1 Samuels 14
1 Det bar so til ein dag at Jonatan, Saulssonen, sagde med våpnsveinen sin: «Kom, lat oss ganga yver til filistarutposten der burte på hi sida!» Men han gat det ikkje med far sin.
And when a certain day arrived, Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to Messab of the Philistines that is on the other side yonder; but he told not his father.
2 Saul heldt seg i utkanten av Gibea under granatapallen i Migron, og folket han hadde med seg, var um lag seks hundrad mann.
And Saul sat on the top of the hill under the pomegranate tree that is in Magdon, and there were with him about six hundred men.
3 Ahia Ahitubsson, bror åt I-kabod, son åt Pinehas Elison, Herrens prest i Silo, han bar no messehakelen. Og folket visste ikkje at Jonatan var gjengen.
And Achia son of Achitob, the brother of Jochabed the son of Phinees, the son of Heli, [was] the priest of God in Selom wearing an ephod: and the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.
4 I skardet der Jonatan freista ganga yver til filistarutposten, låg ein berghamar på kvar sida; den eine heitte Boses, og den andre Sene.
And in the midst of the passage whereby Jonathan sought to pass over to the encampment of the Philistines, there was both a sharp rock on this side, and a sharp rock on the other side: the name of the one [was] Bases, and the name of the other Senna.
5 Den eine hamaren reis upp mot nord, beint imot Mikmas, den andre mot sør, beint imot Geba.
The one way [was] northward to one coming to Machmas, and the other way [was] southward to one coming to Gabae.
6 Jonatan sagde med våpnsveinen sin: «Kom, lat oss klyva yver til utposten åt desse u-umskorne! kann henda vil Herren hjelpa oss. Det er ingen ting i vegen for at Herren kann gjeva siger anten dei er få eller mange.»
And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armor, Come, let us go over to Messab of these uncircumcised, if [perhaps] the Lord may do something for us; for the Lord is not straitened to save by many or by few.
7 Våpnsveinen svara: «Gjer alt det du tykkjer! Berre gakk på! eg fylgjer deg kvar du vil.»
And his armor-bearer said to him, Do all that your heart inclines toward: behold, I [am] with you, my heart [is] as your heart.
8 Jonatan sagde: «Me kliv yver til dei kararne, og lager det so at dei ser oss.
And Jonathan said, Behold, we will go over to the men, and will come down suddenly upon them.
9 Segjer dei då: «Stana der til dess me kjem burt åt dykk!» so stoggar me der me stend, og gjeng ikkje upp til deim.
If they should say thus to us, Stand aloof there until we shall send you word; then we will stand still by ourselves, and will not go up against them.
10 Men segjer dei: «Kom hit upp til oss!» då gjeng me upp; for då hev Herren hev gjeve deim i våre hender. Det skal me hava til jarteign.»
[But] if they should say thus to us, Come up to us; then will we go up, for the Lord has delivered them into our hands; this [shall be] a sign to us.
11 Då no båe filistarutposten fekk sjå dei tvo, sagde dei: «Sjå hebræarane kryp ut or holorne der dei hev løynt seg.»
And they both went in to Messab of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of their Caves, where they had hidden themselves.
12 Og utpostkararne ropa til Jonatan og våpnsveinen hans: «Kom hit upp til oss, so skal de få full greida!» Jonatan sagde med våpnsveinen: «Fylg meg! Herren hev gjeve deim i Israels hand.»
And the men of Messab answered Jonathan and his armor-bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing: and Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, Come up after me, for the Lord has delivered them into the hands of Israel.
13 Jonatan kleiv uppetter på hender og føter, og våpnsveinen fylgde. Jonatan felte deim, og våpnsveinen fylgde etter og gjorde det av med deim.
And Jonathan went up on his hands and feet, and his armor-bearer with him; and they looked on the face of Jonathan, and he struck them, and his armor-bearer did strike [them] after him.
