< 1 Kings 21 >

1 Some time later, Naboth the Jezreelite happened to own a vineyard in Jezreel next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
Derefter hændte følgende. Jizrae'eliten Nabot havde en Vingård i Jizre'el lige ved Kong Akab af Samarias Palads.
2 So Ahab said to Naboth, “Give me your vineyard to use as a vegetable garden, since it is next to my palace. I will give you a better vineyard in its place—or if you prefer, I will give you its value in silver.”
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."
3 But Naboth replied, “The LORD forbid that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers.”
Men Nabot svarede Akab: "HERREN bevare mig fra at overlade dig mine Fædres Arvelod!"
4 So Ahab went to his palace, sullen and angry because Naboth the Jezreelite had told him, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He lay down on his bed, turned his face away, and refused to eat.
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.
5 Soon his wife Jezebel came in and asked, “Why are you so sullen that you refuse to eat?”
Da kom hans Hustru Jesabel ind og sagde til ham: "Hvorfor er du så misfornøjet, og hvorfor spiser du ikke?"
6 Ahab answered, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and told him, ‘Give me your vineyard for silver, or if you wish, I will give you another vineyard in its place.’ And he replied, ‘I will not give you my vineyard!’”
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!"
7 But his wife Jezebel said to him, “Do you not reign over Israel? Get up, eat some food, and be cheerful, for I will get you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
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!"
8 Then Jezebel wrote letters in Ahab’s name, sealed them with his seal, and sent them to the elders and nobles who lived with Naboth in his city.
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.
9 In the letters she wrote: “Proclaim a fast and give Naboth a seat of honor among the people.
I Brevet havde hun skrevet: "Udråb en Fastedag og sæt Nabot øverst blandt Folket
10 But seat two scoundrels opposite him and have them testify, ‘You have cursed both God and the king!’ Then take him out and stone him to death.”
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!"
11 So the elders and nobles who lived in Naboth’s city did as Jezebel had instructed in the letters she had written to them.
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;
12 They proclaimed a fast and gave Naboth a seat of honor among the people.
de udråbte en Fastedag og satte Nabot øverst blandt Folket;
13 And the two scoundrels came in and sat opposite Naboth, and these men testified against him before the people, saying, “Naboth has cursed both God and the king!” So they took him outside the city and stoned him to death.
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.
14 Then they sent word to Jezebel: “Naboth has been stoned to death.”
Så sendte de Jesabel det Bud: "Nabot er stenet til Døde!"
15 When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned to death, she said to Ahab, “Get up and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, who refused to give it to you for silver. For Naboth is no longer alive, but dead.”
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!"
16 And when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he got up and went down to take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
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.
17 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Men HERRENs Ord kom til Tisjbiten Elias således:
18 “Get up and go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who is in Samaria. See, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, of which he has gone to take possession.
"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.
19 Tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Have you not murdered a man and seized his land?’ Then tell him that this is also what the LORD says: ‘In the place where the dogs licked up the blood of Naboth, there also the dogs will lick up your blood—yes, yours!’”
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!"
20 When Elijah arrived, Ahab said to him, “So you have found me out, my enemy.” He replied, “I have found you out because you have sold yourself to do evil in the sight of the LORD.
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,
21 This is what the LORD says: ‘I will bring calamity on you and consume your descendants; I will cut off from Ahab every male in Israel, both slave and free.
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;
22 I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat and like that of Baasha son of Ahijah, because you have provoked My anger and caused Israel to sin.’
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.
23 And the LORD also speaks concerning Jezebel: ‘The dogs will devour Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.’
Men også om Jesabel har HERREN talet og sagt: Hundene skal æde Jesabel på Jizre'els Mark!
24 Anyone belonging to Ahab who dies in the city will be eaten by dogs, and anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the air.”
Den af Akabs Slægt, der dør i Byen, skal Hundene æde, og den, der dør på Marken, skal Himmelens Fugle æde!"
25 (Surely there was never one like Ahab, who sold himself to do evil in the sight of the LORD, incited by his wife Jezebel.
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;
26 He committed the most detestable acts by going after idols, just like the Amorites whom the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.)
han handlede såre vederstyggeligt, idet han boldt sig til Afgudsbillederne ganske som Amoriterne, dem, HERREN drev bort foran Israeliterne.
27 When Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and fasted. He lay down in sackcloth and walked around meekly.
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.
28 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying:
Da kom HERRENs Ord til Tisjbiten Elias således:
29 “Have you seen how Ahab has humbled himself before Me? Because he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the calamity during his days, but I will bring it upon his house in the days of his son.”
"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!"
