1 Samuel 13
1 Saul nowe had beene King one yeere, and he reigned two yeeres ouer Israel.
Saul var. . Aar, da han blev Konge, og han regerede paa andet Aar over Israel.
2 Then Saul chose him three thousand of Israel: and two thousande were with Saul in Michmash, and in mount Beth-el, and a thousande were with Ionathan in Gibeah of Beniamin: and the rest of the people he sent euery one to his tent.
Da udvalgte Saul sig tre Tusinde af Israel, og to Tusinde vare med Saul i Mikmas og paa Bethels Bjerg, og tusinde vare med Jonathan i Benjamins Gibea; men de øvrige Folk lod han fare, hver til sine Telte.
3 And Ionathan smote the garison of the Philistims, that was in the hill: and it came to the Philistims eares: and Saul blewe the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Heare, O yee Ebrewes.
Og Jonathan slog Filisternes Besætning, som var paa Højen, og Filisterne hørte det; derfor lod Saul blæse i Trompeten i hele Landet og sige: Lad Hebræerne høre det!
4 And al Israel heard say, Saul hath destroied a garison of the Philistims: wherefore Israel was had in abomination with the Philistims: and the people gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
Og al Israel hørte, at der sagdes: Saul har slaget Filisternes Besætning, og Israel har gjort sig forhadt hos Filisterne; da blev Folket sammenkaldt efter Saul til Gilgal.
5 The Philistims also gathered themselues together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand charets, and sixe thousande horsemen: for the people was like the sand which is by the seas side in multitude, and came vp, and pitched in Michmash Eastward from Beth-auen.
Og Filisterne samledes til at stride med Israel, tredive Tusinde Vogne og seks Tusinde Ryttere og Folk som Sand, der er ved Havbredden i Mangfoldighed; og de droge op og lejrede sig i Mikmas, Østen for Beth-Aven.
6 And when the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were in distresse) the people hid themselues in caues, and in holdes, and in rockes, and in towres, and in pittes.
Der Israels Mænd saa sig i Nød (thi Folket blev trængt), da skjulte Folket sig i Hulerne og i Tornebuskene og i Klipperne og i de faste Taarne og i Grøfterne.
7 And some of the Ebrewes went ouer Iorden vnto the lande of Gad and Gilead: and Saul was yet in Gilgal, and al the people for feare followed him.
Og Hebræere gik over Jordanen til Gads Land og til Gilead; og Saul var endnu i Gilgal, og alt Folket var forskrækket og fulgte efter ham.
8 And he taried seuen daies, according vnto the time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal, therefore the people were scattered from him.
Og han tøvede i syv Dage til den Tid, som var bestemt af Samuel, men Samuel kom ikke til Gilgal; da adspredtes Folket fra ham.
9 And Saul sayde, Bring a burnt offering to me and peace offrings: and he offered a burnt offering.
Da sagde Saul: Fører hid til mig Brændofret og Takofrene; og han ofrede Brændofret.
10 And assoone as hee had made an ende of offering the burnt offering, beholde, Samuel came: and Saul went foorth to meete him, to salute him.
Og det skete, der han var færdig med at ofre Brændofret, se, da kom Samuel! og Saul gik ud imod ham at hilse paa ham.
11 And Samuel saide, What hast thou done? Then Saul saide, Because I sawe that the people was scattred from me, and that thou camest not within the daies appoynted, and that the Philistims gathered themselues together to Michmash,
Da sagde Samuel: Hvad har du gjort? og Saul sagde: Da jeg saa, at Folket adspredtes fra mig, og du kom ikke til den bestemte Tid, og Filisterne vare samlede udi Mikmas,
12 Therefore said I, The Philistims will come downe nowe vpon me to Gilgal, and I haue not made supplication vnto the Lord. I was bolde therefore and offred a burnt offring.
da sagde jeg: Nu komme Filisterne ned mod mig i Gilgal, og jeg har ikke bedet for Herrens Ansigt; da tog jeg Mod til mig og ofrede Brændofret.
13 And Samuel saide to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandement of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee: for the Lord had nowe stablished thy kingdome vpon Israel for euer.
Da sagde Samuel til Saul: Du har handlet daarligen; du har ikke holdt Herren din Guds Bud, som han bød dig; saa havde Herren nu stadfæstet dit Kongedømme over Israel evindelig.
14 But nowe thy kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought him a man after his owne heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be gouernour ouer his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord had commanded thee.
Men nu skal dit Kongedømme ikke bestaa; Herren har opsøgt sig en Mand efter sit Hjerte, og ham har Herren budet at være en Fyrste over sit Folk, fordi du ikke har holdt det, som Herren har befalet dig.
15 And Samuel arose, and gate him vp from Gilgal in Gibeah of Beniamin: and Saul nombred the people that were found with him, about sixe hundreth men.
Og Samuel gjorde sig rede og gik op fra Gilgal til Gibea i Benjamin; og Saul talte det Folk, som fandtes hos ham, ved seks Hundrede Mand.
16 And Saul and Ionathan his sonne, and the people that were found with them, had their abiding in Gibeah of Beniamin: but the Philistims pitched in Michmash.
Og Saul og Jonathan, hans Søn, og det Folk, som fandtes hos dem, bleve i Gibea i Benjamin; men Filisterne havde lejret sig i Mikmas.
17 And there came out of the hoste of the Philistims three bandes to destroie, one bande turned vnto the way of Ophrah vnto the lande of Shual,
Og der uddrog en ødelæggende Skare af Filisternes Lejr i tre Hobe; den ene Hob vendte sig ad Vejen imod Ofra, til Landet Sual;
18 And another bad turned toward the way to Beth-horon, and the third band turned toward the way of the coast that looketh toward the valley of Zeboim, towarde the wildernesse.
og den anden Hob vendte sig ad Vejen til Beth-Horon; og den tredje Hob vendte sig mod Vejen ved Skellet, der rager frem over Zeboims Dal, ad Ørken til.
19 Then there was no smith founde throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistims sayde, Lest the Ebrewes make them swordes or speares.
Og der blev ingen Smed funden i al Israels Land; thi Filisterne sagde: At Hebræerne ikke skulde gøre Sværd eller Spyd.
20 Wherefore all ye Israelites went downe to the Philistims, to sharpen euery man his share, his mattocke, and his axe, and his weeding hooke.
Derfor maatte al Israel fare ned til Filisterne, at hver kunde faa sit Plovjern og sin Hakke og sin Økse og sin Spade skærpet;
21 Yet they had a file for the shares, and for the mattockes, and for the picke forkes, and for the axes, and for to sharpen the goades.
og de havde skarpe File til Spader og Hakker og Treforke og Økser, og saa ofte Æggen var sløvet paa Spader, og naar de skulde have en Braad sat ind.
22 So whe the day of battell was come, there was neither sworde nor speare founde in the handes of any of the people that were with Saul and with Ionathan: but onely with Saul and Ionathan his sonne was there founde.
Og det skete paa Stridens Dag, at der ikke blev funden Sværd eller Spyd i nogen af Folkets Haand, som var med Saul og med Jonathan; dog fandtes der hos Saul og hos Jonathan, hans Søn.
23 And the garison of the Philistims came out to the passage of Michmash.
Og Filisternes Besætning drog ud til Kløftvejen ved Mikmas.
