1 Samuel 8
1 And it was when he was old Samuel and he made sons his judges for Israel.
Da Samuel var blevet gammel, satte han sine Sønner til Dommere over Israel;
2 And it was [the] name of son his the firstborn Joel and [the] name of second his [was] Abijah judges in Beer Sheba.
hans førstefødte Søn hed Joel og hans anden Søn Abija; de dømte i Be'ersjeba.
3 And not they walked sons his (in ways his *Q(K)*) and they turned aside after unjust gain and they took a bribe and they turned aside justice.
Men hans Sønner vandrede ikke i hans Spor; de lod sig lede af egen Fordel, tog imod Bestikkelse og bøjede Retten.
4 And they gathered together all [the] elders of Israel and they came to Samuel Ramah towards.
Da kom alle Israels Ældste sammen og begav sig til Samuel i Rama
5 And they said to him here! you you have become old and sons your not they have walked in ways your now appoint! for us a king to judge us like all the nations.
og sagde til ham: »Se, du er blevet gammel, og dine Sønner vandrer ikke i dit Spor. Sæt derfor en Konge over os til at dømme os, ligesom alle de andre Folk har det!«
6 And it was displeasing the matter in [the] eyes of Samuel just when they said give! to us a king to judge us and he prayed Samuel to Yahweh.
Men det vakte Samuels Mishag, at de sagde: »Giv os en Konge, som kan dømme os!« Og Samuel bad til HERREN.
7 And he said Yahweh to Samuel listen to [the] voice of the people to all what they will say to you for not you they have rejected for me they have rejected from reigning over them.
Da sagde HERREN til Samuel: »Ret dig i et og alt efter, hvad Folket siger, thi det er ikke dig, de vrager, men det er mig, de vrager som deres Konge.
8 According to all the deeds which they have done from [the] day brought up I them from Egypt and until the day this and they have forsaken me and they have served gods other so they [are] doing also to you.
Ganske som de har handlet imod mig, lige siden jeg førte dem ud af Ægypten og indtil denne Dag, idet de forlod mig og dyrkede andre Guder, saaledes handler de ogsaa imod dig.
9 And now listen to voice their nevertheless for certainly you will warn them and you will tell to them [the] right[s] of the king who he will reign over them.
Men ret dig nu efter dem; dog skal du indtrængende advare dem og lade dem vide, hvad Ret den Konge skal have, som skal herske over dem!«
10 And he spoke Samuel all [the] words of Yahweh to the people who were asking from with him a king.
Saa forebragte Samuel Folket, som krævede en Konge af ham, alle HERRENS Ord
11 And he said this it will be [the] right[s] of the king who he will reign over you sons your he will take and he will appoint [them] for himself in chariot[s] his and among horsemen his and they will run before chariot his.
og sagde: »Denne Ret skal den Konge have, som skal herske over eder: Eders Sønner skal han tage og sætte ved sin Vogn og sine Heste, saa de maa løbe foran hans Vogn,
12 And to appoint [them] for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties and to plow plowing his and to harvest harvest his and to make [the] weapons of warfare his and [the] equipment of chariotry his.
og sætte dem til Tusindførere og Halvhundredførere og til at pløje og høste for ham og lave hans Krigsredskaber og Vogntøj.
13 And daughters your he will take to perfumers and to cooks and to bakers.
Eders Døtre skal han tage til at blande Salver, koge og bage.
14 And fields your and vineyards your and olive groves your good he will take and he will give [them] to servants his.
De bedste af eders Marker, Vingaarde og Oliventræer skal han tage og give sine Folk.
15 And seed your and vineyards your he will take a tenth and he will give [them] to officials his and to servants his.
Af eders Sæd og Vinhøst skal han tage Tiende og give sine Hofmænd og Tjenere.
16 And [male] servants your and female servants your and young men your good and donkeys your he will take and he will use [them] for work his.
De bedste af eders Trælle og Trælkvinder, det bedste af eders Hornkvæg og Æsler skal han tage og bruge til sit eget Arbejde.
17 Flock[s] your he will take a tenth and you you will become of him servants.
Af eders Smaakvæg skal han tage Tiende; og I selv skal blive hans Trælle.
18 And you will cry out in the day that because of king your whom you have chosen for yourselves and not he will answer Yahweh you in the day that.
Og naar I da til den Tid klager over eders Konge, som I har valgt eder, saa vil HERREN ikke bønhøre eder!«
19 And they refused the people to listen to [the] voice of Samuel and they said No! for except a king he will be over us.
Folket vilde dog ikke rette sig efter Samuel, men sagde: »Nej, en Konge vil vi have over os,
20 And we will be also we like all the nations and he will judge us king our and he will go out before us and he will fight battles our.
vi vil have det som alle de andre Folk; vor Konge skal dømme os og drage ud i Spidsen for os og føre vore Krige!«
21 And he heard Samuel all [the] words of the people and he spoke them in [the] ears of Yahweh.
Da Samuel havde hørt alle Folkets Ord, forebragte han HERREN dem;
22 And he said Yahweh to Samuel listen to voice their and you will make king for them a king and he said Samuel to [the] people of Israel go each man to own city his.
og HERREN sagde til Samuel: »Ret dig efter dem og sæt en Konge over dem!« Da sagde Samuel til Israels Mænd: »Gaa hjem, hver til sin By!«
