1 Samuel 2
1 Then Hannah prayed, saying, “I rejoice in [what] you, [, have done]. I am strong [MET] because I belong to you. I (laugh at/ridicule) my enemies, because you, Yahweh have rescued me [from being taunted by them].
Da bad Hanna og sagde: Mit Hjerte jubler over HERREN, mit Horn er løftet ved min Gud, min Mund vidt opladt mod mine Fjender, jeg glæder mig over din Frelse.
2 There is no one who is holy like you, Yahweh. There is no other god like you. There is no one like you, our God, who can protect us [as though you were putting us beneath] a huge rock [where we can hide from danger].
Der er ingen Hellig som HERREN, nej, der er ingen uden dig, der er ingen Klippe som vor Gud
3 [You people who oppose God], stop boasting! Yahweh is a God who knows [everything], and he will evaluate/judge everyone’s actions. So don’t speak so arrogantly!
Vær varsomme med eders store Ord, Frækhed undslippe ej eders Mund! Thi en vidende Gud er HERREN, og Gerninger vejes af ham.
4 Yahweh, you break the bows/weapons of mighty soldiers, and you give strength to those who stumble [because of being weak].
Heltes Bue er brudt, men segnende omgjorder sig med Kraft;
5 Many people who previously had plenty to eat, now have to work for other people [to earn money] to buy food, but many who were always hungry are not hungry any more. The woman who did not have any children before, now has given birth to many/seven children, and the woman who had many children before, now is very lonely [because they have all died].
mætte lader sig leje for Brød, men sultnes Slid hører op; den ufrugtbare føder syv, men den med de mange vansmægter.
6 Yahweh, you cause some people to die, and you restore some people who are almost dead. For some people, [it seems that they will soon] go to where the dead people are, but you cause them to become healthy again. (Sheol h7585)
HERREN døder, gør levende, fører ned i Dødsriget og fører op; (Sheol h7585)
7 Yahweh, you cause some people to be poor and you cause some people to be rich, you humble some people and you honor some people.
HERREN gør fattig, gør rig, han nedbøjer
8 [Sometimes] you lift poor people up so that they are no longer [despondent, sitting in the dust, ] or sitting on heaps of ashes; you cause them to sit next to princes; you cause them to sit on chairs/thrones where people who are highly honored sit. Yahweh, you are the one who laid the foundations of the earth, and you have set the whole world on those foundations.
han rejser ringe af Støvet, af Skarnet løfter han fattige for at bænke og give dem Ærespladsen. Thi HERRENs er Jordens Søjler, Jorderig bygged han på dem
9 You will protect your loyal/faithful people [SYN], but you will cause the wicked to die [EUP] and descend to the dark [place where dead people are]. We do not defeat [our enemies] by our own strength;
Han vogter sine frommes Skridt, men gudløse omkommer i Mørket; thi ingen vinder Sejr ved egen kraft.
10 Yahweh, you will break into pieces those who oppose you. You will cause thunder in the sky to show that you (oppose/are angry with) them. Yahweh, you will judge [people everywhere, even those who live in] the most remote places on the earth. You will give strength to the king whom you will appoint, and give him great power [over his enemies].”
HERREN - hans Fjender forfærdes, den Højeste tordner i Himmelen, HERREN dømmer den vide Jord! Han skænker sin Konge Kraft, løfter sin Salvedes Horn!
11 Then Elkanah [and his family] returned to Ramah, but Samuel, the little boy, stayed to help Eli the priest serve Yahweh.
Så drog hun til Rama, men Drengen gjorde Tjeneste for HERREN under Præsten Elis Tilsyn.
12 Eli’s two [, who were also priests, ] were very wicked. They did not revere (OR, respect/obey) Yahweh.
Men Elis Sønner var Niddinger; de ænsede hverken HERREN
13 While the people were boiling the meat from their sacrifices [in the huge pot at the temple], one of Eli’s sons, [would send his servant to come with a large three-pronged fork in his hand].
eller Præstens Ret over for Folket. Hver Gang en Mand bragte et Slagtoffer, kom Præstens Tjener, medens Kødet kogte, med en tregrenet Gaffel i Hånden
14 [He] would stick the fork into [the meat in] the pot, and whatever meat fastened onto the fork, he would take [and give it] to the priest who sent him. Eli’s sons did this to all the Israeli people who came to Shiloh [to offer sacrifices].
og stak den ned i Karret, Krukken, Kedelen eller Gryden, og alt, hvad Gaffelen fik med op, tog Præsten for sin Del. Således bar de sig ad over for alle de Israelitter, som kom til Silo for at ofre der.
