Første Kongebog 13
1 Og se, der kom en Guds Mand af Juda efter Herrens Ord til Bethel, medens Jeroboam stod ved Alteret for at gøre Røgelse.
And behold, by the word of the Lord, a man of God went from Judah to Bethel, when Jeroboam was standing over the altar, and burning incense.
2 Og han raabte imod Alteret efter Herrens Ord og sagde: Alter! Alter! saa sagde Herren: Se, for Davids Hus skal fødes en Søn, hvis Navn skal være Josias, og han skal ofre paa dig Højenes Præster, som gøre Røgelse paa dig, og de skulle opbrænde Menneskers Ben paa dig.
And by the word of the Lord, he cried out against the altar. And he said: “O altar, O altar! Thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, a son will be born to the house of David, Josiah by name. And upon you, he will immolate the priests of the high places, who now burn incense upon you. And upon you, he will burn up the bones of men.’”
3 Og han gav paa den samme Dag et underligt Tegn og sagde: Dette er det underlige Tegn paa, at Herren har talt dette: Se, Alteret skal revne, og Asken, som er derpaa, skal adspredes.
And he gave a sign on the same day, saying: “This will be the sign that the Lord has spoken. Behold, the altar shall be torn apart, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.”
4 Og det skete, der Kongen hørte den Guds Mands Ord, som raabte imod Alteret i Bethel, da rakte Jeroboam sin Haand ud fra Alteret og sagde: Griber ham! og hans Haand visnede, som han udrakte imod ham, saa at han ikke kunde drage den tilbage til sig.
And when the king had heard the word of the man of God, which he had cried out against the altar at Bethel, he extended his hand from the altar, saying, “Apprehend him!” But his hand, which he had extended against him, withered. And he was unable to draw it back to himself.
5 Og Alteret revnede, og Asken blev adspredt fra Alteret efter det underlige Tegn, som den Guds Mand havde givet ved Herrens Ord.
Also, the altar was torn apart, and the ashes were poured out from the altar, in accord with the sign that the man of God had predicted by the word of the Lord.
6 Da svarede Kongen og sagde til den Guds Mand: Kære, bed ydmygeligt for Herren din Guds Ansigt, og bed for mig, at min Haand maa komme tilbage til mig igen. Da bad den Guds Mand ydmygeligt for Herrens Ansigt, og Kongens Haand kom tilbage til ham og blev, som den var tilforn.
And the king said to the man of God, “Entreat the face of the Lord your God, and pray for me, so that my hand may be restored to me.” And the man of God prayed before the face of the Lord, and the hand of the king was restored to him, and it became as it had been before.
7 Og Kongen sagde til den Guds Mand: Kom hjem med mig, og vederkvæg dig, og jeg vil give dig en Gave.
Then the king said to the man of God: “Come home with me, so that you may dine. And I will give you gifts.”
8 Men den Guds Mand sagde til Kongen: Dersom du vilde give mig Halvdelen af dit Hus, gaar jeg dog ikke med dig, og jeg vil ikke æde Brød og ikke drikke Vand paa dette Sted.
And the man of God responded to the king: “Even if you will give me one half part of your house, I will not go with you, nor eat bread, nor drink water in this place.
9 Thi det er mig saa budet ved Herrens Ord og sagt: Du skal ikke æde Brød og ej drikke Vand, og du skal ikke vende tilbage ad den Vej, paa hvilken du kom.
For so it was commanded to me by the word of the Lord, ordering: ‘You shall not eat bread, and you shall not drink water, nor shall you return by the way that you came.’”
10 Og han gik bort ad en anden Vej og vendte ikke tilbage ad den Vej, som han var kommen til Bethel.
Then he departed by another way, and he did not return along the way that he had traveled to Bethel.
11 Og der boede en gammel Profet i Bethel, og hans Søn kom og fortalte ham al den Gerning, som den Guds Mand gjorde den Dag i Bethel, de Ord, som han talte til Kongen, og de fortalte deres Fader dem.
Now a certain elderly prophet was living in Bethel. His sons went to him, and they described to him all the works which the man of God had accomplished on that day in Bethel. And they described to their father the words that he had spoken to the king.
12 Og deres Fader sagde til dem: Hvor er den Vej, han gik ad? thi hans Sønner havde set Vejen, ad hvilken den Guds Mand, som var kommen fra Juda, gik bort.
And their father said to them, “By which way did he depart?” His sons showed him the way by which the man of God, who had come from Judah, had departed.
13 Da sagde han til sine Sønner: Sadler mig Asenet; og de sadlede Asenet til ham, og han red derpaa.
And he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” And when they had saddled it, he climbed on,
14 Og han drog efter den Guds Mand og fandt ham siddende under Egen og sagde til ham: Er du den Guds Mand, som kom fra Juda? og han sagde: Ja.
and he went away after the man of God. And he found him sitting under a terebinth tree. And he said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” And he responded, “I am.”
15 Da sagde han til ham: Kom hjem med mig og æd Brød!
And he said to him, “Come home with me, so that you may eat bread.”
16 Og han sagde: Jeg kan ikke vende tilbage med dig og komme med dig, jeg vil hverken æde Brød, ej heller drikke Vand med dig paa dette Sted.
But he said: “I am not able to turn back, nor to go with you. Neither will I eat bread, or drink water in this place.
17 Thi der skete et Ord til mig ved Herrens Ord: Du skal hverken æde Brød, ej heller drikke Vand der, du skal ikke vende tilbage, at gaa ad den Vej, paa hvilken du kom.
