1 Samuel 11
1 And he went up Nahash the Ammonite and he encamped on Jabesh Gilead and they said all [the] men of Jabesh to Nahash make to us a covenant and we will serve you.
Ammoniten Nahas drog upp og kringsette Jabes i Gilead. Då sagde alle Jabes-buarne med Nahas: «Gjer forlik med oss, so skal me tena deg!»
2 And he said to them Nahash the Ammonite by this I will make to you by gouging out of you every eye of [the] right [side] and I will make it a reproach on all Israel.
Men ammoniten Nahas svara deim: «Ja, på det vilkåret gjer eg forlik med dykk, at eg sting ut høgre auga på dykk alle, til skjemsla for heile Israel.»
3 And they said to him [the] elders of Jabesh refrain to us seven days so let us send messengers in all [the] territory of Israel and if there not [is one who] delivers us and we will come out to you.
Styresmennerne i Jabes sagde til honom: «Gjev oss sju dagar frest, so me fær skikka bod yver heile Israelsriket. Er det so ingen som bergar oss, so skal me gjeva oss yver til deg.»
4 And they came the messengers Gibeah of Saul and they spoke the words in [the] ears of the people and they lifted up all the people voice their and they wept.
Då sendebodi kom til Sauls Gibea og lagde fram saki fram for folket, brast heile folket i gråt.
5 And there! Saul [was] coming after the cattle from the field and he said Saul what? [is] to the people that they are weeping and they recounted to him [the] words of [the] men of Jabesh.
Saul kom nett heim frå åkeren attum uksarne. Han spør: «Kva hev kome åt folket, etter di dei græt?» Dei fortalde honom det som Jabes-buarne hadde sagt.
6 And it rushed [the] spirit of God on Saul (just as heard he *Q(K)*) the words these and it burned anger his exceedingly.
Då Saul høyrde dette, kom Guds ande yver honom; harmen loga upp i honom;
7 And he took a pair of ox[en] and he cut in pieces it and he sent [them] in all [the] territory of Israel by [the] hand of the messengers - saying [the one] who not he [is] coming out after Saul and after Samuel thus it will be done to ox[en] his and it fell [the] dread of Yahweh on the people and they came out like a man one.
og han tok tvo uksar, lema deim sund og sende stykki rundt i heile Israelsriket med sendebod som sagde: «Den som ikkje fylgjer Saul og Samuel, hans uksar skal fara soleis.» Ei rædsla frå Herren fall på heile folket. Og ut drog dei, alle som ein.
8 And he mustered them at Bezek and they were [the] people of Israel three hundred thousand and [the] man of Judah [was] thirty thousand.
Han mynstra heren i Bezek; Israels-sønerne talde tri hundrad tusund, og Juda-folki tretti tusund.
9 And they said to the messengers who had come thus you will say! to [the] man of Jabesh Gilead tomorrow it will belong to you deliverance (like [the] heat of *Q(K)*) the sun and they went the messengers and they told to [the] men of Jabesh and they were glad.
Dei sagde med sendemennerne som var komne: «So skal det segja med Jabes-buarne i Gilead: «I morgon ved høgstedags leite skal de få hjelp!»» Då sendemennerne kom heim og fortalde det til Jabes-buarne, vart dei glade.
10 And they said [the] men of Jabesh tomorrow will we go out to you and you will do to us according to all the good in view your.
Og dei sagde til Nahas: «I morgon skal me gjeva oss yver til dykk; då fær de gjera med oss som de tykkjer.»
11 And it was from [the] next day and he made Saul the people three companies and they went in [the] midst of the camp in [the] watch of the morning and they struck down Ammon until [the] heat of the day and it was those [who] remained and they were scattered and not they remained among them two together.
Morgonen etter skifte Saul folket i tri flokkar. Og dei braut seg inn i lægret fyrstundes i otta, og hogg ned ammonitarne frå morgonen til høgstedags leite. Dei som slapp undan, vart spreidde til alle kantar, so det vart ikkje att tvo i lag.
12 And it said the people to Samuel who? [is] the [one who] said Saul will he reign? over us deliver up the men so we may put to death them.
Då sagde folket med Samuel: «Kven var det som sagde: «Skal Saul vera konge yver oss?» Lat oss få tak i dei kararne, so vil me drepa deim.»
13 And he said Saul not he will be put to death anyone on the day this for this day he has done Yahweh deliverance in Israel.
Men Saul sagde: «Ingen skal drepast i dag. For i dag hev Herren gjeve Israel siger.»
14 And he said Samuel to the people come so let us go Gilgal so we may renew there the kingship.
Og Samuel sagde med folket: «Kom, lat oss ganga til Gilgal og nya upp kongedømet der!»
15 And they went all the people Gilgal and they made king there Saul before Yahweh in Gilgal and they sacrificed there sacrifices peace offerings before Yahweh and he rejoiced there Saul and all [the] men of Israel up to muchness.
Og heile folket gjekk til Gilgal, og gjorde Saul til konge der framfor Herren i Gilgal, og ofra takkoffer framfor Herren. Og alle Israels-mennerne gledde seg med ovstor fagnad.
