1 Samuel 2
1 And Hannah prayeth, and saith: 'My heart hath exulted in Jehovah, My horn hath been high in Jehovah, My mouth hath been large over mine enemies, For I have rejoiced in Thy salvation.
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 none holy like Jehovah, For there is none save Thee, And there is no rock like our God.
Der er ingen Hellig som HERREN, nej, der er ingen uden dig, der er ingen Klippe som vor Gud
3 Ye multiply not — ye speak haughtily — The old saying goeth out from your mouth, For a God of knowledge [is] Jehovah, And by Him actions are weighed.
Vær varsomme med eders store Ord, Frækhed undslippe ej eders Mund! Thi en vidende Gud er HERREN, og Gerninger vejes af ham.
4 Bows of the mighty are broken, And the stumbling have girded on strength.
Heltes Bue er brudt, men segnende omgjorder sig med Kraft;
5 The satiated for bread hired themselves, And the hungry have ceased. While the barren hath borne seven, And she abounding with sons hath languished.
mætte lader sig leje for Brød, men sultnes Slid hører op; den ufrugtbare føder syv, men den med de mange vansmægter.
6 Jehovah putteth to death, and keepeth alive, He bringeth down to Sheol, and bringeth up. (Sheol h7585)
HERREN døder, gør levende, fører ned i Dødsriget og fører op; (Sheol h7585)
7 Jehovah dispossesseth, and He maketh rich, He maketh low, yea, He maketh high.
HERREN gør fattig, gør rig, han nedbøjer
8 He raiseth from the dust the poor, From a dunghill He lifteth up the needy, To cause [them] to sit with nobles, Yea, a throne of honour He doth cause them to inherit, For to Jehovah [are] the fixtures of earth, And He setteth on them the habitable world.
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 The feet of His saints He keepeth, And the wicked in darkness are silent, For not by power doth man become mighty.
Han vogter sine frommes Skridt, men gudløse omkommer i Mørket; thi ingen vinder Sejr ved egen kraft.
10 Jehovah — broken down are His adversaries, Against them in the heavens He thundereth: Jehovah judgeth the ends of earth, And giveth strength to His king, And exalteth the horn of His anointed.'
HERREN - hans Fjender forfærdes, den Højeste tordner i Himmelen, HERREN dømmer den vide Jord! Han skænker sin Konge Kraft, løfter sin Salvedes Horn!
11 And Elkanah goeth to Ramath, unto his house, and the youth hath been serving Jehovah, [in] the presence of Eli the priest;
Så drog hun til Rama, men Drengen gjorde Tjeneste for HERREN under Præsten Elis Tilsyn.
12 and the sons of Eli [are] sons of worthlessness, they have not known Jehovah.
Men Elis Sønner var Niddinger; de ænsede hverken HERREN
13 And the custom of the priests with the people [is]: any man sacrificing a sacrifice — then hath the servant of the priest come in when the flesh is boiling, and the hook of three teeth 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 and hath struck [it] into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the hook bringeth up doth the priest take for himself; thus they do to all Israel who are coming in, there, in Shiloh.
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 Also before they make perfume with the fat — then hath the priest's servant come in, and said to the man who is sacrificing, 'Give flesh to roast for the priest, and he doth not take of thee flesh boiled, but raw;'
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 and the man saith unto him, 'Let them surely make a perfume (as to-day) with the fat, then take to thee as thy soul desireth;' and he hath said to him, 'Surely now thou dost give; and if not — I have taken by strength.'
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 And the sin of the young men is very great [in] the presence of Jehovah, for the men have despised the offering of Jehovah.
Og de unge Mænds Synd var såre stor for HERRENs Åsyn, idet de viste Ringeagt for HERRENs Offergaver.
18 And Samuel is ministering [in] the presence of Jehovah, a youth girt [with] an ephod of linen;
Imidlertid gjorde Samuel Tjeneste for HERRENs Åsyn; og Drengen var iført en linned Efod.
19 and a small upper coat doth his mother make to him, and she hath brought it up to him from time to time, in her coming up with her husband to sacrifice the sacrifice of the time.
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 And Eli blessed Elkanah, and his wife, and said, 'Jehovah doth appoint for thee seed of this woman, for the petition which she asked for Jehovah;' and they have gone to their place.
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 When Jehovah hath looked after Hannah, then she conceiveth and beareth three sons and two daughters; and the youth Samuel groweth up with Jehovah.
Og HERREN så til Hanna, og hun blev frugtsommelig og fødte tre Sønner og to Døtre. Men Drengen Samuel voksede op hos HERREN.
22 And Eli [is] very old, and hath heard all that his sons do to all Israel, and how that they lie with the women who are assembling [at] the opening of the tent of meeting,
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 and he saith to them, 'Why do ye things like these? for I am hearing of your evil words from all the people — these!
sagde han til dem: "Hvorfor gør I sådanne Ting, som jeg hører alt Folket tale om?
24 Nay, my sons; for the report which I am hearing is not good causing the people of Jehovah to transgress. —
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 a man sin against a man, then hath God judged him; but if against Jehovah a man sin, who doth pray for him?' and they hearken not to the voice of their father, though Jehovah hath delighted to put them to death.
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 And the youth Samuel is going on and growing up, and [is] good both with Jehovah, and also with men.
Men Drengen Samuel voksede til og gik stadig frem i Yndest både hos HERREN og Mennesker.
27 And there cometh a man of God unto Eli, and saith unto him, 'Thus said Jehovah, Was I really revealed unto the house of thy father in their being in Egypt, before Pharaoh's house,
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 even to choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to Me for a priest, to go up on Mine altar, to make a perfume, to bear an ephod before Me, and I give to the house of thy father all the fire-offerings of the sons of Israel?
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 Why do ye kick at My sacrifice, and at Mine offering which I commanded [in] My habitation, and dost honour thy sons above Me, to make yourselves fat from the first part of every offering of Israel, of My people?
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 — the affirmation of Jehovah, God of Israel — I certainly said, Thy house and the house of thy father, do walk up and down before Me to the age; and now — the affirmation of Jehovah — Far be it from Me! for he who is honouring Me, I honour, and those despising Me, are lightly esteemed.
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 'Lo, days [are] coming, and I have cut off thine arm, and the arm of the house of thy father, that an old man is not in thy house;
Se, den Tid skal komme, da jeg, afhugger din og dit Fædrenehus's Arm, så ingen i dit Hus skal blive gammel;
32 and thou hast beheld an adversary [in My] habitation, in all that He doth good with Israel, and there is not an old man in thy house all the days.
og du skal se ondt til alt det gode, HERREN gør mod Israel, og ingen Sinde skal nogen i din Slægt blive gammel.
33 'And the man I cut not off of thine from Mine altar, [is] to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thy soul; and all the increase of thy house do die men;
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 this [is] to thee the sign that cometh unto thy two sons, unto Hophni and Phinehas — in one day they die both of them;
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 and I have raised up for Me a stedfast priest; as in My heart and in My soul he doth do; and I have built for him a stedfast house, and he hath walked up and down before Mine anointed all the days;
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 and it hath been, every one who is left in thy house doth come in to bow himself to him, for a wage of silver, and a cake of bread, and hath said, Admit me, I pray thee, unto one of the priest's offices, to eat a morsel of bread.'
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!"