15 Furthermore, before the fat [on the meat] was [cut off and] and burned [as a sacrifice to Yahweh], the servant of the priest would [sometimes] come to the man who was making the sacrifice and say to him, “Give me some meat [now to take] to the priest for him to roast! He wants raw meat; he does not want boiled meat.”
Eller også kom Præstens Tjener, før de bragte Fedtet som Røgoffer, og sagde til Manden, som ofrede: "Giv Præsten Kød til at stege; han tager ikke mod kogt Kød af dig, kun råt!"
16 If the man said to the servant, “Let the priests [cut off and] burn the fat first; then you can take what you want,” the servant would reply, “No, give it to me now; if you do not give it to me, I will take it forcefully!”
Sagde Manden nu til ham: "Først må Fedtet bringes som Røgoffer, bagefter kan du tage så meget, du lyster!" svarede han: "Nej, giv mig det nu, ellers tager jeg det med Magt!"
17 Yahweh considered that the young [sons of Eli] were committing a very great sin, because they were treating very disrespectfully the offerings that were being given to Yahweh.
Og de unge Mænds Synd var såre stor for HERRENs Åsyn, idet de viste Ringeagt for HERRENs Offergaver.
18 As for Samuel, who was still a very young boy, he continued to do work for Yahweh, wearing a little sacred linen vest [like the Supreme Priest wore].
Imidlertid gjorde Samuel Tjeneste for HERRENs Åsyn; og Drengen var iført en linned Efod.
19 Each year his mother made a [new] little robe for him and took it to him when she went up [to Shiloh] with her husband to offer a sacrifice.
Hans Moder lavede hvert År en lille Kappe til ham og bragte ham den, når hun drog op med sin Mand for at ofre det årlige Offer.
20 Then Eli would [ask God to] bless Elkanah and his wife, and he would say to Elkanah, “I hope/desire that Yahweh will enable your wife to give birth to other children, to take the place of the one whom she dedicated to Yahweh.” Then Elkanah and his family would return home.
Og Eli velsignede Elkana og hans Hustru og sagde: "HERREN give dig Afkom af denne Kvinde til Gengæld for ham, hun overlod HERREN!" Så gik de hjem igen.
21 And Yahweh was very kind to Hannah, and enabled her to give birth to three [other] sons and two daughters. Their son Samuel grew up while he was doing work for Yahweh [in the Sacred Tent].
Og HERREN så til Hanna, og hun blev frugtsommelig og fødte tre Sønner og to Døtre. Men Drengen Samuel voksede op hos HERREN.
22 Eli became very old. He often heard about all the [evil] things that his sons were doing to the Israeli people. He heard that they [sometimes] (slept with/had sex with) the women who worked at the entrance to the tent where [God] spoke to [his people].
Eli var meget gammel, og da han hørte, hvorledes hans Sønner behandlede hele Israel, og at de lå hos Kvinderne, som gjorde Tjeneste ved Indgangen til Åbenbaringsteltet,
23 He said to them, “(It is terrible that you do such things!/Why do you do such things?) [RHQ] Many people keep telling me about the evil things that you do.
sagde han til dem: "Hvorfor gør I sådanne Ting, som jeg hører alt Folket tale om?
24 My sons, stop it! The reports [about you] that the people who belong to Yahweh tell others are terrible [EUP]!
Bær eder dog ikke således ad, mine Sønner! Thi det er ikke noget godt Rygte, jeg hører gå fra Mund til Mund i HERRENs Folk.
25 If one person sins against another person, God can (intercede/act as a referee) between them. But if someone sins against Yahweh, no one can [RHQ] (intercede/act as a referee) between them!” But Eli’s sons would not listen to what their father said. This was because Yahweh had decided [that someone should] them.
Når en Mand synder mod en anden, dømmer Gud dem imellem; men synder en Mand mod HERREN, hvem kan da optræde som Dommer til Gunst for ham?" Men de brød sig ikke om deres Faders Advarsel, thi HERREN vilde deres Død.
