1 Samuel 28
1 Og det skete i de samme Dage, at Filisterne samlede deres Hære til Striden for at føre Krig imod Israel; og Akis sagde til David: Du skal vide, at du skal drage ud med mig i Lejren, du og dine Mænd.
And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David, Know you assuredly, that you shall go out with me to battle, you and your men.
2 Da sagde David til Akis: Derfor skal du og fornemme, hvad din Tjener vil gøre; og Akis sagde til David: Derfor vil jeg sætte dig til Vogter over mit Hoved alle Dage.
And David said to Achish, Surely you shall know what your servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make you keeper of mine head for ever.
3 Men Samuel var død, og al Israel havde sørget over ham og begravet ham i Rama, og det ved hans Stad; og Saul havde bortskaffet Spaakvinder og Tegnsudlæggere af Landet.
Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.
4 Og der Filisterne samledes og kom og lejrede sig i Sunem, da samlede Saul al Israel, og de lejrede sig i Gilboa.
And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa.
5 Der Saul saa Filisternes Lejr, da frygtede han, og hans Hjerte var saare forfærdet.
And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.
6 Og Saul adspurgte Herren, men Herren svarede ham intet, hverken ved Drømme eller ved Urim eller ved Profeterne.
And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
7 Da sagde Saul til sine Tjenere: Opleder mig en Kvinde, som har en Spaadoms Aand, at jeg kan gaa til hende og adspørge hende; og hans Tjenere sagde til ham: Se, der er en Kvinde, som har Spaadoms Aand, i Endor.
Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that has a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that has a familiar spirit at Endor.
8 Og Saul gjorde sig ukendelig og førte sig i andre Klæder, og han gik hen og to Mænd med ham, og de kom til Kvinden om Natten, og han sagde: Kære, spaa mig ved en Spaadoms Aand, og man mig den frem, som jeg siger dig.
And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray you, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto you.
9 Og Kvinden sagde til ham: Se, du ved, hvad Saul har gjort, hvorledes han har ladet udrydde Spaakvinder og Tegnsudlæggere af Landet, og hvorfor vil du sætte en Snare for min Sjæl til at lade mig slaa ihjel?
And the woman said unto him, Behold, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then lay you a snare for my life, to cause me to die?
10 Da tilsvor Saul hende ved Herren og sagde: Saa vist som Herren lever, skal denne Gerning ikke regnes dig til Misgerning.
And Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, As the LORD lives, there shall no punishment happen to you for this thing.
11 Da sagde Kvinden: Hvem skal jeg da mane dig frem? og han sagde: Lad mig Samuel komme op.
Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto you? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
12 Der Kvinden saa Samuel, da raabte hun med stærk Røst; og Kvinden sagde til Saul: Hvi har du bedraget mig? du er jo Saul.
And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, Why have you deceived me? for you are Saul.
13 Da sagde Kongen til hende: Frygt ikke! men hvad har du set? og Kvinden sagde til Saul: Jeg har set Guder stige op af Jorden.
And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what saw you? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
14 Og han sagde til hende: Hvordan er hans Skikkelse? og hun sagde: Der kommer en gammel Mand op, og han er klædt i en Kappe; da fornam Saul, at det var Samuel, og han bøjede sit Ansigt til Jorden og kastede sig ned.
And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man comes up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.
15 Og Samuel sagde til Saul: Hvorfor gjorde du mig Uro og lod mig hente op? Da sagde Saul: Jeg er saare angst, thi Filisterne stride imod mig, og Gud er vegen fra mig og svarer mig ikke ydermere, hverken ved Profeter eller ved Drømme, derfor lod jeg dig kalde, at du skulde lade mig vide, hvad jeg skal gøre.
And Samuel said to Saul, Why have you disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answers me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called you, that you may make known unto me what I shall do.
16 Da sagde Samuel: Men hvorfor vil du spørge mig, efterdi Herren er vegen fra dig og er bleven din Fjende?
Then said Samuel, Wherefore then do you ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from you, and is become your enemy?
17 Thi Herren har nu gjort saaledes, som han sagde ved mig, og Herren har revet Riget af din Haand og givet David din Næste det,
And the LORD has done to him, as he spoke by me: for the LORD has rent the kingdom out of your hand, and given it to your neighbour, even to David:
18 fordi du ikke adlød Herrens Røst og ikke fuldbyrdede hans strenge Vrede imod Amalek; derfor har Herren gjort denne Gerning imod dig paa denne Dag.
Because you obeyed not the voice of the LORD, nor executed his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore has the LORD done this thing unto you this day.
19 Og Herren skal endog give Israel tillige med dig i Filisternes Haand, og du og dine Sønner skulle være hos mig i Morgen; Herren skal endog give Israels Lejre i Filisternes Haand.
Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with you into the hand of the Philistines: and tomorrow shall you and your sons be with me: the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.
20 Da faldt Saul hasteligen til Jorden, saa lang som han var, og frygtede saare for Samuels Ord; der var heller ingen Kraft i ham, thi han havde ikke smagt Brød den ganske Dag og den ganske Nat.
Then Saul fell immediately all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.
21 Og Kvinden kom hen til Saul og saa, at han var saare forfærdet; og hun sagde til ham: Se, din Tjenerinde adlød din Røst, og jeg satte mit Liv i min Haand og adlød dine Ord, som du talede til mig.
And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold, your handmaid has obeyed your voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto your words which you spoke unto me.
22 Saa adlyd nu ogsaa, kære, din Tjenerindes Røst, saa vil jeg sætte en Mundfuld Brød for dig, og æd, at der kan være Kraft i dig, naar du gaar paa Vejen.
Now therefore, I pray you, hearken you also unto the voice of your handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before you; and eat, that you may have strength, when you go on your way.
23 Men han vægrede sig og sagde: Jeg vil ikke æde; da nødte baade hans Tjenere og Kvinden ham, og han adlød deres Røst, og han stod op fra Jorden og satte sig paa Sengen.
But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, compelled him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.
24 Og Kvinden havde en Fedekalv i Huset, og hun skyndte sig og slagtede den, og hun tog Mel og æltede og bagede deraf usyrede Kager.
And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof:
25 Og hun bar det frem for Saul og for hans Tjenere, og de aade, og de stode op og gik bort den samme Nat.
And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night.
