Første Kongebog 22
1 Og de sade stille tre Aar; der var ingen Krig imellem Syrerne og Israel.
And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
2 Men det skete i det tredje Aar, da drog Josafat, Judas Konge, ned til Israels Konge.
And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
3 Og Israels Konge sagde til sine Tjenere: Vide I, at Ramoth i Gilead hører os til? og vi tie stille om at tage den tilbage af Syriens Konges Haand!
And the king of Israel said to his servants, Know you that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?
4 Derefter sagde han til Josafat: Vil du drage med mig til Krig imod Ramoth i Gilead? og Josafat sagde til Israels Konge: Jeg vil være som du, mit Folk skal være som dit Folk, mine Heste som dine Heste.
And he said to Jehoshaphat, Will you go with me to battle to Ramothgilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.
5 Fremdeles sagde Josafat til Israels Konge: Kære, adspørg i Dag Herrens Ord!
And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray you, at the word of the LORD to day.
6 Da samlede Israels Konge Profeterne, ved fire Hundrede Mænd, og sagde til dem: Skal jeg drage til Krig imod Ramoth i Gilead eller lade det være? og de sagde: Drag op, og Herren skal give den i Kongens Haand.
Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, Shall I go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
7 Men Josafat sagde: Er her ikke endnu en Herrens Profet, at vi kunde spørge ham ad?
And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might inquire of him?
8 Og Israels Konge sagde til Josafat: Her er endnu een Mand, ved hvem man kan adspørge Herren, men jeg hader ham, fordi han spaar ikke godt over mig, men ondt, det er Mika, Jimlas Søn; og Josafat sagde: Kongen sige ikke saa!
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
9 Da kaldte Israels Konge ad en af Kammertjenerne og sagde: Hent hurtigt Mika, Jimlas Søn!
Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten here Micaiah the son of Imlah.
10 Og Israels Konge og Josafat, Judas Konge, sade hver paa sin Trone, iførte Kongedragt, paa en fri Plads ved Indgangen til Samarias Port, og alle Profeterne spaaede for deres Ansigt.
And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
11 Og Zedekia, Knaanas Søn, havde gjort sig Jernhorn, og han sagde: Saaledes sagde Herren: Med disse skal du stange Syrerne, indtil de aldeles udryddes.
And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and he said, Thus says the LORD, With these shall you push the Syrians, until you have consumed them.
12 Og alle Profeterne spaaede saaledes og sagde: Drag op imod Ramoth i Gilead og vær lykkelig, og Herren skal give den i Kongens Haand.
And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the king’s hand.
13 Og Budet, som var gaaet bort for at kalde paa Mika, talte til ham sigende: Kære, se, Profeternes Ord ere som af een Mund gunstige for Kongen; kære, lad dit Ord være ligesom Ordet af en af dem og tal gunstigt!
And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth: let your word, I pray you, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good.
14 Da sagde Mika: Saa vist som Herren lever, det som Herren siger mig, det vil jeg tale.
And Micaiah said, As the LORD lives, what the LORD says to me, that will I speak.
15 Og han kom til Kongen, og Kongen sagde til ham: Mika! skulle vi drage imod Ramoth i Gilead til Krig eller lade være? Og han sagde til ham: Drag op og vær lykkelig, og Herren skal give den i Kongens Haand.
So he came to the king. And the king said to him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
16 Og Kongen sagde til ham: Hvor mange Gange skal jeg besværge dig, at du intet siger mig uden Sandheden i Herrens Navn?
And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure you that you tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the LORD?
17 Da sagde han: Jeg saa al Israel adspredt paa Bjergene ligesom Faarene, der ingen Hyrde have; og Herren sagde: Disse have ingen Herre, lad dem vende tilbage hver til sit Hus med Fred!
And he said, I saw all Israel scattered on the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.
18 Da sagde Israels Konge til Josafat: Har jeg ikke sagt dig: Han spaar mig ikke godt, men ondt?
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell you that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?
19 Og han sagde: Hør derfor Herrens Ord: Jeg saa Herren sidde paa sin Trone, og al Himmelens Hær staaende hos ham ved hans højre og ved hans venstre Side.
And he said, Hear you therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
20 Og Herren sagde: Hvo vil overtale Akab, at han skal drage op og falde ved Ramoth i Gilead? og den ene sagde saa, og den anden sagde saa.
And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.
21 Da gik en Aand ud og stod for Herrens Ansigt og sagde: Jeg vil overtale ham; og Herren sagde til ham: Hvormed?
And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him.
22 Og han sagde: Jeg vil gaa ud og være en løgnagtig Aand i alle hans Profeters Mund; og han sagde: Du skal overtale ham, ja ogsaa formaa det; gak ud og gør saa!
And the LORD said to him, With which? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, You shall persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.
23 Og nu, se, Herren har givet en løgnagtig Aand i alle disse dine Profeters Mund; men Herren har talt ondt over dig.
Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets, and the LORD has spoken evil concerning you.
24 Da gik Zedekia, Knaanas Søn, frem og slog Mika paa Kinden og sagde: Hvorledes? er Herrens Aand gaaet over fra mig for at tale med dig?
