1 Kings 21
1 And after these things, in that time, there was a vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, who was in Jezreel, beside the palace of Ahab, the king of Samaria.
Sidan hende denne tilburden: Jizre’eliten Nabot, hadde ein vinhage som låg i Jizre’el innåt slottet til Ahab, kongen i Samaria.
2 Therefore, Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying: “Give your vineyard to me, so that I may make for myself a garden of herbs. For it is nearby and is beside my house. And I will give to you, in place of it, a better vineyard. Or if you consider it to be more convenient for you, I will give you the price in silver, whatever it is worth.”
Og Ahab tala med Nabot og sagde: «Lat meg få vinhagen din, so eg kann hava honom til kålhage, for han ligg so nær innåt huset mitt. Eg skal gjeva deg ein betre vingard i staden, eller um du so tykkjer, skal eg greida verdet ut i reide pengar.»
3 Naboth responded to him, “May the Lord be gracious to me, lest I give to you the inheritance of my fathers.”
Men Nabot sagde til Ahab: «Aldri i verdi vil eg gjeva deg fedrearven min!»
4 Then Ahab went into his house, angry and gnashing his teeth over the word that Naboth, the Jezreelite, had spoken to him, saying, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” And casting himself on his bed, he turned away his face to the wall, and he would not eat bread.
Då gjekk Ahab heim, mismodig og harm for det svaret jisre’eliten Nabot hadde gjeve honom då han sagde: «Eg vil ikkje gjeva deg fedrearven min.» Og han lagde seg i sengi og snudde seg burt og vilde ikkje eta.
5 Then Jezebel, his wife, entered to him, and she said to him: “What is this matter, by which your soul has been saddened? And why do you not eat bread?”
Då kom Jezabel, kona hans, inn til honom og sagde til honom: «Kvi er du so stur i hugen, so du ikkje vil eta?»
6 And he responded to her: “I spoke to Naboth, the Jezreelite, and I said to him: ‘Give your vineyard to me, and accept money. Or if it pleases you, I will give to you a better vineyard, in place of it.’ And he said, ‘I will not give my vineyard to you.’”
Han svara henne: «Eg tala med jizre’eliten Nabot og sagde til honom: «Lat meg få vinhagen din for pengar, eller um du so tykkjer, skal eg gjeva deg ein annan vinhage i staden.» Men han svara: «Eg vil ikkje gjeva deg vinhagen min.»»
7 Then Jezebel, his wife, said to him: “You are of great authority, and you rule well in the kingdom of Israel. Rise up and eat bread, and be even-tempered. I will give the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, to you.”
Då sagde Jezabel, kona hans, til honom: «Er det du som no hev kongevelde i Israel? Statt upp, et og ver i godlag! Eg skal gjeva deg vinhagen åt jizre’eliten Nabot.»
8 And so, she wrote letters in the name of Ahab, and she sealed these with his ring. And she sent to those greater by birth, and to the nobles who were in his city and living with Naboth.
Og ho skreiv eit brev i namnet åt Ahab og sette innsigle under med hans seglring og sende brevet til styresmennerne og storfolket i byen hans Nabot, dei som budde saman med honom.
9 And this was the judgment of the letters: “Proclaim a fast, and cause Naboth to sit among the first rulers of the people.
Ho skreiv soleis i brevet: «Lys til ei fasta, og set so Nabot øvst millom folket,
10 And send out two men, sons of Belial, against him. And let them speak the false testimony: ‘He has blasphemed God and king.’ And then lead him away, and stone him, and so let him die.”
og set tvo uvyrdne karar midt imot honom, og lat deim vitna imot honom og segja: «Du hev banna Gud og kongen!» Før so honom ut og steina honom i hel!»
11 Then his fellow citizens, those greater by birth and the nobles who were living with him in the city, did just as Jezebel had instructed them, and just as it was written in the letters that she had sent to them.
Mennerne i byen hans, styresmennerne og storfolket, dei som budde der i byen hans, gjorde etter det bodet som Jezabel hadde sendt deim, so som det var skrive i brevet ho hadde sendt til deim.
12 They proclaimed a fast, and they caused Naboth to sit among the first rulers of the people.
Dei lyste til ei fasta og sette Nabot øvst millom folket;
13 And bringing forward two men, sons of the devil, they caused them to sit opposite him. And they, acting indeed like diabolical men, spoke testimony against him before the multitude: “Naboth has blasphemed God and king.” For this reason, they led him away, beyond the city, and they put him to death by stoning.
og dei tvo uvyrdne kararne kom og sette seg midt imot honom, og uvyrdorne vitna imot Nabot for folket og sagde: «Nabot hev banna Gud og kongen.» So førde dei honom utanfor byen og kasta stein på honom til han døydde.
