Kings I 28
1 And it came to pass in those days that the Philistines gathered themselves together with their armies to go out to fight with Israel; and Anchus said to David, Know surely, that you shall go forth to battle with me, [you], and your men.
Og det skete i de samme Dage, at Filisterne samlede deres Hære til Striden for at føre Krig imod Israel; og Akis sagde til David: Du skal vide, at du skal drage ud med mig i Lejren, du og dine Mænd.
2 And David said to Anchus, Thus now you shall know what your servant will do. And Anchus said to David, So will I make you captain of my body-guard continually.
Da sagde David til Akis: Derfor skal du og fornemme, hvad din Tjener vil gøre; og Akis sagde til David: Derfor vil jeg sætte dig til Vogter over mit Hoved alle Dage.
3 And Samuel died, and all Israel lamented for him, and they bury him in his city, in Armathaim. And Saul had removed those who had in them divining spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.
Men Samuel var død, og al Israel havde sørget over ham og begravet ham i Rama, og det ved hans Stad; og Saul havde bortskaffet Spaakvinder og Tegnsudlæggere af Landet.
4 And the Philistines assemble themselves, and come and encamp in Sonam: and Saul gathers all the men of Israel, and they encamp in Gelbue.
Og der Filisterne samledes og kom og lejrede sig i Sunem, da samlede Saul al Israel, og de lejrede sig i Gilboa.
5 And Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, and he was alarmed, and his heart was greatly dismayed.
Der Saul saa Filisternes Lejr, da frygtede han, og hans Hjerte var saare forfærdet.
6 And Saul enquired of the Lord; and the Lord answered him not by dreams, nor by manifestations, nor by prophets.
Og Saul adspurgte Herren, men Herren svarede ham intet, hverken ved Drømme eller ved Urim eller ved Profeterne.
7 Then Saul said to his servants, Seek for me a woman who has in her a divining spirit, and I will go to her, and enquire of her: and his servants said to him, Behold, [there is] a woman who has in her a divining spirit at Aendor.
Da sagde Saul til sine Tjenere: Opleder mig en Kvinde, som har en Spaadoms Aand, at jeg kan gaa til hende og adspørge hende; og hans Tjenere sagde til ham: Se, der er en Kvinde, som har Spaadoms Aand, i Endor.
8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he goes, and two men with him, and they come to the woman by night; and he said to her, Divine to me, I pray you, by the divining spirit within you, and bring up to me him whom I shall name to you.
Og Saul gjorde sig ukendelig og førte sig i andre Klæder, og han gik hen og to Mænd med ham, og de kom til Kvinden om Natten, og han sagde: Kære, spaa mig ved en Spaadoms Aand, og man mig den frem, som jeg siger dig.
9 And the woman said to him, Behold now, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who had in them divining spirits, and the wizards from the land, and why do you spread a snare for my life to destroy it?
Og Kvinden sagde til ham: Se, du ved, hvad Saul har gjort, hvorledes han har ladet udrydde Spaakvinder og Tegnsudlæggere af Landet, og hvorfor vil du sætte en Snare for min Sjæl til at lade mig slaa ihjel?
10 And Saul swore to her, and said, [As] the Lord lives, no injury shall come upon you on this account.
Da tilsvor Saul hende ved Herren og sagde: Saa vist som Herren lever, skal denne Gerning ikke regnes dig til Misgerning.
11 And the woman said, Whom shall I bring up to you? and he said, Bring up to me Samuel.
Da sagde Kvinden: Hvem skal jeg da mane dig frem? og han sagde: Lad mig Samuel komme op.
12 And the woman saw Samuel, and cried out with a loud voice: and the woman said to Saul, Why have you deceived me? for you are Saul.
Der Kvinden saa Samuel, da raabte hun med stærk Røst; og Kvinden sagde til Saul: Hvi har du bedraget mig? du er jo Saul.
13 And the king said to her, Fear not; tell me whom you has seen. And the woman said to him, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
Da sagde Kongen til hende: Frygt ikke! men hvad har du set? og Kvinden sagde til Saul: Jeg har set Guder stige op af Jorden.
