Første Kongebog 21
1 Og det skete efter disse Handeler, at Jisreeliteren Naboth havde en Vingaard, som var i Jisreel ved Akabs Palads, Kongens i Samaria.
Now Naboth the Jezreelite had a vine-garden in Jezreel, near the house of Ahab, king of Samaria.
2 Og Akab talede til Naboth og sagde: Giv mig din Vingaard, at den maa være mig til en Urtehave, efterdi den er nær ved mit Hus, og jeg vil give dig en Vingaard for den, som er bedre end denne; eller om dig godt synes, vil jeg give dig Penge for den, saa meget som den er værd.
And Ahab said to Naboth, Give me your vine-garden so that I may have it for a garden of sweet plants, for it is near my house; and let me give you a better vine-garden in exchange, or, if it seems good to you, let me give you its value in money.
3 Og Naboth sagde til Akab: Herren lade det være langt fra mig, at jeg skulde give dig mine Fædres Arv.
But Naboth said to Ahab, By the Lord, far be it from me to give you the heritage of my fathers.
4 Da kom Akab ilde tilfreds og vred til sit Hus for det Ords Skyld, søm Jisreeliteren Naboth havde talt til ham og sagt: Jeg vil ikke give dig mine Fædres Arv; og han lagde sig paa sin Seng og vendte sit Ansigt omkring og aad ikke Brød.
So Ahab came into his house bitter and angry because Naboth the Jezreelite had said to him, I will not give you the heritage of my fathers. And stretching himself on the bed with his face turned away, he would take no food.
5 Da kom Jesabel, hans Hustru, til ham, og hun sagde til ham: Hvad er det for noget, at din Aand er saa ilde tilfreds, at du ikke æder Brød?
But Jezebel, his wife, came to him and said, Why is your spirit so bitter that you have no desire for food?
6 Og han sagde til hende: Fordi jeg talte til Jisreeliteren Naboth og sagde til ham: Giv mig din Vingaard for Penge, eller om du har Lyst dertil, da vil jeg give dig en anden Vingaard for den, og han sagde: Jeg vil ikke give dig min Vingaard.
And he said to her, Because I was talking to Naboth the Jezreelite, and I said to him, Let me have your vine-garden for a price, or, if it is pleasing to you, I will give you another vine-garden for it: and he said, I will not give you my vine-garden.
7 Da sagde Jesabel, hans Hustru, til ham: Du, jo, du skulde nu have Kongemagt over Israel! staa op, æd Brød og lad dit Hjerte være vel til Mode, jeg vil give dig Jisreeliteren Naboths Vingaard.
Then Jezebel, his wife, said, Are you now the ruler of Israel? Get up, take food, and let your heart be glad; I will give you the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite.
8 Og hun skrev Breve i Akabs Navn og forseglede dem med hans Signet, og hun sendte Brevene til de ældste og til de ypperste, som vare i hans Stad, og som boede ved Naboth.
So she sent a letter in Ahab's name, stamped with his stamp, to the responsible men and the chiefs who were in authority with Naboth.
9 Og hun skrev i Brevene og sagde: Lader udraabe en Faste, og sætter Naboth øverst iblandt Folket!
And in the letter she said, Let a time of public sorrow be fixed, and put Naboth at the head of the people;
10 Og sætter to Mænd, Belials Børn, tværs overfor ham, som skulle vidne imod ham og sige: Du har bandet Gud og Kongen; og fører ham ud og stener ham, at han dør.
And get two good-for-nothing persons to come before him and give witness that he has been cursing God and the king. Then take him out and have him stoned to death.
11 Og de ældste Mænd og ypperste i hans Stad, som boede i hans Stad, gjorde, ligesom Jesabel havde ladet sige til dem, ligesom der var skrevet i Brevene, som hun havde sendt til dem.
So the responsible men and the chiefs who were in authority in his town, did as Jezebel had said in the letter she sent them.
12 Delode udraabe en Faste og satte Naboth øverst iblandt Folket.
They gave orders for a day of public sorrow, and put Naboth at the head of the people.
13 Og de to Mænd, de Belials Børn, kom og satte sig tværs overfor ham, og de Belials Mænd vidnede imod Naboth for Folket og sagde: Naboth bandede Gud og Kongen; og de førte ham ud uden for Staden og stenede ham med Stene, at han døde.
And the two good-for-nothing persons came in and took their seats before him and gave witness against Naboth, in front of the people, saying, Naboth has been cursing God and the king. Then they took him outside the town and had him stoned to death.
