Judges 9
1 And he went Abimelech [the] son of Jerub-Baal Shechem towards to [the] brothers of mother his and he spoke to them and to all [the] clan of [the] house of [the] father of mother his saying.
Jerubba'als Søn Abrimelek begav sig til sine Morbrødere i Sikem og talte til dem og til hele sin Moders Fædrenehus's Slægt og sagde:
2 Speak please in [the] ears of all [the] citizens of Shechem what? [is] good for you ¿ to rule over you seventy man all [the] sons of Jerub-Baal or? to rule over you a man one and you will remember that [am] bone your and flesh your I.
"Sig til alle Sikems Borgere: Hvad båder eder vel bedst, at halvfjerdsindstyve Mænd, alle Jerubba'als Sønner, eller at en enkelt Mand hersker over eder? Kom i Hu, at jeg er eders Bød og Blod!"
3 And they spoke [the] brothers of mother his on him in [the] ears of all [the] citizens of Shechem all the words these and it turned aside heart their after Abimelech for they said [is] brother our he.
Hans Morbrødre talte da alle disse Ord til alle Sikems Borgere til Gunst til ham; og deres Hu vendte sig til Abimelek, idet de sagde: "Han er vor Broder."
4 And they gave to him seventy silver (from [the] house of Baal-*L(abh)*) Berith and he hired for them Abimelech men unprincipled and undisciplined and they went after him.
De gav ham derpå halvfjerdsindstyve Sekel Sølv fra Ba'al Berits Hus, og for dem lejede Abimelek nogle dårlige og frække Folk, som sluttede sig til ham.
5 And he went [the] house of father his Ophrah towards and he killed brothers his [the] sons of Jerub-Baal (seventy *L(abh)*) man on stone one and he was left Jotham [the] son of Jerub-Baal young for he hid himself.
Derpå drog han til sin Faders Hus i Ofra og slog sine Brødre, Jerubba'als halvfjerdsindstyve Sønner, ihjel på een Sten. Kun Jotam, Jerubba'als yngste Søn, blev tilbage, thi han havde skjult sig.
6 And they gathered all [the] citizens of Shechem and all Beth Millo and they went and they made king Abimelech to king near [the] great tree set up which [was] in Shechem.
Derefter samledes alle Sikems Borgere og hele Millos Hus og gik hen og gjorde Abimelek til Konge ved Egen med Stenstøtten i Sikem.
7 And people told to Jotham and he went and he stood on [the] top of [the] mountain of Gerizim and he lifted up voice his and he called out and he said to them listen to me O citizens of Shechem so he may listen to you God.
Da Jotam fik Efterretning herom, gik han hen og stillede sig på Toppen af Garizims Bjerg og råbte med høj Røst til dem: "Hør mig, Sikems Borgere, så skal Gud høre eder!
8 Certainly they went the trees to anoint over them a king and they said to the olive tree (reign! *Q(k)*) over us.
Engang tog Træerne sig for at salve sig en Konge. De sagde da til Olietræet: Vær du vor Konge!
9 And it said to them the olive tree ¿ will I cease fatness my which by me people honor gods and men and will I go to sway over the trees.
Men Olietræet svarede dem: Skulde jeg give Afkald på min Fedme, for hvilken Guder og Mennesker priser mig, for at give mig til at svæve over Træerne?
10 And they said the trees to the fig tree come you reign over us.
Så sagde Træerne til Figentræet: Kom du og vær vor Konge!
11 And it said to them the fig tree ¿ will I cease sweetness my and fruit my good and will I go to sway over the trees.
Men Figentræet svarede dem: Skulde jeg give Afkald på min Sødme og min liflige Frugt for at give mig til at svæve over Træerne?
12 And they said the trees to the vine come you (reign *Q(k)*) over us.
Så sagde Træerne til Vinstokken: Kom du og vær vor Konge!
13 And it said to them the vine ¿ will I cease new wine my which makes glad gods and men and will I go to sway over the trees.
Men Vinstokken svarede dem: Skulde jeg give Afkald på min Most, som glæder Guder og Mennesker, for at give mig til at svæve over Træerne?
14 And they said all the trees to the thorn bush come you reign over us.
Da sagde alle Træerne til Tornebusken: Kom du og vær vor Konge!
15 And it said the thorn bush to the trees if in truth you [are] anointing me to king over you come take refuge in shade my and if not let it go out a fire from the thorn bush and let it consume [the] cedars of Lebanon.
