Første Kongebog 16
1 Men til Jehu, Hananis Søn, kom HERRENs ord mod Ba'sja således:
Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasa, saying:
2 "Jeg ophøjede dig af Støvet og gjorde dig til Fyrste over mit Folk Israel, dog har du vandret i Jeroboams Spor og forledt mit Folk Israel til Synd, så de krænker mig ved deres Synder;
Forasmuch as I have exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel, and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins:
3 se, derfor vil jeg nu feje Basja og hans Hus bort og gøre det samme ved dit Hus, som jeg gjorde ved Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Hus;
Behold, I will cut down the posterity of Baasa, and the posterity of his house, and I will make thy house as the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
4 den af Basjas Slægt, som dør i Byen, skal Hundene æde, og den, som dør på Marken, skal Himmelens Fugle æde!"
Him that dieth of Baasa in the city, the dogs shall eat: and him that dieth of his in the country, the fowls of the air shall devour.
5 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Ba'sja, hvad han gjorde, og hans Heltegerninger, står jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.
But the rest of the acts of Baasa and all that he did, and his battles, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
6 Så lagde Ba'sja sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i Tirza; og hans Søn Ela blev Konge i hans Sted.
So Baasa slept with his fathers, and was buried in Thersa: and Ela his son reigned in his stead.
7 Desuden kom HERRENs Ord ved Profeten Jehu, Hananis Søn, mod Ba'sja og hans Hus både på Grund af alt det, han havde gjort, som var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, idet han krænkede ham ved sine Hænders Værk og efterlignede Jeroboams Hus, og tillige fordi han lod dette nedhugge.
And when the word of the Lord came in the hand of Jehu the son of Hanani the prophet, against Baasa, and against his house, and against all the evil that he had done before the Lord, to provoke him to anger by the works of his hands, to become as the house of Jeroboam: for this cause he slew him, that is to say, Jehu the son of Hanani, the prophet.
8 I Kong Asa af Judas seks og tyvende Regeringsår blev Ela, Ba'sjas Søn, Konge over Israel, og han herskede to År i Tirza.
In the six and twentieth year of Asa king of Juda, Ela the son of Baasa reigned over Israel in Thersa two years.
9 Så stiftede en af hans Mænd, Zimri, der var Fører for den ene Halvdel af Stridsvognene, en Sammensværgelse imod ham; og engang, da han i Tirza var beruset ved et Drikkelag i sin Paladsøverste Arzas Hus,
And his servant Zambri, who was captain of half the horsemen, rebelled against him: now Ela was drinking in Thersa, and drunk in the house of Arsa the governor of Thersa.
10 trængte Zimri ind og slog ham ihjel - i Kong Asa af Judas syv og tyvende Regeringsår - og blev Konge i hans Sted.
And Zambri rushing in, struck him and slew him in the seven and twentieth year of Asa king of Juda, and he reigned in his stead.
11 Da han var blevet Konge og havde besteget Tronen, lod han hele Basjas Hus dræbe uden at levne et mandligt Væsen og tillige hans nærmeste Slægtninge og Venner;
And when he was king and sat upon his throne, he slew all the house of Baasa, and he left not one thereof to piss against a wall, and all his kinsfolks and friends.
12 således udryddede Zimri hele Ba'sjas Hus efter det Ord, HERREN havde talet til Basja ved Profeten Jehu,
And Zambri destroyed all the house of Baasa, according to the word of the Lord, that he had spoken to Baasa in the hand of Jehu the prophet,
13 for alle de Synders Skyld, som Ba'sja og hans Søn Ela havde begået og forledt Israel til, så at de krænkede HERREN, Israels Gud, ved deres Afguder.
For all the sins of Baasa, and the sins of Ela his son, who sinned, and made Israel to sin, provoking the Lord the God of Israel with their vanities.
14 Hvad der ellers er af fortælle om Ela, alt, hvad han gjorde, står jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.
But the rest of the acts of Ela, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
15 I Kong Asa af Judas syv og tyvende Regeringsår blev Zimri Konge, og han herskede syv Dage i Tirza. Hæren var på det Tidspunkt ved at belejre Gibbeton, som tilhørte Filisterne;
In the seven and twentieth year of Asa king of Juda, Zambri reigned seven days in Thersa: now the army was besieging Gebbethon a city of the Philistines.
16 og da nu Hæren under Belejringen hørte, at Zimri havde sfiftet en Sammensværgelse mod Kongen og endda dræbt ham, udråbte hele Israel samme Dag i Lejren Omri, Israels Hærfører, til Konge.
And when they heard that Zambri had rebelled, and slain the king, all Israel made Amri their king, who was general over Israel in the camp that day.