14 Og de sendte til Jesabel og lode sige: Naboth er stenet og er død.
And they sent word to Jezebel, saying, Naboth has been stoned and is dead.
15 Og det skete, der Jesabel hørte, at Naboth var stenet og var død, da sagde Jesabel til Akab: Staa op, tag til Eje Jisreeliteren Naboths Vingaard, som han vægrede sig ved at give dig for Penge; thi Naboth lever ikke, men er død.
Then Jezebel, hearing that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, said to Ahab, Get up and take as your heritage the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he would not give you for money, for Naboth is no longer living but is dead.
16 Og det skete, der Akab hørte, at Naboth var død, da stod Akab op at gaa ned i Jisreeliteren Naboths Vingaard for at tage den til Eje.
So Ahab, hearing that Naboth was dead, went down to the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite to take it as his heritage.
17 Og Herrens Ord skete til Thisbiteren Elias og sagde:
And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18 Staa op, gak ned imod Akab, Israels Konge, som er i Samaria; se, han er i Naboths Vingaard, hvorhen han er gaaet ned for at tage den til Ejendom.
Go down to Ahab, king of Israel, in Samaria; see, he is in the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite, where he has gone to take it as his heritage.
19 Og du skal tale til ham og sige: Saaledes sagde Herren: Har du baade myrdet og tilmed taget en Ejendom? Fremdeles skal du tale til ham og sige: Saa siger Herren: Paa det Sted, hvor Hundene slikkede Naboths Blod, skulle Hundene slikke dit Blod, ja ogsaa dit.
Say to him, The Lord says, Have you put a man to death and taken his heritage? Then say to him, The Lord says, In the place where dogs have been drinking the blood of Naboth, there will your blood become the drink of dogs.
20 Og Akab sagde til Elias: Har du fundet mig, min Fjende? Og han sagde: Jeg har fundet dig, fordi du har solgt dig selv til at gøre det onde for Herrens Øjne.
And Ahab said to Elijah, Have you come face to face with me, O my hater? And he said, I have come to you because you have given yourself up to do evil in the eyes of the Lord.
21 Se, jeg vil føre Ulykke over dig og borttage dine Efterkommere og udrydde af alt Akabs Hus enhver af Mandkøn og den bundne og den løsladte i Israel.
See, I will send evil on you and put an end to you completely, cutting off from Ahab every male child, him who is shut up and him who goes free in Israel;
22 Og jeg vil gøre dit Hus som Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Hus, og som Baesas, Ahias Søns, Hus, for den Opirrelses Skyld, som du har opirret mig med, og fordi du kom Israel til at synde.
And I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and like the family of Baasha, the son of Ahijah, because you have made me angry, and have made Israel do evil.
23 Og om Jesabel har Herren ogsaa talt og sagt: Hundene skulle æde Jesabel inden Jisreels Mure.
And of Jezebel the Lord said, Jezebel will become food for dogs in the heritage of Jezreel.
24 Hvo som dør i Staden af Akabs Hus, skulle Hundene æde, og hvo som dør paa Marken, skulle Fuglene under Himmelen æde.
Any man of the family of Ahab who comes to his death in the town will become food for the dogs; and he who comes to his death in the open country will be food for the birds of the air.
25 Dog var der ingen som Akab, der havde solgt sig selv til at gøre det onde for Herrens Øjne, fordi hans Hustru Jesabel tilskyndte ham;
(There was no one like Ahab, who gave himself up to do evil in the eyes of the Lord, moved to it by Jezebel his wife.
26 og han handlede saare vederstyggeligt, idet han vandrede efter de stygge Afguder, aldeles ligesom Amoriterne gjorde, hvilke Herren fordrev for Israels Børns Ansigt.
He did a very disgusting thing in going after false gods, doing all the things the Amorites did, whom the Lord sent out before the children of Israel.)
27 Og det skete, der Akab hørte disse Ord, da sønderrev han sine Klæder og lagde Sæk om sin Krop og fastede, og han laa i Sæk og gik sagtelig.
Hearing these words, Ahab, in great grief, put haircloth on his flesh and went without food, sleeping in haircloth, and going about quietly.
28 Og Herrens Ord skete til Thisbiteren Elias og sagde:
Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
29 Har du set, at Akab har ydmyget sig for mit Ansigt? fordi han har ydmyget sig for mit Ansigt, vil jeg ikke lade det onde komme i hans Dage; i hans Søns Dage vil jeg føre det onde over hans Hus.
Do you see how Ahab has made himself low before me? because he has made himself low before me, I will not send the evil in his life-time, but in his son's time I will send the evil on his family.
