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 things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, close to the palace 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 spoke to Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near to my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seemeth good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
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 Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to 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 Ahab came into his house sad and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give 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 Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest 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 to her, Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it pleaseth thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give 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.
And Jezebel his wife said to him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat food, and let thy heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard 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 wrote letters in Ahab’s name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with 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 set Naboth on high among 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 set two men, worthless men, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, 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, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.
12 Delode udraabe en Faste og satte Naboth øverst iblandt Folket.
They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among 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 men, and sat before him: and the worthless men witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth blasphemed God and the king. Then they carried 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.
Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is 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 Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, 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 Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab arose to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, 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 Ahab king of Israel, who is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he is gone down to possess 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 to him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak to him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
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, Hast thou found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight 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 will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab the males, and him that is shut up and left 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 will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation with which thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.
23 Og om Jesabel har Herren ogsaa talt og sagt: Hundene skulle æde Jesabel inden Jisreels Mure.
And of Jezebel also spoke the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall 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.
Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air 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 there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
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 did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast 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.
And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
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.
Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son’s days will I bring the evil upon his house.
