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.
And it came to pass after these events, that Naboth the Yizre'elite had a vineyard, which was in Yizre'el, near the palace of Achab the 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 Achab spoke unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that it may serve me for a herb-garden, because it is near unto my house; and I will give thee in its stead a vineyard better than it; [or, ] if it seem good in thy eyes, I will give thee the money, the value of the same.
3 Og Naboth sagde til Akab: Herren lade det være langt fra mig, at jeg skulde give dig mine Fædres Arv.
And Naboth said to Achab, Far be it from me before the Lord, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
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.
And Achab came into his house low-spirited and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Yizre'elite had spoken to him, when he said, I will not give unto thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid himself down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat 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 Izebel his wife came to him, and spoke unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad! and why eatest thou no 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 unto her, Because I spoke unto Naboth the Yizre'elite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee a vineyard in its stead; but he hath said, I will not give unto thee my vineyard.
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 said unto him Izebel his wife, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, eat bread, and let thy heart be merry: I will myself give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre'elite.
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 wrote letters in Achab's name, and sealed them with his seal; and she sent the letters unto the elders and unto the nobles who were in his city, and who dwelt near Naboth.
9 Og hun skrev i Brevene og sagde: Lader udraabe en Faste, og sætter Naboth øverst iblandt Folket!
And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and cause Naboth to sit 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 seat two men, worthless fellows, opposite to him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, Thou hast blasphemed God and the king; and then lead him forth, and stone him, that he may die.
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.
And the men of his city, the elders and the nobles, those who dwelt in his city, did as Izebel had sent unto them, as was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
12 Delode udraabe en Faste og satte Naboth øverst iblandt Folket.
They proclaimed a fast, and caused Naboth to sit 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 there came in two men, worthless fellows, and seated themselves opposite to him; and these worthless men testified against him, against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth hath blasphemed God and the king. Then they led him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
14 Og de sendte til Jesabel og lode sige: Naboth er stenet og er død.
And they sent to Izebel, saying, Naboth hath 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.
And it came to pass, when Izebel heard that Naboth had been stoned, and was dead, that Izebel said to Achab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre'elite, which he refused to give thee for money; for Naboth is not alive, but 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.
And it came to pass, when Achab heard that Naboth was dead, that Achab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre'elite, to take possession of it.
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.
Arise, go down to meet Achab the king of Israel, who is in Samaria; behold he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to take possession of it.
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.
And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, Hast thou murdered, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, In the place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall the dogs lick thy blood, yes, thine also.
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 Achab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to do what is 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.
Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and I will sweep out after thee, and will cut off from Achab every male, and the guarded and fortified 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 thy house like the house of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, and like the house of Ba'sha the son of Achiyah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked [me] to anger, and induced Israel to sin.
23 Og om Jesabel har Herren ogsaa talt og sagt: Hundene skulle æde Jesabel inden Jisreels Mure.
And also concerning Izebel hath the Lord spoken, saying, The dogs shall eat Izebel in the valley of Yizre'el.
24 Hvo som dør i Staden af Akabs Hus, skulle Hundene æde, og hvo som dør paa Marken, skulle Fuglene under Himmelen æde.
Him that dieth of Achab in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the heavens eat.
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;
But indeed there was none like unto Achab, who sold himself to do what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, to which Izebel his wife incited him.
26 og han handlede saare vederstyggeligt, idet han vandrede efter de stygge Afguder, aldeles ligesom Amoriterne gjorde, hvilke Herren fordrev for Israels Børns Ansigt.
And he acted very abominably in following the idols, in all things just as had done the Emorites, whom the Lord had driven out from 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.
And it came to pass, when Achab heard these words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and slept in the sackcloth, and walked about barefooted.
28 Og Herrens Ord skete til Thisbiteren Elias og sagde:
And 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.
Hast thou seen how Achab hath humbled himself before me? therefore, because he hath humbled himself before me, will I not bring the evil in his days: in the days of his son will I bring the evil upon his house.