17 Derpå hrød Omri op med hele Israel fra Gibbeton og begyndte at belejre Tirza;
And Amri went up, and all Israel with him from Gebbethon, and they besieged Thersa.
18 og da Zimri så at Byen var taget, begav han sig ind i Kongens Palads og stak det i Brand over sig; således døde han
And Zambri seeing that the city was about to be taken, went into the palace and burnt himself with the king’s house: and he died
19 for de Synders Skyld, han havde begået, idet han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, og vandrede i Jeroboams Spor og i de Synder, han havde begået, da han forledte Israel til at synde.
In his sins, which he had sinned, doing evil before the Lord, and walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin, wherewith he made Israel to sin.
20 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Zimri og den Sammensværgelse, han stiftede, står jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.
But the rest of the acts of Zambri, and of his conspiracy and tyranny, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
21 Ved den Tid delte Israels Folk sig, idet den ene Halvdel slutfede sig fil Tibni, Ginats Søn, og udråbte ham til Konge, medens den anden sluttede sig til Omri.
Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: one half of the people followed Thebni the son of Gineth, to make him king: and one half followed Amri.
22 Men den Del af Folket, der sluttede sig til Omri, fik Overtaget over dem, der sluttede sig til Tibni, Ginats Søn, og da Tibni døde ved den Tid, blev Omri Konge.
But the people that were with Amri, prevailed over the people that followed Thebni the son of Gineth: and Thebni died, and Amri reigned.
23 I Kong Asa af Judas een og tredivte Regeringsår blev Omri Konge over Israel, og han herskede tolv År. Først herskede han seks År i Tirza;
In the one and thirtieth year of Asa king of Juda, Amri reigned over Israel twelve years: in Thersa he reigned six years.
24 men siden købte han Samarias Bjerg af Semer for to Talenter Sølv og byggede på Bjerget en By, som han efter Semer, Bjergets Ejer, kaldte Samaria.
And he bought the hill of Samaria of Semer for two talents of silver: and he built upon it, and he called the city which he built Samaria, after the name of Semer the owner of the hill.
25 Omri gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, og handlede endnu værre end alle hans Forgængere;
And Amri did evil in the sight of the Lord, and acted wickedly above all that were before him.
26 han vandrede helt i Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Spor og i de Synder, han havde forledt Israel til, så at de krænkede HERREN, Israels Gud, ved deres Afguder.
And he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and in his sins wherewith he made Israel to sin: to provoke the Lord the God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
27 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Omri, alt, hvad han gjorde, og de Heltegerninger, han udførte, står jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.
Now the rest of the acts of Amri, and the battles he fought, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
28 Så lagde Omri sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i Samaria; og hans Søn Akab blev Konge i hans Sted.
And Amri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria, and Achab his son reigned in his stead.
29 Akab, Omris Søn, blev Konge over Israel i Kong Asa af Judas otte og tredivte Regeringsår, og Akab, Omris Søn, herskede to og tyve År over Israel i Samaria.
Now Achab the son of Amri reigned over Israel in the eight and thirtieth year of Asa king of Juda. And Achab the son of Amri reigned over Israel in Samaria two and twenty years.
30 Akab, Omris Søn, gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, i højere Grad end alle hans Forgængere.
And Achab the son of Amri did evil in the sight of the Lord above all that were before him.
31 Og som om det ikke var nok med, at han vandrede i Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Synder, ægtede han oven i Købet Jesabel, en Datter af Zidoniemes Konge Etba'al, og gik hen og dyrkede Ba'al og tilbad ham.
Nor was it enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat: but he also took to wife Jezabel daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians. And he went, and served Baal, and adored him.
32 Han rejste Ba'al et Alter i Ba'alstemplet, som han lod bygge i Samaria.
And he set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal, which he had built in Samaria,
33 Og Akab lavede Asjerastøtten og gjorde endnu flere Ting, hvorved han krænkede HERREN, Israels Gud, værre end de Konger, der havde hersket før ham i Israel. -
And he planted a grove: and Achab did more to provoke the Lord the God of Israel, than all the kings of Israel that were before him.
34 I hans Dage genopbyggede Beteliten Hiel Jeriko; efter det Ord, HERREN havde taleted Josua, Nuns Søn, kostede det ham hans førstefødte Abiram at lægge Grunden og hans yngste Søn Seguh at sætte dens Portfløje ind.
In his days Hiel of Bethel built Jericho: in Abiram his firstborn he laid its foundations: and in his youngest son Segub he set up the gates thereof: according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke in the hand of Josue the son of Nun.