14 And they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned, and he has died.”
Og dei sende bod til Jezabel med dei ordi: «Nabot er steina i hel.»
15 Then it happened that, when Jezebel had heard that Naboth was stoned and was dead, she said to Ahab: “Rise up and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, who was not willing to acquiesce to you, and to give it to you in exchange for money. For Naboth is not alive, but dead.”
Då Jezabel høyrde at Nabot var steina i hel, sagde Jezabel til Ahab: «Statt upp, eigna til deg vinhagen åt jizre’eliten Nabot, den som han ikkje vilde gjeva deg for pengar! For Nabot er ikkje lenger i live, han er dåen.»
16 And when Ahab had heard this, namely, that Naboth was dead, he rose up and descended to the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, so that he might take possession of it.
Då Ahab høyrde at Nabot var dåen, stod Ahab upp og gav seg på vegen til vinhagen åt jizre’eliten Nabot og vilde eigna honom til seg.
17 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying:
Men Herrens ord kom til Elia frå Tisbe soleis:
18 “Rise up, and descend to meet Ahab, the king of Israel, who is in Samaria. Behold, he is descending to the vineyard of Naboth, so that he may take possession of it.
«Statt upp, og far ned og møt Ahab, Israels-kongen, som bur i Samaria! No er han i vinhagen åt Nabot, han hev gjenge ned og vil eigna til seg.
19 And you shall speak to him, saying: ‘Thus says the Lord: You have killed. Moreover you have also taken possession.’ And after this, you shall add: ‘Thus says the Lord: In this place, where the dogs have licked the blood of Naboth, they shall also lick your blood.’”
Du skal tala med honom og segja: «So segjer Herren: Hev du no både drepe og eigna til deg arven?» Og du skal tala med honom og segja: «So segjer Herren: På same staden som hundarne hev slikka blodet åt Nabot, skal hundarne slikka blodet ditt og.»»
20 And Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you discovered me to be your enemy?” And he said: “I have discovered you to have been sold, so that you would do evil in the sight of the Lord:
Ahab sagde til Elia: «Hev du funne meg, du fienden min?» Han svara: «Ja, eg hev funne deg. Sidan du hev selt deg til å gjera det som vondt er i Herrens augo,
21 ‘Behold, I will lead evil over you. And I will cut down your posterity. And I will put to death of Ahab whatever urinates against a wall, and whatever is lame, and whatever is last in Israel.
so fører eg ulukka yver deg, og eg skal sopa etter deg og rydja ut or Ahabs-ætti kvar ein karmann, både ufri og fri i Israel.
22 And I will cause your house to be like the house of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha, the son of Ahijah. For you have acted so that you provoked me to anger, and so that you caused Israel to sin.’
Og eg skal fara med ditt hus som eg for med huset åt Jerobeam Nebatsson og huset åt Baesa Ahiason, for di du hev harma meg so mykje og forført Israel til synd.
23 And about Jezebel also, the Lord spoke, saying: ‘The dogs shall consume Jezebel in the field of Jezreel.
Um Jezabel og hev Herren tala og sagt: «Hundarne skal eta upp Jezabel attmed Jisre’elsmuren.
24 If Ahab will have died in the city, the dogs will consume him. But if he will have died in the field, the birds of the air will consume him.’”
Den av Ahabs-ætti som døyr i byen, skal hundarne eta upp, og den som døyr ute på marki, skal fuglarne eta upp.»»
25 And so, there was no other person similar to Ahab, who was sold so that he did evil in the sight of the Lord. For his wife, Jezebel, urged him on.
Aldri hev det vore nokon slik som Ahab, som selde seg sjølv til å gjera det som vondt var i Herrens augo, av di Jezabel, kona hans, eggja honom.
26 And he became abominable, so much so that he followed the idols that the Amorites had made, whom the Lord consumed before the face of the sons of Israel.
Mykje stygt gjorde han, med di han for etter dei ufyselege avgudarne, plent som amoritarne hadde gjort, dei som Herren dreiv burt for Israels-borni.
27 Then, when Ahab had heard these words, he tore his garments, and he put haircloth on his body, and he fasted, and he slept in sackcloth, and he walked with his head downcast.
Men då Ahab høyrde dei ordi, reiv han sund klædi sine og sveipte sekk um kroppen og fasta; og han sov i sekkjetyet og for stilt fram.
28 And the word of the Lord came to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying:
Då kom Herrens ord til Elia frå Tisbe soleis:
29 “Have you not seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Therefore, since he has humbled himself because of me, I will not lead in the evil during his days. Instead, during the days of his son, I will bring in the evil to his house.”
«Hev du set korleis Ahab audmykjer seg for meg? For di han audmykjer seg, skal eg ikkje lata ulukka koma i hans livstid; men i hans sons tid skal eg lata ulukka koma yver huset hans.»
