Første Kongebog 18
1 Lang Tid efter, i det tredje Aar, kom HERRENS Ord saaledes: »Gaa hen og træd frem for Akab, saa vil jeg sende Regn over Jorden!«
And it was days many and [the] word of Yahweh it came to Elijah in the year third saying go present yourself to Ahab so let me give rain on [the] surface of the ground.
2 Da gav Elias sig paa Vej for at træde frem for Akab. Da Hungersnøden blev trykkende i Samaria,
And he went Elijah to present himself to Ahab and the famine [was] severe in Samaria.
3 kaldte Akab Paladsøversten Obadja til sig. Obadja var en Mand, der alvorligt frygtede HERREN,
And he summoned Ahab Obadiah who [was] over the household and Obadiah he was fearing Yahweh exceedingly.
4 og dengang Jesabel lod HERRENS Profeter udrydde, tog han og skjulte hundrede Profeter, halvtredsindstyve i een Hule og halvtredsindstyve i en anden, og sørgede for Brød og Vand til dem.
And it was when cut off Jezebel [the] prophets of Yahweh and he took Obadiah one hundred prophets and he hid them fifty man in the cave and he supplied them food and water.
5 Akab sagde nu til Obadja: »Kom, lad os drage rundt i Landet til alle Vandkilder og Bække, om vi mulig kan finde saa meget Græs, at vi kan holde Liv i Hestene og Muldyrene og slippe for at dræbe noget af Dyrene!«
And he said Ahab to Obadiah go in the land to all [the] springs of water and to all the wadis perhaps - we will find grass so we may preserve alive horse and mule and not we will cut off any of the livestock.
6 Saa delte de Landet, som de skulde gennemvandre, mellem sig, saaledes at Akab og Obadja drog hver sin Vej.
And they divided to themselves the land to pass in it Ahab he went in a direction one to only him and Obadiah he went in a direction one to only him.
7 Medens nu Obadja var undervejs, se, da traadte Elias ham i Møde; Obadja genkendte ham og faldt paa sit Ansigt og sagde: »Er det dig, min Herre Elias?«
And he was Obadiah on the way and there! Elijah to meet him and he recognized him and he fell on face his and he said ¿ you [is] this O lord my Elijah.
8 Han svarede: »Ja, det er mig! Gaa hen og sig til din Herre, at Elias er her!«
And he said to him [it is] I go say to master your here! Elijah.
9 Men han sagde: »Hvormed har jeg dog syndet, siden du vil give din Træl i Akabs Haand, for at han kan slaa mig ihjel?
And he said what? have I sinned that you [are] giving servant your in [the] hand of Ahab to put to death me.
10 Saa sandt HERREN din Gud lever, der er ikke et Folk eller Rige, min Herre ikke har sendt Bud til for at lede efter dig; og blev der sagt, at du ikke var der, tog han Riget og Folket i Ed paa, at de ikke havde fundet dig.
[by] [the] life - Of Yahweh God your if there [is] a nation and a kingdom where not he has sent master my there to seek you and they said not and he made swear the kingdom and the nation that not it has found you.
11 Og nu siger du, at jeg skal gaa hen og sige til min Herre, at Elias er her!
And now you [are] saying go say to master your here! Elijah.
12 Hvis nu HERRENS Aand, naar jeg har forladt dig, fører dig bort til et Sted, jeg ikke kender, og jeg kommer og melder det til Akab, og han ikke finder dig, lader han mig dræbe. Og din Træl har dog frygtet HERREN fra Ungdommen af!
And it will be I - I will go from with you and [the] spirit of Yahweh - it will carry away you to where not I know and I will go to tell to Ahab and not he will find you and he will kill me and servant your [is] fearing Yahweh since youth my.
13 Er det ikke kommet min Herre for Øre, hvad jeg gjorde, da Jesabel lod HERRENS Profeter dræbe, hvorledes jeg skjulte hundrede af HERRENS Profeter, halvtredsindstyve i een Hule og halvtredsindstyve i en anden, og sørgede for Brød og Vand til dem?
¿ Not has it been told to lord my [that] which I did when killed Jezebel [the] prophets of Yahweh and I hid of [the] prophets of Yahweh one hundred man fifty fifty man in the cave and I supplied them food and water.
14 Og nu siger du, at jeg skal gaa hen og sige til din Herre, at Elias er her — han lader mig dræbe!«
And now you [are] saying go say to master your here! Elijah and he will kill me.
15 Da sagde Elias: »Saa sandt Hærskarers HERRE lever, han, for hvis Aasyn jeg staar, i Dag vil jeg træde frem for ham.«
And he said Elijah [by] [the] life of Yahweh of hosts whom I stand before him for this day I will present myself to him.
16 Obadja gik da Akab i Møde og meldte ham det, og Akab gik Elias i Møde.
And he went Obadiah to meet Ahab and he told to him and he went Ahab to meet Elijah.
