Første Kongebog 16

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

Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu, the 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 exalted you from the dust, and I set you as ruler over my people Israel, still you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and you have caused my people Israel to sin, so that you have provoked me 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.

Behold, I will cut down the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house. And I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam, the 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.

Whoever will have died of Baasha in the city, the dogs will consume him. And whoever will have died of him in the countryside, the birds of the air will consume him.”

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?

Now the rest of the words of Baasha, and whatever he did, and his battles, were these not written in the book of the words of the days 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.

Then Baasha slept with his fathers, and he was buried at Tirzah. And Elah, his son, 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.

And when the word of the Lord had arrived by the hand of the prophet Jehu, the son of Hanani, against Baasha, and against his house, and against every evil that he had done before the Lord, so that he provoked him by the works of his hands, so that he became like the house of Jeroboam: for this reason, he killed him, that is, the prophet Jehu, the son of Hanani.

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, the king of Judah, Elah, the son of Baasha, reigned over Israel, at Tirzah, for 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.

And his servant Zimri, the commander of one half part of the horsemen, rebelled against him. Now Elah was drinking at Tirzah, and he became inebriated in the house of Arza, the prefect of Tirzah.

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.

Then Zimri, rushing in, struck him and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa, the king of Judah. And he 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.

And when he had reigned and had sat upon his throne, he struck down the entire house of Baasha. And he did not leave behind of them anything that urinates against a wall, among both close relatives and his friends.

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

And so, Zimri destroyed the entire house of Baasha, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken to Baasha, by the hand the prophet of Jehu,

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.

because of all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah, his son, who sinned and caused Israel to sin, provoking the Lord, the God of Israel, with their vanities.

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

But the rest of the words of Elah, and all that he did, were these not written in the book of the words of the days 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, the king of Judah, Zimri reigned for seven days in Tirzah. For the army was besieging Gibbethon, a city 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 when they had heard that Zimri had rebelled, and that he had killed the king, all of Israel made Omri as a king for themselves; he was the leader of the military over Israel in the encampment in that day.

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

Therefore, Omri ascended, and all of Israel with him, from Gibbethon, and they 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

Then Zimri, seeing that the city was about to be taken, entered the palace, and he set fire to himself along with the royal house. And 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.

in his sins, which he had sinned, doing evil before the Lord, and walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin, by which he caused Israel to sin.

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

But the rest of the words of Zimri, and of his treachery and tyranny, were these not written in the book of the words of the days 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.

Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts: one half part of the people followed Tibni, the son of Ginath, having appointed him as king, and one half part followed 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 people who were with Omri prevailed over the people who were following Tibni, the son of Ginath. And Tibni died, and Omri reigned.

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, the king of Judah, Omri reigned over Israel for twelve years; he reigned for six years at 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.

And he bought the mount of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver. And he built upon it, and he called the name of the city that he had built, Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the mount.

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 he wrought wickedness, beyond all who had been 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.

And he walked in all the ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and in his sins, by which he had caused Israel to sin, so that he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, by their vanities.

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?

Now the rest of the words of Omri, and his battles that he carried out, were these not written in the book of the words of the days 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 slept with his fathers, and he was buried in Samaria. And Ahab, his son, 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.

Truly, Ahab, the son of Omri, reigned over Israel in the thirty-eighth year of Asa, the king of Judah. And Ahab, the son of Omri, reigned over Israel at Samaria for twenty-two years.

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

And Ahab, the son of Omri, did evil in the sight of the Lord, beyond all who had been 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 it was not enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat. In addition, he took as a wife Jezebel, the daughter of Eth-baal, the king of the Sidonians. And he went astray, and he served Baal, and adored him.

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

And he set up an altar for Baal, in the temple of Baal, which he had built at Samaria.

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

And he planted a sacred grove. And Ahab added to his works, provoking the Lord, the God of Israel, beyond all the kings of Israel who had been 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 his days, Hiel from Bethel built up Jericho. With Abiram, his firstborn, he founded it, and with Segub, his youngest son, he set up its gates, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the hand of Joshua, the son of Nun.