Og Tornebusken svarede Træerne: Hvis I mener det ærligt med at salve mig til eders Konge, kom så og søg ind under min Skygge; men hvis ikke, så vil Flammer slå op af Tornebusken og fortære Libanons Cedre!
16 And now if in faithfulness and in integrity you have acted and you have made king Abimelech and if good you have done with Jerub-Baal and with house his and if according to [the] dealing of hands his you have done to him.
Hvis I nu er gået ærligt og redeligt til Værks, da I gjorde Abimelek til Konge, og hvis I har handlet vel mod Jerubba'al og hans Hus og gengældt ham, hvad han gjorde -
17 That he fought father my on you and he threw life his from in front and he delivered you from [the] hand of Midian.
min Fader kæmpede jo for eder og vovede sit Liv for at frelse eder af Midjaniternes Hånd,
18 And you you have risen up on [the] house of father my this day and you have killed sons his seventy man on stone one and you have made king Abimelech [the] son of female slave his over [the] citizens of Shechem for [is] brother your he.
men I har i bag rejst eder mod min Faders Hus, dræbt hans Sønner, halvfjerdsindstyve Mænd, på een Sten og sat hans Trælkvindes Søn Abimelek til Konge over Sikems Borgere, fordi han er eders Broder
19 And if in faithfulness and in integrity you have acted with Jerub-Baal and with house his the day this rejoice in Abimelech so he may rejoice also he in you.
ja, hvis I i Dag er gået ærligt og redeligt til Værks mod Jerubba'al og hans Hus, så gid I må få Glæde af Abimelek, og gid han må få Glæde af eder;
20 And if not let it go out a fire from Abimelech and let it consume [the] citizens of Shechem and Beth Millo and let it go out a fire from [the] citizens of Shechem and from Beth Millo and let it consume Abimelech.
men hvis ikke, så slå Flammer op fra Abimelek og fortære Sikems Borgere og Millos Hus, og Flammer slå op fra Sikems Borgere og Millos Hus og fortære Abimelek!"
21 And he fled Jotham and he ran away and he went Beer towards and he dwelt there [away] from before Abimelech brother his.
Derpå tog Jotam Flugten og flygtede til Be'er; og der tog han Ophold for at være i Sikkerhed for sin Broder Abimelek.
22 And he ruled Abimelech over Israel three years.
Da Abimelek havde haft Magten over Israel i tre År,
23 And he sent God a spirit evil between Abimelech and between [the] citizens of Shechem and they dealt treacherously [the] citizens of Shechem with Abimelech.
sendte Gud en ond Ånd mellem Abimelek og Sikems Borgere. og Sikems Borgere faldt fra Abimelek,
24 To come [the] violence of seventy [the] sons of Jerub-Baal and blood their to put on Abimelech brother their who he killed them and on [the] citizens of Shechem who they strengthened hands his to kill brothers his.
for at Voldsgerningen mod Jerubba'als halvfjerdsindstyve Sønner kunde blive hævnet og deres Blod komme over deres Broder Abimelek, som havde dræbt dem, og over Sikems Borgere, som havde sat ham i Stand til at dræbe sine Brødre.
25 And they set to him [the] citizens of Shechem ambushers on [the] tops of the mountains and they robbed every [one] who he passed by on them on the road and it was told to Abimelech.
Sikems Borgere lagde da Baghold på Bjergtoppene, og de udplyndrede alle vejfarende, der kom forbi dem. Dette meldtes Abimelek.
26 And he came Gaal [the] son of Ebed and brothers his and they passed on in Shechem and they trusted in him [the] citizens of Shechem.
Nu kom Ga'al, Ebeds Søn, med sine Brødre og flyttede ind i Sikem; og Sikems Borgere fattede Tillid til ham.
27 And they went out the field and they gathered grapes vineyards their and they trod [them] and they made rejoicings and they went [the] house of god their and they ate and they drank and they cursed Abimelech.
De begav sig ud i Marken, plukkede Druer og pressede dem og fejrede deres Vinhøstfest. Og de gik ind i deres Guds Hus, hvor de spiste og drak og udstødte Forbandelser over Abimelek.
28 And he said - Gaal [the] son of Ebed who? [is] Abimelech and who? [is] Shechem that we will serve him ¿ not [is he] [the] son of Jerub-Baal and [is] Zebul? deputy his serve [the] men of Hamor [the] father of Shechem and why? will we serve him we.