17 Da Akab fik Øje paa Elias, sagde han til ham: »Er det dig, du, som bringer Ulykke over Israel!«
And it was when saw Ahab Elijah and he said Ahab to him ¿ you [is] this O [one who] troubles Israel.
18 Men han svarede: »Det er ikke mig, der har bragt Ulykke over Israel, men dig og din Faders Hus, fordi I har forladt HERREN og holder eder til Ba'alerne!
And he said not I have troubled Israel that except you and [the] household of father your because have forsaken you [the] commandments of Yahweh and you have walked after the Baals.
19 Men send nu Bud og kald hele Israel sammen til mig paa Karmels Bjerg og tillige de 450 Ba'alsprofeter og de 400 Asjeraprofeter, som spiser ved Jesabels Bord!«
And now send gather to me all Israel to [the] mountain of Carmel and [the] prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty and [the] prophets of Asherah four hundred [who] eat of [the] table of Jezebel.
20 Da sendte Akab Bud rundt til alle Israeliterne og samlede Profeterne paa Karmels Bjerg.
And he sent Ahab among all [the] people of Israel and he gathered the prophets to [the] mountain of Carmel.
21 Elias traadte saa frem for alt Folket og sagde: »Hvor længe vil I blive ved at halte til begge Sider? Er HERREN Gud, saa hold eder til ham, og er Ba'al Gud, saa hold eder til ham!« Men Folket svarede ham ikke et Ord.
And he drew near Elijah to all the people and he said until when? [will] you [be] limping on [the] two the crutches if Yahweh [is] God walk after him and if Baal walk after him and not they answered the people him a word.
22 Da sagde Elias til Folket: »Jeg er den eneste af HERRENS Profeter, der er tilbage, og Ba'als Profeter er 450 Mand;
And he said Elijah to the people I I am left a prophet of Yahweh to alone me and [the] prophets of Baal [are] four hundred and fifty man.
23 lad os nu faa to unge Tyre; saa skal de vælge den ene Tyr og hugge den i Stykker og lægge den paa Brændet, men Ild maa de ikke lægge til; den anden vil jeg lave til og lægge paa Brændet, men uden at tænde Ild.
And let people give to us two young bulls and let them choose for themselves the young bull one and let them cut in pieces it and they may put on the wood and fire not they will set and I I will prepare - the young bull one and I will put on the wood and fire not I will set.
24 Saa skal I paakalde eders Guds Navn, og jeg vil paakalde HERRENS Navn; den Gud, der svarer med Ild, han er Gud!« Alt Folket sagde: »Det Forslag er godt!«
And you will call on [the] name of god your and I I will call on [the] name of Yahweh and he will be the god who he will answer by fire he God and it answered all the people and they said [is] good the word.
25 Derpaa sagde Elias til Ba'als Profeter: »Vælg eder den ene Tyr og lav den til først, thi I er de mange, og paakald saa eders Guds Navn, men I maa ikke tænde Ild!«
And he said Elijah to [the] prophets of Baal choose for yourselves the young bull one and prepare [it] first for you [are] the many and call on [the] name of god your and fire not you will set.
26 Saa tog de Tyren og lavede den til og paakaldte Ba'als Navn fra Morgen til Middag, idet de raabte: »Hør os, Ba'al!« Men ikke en Lyd hørtes, der var ingen, som svarede; og de dansede haltende omkring det Alter, de havde opført.
And they took the young bull which someone gave to them and they prepared [it] and they called on [the] name of Baal from the morning and until the noontide saying O Baal answer us and there not [was] a sound and there not [was one who] answered and they limped around at the altar which he had made.
27 Men da det var blevet Middag, haanede Elias dem og sagde: »I maa raabe højt, thi han er jo en Gud! Han er vel faldet i Tanker eller gaaet afsides eller rejst bort, eller han er faldet i Søvn og maa først vaagne!«
And it was at the noontide and he mocked them Elijah and he said call out with a voice great for [is] a god he for musing and for a going away [belongs] to him and for a journey [belongs] to him perhaps [is] sleeping he so he may awake.
28 Da raabte de højt, og som de havde for Skik, saarede de deres Legemer med Sværd og Spyd, til Blodet flød ned ad dem.
And they called out with a voice great and they cut themselves according to custom their with swords and with lances until poured out blood over them.
29 Og da det var over Middag, begyndte de at rase, og det varede lige til hen imod Afgrødeofferets Tid, men ikke en Lyd hørtes, ingen svarede, og ingen agtede derpaa.
And it was when passed the noontide and they prophesied until goes up the offering and there not [was] a sound and there not [was one who] answered and there not [was] attention.
30 Da sagde Elias til alt Folket: »Kom hen til mig!« Og da alt Folket var kommet hen til ham, satte han HERRENS nedbrudte Alter i Stand.
And he said Elijah to all the people draw near to me and they drew near all the people to him and he repaired [the] altar of Yahweh that was torn down.
