Første Kongebog 16

1 Men til Jehu, Hananis Søn, kom HERRENs ord mod Ba'sja således:

And the word of Jehovah 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, så de krænker mig ved deres Synder;

Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel, and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, provoking me to anger with their sins;

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

behold, I will take away Baasha and his house, and will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

4 den af Basjas Slægt, som dør i Byen, skal Hundene æde, og den, som dør på Marken, skal Himmelens Fugle æde!"

Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat, and him that dieth of his in the field shall the fowl of the heavens eat.

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

And the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

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

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

7 Desuden kom HERRENs Ord ved Profeten Jehu, Hananis Søn, mod Ba'sja og hans Hus både på 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.

And also through the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani the word of Jehovah came against Baasha, and against his house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of Jehovah, provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he had smitten him.

8 I Kong Asa af Judas seks og tyvende Regeringsår blev Ela, Ba'sjas Søn, Konge over Israel, og han herskede to År 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 Så 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,

And his servant Zimri, captain of half [his] chariots, conspired against him; and he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was the steward of his house in Tirzah;

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

and Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned in his stead.

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

And it came to pass when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not a male, neither of his kinsmen nor of his friends.

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

And Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke against Baasha through Jehu the prophet,

13 for alle de Synders Skyld, som Ba'sja og hans Søn Ela havde begået og forledt Israel til, så 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 wherewith they made Israel to sin, provoking Jehovah the God of Israel to anger with their vanities.

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

And the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

15 I Kong Asa af Judas syv og tyvende Regeringsår blev Zimri Konge, og han herskede syv Dage i Tirza. Hæren var på 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 encamped against Gibbethon, which [belonged] to the Philistines.

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

And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri has conspired, and has also smitten the king; and all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.

17 Derpå hrød Omri op med hele Israel fra Gibbeton og begyndte at belejre Tirza;

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

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

And it came to pass when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the citadel of the king's house, and burned the king's house over him with fire;

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

and he died for his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of Jehovah, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, making Israel to sin.

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

And the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his conspiracy which he wrought, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

21 Ved den Tid delte Israels Folk sig, idet den ene Halvdel slutfede sig fil Tibni, Ginats Søn, og udråbte 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 that followed Omri overcame the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath; and Tibni died, and Omri reigned.

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

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

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

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

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

And Omri wrought evil in the sight of Jehovah, and did worse than all that were before him.

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

And he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins wherewith he made Israel to sin, provoking Jehovah 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, står jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.

And the rest of the acts of Omri, what he did, and his might which he shewed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

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

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

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

And Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel in the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah; 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.

And Ahab the son of Omri wrought evil in the sight of Jehovah more than 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 Zidoniemes Konge Etba'al, og gik hen og dyrkede Ba'al og tilbad ham.

And it came to pass, as if it was 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 Zidonians; and he went and served Baal and worshipped him.

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

And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he 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. -

And Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did more to provoke Jehovah the God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.

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

In his days Hiel the Bethelite built Jericho; he laid its foundation in Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates in Segub his youngest, according to the word of Jehovah which he spoke through Joshua the son of Nun.