14 I fyrste åtaket Jonatan og våpnsveinen gjorde, hogg dei ned um lag eit tjug, på ei vidd som ein halv dags plogland.
And the first slaughter which Jonathan and his armor-bearer effected was twenty men, with darts and slings, and pebbles of the field.
15 Då vart dei fjetra både i lægret og på marki heile heren; og utpostarne og røvarflokkarne vart og fjetra. Og grunnen skalv, so det kom ein støkk frå Gud yver deim.
And there was dismay in the camp, and in the field; and all the people in Messab, and the spoilers were amazed; and they would not act, and the land was terror-struck, and there was dismay from the lord.
16 Vaktpostarne åt Saul i Gibea i Benjamin såg at heile hopen var reint i ørska, so dei vingla i kross og krok.
And the watchmen of Saul saw in Gabaa of Benjamin, and, behold, the army was thrown into confusion on every side.
17 Saul sagde til krigsfolket sitt; «Mynstra heren, og sjå kven som vantar!» Dei mynstra heren, og fekk sjå at Jonatan og våpnsveinen hans vanta.
And Saul said to the people with him, Number yourselves now, and see who has gone out from you: and they numbered themselves, and behold, Jonathan and his armor-bearer were not found.
18 Då sagde Saul til Ahia: «Kom hit med Guds kista!» For Guds kista var den tid millom Israels-borni.
And Saul said to Achia, Bring the ephod; for he wore the ephod in that day before Israel.
19 Men medan Saul tala med presten, auka ståket i filistarlægret allstødt. Saul sagde då til presten: «Det kann vera det same.»
And it came to pass while Saul was speaking to the priest, that the sound in the camp of the Philistines continued to increase greatly; and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw your hands.
20 So samla dei seg på slagmarki, Saul og alt krigsfolket hans, og fekk sjå fiendarne lyfte sverdi mot kvarandre, og dei var so forstøkte, at dei visste korkje att eller fram.
And Saul went up and all the people that were with him, and they come to the battle: and, behold, [every] man's sword was against his neighbor, a very great confusion.
21 Dei hebræarane som frå gamalt hadde vore i filistarmagt, og hadde fylgt med deim upp og var spreidde rundt i lægret, dei og slo lag med Israels-heren under Saul og Jonatan.
And the servants who had been before with the Philistines, who had gone up to the army, turned themselves also to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
22 Og då dei Israels-mennerne som hadde løynt seg i Efraimsfjellbygdi, høyrde gjete at filistarane var på flog, sette alle dei og etter deim og kom med i slaget.
And all the Israelites who were hidden in mount Ephraim heard also that the Philistines fled; and they also gather themselves after them to battle: and the Lord saved Israel in that day; and the war passed through Bamoth; and all the people with Saul were about ten thousand men.
23 Soleis gav Herren Israel siger den dagen. Og bardagen flutte seg heilt framum Bet-Aven.
And the battle extended itself to every city in the mount Ephraim.
24 Det røynde hardt på kvar israelit den dagen. Og Saul batt folket med denne eiden: «Forbanna den som et noko mat fyre kvelden, fyrr eg hev teke hemn yver fiendarne mine!» So var det ingen som smaka matbiten.
And Saul committed a great trespass of ignorance in that day, and he lays a curse on the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who shall eat bread before the evening; so I will avenge myself on my enemy: and none of the people tasted bread, though all the land was dining.
25 Då dei alle i hop kom inn i skogen, låg det honning på marki.
And Jaal was a wood abounding in swarms of bees on the face of the ground.
26 Men då folket kom upp i skogen og fekk sjå honning strøyma ut, våga ingen føra handi til munnen, av age for eiden.
And the people went into the place of the bees, and, behold, they continued speaking; and, behold, there was none that put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath of the Lord.
27 Jonatan hadde ikkje lydt på då far hans tok folket i eid; difor rette han ut staven han hadde i handi og duppa den eine enden i honningen, og førde so handi til munnen; han vart då bjartøygd att.
And Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people; and he reached forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, an dipped it into the honeycomb, and returned his hand to his mouth, and his eyes recovered their sight.
28 Ein av mennerne tok til ords og sagde: «Far din hev bunde folket med denne eiden: «Forbanna kvar den som et noko mat i dag!» - endå dei var trøytte.»
And one of the people answered and said, Your father solemnly adjured the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who shall eat bread today. And the people were very faint,
29 Jonatan svara: «Far fører ulukka yver landet! Sjå, kor augo mine ljosna av di eg smaka noko lite på denne honningen.
and Jonathan knew it, and said, My father has destroyed the land: see how my eyes have received sight [now] that I have tasted a little of this honey.
30 Kor mykje større mannefall skulde det ikkje vorte millom filistarane um mennerne hadde fenge eta seg mette i dag av herfanget dei vann hjå fiendarne sine!»
Surely if the people had this day eaten freely of the spoils of their enemies which they found, the slaughter among the Philistines would have been greater.
31 Like vel: dei slo filistarane den dagen og forfylgde deim frå Mikmas til Ajjalon, og folki var svært trøytte.
And on that day he struck some of the Philistines in Machmas; and the people were very weary.
32 So kasta folket seg yver herfanget, tok sauer og uksar og kalvar, og slagta deim på marki, og åt kjøtet med blodet i.
And the people turned to the spoil; and the people took flocks, and herds, and calves, and killed them on the ground, and the people ate with the blood.
33 Dei melde det åt Saul og sagde: «Sjå, folket syndar mot Herren og et kjøt med blod i.» Då ropa Saul: «De hev gjort svik! Velt ein stor stein hit til meg!»
And it was reported to Saul, saying, The people have sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood: and Saul said, Out of Getthaim roll a great stone to me hither.
34 Og Saul sagde: «Gakk ut millom folket og seg til deim: «Kvar og ein skal føra hit til meg uksen sin og sauen sin og slagta og eta honom her! Ikkje må de synda mot Herren og eta kjøt med blod i!»» Då førde heile folket fram um natti, kvar med eigi hand, uksarne sine, og slagta deim der.
And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them to bring hither every one his calf, and every one his sheep: and let them kill it on this [stone] and sin not against the Lord in eating with the blood: and the people brought each one that which was in his hand, and they killed [them] there.
35 Saul bygde eit altar for Herren. Dette var det fyrste altaret han bygde åt Herren.
And Saul built an altar there to the Lord: this was the first altar that Saul built to the Lord.
36 Og Saul sagde: «Lat oss forfylgja filistarane i natt og herja millom deim, alt til det dagast i morgon, so ingen av deim kjem undan!» Dei svara: «Gjer alt det du tykkjer!» Men presten sagde: «Lat oss ganga fram for Guds åsyn her!»
And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines this night, and let us plunder among them till the day break, and let us not leave a man among them. And they said, Do all that is good in your sight: and the priest said, let us draw near hither to God.
37 Då spurde Saul Gud: «Skal eg forfylgja filistarane? Vil du gjeva deim i Israels hand?» Men han gav deim ikkje svar den dagen.
And Saul enquired of God, If I go down after the Philistines, will you deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not in that day.
38 Då sagde Saul: «Kom hit fram alle dei gjævaste av folket! so fær det sjå og gå kva det er for ei syndi som er gjord i dag.
And Saul said, Bring hither all the chiefs of Israel, and know and see by whom this sin has been committed this day.
39 So sant Herren liver, han som hev gjeve Israel siger, um det so er Jonatan, son min, skal han lata livet!» Ingen av folket svara honom.
For as the Lord lives who has saved Israel, if answer should be against my son Jonathan, he shall surely die. And there was no one that answered out of all the people.
40 Då sagde han til heile Israel: «Statt de på den eine sida, so vil eg med Jonatan, son min, standa på hi.» Folket svara Saul: «Gjer som du tykkjer!»
And he said to all the men of Israel, You shall be under subjection, and I an Jonathan my son will be under subjection: and the people said to Saul, Do that which is good in your sight.
