Første Kongebog 21
1 Derefter hændte følgende. Jizrae'eliten Nabot havde en Vingård i Jizre'el lige ved Kong Akab af Samarias Palads.
And it comes to pass after these things, a vineyard has been to Naboth the Jezreelite, that [is] in Jezreel, near the palace of Ahab king of Samaria,
2 Akab sagde til Nabot: "Overlad mig din Vingård, for at jeg kan få den til Køkkenhave; den ligger jo lige ved mit Palads; jeg vil give dig en bedre Vingård i Bytte eller betale dig, hvad den er værd, i rede Penge, om du foretrækker det."
and Ahab speaks to Naboth, saying, “Give your vineyard to me, and it is for a garden of green herbs for me, for it [is] near by my house, and I give to you a better vineyard than it in its stead; if [this is] good in your eyes, I give to you its price [in] silver.”
3 Men Nabot svarede Akab: "HERREN bevare mig fra at overlade dig mine Fædres Arvelod!"
And Naboth says to Ahab, “Far be it from me, by YHWH, my giving the inheritance of my fathers to you”;
4 Så gik Akab hjem, misfornøjet og ilde til Mode over det Svar, Jizre'eliten Nabot havde givet ham: "Jeg vil ikke overlade dig mine Fædres Arvelod!" Og han lagde sig til Sengs, vendte sit Ansigt bort og spiste ikke.
and Ahab comes to his house, sulky and angry, because of the word that Naboth the Jezreelite has spoken to him when he says, “I do not give the inheritance of my fathers to you,” and he lies down on his bed, and turns around his face, and has not eaten bread.
5 Da kom hans Hustru Jesabel ind og sagde til ham: "Hvorfor er du så misfornøjet, og hvorfor spiser du ikke?"
And his wife Jezebel comes to him, and speaks to him, “Why [is] this [that] your spirit [is] sulky, and you are not eating bread?”
6 Han svarede hende: "Jo, jeg sagde til Jizreeliten Nabot: Overlad mig din Vingård for rede Penge, eller mod at jeg giver dig en anden Vingård i Bytte, om du hellere vil det! Men han svarede: Jeg vil ikke overlade dig min Vingård!"
And he says to her, “Because I speak to Naboth the Jezreelite, and say to him, Give your vineyard to me for money, or if you desire, I give a vineyard to you in its stead; and he says, I do not give my vineyard to you.”
7 Da sagde hans Hustru Jesabel til ham: "Er det dig, der for Tiden er Konge i Israel? Stå op, spis og vær ved godt Mod, jeg skal skaffe dig Jizre'eliten Nabots Vingård!"
And his wife Jezebel says to him, “You now execute rule over Israel! Rise, eat bread, and let your heart be glad—I give the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite to you.”
8 Derpå skrev hun et Brev i Akabs Navn, satte hans Segl under og sendte det til de Ældste og de fornemme i Nabots By, dem, han boede imellem.
And she writes letters in the name of Ahab, and seals with his seal, and sends the letters to the elderly and to the nobles who are in his city, those dwelling with Naboth,
9 I Brevet havde hun skrevet: "Udråb en Fastedag og sæt Nabot øverst blandt Folket
and she writes in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast, and cause Naboth to sit at the head of the people,
10 og lige over for ham to Niddinger, som kan vidne imod ham og sige: Du har forbandet Gud og Kongen! Og før ham så ud og sten ham til Døde!"
and cause two men—sons of worthlessness—to sit opposite him, and they testify of him, saying, You have blessed [[or cursed]] God and [the] king; and they have brought him out, and stoned him, and he dies.”
11 Hans Bysbørn, de Ældste og de fornemme, som boede i hans By, gjorde nu, som Jesabel havde sendt Bud til dem om, således som der stod i Brevet, hun havde sendt dem;
And the men of his city, the elderly and the nobles who are dwelling in his city, do as Jezebel has sent to them, as written in the letters that she sent to them,
12 de udråbte en Fastedag og satte Nabot øverst blandt Folket;
they have proclaimed a fast, and caused Naboth to sit at the head of the people,
13 og de to Niddinger kom og satte sig lige over for ham og vidnede imod ham i Folkets Påhør og sagde: "Nabot har forbandet Gud og Kongen!" Og derpå førte de ham uden for Byen og stenede ham til Døde.
and two men—sons of worthlessness—come in, and sit opposite him, and the men of worthlessness testify of him, even Naboth, before the people, saying, “Naboth blessed [[or cursed]] God and [the] king”; and they take him out to the outside of the city, and stone him with stones, and he dies;
14 Så sendte de Jesabel det Bud: "Nabot er stenet til Døde!"
and they send to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth was stoned, and is dead.”