For the Lord has spoken to me, by the word of the Lord, saying, “You shall not eat bread, and you shall not drink water in that place, nor shall you return by the way that you arrived.”
18 Og han sagde til ham: Jeg er og en Profet som du, og en Engel talte med mig ved Herrens Ord og sagde: Før ham tilbage med dig til dit Hus, at han æder Brød og drikker Vand; men han løj for ham.
And he said to him: “I, too, am a prophet like you. And an Angel spoke to me, by the word of the Lord, saying, ‘Lead him back with you to your house, so that he may eat bread, and drink water.’” And so he deceived him.
19 Og han vendte tilbage med ham, og han aad Brød i hans Hus og drak Vand.
And he led him back with him. Then he ate bread and drank water in his house.
20 Og det skete, der de sade til Bords, da skete Herrens Ord til Profeten, som havde ført ham tilbage,
And while they were sitting at table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet who had led him back.
21 og han raabte til den Guds Mand, som var kommen fra Juda, og sagde: Saa sagde Herren: Fordi du har været genstridig imod Herrens Mund og ikke har holdt det Bud, som Herren din Gud bød dig,
And he cried out to the man of God who had arrived from Judah, saying: “Thus says the Lord: Because you were not obedient to the mouth of the Lord, and you did not keep the commandment that the Lord your God instructed to you,
22 men du vendte tilbage og aad Brød og drak Vand paa det Sted, om hvilket jeg sagde dig: Du skal hverken æde Brød, ej heller drikke Vand: Derfor skal dit Legeme ikke komme til dine Fædres Grav.
and you turned back, and ate bread, and drank water in the place where he commanded you that you should not eat bread, nor drink water: your dead body shall not be carried back to the sepulcher of your fathers.”
23 Og det skete, efter at han havde ædt Brød, og efter at han havde drukket, da sadlede han Asenet til ham, nemlig til Profeten, som han havde ført tilbage.
And when he had eaten and had drunk, he saddled his donkey for the prophet whom he had led back.
24 Saa drog han bort, og en Løve mødte ham paa Vejen og dræbte ham; og hans Legeme var kastet paa Vejen, og Asenet stod hos det, og Løven stod hos Legemet.
And when he had departed, a lion found him along the way, and it killed him, and his dead body was left upon the road. Now the donkey was standing beside him. And the lion was standing beside the dead body.
25 Og se, Folket som gik der forbi og saa Legemet kastet paa Vejen og Løven staa hos Legemet, de kom og sagde det i Staden, som den gamle Profet boede udi.
And behold, men who were passing by saw the dead body lying in the road, with the lion standing beside the body. And they went and made it widely known in the city where that elderly prophet was living.
26 Der Profeten, som havde ført ham tilbage af Vejen, hørte det, da sagde han: Det er den Guds Mand, som var genstridig imod Herrens Mund, derfor gav Herren ham til Løven, og den sønderrev ham og dræbte ham efter Herrens Ord, som han talte til ham.
And when that prophet, who had led him back from the way, had heard it, he said: “It is the man of God, who was disobedient to the mouth of the Lord. And the Lord has delivered him to the lion. And it has torn him apart and killed him, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke to him.”
27 Og han talte til sine Sønner og sagde: Sadler mig Asenet; og de sadlede det.
And he said to his sons, “Saddle a donkey for me.” And when they had saddled it,
28 Og han drog hen og fandt hans Legeme kastet paa Vejen og Asenet og Løven staaende hos Legemet; Løven havde ikke ædt Legemet og ikke sønderrevet Asenet.
and he had departed, he found the dead body lying on the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside the dead body. The lion did not eat from the dead body, nor did it harm the donkey.
29 Da tog Profeten den Guds Mands Legeme op og lagde det paa Asenet og førte det tilbage; saa kom den gamle Profet til Staden for at begræde og begrave ham.
Then the prophet took the dead body of the man of God, and he placed it upon the donkey, and returning, he brought it into the city of the elderly prophet, so that he might mourn for him.
30 Og han lagde hans Legeme i sin egen Grav, og de begræd ham, sigende: Ak, min Broder!
And he placed his dead body in his own sepulcher. And they mourned for him, saying: “Alas! Alas! My brother!”
31 Og det skete, efter at han havde begravet ham, da sagde han til sine Sønner: Naar jeg dør, da skulle I begrave mig i Graven, i hvilken den Guds Mand er begraven: Lægger mine Ben hos hans Ben!
And when they had mourned over him, he said to his sons: “When I will have died, bury me in the sepulcher in which the man of God was buried. Place my bones beside his bones.
32 Thi det Ord skal vist ske, som han raabte efter Herrens Ord imod Alteret, som er i Bethel, og imod alle Huse paa Højene, som ere i Samarias Stæder.
For certainly, the word will arrive, which he predicted by the word of the Lord, against the altar, which is in Bethel, and against all the shrines of the high places, which are in the cities of Samaria.”
33 Efter denne Handel vendte Jeroboam ikke om fra sin onde Vej; men han vendte om og gjorde Højenes Præster af Folket i Flæng; hvem der havde Lyst, hans Haand fyldte han, og de bleve Præster paa Højene.
After these words, Jeroboam did not turn back from his very evil way. Instead, to the contrary, he made priests for the high places out of the least of the people. Whosoever was willing, he filled his hand, and he became a priest of the high places.
34 Og denne Gerning blev Jeroboams Hus til Synd, saa at det skulde udslettes og udryddes af Jorderige.
And for this reason, the house of Jeroboam sinned, and was uprooted, and was wiped from the face of the earth.
