1 Kings 21
1 Sometime later this happened: There was a man named Naboth from Jezreel, who owned a vineyard in Jezreel close to King Ahab's palace in Samaria.
Derefter hændte følgende. Jizrae'eliten Nabot havde en Vingård i Jizre'el lige ved Kong Akab af Samarias Palads.
2 Ahab went to Naboth and said, “Give me your vineyard so I can turn it into a vegetable garden, because it's close to my palace. In return I'll give you a better vineyard, or if you want I'll pay you for it in cash.”
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 curse me if I should give you my forefathers' inheritance.”
Men Nabot svarede Akab: "HERREN bevare mig fra at overlade dig mine Fædres Arvelod!"
4 Ahab went home sulking and infuriated because Naboth from Jezreel had said, “I will not give you my forefathers' inheritance.” He went to bed, wouldn't look at anyone, 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 His wife Jezebel came in and asked him, “Why are you so upset about? That you don't want to eat?”
Da kom hans Hustru Jesabel ind og sagde til ham: "Hvorfor er du så misfornøjet, og hvorfor spiser du ikke?"
6 Ahab replied, “It's because I talked with Naboth from Jezreel and I asked him, ‘Give me your vineyard for cash, or if you want, I'll give you another vineyard instead.’ But he said, ‘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 “Aren't you the king of Israel?” his wife Jezebel replied. “Get up, have something to eat, and cheer up. I'll get you the vineyard of Naboth from Jezreel.”
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 So she wrote some letters in Ahab's name and sealed them with his seal. She sent the letters to the elders and leaders in the town where Naboth lived.
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 to tell them, “Announce a religious fast, and give Naboth a seat of honor.
I Brevet havde hun skrevet: "Udråb en Fastedag og sæt Nabot øverst blandt Folket
10 But seat two bad men opposite him and have them accuse him, saying, ‘You have cursed 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 leaders who lived in Naboth's town did as Jezebel had said in the letters she had written and sent 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 announced a religious fast, and gave Naboth a seat of honor.
de udråbte en Fastedag og satte Nabot øverst blandt Folket;
13 Two bad men came and sat opposite him, and accused him in front of the people, saying, “Naboth has cursed God and the king.” So they took him outside the town 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 a message to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned. He's dead.”
Så sendte de Jesabel det Bud: "Nabot er stenet til Døde!"
15 As soon as Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and he was dead, Jezebel told Ahab, “Get up, go and claim ownership of the vineyard of Naboth from Jezreel, which he refused to sell you, 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 When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he got up and went to claim ownership of Naboth's vineyard.
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 Lord sent a message to Elijah the Tishbite:
Men HERRENs Ord kom til Tisjbiten Elias således:
18 “Go and meet Ahab, king of Israel, in Samaria. He is right now in Naboth's vineyard, where he has gone to claim ownership of it.
"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: This is what the Lord says: Have you murdered a man and robbed him? Then tell him: This is what the Lord says: In the very spot where dogs licked up Naboth's blood, dogs will lick up your own blood.”
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 “So have you come to find me, my enemy?” Ahab asked Elijah. “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do what is evil in the Lord sight,” Elijah replied.
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 He says, “Watch out! I'm going to bring disaster on you and destroy your descendants. I will kill from every male of Ahab's line, both slave and free, in the whole of Israel.
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 angered me and made Israel 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 as far as Jezebel is concerned, the Lord says, ‘Dogs will eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.’
Men også om Jesabel har HERREN talet og sagt: Hundene skal æde Jesabel på Jizre'els Mark!
24 Those of Ahab's family who die in the town will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the countryside will be eaten by birds.”
Den af Akabs Slægt, der dør i Byen, skal Hundene æde, og den, der dør på Marken, skal Himmelens Fugle æde!"
25 (No one else was so bad as Ahab, who sold himself to do what is evil in the Lord's sight, because his wife Jezebel encouraged him.
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 did the most despicable things, worshiping idols like the Amorites the Lord had driven out before Israel.)
han handlede såre vederstyggeligt, idet han boldt sig til Afgudsbillederne ganske som Amoriterne, dem, HERREN drev bort foran Israeliterne.
27 As soon as Ahab heard this message, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and fasted. He even went to bed in sackcloth, and walked around repentantly.
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 Lord sent a message to Elijah the Tishbite:
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 disaster during his lifetime, but I will bring down disaster on his family in the lifetime 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!"
