Første Kongebog 16

1 Og Herrens Ord skete til Jehu, Hananis Søn, imod Baesa saaledes:

Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha, saying:

2 Fordi jeg ophøjede dig af Støvet og satte dig til en Fyrste over mit Folk Israel, og du vandrede i Jeroboams Vej og kom mit Folk Israel til at synde, til at opirre mig med deres Synder:

“Even though I lifted you out of the dust and made you ruler over My people Israel, you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have caused My people Israel to sin and to provoke Me to anger by their sins.

3 Se, saa borttager jeg Baesas Efterkommere og hans Hus's Efterkommere, og jeg vil gøre ved dit Hus ligesom ved Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Hus.

So now I will consume Baasha and his house, and I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat:

4 Den, som dør af Baesas i Staden, skulle Hundene æde, og den, der dør af hans paa Marken, skulle Himmelens Fugle æde.

Anyone belonging to Baasha who dies in the city will be eaten by dogs, and anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the air.”

5 Men det øvrige af Baesas Handeler, og hvad han har gjort, og hans Vælde, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Israels Kongers Krønikers Bog?

As for the rest of the acts of Baasha, along with his accomplishments and might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

6 Og Baesa laa med sine Fædre og blev begraven i Thirza, og hans Søn Ela blev Konge i hans Sted.

And Baasha rested with his fathers and was buried in Tirzah, and his son Elah reigned in his place.

7 Saa skete ogsaa Herrens Ord ved Jehu, Hananis Søn, Profeten, over Baesa og over hans Hus, baade for alt det onde, som han gjorde for Herrens Øjne til at opirre ham ved sine Hænders Gerning, saa at han blev ligesom Jeroboams Hus, og fordi han havde slaaet dette.

Moreover, the word of the LORD came through the prophet Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha and his house, because of all the evil he had done in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger with the work of his hands and becoming like the house of Jeroboam, and also because Baasha had struck down the house of Jeroboam.

8 I det seks og tyvende Asas, Judas Konges, Aar blev Ela, Baesas Søn, Konge over Israel i Thirza, i to Aar.

In the twenty-sixth year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Elah son of Baasha became king of Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah two years.

9 Og hans Tjener Simri, Høvedsmand over Halvdelen af Vognene, gjorde et Forbund imod ham, medens han i Thirza drak og var drukken i Arzas Hus, som var Hovmester i Thirza.

However, while Elah was in Tirzah getting drunk in the house of Arza the steward of his household there, Elah’s servant Zimri, the commander of half his chariots, conspired against him.

10 Og Simri kom og slog ham og dræbte ham i det syv og tyvende Asas, Judas Konges, Aar, og blev Konge i hans Sted.

So in the twenty-seventh year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Zimri went in, struck Elah down, and killed him. And Zimri reigned in his place.

11 Og det skete, der han var bleven Konge, der han sad paa sin Trone, da slog han det ganske Baesas Hus, han lod ingen blive tilovers for ham af alt Mandkøn, hverken hans næste Slægtninge eller hans Venner.

As soon as Zimri began to reign and was seated on the throne, he struck down the entire household of Baasha. He did not leave a single male, whether a kinsman or friend.

12 Saa ødelagde Simri hele Baesas Hus, efter Herrens Ord, som han talte til Baesa ved Jehu, Profeten,

So Zimri destroyed the entire household of Baasha, according to the word that the LORD had spoken against Baasha through Jehu the prophet.

13 for alle Baesas Synders og Elas, hans Søns, Synders Skyld, hvormed de syndede, og hvormed de kom Israel til at synde, saa at de opirrede Herren Israels Gud ved deres Afguder.

This happened because of all the sins Baasha and his son Elah had committed and had caused Israel to commit, provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their worthless idols.

14 Men det øvrige af Elas Handeler, og alt det, han har gjort, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Israels Kongers Krønikers Bog?

As for the rest of the acts of Elah, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

15 I det syv og tyvende Asas, Judas Konges, Aar blev Simri Konge i Thirza i syv Dage; men Folket havde lejret sig imod Gibbethon, som var Filisternes.

In the twenty-seventh year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Zimri reigned in Tirzah for seven days. Now the troops were encamped against Gibbethon of the Philistines,

16 Der Folket, som havde lejret sig der, hørte sige: Simri har gjort et Forbund og slaget Kongen ihjel, da gjorde al Israel paa den samme Dag Omri, Stridshøvedsmanden, til Konge over Israel i Lejren.

and the people in the camp heard that Zimri had not only conspired but had also struck down the king. So there in the camp that very day, all Israel proclaimed Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel.

