1 Samuel 10
1 And Samuel takes the vial of the oil, and pours [it] on his head, and kisses him, and says, “Is it not because YHWH has appointed you over His inheritance for leader?
Da tog Samuel Olieflasken og udgød Olien over hans Hoved, kyssede ham og sagde: "Har HERREN ikke salvet dig til Fyrste over sit Folk Israel? Du skal herske over HERRENs Folk og frelse det fra dets Fjender. Og dette skal være dig Tegnet på, at HERREN har salvet dig til Fyrste over sin Arv:
2 In your going from me today—then you have found two men by the grave of Rachel, in the border of Benjamin, at Zelzah, and they have said to you, The donkeys have been found which you have gone to seek; and behold, your father has left the matter of the donkeys, and has sorrowed for you, saying, What do I do for my son?
Når du i Dag går fra mig, skal du træffe to Mænd ved Rakels Grav ved Benjamins Grænse i Zelza, og de skal sige til dig: Æslerne, du gik ud at lede efter, er fundet; dem har din Fader slået af Tanke, men nu er han urolig for eder og siger: Hvad skal jeg gøre for min Søn?
3 And you have passed on there, and beyond, and have come to the oak of Tabor, and three men going up to God to Beth-El have found you there, one carrying three kids, and one carrying three cakes of bread, and one carrying a bottle of wine,
Og når du er gået et Stykke længere frem og kommer til Taboregen, skal du træffe tre Mænd, som er på Vej op til Gud i Betel; den ene bærer tre Kid, den anden tre Brødkager og den tredje en Dunk Vin;
4 and they have asked of your welfare, and given two loaves to you, and you have received from their hand.
de skal hilse på dig og give dig to Brødkager, som du skal tage imod.
5 Afterward you come to the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines [is], and it comes to pass, at your coming in there to the city, that you have met a band of prophets coming down from the high place, and before them stringed instrument, and tambourine, and pipe, and harp, and they are prophesying;
Derefter kommer du til Guds Gibea, hvor Filisternes Foged bor; og når du kommer hen til Byen, vil du støde på en Flok Profeter, som kommer ned fra Offerhøjen i profetisk Henrykkelse til Harpers, Paukers, Fløjters og Citres Klang;
6 and the Spirit of YHWH has prospered over you, and you have prophesied with them, and have turned into a [new] man;
så vil HERRENs Ånd overvælde dig, så du falder i profetisk Henrykkelse sammen med dem, og du skal blive til et andet Menneske.
7 and it has been, when these signs come to you—do for yourself as your hand finds, for God [is] with you.
Når disse Tegn indtræffer for dig, kan du trygt gøre, hvad der falder for; thi Gud er med dig.
8 And you have gone down before me to Gilgal, and behold, I am going down to you, to cause burnt-offerings to ascend, to sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings; you wait [for] seven days until my coming to you, and I have made known to you that which you do.”
Og du skal gå i Forvejen ned til Gilgal; så kommer jeg ned til dig for at bringe Brændofre og ofre Takofre. Syv Dage skal du vente, til jeg kommer og kundgør dig, hvad du skal gøre!"
9 And it has been, at his turning his shoulder to go from Samuel, that God turns to him another heart, and all these signs come on that day,
Da han derpå vendte sig for at gå bort fra Samuel, gav Gud ham et helt andet Hjerte, og alle disse Tegn indtraf samme Dag.
10 and they come in there to the height, and behold, a band of prophets [is there] to meet him, and the Spirit of God prospers over him, and he prophesies in their midst.
Da han kom hen til Gibea, se, da kom en Flok Profeter ham i Møde, og Guds Ånd overvældede ham, og han faldt i profetisk Henrykkelse midt iblandt dem.
11 And it comes to pass, all knowing him before, see, and behold, he has prophesied with prophets, and the people say to one another, “What [is] this [that] has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”
Og da alle, som kendte ham fra tidligere Tid, så ham i profetisk Henrykkelse sammen med Profeterne, sagde de til hverandre: "Hvad går der af Kisjs Søn? Er også Saul iblandt Profeterne?"
12 And a man there answers and says, “And who [is] their father?” Therefore it has been for an allegory, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
Så sagde en der fra Stedet: "Hvem er vel deres Fader?" Derfor blev det et Mundheld: "Er også Saul iblandt Profeterne?"
