< 1 Kings 13 >
1 And lo! a man of God, came in out of Judah, by the word of Yahweh, unto Bethel, —as Jeroboam was standing by the altar, to make a perfume.
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 made proclamation against the altar, by the word of Yahweh, and said, O altar! altar! Thus, saith Yahweh, —Lo! a son to be born unto the house of David, Josiah his name, who shall sacrifice upon thee the priests of the high-places, who are making a perfume upon thee, and, human bones, shall be burned upon thee;
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 he shall give, on that day, a sign, saying, This, is the sign of which Yahweh hath spoken, —Lo! the altar, is to be rent, and the ashes that are upon thee 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 the king heard the word of the man of God which he proclaimed against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam thrust forth his hand, from off the altar, saying—Lay hold of him! and his hand which he had thrust forth against him was dried up, that he could not draw it back to him.
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 Moreover, the altar, was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, —according to the sign which the man of God had given, by the word of Yahweh.
Og Alteret revnede, og Asken blev adspredt fra Alteret efter det underlige Tegn, som den Guds Mand havde givet ved Herrens Ord.
6 Then responded the king and said unto the man of God—Appease, I pray thee, the face of Yahweh thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored unto me. So the man of God appeased the face of Yahweh, and the hand of the king was restored unto him, and became as aforetime.
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 Then spake the king unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, —and let me give thee a present.
Og Kongen sagde til den Guds Mand: Kom hjem med mig, og vederkvæg dig, og jeg vil give dig en Gave.
8 But the man of God said unto the king—If thou wouldst give me the half of thy house, I would not go in with thee, —neither would I eat bread or 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, he charged me, by the word of Yahweh, saying, Thou shalt not eat bread, nor shalt thou drink water, —neither shalt thou come back by the way thou wentest.
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 another way, —and went not back by the way by which he came unto Bethel.
Og han gik bort ad en anden Vej og vendte ikke tilbage ad den Vej, som han var kommen til Bethel.
11 But, a certain aged prophet, was dwelling in Bethel, —whose sons came in and related to him all the deeds which the man of God had done that day in Bethel—and the words which he had spoken unto the king, and they related them to 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 said unto them, Which way then went he? Now his sons had seen the way which the man of God went who had come in out of 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 So he said unto his sons, Saddle for me, the ass. And they saddled for him the ass, and he rode thereon;
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 unto him—Art, thou, the man of God who came in out of Judah? And 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 said he unto him, Come home with me, —and eat bread.
Da sagde han til ham: Kom hjem med mig og æd Brød!
16 And he said—I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee, —neither will I eat bread or drink water with thee, 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 there came a message unto me by the word of Yahweh, Thou shalt neither eat bread, nor drink water there, —thou shalt not turn back to come by the way by which thou wentest.
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, like unto thee, and, a messenger, hath spoken unto me, by the word of Yahweh, saying—Bring him back with thee, into thy house, that he may eat bread, and drink water. He deceived 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 did eat bread in his house, and drank water.
Og han vendte tilbage med ham, og han aad Brød i hans Hus og drak Vand.
20 And so it was, as, they, were sitting at the table, yea, so it was, that the word of Yahweh came unto the prophet who had 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 out unto the man of God who had come in out of Judah, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh, —Forasmuch as thou hast rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, and hast not kept the commandment which Yahweh thy God commanded thee;
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 hast returned, and eaten bread and drunk water, in the place of which he said unto thee, Thou mayest neither eat bread nor drink water: thy dead body shall not enter the burying-place of thy 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 after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, 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 And, when he had gone, there met him a lion by the way, and slew him, —and his dead body was cast out in the way, and, the ass, was standing near it, and, the lion, was standing near the dead 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 lo! certain men, passing by, saw the dead body, cast out in the way, and the lion standing near the dead body, —so they came in, and spake [of it] in the city, wherein, the aged prophet, dwelt.
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, when the prophet who had brought him back from the way heard of it, he said—The man of God, it is, who rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, —therefore did Yahweh deliver him unto the lion, and it hath torn him and slain him, according to the word of Yahweh which he spake unto 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 And he spake unto his sons, saying, Saddle for me the ass. And they saddled it.
Og han talte til sine Sønner og sagde: Sadler mig Asenet; og de sadlede det.
28 So he went and found his dead body, cast out in the way, with, the ass and the lion, standing near the dead body, —the lion had neither eaten the dead body, nor had it 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 dead body of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back, —and the aged prophet came into the city, to make lamentation, 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 And he laid his dead body in his own grave, —and they lamented over him, [saying] —Alas, my 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 buried him, that he spake unto his sons, saying, When I die, then shall ye bury me in the grave wherein the man of God is buried; beside his bones, lay my 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 message which he proclaimed, by the ward of Yahweh, against the altar which is in Bethel, —and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.
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 turned not from his wicked way, —but again made, from the whole compass of the people, priests of high places, whomsoever he would, he installed, and he became priest of 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 so this thing became the sin of the house of Jeroboam, —that it should be both taken away and destroyed, from off the face of the ground.
Og denne Gerning blev Jeroboams Hus til Synd, saa at det skulde udslettes og udryddes af Jorderige.