But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak to you?
25 Og Mika sagde: Se, du skal se det paa den Dag, naar du gaar ind fra et Kammer til et andet for at skjule dig.
And Micaiah said, Behold, you shall see in that day, when you shall go into an inner chamber to hide yourself.
26 Da sagde Israels Konge: Tag Mika og før ham tilbage til Amon, Stadens Befalingsmand, og til Joas, Kongens Søn.
And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son;
27 Og du skal sige: Saa siger Kongen: Sætter denne i Fængsels Hus og bespiser ham med Trængsels Brød og Trængsels Vand, indtil jeg kommer med Fred.
And say, Thus says the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.
28 Og Mika sagde: Dersom du kommer tilbage med Fred, da har Herren ikke talt ved mig; og han sagde: Hører, I Folk alle sammen!
And Micaiah said, If you return at all in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me. And he said, Listen, O people, every one of you.
29 Saa drog Israels Konge og Josafat, Judas Konge, op imod Ramoth i Gilead.
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead.
30 Og Israels Konge sagde til Josafat: Jeg vil forklæde mig og saa gaa i Kampen, men tag du dine egne Klæder paa; og Israels Konge forklædte sig og gik i Slaget.
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but put you on your robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.
31 Men Kongen af Syrien bød sine to og tredive øverste for Vognene og sagde: I skulle ikke stride imod liden eller stor, uden imod Israels Konge alene.
But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel.
32 Og det skete, der de øverste for Vognene saa Josafat, da sagde de: Han er visselig Israels Konge, og de bøjede af for at stride imod ham. Da raabte Josafat.
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.
33 Og det skete, der de øverste for Vognene saa, at han ikke var Israels Konge, da vendte de tilbage fra ham.
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
34 Og en Mand spændte Buen paa Lykke og Fromme og skød Israels Konge mellem Remmene og Panseret; da sagde denne til sin Køresvend: Vend din Haand om og før mig ud af Hæren; thi jeg er saaret.
And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: why he said to the driver of his chariot, Turn your hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.
35 Og Kampen tog til paa den samme Dag, og Kongen blev holdt staaende i Vognen over for Syrerne, og han døde om Aftenen, og Blodet flød af Saaret midt i Vognen.
And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the middle of the chariot.
36 Og man udraabte igennem Lejren, der Solen gik ned, og sagde: Hver gaa til sin Stad og hver til sit Land!
And there went a proclamation throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country.
37 Saa døde Kongen og blev ført til Samaria, og de begrove Kongen i Samaria.
So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
38 Og man skyllede Vognen ved Samarias Dam; og Hundene slikkede hans Blod, hvor Skøgerne badede sig, efter Herrens Ord, som han havde talt.
And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armor; according to the word of the LORD which he spoke.
39 Men det øvrige af Akabs Handeler, og alt det han gjorde, og om det Elfenbens Hus, som han byggede, og om alle Stæderne, som han byggede, er det ikke skrevet i Israels Kongers Krønikers Bog?
Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
40 Og Akab laa med sine Fædre, og Ahasia, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.
So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
41 Og Josafat, Asas Søn, blev Konge over Juda i Akabs, Israels Konges, fjerde Aar.
And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
42 Josafat var fem og tredive Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede fem og tyve Aar i Jerusalem, og hans Moders Navn var Asuba, Silhis Datter.
Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
43 Og han vandrede i alle sin Fader Asas Veje og veg ikke derfra, men gjorde det, som var ret for Herrens Øjne.
And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places.
44 Dog bleve Højene ikke borttagne; Folket ofrede endnu og gjorde Røgelse paa Højene.
And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
45 Og Josafat holdt Fred med Israels Konge.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
46 Men det øvrige af Josafats Handeler og hans Magt, hvilken han skaffede sig, og hvorledes han har stridt, er det ikke skrevet i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog?
And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land.
47 Og de øvrige af Skørlevnerne, som vare blevne tilbage fra Asas, hans Faders, Dage, borttog han af Landet.
There was then no king in Edom: a deputy was king.
48 Og der var ingen Konge i Edom; men en Befalingsmand var Konge.
Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Eziongeber.
49 Og Josafat havde ti Tharsisskibe, som skulde drage til Ofir efter Guld; men de droge ikke derhen, thi Skibene bleve sønderslagne i Ezion-Geber.
Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab to Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with your servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.
50 Da sagde Ahasia, Akabs Søn, til Josafat: Lad mine Tjenere fare med dine Tjenere paa Skibene; men Josafat vilde ikke.
And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.
51 Og Josafat laa med sine Fædre og blev begraven med sine Fædre i Davids, sin Faders, Stad; og Joram, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.
Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel.
52 Ahasia, Akabs Søn, blev Konge over Israel i Samaria udi Josafats, Judas Konges, syttende Aar og var Konge over Israel to Aar.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin:
53 Og han gjorde det, som ondt var for Herrens Øjne, og vandrede i sin Faders Vej og i sin Moders Vej og i Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Vej, hans, som kom Israel tir at synde. Og han tjente Baal og tilbad ham og opirrede Herren, Israels Gud, alt ligesom hans Fader gjorde.
For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
