1 Samuel 14
1 One day, Jonathan said to the young man who carried his weapons, “Come with me; we will go over to where the Philistia soldiers have put up their tents.” [So they went], but Jonathan did not tell his father [what they were going to do].
Og det hændte sig en Dag, at Jonathan, Sauls Søn, sagde til den unge Karl, som bar hans Vaaben: Gak med, saa ville vi gaa over til Filisternes Besætning, som er paa hin Side; og han gav sin Fader det ikke til Kende.
2 On that day, Saul and the 600 soldiers who were with him were sitting around a pomegranate tree at a place where the people threshed grain, near Gibeah.
Men Saul blev ved det yderste af Gibea under Granattræet, som var i Migron; og det Folk, som var hos ham, var ved seks Hundrede Mand.
3 Ahijah the priest was also there. He was wearing the sacred vest. Ahijah was the son of Ahitub, who was a brother of Ichabod. Ichabod and Ahitub were the sons of Phinehas, who was the son of Eli, who had been Yahweh’s priest at Shiloh. No one knew that Jonathan had left [the Israeli camp].
Og Ahia, Ahitobs Søn, Ikabods Broder, som var en Søn af Pinehas, Elis Søn, Herrens Præst i Silo, bar Livkjortlen; men Folket vidste ikke, at Jonathan var gaaet bort.
4 Jonathan planned that he and the young man would go through a narrow (pass/place between two cliffs) to get to where the Philistia army was. The cliff on one side of the pass was named Bozez, and the other cliff was named Seneh.
Og imellem Kløftvejene, hvor Jonathan søgte at gaa over mod Filisternes Besætning, var en spids Klippe paa denne Side og en spids Klippe paa hin Side, og den enes Navn var Bozez og den andens Navn Sene.
5 One cliff faced north toward Micmash, and the cliff on the other side faced south toward Geba [town].
Den ene Spids stod Norden imod Mikmas og den anden Sønden imod Geba.
6 Jonathan said to the young man who carried his weapons, “Come with me. We will go to where those (pagans/people who do not believe in Yahweh) [MTY] have set up their tents. Perhaps Yahweh will help us. It does not matter whether we are only two men or many people; nothing can hinder Yahweh from enabling us to defeat them.”
Og Jonathan sagde til den unge Karl, som bar hans Vaaben: Kom, saa ville vi gaa over til disse uomskaarnes Besætning, maaske Herren udretter noget for os; thi hos Herren er intet til Hinder i at frelse ved mange eller ved faa.
7 The young man who was carrying Jonathan’s weapons said, “Do what you think is the best thing for us to do. I will help you.”
Og hans Vaabendrager sagde til ham: Gør alt det, som er i dit Hjerte; bøj af Vejen, se, jeg er med dig efter dit Hjerte.
8 Then Jonathan said, “Okay, come with me. We will cross the valley to where the Philistia army is, and allow them to see us.
Og Jonathan sagde: Se, vi gaa over til Mændene og lade os se af dem.
9 If they then say to us, ‘You two stay there until we come down to you,’ we will stay there and not go up to them.
Dersom de sige saaledes til os: Staar stille, indtil vi komme nær til eder, saa ville vi staa paa vort Sted og ikke gaa op til dem.
10 But if they say to us, ‘Come up here [and fight against] us,’ that will show us that Yahweh will enable us to defeat them. Then we will go up and fight them.”
Men dersom de sige saaledes: Kommer op til os, saa ville vi stige op; thi Herren har givet dem i vor Haand; og dette skal være os et Tegn.
11 When the two of them crossed the valley, the Philistia soldiers saw them coming. They said, “Look! The Hebrews are crawling out of the holes in which they have been hiding!”
Der de begge bleve sete af Filisternes Besætning, da sagde Filisterne: Se, Hebræerne ere udgangne af Hulerne, hvor de skjulte sig.
12 Then the Philistia soldiers who were closest to Jonathan and the young man who carried his weapons said, “Come up here, and we will teach you something [about how to fight] [IDM]!” Jonathan said to the young man who was with him, “Come behind me and climb up, because Yahweh is going to help us to defeat them!”
Og Mændene i Besætningen tiltalede Jonathan og hans Vaabendrager og sagde: Kommer op til os, saa ville vi lære eder noget. Da sagde Jonathan til sin Vaabendrager: Stig op efter mig; thi Herren har givet dem i Israels Haand.
13 So Jonathan climbed up, using his hands and his feet [because it was very steep]. The young man climbed up following him. As Jonathan climbed, he struck and killed many Philistia soldiers, and the young man who was with him killed many more as he followed behind Jonathan.
Og Jonathan steg op paa sine Hænder og paa sine Fødder og hans Vaabendrager efter ham; da faldt de for Jonathans Ansigt, og hans Vaabendrager slog ihjel efter ham.