17 Og Omri drog op og al Israel med ham fra Gibbethon og belejrede Thirza.

Then Omri and all the Israelites marched up from Gibbethon and besieged Tirzah.

18 Og det skete, der Simri saa, at Staden var indtagen, da gik han ind i Kongens Hus's Palads og opbrændte over sig Kongens Hus med Ild og døde

When Zimri saw that the city was captured, he entered the citadel of the royal palace and burned it down upon himself. So he died

19 for sine Synders Skyld, hvormed han havde forsyndet sig, idet han gjorde det onde for Herrens Øjne og vandrede i Jeroboams Vej og i hans Synd, som han forsyndede sig med, og hvormed han bragte Israel til at synde.

because of the sins he had committed, doing evil in the sight of the LORD and following the example of Jeroboam and the sin he had committed and had caused Israel to commit.

20 Men det øvrige af Simris Handeler og hans Forbund, som han stiftede, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Israels Kongers Krønikers Bog?

As for the rest of the acts of Zimri and the treason he committed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

21 Da delte Israels Folk sig i to Dele, Halvdelen af Folket holdt med Thibni, Ginaths Søn, for at gøre ham til Konge, og Halvdelen holdt med Omri.

At that time the people of Israel were divided: Half of the people supported Tibni son of Ginath as king, and half supported Omri.

22 Men det Folk, som holdt med Omri, blev stærkere end det Folk, som holdt med Thibni, Ginaths Søn; og Thibni døde, og Omri blev Konge.

But the followers of Omri proved stronger than those of Tibni son of Ginath. So Tibni died and Omri became king.

23 I det et og tredivte Asas, Judas Konges, Aar blev Omri Konge over Israel i tolv Aar; i Thirza regerede han i seks Aar.

In the thirty-first year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned twelve years, six of them in Tirzah.

24 Og han købte Samarias Bjerg af Semer for to Centner Sølv og byggede paa Bjerget og kaldte Stadens Navn, som han byggede, efter Semers Navn, som havde været Herre over Bjerget, Samaria.

He bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver and built a city there, calling it Samaria after the name of Shemer, who had owned the hill.

25 Og Omri gjorde det onde for Herrens Øjne, ja han gjorde ondt fremfor alle, som havde været før ham.

But Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD and acted more wickedly than all who were before him.

26 Og han vandrede i al Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Vej og i hans Synder, hvormed han kom Israel til at synde, saa at de opirrede Herren, Israels Gud med deres Afguder.

For he walked in all the ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat and in his sins, which he caused Israel to commit, provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their worthless idols.

27 Men det øvrige af Omris Handeler, hvad han gjorde, og hans Magt, hvilken han skaffede sig, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Israels Kongers Krønikers Bog?

As for the rest of the acts of Omri, along with his accomplishments and the might he exercised, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

28 Og Omri laa med sine Fædre og blev begraven i Samaria, og Akab, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.

And Omri rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab reigned in his place.

29 Og i det otte og tredivte Asas, Judas Konges, Aar blev Akab, Omris Søn, Konge over Israel, og Akab, Omris Søn, regerede over Israel i Samaria to og tyve Aar.

In the thirty-eighth year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Ahab son of Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria twenty-two years.

30 Og Akab, Omris Søn, gjorde det onde for Herrens Øjne fremfor alle, som havde været før ham.

However, Ahab son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD, more than all who were before him.

31 Og det skete, som var det ham for lidet, at han vandrede i Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Synder, at han tog til Hustru Jesabel, Eth-Baals, Zidoniernes Konges Datter, og han gik hen og tjente Baal og tilbad ham.

And as if it were not enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, he even married Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and he then proceeded to serve and worship Baal.

32 Og han oprejste Baal et Alter i Baals Hus, som han byggede i Samaria.

First, Ahab set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he had built in Samaria.

33 Akab gjorde og Astartebilledet, og Akab gjorde mere til at opirre Herren, Israels Gud, end alle Israels Konger, som vare før ham.

Then he set up an Asherah pole. Thus Ahab did more to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel before him.

34 I hans Dage byggede Betheliteren Hiel Jeriko; det kostede ham Abiram, hans førstefødte Søn, der han lagde dens Grundvold, og Segub, hans yngste Søn, der han satte dens Porte, efter Herrens Ord, som han havde talet ved Josva, Nuns Søn.

In Ahab’s days, Hiel the Bethelite rebuilt Jericho. At the cost of Abiram his firstborn he laid its foundation, and at the cost of Segub his youngest he set up its gates, according to the word that the LORD had spoken through Joshua son of Nun.