Da sagde Ga'al, Ebeds Søn: "Hvem er Abimelek, og hvad er Sikem, at vi skal være hans Trælle! Var ikke Jerubba'als Søn og hans Foged Zebul Trælle for Hamors, Sikems Faders, Mænd hvorfor skal vi da være hans Trælle?
29 And who? will he give the people this in hand my and I will remove Abimelech and he said of Abimelech make numerous army your and come out!
Havde jeg blot Magten over Folket her, skulde jeg nok skaffe Abimelek af Vejen!"
30 And he heard Zebul [the] official of the city [the] words of Gaal [the] son of Ebed and it burned anger his.
Da Zebul, Byens Høvedsmand, hørte Ga'als, Ebeds Søns, Urd, blussede hans Vrede op,
31 And he sent messengers to Abimelech in treachery saying here! Gaal [the] son of Ebed and brothers his [are] coming Shechem towards and here they [are] shutting up the city on you.
og han sendte Bud til Abimelek i Aruma og lod sige: "Se, Ga'al, Ebeds Søn, og hans Brødre er kommet til Sikem, og se, de ophidser Byen imod dig; forstærk derfor din Hær og ryk ud!
32 And therefore arise night you and the people which [is] with you and lie in wait in the field.
Og nu, bryd op ved Nattetide med dine Folk og læg dig i Baghold på Marken;
33 And it will be in the morning when rises the sun you will rise early and you will make a raid on the city and there! he and the people which [is] with him [are] going out against you and you will do to him just as it will find hand your.
og kast dig så over Byen tidligt om Morgenen, når Solen står op! Når da han og hans Folk rykker ud imod dig, kan du gøre med dem, hvad der falder for!"
34 And he arose Abimelech and all the people which [was] with him night and they lay in wait on Shechem four companies.
Abimelek brød da op ved Nattetide med alle sine Folk, og de lagde sig i Baghold imod Sikem i fire Afdelinger.
35 And he went out Gaal [the] son of Ebed and he stood [the] entrance of [the] gate of the city and he arose Abimelech and the people which [was] with him from the ambush.
Da gik Ga'al, Ebeds Søn, ned og stillede sig op ved Byporten. Og Abimelek og hans Folk rejste sig fra deres Baghold.
36 And he saw Gaal the people and he said to Zebul there! a people [is] coming down from [the] tops of the mountains and he said to him Zebul [the] shadow of the mountains you [are] seeing like men.
Da Ga'al fik Øje på Folkene, sagde han til Zebul: "Se, der stiger Folk ned fra Bjergtoppene!" Men Zebul sagde til ham: "Det er Bjergenes. Skygge, du tager for Mænd!"
37 And he repeated again Gaal to speak and he said there! a people [are] coming down from with [the] center of the land and a company one [is] coming from [the] direction of [the] great tree of [the] soothsayer.
Men Ga'al sagde atter: "Der stiger Folk ned fra Landets Navle, og en anden Skare kommer i Retning af Sandsigernes Træ!"
38 And he said to him Zebul where? then [is] mouth your O [you] who you said who? [is] Abimelech that we will serve him ¿ not [is] this the people which you rejected it go out please now and fight against him.
Da sagde Zebul til ham: "Hvor er nu dine store Ord fra før: Hvem er Abimelek, at vi skal være hans Trælle? Der er de Folk, du lod hånt om - ryk nu ud og kæmp med dem!"
39 And he went out Gaal before [the] citizens of Shechem and he fought against Abimelech.
Ga'al rykkede da ud i Spidsen for Sikems Borgere for at kæmpe mod Abimelek.
40 And he pursued him Abimelech and he fled from before him and they fell [those] fatally wounded many to [the] entrance of the gate.
Men Abimelek slog ham på Flugt, og mange faldt og lå dræbte helt hen til Byporten.
41 And he dwelt Abimelech at Arumah and he drove out Zebul Gaal and brothers his from dwelling at Shechem.
Abimelek tog så Ophold i Aruma; og Zebul jog Ga'al og hans Brødre bort fra Sikem.
42 And it was from [the] next day and it went out the people the field and people told to Abimelech.
Næste Dag begav Folket sig ud på Marken, og det meldtes Abimelek.
43 And he took the people and he divided them into three companies and he lay in wait in the field and he saw and there! the people [was] going out from the city and he rose up on them and he struck down them.
