1 Samuel 10
1 Then Samuel took the vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not that Jehovah has anointed thee to be prince over his inheritance?
Da tog Samuel Olieflasken og udgød Olien over hans Hoved, kyssede ham og sagde: »Har HERREN ikke salvet dig til Fyrste over sit Folk Israel? Du skal herske over HERRENS Folk og frelse det fra dets Fjender. Og dette skal være dig Tegnet paa, at HERREN har salvet dig til Fyrste over sin Arv:
2 When thou are departed from me today, then thou shall find two men by Rachel's sepulcher in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah. And they will say to thee, The donkeys which thou went to seek are found, and, lo, thy father has left off caring for the donkeys, and is anxious for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
Naar du i Dag gaar fra mig, skal du træffe to Mænd ved Rakels Grav ved Benjamins Grænse i Zelza, og de skal sige til dig: Æslerne, du gik ud at lede efter, er fundet; dem har din Fader slaaet af Tanke, men nu er han urolig for eder og siger: Hvad skal jeg gøre for min Søn?
3 Then thou shall go on forward from there, and thou shall come to the oak of Tabor. And there shall meet thee there three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine.
Og naar du er gaaet et Stykke længere frem og kommer til Taboregen, skal du træffe tre Mænd, som er paa Vej op til Gud i Betel; den ene bærer tre Kid, den anden tre Brødkager og den tredje en Dunk Vin;
4 And they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread, which thou shall receive from their hand.
de skal hilse paa dig og give dig to Brødkager, som du skal tage imod.
5 After that thou shall come to the hill of God where is the garrison of the Philistines. And it shall come to pass, when thou have come there to the city, that thou shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp, before them, and they will be prophesying.
Derefter kommer du til Guds Gibea, hvor Filisternes Foged bor; og naar du kommer hen til Byen, vil du støde paa en Flok Profeter, som kommer ned fra Offerhøjen i profetisk Henrykkelse til Harpers, Paukers, Fløjters og Citres Klang;
6 And the Spirit of Jehovah will come mightily upon thee, and thou shall prophesy with them, and shall be turned into another man.
saa vil HERRENS Aand overvælde dig, saa du falder i profetisk Henrykkelse sammen med dem, og du skal blive til et andet Menneske.
7 And let it be, when these signs have come to thee, that thou do as occasion shall serve thee, for God is with thee.
Naar disse Tegn indtræffer for dig, kan du trygt gøre, hvad der falder for; thi Gud er med dig.
8 And thou shall go down before me to Gilgal. And, behold, I will come down to thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings. Thou shall tarry seven days till I come to thee, and show thee what thou shall do.
Og du skal gaa i Forvejen ned til Gilgal; saa kommer jeg ned til dig for at bringe Brændofre og ofre Takofre. Syv Dage skal du vente, til jeg kommer og kundgør dig, hvad du skal gøre!«
9 And it was so, that, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart. And all those signs came to pass that day.
Da han derpaa vendte sig for at gaa bort fra Samuel, gav Gud ham et helt andet Hjerte, og alle disse Tegn indtraf samme Dag.
10 And when they came there to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him. And the Spirit of God came mightily upon him, and he prophesied among them.
Da han kom hen til Gibea, se, da kom en Flok Profeter ham i Møde, og Guds Aand overvældede ham, og han faldt i profetisk Henrykkelse midt iblandt dem.
11 And it came to pass, when all who knew him formerly saw, that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that has come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
Og da alle, som kendte ham fra tidligere Tid, saa ham i profetisk Henrykkelse sammen med Profeterne, sagde de til hverandre: »Hvad gaar der af Kisj's Søn? Er ogsaa Saul iblandt Profeterne?«
12 And a man from the same place answered and said, And who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
Saa sagde en der fra Stedet: »Hvem er vel deres Fader?« Derfor blev det et Mundheld: »Er ogsaa Saul iblandt Profeterne?«
13 And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
Da hans profetiske Henrykkelse var ovre, gik han til Gibea.
14 And Saul's uncle said to him and to his servant, Where did ye go? And he said, To seek the donkeys, and when we saw that they were not found, we came to Samuel.
Sauls Farbroder spurgte da ham og Karlen: »Hvor har I været henne?« Han svarede: »Ude at lede efter Æslerne; og da vi ikke fandt dem, gik vi hen til Samuel.«
15 And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said to you.
Da sagde Sauls Farbroder: »Fortæl mig, hvad Samuel sagde til eder!«
16 And Saul said to his uncle, He told us plainly that the donkeys were found. But concerning the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel spoke, he did not tell him.
Saul svarede: »Han fortalte os, at Æslerne var fundet!« Men hvad Samuel havde sagt om Kongedømmet, fortalte han ham ikke.
17 And Samuel called the people together to Jehovah to Mizpah.
Derpaa stævnede Samuel Folket sammen hos HERREN i Mizpa;
18 And he said to the sons of Israel, Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you,
og han sagde til Israeliterne: »Saa siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Jeg førte Israel op fra Ægypten og frelste eder af Ægypternes Haand og fra alle de Riger, som plagede eder.
19 but ye have this day rejected your God who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses, and ye have said to him, No, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before Jehovah by your tribes, and by your thousands.
Men nu vrager I eders Gud, som var eders Frelser i alle eders Ulykker og Trængsler, og siger: Nej, en Konge skal du sætte over os! Saa træd nu frem for HERRENS Aasyn Stamme for Stamme og Slægt for Slægt!«
20 So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
Derpaa lod Samuel alle Israels Stammer træde frem, og Loddet ramte Benjamins Stamme.
21 And he brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families, and the family of the Matrites was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken. But when they sought him, he could not be found.
Saa lod han Benjamins Stamme træde frem Slægt for Slægt, og Matris Slægt ramtes. Saa lod han Matris Slægt træde frem Mand for Mand, og Saul, Kisj's Søn, ramtes. Men da man ledte efter ham, var han ikke til at finde.
22 Therefore they asked of Jehovah further, Is there yet a man to come here? And Jehovah answered, Behold, he has hid himself among the baggage.
Da adspurgte de paa ny HERREN: »Er Manden her?« Og HERREN svarede: »Se, han holder sig skjult ved Trosset.«
23 And they ran and fetched him from there. And when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
Saa løb de hen og hentede ham der; og da han traadte ind imellem Folket, var han et Hoved højere end alt Folket.
24 And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom Jehovah has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, Live, O king!
Da sagde Samuel til hele Folket: »Ser I ham, HERREN har udvalgt? Hans Lige findes ikke i alt Folket!« Og hele Folket brød ud i Jubelskrig og raabte: »Kongen leve!«
25 Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before Jehovah. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
Derpaa fremsagde Samuel Kongedømmets Ret for Folket og optegnede den i en Bog, som han lagde hen for HERRENS Aasyn. Saa lod Samuel hele Folket gaa hver til sit:
26 And Saul also went to his house to Gibeah, and mighty men went with him, whose hearts God had touched.
ogsaa Saul gik til sit Hjem i Gibea, og de tapre Mænd, hvis Hjerte Gud rørte, gik med ham.
27 But certain worthless fellows said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no present. But he held his peace.
Men nogle Niddinger sagde: »Hvor skulde denne kunne hjælpe os?« Og de ringeagtede ham og bragte ham ingen Hyldingsgave. Men han var, som han var døv.