13 And he ceases from prophesying, and comes to the high place,
Da hans profetiske Henrykkelse var ovre, gik han til Gibea.
14 and the uncle of Saul says to him, and to his young man, “To where did you go?” And he says, “To seek the donkeys; and we see that they are not, and we come to Samuel.”
Sauls Farbroder spurgte da ham og Karlen: "Hvor har I været henne?" Han svarede: "Ude at lede efter Æslerne; og da vi ikke fandt dem, gik vi hen til Samuel."
15 And the uncle of Saul says, “Please declare to me what Samuel said to you.”
Da sagde Sauls Farbroder: "Fortæl mig, hvad Samuel sagde til eder!"
16 And Saul says to his uncle, “He certainly declared to us that the donkeys were found”; and of the matter of the kingdom he has not declared to him that which Samuel said.
Saul svarede: "Han fortalte os, at Æslerne var fundet!" Men hvad Samuel havde sagt om Kongedømmet, fortalte han ham ikke.
17 And Samuel calls the people to YHWH to Mizpeh,
Derpå stævnede Samuel Folket sammen hos HERREN i Mizpa;
18 and says to the sons of Israel, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: I have brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I deliver you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms who are oppressing you;
og han sagde til Israeliterne: "Så siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Jeg førte Israel op fra Ægypten og frelste eder af Ægypternes Hånd og fra alle de Riger, som plagede eder.
19 and you have rejected your God today, who [is] Himself your Savior out of all your evils and your distresses, and you say, No, but you set a king over us; and now, station yourselves before YHWH, by your tribes, and by your thousands.”
Men nu vrager I eders Gud, som var eders Frelser i alle eders Ulykker og Trængsler, og siger: Nej, en Konge skal du sætte over os! Så træd nu frem for HERRENs Åsyn Stamme for Stamme og Slægt for Slægt!"
20 And Samuel brings all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin is captured,
Derpå lod Samuel alle Israels Stammer træde frem, og Loddet ramte Benjamins Stamme.
21 and he brings the tribe of Benjamin near by its families, and the family of Matri is captured, and Saul son of Kish is captured, and they seek him, and he has not been found.
Så lod han Benjamins Stamme træde frem Slægt for Slægt, og Matris Slægt ramtes. Så lod han Matris Slægt træde frem Mand for Mand, og Saul, Kisjs Søn, ramtes. Men da man ledte efter ham, var han ikke til at finde.
22 And they ask again of YHWH, “Has the man come here yet?” And YHWH says, “Behold, he has been hidden near the vessels.”
Da adspurgte de på ny HERREN: "Er Manden her?" Og HERREN svarede: "Se, han holder sig skjult ved Trosset."
23 And they run and bring him there, and he stationed himself in the midst of the people, and he is higher than any of the people from his shoulder and upward.
Så løb de hen og hentede ham der; og da han trådte ind imellem Folket, var han et Hoved højere end alt Folket.
24 And Samuel says to all the people, “Have you seen him on whom YHWH has fixed, for there is none like him among all the people?” And all the people shout, and say, “Let the king live!”
Da sagde Samuel til hele Folket: "Ser I ham, HERREN har udvalgt? Hans Lige findes ikke i alt Folket!" Og hele Folket brød ud i Jubelskrig og råbte: "Kongen leve!"
25 And Samuel speaks to the people the right of the kingdom, and writes in a scroll, and places [it] before YHWH; and Samuel sends all the people away, each to his house.
Derpå fremsagde Samuel Kongedømmets Ret for Folket og optegnede den i en Bog, som han lagde hen for HERRENs Åsyn. Så lod Samuel hele Folket gå hver til sit:
26 And Saul has also gone to his house, to Gibeah, and the force goes with him whose heart God has touched;
også Saul gik til sit Hjem i Gibea, og de tapre Mænd, hvis Hjerte Gud rørte, gik med ham.
27 and the sons of worthlessness have said, “How can this one save us?” And they despise him, and have not brought a present to him; and he is as one being deaf.
Men nogle Niddinger sagde: "Hvor skulde denne kunne hjælpe os?" Og de ringeagtede ham og bragte ham ingen Hyldingsgave. Men han var, som han var døv.
