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 camps together for warfare, to fight with Israel; and Achish said unto David, Thou must know that thou shalt go out with me into the camp, thou and thy 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, By reason of this wilt thou thyself ascertain what thy servant will do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee the guard of my head for all times.
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 removed 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 assembled themselves together, and came and encamped at Shunem: and Saul assembled together all Israel, and they encamped at Gilboa'.
5 Der Saul saa Filisternes Lejr, da frygtede han, og hans Hjerte var saare forfærdet.
And when Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.
6 Og Saul adspurgte Herren, men Herren svarede ham intet, hverken ved Drømme eller ved Urim eller ved Profeterne.
And Saul asked counsel of the Lord; but the Lord answered him not, either by means of dreams, or by means of the Urim, or by means of the 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 out for me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at 'En-dor.
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 garments, and he went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, Divine, I pray thee, unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring up for me the one whom I shall say unto thee.
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, thou well knowest that which Saul hath done, that he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land; wherefore then layest thou 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 liveth, there shall no guilt attach to thee 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 for thee? And he said, Samuel thou must bring up for me.
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 said to Saul thus, Why hast thou deceived me? since thou art 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; however, what hast thou seen? And the woman said unto Saul, A divine being have I seen 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 is his form? And she said, An old man is coming up; and he is wrapt in a mantle. And so Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and prostrated 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 hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am greatly distressed, and the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and hath not answered me any more, either by the agency of the prophets, or by means of dreams; wherefore I have called thee, to 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, And why wilt thou ask me, seeing the Lord is departed from thee, and is become thy 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 hath done for himself as he hath spoken through my agency; and the Lord hath rent the government out of thy hand, and hath given it to thy associate, 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.
As thou didst not obey the voice of the Lord, and didst not execute his fierce wrath upon 'Amalek; therefore hath the Lord done this thing unto thee 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.
And the Lord will deliver also Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines; and tomorrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: also the camp of Israel will the Lord deliver 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 fell Saul hastily with his full length to the earth, and was greatly afraid, because of the words of Samuel: there was also no strength in him; for he had not eaten any food all that day, and all that 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 greatly terrified; and she said unto him, Behold, thy hand-maid hath obeyed thy voice; and I put my life in my hand, and hearkened unto thy words which thou spokest 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.
And now, hearken thou also, I pray thee, unto the voice of thy hand-maid, and let me set before thee a morsel of bread, and eat; that thou mayest have strength when thou goest on the 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 urged him much, as also the woman; 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 fatted calf in the house; and she hastened, and slaughtered it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and baked 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 near before Saul, and before his servants; and they ate. Then they rose up, and went away that night.
