1 Samuel 14
1 Then on a day Ionathan the sonne of Saul sayde vnto the yong man that bare his armour, Come and let vs goe ouer towarde the Philistims garison, that is yonder on the other side, but he tolde not 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 taried in the border of Gibeah vnder a pomegranate tree, which was in Migron, and the people that were with him, were about sixe hundreth 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 Ahiah the sonne of Ahitub, Ichabods brother, the sonne of Phinehas, the sonne of Eli, was the Lordes Priest in Shiloh, and ware an Ephod: and the people knewe not that Ionathan 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 Nowe in the way whereby Ionathan sought to go ouer to the Philistims garison, there was a sharpe rocke on the one side, and a sharpe rocke on the other side: the name of the one was called 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 rocke stretched from the North towarde Michmash, and the other was from the South toward Gibeah.
Den ene Spids stod Norden imod Mikmas og den anden Sønden imod Geba.
6 And Ionathan saide to the yong man that bare his armour, Come, and let vs goe ouer vnto the garison of these vncircumcised: it may be that the Lord will worke with vs: for it is not hard to the Lord to saue with many, or with fewe.
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 he that bare his armour, saide vnto him, Doe all that is in thine heart: goe where it pleaseth thee: beholde, I am with thee as thine heart desireth.
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 said Ionathan, Beholde, we goe ouer vnto those men, and will shewe our selues vnto them.
Og Jonathan sagde: Se, vi gaa over til Mændene og lade os se af dem.
9 If they say on this wise to vs, Tarie vntill we come to you, then we will stand still in our place, and not goe vp 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, Come vp vnto vs, then we will goe vp: for the Lord hath deliuered them into our hande: and this shall be a signe vnto vs.
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 So they both shewed themselues vnto the garison of the Philistims: and the Philistims said, See, the Ebrewes come out of the holes wherein they had hid themselues.
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 garison answered Ionathan, and his armour bearer, and said, Come vp to vs: for we will shewe you a thing. Then Ionathan said vnto his armour bearer, Come vp after me: for the Lord hath deliuered 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 So Ionathan went vp vpon his hands and vpon his feete, and his armour bearer after him: and some fell before Ionathan, and his armour bearer slewe others 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 So the first slaughter which Ionathan and his armour bearer made, was about twentie men, as it were within halfe an acre of land which two oxen plowe.
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 feare in the hoste, and in the field, and among all the people: the garison also, and they that went out to spoyle, were afraid themselues: and the earth trembled: for it was striken with feare by God.
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 Then the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Beniamin sawe: and beholde, the multitude was discomfited, and smitten as they went.
Og Sauls Skildvagt i Gibea i Benjamin saa til, og se, Hoben splittedes og gik, og de stødte hverandre.
17 Therefore saide Saul vnto the people that were with him, Search nowe and see, who is gone from vs. And when they had nombred, beholde, Ionathan and his armour 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 vnto Ahiah, Bring hither the Arke of God (for the Arke of God was at that time with the children 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 while Saul talked vnto the Priest, the noyse that was in the hoste of the Philistims, spred farther abroade, and encreased: therefore Saul said vnto the Priest, Withdraw thine 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 was assembled with all the people that were with him, and they came to the battell: and behold, euery mans sworde 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 Moreouer, the Ebrewes that were with the Philistims beforetime, and were come with them into all partes of the hoste, euen they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Ionathan.
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 Also all the men of Israel which had hid themselues in mount Ephraim, when they heard, that the Philistims were fled, they followed after them in the battell.
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 And so the Lord saued Israel that day: and the battell continued vnto Beth-auen.
Saa frelste Herren Israel paa den samme Dag, og Striden naaede forbi Beth-Aven.
24 And at that time the men of Israel were pressed with hunger: for Saul charged the people with an othe, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth foode till night, that I may be auenged of mine enemies: so none of the people tasted any sustenance.
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 they of the land came to a wood, where hony lay vpon the ground.
Og Folket fra det ganske Land kom ind i Skoven; men der var Honning paa Marken.
26 And the people came into the wood, and beholde, the hony dropped, and no man mooued his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the othe.
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 Ionathan heard not when his father charged the people with the othe: wherefore he put foorth the ende of the rod that was in his hand, and dipt it in an hony combe, and put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes receiued sight.
