derefter gik Elkana til Rama, til sit Hus; men Drengen tjente Herren for Præsten Elis Ansigt.
and departed to Armathaim: and the child ministered in the presence of the Lord before Heli the priest.
12 Og Elis Sønner vare Belials Sønner; de kendte ikke Herren.
And the sons of Heli the priest [were] evil sons, not knowing the Lord.
13 Thi det var Præsternes Vis med Folket: Naar nogen Mand ofrede et Offer, da kom Præstens Dreng, naar Kødet kogte, og havde en Madkrog med tre Grene i sin Haand.
And the priest's claim from every one of the people that sacrificed [was this: ] the servant of the priest came when the flesh was in seething, and a flesh-hook of three teeth [was] in his hand.
14 Og han stak i Kedlen eller i Gryden eller i Panden eller i Potten; alt hvad Madkrogen drog op, det tog Præsten dermed; saaledes gjorde de mod al Israel, som kom derhen til Silo.
And he struck it into the great caldron, or into the brazen vessel, or into the pot, and whatever came up with the flesh-hook, the priest took for himself: so they did to all Israel that came to sacrifice to the Lord in Selom.
15 Ogsaa førend de gjorde Røgoffer af Fedtet, da kom Præstens Dreng og sagde til den Mand, som ofrede: Giv mig Kød til at stege til Præsten; thi han vil ikke tage kogt Kød af dig, men raat.
And before the fat was burnt for a sweet savor, the servant of the priest would come, and say to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest, and I will by no means take of you sodden flesh out of the caldron.
16 Naar Manden sagde til ham: Man skal gøre Røgoffer af Fedtet i Dag; tag dig siden, saaledes som dit Hjerte begærer; da sagde han til ham: Nu skal du dog give det, og hvis ikke, vil jeg tage det med Magt.
And [if] the man that sacrificed said, First let the fat be burned, as it is fit, and take for yourself of all things which your soul desires: then he would say, Nay, for you shall give it me now; and if not I will take it by force.
17 Og de unge Mænds Synd var saare stor for Herrens Ansigt; thi Mændene foragtede Herrens Madoffer.
So the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord, for they set at nothing the offering of the Lord.
18 Og Samuel tjente for Herrens Ansigt og var en Dreng, iført en linnet Livkjortel.
And Samuel ministered before the Lord, a child girded with a linen ephod.
19 Og hans Moder gjorde ham en liden Overkjortel og bragte ham den op fra Aar til Aar, naar hun gik op med sin Mand til at ofre det aarlige Offer.
And his mother made him a little doublet, and brought it to him from year to year, in her going up in company with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
20 Og Eli velsignede Elkana og hans Hustru og sagde: Herren give dig Sæd af denne Kvinde, i Stedet for ham, som begæredes for Herren, og de gik til deres Sted.
And Heli blessed Helcana and his wife, saying The Lord recompense to you seed of this woman, in return for the loan which you have lent to the Lord: and the man returned to his place.
21 Men Herren besøgte Hanna, at hun undfangede og fødte tre Sønner og to Døtre; og Drengen Samuel blev stor hos Herren.
And the Lord visited Anna, and she bore yet three sons, and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the Lord.
22 Og Eli var saare gammel, og han hørte alt det, hans Sønner gjorde mod al Israel, og at de laa hos de Kvinder, som kom i Hobetal for Forsamlingens Pauluns Dør.
And Heli [was] very old, and he heard what his sons did to the children of Israel.
23 Og han sagde til dem: Hvorfor gøre I disse Ting? thi jeg hører disse eders onde Handeler af alt dette Folk.
And he said to them, Why do you according to this thing, which I hear from the mouth of all the people of the Lord?
24 Ikke saa, mine Sønner; thi det er ikke et godt Rygte, som jeg hører; I komme Herrens Folk til at begaa Overtrædelse.
Nay [my] sons, for the report which I hear [is] not good; do not so, for the reports which I hear [are] not good, so that the people do not serve God.
