1 Samuel 14
1 Now it happened on a day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come! Let’s go over to the Philistines’ garrison that is on the other side.” But he didn’t tell his father.
Da hændte det en Dag, at Sauls Søn Jonatan sagde til sin Våbendrager: "Kom, lad os gå over til Filisternes Forpost her lige overfor!" Men til sin Fader sagde han intet derom.
2 Saul stayed in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron; and the people who were with him were about six hundred men,
Saul sad just ved Udkanten af Geba under Granatæbletræet ved Tærskepladsen, og folkene, som var hos ham, var omtrent 600 Mand.
3 including Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli the priest of Yahweh in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. The people didn’t know that Jonathan was gone.
Og Ahija, en Søn af Ahitub, der var Broder til Ikabod, en Søn af Pinehas, en Søn af Eli, HERRENs Præst i Silo, bar Efoden. Men Folkene vidste intet om, at Jonatan var gået.
4 Between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines’ garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side and a rocky crag on the other side; and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
I Passet, som Jonatan søgte at komme over for at angribe Filisternes Forpost, springer en Klippespids frem på hver Side; den ene hedder Bozez, den anden Sene.
5 The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.
Den ene Spids rager i Vejret på Nordsiden ud for Mikmas, den anden på Sydsiden ud for Geba.
6 Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come! Let’s go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that Yahweh will work for us, for there is no restraint on Yahweh to save by many or by few.”
Jonatan sagde da til Våbendrageren: "Kom, lad os gå over til disse uomskårnes Forpost; måske vil HERREN stå os bi, thi intet hindrer HERREN i at give Sejr, enten der er mange eller få!"
7 His armor bearer said to him, “Do all that is in your heart. Go, and behold, I am with you according to your heart.”
Våbendrageren svarede: "Gør, hvad du har i Sinde! Jeg går med; som du vil, vil også jeg!"
8 Then Jonathan said, “Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will reveal ourselves to them.
Da sagde Jonatan: "Vi søger nu at komme over til de Mænd og sørger for, at de får os at se.
9 If they say this to us, ‘Wait until we come to you!’ then we will stand still in our place and will not go up to them.
Hvis de så siger til os: Stå stille, vi kommer hen til eder! så bliver vi stående, hvor vi står, og går ikke op til dem.
10 But if they say this, ‘Come up to us!’ then we will go up, for Yahweh has delivered them into our hand. This shall be the sign to us.”
Men siger de: Kom op til os! går vi derop; thi så har HERREN givet dem i vor Hånd; det skal være vort Tegn!"
11 Both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, “Behold, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they had hidden themselves!”
Da nu Filisternes Forpost fik Øje på dem, sagde Filisterne: "Se, der kommer nogle Hebræere krybende ud af de Jordhuller, de har skjult sig i!"
12 The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, “Come up to us, and we will show you something!” Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Come up after me, for Yahweh has delivered them into the hand of Israel.”
Og Mændene, der stod på Forpost, råbte til Jonatan og hans Våbendrager: "Kom op til os, så skal vi lære jer!" Da sagde Jonatan til Våbendrageren: "Følg med derop, thi HERREN har givet dem i Israels Hånd!"
13 Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armor bearer after him, and they fell before Jonathan; and his armor bearer killed them after him.
Så klatrede Jonatan op på Hænder og Fødder, og Våbendrageren bagefter. Da flygtede de for Jonatan; og han huggede dem ned, og Våbendrageren fulgte efter og gav dem Dødsstødet;
14 That first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow’s length in an acre of land.
og i første Omgang fældede Jonatan og hans Våbendrager henved tyve Mand på en Strækning af omtrent en halv Dags Pløjeland.
15 There was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison and the raiders also trembled; and the earth quaked, so there was an exceedingly great trembling.
Da opstod der Rædsel både i og uden for Lejren. og alle Krigerne, både Forposten og Strejfskaren, sloges med Rædsel; tilmed kom der et Jordskælv, og det fremkaldte en Guds Rædsel.
16 The watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude melted away and scattered.
Men da Sauls Udkigsmænd i Geba i Benjamin så derhen, opdagede de, at det bølgede hid og did i Lejren.
17 Then Saul said to the people who were with him, “Count now, and see who is missing from us.” When they had counted, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.
Da sagde Saul til sine Folk: "Hold Mønstring og se efter, hvem af vore der er gået bort!" Og ved Mønstringen viste det sig, at Jonatan og hans Våbendrager manglede.