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 answered one of the people, and said, Thy father made the people to sweare, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth sustenance 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 said Ionathan, My father hath troubled the land: see nowe howe mine eyes are made cleare, because I haue tasted a litle of this honie:
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 Howe much more, if the people had eaten to day of the spoyle of their enemies which they found? for had there not bene nowe a greater slaughter among the Philistims?
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 the Philistims that day, from Michmash to Aiialon: and the people were exceeding faint.
Og de sloge Filisterne paa den Dag fra Mikmas indtil Ajalon, og Folket blev meget træt.
32 So the people turned to the spoile, and tooke sheepe, and oxen, and calues, and slewe them on the ground, and the people did eate 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 men tolde Saul, saying, Beholde, the people sinne against the Lord, in that they eate with the blood. And he saide, Ye haue trespassed: roule a great stone vnto 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 Againe Saul said, Goe abroade among the people, and bid them bring me euery man his oxe, and euery man his sheepe, and slay them here, and eate and sinne not against the Lord in eating with the blood. And ye people brought euery man his oxe in his hand that night, and slew 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 Then Saul made an altar vnto the Lord, and that was the first altar that he made vnto the Lord.
Da byggede Saul Herren et Alter; det var det første Alter, han byggede Herren.
36 And Saul saide, Let vs goe downe after the Philistims by night, and spoyle them vntill the morning shine, and let vs not leaue a man of them. And they saide, Doe whatsoeuer thou thinkest best. Then saide the Priest, Let vs drawe neere hither vnto 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 So Saul asked of God, saying, Shall I goe downe after ye Philistims? wilt thou deliuer them into the hands of Israel? But he answered him not at that time.
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, All ye chiefe of the people, come ye hither, and knowe, and see by whom this sinne is done 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 the Lord liueth, which saueth Israel, though it be done by Ionathan my sonne, he shall dye the death. But none of all the people 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 saide vnto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Ionathan my sonne will be on the other side. And the people saide vnto Saul, Doe what thou thinkest best.
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 Then Saul said vnto the Lord God of Israel, Giue a perfite lot. And Ionathan and Saul were taken, 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 saide, Cast lot betweene me and Ionathan my sonne. And Ionathan was taken.
Da sagde Saul: Kaster Lod imellem mig og imellem Jonathan, min Søn; da blev Jonathan ramt.
43 Then Saul said to Ionathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Ionathan tolde him, and said, I tasted a litle hony with the ende of the rod, that was in mine hand, and loe, 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 Againe Saul answered, God doe so and more also, vnlesse thou die the death, Ionathan.
Da sagde Saul: Gud gøre mig nu og fremdeles saa og saa, du skal visseligen dø, Jonathan!
45 And the people said vnto Saul, Shall Ionathan die, who hath so mightily deliuered Israel? God forbid. As the Lord liueth, there shall not one heare of his head fall to the ground: for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people deliuered Ionathan that he dyed not.
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 came vp from the Philistims: and the Philistims went to their owne place.
Da drog Saul op fra at jage efter Filisterne, og Filisterne gik til deres Sted.
47 So Saul helde the kingdome ouer Israel, and fought against all his enemies on euery side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the Kings of Zobah, and against the Philistims: and whithersoeuer he went, he handled them as wicked men.
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 He gathered also an hoste and smote Amalek, and deliuered Israel out of the handes of them that spoyled them.
Og han gjorde mægtige Gerninger og slog Amalek og friede Israel af deres Haand, som havde plyndret dem.
49 Nowe the sonnes of Saul were Ionathan, and Ishui, and Malchishua: and the names of his two daughters, the elder was called Merab, and the yonger was named 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 Sauls wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of his chiefe captaine was Abner the sonne of Ner, Sauls vncle.
Og Sauls Hustrus Navn var Ahinoam, Ahimaaz' Datter; og hans Stridshøvedsmands Navn var Abner, en Søn af Ner, Sauls Farbroder.
51 And Kish was Sauls father: and Ner the father of Abner was the sonne of Abiel.
Og Kis, Sauls Fader, i lige Maade Ner, Abners Fader, var Abiels Søn.
52 And there was sore warre against the Philistims all the dayes of Saul: and whomsoeuer Saul sawe to be a strong man, and meete for the warre, he tooke him vnto 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.
