Første Kongebog 16

1 Men til Jehu, Hananis Søn, kom HERRENS Ord mod Ba'sja saaledes:

The word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,

2 »Jeg ophøjede dig af Støvet og gjorde dig til Fyrste over mit Folk Israel, dog har du vandret i Jeroboams Spor og forledt mit Folk Israel til Synd, saa de krænker mig ved deres Synder;

"Because I exalted you out of the dust, and made you ruler over my people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and have made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;

3 se, derfor vil jeg nu feje Ba'sja og hans Hus bort og gøre det samme ved dit Hus, som jeg gjorde ved Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Hus;

look, I will utterly sweep away Baasha and his house; and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

4 den af Ba'sjas Slægt, som dør i Byen, skal Hundene æde, og den, som dør paa Marken, skal Himmelens Fugle æde!«

The dogs will eat Baasha's descendants who die in the city; and he who dies of his in the field the birds of the sky will eat."

5 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Ba'sja, hvad han gjorde, og hans Heltegerninger, staar jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.

Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

6 Saa lagde Ba'sja sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i Tirza; og hans Søn Ela blev Konge i hans Sted.

Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah; and Elah his son reigned in his place.

7 Desuden kom HERRENS Ord ved Profeten Jehu, Hananis Søn, mod Ba'sja og hans Hus baade paa Grund af alt det, han havde gjort, som var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, idet han krænkede ham ved sine Hænders Værk og efterlignede Jeroboams Hus, og tillige fordi han lod dette nedhugge.

Moreover by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he struck him.

8 I Kong Asa af Judas seks og tyvende Regeringsaar blev Ela, Ba'sjas Søn, Konge over Israel, og han herskede to Aar i Tirza.

In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah for two years.

9 Saa stiftede en af hans Mænd, Zimri, der var Fører for den ene Halvdel af Stridsvognene, en Sammensværgelse imod ham; og engang, da han i Tirza var beruset ved et Drikkelag i sin Paladsøverste Arzas Hus,

His servant Zimri, commander of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah.

10 trængte Zimri ind og slog ham ihjel — i Kong Asa af Judas syv og tyvende Regeringsaar — og blev Konge i hans Sted.

And Zimri went in and struck him, and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.

11 Da han var blevet Konge og havde besteget Tronen, lod han hele Ba'sjas Hus dræbe uden at levne et mandligt Væsen og tillige hans nærmeste Slægtninge og Venner;

It happened, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he struck all the house of Baasha: he did not leave him a single one who urinates on a wall, neither of his relatives, nor of his friends.

12 saaledes udryddede Zimri hele Ba'sjas Hus efter det Ord, HERREN havde talet til Ba'sja ved Profeten Jehu,

Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,

13 for alle de Synders Skyld, som Ba'sja og hans Søn Ela havde begaaet og forledt Israel til, saa at de krænkede HERREN, Israels Gud, ved deres Afguder.

for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned, and with which they made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.

14 Hvad der ellers er af fortælle om Ela, alt, hvad han gjorde, staar jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.

Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

15 I Kong Asa af Judas syv og tyvende Regeringsaar blev Zimri Konge, og han herskede syv Dage i Tirza. Hæren var paa det Tidspunkt ved at belejre Gibbeton, som tilhørte Filisterne;

In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were camped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.

16 og da nu Hæren under Belejringen hørte, at Zimri havde stiftet en Sammensværgelse mod Kongen og endda dræbt ham, udraabte hele Israel samme Dag i Lejren Omri, Israels Hærfører, til Konge.

The people who were camped heard it said, "Zimri has conspired, and has also struck the king." Therefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.

17 Derpaa brød Omri op med hele Israel fra Gibbeton og begyndte at belejre Tirza;

Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.

18 og da Zimri saa at Byen var taget, begav han sig ind i Kongens Palads og stak det i Brand over sig; saaledes døde han

It happened, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the citadel of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over him with fire, and died,

19 for de Synders Skyld, han havde begaaet, idet han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, og vandrede i Jeroboams Spor og i de Synder, han havde begaaet, da han forledte Israel til at synde.

for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.

20 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Zimri og den Sammensværgelse, han stiftede, staar jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.

Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he committed, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

21 Ved den Tid delte Israels Folk sig, idet den ene Halvdel sluttede sig til Tibni, Ginats Søn, og udraabte ham til Konge, medens den anden sluttede sig til Omri.

Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.

22 Men den Del af Folket, der sluttede sig til Omri, fik Overtaget over dem, der sluttede sig til Tibni, Ginats Søn, og da Tibni døde ved den Tid, blev Omri Konge.

But the people who followed Omri prevailed against the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath. So Tibni died and Joram his brother at that time, and Omri became king in the place of Tibni.

23 I Kong Asa af Judas een og tredivte Regeringsaar blev Omri Konge over Israel, og han herskede tolv Aar. Først herskede han seks Aar i Tirza;

In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel for twelve years. He reigned six years in Tirzah.

24 men siden købte han Samarias Bjerg af Semer for to Talenter Sølv og byggede paa Bjerget en By, som han efter Semer, Bjergets Ejer, kaldte Samaria.

He bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill, Samaria.

25 Omri gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, og handlede endnu værre end alle hans Forgængere;

Omri did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and dealt wickedly above all who were before him.

26 han vandrede helt i Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Spor og i de Synder, han havde forledt Israel til, saa at de krænkede HERREN, Israels Gud, ved deres Afguder.

For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins with which he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.

27 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Omri, alt, hvad han gjorde, og de Heltegerninger, han udførte, staar jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.

Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he showed, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

28 Saa lagde Omri sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i Samaria; og hans Søn Akab blev Konge i hans Sted.

So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son reigned in his place.

29 Akab, Omris Søn, blev Konge over Israel i Kong Asa af Judas otte og tredivte Regeringsaar, og Akab, Omris Søn, herskede to og tyve Aar over Israel i Samaria.

In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.

30 Akab, Omris Søn, gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, i højere Grad end alle hans Forgængere.

Ahab the son of Omri did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.

31 Og som om det ikke var nok med, at han vandrede i Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Synder, ægtede han oven i Købet Jesabel, en Datter af Zidoniernes Konge Etba'al, og gik hen og dyrkede Ba'al og tilbad ham.

It happened, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshiped him.

32 Han rejste Ba'al et Alter i Ba'alstemplet, som han lod bygge i Samaria.

He reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.

33 Og Akab lavede Asjerastøtten og gjorde endnu flere Ting, hvorved han krænkede HERREN, Israels Gud, værre end de Konger, der havde hersket før ham i Israel.

Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did yet more to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.

34 I hans Dage genopbyggede Beteliten Hiel Jeriko; efter det Ord, HERREN havde talet ved Josua, Nuns Søn, kostede det ham hans førstefødte Abiram at lægge Grunden og hans yngste Søn Segub at sætte dens Portfløje ind.

In his days Hiel the Bethelite built Jericho: he laid its foundation with the loss of Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates with the loss of his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.