18 Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring God’s ark here.” For God’s ark was with the children of Israel at that time.
Da sagde Saul til Ahija: "Bring Efoden hid!" Han bar nemlig dengang Efoden foran Israel.
19 While Saul talked to the priest, the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased; and Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand!”
Men medens Saul talte med Præsten, blev Forvirringen i Filisternes Lejr større og større. Saul sagde da til Præsten: "Lad det kun være!"
20 Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle; and behold, they were all striking each other with their swords in very great confusion.
Og alle Sauls Krigere samlede sig om ham, og da de kom til Kamppladsen, se, da var den enes Sværd løftet mod den andens, og alt var i stor Forvirring.
21 Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines before and who went up with them into the camp from all around, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
Og de Hebræere, som tidligere havde stået under Filisterne og havde gjort dem Hærfølge, faldt fra og sluttede sig til Israel, som fulgte Saul og Jonatan.
22 Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.
Og da de israelitiske Mænd, som havde skjult sig i Efraims Bjerge, hørte, at Filisterne var på Flugt, satte også de efter dem for at bekæmpe dem.
23 So Yahweh saved Israel that day; and the battle passed over by Beth Aven.
Således gav HERREN Israel Sejr den Dag. Da Kampen havde strakt sig hen forbi Bet Horon -
24 The men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had adjured the people, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.
alle Krigerne var med Saul, omtrent 10000 Mand, og Kampen bredte sig over Efraims Bjerge begik Saul den Dag en stor Dårskab, idet han tog Folket i Ed og sagde: "Forbandet være hver den, som nyder noget før Aften, før jeg får taget Hævn over mine Fjender!" Og alt Folket afholdt sig fra at spise.
25 All the people came into the forest; and there was honey on the ground.
Der fandtes nogle Bikager på Marken,
26 When the people had come to the forest, behold, honey was dripping, but no one put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.
og da Folket kom til Bikagerne, var Bierne borte; men ingen førte Hånden til Munden; thi Folket frygtede Eden.
27 But Jonathan didn’t hear when his father commanded the people with the oath. Therefore he put out the end of the rod that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes brightened.
Jonatan havde dog ikke hørt, at hans Fader tog Folket i Ed, og han rakte Spidsen af den Stav, han havde i Hånden, ud, dyppede den i en Bikage og førte Hånden til Munden; derved fik hans Øjne atter Glans.
28 Then one of the people answered, and said, “Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food today.’” So the people were faint.
Da tog en af Krigerne til Orde og sagde: "Din Fader tog Folket i Ed og sagde: Forbandet være hver den, som nyder noget i Dag! Og dog var Folket udmattet."
29 Then Jonathan said, “My father has troubled the land. Please look how my eyes have brightened because I tasted a little of this honey.
Men Jonatan sagde: "Min Fader styrter Landet i Ulykke! Se, hvor mine Øjne fik Glans, fordi jeg nød den Smule Honning!
30 How much more, if perhaps the people had eaten freely today of the plunder of their enemies which they found? For now there has been no great slaughter among the Philistines.”
Nej, havde Folket blot i bag spist dygtigt af Byttet, det tog fra Fjenden! Thi nu blev Filisternes Nederlag ikke stort."
31 They struck the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. The people were very faint;
De slog da den Dag Filisterne fra Mikmas til Ajjalon, og Folket var meget udmattet.
32 and the people pounced on the plunder, and took sheep, cattle, and calves, and killed them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood.
Derfor kastede Folket sig over Byttet, tog Småkvæg, Hornkvæg og Kalve og slagtede dem på Jorden og spiste Kødet med Blodet i.
33 Then they told Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against Yahweh, in that they eat meat with the blood.” He said, “You have dealt treacherously. Roll a large stone to me today!”
Da meldte man det til Saul og sagde: "Se, Folket synder mod HERREN ved at spise Kødet med Blodet i!" Og han sagde: "I forbryder eder! Vælt mig en stor Sten herhen!"
34 Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them, ‘Every man bring me here his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat; and don’t sin against Yahweh in eating meat with the blood.’” All the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed them there.
Derpå sagde Saul: "Gå rundt iblandt Folket og sig til dem: Enhver skal bringe sin Okse eller sit Får hen til mig og slagte det her! Så kan I spise; men synd ikke mod HERREN ved at spise Kødet med Blodet i!" Da bragte hver og en af Folket, hvad han havde, og slagtede det der.
35 Saul built an altar to Yahweh. This was the first altar that he built to Yahweh.
Og Saul byggede HERREN et Alter; det var det første Alter, han byggede HERREN.
