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.
After these things, Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel, next 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.
Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.”
3 Og Naboth sagde til Akab: Herren lade det være langt fra mig, at jeg skulde give dig mine Fædres Arv.
Naboth said to Ahab, “May Yahweh forbid me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!”
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.
Ahab came into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him, for he had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He laid himself down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
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 your spirit so sad that you eat no bread?”
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.
He said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ He answered, ‘I will not give you 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.
Jezebel his wife said to him, “Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry. I will give you 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 who were in his city, who lived with Naboth.
9 Og hun skrev i Brevene og sagde: Lader udraabe en Faste, og sætter Naboth øverst iblandt Folket!
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.
Set two men, wicked fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, ‘You cursed God and the king!’ Then carry him out, and stone him 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.
The men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had instructed them in the letters which she had written and 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.
The two men, the wicked fellows, came in and sat before him. The wicked fellows testified against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king!” Then they carried him out of the city and stoned him to death with stones.
14 Og de sendte til Jesabel og lode sige: Naboth er stenet og er død.
Then they sent 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.
When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you 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.
When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, Ahab rose up 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:
Yahweh’s word 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 dwells in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has 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.
You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Yahweh says, “Have you killed and also taken possession?”’ You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Yahweh says, “In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will lick your blood, even yours.”’”
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.
Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” He answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in Yahweh’s sight.
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 on you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, and him who is shut up and him who is left at large 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.
I will make your 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 you have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.”
23 Og om Jesabel har Herren ogsaa talt og sagt: Hundene skulle æde Jesabel inden Jisreels Mure.
Yahweh also spoke of Jezebel, saying, “The dogs will eat Jezebel by the rampart 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.
The dogs will eat he who dies of Ahab in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field.”
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 no one like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, 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.
He did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom Yahweh 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.
When Ahab heard those words, he tore his clothes, put sackcloth on his body, fasted, lay in sackcloth, and went about despondently.
28 Og Herrens Ord skete til Thisbiteren Elias og sagde:
Yahweh’s word 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.
“See how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but I will bring the evil on his house in his son’s day.”