25 Dersom en Mand synder mod en Mand, da skal Gud dømme ham; men dersom nogen synder mod Herren, hvo skal da bede for ham? Men de hørte ikke deres Faders Røst; thi Herren havde Villie til at slaa dem ihjel.
If a man should at all sin against another, then shall they pray for him to the Lord; but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall entreat for him? But they listened not to the voice of their father, because the Lord would by all means destroy them.
26 Men Drengen Samuel tiltog i Alder og i Velbehagelighed, baade for Herren saa og for Menneskene.
And the child Samuel advanced, and was in favor with God and with men.
27 Og en Guds Mand kom til Eli, og han sagde til ham: Saaledes siger Herren: Har jeg ikke aabenbaret mig for din Faders Hus, der de vare i Ægypten i Faraos Hus?
And a man of God came to Heli, and said, Thus says the Lord, I plainly revealed myself to the house of your father, when they were servants in Egypt to the house of Pharao.
28 Og jeg har udvalgt ham af alle Israels Stammer mig til en Præst, til at ofre paa mit Alter, til at røge med Røgelse, til at bære Livkjortlen for mit Ansigt, og jeg har givet din Faders Hus alle Israels Børns Ildofre.
And I chose the house of your father out of all the tribes of Israel to minister to me in the priest's office, to go up to my altar, and to burn incense, and to wear an ephod. And I gave to the house of your father all the offerings by fire of the children of Israel for food.
29 Hvorfor vanære I mit Slagtoffer og mit Madoner, som jeg bød at ofre i Boligen? og du ærer dine Sønner mere end mig, idet I fede eder med det bedste af alt mit Folks Israels Madofre!
And therefore have you looked upon my incense-offering and my meat-offering with a shameless eye, and have honored your sons above me, so that they should bless themselves with the first fruits of every sacrifice of Israel before me?
30 Derfor siger Herren, Israels Gud: Vistnok har jeg sagt: Dit Hus og din Faders Hus skulle vandre for mit Ansigt til evig Tid; men nu siger Herren: Det være langt fra mig; thi dem, som ære mig, vil jeg ære, og de, som foragte mig, skulle ringeagtes.
Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel, I said, Your house and the house of your father shall pass before me for ever: but now the Lord says, That be far from me; for I will only honor them that honor me, and he that sets me at nothing shall be despised.
31 Se, de Dage komme, at jeg vil afhugge din Arm og din Faders Huses Arm, at der ikke skal være en gammel i dit Hus.
Behold, the days come when I will destroy your seed and the seed of your father's house.
32 Og du skal se Trængsel for Boligen i alt, hvori det skulde gaaet Israel vel; og der skal ingen gammel være i dit Hus nogen Sinde.
And you shall not have an old man in my house for ever.
33 Og jeg vil ikke udrydde hver Mand af dig fra mit Alter til at fortære dine Øjne og at bedrøve din Sjæl; dog skal hele dit Huses Mangfoldighed dø som Mænd.
And [if] I do not destroy a man of your from my altar, [it shall be] that his eyes may fail and his soul may perish; and every one that remains in your house shall fall by the sword of men.
34 Og dette skal være dig et Tegn, som skal komme over dine to Sønner, over Hofni og Pinehas: Paa een Dag skulle de begge dø.
And this which shall come upon your two sons Ophni and Phinees shall be a sign to you; in one day they shall both die.
35 Og jeg vil oprejse mig en trofast Præst, han skal gøre, ligesom det er i mit Hjerte og i min Sjæl; og jeg vil bygge ham et bestandigt Hus, og han skal vandre for min salvedes Ansigt alle Dage.
And I will raise up to myself a faithful priest, who shall do all that is in my heart and in my soul; and I will build him a sure house, and he shall walk before my Christ for ever.
36 Og det skal ske, hver den, som bliver tilovers i dit Hus, skal komme at nedbøje sig for ham for en Sølvpenning og for et Stykke Brød; og han skal sige: Kære, lad mig komme til een af Præstetjenesterne at æde en Mundfuld Brød.
And it shall come to pass that he that survives in your house, shall come to do obeisance before him for a little piece of silver, saying, Put me into one of your priest's offices to eat bread.