14 And he said to her, What did you perceive? and she said to him, An upright man ascending out of the earth, and he [was] clothed with a mantle. And Saul knew that this was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the earth, and did obeisance to him.
Og han sagde til hende: Hvordan er hans Skikkelse? og hun sagde: Der kommer en gammel Mand op, og han er klædt i en Kappe; da fornam Saul, at det var Samuel, og han bøjede sit Ansigt til Jorden og kastede sig ned.
15 And Samuel said, Why have you troubled me, that I should come up? And Saul said, I am greatly distressed, and the Philistines war against me, and God has departed from me, and no longer hearkens to me either by the hand of the prophets or by dreams: and now I have called you to tell me what I shall do.
Og Samuel sagde til Saul: Hvorfor gjorde du mig Uro og lod mig hente op? Da sagde Saul: Jeg er saare angst, thi Filisterne stride imod mig, og Gud er vegen fra mig og svarer mig ikke ydermere, hverken ved Profeter eller ved Drømme, derfor lod jeg dig kalde, at du skulde lade mig vide, hvad jeg skal gøre.
16 And Samuel said, Why asked you me, whereas the Lord has departed from you, and taken part with your neighbor?
Da sagde Samuel: Men hvorfor vil du spørge mig, efterdi Herren er vegen fra dig og er bleven din Fjende?
17 And the Lord has done to you, as the Lord spoke by me; and the Lord will rend your kingdom out of your hand, and will give it to your neighbor David.
Thi Herren har nu gjort saaledes, som han sagde ved mig, og Herren har revet Riget af din Haand og givet David din Næste det,
18 because you did not listen to the voice of the Lord, and did not execute his fierce anger upon Amalec, therefore the Lord has done this thing to you this day.
fordi du ikke adlød Herrens Røst og ikke fuldbyrdede hans strenge Vrede imod Amalek; derfor har Herren gjort denne Gerning imod dig paa denne Dag.
19 And the Lord shall deliver Israel with you into the hands of the Philistines, and to-morrow you and your sons with you shall fall, and the Lord shall deliver the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.
Og Herren skal endog give Israel tillige med dig i Filisternes Haand, og du og dine Sønner skulle være hos mig i Morgen; Herren skal endog give Israels Lejre i Filisternes Haand.
20 And Saul instantly fell at his full length upon the earth, and was greatly afraid because of the words of Samuel; and there was no longer any strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all that day, and all that night.
Da faldt Saul hasteligen til Jorden, saa lang som han var, og frygtede saare for Samuels Ord; der var heller ingen Kraft i ham, thi han havde ikke smagt Brød den ganske Dag og den ganske Nat.
21 And the woman went in to Saul, and saw that he was greatly disquieted, and said to him, Behold now, your handmaid has listened to your voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have heard the words which you has spoken to me.
Og Kvinden kom hen til Saul og saa, at han var saare forfærdet; og hun sagde til ham: Se, din Tjenerinde adlød din Røst, og jeg satte mit Liv i min Haand og adlød dine Ord, som du talede til mig.
22 And now listen, I pray you, to the voice of your handmaid, and I will set before you a morsel of bread, and eat, and you shall be strengthened, for you will be going on your way.
Saa adlyd nu ogsaa, kære, din Tjenerindes Røst, saa vil jeg sætte en Mundfuld Brød for dig, og æd, at der kan være Kraft i dig, naar du gaar paa Vejen.
23 But he would not eat; so his servants and the woman constrained him, and he listened to their voice, and rose up from the earth, and sat upon a bench.
Men han vægrede sig og sagde: Jeg vil ikke æde; da nødte baade hans Tjenere og Kvinden ham, og han adlød deres Røst, og han stod op fra Jorden og satte sig paa Sengen.
24 And the woman had a fat heifer in the house; and she hasted and killed it; and she took meal and kneaded it, and baked unleavened cakes.
Og Kvinden havde en Fedekalv i Huset, og hun skyndte sig og slagtede den, og hun tog Mel og æltede og bagede deraf usyrede Kager.
25 And she brought [the meat] before Saul, and before his servants; and they ate, and rose up, and departed that night.
Og hun bar det frem for Saul og for hans Tjenere, og de aade, og de stode op og gik bort den samme Nat.