31 Elias tog tolv Sten, svarende til Tallet paa Jakobs Sønners Stammer, han, til hvem HERRENS Ord lød: »Israel skal dit Navn!«
And he took Elijah two [plus] ten stones according to [the] number of [the] tribes of [the] sons of Jacob whom it had come [the] word of Yahweh to him saying Israel it will be name your.
32 Og af disse Sten byggede han et Alter i HERRENS Navn og gravede rundt om Alteret en Rende paa omtrent to Sea Land.
And he built the stones an altar in [the] name of Yahweh and he made a trench like a receptacle of two seahs seed around the altar.
33 Derpaa lagde han Brændet tilrette, huggede Tyren i Stykker og lagde den paa Brændet.
And he arranged the wood and he cut it in pieces the young bull and he put [it] on the wood. And he said fill four jars water and pour [it] on the burnt offering and on the wood
34 Saa sagde han: »Fyld fire Krukker med Vand og hæld det ud over Brændofferet og Brændet!« Og da de havde gjort det, sagde han: »Een Gang til!« Og da de havde gjort det anden Gang, sagde han: »Een Gang til!« Og de gjorde det endnu en Gang.
and he said do again and they did again and he said do a third time and they did a third time.
35 Det drev af Vand rundt om Alteret, ogsaa Renden fik han fyldt med Vand.
And they went the waters around the altar and also the trench he filled water.
36 Men ved Afgrødeofferets Tid traadte Profeten Elias frem og sagde: »HERRE, Abrahams, Isaks og Israels Gud! Lad det kendes i Dag, at du er Gud i Israel og jeg din Tjener, og at jeg har gjort alt dette paa dit Ord!
And it was - when went up the offering and he drew near Elijah the prophet and he said O Yahweh [the] God of Abraham Isaac and Israel this day let it be known that you [are] God in Israel and I [am] servant your (and at word your *Q(K)*) I have done all the things these.
37 Hør mig, HERRE, hør mig, for at dette Folk maa kende, at du HERRE er Gud, og at du atter drager deres Hjerte til dig!«
Answer me O Yahweh answer me so they may know the people this that you O Yahweh [are] God and you you have turned around heart their backwards.
38 Da for HERRENS Ild ned og fortærede Brændofferet og Brændet og Stenene og Jorden; endog Vandet i Renden slikkede den bort.
And it fell [the] fire of Yahweh and it consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust and the water which [was] in the trench it licked up.
39 Da alt Folket saa det, faldt de paa deres Ansigt og raabte: »HERREN er Gud, HERREN er Gud!«
And it saw all the people and they fell on faces their and they said Yahweh he [is] God Yahweh he [is] God.
40 Men Elias sagde til dem: »Grib Ba'als Profeter, lad ingen af dem slippe bort!« Og de greb dem, og Elias førte dem ned til Kisjonbækken og dræbte dem der.
And he said Elijah to them seize - [the] prophets of Baal anyone may not he escape of them and they seized them and he brought down them Elijah to [the] wadi of Kishon and he slaughtered them there.
41 Derpaa sagde Elias til Akab: »Gaa op og spis og drik, thi der høres Susen af Regn.«
And he said Elijah to Ahab go up eat and drink for [the] sound of [the] noise of rain.
42 Da gik Akab op for at spise og drikke; men Elias gik op paa Karmels Top og bøjede sig til Jorden med Ansigtet mellem Knæene.
And he went up Ahab to eat and to drink and Elijah he went up to [the] top of Carmel and he crouched [the] ground towards and he put face his between (knees his. *Q(K)*)
43 Saa sagde han til sin Tjener: »Gaa op og se ud over Havet!« Og han gik op og saa ud, men sagde: »Der er intet!« Syv Gange sagde han til ham: »Gaa derop igen!« Og syv Gange vendte Tjeneren tilbage.
And he said to servant his go up please look [the] direction of [the] sea and he went up and he looked and he said there not [is] anything and he said go back seven times.
44 Men syvende Gang sagde han: »Nu stiger der en lille Sky op af Havet, saa stor som en Mands Haand!« Da sagde Elias: »Gaa hen og sig til Akab: Spænd for og kør hjem, at du ikke skal blive opholdt af Regnen!«
And it was at the seventh [time] and he said there! a cloud small like [the] hand of a person [is] coming up from [the] sea and he said go up say to Ahab harness and go down and not it will hold back you the rain.
45 Et Øjeblik efter var Himmelen sort af Stormskyer, og der faldt en voldsom Regn. Akab steg til Vogns og kørte til Jizre'el;
And it was - until thus and until thus and the heavens they grew dark clouds and wind and it was rain great and he rode Ahab and he went Jezreel towards.
46 men HERRENS Haand kom over Elias, saa han omgjordede sine Lænder og løb foran Akab lige til Jizre'el.
And [the] hand of Yahweh it was to Elijah and he girded up loins his and he ran before Ahab until coming you Jezreel towards.
