1 Kings 21
1 After these things Naboth the Izreelite had a vineyarde in Izreel, hard by 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 And Ahab spake vnto Naboth, saying, Giue me thy vineyarde, that I may make mee a garden of herbes thereof, because it is neere by mine house: and I will giue thee for it a better vineyarde then it is: or if it please thee, I will giue thee the worth of it in money.
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 And Naboth said to Ahab, The Lord keepe me from giuing the inheritance of my father vnto thee.
Men Nabot svarede Akab: "HERREN bevare mig fra at overlade dig mine Fædres Arvelod!"
4 Then Ahab came into his house heauie and in displeasure, because of the word which Naboth the Izreelite had spoken vnto him. for hee had sayde, I will not giue thee the inheritance of my fathers, and he lay vpon his bed, and turned his face and would eate no bread.
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 Then Iezebel his wife came to him and said vnto him, Why is thy spirit so sad that thou eatest no bread?
Da kom hans Hustru Jesabel ind og sagde til ham: "Hvorfor er du så misfornøjet, og hvorfor spiser du ikke?"
6 And he said vnto her, Because I spake vnto Naboth the Izreelite, and sayd vnto him, Giue me thy vineyard for money, or if it please thee, I will giue thee another vineyard for it: but he answered, I wil not giue thee my vineyarde.
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 Then Iezebel his wife sayde vnto him, Doest thou nowe gouerne the kingdome of Israel? vp, eate bread, and be of good cheere, I will giue thee the vineyard of Naboth the Izreelite.
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 letters in Ahabs name, and sealed them with his seale, and sent the letters vnto the Elders, and to the nobles that were in his citie dwelling with Naboth.
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 And shee wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaime a fast, and set Naboth among the chiefe of the people,
I Brevet havde hun skrevet: "Udråb en Fastedag og sæt Nabot øverst blandt Folket
10 And set two wicked men before him, and let them witnesse against him, saying, Thou diddest blaspheme God and the King: then cary him out, and stone him that he may dye.
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 And the men of his citie, euen the Elders and gouernours, which dwelt in his citie, did as Iezebel had sent vnto them: as it was written in the letters, which she had sent vnto 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 set Naboth among the chiefe of the people,
de udråbte en Fastedag og satte Nabot øverst blandt Folket;
13 And there came two wicked men, and sate before him: and the wicked men witnessed against Naboth in the presence of the people saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the King. Then they caried him away out of the citie, and stoned him with stones, that he dyed.
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 to Iezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned and is dead.
Så sendte de Jesabel det Bud: "Nabot er stenet til Døde!"
15 And when Iezebel heard that Naboth was stoned and was dead, Iezebel sayd to Ahab, Vp, and take possession of the vineyarde of Naboth the Izreelite, which he refused to giue thee for money: for Naboth is not aliue, but is 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 rose to go downe to the vineyard of Naboth the Izreelite, to take possession of it.
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 And the word of the Lord came vnto Eliiah the Tishbite, saying,
Men HERRENs Ord kom til Tisjbiten Elias således:
18 Arise, goe downe to meete Ahab King of Israel, which is in Samaria. loe, he is in the vineyarde of Naboth, whither he is gone downe to take possession 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 Therefore shalt thou say vnto him, Thus sayth the Lord, Hast thou killed, and also gotten possession? And thou shalt speake vnto him, saying, Thus sayth the Lord, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, shall dogs licke euen thy blood also.
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 And Ahab sayd to Eliiah, Hast thou found mee, O mine enemie? And he answered, I haue found thee: for thou hast solde thy selfe to worke wickednes 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 Beholde, I will bring euill vpon thee, and wil take away thy posteritie, and wil cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, as well him that is shut vp, as him that is left in 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 And I wil make thine house like the house of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the sonne of Ahiiah, for the prouocation wherewith thou hast prouoked, and made Israel to sinne.
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 also of Iezebel spake the Lord, saying, The dogs shall eate Iezebel, by the wall of Izreel.
Men også om Jesabel har HERREN talet og sagt: Hundene skal æde Jesabel på Jizre'els Mark!
24 The dogs shall eate him of Ahabs stocke, that dyeth in the citie: and him that dyeth in the fieldes, shall the foules of the ayre eate.
Den af Akabs Slægt, der dør i Byen, skal Hundene æde, og den, der dør på Marken, skal Himmelens Fugle æde!"
25 (But there was none like Ahab, who did fell him selfe, to worke wickednesse in the sight of the Lord: whom Iezebel his wife prouoked.
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 For he did exceeding abominably in following idoles, according to all that the Amorites did, whom the Lord cast out before the children of Israel.)
han handlede såre vederstyggeligt, idet han boldt sig til Afgudsbillederne ganske som Amoriterne, dem, HERREN drev bort foran Israeliterne.
27 Nowe when Ahab heard those wordes, he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth vpon him and fasted, and lay in sackecloth and went softely.
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 And the worde of the Lord came to Eliiah the Tishbite, saying,
Da kom HERRENs Ord til Tisjbiten Elias således:
29 Seest thou how Ahab is humbled before me? because he submitteth himselfe before me, I will not bring that euill in his dayes, but in his sonnes dayes wil I bring euill vpon his house.
"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!"
