Første Kongebog 21
1 Derefter hændte følgende. Jizrae'eliten Nabot havde en Vingård i Jizre'el lige ved Kong Akab af Samarias Palads.
And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
2 Akab sagde til Nabot: "Overlad mig din Vingård, for at jeg kan få den til Køkkenhave; den ligger jo lige ved mit Palads; jeg vil give dig en bedre Vingård i Bytte eller betale dig, hvad den er værd, i rede Penge, om du foretrækker det."
And Ahab spoke unto Naboth, saying, Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to you, I will give you the worth of it in money.
3 Men Nabot svarede Akab: "HERREN bevare mig fra at overlade dig mine Fædres Arvelod!"
And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto you.
4 Så gik Akab hjem, misfornøjet og ilde til Mode over det Svar, Jizre'eliten Nabot havde givet ham: "Jeg vil ikke overlade dig mine Fædres Arvelod!" Og han lagde sig til Sengs, vendte sit Ansigt bort og spiste ikke.
And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
5 Da kom hans Hustru Jesabel ind og sagde til ham: "Hvorfor er du så misfornøjet, og hvorfor spiser du ikke?"
But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is your spirit so sad, that you eat no bread?
6 Han svarede hende: "Jo, jeg sagde til Jizreeliten Nabot: Overlad mig din Vingård for rede Penge, eller mod at jeg giver dig en anden Vingård i Bytte, om du hellere vil det! Men han svarede: Jeg vil ikke overlade dig min Vingård!"
And he said unto her, Because I spoke unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it please you, I will give you another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give you my vineyard.
7 Da sagde hans Hustru Jesabel til ham: "Er det dig, der for Tiden er Konge i Israel? Stå op, spis og vær ved godt Mod, jeg skal skaffe dig Jizre'eliten Nabots Vingård!"
And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry: I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
8 Derpå skrev hun et Brev i Akabs Navn, satte hans Segl under og sendte det til de Ældste og de fornemme i Nabots By, dem, han boede imellem.
So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
9 I Brevet havde hun skrevet: "Udråb en Fastedag og sæt Nabot øverst blandt Folket
And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:
10 og lige over for ham to Niddinger, som kan vidne imod ham og sige: Du har forbandet Gud og Kongen! Og før ham så ud og sten ham til Døde!"
And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, You did blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.
11 Hans Bysbørn, de Ældste og de fornemme, som boede i hans By, gjorde nu, som Jesabel havde sendt Bud til dem om, således som der stod i Brevet, hun havde sendt dem;
And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
12 de udråbte en Fastedag og satte Nabot øverst blandt Folket;
They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
13 og de to Niddinger kom og satte sig lige over for ham og vidnede imod ham i Folkets Påhør og sagde: "Nabot har forbandet Gud og Kongen!" Og derpå førte de ham uden for Byen og stenede ham til Døde.
And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
14 Så sendte de Jesabel det Bud: "Nabot er stenet til Døde!"
Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
15 Og da Jesabel hørte, at Nabot var stenet til Døde, sagde hun til Akab: "Stå op og tag Jizre'eliten Nabots Vingård, som han vægrede sig ved at sælge dig, i Besiddelse, thi Nabot lever ikke mere, han er død!"
And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
16 Så snart Akab hørte, at Nabot var død, rejste han sig og gik ned til Jizre'eliten Nabots Vingård for at tage den i Besiddelse.
And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
17 Men HERRENs Ord kom til Tisjbiten Elias således:
And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18 "Stå op, gå Akab, Israels Konge i Samaria, i Møde; han er just i Nabots Vingård, som han er gået ned at tage i Besiddelse.
Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he is gone down to possess it.
19 Og tal således til ham: Så siger HERREN: Har du myrdet og allerede tiltrådt Arven? Sig fremdeles til ham: Så siger HERREN: På samme Sted, Hundene slikkede Nabots Blod, skal de også slikke dit!"
And you shall speak unto him, saying, Thus says the LORD, Have you killed, and also taken possession? And you shall speak unto him, saying, Thus says the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick your blood, even yours.
20 Da sagde Akab til Elias: "Har du fundet mig, min Fjende?" Og han svarede: "Ja, jeg har fundet dig! Fordi du har solgt dig selv til at gøre, hvad der er ondt i HERRENs Øjne,
And Ahab said to Elijah, Have you found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found you: because you have sold yourself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.
21 se, derfor vil jeg bringe Ulykke over dig og feje dig bort og udrydde hvert mandligt Væsen, store og små, af Akabs Slægt, i Israel;
Behold, I will bring evil upon you, and will take away your posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisses against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
22 jeg vil handle med dit Hus som med Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Hus og Basjas, Abijas Søns, Hus for den Krænkelse, du har øvet, og fordi du har forledt Israel til Synd.
And will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith you have provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.
23 Men også om Jesabel har HERREN talet og sagt: Hundene skal æde Jesabel på Jizre'els Mark!
And of Jezebel also spoke the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
24 Den af Akabs Slægt, der dør i Byen, skal Hundene æde, og den, der dør på Marken, skal Himmelens Fugle æde!"
Him that dies of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dies in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
25 Aldrig har der været nogen der som Akab solgte sig selv til at gøre, hvad der er ondt i HERRENs Øjne, fordi hans Hustru Jesabel forledte ham dertil;
But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
26 han handlede såre vederstyggeligt, idet han boldt sig til Afgudsbillederne ganske som Amoriterne, dem, HERREN drev bort foran Israeliterne.
And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
27 Da Akab hørte de Ord, sønderrev han sine Klæder og bandt Sæk om sin bare Krop og fastede, og han sov i Sæk og gik sagtelig om.
And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
28 Da kom HERRENs Ord til Tisjbiten Elias således:
And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
29 "Har du set, hvorledes Akab ydmyger sig for mig? Fordi han ydmyger sig for mig, vil jeg ikke lade Ulykken komme i hans Dage; i hans Søns Dage vil jeg lade Ulykken komme over hans Hus!"
See you how Ahab humbles himself before me? because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.
