1 Samuel 2
1 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart exults in Jehovah. My horn is exalted in Jehovah. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies because I rejoice in thy salvation.
Da bad Hanna og sagde: Mit Hjerte har frydet sig i Herren, mit Horn er ophøjet i Herren; min Mund er vidt opladt over mine Fjender, thi jeg har glædet mig i din Frelse.
2 There is none holy as Jehovah, for there is none besides thee, neither is there any rock like our God.
Der er ingen hellig som Herren; thi der er ingen foruden dig og ingen Klippe som vor Gud.
3 Talk no more so very proudly. Let not arrogancy come out of your mouth, for Jehovah is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
Taler ikke saa mange Ord, saa saare høje Ting, lader ikke noget frækt udgaa af eders Mund; thi Herren er Vidskabs Gud, skulde hans Gerninger ikke være rette?
4 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and those who stumbled are girded with strength.
De stærkes Bue er brudt, og de skrøbelige ere omgjordede med Styrke.
5 Those who were full have hired out themselves for bread, and those who were hungry have ceased to hunger. Yea, the barren has borne seven, and she who has many sons languishes.
De mætte lade sig leje for Brød, de hungrige hungre ej mere; ja, den ufrugtbare føder syv, men hun med de mange Sønner visner hen.
Herren er den, som døder og gør levende, som nedfører til Dødsriget og fører op igen. (Sheol h7585)
7 Jehovah makes poor, and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up.
Herren er den, som gør fattig og gør rig, han er den, som nedtrykker, og den, som ophøjer;
8 He raises up the poor out of the dust, he lifts up the needy from the dunghill, to make them sit with rulers, and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah's, and he has set the world upon them.
han oprejser den ringe af Støvet, han ophøjer den fattige af Skarnet, for at sætte dem hos Fyrsterne og lade dem arve Ærens Trone; thi Jordens Grundvold hører Herren til, og han har sat Jorderige derpaa.
9 He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness, for by strength no man shall prevail.
Han skal bevare sine frommes Fødder, men ugudelige skulle vorde stumme i Mørket; thi en Mand bliver ikke vældig ved sin Kraft.
10 Those who strive with Jehovah shall be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in heaven. Jehovah will judge the ends of the earth, and he will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
De, som trætte med Herren, skulle forskrækkes, han skal lade tordne i Himmelen over dem; Herren skal dømme Jorderiges Ender, og han skal give sin Konge Styrke og ophøje sin salvedes Horn.
11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house, and the child ministered to Jehovah before Eli the priest.
Derefter gik Elkana til Rama, til sit Hus; men Drengen tjente Herren for Præsten Elis Ansigt.
12 Now the sons of Eli were base men; they knew not Jehovah.
Og Elis Sønner vare Belials Sønner; de kendte ikke Herren.
13 And the custom of the priests with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was boiling, with a flesh-hook of three teeth in his hand,
Thi det var Præsternes Vis med Folket: Naar nogen Mand ofrede et Offer, da kom Præstens Dreng, naar Kødet kogte, og havde en Madkrog med tre Grene i sin Haand.
14 and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot. All that the flesh-hook brought up the priest took with it. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.
Og han stak i Kedlen eller i Gryden eller i Panden eller i Potten; alt hvad Madkrogen drog op, det tog Præsten dermed; saaledes gjorde de mod al Israel, som kom derhen til Silo.
15 And before they burned the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest, for he will not have boiled flesh from thee, but raw.
Ogsaa førend de gjorde Røgoffer af Fedtet, da kom Præstens Dreng og sagde til den Mand, som ofrede: Giv mig Kød til at stege til Præsten; thi han vil ikke tage kogt Kød af dig, men raat.
16 And if the man said to him, They will surely burn the fat first, and then take as much as thy soul desires, then he would say, No, but thou shall give it to me now, and if not, I will take it by force.
Naar Manden sagde til ham: Man skal gøre Røgoffer af Fedtet i Dag; tag dig siden, saaledes som dit Hjerte begærer; da sagde han til ham: Nu skal du dog give det, og hvis ikke, vil jeg tage det med Magt.
17 And the sin of the young men was very great before Jehovah, for the men despised the offering of Jehovah.
Og de unge Mænds Synd var saare stor for Herrens Ansigt; thi Mændene foragtede Herrens Madoffer.
18 But Samuel ministered before Jehovah, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
Og Samuel tjente for Herrens Ansigt og var en Dreng, iført en linnet Livkjortel.
19 Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
Og hans Moder gjorde ham en liden Overkjortel og bragte ham den op fra Aar til Aar, naar hun gik op med sin Mand til at ofre det aarlige Offer.
20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, Jehovah give thee seed by this woman for the petition which was asked of Jehovah. And they went to their own home.