14 In that first battle the two of them killed about 20 Philistia soldiers in an area that was about half an acre.
Og det første Slag, som Jonathan og hans Vaabendrager slog, var ved tyve Mand, paa omtrent den halve Længde af en Dags Pløjeland.
15 Then all the other Philistia soldiers, the ones in the camp and the ones who had been attacking the Israeli towns, ones who were out in the field much closer, panicked. Then God caused the ground to shake, and they all became terrified/very afraid.
Og der var en Forfærdelse i Lejren, paa Marken og iblandt alt Folket; Besætningen og den ødelæggende Skare bleve ogsaa forfærdede, ja, Landet skælvede; thi det var en Forfærdelse fra Gud.
16 Saul’s (lookouts/men who were watching to see if enemies were coming) were in Gibeah [town] in the land of the tribe of Benjamin. They saw that the soldiers of the Philistia army were running away in all directions.
Og Sauls Skildvagt i Gibea i Benjamin saa til, og se, Hoben splittedes og gik, og de stødte hverandre.
17 Saul [realized that some of his soldiers must have attacked the Philistia army. So he] said to the soldiers who were with him, “Check to see if any of our men are not here.” So they checked, and they found out that Jonathan and the man who carried his weapons were gone.
Da sagde Saul til Folket, som var hos ham: Tæller dog, og ser til, hvo der er gaaet bort fra os. Og de talte og se, Jonathan og hans Vaabendrager vare der ikke.
18 So Saul said to Ahijah [the Supreme Priest], “Bring the sacred vest here [and find out what we should do].” On that day Ahijah was wearing the sacred vest, going in front of the Israelis.
Da sagde Saul til Ahia: Lad Guds Ark komme hid; thi Guds Ark var paa den samme Dag hos Israels Børn.
19 But while Saul was talking to the priest, [he saw that] the Philistia soldiers were becoming more panicked/confused. So Saul said to Ahijah, “Take your hand down [from the sacred vest. Do not waste any more time using the marked stones in the vest to find out what Yahweh wants us to do.”]
Og det skete, der Saul endnu talede med Præsten, at det Bulder, som var i Filisternes Lejr, fik Fremgang og blev stort; da sagde Saul til Præsten: Lad kun være!
20 Then Saul gathered his men and they went toward the battle. They found that the Philistia soldiers were so confused that they were striking each other with their swords.
Og Saul og alt det Folk, som var hos ham, blev sammenkaldt, og de kom til Striden, og se, den enes Sværd var imod den andens, og der var en saare stor Forstyrrelse.
21 Before that, some of the Hebrew men had deserted their army and gone to join with the Philistia army. But now those men [revolted and] joined with Saul and Jonathan and the other Israeli soldiers.
Og de Hebræer, som havde været med Filisterne tilforn, og som vare dragne op med dem i Lejren trindt omkring, de kom ogsaa for at være med Israel, som var med Saul og Jonathan.
22 Some of the Israeli soldiers had previously run away and hidden in the mountains where the tribe of Ephraim lived. But when they heard that the Philistia soldiers were running away, they [came down and] joined the other Israeli soldiers and pursued the Philistia soldiers.
Og alle Israels Mænd, som havde skjult sig paa Efraims Bjerg, der de hørte, at Filisterne flyede, da satte de efter dem i Striden.
23 So Yahweh rescued the Israelis on that day. The Israeli soldiers continued to pursue their enemies beyond Beth-Aven [town].
Saa frelste Herren Israel paa den samme Dag, og Striden naaede forbi Beth-Aven.
24 Before Saul’s soldiers went to the battle, Saul declared to them solemnly, “I do not want any of you to eat any food before this evening, before we have defeated all our enemies. If anyone eats anything, [Yahweh] will curse/punish him.” So none of the Israeli soldiers ate any food, and they became faint/weak because they were very hungry.
Og Israels Mænd bleve haardt anstrengte paa den samme Dag; thi Saul havde besvoret Folket og sagt: Forbandet være den Mand, som æder noget Mad indtil Aftenen, at jeg kan faa mig hævnet paa mine Fjender; derfor smagte det ganske Folk ingen Mad.
25 The Israeli army went into the forest, and they found honeycombs on the ground, but they did not eat any honey.
Og Folket fra det ganske Land kom ind i Skoven; men der var Honning paa Marken.
26 They were afraid to eat any, because they had solemnly promised that they would not eat any food.
Og Folket kom ind i Skoven, se, da flød Honningen; og ingen førte sin Haand til sin Mund; thi Folket frygtede for Besværgelsen.
27 But Jonathan did not hear what his father commanded [because he had left the camp very early in the morning]. So [when he saw] a honeycomb, he dipped the end of his walking stick into it and ate some honey. After he ate the honey, he felt stronger.