36 Saul said, “Let’s go down after the Philistines by night, and take plunder among them until the morning light. Let’s not leave a man of them.” They said, “Do whatever seems good to you.” Then the priest said, “Let’s draw near here to God.”
Derpå sagde Saul: "Lad os drage ned efter Filisterne i Nat og udplyndre dem, før Dagen gryr, og ikke lade nogen af dem blive tilbage!" De svarede: "Gør, hvad du under for godt!" Men Præsten sagde: "Lad os her træde frem for Gud!"
37 Saul asked counsel of God: “Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?” But he didn’t answer him that day.
Så rådspurgte Saul Gud:"Skal jeg drage ned efter Filisterne? Vil du give dem i Israels Hånd?" Men han svarede ham ikke den Dag.
38 Saul said, “Draw near here, all you chiefs of the people, and know and see in whom this sin has been today.
Da sagde Saul: "Kom hid, alle Folkets Øverster, og se efter, hvad det er for en Synd, der er begået i Dag;
39 For as Yahweh lives, who saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.” But there was not a man among all the people who answered him.
thi så sandt HERREN lever, han, som har givet Israel Sejr: Om det så er min Søn Jonatan, der har begået den, skal han dø!" Men ingen af Folket svarede.
40 Then he said to all Israel, “You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side.” The people said to Saul, “Do what seems good to you.”
Da sagde han til hele Israel: "I skal være den ene Part, jeg og min Søn Jonatan den anden!" Folket svarede Saul: "Gør, hvad du finder for godt!"
41 Therefore Saul said to Yahweh, the God of Israel, “Show the right.” Jonathan and Saul were chosen, but the people escaped.
Derpå sagde Saul til HERREN: "Israels Gud! Hvorfor svarer du ikke din Tjener i Dag? Hvis Skylden ligger hos mig eller min Søn Jonatan, HERRE, Israels Gud, så lad Urim komme frem; men ligger den hos dit Folk Israel, så lad Tummim komme frem!" Da ramtes Jonatan og Saul af Loddet, men Folket gik fri.
42 Saul said, “Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son.” Jonathan was selected.
Saul sagde da: "Kast Lod mellem mig og min Søn Jonatan!" Så ramtes Jonatan.
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done!” Jonathan told him, and said, “I certainly did taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and behold, I must die.”
Da sagde Saul til Jonatan: "Sig mig, hvad du har gjort!" Jonatan svarede: "Jeg nød lidt Honning på Spidsen af Staven, jeg havde i Hånden. Se, jeg er rede til at dø!"
44 Saul said, “God do so and more also; for you shall surely die, Jonathan.”
Da sagde Saul: "Gud ramme mig både med det ene og det andet! Du skal visselig dø, Jonatan!"
45 The people said to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it! As Yahweh lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he has worked with God today!” So the people rescued Jonathan, so he didn’t die.
Men Folket sagde til Saul: "Skal Jonatan dø, han, som har vundet Israel denne store Sejr? Det være langt fra! Så sandt HERREN lever, ikke et Hår skal krummes på hans Hoved; thi med Guds Hjælp vandt han Sejr i Dag!" Da udløste Folket Jonatan, og han blev friet fra Døden.
46 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.
Men Saul holdt op med at forfølge Filisterne og drog hjem, medens Filisterne trak sig tilbage til deres Land.
47 Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side: against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. Wherever he turned himself, he defeated them.
Da Saul havde vundet Kongedømmet over Israel, førte han Krig med alle sine Fjender rundt om, Moab, Ammoniterne, Edom, Kongen af Zoba og Filisterne, og Sejren fulgte ham overalt, hvor han vendte sig hen.
48 He did valiantly and struck the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who plundered them.
Han udførte Heltegerninger, slog Amalek og befriede Israel fra dem, som hærgede det.
49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.
Sauls Sønner var Jonatan, Jisjvi og Malkisjua; af hans to Døtre hed den førstefødte Merab og den yngste Mikal.
50 The name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the captain of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.
Sauls Hustru hed Ahinoam, en Datter af Ahimåz; hans Hærfører hed Abiner, en Søn af Sauls Farbroder Ner;
51 Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.
Sauls Fader Kisj og Abners Fader Ner var Sønner af Abiel.
52 There was severe war against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man or any valiant man, he took him into his service.
Men Krigen med Filisterne var hård, lige så længe Saul levede; og hver Gang Saul traf en heltemodig og tapper Mand, knyttede han ham til sig.
