Kings III 13
1 And behold, there came a man of God out of Juda by the word of the Lord to Baethel, and Jeroboam stood at the altar to sacrifice.
Og se, der kom en Guds Mand af Juda efter Herrens Ord til Bethel, medens Jeroboam stod ved Alteret for at gøre Røgelse.
2 And he cried against the altar by the word of the Lord, and said, O altar, altar, thus says the Lord, Behold, a son is [to be] born to the house of David, Josias by name; and he shall offer upon you the priests of the high places, [even] of them that sacrifice upon you, and [he] shall burn men's bones upon you.
Og han raabte imod Alteret efter Herrens Ord og sagde: Alter! Alter! saa sagde Herren: Se, for Davids Hus skal fødes en Søn, hvis Navn skal være Josias, og han skal ofre paa dig Højenes Præster, som gøre Røgelse paa dig, og de skulle opbrænde Menneskers Ben paa dig.
3 And in that day one shall give a sign, saying, This [is] the word which the Lord has spoken, saying, Behold, the altar is tore, and the fatness upon it shall be poured out.
Og han gav paa den samme Dag et underligt Tegn og sagde: Dette er det underlige Tegn paa, at Herren har talt dette: Se, Alteret skal revne, og Asken, som er derpaa, skal adspredes.
4 And it came to pass when king Jeroboam heard the words of the man of God who called on the altar that was in Baethel, that the king stretched forth his hand from the altar, saying, Take hold of him. And, behold, his hand, which he stretched forth against him, withered, and he could not draw it back to himself.
Og det skete, der Kongen hørte den Guds Mands Ord, som raabte imod Alteret i Bethel, da rakte Jeroboam sin Haand ud fra Alteret og sagde: Griber ham! og hans Haand visnede, som han udrakte imod ham, saa at han ikke kunde drage den tilbage til sig.
5 And the altar was tore, and the fatness was poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God gave by the word of the Lord.
Og Alteret revnede, og Asken blev adspredt fra Alteret efter det underlige Tegn, som den Guds Mand havde givet ved Herrens Ord.
6 And king Jeroboam said to the man of God, Intreat the Lord your God, and let my hand be restored to me. And the man of God entreated the Lord, and he restored the king's hand to him, and it became as before.
Da svarede Kongen og sagde til den Guds Mand: Kære, bed ydmygeligt for Herren din Guds Ansigt, og bed for mig, at min Haand maa komme tilbage til mig igen. Da bad den Guds Mand ydmygeligt for Herrens Ansigt, og Kongens Haand kom tilbage til ham og blev, som den var tilforn.
7 And the king said to the man of God, Enter with me into the house, and dine, and I will give you a gift.
Og Kongen sagde til den Guds Mand: Kom hjem med mig, og vederkvæg dig, og jeg vil give dig en Gave.
8 And the man of God said to the king, If you should give me the half of your house, I would not go in with you, neither will I eat bread, neither will I drink water in this place; for thus the Lord charged me by [his] word, saying,
Men den Guds Mand sagde til Kongen: Dersom du vilde give mig Halvdelen af dit Hus, gaar jeg dog ikke med dig, og jeg vil ikke æde Brød og ikke drikke Vand paa dette Sted.
9 Eat no bread, and drink no water, and return not by the way by which you came.
Thi det er mig saa budet ved Herrens Ord og sagt: Du skal ikke æde Brød og ej drikke Vand, og du skal ikke vende tilbage ad den Vej, paa hvilken du kom.
10 So he departed by another way, and returned not by the way by which he came to Baethel.
Og han gik bort ad en anden Vej og vendte ikke tilbage ad den Vej, som han var kommen til Bethel.
11 And there lived an old prophet in Baethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God did on that day in Baethel, and the words which he spoke to the king: and they turned the face of their father.
Og der boede en gammel Profet i Bethel, og hans Søn kom og fortalte ham al den Gerning, som den Guds Mand gjorde den Dag i Bethel, de Ord, som han talte til Kongen, og de fortalte deres Fader dem.
12 And their father spoke to them, saying, Which way went he? and his sons show him the way by which the man of God who came out of Juda went up.
Og deres Fader sagde til dem: Hvor er den Vej, han gik ad? thi hans Sønner havde set Vejen, ad hvilken den Guds Mand, som var kommen fra Juda, gik bort.
13 And he said to his sons, Saddle me the ass: and they saddled him the ass, and he mounted it,
Da sagde han til sine Sønner: Sadler mig Asenet; og de sadlede Asenet til ham, og han red derpaa.
14 and went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said to him, Are you the man of God that came out of Juda? And he said to him, I [am].
Og han drog efter den Guds Mand og fandt ham siddende under Egen og sagde til ham: Er du den Guds Mand, som kom fra Juda? og han sagde: Ja.
15 And he said to him, Come with me, and eat bread.
Da sagde han til ham: Kom hjem med mig og æd Brød!
16 And he said, I shall not by any means be able to return with you, neither will I eat bread, neither will I drink water in this place.
Og han sagde: Jeg kan ikke vende tilbage med dig og komme med dig, jeg vil hverken æde Brød, ej heller drikke Vand med dig paa dette Sted.
17 For thus the Lord commanded me by word, saying, Eat not bread there, and drink not water, and return not there by the way by which you came.
