1 Samuel 2
1 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.
And Hannah prayed, and said, Mine heart reioyceth in the Lord, mine horne is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged ouer mine enemies, because I reioyce in thy saluation.
2 Der er ingen Hellig som HERREN, nej, der er ingen uden dig, der er ingen Klippe som vor Gud
There is none holy as the Lord: yea, there is none besides thee, and there is no god like our God.
3 Vær varsomme med eders store Ord, Frækhed undslippe ej eders Mund! Thi en vidende Gud er HERREN, og Gerninger vejes af ham.
Speake no more presumptuously: let not arrogancie come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him enterprises are established.
4 Heltes Bue er brudt, men segnende omgjorder sig med Kraft;
The bow and the mightie men are broken, and the weake haue girded themselues with strength.
5 mætte lader sig leje for Brød, men sultnes Slid hører op; den ufrugtbare føder syv, men den med de mange vansmægter.
They that were full, are hired foorth for bread, and the hungrie are no more hired, so that the barren hath borne seuen: and shee that had many children, is feeble.
The Lord killeth and maketh aliue: bringeth downe to the graue and raiseth vp. (Sheol h7585)
7 HERREN gør fattig, gør rig, han nedbøjer
The Lord maketh poore and maketh rich: bringeth lowe, and exalteth.
8 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
He raiseth vp ye poore out of the dust, and lifteth vp the begger from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherite the seate of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lordes, and he hath set the world vpon them.
9 Han vogter sine frommes Skridt, men gudløse omkommer i Mørket; thi ingen vinder Sejr ved egen kraft.
Hee will keepe the feete of his Saintes, and the wicked shall keepe silence in darkenes: for in his owne might shall no man be strong.
10 HERREN - hans Fjender forfærdes, den Højeste tordner i Himmelen, HERREN dømmer den vide Jord! Han skænker sin Konge Kraft, løfter sin Salvedes Horn!
The Lordes aduersaries shall be destroyed, and out of heauen shall he thunder vpon them: the Lord shall iudge the endes of the worlde, and shall giue power vnto his King, and exalt the horne of his Anoynted.
11 Så drog hun til Rama, men Drengen gjorde Tjeneste for HERREN under Præsten Elis Tilsyn.
And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house, and the childe did minister vnto the Lord before Eli the Priest.
12 Men Elis Sønner var Niddinger; de ænsede hverken HERREN
Now the sonnes of Eli were wicked men, and knewe not the Lord.
13 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
For the Priestes custome towarde the people was this: when any man offered sacrifice, the Priestes boy came, while the flesh was seething, and a fleshhooke with three teeth, in his hand,
14 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.
And thrust it into the kettle, or into the caldron, or into the panne, or into the potte: all that the fleshhooke brought vp, the Priest tooke for himselfe: thus they did vnto all the Israelites, that came thither to Shiloh.
15 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!"
Yea, before they burnt the fat, the priests boy came and saide to the man that offered, Giue me flesh to rost for the priest: for he wil not haue sodden flesh of thee, but rawe.
16 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!"
And if any man saide vnto him, Let them burne the fatte according to the custome, then take as much as thine heart desireth: then hee would answere, No, but thou shalt giue it nowe: and if thou wilt not, I will take it by force.
17 Og de unge Mænds Synd var såre stor for HERRENs Åsyn, idet de viste Ringeagt for HERRENs Offergaver.
Therefore the sinne of the yong men was very great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord.
18 Imidlertid gjorde Samuel Tjeneste for HERRENs Åsyn; og Drengen var iført en linned Efod.
Now Samuel being a yong childe ministred before the Lord, girded with a linen Ephod.
19 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.
And his mother made him a litle coat, and brought it to him from yeere to yeere, when she came vp with her husband, to offer the yerely sacrifice.
20 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.
And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The Lord giue thee seede of this woman, for the petition that she asked of the Lord: and they departed vnto their place.
21 Og HERREN så til Hanna, og hun blev frugtsommelig og fødte tre Sønner og to Døtre. Men Drengen Samuel voksede op hos HERREN.
And the Lord visited Hannah, so that she conceiued, and bare three sonnes, and two daughters. And the childe Samuel grewe before the Lord.
22 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,
So Eli was very olde, and heard all that his sonnes did vnto all Israel, and howe they laye with the women that assembled at the doore of the tabernacle of the Congregation.
23 sagde han til dem: "Hvorfor gør I sådanne Ting, som jeg hører alt Folket tale om?
And hee saide vnto them, Why doe ye such things? for of all this people I heare euill reportes of you.
24 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.
Do no more, my sonnes, for it is no good report that I heare, which is, that ye make the Lords people to trespasse.
25 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.
If one man sinne against another, the Iudge shall iudge it: but if a man sinne against the Lord, who will pleade for him? Notwithstanding they obeyed not the voyce of their father, because the Lord would slay them.
26 Men Drengen Samuel voksede til og gik stadig frem i Yndest både hos HERREN og Mennesker.
(Nowe the childe Samuel profited and grewe, and was in fauour both with the Lord and also with men)
27 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,
And there came a man of God vnto Eli, and said vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Did not I plainely appeare vnto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaohs house?
28 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.
And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my Priest, to offer vpon mine altar, and to burne incense, and to weare an Ephod before me, and I gaue vnto the house of thy father all the offrings made by fire of the children of Israel.
29 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!
Wherefore haue you kicked against my sacrifice and mine offering, which I commanded in my Tabernacle, and honourest thy children aboue mee, to make your selues fatte of the first fruites of all the offerings of Israel my people?
30 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.
Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I saide, that thine house and the house of thy father should walke before mee for euer: but nowe the Lord saith, It shall not be so: for them that honour me, I will honour, and they that despise me, shall be despised.
31 Se, den Tid skal komme, da jeg, afhugger din og dit Fædrenehus's Arm, så ingen i dit Hus skal blive gammel;
Beholde, the dayes come, that I will cut off thine arme, and the arme of thy fathers house, that there shall not be an olde man in thine house.
32 og du skal se ondt til alt det gode, HERREN gør mod Israel, og ingen Sinde skal nogen i din Slægt blive gammel.
And thou shalt see thine enemie in the habitation of the Lord in all thinges wherewith God shall blesse Israel, and there shall not be an olde man in thine house for euer.
33 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.
Neuerthelesse, I will not destroy euery one of thine from mine altar, to make thine eyes to faile, and to make thine heart sorowfull: and all ye multitude of thine house shall die when they be men.
34 Og det Tegn, du får derpå, skal være det, der overgår dine to Sønner Hofni og Pinehas: På een Dag skal de begge dø.
And this shalbe a signe vnto thee, that shall come vpon thy two sonnes Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die both.
35 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.
And I will stirre me vp a faithfull Priest, that shall do according to mine heart and according to my minde: and I wil build him a sure house, and he shall walke before mine Anointed for euer.
36 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!"
And all that are left in thine house, shall come and bowe downe to him for a piece of siluer and a morsell of bread, and shall say, Appoint me, I pray thee, to one of the priestes offices, that I may eate a morsell of bread.
