Kings I 14
1 And when a certain day arrived, Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to Messab of the Philistines that is on the other side yonder; but he told 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 sat on the top of the hill under the pomegranate tree that is in Magdon, and there were with him 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 Achia son of Achitob, the brother of Jochabed the son of Phinees, the son of Heli, [was] the priest of God in Selom wearing an ephod: and the people knew not 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 in the midst of the passage whereby Jonathan sought to pass over to the encampment of the Philistines, there was both a sharp rock on this side, and a sharp rock on the other side: the name of the one [was] Bases, and the name of the other Senna.
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 way [was] northward to one coming to Machmas, and the other way [was] southward to one coming to Gabae.
Den ene Spids stod Norden imod Mikmas og den anden Sønden imod Geba.
6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armor, Come, let us go over to Messab of these uncircumcised, if [perhaps] the Lord may do something for us; for the Lord is not straitened 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 your heart inclines toward: behold, I [am] with you, my heart [is] as your 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 And Jonathan said, Behold, we will go over to the men, and will come down suddenly upon them.
Og Jonathan sagde: Se, vi gaa over til Mændene og lade os se af dem.
9 If they should say thus to us, Stand aloof there until we shall send you word; then we will stand still by ourselves, and will not go up against 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 should say thus to us, Come up to us; then will we go up, for the Lord has delivered them into our hands; this [shall be] a 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 they both went in to Messab of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of their Caves, where they had hidden 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 Messab 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 the Lord has delivered them into the hands 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 went up on his hands and feet, and his armor-bearer with him; and they looked on the face of Jonathan, and he struck them, and his armor-bearer did strike [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 the first slaughter which Jonathan and his armor-bearer effected was twenty men, with darts and slings, and pebbles of the field.
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 dismay in the camp, and in the field; and all the people in Messab, and the spoilers were amazed; and they would not act, and the land was terror-struck, and there was dismay from the lord.
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 saw in Gabaa of Benjamin, and, behold, the army was thrown into confusion on every side.
Og Sauls Skildvagt i Gibea i Benjamin saa til, og se, Hoben splittedes og gik, og de stødte hverandre.
17 And Saul said to the people with him, Number yourselves now, and see who has gone out from you: and they numbered themselves, and behold, Jonathan and his armor-bearer were not found.
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 Achia, Bring the ephod; for he wore the ephod in that day before 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 was speaking to the priest, that the sound in the camp of the Philistines continued to increase greatly; and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw your hands.
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 went up and all the people that were with him, and they come to the battle: and, behold, [every] man's sword was against his neighbor, a very great confusion.
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 And the servants who had been before with the Philistines, who had gone up to the army, turned themselves also 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 And all the Israelites who were hidden in mount Ephraim heard also that the Philistines fled; and they also gather themselves after them to battle: and the Lord saved Israel in that day; and the war passed through Bamoth; and all the people with Saul were about ten thousand men.
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 the battle extended itself to every city in the mount Ephraim.
Saa frelste Herren Israel paa den samme Dag, og Striden naaede forbi Beth-Aven.
24 And Saul committed a great trespass of ignorance in that day, and he lays a curse on the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who shall eat bread before the evening; so I will avenge myself on my enemy: and none of the people tasted bread, though all the land was dining.
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 Jaal was a wood abounding in swarms of bees on the face of the ground.
Og Folket fra det ganske Land kom ind i Skoven; men der var Honning paa Marken.
26 And the people went into the place of the bees, and, behold, they continued speaking; and, behold, there was none that put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath of the Lord.
Og Folket kom ind i Skoven, se, da flød Honningen; og ingen førte sin Haand til sin Mund; thi Folket frygtede for Besværgelsen.