Thi der skete et Ord til mig ved Herrens Ord: Du skal hverken æde Brød, ej heller drikke Vand der, du skal ikke vende tilbage, at gaa ad den Vej, paa hvilken du kom.
18 And he said to him, I also am a prophet as you [are]; and an angel spoke to me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back to you into your house, and let him eat bread and drink water: but he lied to him.
Og han sagde til ham: Jeg er og en Profet som du, og en Engel talte med mig ved Herrens Ord og sagde: Før ham tilbage med dig til dit Hus, at han æder Brød og drikker Vand; men han løj for ham.
19 And he brought him back, and he ate bread and drank water in his house.
Og han vendte tilbage med ham, og han aad Brød i hans Hus og drak Vand.
20 And it came to pass while they were sitting at the table, that the word of the Lord came to the prophet that brought him back;
Og det skete, der de sade til Bords, da skete Herrens Ord til Profeten, som havde ført ham tilbage,
21 and he spoke to the man of God that came out of Juda, saying, Thus says the Lord, Because you have resisted the word of the Lord, and have not kept the commandment which the Lord your God commanded you,
og han raabte til den Guds Mand, som var kommen fra Juda, og sagde: Saa sagde Herren: Fordi du har været genstridig imod Herrens Mund og ikke har holdt det Bud, som Herren din Gud bød dig,
22 but have returned, and eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he spoke to you, saying, You shall not eat bread, and shall not drink water; [therefore] your body shall in nowise enter into the sepulchre of your fathers.
men du vendte tilbage og aad Brød og drak Vand paa det Sted, om hvilket jeg sagde dig: Du skal hverken æde Brød, ej heller drikke Vand: Derfor skal dit Legeme ikke komme til dine Fædres Grav.
23 And it came to pass after he had eaten bread and drunk water, that he saddled the ass for him, and he turned and departed.
Og det skete, efter at han havde ædt Brød, og efter at han havde drukket, da sadlede han Asenet til ham, nemlig til Profeten, som han havde ført tilbage.
24 And a lion found him in the way, and killed him; and his body was cast out in the way, and the ass was standing by it, and the lion [also] was standing by the body.
Saa drog han bort, og en Løve mødte ham paa Vejen og dræbte ham; og hans Legeme var kastet paa Vejen, og Asenet stod hos det, og Løven stod hos Legemet.
25 And, behold, men [were] passing by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion was standing near the carcase: and they went in and spoke [of it] in the city where the old prophet lived.
Og se, Folket som gik der forbi og saa Legemet kastet paa Vejen og Løven staa hos Legemet, de kom og sagde det i Staden, som den gamle Profet boede udi.
26 And [the prophet] that turned him back out of the way heard, and said, This is the man of God who rebelled against the word of the Lord.
Der Profeten, som havde ført ham tilbage af Vejen, hørte det, da sagde han: Det er den Guds Mand, som var genstridig imod Herrens Mund, derfor gav Herren ham til Løven, og den sønderrev ham og dræbte ham efter Herrens Ord, som han talte til ham.
27 [And he spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass, and they saddled it. ]
Og han talte til sine Sønner og sagde: Sadler mig Asenet; og de sadlede det.
28 And he went and found the body cast in the way, and the ass and the lion were standing by the body: and the lion had not devoured the body of the man of God, and had not torn the ass.
Og han drog hen og fandt hans Legeme kastet paa Vejen og Asenet og Løven staaende hos Legemet; Løven havde ikke ædt Legemet og ikke sønderrevet Asenet.
29 And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it on his ass; and the prophet brought him back to his city, to bury him in his own tomb,
Da tog Profeten den Guds Mands Legeme op og lagde det paa Asenet og førte det tilbage; saa kom den gamle Profet til Staden for at begræde og begrave ham.
30 and they bewailed him, [saying], Alas, brother.
Og han lagde hans Legeme i sin egen Grav, og de begræd ham, sigende: Ak, min Broder!
31 And it came to pass after he had lamented him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, Whenever I die, bury me in this tomb wherein the man of God is buried; lay me by his bones, that my bones may be preserved with his bones.
Og det skete, efter at han havde begravet ham, da sagde han til sine Sønner: Naar jeg dør, da skulle I begrave mig i Graven, i hvilken den Guds Mand er begraven: Lægger mine Ben hos hans Ben!
32 For the word will surely come to pass which he spoke by the word of the Lord against the altar in Baethel, and against the high houses in Samaria.
Thi det Ord skal vist ske, som han raabte efter Herrens Ord imod Alteret, som er i Bethel, og imod alle Huse paa Højene, som ere i Samarias Stæder.
33 And after this Jeroboam turned not from his sin, but he turned and made of part of the people priests of the [high places]: whoever would, he consecrated him, and he became a priest for the high places.
Efter denne Handel vendte Jeroboam ikke om fra sin onde Vej; men han vendte om og gjorde Højenes Præster af Folket i Flæng; hvem der havde Lyst, hans Haand fyldte han, og de bleve Præster paa Højene.
34 And this thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to its destruction and its removal from the face of the earth.
Og denne Gerning blev Jeroboams Hus til Synd, saa at det skulde udslettes og udryddes af Jorderige.
