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 Baasa, 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:

Forasmuch as I have exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel, and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with 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 Baasa, and the posterity of his house, and I will make thy house as the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat.

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

Him that dieth of Baasa in the city, the dogs shall eat: and him that dieth of his in the country, the fowls of the air shall devour.

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?

But the rest of the acts of Baasa and all that he did, and his battles, are they 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.

So Baasa slept with his fathers, and was buried in Thersa: and Ela his son reigned in his stead.

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 came in the hand of Jehu the son of Hanani the prophet, against Baasa, and against his house, and against all the evil that he had done before the Lord, to provoke him to anger by the works of his hands, to become as the house of Jeroboam: for this cause he slew him, that is to say, Jehu the son of Hanani, the prophet.

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

In the six and twentieth year of Asa king of Juda, Ela the son of Baasa reigned over Israel in Thersa 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 Zambri, who was captain of half the horsemen, rebelled against him: now Ela was drinking in Thersa, and drunk in the house of Arsa the governor of Thersa.

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.

And Zambri rushing in, struck him and slew him in the seven and twentieth year of Asa king of Juda, and he reigned in his stead.

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 was king and sat upon his throne, he slew all the house of Baasa, and he left not one thereof to piss against a wall, and all his kinsfolks and friends.

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

And Zambri destroyed all the house of Baasa, according to the word of the Lord, that he had spoken to Baasa in the hand of 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.

For all the sins of Baasa, and the sins of Ela his son, who sinned, and made 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 acts of Ela, and all that he did, are they 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 seven and twentieth year of Asa king of Juda, Zambri reigned seven days in Thersa: now the army was besieging Gebbethon 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 heard that Zambri had rebelled, and slain the king, all Israel made Amri their king, who was general over Israel in the camp that day.

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

And Amri went up, and all Israel with him from Gebbethon, and they besieged Thersa.

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

And Zambri seeing that the city was about to be taken, went into the palace and burnt himself with the king’s 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, wherewith he made 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 acts of Zambri, and of his conspiracy and tyranny, are they 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 were the people of Israel divided into two parts: one half of the people followed Thebni the son of Gineth, to make him king: and one half followed Amri.

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 that were with Amri, prevailed over the people that followed Thebni the son of Gineth: and Thebni died, and Amri 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 one and thirtieth year of Asa king of Juda, Amri reigned over Israel twelve years: in Thersa he reigned six years.

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 hill of Samaria of Semer for two talents of silver: and he built upon it, and he called the city which he built Samaria, after the name of Semer the owner of the hill.

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

And Amri did evil in the sight of the Lord, and acted wickedly above all that 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.

And he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and in his sins wherewith he made Israel to sin: to provoke the Lord the God of Israel to anger with 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 acts of Amri, and the battles he fought, are they 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 Amri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria, and Achab his son reigned in his stead.

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.

Now Achab the son of Amri reigned over Israel in the eight and thirtieth year of Asa king of Juda. And Achab the son of Amri reigned over Israel in Samaria two and twenty years.

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

And Achab the son of Amri did evil in the sight of the Lord above all that 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.

Nor was it enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat: but he also took to wife Jezabel daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians. And he went, and 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 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.

And he planted a grove: and Achab did more to provoke the Lord the God of Israel, than all the kings of Israel that were 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 of Bethel built Jericho: in Abiram his firstborn he laid its foundations: and in his youngest son Segub he set up the gates thereof: according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke in the hand of Josue the son of Nun.
