1 Samuel 16

1 og HERREN sagde til Samuel: "Hvor længe vil du gå og sørge over Saul? Jeg har jo dog forkastet ham, så han ikke mere skal være Konge over Israel. Fyld dit Horn med Olie og drag af Sted! Jeg sender dig til Betlehemiten Isaj, thi jeg har udset mig en Konge blandt hans Sønner."

And he said Yahweh to Samuel until when? [are] you mourning to Saul and I I have rejected him from reigning over Israel fill horn your oil and go I will send you to Jesse [the] Beth-lehemite for I have seen among sons his for myself a king.

2 Samuel svarede: "Hvorledes kan jeg det? Får Saul det at høre, dræber han mig!" Men HERREN sagde: "Tag en Kvie med og sig: Jeg kommer for at ofre HERREN et Offer!

And he said Samuel how? will I go and he will hear Saul and he will kill me. And he said Yahweh a heifer of cattle you will take in hand your and you will say to sacrifice to Yahweh I have come.

3 Og indbyd Isaj til Ofringen; så vil jeg lade dig vide, hvad du skal gøre; du skal salve mig den, jeg siger dig!"

And you will invite Jesse at the sacrifice and I I will make known to you [that] which you will do and you will anoint for me [the one] whom I will say to you.

4 Samuel gjorde da, som HERREN sagde. Da han kom til Betlehem, gik Byens Ældste ham forfærdede i Møde og sagde: "Kommer du for det gode?"

And he did Samuel [that] which he said Yahweh and he came Beth-lehem and they trembled [the] elders of the city to meet him and someone said [in] peace [are] coming? you.

5 Han svarede: "Ja! Jeg kommer for at ofre til HERREN. Helliger eder og kom med til Ofringen!" Og han lod Isaj og hans Sønner hellige sig og indbød dem til Ofringen:

And he said - peace to sacrifice to Yahweh I have come consecrate yourselves and you will come with me at the sacrifice and he consecrated Jesse and sons his and he invited them to the sacrifice.

6 Da de kom, og han så Eliab, tænkte han: "Visselig står nu HERRENs Salvede for ham!"

And it was when came they and he saw Eliab and he said surely [is] before Yahweh anointed his.

7 Men HERREN sagde til Samuel: "Se ikke på hans Ydre eller høje Vækst; thi jeg har vraget ham; Gud ser jo ikke, som Mennesker ser, thi Mennesker ser på det, som er for Øjnene, men HERREN ser på Hjertet."

And he said Yahweh to Samuel may not you look to appearance his and to [the] height of stature his for I have rejected him for - not [that] which he sees man for man he sees to the eyes and Yahweh he sees to the heart.

8 Da kaldte Isaj på Abinadab og førte ham hen for Samuel; men han sagde: "Heller ikke ham har HERREN udvalgt!"

And he called Jesse to Abinadab and he made pass by him before Samuel and he said also this one not he has chosen Yahweh.

9 Isaj førte da Sjamma frem; men han sagde: "Heller ikke ham har HERREN udvalgt!"

And he made pass by Jesse Shammah and he said also this one not he has chosen Yahweh.

10 Så førte Isaj de andre af sine syv Sønner frem for Samuel; men Samuel sagde til Isaj: "HERREN har ikke udvalgt nogen af dem!"

And he made pass by Jesse seven of sons his before Samuel and he said Samuel to Jesse not he has chosen Yahweh these.

11 Samuel spurgte da Isaj: "Er det alle de unge Mænd?" Han svarede: "Endnu er den yngste tilbage; men han vogter Småkvæget!" Da sagde Samuel til Isaj: "Send Bud efter ham! thi vi sætter os ikke til Bords, før han kommer!"

And he said Samuel to Jesse ¿ are they finished the young men and he said still he remains the young [one] and there! [he is] shepherding the flock and he said Samuel to Jesse send! and bring him for not we will turn round until comes he here.

12 Så sendte han Bud efter ham. Han var rødmosset, en Yngling med smukke Øjne og skøn at se til. Da sagde HERREN: "Stå op, salv ham, thi ham er det!"

And he sent and he brought him and he [was] red with beautiful of eyes and good of appearance. And he said Yahweh arise anoint him for this [is] he.

13 Samuel tog da Oliehornet og salvede ham, medens hans Brødre stod rundt om: Og HERRENs Ånd kom over David fra den Dag af. Derefter brød Samuel op og gik til Rama.

And he took Samuel [the] horn of oil and he anointed him in [the] midst of brothers his and it rushed [the] spirit of Yahweh to David from the day that and on-wards and he arose Samuel and he went Ramah towards.

14 Efter at HERRENs Ånd var veget fra Saul, plagedes han af en ond Ånd fra HERREN.

And [the] spirit of Yahweh it departed from with Saul and it terrified him a spirit evil from with Yahweh.

15 Sauls Folk sagde da til ham: "Se, en ond Ånd fra Gud plager dig;

And they said [the] servants of Saul to him here! please a spirit of God evil [is] terrifying you.

16 sig kun et Ord, Herre, dine Trælle står rede til at søge efter en Mand, der kan lege på Strenge; når en ond Ånd fra Gud kommer over dig, skal han røre Strengene; så får du det godt!"

Let him say please lord our servants your before you let them seek a person [who] knows playing on the harp and it will be when is on you a spirit of God evil and he will play with hand his and good [will belong] to you.

17 Da sagde Saul til sine Folk: "Find mig en Mand, der er dygtig til Strengeleg, og bring ham til mig!"

And he said Saul to servants his see please for me a person [who] does well to play and you will bring [him] to me.

18 En af Tjenerne tog til Orde og sagde: "Jeg har set en Søn af Betlehemiten Isaj, han kan lege på Strenge og er en dygtig Kriger, en øvet Krigsmand; han ved at føje sine Ord og er en smuk Mand, og HERREN er med ham!"

And he answered one from the young men and he said here! I have seen a son of Jesse [the] Beth-lehemite [who] knows to play and a mighty [man] of strength and a man of war and [one] discerning of word and a man of form and Yahweh [is] with him.

19 Saul sendte da Bud til Isaj og lod sige: "Send mig din Søn David, som er ved Fårene!"

And he sent Saul messengers to Jesse and he said send! to me David son your who [is] with the flock.

20 Da tog Isaj ti Brød, en Lædersæk Vin og et Gedekid og sendte sin Søn David til Saul dermed.

And he took Jesse a donkey bread and a skin-bottle of wine and a kid of goats one and he sent [them] by [the] hand of David son his to Saul.

21 Således kom David til Saul og trådte i hans Tjeneste; Saul fik ham såre kær, og han blev hans Våbendrager.

And he came David to Saul and he stood before him and he loved him exceedingly and he was of him bearer of armor.

22 Og Saul sendte Bud til Isaj og lod sige: "Lad David blive i min Tjeneste, thi jeg har fattet Godhed for ham!"

And he sent Saul to Jesse saying let him stand please David before me for he has found favor in view my.

23 Når nu Ånden fra Gud kom over Saul, tog David sin Citer og rørte Strengene; så følte Saul Lindring og fik det godt, og den onde Ånd veg fra ham.

And it was when was a spirit of God to Saul and he took David the harp and he played with hand his and it was relief to Saul and good [belonged] to him and it departed from on him [the] spirit of evil.
