1 Kings 21
1 And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab, king of Samaria.
Og det skete efter disse Handeler, at Jisreeliteren Naboth havde en Vingaard, som var i Jisreel ved Akabs Palads, Kongens i Samaria.
2 And Ahab spoke unto Naboth, saying: 'Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house; and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.'
Og Akab talede til Naboth og sagde: Giv mig din Vingaard, at den maa være mig til en Urtehave, efterdi den er nær ved mit Hus, og jeg vil give dig en Vingaard for den, som er bedre end denne; eller om dig godt synes, vil jeg give dig Penge for den, saa meget som den er værd.
3 And Naboth said to Ahab: 'The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.'
Og Naboth sagde til Akab: Herren lade det være langt fra mig, at jeg skulde give dig mine Fædres Arv.
4 And Ahab came into his house sullen and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said: 'I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers.' And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
Da kom Akab ilde tilfreds og vred til sit Hus for det Ords Skyld, søm Jisreeliteren Naboth havde talt til ham og sagt: Jeg vil ikke give dig mine Fædres Arv; og han lagde sig paa sin Seng og vendte sit Ansigt omkring og aad ikke Brød.
5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him: 'Why is thy spirit so sullen, that thou eatest no bread?'
Da kom Jesabel, hans Hustru, til ham, og hun sagde til ham: Hvad er det for noget, at din Aand er saa ilde tilfreds, at du ikke æder Brød?
6 And he said unto her: 'Because I spoke unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him: Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it; and he answered: I will not give thee my vineyard.'
Og han sagde til hende: Fordi jeg talte til Jisreeliteren Naboth og sagde til ham: Giv mig din Vingaard for Penge, eller om du har Lyst dertil, da vil jeg give dig en anden Vingaard for den, og han sagde: Jeg vil ikke give dig min Vingaard.
7 And Jezebel his wife said unto him: 'Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thy heart be merry; I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.'
Da sagde Jesabel, hans Hustru, til ham: Du, jo, du skulde nu have Kongemagt over Israel! staa op, æd Brød og lad dit Hjerte være vel til Mode, jeg vil give dig Jisreeliteren Naboths Vingaard.
8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, and that dwelt with Naboth.
Og hun skrev Breve i Akabs Navn og forseglede dem med hans Signet, og hun sendte Brevene til de ældste og til de ypperste, som vare i hans Stad, og som boede ved Naboth.
9 And she wrote in the letters, saying: 'Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth at the head of the people;
Og hun skrev i Brevene og sagde: Lader udraabe en Faste, og sætter Naboth øverst iblandt Folket!
10 and set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them bear witness against him, saying: Thou didst curse God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he die.'
Og sætter to Mænd, Belials Børn, tværs overfor ham, som skulle vidne imod ham og sige: Du har bandet Gud og Kongen; og fører ham ud og stener ham, at han dør.
11 And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
Og de ældste Mænd og ypperste i hans Stad, som boede i hans Stad, gjorde, ligesom Jesabel havde ladet sige til dem, ligesom der var skrevet i Brevene, som hun havde sendt til dem.
12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth at the head of the people.
Delode udraabe en Faste og satte Naboth øverst iblandt Folket.
13 And the two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him; and the base fellows bore witness against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying: 'Naboth did curse God and the king.' Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
Og de to Mænd, de Belials Børn, kom og satte sig tværs overfor ham, og de Belials Mænd vidnede imod Naboth for Folket og sagde: Naboth bandede Gud og Kongen; og de førte ham ud uden for Staden og stenede ham med Stene, at han døde.
14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying: 'Naboth is stoned, and is dead.'
Og de sendte til Jesabel og lode sige: Naboth er stenet og er død.
15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab: 'Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.'
Og det skete, der Jesabel hørte, at Naboth var stenet og var død, da sagde Jesabel til Akab: Staa op, tag til Eje Jisreeliteren Naboths Vingaard, som han vægrede sig ved at give dig for Penge; thi Naboth lever ikke, men er død.
16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
Og det skete, der Akab hørte, at Naboth var død, da stod Akab op at gaa ned i Jisreeliteren Naboths Vingaard for at tage den til Eje.
17 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying:
Og Herrens Ord skete til Thisbiteren Elias og sagde:
18 'Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwelleth in Samaria; behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to take possession of it.
Staa op, gak ned imod Akab, Israels Konge, som er i Samaria; se, han er i Naboths Vingaard, hvorhen han er gaaet ned for at tage den til Ejendom.
19 And thou shalt speak unto him, saying: Thus saith the LORD: Hast thou killed, and also taken possessions? and thou shalt speak unto him, saying: Thus saith the LORD: In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.'
Og du skal tale til ham og sige: Saaledes sagde Herren: Har du baade myrdet og tilmed taget en Ejendom? Fremdeles skal du tale til ham og sige: Saa siger Herren: Paa det Sted, hvor Hundene slikkede Naboths Blod, skulle Hundene slikke dit Blod, ja ogsaa dit.
20 And Ahab said to Elijah: 'Hast thou found me, O mine enemy?' And he answered: 'I have found thee; because thou hast given thyself over to do that which is evil in the sight of the LORD.
Og Akab sagde til Elias: Har du fundet mig, min Fjende? Og han sagde: Jeg har fundet dig, fordi du har solgt dig selv til at gøre det onde for Herrens Øjne.
21 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will utterly sweep thee away, and will cut off from Ahab every man-child, and him that is shut up and him that is left at large in Israel.
Se, jeg vil føre Ulykke over dig og borttage dine Efterkommere og udrydde af alt Akabs Hus enhver af Mandkøn og den bundne og den løsladte i Israel.
22 And I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasa the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked Me, and hast made Israel to sin.
Og jeg vil gøre dit Hus som Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Hus, og som Baesas, Ahias Søns, Hus, for den Opirrelses Skyld, som du har opirret mig med, og fordi du kom Israel til at synde.
23 And of Jezebel also spoke the LORD, saying: The dogs shall eat Jezebel in the moat of Jezreel.
Og om Jesabel har Herren ogsaa talt og sagt: Hundene skulle æde Jesabel inden Jisreels Mure.
24 Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.'
Hvo som dør i Staden af Akabs Hus, skulle Hundene æde, og hvo som dør paa Marken, skulle Fuglene under Himmelen æde.
25 But there was none like unto Ahab, who did give himself over to do that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
Dog var der ingen som Akab, der havde solgt sig selv til at gøre det onde for Herrens Øjne, fordi hans Hustru Jesabel tilskyndte ham;
26 And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
og han handlede saare vederstyggeligt, idet han vandrede efter de stygge Afguder, aldeles ligesom Amoriterne gjorde, hvilke Herren fordrev for Israels Børns Ansigt.
27 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softy.
Og det skete, der Akab hørte disse Ord, da sønderrev han sine Klæder og lagde Sæk om sin Krop og fastede, og han laa i Sæk og gik sagtelig.
28 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying:
Og Herrens Ord skete til Thisbiteren Elias og sagde:
29 'Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before Me? because he humbleth himself before Me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.'
Har du set, at Akab har ydmyget sig for mit Ansigt? fordi han har ydmyget sig for mit Ansigt, vil jeg ikke lade det onde komme i hans Dage; i hans Søns Dage vil jeg føre det onde over hans Hus.
