Første Kongebog 16
1 Og Herrens Ord skete til Jehu, Hananis Søn, imod Baesa saaledes:
The word of Yahweh 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:
“Although I exalted you out of the dust and made you leader over my people Israel, you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have made my people Israel to sin, so as 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.
See, I will completely sweep away Baasha and his family and I will make your family like the family 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.
The dogs will eat anyone belonging to Baasha who dies in the city, and the birds of the sky will eat anyone who dies in the fields.”
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 other matters concerning Baasha, what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the events 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.
Baasha slept with his ancestors and was buried in Tirzah, and Elah his son became king 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.
So by the prophet Jehu son of Hanani the word of Yahweh came against Baasha and his family, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of Yahweh, so as to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, like the family of Jeroboam, and also because he had killed all of Jeroboam's family.
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 king of Judah, Elah son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah; he reigned 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.
His servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now Elah was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in 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.
Zimri went in, attacked him and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and became king 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.
When Zimri began to reign and was seated on his throne, he killed all the family of Baasha. He did not leave alive a single male belonging to Baasha's relatives or friends.
12 Saa ødelagde Simri hele Baesas Hus, efter Herrens Ord, som han talte til Baesa ved Jehu, Profeten,
So Zimri destroyed all the family of Baasha, according to the word of Yahweh which he spoke against Baasha by 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 Baasha and the sins of Elah his son that they committed, and by which they had led Israel to sin, so that they provoked Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger with their 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 other matters concerning Elah, all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events 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 king of Judah, Zimri reigned only for seven days in Tirzah. Now the army was camped by Gibbethon, which belonged to 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.
The army camped there heard it said, “Zimri has plotted and has killed the king.” So that day in the camp, all Israel declared Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel.
17 Og Omri drog op og al Israel med ham fra Gibbethon og belejrede Thirza.
Omri went up from Gibbethon and all Israel with him, 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
So when Zimri saw that the city had been taken, he went into the fortress attached to the king's palace and set fire to the building over him; in this way he died in the flames.
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.
This was for the sins that he had committed in doing what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, by walking in the way of Jeroboam and in the sin that he had committed, so as to lead 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?
As for the other matters concerning Zimri, and the treason that he carried out, are they not written in the book of the events 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. Half of the people followed Tibni son of Ginath, to make him king, and half 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 followed Omri were stronger than the people who followed 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.
Omri began to reign over Israel in the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned twelve years. He reigned from Tirzah for 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.
He bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver. He built a city on the hill and called the name of the city Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the past owner of the hill.
25 Og Omri gjorde det onde for Herrens Øjne, ja han gjorde ondt fremfor alle, som havde været før ham.
Omri did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh and acted more wickedly than 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.
For he walked in all the ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat and in his sins by which he led Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to be angry 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 other matters concerning Omri which he did, and the might that he showed, are they not written in the book of the events 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.
So Omri slept with his ancestors and was buried in Samaria and Ahab his son became king 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 king of Judah, Ahab son of Omri began to reign over Israel. Ahab son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.
30 Og Akab, Omris Søn, gjorde det onde for Herrens Øjne fremfor alle, som havde været før ham.
Ahab son of Omri did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, more than all those 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.
It was to Ahab a trivial thing to walk in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, so he took as his wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians; he went and worshiped Baal and bowed down to him.
32 Og han oprejste Baal et Alter i Baals Hus, som han byggede i Samaria.
He built an altar for Baal in the house 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.
Ahab made an Asherah pole. Ahab did even more to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger than 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.
During Ahab's rule, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. Hiel laid the foundation of the city at the cost of the life of Abiram, his firstborn son; and Segub, his youngest son, lost his life while he was building the gates of the city, in keeping with the word of Yahweh which he spoke by Joshua son of Nun.
