Første Kongebog 16

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

And a word of YHWH is to Jehu 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;

“Because that I have raised you up out of the dust, and appoint you leader over My people Israel, and you walk in the way of Jeroboam, and cause My people Israel to sin—to provoke 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 am putting away the posterity of Baasha, even the posterity of his house, and have given up your house as the house of Jeroboam 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!"

the dogs eat him who dies of Baasha in a city, and [the] bird of the heavens eats him who dies of his in a field.”

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 matters of Baasha, and that which he did, and his might, are they not written on the scroll 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 lies with his fathers, and is buried in Tirzah, and his son Elah reigns 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 by the hand of Jehu son of Hanani the prophet a word of YHWH has been concerning Baasha, and concerning his house, and concerning all the evil that he did in the eyes of YHWH to provoke Him to anger with the work of his hands, to be like the house of Jeroboam, and concerning that for which he struck 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 son of Baasha has reigned over Israel in Tirzah, 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 conspires against him (head of the half of the chariots) and he [is] in Tirzah drinking—a drunkard in the house of Arza, who [is] over the 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 comes in and strikes him, and puts him to death, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigns 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 comes to pass in his reigning, at his sitting on his throne, he has struck the whole house of Baasha; he has not left to him any sitting on the wall, and of his redeemers, and of his friends.

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

And Zimri destroys the whole house of Baasha, according to the word of YHWH that He spoke concerning Baasha, by the hand of 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.

concerning all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of his son Elah, that they sinned, and that they caused Israel to sin to provoke YHWH, God of Israel, 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 matters of Elah and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll 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 has reigned seven days in Tirzah; and the people are encamping 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 who are encamping hear, saying, “Zimri has conspired, and also has struck the king”; and all Israel causes Omri head of the host to reign over Israel on that day in the camp.

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

And Omri goes up, and all Israel with him, from Gibbethon, and they lay siege to 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 comes to pass, at Zimri’s seeing that the city has been captured, that he comes into a high place of the house of the king, and burns the house of the king over himself with fire, and he dies,

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.

for his sins that he sinned, to do evil in the eyes of YHWH, to walk in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin that he did, to cause 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 matters of Zimri and his conspiracy that he made, are they not written on the scroll 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 the sons of Israel are parted into halves; half of the people have been after Tibni son of Ginath to cause him to reign, and the [other] half after 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.

and the people that are after Omri are stronger than the people that are after Tibni son of Ginath, and Tibni dies, and Omri reigns.

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 has reigned over Israel twelve years; he has reigned in Tirzah six years,

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 buys the Mount of Samaria from Shemer with two talents of silver, and builds [on] the mountain, and calls the name of the city that he has built by the name of Shemer, lord of the hill—Samaria.

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

And Omri does evil in the eyes of YHWH, and does evil above all who [are] 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 walks in all the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and in his sin that he caused Israel to sin, to provoke YHWH, God of Israel, 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 matters of Omri that he did and his might that he exercised, are they not written on the scroll 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 lies with his fathers, and is buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab reigns 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 son of Omri has reigned over Israel in the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, and Ahab son of Omri reigns 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 son of Omri does evil in the eyes of YHWH above all who [are] 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 comes to pass, as if it had been trivial—his walking in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat—that he takes a wife, Jezebel daughter of Ethba‘al, king of the Zidonians, and goes and serves Ba‘al, and bows himself to it,

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

and raises up an altar for Ba‘al in the house of the Ba‘al, 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 makes the Asherah, and Ahab adds to do so as to provoke YHWH, God of Israel, above all the kings of Israel who have been 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 Beth-Elite has built Jericho; he laid its foundation with Abiram his firstborn, and he set up its doors with Segub his youngest, according to the word of YHWH that He spoke by the hand of Joshua son of Nun.