41 Då sagde Saul til Herren, Israels Gud: «Lat sanningi koma for dagen!» Då fall luten på Jonatan og Saul, og folket gjekk fritt.
And Saul said, O Lord God of Israel, why have you not answered your servant this day? [is] the iniquity in me, or in Jonathan my son? Lord God of Israel, give clear [manifestations]; and if [the lot] should declare this, give, I pray you, to your people of Israel, give, I pray, holiness. And Jonathan and Saul are taken, and the people escaped.
42 Saul sagde: «Drag strå millom meg og Jonatan, son min!» Då fall luten på Jonatan.
And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and my son Jonathan: whoever the Lord shall cause to be taken by lot, let him die: and the people said to Saul, This thing is not [to be done]: and Saul prevailed against the people, and they cast [lots] between him and Jonathan his son, and Jonathan is taken by lot.
43 Saul sagde til Jonatan: «Seg meg kva du hev gjort!» Då sagde Jonatan det med honom: «Med enden av staven eg hadde i handi, tok eg noko lite honning og smaka lite grand på det. Sjå her er eg, ferdig til å døy.»
And Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what you have done: and Jonathan told him, and said, I did indeed taste a little honey, with the end of my staff that was in my hand, and, behold! I [am to] die.
44 Saul svara: «Ja, Gud late meg bøta for det no og sidan! Livet lyt du lata, Jonatan!»
And Saul said to him, God do so to me, and more also, you shall surely die today.
45 Men folket sagde til Saul: «Skulde Jonatan døy? Han som hev vunne denne store sigeren for Israel! Aldri i verdi! So sant Herren liver, ikkje eit hår på hovudet hans skal vert skadt! for med Guds hjelp hev han gjort dette i dag.» Og folket løyste Jonatan ut; han vart ikkje drepen.
And the people said to Saul, Shall he that has wrought this great salvation in Israel be put to death this day? [As] the Lord lives, there shall not fall to the ground one of the hairs of his head; for the people of God have wrought successfully this day. And the people prayed for Jonathan in that day, and he died not.
46 Saul drog heim, og forfylgde ikkje filistarane meir. Filistarane drog og heim til seg.
And Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines departed to their place.
47 Då Saul hadde eigna til seg kongedømet i Israel, førde han krig mot alle fiendarne sine rundt ikring: Moab, ammonitarne, Edom, kongarne i Soba og filistarane. Og kvar helst han vende seg, tukta han deim.
And Saul received the kingdom, by lot he inherits the office [of ruling] over Israel: and he fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against the children of Edom, and against Baethaeor, and against the king of Suba, and against the Philistines: wherever he turned, he was victorious.
48 Han vann seg stort velde. Han slo Amalek - og fria soleis Israel frå deim som herja det.
And he wrought valiantly, and struck Amalec, and rescued Israel out of the hand of them that trampled on him.
49 Sønerne åt Saul var Jonatan, Jisvi og Malkisua. Av dei tvo døtterne hans heitte den eldste Merab og den yngste Mikal.
And the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Jessiu, and Melchisa: and [these were] the names of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn Merob, and the name of the second Melchol.
50 Kona åt Saul heitte Ahinoam Ahima’asdotter. Hovdingen yver heren hans heitte Abner, son åt Ner, som var farbror åt Saul;
And the name of his wife was Achinoom, the daughter of Achimaa: and the name of his captain of the host was Abenner, the son of Ner, son of a kinsman of Saul.
51 for Kis, Sauls far, og Ner, Abners far, var søner åt Abiel.
And Kis [was] the father of Saul, and Ner, the father of Abenezer, [was] son of Jamin, son of Abiel.
52 Krigen mot filistarane var allstødt hard so lenge Saul livde. Og so tidt Saul såg ei kjempa eller ein dugande kar, tok han honom i si tenesta.
And the war was vehement against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man, and any valiant man, then he took them to himself.