26 The boy Samuel continued to grow up, and the things that he did pleased Yahweh and the people.
Men Drengen Samuel voksede til og gik stadig frem i Yndest både hos HERREN og Mennesker.
27 One day, a prophet came to Eli and told him, “This is what Yahweh has told me: ‘When your ancestors were slaves of the king of Egypt, I appeared to Aaron.
Da kom en Guds Mand til Eli og sagde: Så siger HERREN: "Se, jeg åbenbarede mig for dit Fædrenehus, dengang de var Trælle for Faraos Hus i Ægypten,
28 From all the tribes of the Israeli people, I chose him [and his male descendants] to be priests for me. I appointed them to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear a sacred apron [as they worked] for me. And I declared that they could take [and eat some of the meat] that the Israeli people burned [on the altar].
og jeg udvalgte det af alle Israels Stammer til at gøre Præstetjeneste for mig, til at træde op på mit Alter for at tænde Offerild og til at bære Efod for mit Åsyn; og jeg tildelte dit Fædrenehus alle Israeliternes Ildofre.
29 So why do you show disrespect for the sacrifices and offerings that I commanded [the people to bring] to me [RHQ]? You are honoring your sons more than you are honoring me, by allowing them to get fat from eating the best parts of all the sacrifices that the Israeli people bring to me!’
Hvor kan du da se ondt til mit Slagtoffer og Afgrødeoffer, som jeg har påbudt, og ære dine Sønner fremfor mig, idet l gør eder tilgode med det bedste at alle mit Folk Israels Offergaver!
30 “Therefore, this is what Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], declares: ‘I definitely promised that Aaron and his descendants would continue to serve [IDM] me forever.’ But now I declare this: ‘It will not continue like that! I will honor those who honor me, but I will despise those who despise me.
Derfor lyder det fra HERREN, Israels Gud: Vel har jeg sagt, at dit Hus og dit Fædrenehus for stedse skulde færdes for mit Åsyn; men nu, lyder det fra HERREN, være det langt fra mig! Nej, dem, som ærer mig, vil jeg ære, og de, som ringeagter mig, skal beskæmmes.
31 Listen carefully! There will soon be a time when I will cause all the strong [young men] in your family to die. The result will be that no men in your family will [live long enough to] become old men.
Se, den Tid skal komme, da jeg, afhugger din og dit Fædrenehus's Arm, så ingen i dit Hus skal blive gammel;
32 You will be distressed and envious as you see the blessings that I will give to [the other people in] Israel. And [I repeat that] no men in your family will ever live long enough to become old men.
og du skal se ondt til alt det gode, HERREN gør mod Israel, og ingen Sinde skal nogen i din Slægt blive gammel.
33 There is one of your descendants whom I will spare, and not prevent him from serving me as a priest. But he will become blind, and then he will always be sad and grieving. But all your other descendants will die violently.
Kun en eneste af din Slægt vil jeg undlade at bortrydde fra mit Alter for at lade hans Øjne hentæres og hans Sjæl vansmægte: men alle de andre i din Slægt skal dø for Menneskers Sværd.
34 And your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, will both die on the same day. And that will prove to you [that all that I have said will come true/happen].
Og det Tegn, du får derpå, skal være det, der overgår dine to Sønner Hofni og Pinehas: På een Dag skal de begge dø.
35 ‘have chosen another man to be my priest. He is one who will serve me faithfully: He will do everything I want [DOU] him to do. And I will enable him to have many descendants [IDM] who will be priests and will always serve me by helping the king whom I will choose.
Men jeg vil udvælge mig en trofast Præst; han skal handle efter mit Hjerte og mit Sind, og ham vil jeg bygge et varigt Hus, så han altid skal færdes for min Salvedes Åsyn.
36 All of your descendants who remain alive will have to go to that priest and ask him to give them money and food, and they will each have to say, “Please allow me to help the other priests, in order that I may [earn some money to] buy some food.”’”
Da skal enhver, som er tilbage af din Slægt, komme og kaste sig til Jorden for ham for at få en Skilling eller en Skive Brød, og han skal sige: Und mig dog Plads ved et af dine Præsteskaber, for at jeg kan have en Bid Brød at spise!"
