< 1 Kings 13 >
1 And behold, a man of God has come from Judah, by the word of YHWH, to Beth-El, and Jeroboam is standing by the altar—to make incense;
Og se, paa HERRENS Bud kom en Guds Mand fra Juda til Betel, netop som Jeroboam stod paa Alteret for at tænde Offerild.
2 and he calls against the altar, by the word of YHWH, and says, “Altar! Altar! Thus said YHWH: Behold, a son is born to the house of David—Josiah [is] his name—and he has sacrificed on you the priests of the high places who are making incense on you, and bones of man are burned on you.”
Og han raabte med HERRENS Ord imod Alteret: »Alter, Alter! Saa siger HERREN: Der skal fødes Davids Hus en Søn ved Navn Josias, og paa dig skal han ofre Højenes Præster, som tænder Offerild paa dig, og han skal brænde Menneskeknogler paa dig!«
3 And he has given a sign on that day, saying, “This [is] the sign that YHWH has spoken, Behold, the altar is torn, and the ashes that [are] on it [are] poured forth.”
Og samtidig kundgjorde han et Tegn, idet han sagde: »Dette er Tegnet paa, at HERREN har talet: Se, Alteret skal revne, saa Asken derpaa vælter ud!«
4 And it comes to pass, at the king’s hearing the word of the man of God that he calls against the altar in Beth-El, that Jeroboam puts forth his hand from off the altar, saying, “Catch him”; and his hand that he has put forth against him is dried up, and he is not able to bring it back to himself,
Da nu Kongen hørte de Ord, den Guds Mand raabte mod Alteret i Betel, rakte Jeroboam sin Haand ud fra Alteret og sagde: »Grib ham!« Men Haanden, han rakte ud imod ham, visnede, og han kunde ikke tage den til sig igen;
5 and the altar is torn, and the ashes [are] poured forth from the altar, according to the sign that the man of God had given by the word of YHWH.
og Alteret revnede, saa Asken væltede ud fra Alteret — det Tegn, den Guds Mand havde kundgjort med HERRENS Ord.
6 And the king answers and says to the man of God, “Please appease the face of your God YHWH, and pray for me, and my hand comes back to me”; and the man of God appeases the face of YHWH, and the hand of the king comes back to him, and it is as at the beginning.
Da tog Kongen til Orde og sagde til den Guds Mand: »Bed dog HERREN din Gud om Naade og gaa i Forbøn for mig, at jeg kan tage Haanden til mig igen!« Og den Guds Mand bad HERREN om Naade, og Kongen kunde tage Haanden til sig igen, og den var som før.
7 And the king speaks to the man of God, “Come in with me to the house, and refresh yourself, and I give a gift to you.”
Derpaa sagde Kongen til den Guds Mand: »Følg med mig hjem og vederkvæg dig, saa vil jeg give dig en Gave!«
8 And the man of God says to the king, “If you give to me the half of your house, I do not go in with you, nor do I eat bread, nor do I drink water, in this place;
Men den Guds Mand svarede Kongen: »Om du saa giver mig Halvdelen af dit Hus, vil jeg ikke følge med dig, og jeg vil hverken spise eller drikke paa dette Sted;
9 for so He commanded me by the word of YHWH, saying, You do not eat bread nor drink water, nor return in the way that you have come.”
thi det Bud har jeg faaet med HERRENS Ord: Du maa hverken spise eller drikke, og du maa ikke vende hjem ad den Vej, du kom!«
10 And he goes on in another way, and has not turned back in the way in which he came in to Beth-El.
Derpaa drog han bort ad en anden Vej og vendte ikke hjem ad den Vej, han var kommet til Betel.
11 And a certain aged prophet is dwelling in Beth-El, and his son comes and recounts to him every deed that the man of God has done today in Beth-El, the words that he has spoken to the king—indeed, they recount them to their father.
Nu boede der i Betel en gammel Profet; hans Sønner kom og fortalte ham om alt, hvad den Guds Mand den Dag havde gjort i Betel, og om de Ord, han havde talt til Kongen. Men da de havde fortalt deres Fader det,
12 And their father says to them, “Where [is] this—the way he has gone?” And his sons see the way that the man of God who came from Judah has gone.
spurgte han dem: »Hvilken Vej gik han?« Og hans Sønner viste ham, hvilken Vej den Guds Mand, der var kommet fra Juda, var gaaet.
13 And he says to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me,” and they saddle the donkey for him, and he rides on it,
Da sagde han til sine Sønner: »Læg Sadelen paa mit Æsel!« Og da de havde sadlet Æselet, satte han sig op,
14 and goes after the man of God, and finds him sitting under the oak, and says to him, “Are you the man of God who has come from Judah?” And he says, “I [am].”
red efter den Guds Mand og traf ham siddende under Egetræet. Han spurgte ham da: »Er du den Guds Mand, der kom fra Juda?« Han svarede: »Ja!«
15 And he says to him, “Come with me to the house and eat bread.”
Saa sagde han til ham: »Kom med mig hjem og faa noget at spise!«
16 And he says, “I am not able to return with you, and to go in with you, nor do I eat bread or drink water with you in this place,
Men han svarede: »Jeg kan ikke vende om og følge med dig, og jeg kan hverken spise eller drikke sammen med dig paa dette Sted,
17 for [there is] a word to me by the word of YHWH, You do not eat bread nor drink water there [and] you do not return to go in the way in which you came.”
thi der er sagt mig med HERRENS Ord: Du maa hverken spise eller drikke der, og du maa ikke vende tilbage ad den Vej, du kom!«
18 And he says to him, “I [am] also a prophet like you, and a messenger spoke to me by the word of YHWH, saying, Bring him back with you to your house, and he eats bread and drinks water.” He has lied to him.