Men Jonathan havde ikke hørt det, der hans Fader besvor Folket, men han udrakte det yderste af Kæppen, som han havde i sin Haand, og dyppede den i en Honningkage; og han førte sin Haand til sin Mund, og hans Øjne bleve klare.
28 But one of the Israeli soldiers saw him and said to him, “Your father solemnly declared to us that [Yahweh] would curse/punish anyone who ate any food today. So now we are [very tired and] weak from being hungry [because we obeyed him].”
Da svarede en Mand af Folket og sagde: Din Fader besvor Folket haardeligen og sagde: Forbandet være hver Mand, som æder nogen Mad i Dag. Og Folket var træt.
29 Jonathan exclaimed, “My father has caused trouble for all of us! See how refreshed/strong I am after eating a little honey!
Da sagde Jonathan: Min Fader har gjort Uret imod Landet; se, kære, mine Øjne ere blevne klare, fordi jeg smagte lidet af denne Honning.
30 If he had permitted all of us to eat from the food we took from our enemies while we were pursuing them, we would have been able to kill many more of their soldiers!”
Ja, gid Folket havde ædt i Dag af sine Fjenders Bytte, som de fandt; thi hidtil har Nederlaget ikke været meget stort paa Filisterne.
31 The Israelis pursued and killed Philistia soldiers all that day, from Micmash [town west] to Aijalon. But they continued to become weaker from being hungry.
Og de sloge Filisterne paa den Dag fra Mikmas indtil Ajalon, og Folket blev meget træt.
32 They had taken [many] sheep and cattle that the Philistia soldiers had abandoned. Now, because they were extremely hungry, they butchered some of those animals and ate the meat without draining the blood from the animals.
Og Folket tillavede, hvad de havde gjort til Bytte, og de toge Faar og Øksne og Kalve og slagtede paa Jorden, og Folket aad det med Blodet.
33 One of the soldiers told Saul, “Look! The men are sinning against Yahweh by eating meat that still has blood in it!” Saul replied [to the men who were near him], “They have disobeyed Yahweh! Roll a large stone over here!”
Da forkyndte de Saul det, og sagde: Se, Folket synder for Herren, at de æde det med Blodet, og han sagde: I have forsyndet eder, vælter nu en stor Sten hen til mig!
34 After they did that, he said to those men, “Go and tell all the soldiers that each of them must bring an ox or a sheep to me, and kill it here on this stone, [and drain the blood] before he eats any of the meat. They should not sin against Yahweh by eating meat [from some animal] without draining its blood.” So that night all the soldiers brought animals and slaughtered them there. Then Saul built an altar to [worship] Yahweh.
Og Saul sagde: Adspreder eder iblandt Folket og siger til dem: Fører hver sin Okse og hver sit Lam hid til mig, og slagter dem her og æder, og synder ikke imod Herren ved at æde med Blodet; da førte alt Folket hver sin Okse ved sin Haand derhen om Natten, og de slagtede der.
35 That was the first [time that he built an] altar for Yahweh.
Da byggede Saul Herren et Alter; det var det første Alter, han byggede Herren.
36 Then Saul said [to the Israeli soldiers], “Let’s pursue the Philistia soldiers tonight. We can attack them all night. We will not allow any of them to escape alive.” The Israeli soldiers answered, “We will do whatever you think is the best thing for us to do.” But the priest said, “We should ask Yahweh [what he thinks we should do].”
Og Saul sagde: Lader os drage ned efter Filisterne i Nat og gøre Bytte iblandt dem, indtil det bliver lys Morgen, saa at vi ikke lade en Mand af dem blive tilovers; og de sagde: Gør alt det, som er godt for dine Øjne; men Præsten sagde: Lader os her holde os nær til Gud.
37 So Saul asked God, “Should we pursue the Philistine soldiers? Will you enable us to defeat them?” But God did not answer Saul that day.
Og Saul adspurgte Gud: Skal jeg drage ned efter Filisterne? vil du give dem i Israels Haand? Men han svarede ham ikke paa den Dag.
38 Then Saul summoned all the leaders of his army. He said to them, “[I am sure that God has not answered me because] someone has sinned. We must find out what sin someone has committed.
Da sagde Saul: Kommer her hid, alle Folkets Øverster, og kender og ser, hvorved denne Synd i Dag er sket.
39 Yahweh has rescued us [from the Philistia army]. Just as certain as Yahweh lives, whoever has sinned must be executed. Even if it is my son Jonathan who has sinned, he must be executed.” [His men knew who was guilty], but none of them said anything [to Saul].
Thi saa vist som Herren lever, han, der frelser Israel! dersom det endog var Jonathan, min Søn, da skal han visseligen dø; og ingen svarede ham af alt Folket.