27 And Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people; and he reached forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, an dipped it into the honeycomb, and returned his hand to his mouth, and his eyes recovered their 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 And one of the people answered and said, Your father solemnly adjured the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who shall eat bread today. And the people were very 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 and Jonathan knew it, and said, My father has destroyed the land: see how my eyes have received sight [now] that I have 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 Surely if the people had this day eaten freely of the spoils of their enemies which they found, the slaughter among the Philistines would have been greater.
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 on that day he struck some of the Philistines in Machmas; and the people were very weary.
Og de sloge Filisterne paa den Dag fra Mikmas indtil Ajalon, og Folket blev meget træt.
32 And the people turned to the spoil; and the people took flocks, and herds, and calves, and killed them on the ground, and the people ate 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 And it was reported to Saul, saying, The people have sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood: and Saul said, Out of Getthaim roll a great stone to me hither.
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 tell them to bring hither every one his calf, and every one his sheep: and let them kill it on this [stone] and sin not against the Lord in eating with the blood: and the people brought each one that which was in his hand, and they 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 there to the Lord: this was the first altar that Saul built to the Lord.
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 this night, and let us plunder among them till the day break, and let us not leave a man among them. And they said, Do all that is good in your sight: and the priest said, let us draw near hither 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 enquired of God, If I go down after the Philistines, will you deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not in 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, Bring hither all the chiefs of Israel, and know and see by whom this sin has been committed 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 lives who has saved Israel, if answer should be against my son Jonathan, he shall surely die. And there was no one that answered out of all the people.
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 And he said to all the men of Israel, You shall be under subjection, and I an Jonathan my son will be under subjection: and the people said to Saul, Do that which is good in your sight.
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 And Saul said, O Lord God of Israel, why have you not answered your servant this day? [is] the iniquity in me, or in Jonathan my son? Lord God of Israel, give clear [manifestations]; and if [the lot] should declare this, give, I pray you, to your people of Israel, give, I pray, holiness. And Jonathan and Saul are taken, and 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 my son Jonathan: whoever the Lord shall cause to be taken by lot, let him die: and the people said to Saul, This thing is not [to be done]: and Saul prevailed against the people, and they cast [lots] between him and Jonathan his son, and Jonathan is taken by lot.
Da sagde Saul: Kaster Lod imellem mig og imellem Jonathan, min Søn; da blev Jonathan ramt.
43 And Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what you have done: and Jonathan told him, and said, I did indeed taste a little honey, with the end of my staff that was in my hand, and, behold! I [am to] 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 to him, God do so to me, and more also, you shall surely die today.
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 he that has wrought this great salvation in Israel be put to death this day? [As] the Lord lives, there shall not fall to the ground one of the hairs of his head; for the people of God have wrought successfully this day. And the people prayed for Jonathan in that day, and he died 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 And Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines departed to their place.
Da drog Saul op fra at jage efter Filisterne, og Filisterne gik til deres Sted.
47 And Saul received the kingdom, by lot he inherits the office [of ruling] over Israel: and he fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against the children of Edom, and against Baethaeor, and against the king of Suba, and against the Philistines: wherever he turned, he was victorious.
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 wrought valiantly, and struck Amalec, and rescued Israel out of the hand of them that trampled on him.
Og han gjorde mægtige Gerninger og slog Amalek og friede Israel af deres Haand, som havde plyndret dem.
49 And the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Jessiu, and Melchisa: and [these were] the names of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn Merob, and the name of the second Melchol.
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 his wife was Achinoom, the daughter of Achimaa: and the name of his captain of the host was Abenner, the son of Ner, son of a kinsman of Saul.
Og Sauls Hustrus Navn var Ahinoam, Ahimaaz' Datter; og hans Stridshøvedsmands Navn var Abner, en Søn af Ner, Sauls Farbroder.
51 And Kis [was] the father of Saul, and Ner, the father of Abenezer, [was] son of Jamin, son of Abiel.
Og Kis, Sauls Fader, i lige Maade Ner, Abners Fader, var Abiels Søn.
52 And the war was vehement against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man, and any valiant man, then he took them to himself.
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.
