1 Samuel 10
1 Then Samuel took the vial of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said, "Has not YHWH anointed you to be ruler over his people Israel? And you shall rule over the people of YHWH, and you shall save them out of the hand of their enemies all around. And this shall be the sign to you that YHWH has anointed you to be ruler over his inheritance.
Og Samuel tog en Oliekrukke og øste paa hans Hoved og kyssede ham og sagde: Mon det ikke være saa, at Herren har salvet dig til en Fyrste over hans Arv?
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?"'
Naar du gaar fra mig i Dag, da skal du finde to Mænd ved Rakels Grav i Benjamins Landemærke i Zelza; og de skulle sige til dig: De Aseninder ere fundne, som du gik at lede efter, og se, din Fader har ladet Sagen om Aseninderne fare og er bekymret for eder og siger: Hvad skal jeg gøre for min Søn?
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.
Og naar du gaar frem derfra og bedre frem og kommer til Thabors Lund, da skulle tre Mænd finde dig der, som gaa op til Gud i Guds Hus: En, som bærer tre Kid, og en, som bærer tre hele Brød, og en, som bærer en Flaske Vin.
4 And they will greet you and give you two wave offerings of bread, which you shall accept from their hand.
Og de skulle hilse dig og give dig to Brød, og du skal annamme dem af deres Haand.
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.
Derefter skal du komme til Guds Høj, hvor Filisternes Besætninger ere; og det skal ske, naar du kommer der til Staden, da skal du møde en Hob Profeter, som komme ned fra Højen, og foran dem skal være Salter og Tromme og Pibe og Harpe, og de skulle profetere.
6 And the Spirit of YHWH will come mightily on you, and you shall prophesy with them, and shall be transformed into a different person.
Og Herrens Aand skal komme heftig over dig, at du skal profetere med dem; og du skal omskiftes til en anden Mand.
7 And let it be, when these signs have come to you, that you do as the occasion demands, for God is with you.
Og det skal ske, naar disse Tegn indtræffe for dig, saa skal du udføre, hvad du lægger Haand paa; thi Gud er med dig.
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."
Og du skal gaa ned for mit Ansigt til Gilgal, og se, jeg vil komme ned til dig til at ofre Brændoffer og at slagte Takofre; syv Dage skal du bie, indtil jeg kommer til dig, saa vil jeg lade dig vide, hvad du skal gøre.
9 When he had turned his back to leave Samuel, God changed his heart, and all these signs came to pass that day.
Og det skete, der han vendte Ryggen for at gaa fra Samuel, da gav Gud ham et helt andet Hjerte; og alle disse Ting indtraf samme Dag.
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.
Og de kom derhen til Højen, se, da kom en Hob Profeter imod ham, og Guds Aand kom heftig øver ham, og han profeterede midt iblandt dem.
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?"
Og det skete, der alle de, som kendte ham tilforn, saa det, og se, han profeterede med Profeterne, da sagde Folket, hver til sin Næste: Hvad er det, som er Kis' Søn vederfaret? er og Saul iblandt Profeterne?
12 One of the same place answered, "Who is their father?" Therefore it became a proverb, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
Da svarede en Mand derfra og sagde: Hvo er dog deres Fader? Derfor blev det til et Ordsprog: Er og Saul iblandt Profeterne?
13 And when he had finished prophesying, and went home,
Der han havde holdt op med at profetere, da kom han til Højen.
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."
Og Sauls Farbroder sagde til ham og til hans Dreng: Hvor gik I hen? Og han sagde: At lede efter Aseninderne, og der vi saa, at de ikke vare nogensteds, kom vi til Samuel.
15 Saul's uncle said, "Please tell me what Samuel said to you."
Da sagde Sauls Farbroder: Kære, kundgør mig, hvad sagde Samuel til eder?
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.
Og Saul svarede sin Farbroder: Han gav os til Kende, at Aseninderne vare fundne; men Ordet om Kongedømmet, som Samuel havde sagt, tilkendegav han ham ikke.
17 Samuel called the people together to YHWH to Mizpah;
Og Samuel lod Folket kalde til Hobe til Herren i Mizpa.
18 and he said to the children of Israel, "Thus says YHWH, 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 Børn: Saa sagde Herren Israels Gud: Jeg førte Israel op af Ægypten, og jeg friede eder af Ægypternes Haand og af alle de Rigers Haand, som fortrykte eder.
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 YHWH by your tribes, and by your thousands."
Men I have i Dag forkastet eders Gud, ham, som frelste eder af alt eders onde og eders Trængsler, og I sagde til ham: Du skal sætte en Konge over os; og nu stiller eder frem for Herrens Ansigt efter eders Stammer og efter eders Tusinder.
20 So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
Og Samuel lod alle Israels Stammer komme frem, da blev Benjamins Stamme ramt.
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.
Der han lod Benjamins Stamme komme frem efter dens Slægter, da blev Matris Slægt ramt; og Saul, Kis' Søn blev ramt; og de ledte efter ham, men han fandtes ikke.
22 Therefore they asked of YHWH further, "Is there a man yet to come here?" YHWH answered, "Look, he has hidden himself among the baggage."
Da adspurgte de Herren ydermere: Kommer der endnu Nogen herhid? Og Herren sagde: Se, han er skjult ved Tøjet.
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.
Da løb de og hentede ham derfra, og han stillede sig midt iblandt Folket; og han var højere end alt Folket fra sin Skulder og derover.
24 Samuel said to all the people, "You see him whom YHWH has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people?" All the people shouted, and said, "Let the king live."
Og Samuel sagde til alt Folket: Ser I den, som Herren har udvalgt? thi ingen er som han iblandt alt Folket. Da raabte alt Folket og sagde: Kongen leve!
25 Then Samuel told the people the regulations of the kingdom, and wrote it on a scroll, and laid it up before YHWH. Samuel sent all the people away, every man went to his place
Og Samuel talede til Folket om Kongedømmets Ret og skrev den i en Bog og lod den blive for Herrens Ansigt; saa lod Samuel alt Folket fare, hver til sit Hus.
26 Saul also went to his house to Gibeah; and there went with him the valient men, whose hearts YHWH had touched.
Og Saul gik ogsaa til sit Hus til Gibea; og de af Skaren, hvis Hjerte Gud rørte, gik med ham.
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 nogle Belials Børn sagde: Hvad! skal denne frelse os? Og de foragtede ham og bragte ham ikke Skænk; men han var, som han havde været døv.