Han tog da sine Folk og delte dem i tre dele og lagde Baghold på Marken; og da han så Folket drage ud, overfaldt han dem og slog dem.
44 And Abimelech and the companies which [were] with him they made a raid and they stood [the] entrance of [the] gate of the city and [the] two the companies they made a raid on all [those] who [were] in the field and they struck down them.
Og Abimelek og den Afdeling, han havde hos sig, brød frem og tog Stilling ved Indgangen til Byen, medens de to andre Afdelinger kastede sig over alle dem, der var ude på Marken; og huggede dem ned;
45 And Abimelech [was] fighting against the city all the day that and he captured the city and the people which [was] in it he killed and he pulled down the city and he sowed it salt.
og efter at Abimelek hele Dagen igennem havde angrebet Byen, indtog han den, dræbte Folkene deri, nedbrød Byen og strøede Salt på den.
46 And they heard all [the] citizens of [the] tower of Shechem and they went into [the] underground chamber of [the] house of El-Berith.
Da hele Besætningen i Sikems Tårn hørte det, begav de sig ben til Kælderrummet i El Berits Hus.
47 And it was told to Abimelech that they had gathered together all [the] citizens of [the] tower of Shechem.
Og da Abimelek fik Melding om, at hele Besætningen i Sikems Tårn var samlet,
48 And he went up Abimelech [the] mountain of Zalmon he and all the people which [was] with him and he took Abimelech the axes in hand his and he cut off a branch of wood and he lifted up it and he put [it] on shoulder his and he said to the people which [was] with him whatever you have seen I have done hurry do like me.
gik han med alle sine Folk op på Zalmonbjerget. Her greb han en Økse, afhuggede et Knippe Grene, løftede det op og tog det på Skulderen; og han sagde til sine Folk: "Skynd eder at gøre det samme, som I så, jeg gjorde!"
49 And they cut off also all the people everyone own branch his and they went after Abimelech and they put [them] over the underground chamber and they set on fire over them the underground chamber with fire and they died also all [the] men of [the] tower of Shechem about a thousand man and woman.
Alle Folkene afhuggede da også hver sit Knippe og fulgte efter Abimelek og lagde det oven på Kælderrummet og stak Ild på Kælderrummet oven over dem. Således omkom også hele Besætningen i Sikems Tårn, henved 1000 Mænd og Kvinder.
50 And he went Abimelech to Thebez and he encamped at Thebez and he captured it.
Derefter drog Abimelek mod Tebez, og han belejrede Byen og indtog den.
51 And a tower of strength it was in [the] middle of the city and they fled there towards all the men and the women and all [the] citizens of the city and they shut [the] door behind them and they went up on [the] roof of the tower.
Inde i Byen var der et stærkt befæstet Tårn; derhen flygtede alle Mænd og Kvinder, alle Byens Indbyggere, idet de stængede efter sig og tyede op på Tårnets Tag;
52 And he came Abimelech to the tower and he fought against it and he drew near to [the] entrance of the tower to burn it with fire.
Abimelek rykkede da frem til Tårnet og angreb det; men da han nærmede sig Tårnets Indgang for at stikke Ild derpå,
53 And she threw a woman one a mill-stone of an upper mill-stone on [the] head of Abimelech and it crushed skull his.
kastede en Kvinde en Møllesten ned på Abimeleks Hoved og knuste hans Hjerneskal.
54 And he called quickly to the young man - [who] carried armor his and he said to him draw sword your and kill me lest people should say of me a woman she killed him and he pierced through him young man his and he died.
Da råbte han i Hast til sin Våbendrager: "Drag dit Sværd og dræb mig, for at det ikke skal siges, at en Kvinde har slået mig ihjel!" Og Våbendrageren gennemborede ham, så han døde.
55 And they saw [the] man of Israel that he was dead Abimelech and they went everyone to own place his.
Men da Israelitterne så, at Abimelek var død, begav de sig hver til sit.
56 And he repaid God [the] evil of Abimelech which he had done to father his by killing seventy brothers his.
Således gengældte Gud det onde, Abimelek havde øvet mod sin Fader ved at dræbe sine halvfjerdsindstyve Brødre;
57 And all [the] evil of [the] men of Shechem he repaid God on head their and it came to them [the] curse of Jotham [the] son of Jerub-Baal.
og al Sikemiternes Ondskab lod Gud komme over deres egne Hoveder. På den Måde kom Jotams, Jerubba'als Søns, Forbandelse over dem.
