1 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.
1 Now the day came that Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man who was carrying his armor, “Come and let us cross over to the Philistines’ garrison that is on the other side.” But he did not tell his father.
3 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.
3 and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of the Lord at Shiloh, was wearing an ephod. And the people did not know that Jonathan had gone.
4 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.
4 Between the passes by which Jonathan sought to cross over to the Philistines’ garrison, there was a sharp crag on the one side and a sharp crag on the other side, and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
6 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!"
6 Then Jonathan said to the young man who was carrying his armor, “Come and let us cross over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; perhaps the Lord will work for us, for the Lord is not restrained to save by many or by few.”
11 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!"
11 When both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines, the Philistines said, “Behold, Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hidden themselves.”
12 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!"
12 So the men of the garrison hailed Jonathan and his armor bearer and said, “Come up to us and we will tell you something.” And Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Come up after me, for the Lord has given them into the hands of Israel.”
13 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;
13 Then Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet, with his armor bearer behind him; and they fell before Jonathan, and his armor bearer put some to death after him.
15 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.
15 And there was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. Even the garrison and the raiders trembled, and the earth quaked so that it became a great trembling.
17 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.
17 Saul said to the people who were with him, “Number now and see who has gone from us.” And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.
20 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.
20 Then Saul and all the people who were with him rallied and came to the battle; and behold, every man’s sword was against his fellow, and there was very great confusion.
21 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.
21 Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines previously, who went up with them all around in the camp, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
22 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.
22 When all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim heard that the Philistines had fled, even they also pursued them closely in the battle.
24 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.
24 Now the men of Israel were hard-pressed on that day, for Saul had put the people under oath, saying, “Cursed be the man who eats food before evening, and until I have avenged myself on my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.
27 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.
27 But Jonathan had not heard when his father put the people under oath; therefore, he put out the end of the staff that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes brightened.
28 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."
28 Then one of the people said, “Your father strictly put the people under oath, saying, ‘Cursed be the man who eats food today.’” And the people were weary.
33 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!"
33 Then they told Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against the Lord by eating with the blood.” And he said, “You have acted treacherously; roll a great stone to me today.”
34 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.
34 Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people and say to them, ‘Each one of you bring me his ox or his sheep, and slaughter it here and eat; and do not sin against the Lord by eating with the blood.’” So all the people that night brought each one his ox with him and slaughtered it there.
36 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!"
36 Then Saul said, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them.” And they said, “Do whatever seems good to you.” So the priest said, “Let us draw near to God here.”
39 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.
39 For as the Lord lives, who delivers Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.” But not one of all the people answered him.
40 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!"
40 Then he said to all Israel, “You shall be on one side and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side.” And the people said to Saul, “Do what seems good to you.”
41 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.
41 Therefore, Saul said to the Lord, the God of Israel, “Give a perfect lot.” And Jonathan and Saul were taken, but the people escaped.
43 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!"
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done.” So Jonathan told him and said, “I indeed tasted a little honey with the end of the staff that was in my hand. Here I am, I must die!”
45 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.
45 But the people said to Saul, “Must Jonathan die, who has brought about this great deliverance in Israel? Far from it! As the Lord lives, not one hair of his head shall fall to the ground, for he has worked with God this day.” So the people rescued Jonathan and he did not die.
47 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.
47 Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, the sons of Ammon, Edom, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines; and wherever he turned, he inflicted punishment.
52 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.
52 Now the war against the Philistines was severe all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man or any valiant man, he attached him to his staff.