Da sagde han til ham: »Ogsaa jeg er Profet som du, og en Engel har med HERRENS Ord sagt til mig: Tag ham med dig hjem, for at han kan faa noget at spise og drikke!« Men han løj for ham.
19 And he turns back with him, and eats bread in his house, and drinks water.
Saa vendte han tilbage med ham og spiste og drak i hans Hus.
20 And it comes to pass—they are sitting at the table—and [there] is a word of YHWH to the prophet who brought him back,
Men medens de sad til Bords, kom HERRENS Ord til Profeten, der havde faaet ham tilbage,
21 and he calls to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “Thus said YHWH: Because that you have provoked the mouth of YHWH, and have not kept the command that your God YHWH charged you,
og han raabte til den Guds Mand, der var kommet fra Juda: »Saa siger HERREN: Fordi du har været genstridig mod HERRENS Ord og ikke holdt det Bud, HERREN din Gud paalagde dig,
22 and turn back and eat bread and drink water in the place of which He said to you, You do not eat bread nor drink water—your carcass does not come into the burying-place of your fathers.”
men vendte tilbage og spiste og drak paa det Sted, hvor han sagde, du ikke maatte spise og drikke, derfor skal dit Lig ikke komme i dine Fædres Grav!«
23 And it comes to pass, after his eating bread, and after his drinking, that he saddles the donkey for him, for the prophet whom he had brought back,
Efter at han havde spist og drukket, sadlede han Æselet til ham, og han gav sig paa Hjemvejen.
24 and he goes, and a lion finds him in the way, and puts him to death, and his carcass is cast in the way, and the donkey is standing near it, and the lion is standing near the carcass.
Men en Løve kom imod ham paa Vejen og dræbte ham. Og hans Lig laa henslængt paa Vejen, og Æselet stod ved Siden af; ogsaa Løven stod ved Siden af Liget.
25 And behold, men are passing by, and see the carcass cast in the way, and the lion standing near the carcass, and they come and speak [of it] in the city in which the old prophet is dwelling.
Og se, nogle Mænd kom der forbi og saa Liget ligge henslængt paa Vejen, og Løven staa ved Siden af, og de kom og fortalte det i Byen, hvor den gamle Profet boede;
26 And the prophet who brought him back out of the way hears and says, “It [is] the man of God who provoked the mouth of YHWH, and YHWH gives him to the lion, and it destroys him, and puts him to death, according to the word of YHWH that he spoke to him.”
og da Profeten, der havde faaet ham til at vende om, hørte det, sagde han: »Det er den Guds Mand, som var genstridig mod HERRENS Ord; derfor har HERREN givet ham i Løvens Vold, og den har sønderrevet ham og dræbt ham efter det Ord, HERREN talede til ham!«
27 And he speaks to his sons saying, “Saddle the donkey for me,” and they saddle [it].
Derpaa sagde han til sine Sønner: »Læg Sadelen paa mit Æsel!« Og da de havde gjort det,
28 And he goes and finds his carcass cast in the way, and the donkey and the lion are standing near the carcass—the lion has not eaten the carcass nor destroyed the donkey.
red han hen og fandt hans Lig liggende henslængt paa Vejen og Æselet og Løven staaende ved Siden af, uden at Løven havde ædt Liget eller sønderrevet Æselet.
29 And the prophet takes up the carcass of the man of God, and places it on the donkey, and brings it back, and the old prophet comes to the city to mourn and to bury him,
Da løftede Profeten den Guds Mands Lig op, lagde ham paa Æselet og førte ham tilbage til Byen for at holde Dødeklage og jorde ham;
30 and he places his carcass in his own grave, and they mourn for him, “Oh, my brother!”
og da han havde lagt Liget i sin egen Grav, holdt de Dødeklage over ham og sagde: »Ak ve min Broder!«
31 And it comes to pass, after his burying him, that he speaks to his sons, saying, “At my death—you have buried me in the burying-place in which the man of God is buried; place my bones near his bones;
Og efter at have jordet ham sagde han til sine Sønner: »Naar jeg dør, skal I lægge mig i samme Grav, som den Guds Mand ligger i; ved Siden af hans Ben skal I lægge mig, for at mine Ben kan blive skaanet sammen md hans;
32 for the word certainly comes to pass that he called by the word of YHWH concerning the altar which [is in] Beth-El, and concerning all the houses of the high places that [are] in cities of Samaria.”
thi det Ord skal gaa i Opfyldelse, som han med HERRENS Ord raabte mod Alteret i Betel og alle Offerhusene paa Højene i Samarias Byer!«
33 After this thing Jeroboam has not turned from his evil way, and turns back, and makes priests of high places from the extremities of the people; he who is desirous—he consecrates his hand, and he is of the priests of the high places.
Heller ikke efter denne Begivenhed opgav Jeroboam sin onde Færd, men gjorde paa ny alle Slags Folk til Præster paa Højene, idet han indsatte enhver, der havde Lyst, til Præst paa Højene.
34 And in this thing is the sin of the house of Jeroboam, even to cut [it] off, and to destroy [it] from off the face of the ground.
Og det blev Jeroboams Hus til Synd og førte til, at det blev tilintetgjort og udryddet af Jorden.