15 Og da Jesabel hørte, at Nabot var stenet til Døde, sagde hun til Akab: "Stå op og tag Jizre'eliten Nabots Vingård, som han vægrede sig ved at sælge dig, i Besiddelse, thi Nabot lever ikke mere, han er død!"
And it comes to pass, at Jezebel’s hearing that Naboth has been stoned, and is dead, that Jezebel says to Ahab, “Rise, possess the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, that he refused to give to you for money, for Naboth is not alive but dead.”
16 Så snart Akab hørte, at Nabot var død, rejste han sig og gik ned til Jizre'eliten Nabots Vingård for at tage den i Besiddelse.
And it comes to pass, at Ahab’s hearing that Naboth is dead, that Ahab rises to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to possess it.
17 Men HERRENs Ord kom til Tisjbiten Elias således:
And the word of YHWH is to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18 "Stå op, gå Akab, Israels Konge i Samaria, i Møde; han er just i Nabots Vingård, som han er gået ned at tage i Besiddelse.
“Rise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who [is] in Samaria—behold, in the vineyard of Naboth, to where he has gone down to possess it,
19 Og tal således til ham: Så siger HERREN: Har du myrdet og allerede tiltrådt Arven? Sig fremdeles til ham: Så siger HERREN: På samme Sted, Hundene slikkede Nabots Blod, skal de også slikke dit!"
and you have spoken to him, saying, Thus said YHWH: Have you murdered, and also possessed? And you have spoken to him, saying, Thus said YHWH: In the place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth, the dogs lick your blood, even yours.”
20 Da sagde Akab til Elias: "Har du fundet mig, min Fjende?" Og han svarede: "Ja, jeg har fundet dig! Fordi du har solgt dig selv til at gøre, hvad der er ondt i HERRENs Øjne,
And Ahab says to Elijah, “Have you found me, O my enemy?” And he says, “I have found—because of your selling yourself to do evil in the eyes of YHWH;
21 se, derfor vil jeg bringe Ulykke over dig og feje dig bort og udrydde hvert mandligt Væsen, store og små, af Akabs Slægt, i Israel;
behold, I am bringing calamity on you, and have taken away your posterity, and cut off from Ahab those sitting on the wall, and restrained, and left, in Israel,
22 jeg vil handle med dit Hus som med Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Hus og Basjas, Abijas Søns, Hus for den Krænkelse, du har øvet, og fordi du har forledt Israel til Synd.
and given up your house like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha son of Ahijah, for the provocation with which you have provoked [Me], and cause Israel to sin.
23 Men også om Jesabel har HERREN talet og sagt: Hundene skal æde Jesabel på Jizre'els Mark!
And YHWH has also spoken of Jezebel, saying, The dogs eat Jezebel in the bulwark of Jezreel;
24 Den af Akabs Slægt, der dør i Byen, skal Hundene æde, og den, der dør på Marken, skal Himmelens Fugle æde!"
the dogs eat him who dies of Ahab in a city, and [the] bird of the heavens eats him who dies in a field;
25 Aldrig har der været nogen der som Akab solgte sig selv til at gøre, hvad der er ondt i HERRENs Øjne, fordi hans Hustru Jesabel forledte ham dertil;
surely there has been none like Ahab, who sold himself to do evil in the eyes of YHWH, whom his wife Jezebel has moved,
26 han handlede såre vederstyggeligt, idet han boldt sig til Afgudsbillederne ganske som Amoriterne, dem, HERREN drev bort foran Israeliterne.
and he does very abominably to go after the idols, according to all that the Amorite did whom YHWH dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel.”
27 Da Akab hørte de Ord, sønderrev han sine Klæder og bandt Sæk om sin bare Krop og fastede, og han sov i Sæk og gik sagtelig om.
And it comes to pass, at Ahab’s hearing these words, that he tears his garments, and puts sackcloth on his flesh, and fasts, and lies in sackcloth, and goes gently.
28 Da kom HERRENs Ord til Tisjbiten Elias således:
And the word of YHWH is to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
29 "Har du set, hvorledes Akab ydmyger sig for mig? Fordi han ydmyger sig for mig, vil jeg ikke lade Ulykken komme i hans Dage; i hans Søns Dage vil jeg lade Ulykken komme over hans Hus!"
“Have you seen that Ahab has been humbled before Me? Because that he has been humbled before Me, I do not bring in the calamity in his days; I bring in the calamity on his house in the days of his son.”
