2 Og han råbte med HERRENs Ord imod Alteret: "Alter, Alter! Så siger HERREN: Der skal fødes Davids Hus en Søn ved Navn Josias, og på dig skal han ofre Højenes Præster, som tænder Offerild på dig, og han skal brænde Menneskeknogler på dig!"
2 He cried against the altar by the word of the Lord, and said, “O altar, altar, thus says the Lord, ‘Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name; and on you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and human bones shall be burned on you.’”
3 Og samtidig kundgjorde han et Tegn, idet han sagde: "Dette er Tegnet på, at HERREN har talet: Se, Alteret skal revne, så Asken derpå vælter ud!"
3 Then he gave a sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign which the Lord has spoken, ‘Behold, the altar shall be split apart and the ashes which are on it shall be poured out.’”
4 Da nu Kongen hørte de Ord, den Guds Mand råbte mod Alteret i Betel, rakte Jeroboam sin Hånd ud fra Alteret og sagde: "Grib ham!" Men Hånden, han rakte ud imod ham, visnede, og han kunde ikke tage den til sig igen;
4 Now when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, “Seize him.” But his hand which he stretched out against him dried up, so that he could not draw it back to himself.
6 Da tog Kongen til Orde og sagde til den Guds Mand: "Bed dog HERREN din Gud om Nåde og gå i Forbøn for mig, at jeg kan tage Hånden til mig igen!" Og den Guds Mand bad HERREN om Nåde, og Kongen kunde tage Hånden til sig igen, og den var som før.
6 The king said to the man of God, “Please entreat the Lord your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me.” So the man of God entreated the Lord, and the king’s hand was restored to him, and it became as it was before.
8 Men den Guds Mand svarede Kongen: "Om du så giver mig Halvdelen af dit Hus, vil jeg ikke følge med dig, og jeg vil hverken spise eller drikke på dette Sted;
8 But the man of God said to the king, “If you were to give me half your house I would not go with you, nor would I eat bread or drink water in this place.
11 Nu boede der i Betel en gammel Profet; hans Sønner kom og fortalte ham om alt, hvad den Guds Mand den Dag havde gjort i Betel, og om de Ord, han havde talt til Kongen. Men da de havde fortalt deres Fader det,
11 Now an old prophet was living in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the deeds which the man of God had done that day in Bethel; the words which he had spoken to the king, these also they related to their father.
14 red efter den Guds Mand og traf ham siddende under Egetræet. Han spurgte ham da: "Er du den Guds Mand, der kom fra Juda?" Han svarede: "Ja!"
14 So he went after the man of God and found him sitting under an oak; and he said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” And he said, “I am.”
18 Da sagde han til ham: "Også jeg er Profet som du, og en Engel har med HERRENs Ord sagt til mig: Tag ham med dig hjem, for at han kan få noget at spise og drikke!" Men han løj for ham.
18 He said to him, “I also am a prophet like you, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the Lord, saying, ‘Bring him back with you to your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.’” But he lied to him.
21 og han råbte til den Guds Mand, der var kommet fra Juda: "Så siger HERREN: Fordi du har været genstridig mod HERRENs Ord og ikke holdt det Bud, HERREN din Gud pålagde dig,
21 and he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “Thus says the Lord, ‘Because you have disobeyed the command of the Lord, and have not observed the commandment which the Lord your God commanded you,
22 men vendte tilbage og spiste og drak på det Sted, hvor han sagde, du ikke måtte spise og drikke, derfor skal dit Lig ikke komme i dine Fædres Grav!"
22 but have returned and 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 grave of your fathers.’”
24 Men en Løve kom imod ham på Vejen og dræbte ham. Og hans Lig lå henslængt på Vejen, og Æselet stod ved Siden af; også Løven stod ved Siden af Liget.
24 Now when he had gone, a lion met him on the way and killed him, and his body was thrown on the road, with the donkey standing beside it; the lion also was standing beside the body.
25 Og se, nogle Mænd kom der forbi og så Liget ligge henslængt på Vejen, og Løven stå ved Siden af, og de kom og fortalte det i Byen, hvor den gamle Profet boede;
25 And behold, men passed by and saw the body thrown on the road, and the lion standing beside the body; so they came and told it in the city where the old prophet lived.
26 og da Profeten, der havde fået ham til at vende om, hørte det, sagde han: "Det er den Guds Mand, som var genstridig mod HERRENs Ord; derfor har HERREN givet ham i Løvens Vold, og den har sønderrevet ham og dræbt ham efter det Ord, HERREN talede til ham!"
26 Now when the prophet who brought him back from the way heard it, he said, “It is the man of God, who disobeyed the command of the Lord; therefore the Lord has given him to the lion, which has torn him and killed him, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke to him.”
28 red han hen og fandt hans Lig liggende henslængt på vejen og Æselet og Løven stående ved Siden af, uden at Løven havde ædt Liget eller sønderrevet Æselet.
28 He went and found his body thrown on the road with the donkey and the lion standing beside the body; the lion had not eaten the body nor torn the donkey.
29 Da løftede Profeten den Guds Mands Lig op, lagde ham på Æselet og førte ham tilbage til Byen for at holde Dødeklage og jorde ham;
29 So 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.
31 Og efter at have jordet ham sagde han til sine Sønner: "Når jeg dør, skal I lægge mig i samme Grav, som den Guds Mand ligger i; ved Siden af hans Ben skal I lægge mig, for at mine Ben kan blive skånet sammen md hans;
31 After he had buried him, he spoke to his sons, saying, “When I die, bury me in the grave in which the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones.
32 thi det Ord skal gå i Opfyldelse, som han med HERRENs Ord råbte mod Alteret i Betel og alle Offerhusene på Højene i Samarias Byer!"
32 For the thing shall surely come to pass which he cried 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.”
33 Heller ikke efter denne Begivenhed opgav Jeroboam sin onde Færd, men gjorde på ny alle Slags Folk til Præster på Højene, idet han indsatte enhver, der havde Lyst, til Præst på Højene.
33 After this event Jeroboam did not return from his evil way, but again he made priests of the high places from among all the people; any who would, he ordained, to be priests of the high places.
