1 Samuel 10
1 Then Samuel took the vial of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said, "Has not the LORD anointed you to be ruler over his people Israel? And you shall rule over the people of the LORD, and you shall save them out of the hand of their enemies all around. And this shall be the sign to you that the LORD has anointed you to be ruler over his inheritance.
So tok Samuel oljeflaska og slo olje på hovudet hans, kysste honom og sagde: «No hev Herren salva deg til fyrste yver arvluten sin.
2 When you have departed from me today, then you shall find two men by Rachel's tomb, in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will tell you, 'The donkeys which you went to seek have been found; and look, your father has stopped caring about the donkeys, and is anxious for you, saying, "What shall I do about my son?"'
Når du gjeng frå meg, kjem du til å møta tvo menner attmed Rakel-gravi, ved landskilet mot Benjamin ved Selsah. Dei skal segja med deg: «Asnorne du leita etter, er attfunne; far din kjem difor ikkje i hug asnorne meir; men han er illhuga for dykk og segjer: «Kva skal eg gjera for son min?»»
3 Then you will go on further from there and you will come to the oak of Tabor, and three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you. One will be carrying three young goats, and another carrying three containers of bread, and another carrying a container of wine.
Når du heldt fram derifrå og kjem til Taboreiki, vil du der møta tri menner som er på veg upp til Gud i Betel; ein med tri kid, ein med tri brødleivar og ein med ei vinhit.
4 And they will greet you and give you two wave offerings of bread, which you shall accept from their hand.
Dei helsar deg heil og sæl og gjev deg tvo brød, og du skal taka imot det dei gjev deg.
5 After that you shall come to Gibeath Elohim, where the Philistine garrison is. And it shall happen, when you have come there to the city, that you shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with harps, and tambourines, and flutes, and lyres before them, and they will be prophesying.
Deretter kjem du til Guds Gibea, der som filistarvakti held seg. Og når du kjem inn der i byen, råkar du på ein profetflokk som kjem ned frå offerhaugen i profetisk eldhug med harpa, trumma, fløyta og cither.
6 And the Spirit of the LORD will come mightily on you, and you shall prophesy with them, and shall be transformed into a different person.
Og Herrens ande skal koma yver deg, so du og kjem i profetisk uppgløding liksom dei. Og du skal verta ein annan mann.
7 And let it be, when these signs have come to you, that you do as the occasion demands, for God is with you.
Når du ser desse jarteigner ovra seg, so må du gjera det som fyre fell; for Gud er med deg.
8 You shall go down before me to Gilgal; and look, I will come down to you, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: you shall wait seven days, until I come to you, and show you what you shall do."
So må du ganga ned fyre meg til Gilgal; og der skal eg koma ned til deg og ofra brennoffer og takkoffer. Sju dagar skal du drygja, til dess eg kjem og segjer deg kva du skal gjera.»
9 When he had turned his back to leave Samuel, God changed his heart, and all these signs came to pass that day.
Då han no vende seg og gjekk frå Samuel; let Gud honom få ein annan hug. Og alle desse jartegnerne kom, same dagen.
10 And he went from there to Gibeah, and look, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily on him, and he prophesied among them.
Då dei kom til Gibea, møtte han ein profetflokk, og Guds ande kom yver honom, so han kom i profetisk eldhug midt imillom deim.
11 It happened, when all who knew him before saw that, look, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, "What is this that has come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"
Då no alle som kjende honom frå fyrr, fekk sjå honom i profetisk eldhug liksom profetarne, sagde dei seg imillom: «Kva er det som kjem åt son til Kis? Er Saul og millom profetarne?»
12 One of the same place answered, "Who is their father?" Therefore it became a proverb, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
Ein mann der i grendi svara: «Kven er då deira far?» Av dette kom det ordtaket: «Er Saul og millom profetarne?»
13 And when he had finished prophesying, and went home,
Då eldhugen seig av honom, gjekk han upp på offerhaugen.
