1 Samuel 14
1 Now it fell upon a day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison that is on yonder side. But he did not tell his father.
Og det hændte sig en Dag, at Jonathan, Sauls Søn, sagde til den unge Karl, som bar hans Vaaben: Gak med, saa ville vi gaa over til Filisternes Besætning, som er paa hin Side; og han gav sin Fader det ikke til Kende.
2 And Saul abode in the outermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron. And the people who were with him were about six hundred men,
Men Saul blev ved det yderste af Gibea under Granattræet, som var i Migron; og det Folk, som var hos ham, var ved seks Hundrede Mand.
3 and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of Jehovah in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people did not know that Jonathan was gone.
Og Ahia, Ahitobs Søn, Ikabods Broder, som var en Søn af Pinehas, Elis Søn, Herrens Præst i Silo, bar Livkjortlen; men Folket vidste ikke, at Jonathan var gaaet bort.
4 And between the passes by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines' garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side, and a rocky crag on the other side. And the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
Og imellem Kløftvejene, hvor Jonathan søgte at gaa over mod Filisternes Besætning, var en spids Klippe paa denne Side og en spids Klippe paa hin Side, og den enes Navn var Bozez og den andens Navn Sene.
5 The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.
Den ene Spids stod Norden imod Mikmas og den anden Sønden imod Geba.
6 And Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that Jehovah will work for us, for there is no limitation to Jehovah to save by many or by few.
Og Jonathan sagde til den unge Karl, som bar hans Vaaben: Kom, saa ville vi gaa over til disse uomskaarnes Besætning, maaske Herren udretter noget for os; thi hos Herren er intet til Hinder i at frelse ved mange eller ved faa.
7 And his armor bearer said to him, Do all that is in thy heart. Turn thee, behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.
Og hans Vaabendrager sagde til ham: Gør alt det, som er i dit Hjerte; bøj af Vejen, se, jeg er med dig efter dit Hjerte.
8 Then Jonathan said, Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will disclose ourselves to them.
Og Jonathan sagde: Se, vi gaa over til Mændene og lade os se af dem.
9 If they say thus to us, Tarry until we come to you, then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up to them.
Dersom de sige saaledes til os: Staar stille, indtil vi komme nær til eder, saa ville vi staa paa vort Sted og ikke gaa op til dem.
10 But if they say thus, Come up to us, then we will go up, for Jehovah has delivered them into our hand, and this shall be the sign to us.
Men dersom de sige saaledes: Kommer op til os, saa ville vi stige op; thi Herren har givet dem i vor Haand; og dette skal være os et Tegn.
11 And both of them disclosed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines. And the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.
Der de begge bleve sete af Filisternes Besætning, da sagde Filisterne: Se, Hebræerne ere udgangne af Hulerne, hvor de skjulte sig.
12 And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armor bearer, Come up after me, for Jehovah has delivered them into the hand of Israel.
Og Mændene i Besætningen tiltalede Jonathan og hans Vaabendrager og sagde: Kommer op til os, saa ville vi lære eder noget. Da sagde Jonathan til sin Vaabendrager: Stig op efter mig; thi Herren har givet dem i Israels Haand.
13 And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armor bearer after him. And they fell before Jonathan, and his armor bearer killed them after him.
Og Jonathan steg op paa sine Hænder og paa sine Fødder og hans Vaabendrager efter ham; da faldt de for Jonathans Ansigt, og hans Vaabendrager slog ihjel efter ham.
14 And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow's length in an acre of land.
Og det første Slag, som Jonathan og hans Vaabendrager slog, var ved tyve Mand, paa omtrent den halve Længde af en Dags Pløjeland.
15 And there was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. The garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled. And the earth quaked, so there was an exceedingly great trembling.
Og der var en Forfærdelse i Lejren, paa Marken og iblandt alt Folket; Besætningen og den ødelæggende Skare bleve ogsaa forfærdede, ja, Landet skælvede; thi det var en Forfærdelse fra Gud.
16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went here and there.
Og Sauls Skildvagt i Gibea i Benjamin saa til, og se, Hoben splittedes og gik, og de stødte hverandre.
17 Then Saul said to the people who were with him, Number now, and see who has gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.
Da sagde Saul til Folket, som var hos ham: Tæller dog, og ser til, hvo der er gaaet bort fra os. Og de talte og se, Jonathan og hans Vaabendrager vare der ikke.
