1 Kings 13
1 Look, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD to Beth El: and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense.
Og se, der kom en Guds Mand af Juda efter Herrens Ord til Bethel, medens Jeroboam stod ved Alteret for at gøre Røgelse.
2 He cried against the altar by the word of the LORD, and said, "Altar, altar, thus says the LORD: 'Look, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name. On you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and they will burn men's bones on 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 He gave a sign the same day, saying, "This is the sign which the LORD has spoken: Look, the altar will be split apart, and the ashes that are on it will 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 It happened, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, that Jeroboam put out his hand from the altar, saying, "Seize him." His hand, which he put out against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back again 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 The altar also was split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given 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 The king answered the man of God, "Now plead for the favor of the LORD your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again." The man of God entreated the LORD, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was 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 The king said to the man of God, "Come home with me, and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward."
Og Kongen sagde til den Guds Mand: Kom hjem med mig, og vederkvæg dig, og jeg vil give dig en Gave.
8 The man of God said to the king, "Even if you gave me half of your house, I would not go in with you, neither would I eat bread nor drink water in this place;
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 for so was it commanded me by the word of the LORD, saying, 'You shall eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that 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 went another way, and did not return by the way that he came to Bethel.
Og han gik bort ad en anden Vej og vendte ikke tilbage ad den Vej, som han var kommen til Bethel.
11 Now there lived an old prophet in Bethel; and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. And they also told their father the words which he had spoken to the king.
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 Their father said to them, "Which way did he go?" Now his sons showed him the way the man of God went, who came from Judah.
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 He said to his sons, "Saddle the donkey for me." So they saddled the donkey for him; and he rode on it.
Da sagde han til sine Sønner: Sadler mig Asenet; og de sadlede Asenet til ham, og han red derpaa.
14 He went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak. He said to him, "Are you the man of God who came from Judah?" He said, "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 Then he said to him, "Come home with me, and eat bread."
Da sagde han til ham: Kom hjem med mig og æd Brød!
16 He said, "I may not return with you, nor go in with you; neither will I eat bread nor drink water with you 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 it was said to me by the word of the LORD, 'You shall eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that 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 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 with you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.'" 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 So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water.
Og han vendte tilbage med ham, og han aad Brød i hans Hus og drak Vand.
20 It happened, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came to the prophet who 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 cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, "Thus says the LORD, 'Because you have been disobedient to the mouth 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 came back, and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to you, "Eat no bread, and drink no water"; your body shall not come to the tomb 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 It happened, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back.
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 When he had gone, a lion met him by the way, and killed him. His body was cast in the way, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood 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 Look, men passed by, and saw the body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told 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 When the prophet who brought him back from the way heard of it, he said, "It is the man of God who was disobedient to the mouth of the LORD. Therefore the LORD has delivered him to the lion, which has mauled him and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke to him."
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 He spoke to his sons, saying, "Saddle the donkey for me." They saddled it.
Og han talte til sine Sønner og sagde: Sadler mig Asenet; og de sadlede det.
28 He went and found his body cast in the way, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body. The lion had not eaten the body, nor mauled the donkey.
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 The prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it on the donkey, and brought it back. And he came to the city of the old prophet to mourn and to bury him.
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 He laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, "Alas, my brother."
Og han lagde hans Legeme i sin egen Grav, og de begræd ham, sigende: Ak, min Broder!
31 It happened, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, "When I am dead, then bury me in the tomb in which the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside 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 saying which he proclaimed by the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, will surely happen."
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 After this thing Jeroboam did not return from his evil way, but again made priests of the high places from among all the people. He consecrated anyone who wanted to be a priest at 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 This thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the surface of the earth.
Og denne Gerning blev Jeroboams Hus til Synd, saa at det skulde udslettes og udryddes af Jorderige.