Og Eli velsignede Elkana og hans Hustru og sagde: Herren give dig Sæd af denne Kvinde, i Stedet for ham, som begæredes for Herren, og de gik til deres Sted.
21 And Jehovah visited Hannah, and she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before Jehovah.
Men Herren besøgte Hanna, at hun undfangede og fødte tre Sønner og to Døtre; og Drengen Samuel blev stor hos Herren.
22 Now Eli was very old. And he heard all that his sons did to all Israel, and how that they lay with the women who assembled at the door of the tent of meeting.
Og Eli var saare gammel, og han hørte alt det, hans Sønner gjorde mod al Israel, og at de laa hos de Kvinder, som kom i Hobetal for Forsamlingens Pauluns Dør.
23 And he said to them, Why do ye such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all this people.
Og han sagde til dem: Hvorfor gøre I disse Ting? thi jeg hører disse eders onde Handeler af alt dette Folk.
24 No, my sons, for it is no good report that I hear. Ye make Jehovah's people to transgress.
Ikke saa, mine Sønner; thi det er ikke et godt Rygte, som jeg hører; I komme Herrens Folk til at begaa Overtrædelse.
25 If one man sins against another, God shall judge him, but if a man sins against Jehovah, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding, they did not hearken to the voice of their father, because Jehovah intended to kill them.
Dersom en Mand synder mod en Mand, da skal Gud dømme ham; men dersom nogen synder mod Herren, hvo skal da bede for ham? Men de hørte ikke deres Faders Røst; thi Herren havde Villie til at slaa dem ihjel.
26 And the child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with Jehovah, and also with men.
Men Drengen Samuel tiltog i Alder og i Velbehagelighed, baade for Herren saa og for Menneskene.
27 And there came a man of God to Eli, and said to him, Thus says Jehovah, Did I reveal myself to the house of thy father when they were in Egypt in bondage to Pharaoh's house?
Og en Guds Mand kom til Eli, og han sagde til ham: Saaledes siger Herren: Har jeg ikke aabenbaret mig for din Faders Hus, der de vare i Ægypten i Faraos Hus?
28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? And did I give to the house of thy father all the offerings of the sons of Israel made by fire?
Og jeg har udvalgt ham af alle Israels Stammer mig til en Præst, til at ofre paa mit Alter, til at røge med Røgelse, til at bære Livkjortlen for mit Ansigt, og jeg har givet din Faders Hus alle Israels Børns Ildofre.
29 Why do ye kick at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded in my habitation, and honor thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chief of all the offerings of Israel my people?
Hvorfor vanære I mit Slagtoffer og mit Madoner, som jeg bød at ofre i Boligen? og du ærer dine Sønner mere end mig, idet I fede eder med det bedste af alt mit Folks Israels Madofre!
30 Therefore Jehovah, the God of Israel, says, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me forever, but now Jehovah says, Be it far from me, for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
Derfor siger Herren, Israels Gud: Vistnok har jeg sagt: Dit Hus og din Faders Hus skulle vandre for mit Ansigt til evig Tid; men nu siger Herren: Det være langt fra mig; thi dem, som ære mig, vil jeg ære, og de, som foragte mig, skulle ringeagtes.
31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thy house.
Se, de Dage komme, at jeg vil afhugge din Arm og din Faders Huses Arm, at der ikke skal være en gammel i dit Hus.
32 And thou shall see an enemy in my habitation, in all that I shall give Israel, and there shall not be an old man in thy house forever.
Og du skal se Trængsel for Boligen i alt, hvori det skulde gaaet Israel vel; og der skal ingen gammel være i dit Hus nogen Sinde.
33 And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from my altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thy heart. And all the increase of thy house shall die in the flower of their age.
Og jeg vil ikke udrydde hver Mand af dig fra mit Alter til at fortære dine Øjne og at bedrøve din Sjæl; dog skal hele dit Huses Mangfoldighed dø som Mænd.
34 And this shall be the sign to thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: In one day they shall die, both of them.
Og dette skal være dig et Tegn, som skal komme over dine to Sønner, over Hofni og Pinehas: Paa een Dag skulle de begge dø.
35 And I will raise up for me a faithful priest who shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind. And I will build for him a sure house, and he shall walk before my anointed forever.
Og jeg vil oprejse mig en trofast Præst, han skal gøre, ligesom det er i mit Hjerte og i min Sjæl; og jeg vil bygge ham et bestandigt Hus, og han skal vandre for min salvedes Ansigt alle Dage.
36 And it shall come to pass, that everyone who is left in thy house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices that I may eat a morsel of bread.
Og det skal ske, hver den, som bliver tilovers i dit Hus, skal komme at nedbøje sig for ham for en Sølvpenning og for et Stykke Brød; og han skal sige: Kære, lad mig komme til een af Præstetjenesterne at æde en Mundfuld Brød.