14 then his uncle said to him and to his servant, "Where did you go?" And he said, "To seek the donkeys. When we saw that they were not found, we went to Samuel."
Då spurde farbror åt Saul honom og drengen hans: «Kvar hev de vore?» Han svara: «På leit etter asnorne. Då me såg dei ingen stad var å finna, kom me til Samuel.»
15 Saul's uncle said, "Please tell me what Samuel said to you."
Farbroren sagde: «Fortel meg kva Samuel sagde med dykk!»
16 Saul said to his uncle, "He told us plainly that the donkeys were found." But concerning the matter of the kingdom he did not tell him.
Saul svara: «Han sagde med oss at asnorne var attfunne.» Men det Samuel hadde sagt um kongedømet, nemnde han ikkje med honom.
17 Samuel called the people together to the LORD to Mizpah;
Samuel stemnde folket saman til Herren i Mispa.
18 and he said to the children of Israel, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you:'
Og han sagde til Israels-borni: «So segjer Herren, Israels Gud: «Eg hev ført Israel upp frå Egyptarland, eg frelste dykk frå egyptarmagti og frå alle dei kongeriki som trengde dykk.
19 but you have this day rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said, 'No. Set a king over us.' Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands."
Men no hev de vanda dykkar Gud, som frelste dykk ut or alle ulukkor og trengslor, og det segjer til honom: «Set ein konge yver oss!» So stig då fram for Herren etter dykkar ættar og ættgreiner.»»
20 So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
So let Samuel alle Israels ætter stiga fram. Luten fall på Benjamins-ætti.
21 He brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families, and the family of the Matrites was taken. And he brought the family of the Matrites near man by man, and Saul the son of Kish was taken. But when they looked for him, he could not be found.
Då so Benjamins-ætti gjekk fram etter ættgreinerne sine, fall luten på Matri-greini; so fall han på Saul, Kis-sonen. Men då dei leita etter honom, var han ikkje å finna.
22 Therefore they asked of the LORD further, "Is there a man yet to come here?" The LORD answered, "Look, he has hidden himself among the baggage."
Dei spurde då Herren ei venda til: «Er det endå ein mann her?» Herren svara: «Han hev løynt seg millom ferdagodset.»
23 They ran and fetched him there; and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
Dei sprang dit og henta honom. Og då han steig fram millom folket, var han hovudet høgre enn alle dei hine.
24 Samuel said to all the people, "You see him whom the LORD has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people?" All the people shouted, and said, "Let the king live."
Samuel sagde til folket: «Her ser de den som Herren hev valt ut; det finst ingen maken hans i heile folket.» Då sette heile folket i med fagnadrop: «Live kongen!»
25 Then Samuel told the people the regulations of the kingdom, and wrote it on a scroll, and laid it up before the LORD. Samuel sent all the people away, every man went to his place
Samuel kunngjorde folket kongelovi, og rita henne i ei bok, som han lagde ned framfor Herren. So let Samuel heile folket fara heim att.
26 Saul also went to his house to Gibeah; and there went with him the valient men, whose hearts the LORD had touched.
Saul gjekk ogso heim til Gibea. Og med honom fylgde ein flokk djerve karar, som var gripne i hjarta av Gud.
27 But certain worthless fellows said, "How shall this man save us?" So they despised him, and brought him no present. Now Nahash, king of the Ammonites, was severely oppressing the Gadites and the Reubenites. He put out the right eye of all of them, and he would not allow anyone to rescue Israel. Not one was left of the children of Israel beyond the Jordan whose right eye Nahash, king of the Ammonites, did not put out, except for seven thousand men who had escaped from the Ammonites and went to Jabesh Gilead.
Men nokre illmenne sagde: «Kva hjelp kann denne mannen gjeva oss?» Dei vanvyrde honom og bar ingi hyllingsgåva til honom. Men han læst som han inkje gådde.