40 Then Saul said to all the Israeli soldiers, “You stand on one side. My son Jonathan and I will stand on the other side.” His men replied, “Do whatever you think is best.”
Og han sagde til al Israel: I skulle være paa den ene Side, men jeg og Jonathan, min Søn, vi ville være paa den anden Side; og Folket sagde til Saul: Gør det, som godt er for dine Øjne.
41 Then Saul prayed to Yahweh, the Israelis’ God, “Tell me who is guilty and who is not guilty.” Then the priest (cast lots/threw the stones that were marked), and they indicated that it was [either] Jonathan or Saul who was the guilty one, and that the other men were not guilty.
Og Saul sagde til Herren, Israels Gud: Lad Sandheden komme frem; og Jonathan og Saul blev ramt, men Folket gik fri.
42 Then Saul said to the priest, “Throw the stones again to indicate which of us two is guilty.” So he did, and the stones indicated that Jonathan was the guilty one.
Da sagde Saul: Kaster Lod imellem mig og imellem Jonathan, min Søn; da blev Jonathan ramt.
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done [that was wrong].” Jonathan replied, “I ate a little bit of honey. It was only a little bit that was on the end of my stick. Do I [deserve to be] executed [because of doing that]?”
Og Saul sagde til Jonathan: Giv mig til Kende, hvad du har gjort? Og Jonathan gav ham til Kende og sagde: Jeg smagte med det yderste af den Kæp, som er i min Haand, lidt Honning, se, her er jeg, skal jeg dø?
44 Saul replied, “Yes, you must be executed! I hope/wish that God will strike me and kill me if you are not executed for having done that!”
Da sagde Saul: Gud gøre mig nu og fremdeles saa og saa, du skal visseligen dø, Jonathan!
45 But the Israeli soldiers said to Saul, “Jonathan has won a great victory for all us Israelis. Should he be executed for eating some honey [RHQ]? Certainly not! Just as surely as Yahweh lives, we will not allow you to injure him in any manner [IDM], [because] today God helped Jonathan [to kill many soldiers of the Philistia army]!” So [by saying that] the Israeli soldiers rescued Jonathan, and he was not executed.
Men Folket sagde til Saul: Skulde Jonathan dø, som har bragt denne store Frelse i Israel? det være langt fra! Saa vist som Herren lever, skal der ikke falde et af hans Hovedhaar til Jorden, thi han har gjort dette paa denne Dag ved Gud; saa udfriede Folket Jonathan, at han ikke skulde dø.
46 Then Saul ordered his soldiers to stop pursuing the Philistia army, so the Philistia soldiers returned to their homes.
Da drog Saul op fra at jage efter Filisterne, og Filisterne gik til deres Sted.
47 After Saul became the ruler/king of the Israeli people, his army fought against their enemies in many areas. They fought against armies of the Moab people-group, the Ammon people-group, the Edom people-group, the kings of Zobah [city/area], and the Philistia people-group. Wherever the Israeli army fought, they defeated their enemies.
Og Saul havde taget Kongemagten over Israel; og han stred imod alle sine Fjender trindt omkring, imod Moabiterne og imod Ammons Børn og imod Edomiterne og imod Kongerne af Zoba og imod Filisterne, og hvor han vendte sig hen, revsede han dem.
48 Saul’s army fought bravely and defeated the [very tall] descendants of Amalek. His army rescued the Israelis from those who had (plundered/forcefully taken things from) them.
Og han gjorde mægtige Gerninger og slog Amalek og friede Israel af deres Haand, som havde plyndret dem.
49 Saul’s sons were Jonathan, Ishbosheth, and Malchishua. He also had two daughters, Merab and her younger sister Michal.
Og Sauls Sønner vare: Jonathan og Jisui og Malkisua, og hans to Døtres Navne vare, den førstefødtes Navn Merab, og den yngstes Navn Mikal.
50 Saul’s wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz. The commander of Saul’s army was Abner, who was the son of Saul’s uncle Ner.
Og Sauls Hustrus Navn var Ahinoam, Ahimaaz' Datter; og hans Stridshøvedsmands Navn var Abner, en Søn af Ner, Sauls Farbroder.
51 Saul’s father Kish and Abner’s father Ner were both sons of Abiel.
Og Kis, Sauls Fader, i lige Maade Ner, Abners Fader, var Abiels Søn.
52 All the time that Saul was alive, his army fought against the Philistia army. And whenever Saul saw a young man who was (brave/not afraid to fight) and strong, he forced him to join his army.
Og Krigen var haard imod Filisterne alle Sauls Dage; og hvor Saul saa en vældig Mand eller nogen duelig Mand, da drog han ham til sig.