18 And Saul said to Ahijah, Bring here the ark of God. For the ark of God was there at that time with the sons of Israel.
Da sagde Saul til Ahia: Lad Guds Ark komme hid; thi Guds Ark var paa den samme Dag hos Israels Børn.
19 And it came to pass, while Saul talked to the priest, that the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased. And Saul said to the priest, Withdraw thy hand.
Og det skete, der Saul endnu talede med Præsten, at det Bulder, som var i Filisternes Lejr, fik Fremgang og blev stort; da sagde Saul til Præsten: Lad kun være!
20 And Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle. And, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.
Og Saul og alt det Folk, som var hos ham, blev sammenkaldt, og de kom til Striden, og se, den enes Sværd var imod den andens, og der var en saare stor Forstyrrelse.
21 Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines as formerly, and who went up with them into the camp, from the country round about, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
Og de Hebræer, som havde været med Filisterne tilforn, og som vare dragne op med dem i Lejren trindt omkring, de kom ogsaa for at være med Israel, som var med Saul og Jonathan.
22 Likewise all the men of Israel who had hid themselves in the hill-country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed close after them in the battle.
Og alle Israels Mænd, som havde skjult sig paa Efraims Bjerg, der de hørte, at Filisterne flyede, da satte de efter dem i Striden.
23 So Jehovah saved Israel that day, and the battle passed over by Beth-aven.
Saa frelste Herren Israel paa den samme Dag, og Striden naaede forbi Beth-Aven.
24 And the men of Israel were distressed that day, for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man who eats any food until it be evening, and I be avenged on my enemies. So none of the people tasted food.
Og Israels Mænd bleve haardt anstrengte paa den samme Dag; thi Saul havde besvoret Folket og sagt: Forbandet være den Mand, som æder noget Mad indtil Aftenen, at jeg kan faa mig hævnet paa mine Fjender; derfor smagte det ganske Folk ingen Mad.
25 And all the people came into the forest, and there was honey upon the ground.
Og Folket fra det ganske Land kom ind i Skoven; men der var Honning paa Marken.
26 And when the people came to the forest, behold, the honey dropped, but no man put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.
Og Folket kom ind i Skoven, se, da flød Honningen; og ingen førte sin Haand til sin Mund; thi Folket frygtede for Besværgelsen.
27 But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath, therefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were enlightened.
Men Jonathan havde ikke hørt det, der hans Fader besvor Folket, men han udrakte det yderste af Kæppen, som han havde i sin Haand, og dyppede den i en Honningkage; og han førte sin Haand til sin Mund, og hans Øjne bleve klare.
28 Then one of the people answered, and said, Thy father strictly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man who eats food this day, and the people were faint.
Da svarede en Mand af Folket og sagde: Din Fader besvor Folket haardeligen og sagde: Forbandet være hver Mand, som æder nogen Mad i Dag. Og Folket var træt.
29 Then Jonathan said, My father has troubled the land. See, I pray you, how my eyes have been enlightened because I tasted a little of this honey.
Da sagde Jonathan: Min Fader har gjort Uret imod Landet; se, kære, mine Øjne ere blevne klare, fordi jeg smagte lidet af denne Honning.
30 How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies which they found? For now there has been no great slaughter among the Philistines.
Ja, gid Folket havde ædt i Dag af sine Fjenders Bytte, som de fandt; thi hidtil har Nederlaget ikke været meget stort paa Filisterne.
31 And they smote of the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. And the people were very faint,
Og de sloge Filisterne paa den Dag fra Mikmas indtil Ajalon, og Folket blev meget træt.
32 and the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and killed them on the ground. And the people ate them with the blood.
Og Folket tillavede, hvad de havde gjort til Bytte, og de toge Faar og Øksne og Kalve og slagtede paa Jorden, og Folket aad det med Blodet.
33 Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against Jehovah, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, ye have dealt treacherously. Roll a great stone to me this day.
Da forkyndte de Saul det, og sagde: Se, Folket synder for Herren, at de æde det med Blodet, og han sagde: I have forsyndet eder, vælter nu en stor Sten hen til mig!
34 And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, Bring me here every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat. And sin not against Jehovah in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed them there.
Og Saul sagde: Adspreder eder iblandt Folket og siger til dem: Fører hver sin Okse og hver sit Lam hid til mig, og slagter dem her og æder, og synder ikke imod Herren ved at æde med Blodet; da førte alt Folket hver sin Okse ved sin Haand derhen om Natten, og de slagtede der.
