Kings III 21
1 And Achaab numbered the young men the heads of the districts, and they were two hundred and thirty: and afterwards he numbered the people, [even] every man fit for war, seven thousand.
Sidan hende denne tilburden: Jizre’eliten Nabot, hadde ein vinhage som låg i Jizre’el innåt slottet til Ahab, kongen i Samaria.
2 And he went forth at noon, an the son of Ader was drinking [and] getting drunk in Socchoth, he and the kings, [even] thirty and two kings, his allies.
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 And the young men the heads of the districts went forth first; and they send and report to the king of Syria, saying, There are men come forth out of Samaria.
Men Nabot sagde til Ahab: «Aldri i verdi vil eg gjeva deg fedrearven min!»
4 And he said to them, If they come forth peaceably, take them alive; and if they come forth to war, take them alive:
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 and let not the young men the heads of the districts go forth of the city. And the force that was behind them
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 struck each one the man next to him; and each one a second time struck the man next to him: and Syria fled, and Israel pursued them; and the son of Ader, [even] the king of Syria, escapes on the horse of a horseman.
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 And the king of Israel went forth, and took all the horses and the chariots, and struck [the enemy] with a great slaughter in Syria.
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 the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said, Strengthen yourself, and observe, and see what you shall do; for at the return of the year the son of Ader king of Syria comes up against you.
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 the servants of the king of Syria, even they said, The God of Israel [is] a God of mountains, and not a God of valleys; therefore has he prevailed against us: but if we should fight against them in the plain, verily we shall prevail against them.
Ho skreiv soleis i brevet: «Lys til ei fasta, og set so Nabot øvst millom folket,
10 And do you this thing: Send away the kings, each one to his place, and set princes in their stead.
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 And we will give you [another] army according to the army that was destroyed, and cavalry according to the cavalry, and chariots according to the chariots, and we will fight against them in the plain, and we shall prevail against them. And he listened to their voice, and did so.
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 And it came to pass at the return of the year, that the son of Ader reviewed Syria, and went up to Apheca to war against Israel.
Dei lyste til ei fasta og sette Nabot øvst millom folket;
13 And the children of Israel were numbered, and came to meet them: and Israel encamped before them as two little flocks of goats, but Syria filled the land.
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 there came the man of God, and said to the king of Israel, Thus says the Lord, Because Syria has said, The Lord God of Israel [is] a God of the hills, and he [is] not a God of the valleys, therefore will I give this great army into your hand, and you shall know that I [am] the Lord.
Og dei sende bod til Jezabel med dei ordi: «Nabot er steina i hel.»
15 And they encamp one over against the other before them seven days. And it came to pass on the seventh day that the battle drew on, and Israel struck Syria, [even] a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
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 the rest fled to Apheca, into the city; and the wall fell upon twenty-seven thousand men that were left: and the son of Ader fled, and entered into an inner chamber, into a closet.
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 And he said to his servants, I know that the kings of Israel are merciful kings: let us now put sackcloth upon our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and let us go forth to the king of Israel, if by any means he will save our souls alive.
Men Herrens ord kom til Elia frå Tisbe soleis:
18 So they girded sackcloth upon their loins, and put ropes upon their heads, and said to the king of Israel, Your servant the son of Ader says, Let our souls live, I pray you. And he said, Does he yet live? He is my brother.
«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 the men divined, and offered drink-offerings; and they caught the word out of his mouth, and said, Your brother the son of Ader. And he said, Go you in and fetch him. And the son of Ader went out to him, and they cause him to go up to him into the chariot.
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 he said to him, The cities which my father took from your father I will restore to you; and you shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made streets in Samaria; and I will let you go with a covenant. And he made a covenant with him, and let him go.
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 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbor by the word of the Lord, Strike me, I pray, And the man would not strike him.
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 he said to him, Because you have not listened to the voice of the Lord, therefore, behold, as you depart from me, a lion shall strike you: and he departed from him, and a lion found him, and struck him.
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 he finds another man, and says, Strike me, I pray you. And the man struck him, and in striking wounded [him].
Um Jezabel og hev Herren tala og sagt: «Hundarne skal eta upp Jezabel attmed Jisre’elsmuren.
24 And the prophet went and stood before the king of Israel by the way, and bound his eyes with a bandage.
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 it came to pass as the king passed by, that he cried aloud to the king, and said, Your servant went out to war, and, behold, a man brought [another] man to me, and said to me, Keep his man; and if he should by any means escape, then your life shall go for his life, or you shall pay a talent of silver.
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 it came to pass, that your servant looked round this way and that way, and the man was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, Behold, you have also destroyed snares [set] for me.
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 And he hasted, and took away the bandage from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized him, that he was one of the prophets.
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 he said to him, Thus says the Lord, Because you have suffered to escape out of your hand a man appointed to destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.
Då kom Herrens ord til Elia frå Tisbe soleis:
29 And the king of Israel departed confounded and discouraged, and came to Samaria.
«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.»