35 And Saul built an altar to Jehovah; the same was the first altar that he built to Jehovah.
Da byggede Saul Herren et Alter; det var det første Alter, han byggede Herren.
36 And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatever seems good to thee. Then the priest said, Let us draw near here to God.
Og Saul sagde: Lader os drage ned efter Filisterne i Nat og gøre Bytte iblandt dem, indtil det bliver lys Morgen, saa at vi ikke lade en Mand af dem blive tilovers; og de sagde: Gør alt det, som er godt for dine Øjne; men Præsten sagde: Lader os her holde os nær til Gud.
37 And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he did not answer him that day.
Og Saul adspurgte Gud: Skal jeg drage ned efter Filisterne? vil du give dem i Israels Haand? Men han svarede ham ikke paa den Dag.
38 And Saul said, Draw near here, all ye chiefs of the people, and know and see how this sin has been this day.
Da sagde Saul: Kommer her hid, alle Folkets Øverster, og kender og ser, hvorved denne Synd i Dag er sket.
39 For, as Jehovah lives, who saves Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people who answered him.
Thi saa vist som Herren lever, han, der frelser Israel! dersom det endog var Jonathan, min Søn, da skal han visseligen dø; og ingen svarede ham af alt Folket.
40 Then he said to all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do what seems good to thee.
Og han sagde til al Israel: I skulle være paa den ene Side, men jeg og Jonathan, min Søn, vi ville være paa den anden Side; og Folket sagde til Saul: Gør det, som godt er for dine Øjne.
41 Therefore Saul said to Jehovah, the God of Israel, Show the right. And Jonathan and Saul were taken by lot, but the people escaped.
Og Saul sagde til Herren, Israels Gud: Lad Sandheden komme frem; og Jonathan og Saul blev ramt, men Folket gik fri.
42 And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.
Da sagde Saul: Kaster Lod imellem mig og imellem Jonathan, min Søn; da blev Jonathan ramt.
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou have done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did certainly taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand. And, lo, I must die.
Og Saul sagde til Jonathan: Giv mig til Kende, hvad du har gjort? Og Jonathan gav ham til Kende og sagde: Jeg smagte med det yderste af den Kæp, som er i min Haand, lidt Honning, se, her er jeg, skal jeg dø?
44 And Saul said, God do so and more also, for thou shall surely die, Jonathan.
Da sagde Saul: Gud gøre mig nu og fremdeles saa og saa, du skal visseligen dø, Jonathan!
45 And the people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who has wrought this great salvation in Israel? Far from it. As Jehovah lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he has wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he did not die.
Men Folket sagde til Saul: Skulde Jonathan dø, som har bragt denne store Frelse i Israel? det være langt fra! Saa vist som Herren lever, skal der ikke falde et af hans Hovedhaar til Jorden, thi han har gjort dette paa denne Dag ved Gud; saa udfriede Folket Jonathan, at han ikke skulde dø.
46 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines, and the Philistines went to their own place.
Da drog Saul op fra at jage efter Filisterne, og Filisterne gik til deres Sted.
47 Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the sons of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. And wherever he turned himself, he put them to the worse.
Og Saul havde taget Kongemagten over Israel; og han stred imod alle sine Fjender trindt omkring, imod Moabiterne og imod Ammons Børn og imod Edomiterne og imod Kongerne af Zoba og imod Filisterne, og hvor han vendte sig hen, revsede han dem.
48 And he did valiantly, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who despoiled them.
Og han gjorde mægtige Gerninger og slog Amalek og friede Israel af deres Haand, som havde plyndret dem.
49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchishua. And the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.
Og Sauls Sønner vare: Jonathan og Jisui og Malkisua, og hans to Døtres Navne vare, den førstefødtes Navn Merab, og den yngstes Navn Mikal.
50 And the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the captain of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.
Og Sauls Hustrus Navn var Ahinoam, Ahimaaz' Datter; og hans Stridshøvedsmands Navn var Abner, en Søn af Ner, Sauls Farbroder.
51 And Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.
Og Kis, Sauls Fader, i lige Maade Ner, Abners Fader, var Abiels Søn.
52 And there was great war against the Philistines all the days of Saul. And when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him to him.
Og Krigen var haard imod Filisterne alle Sauls Dage; og hvor Saul saa en vældig Mand eller nogen duelig Mand, da drog han ham til sig.
