Første Kongebog 22
1 Og de sade stille tre Aar; der var ingen Krig imellem Syrerne og Israel.
And there 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.
But it came to pass, in the third year, that Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down unto 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 unto his servants, Know ye that, ours, is Ramoth-gilead, —yet, we, are too idle to take it 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 unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to make war upon Ramoth-gilead?
5 Fremdeles sagde Josafat til Israels Konge: Kære, adspørg i Dag Herrens Ord!
And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people are us thy people, my horses as thy horses.
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 said Jehoshaphat unto the king of Israel, —Seek, I pray thee, at once, the word of Yahweh. So the king of Israel gathered together the prophets, about four hundred men, and said unto them—Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead, to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said—Go up, that the Lord may 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?
Then said Jehoshaphat, Is there not here a prophet of Yahweh, besides, —that we may seek, from 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 unto Jehoshaphat, Besides, is a certain man, by whom we might seek Yahweh, but, I, hate him, for he is never moved to prophesy concerning me anything good, only evil, Micaiah, son of Imlah. 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 a certain courtier, —and said, Hasten Micaiah 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.
Now, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, were sitting—each man upon his throne, having put on robes, in a level place, at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, —and, all the prophets, were being moved to prophesy 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.
when Zedekiah son of Chenaanah made himself horns of iron, —and said—Thus, saith Yahweh, —With these, shalt thou push down the Syrians, until thou hast 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, were being moved to prophesy, in like manner, saying, —Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and thou shalt prosper, and Yahweh will deliver it, into the hand of the king.
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!
Now, the messenger who went to call Micaiah, spake unto him, saying, Behold, I pray thee, the words of the prophets, with one mouth, are good, as touching the king, let thy word, I pray thee, be as the word of one of them, so wilt thou 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, —By the life of Yahweh, what Yahweh saith unto 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 unto the king, and the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he said unto him—Go up and prosper, and Yahweh will 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 unto him, How many times must, I, adjure thee, —that thou speak unto me nothing but truth, in the name of Yahweh?
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 among the mountains, like sheep that have no shepherd, —so Yahweh said, These have, no masters, let them return every man unto his own house, in peace.
18 Da sagde Israels Konge til Josafat: Har jeg ikke sagt dig: Han spaar mig ikke godt, men ondt?
Then said the king of Israel, unto Jehoshaphat, —Did I not say unto thee, He will not be moved to prophesy concerning me anything good, only calamity.
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.
Then he said, Therefore, hear thou the word of Yahweh, —I saw Yahweh, sitting upon his throne, and all the host of the heavens, 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 Yahweh said, Who will persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall, at Ramoth-gilead? And, one, said in this manner, and, another, said in 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?
Then came forth a spirit, and stood before Yahweh, 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 Yahweh said unto him—Wherewith? And he said—I will go forth, and become a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all his prophets, —So he said, —Thou mayest persuade, yea and prevail, 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, lo! Yahweh hath suffered a spirit of falsehood to be put into the mouth of all these thy prophets. But, Yahweh himself, hath spoken concerning thee, calamity.
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?
Then drew near Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, —and said—Where then passed the Spirit of Yahweh, from me, to speak unto thee?
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.
Then said Micaiah, Lo! thou art about to see, on that day, —when thou enterest a chamber within a chamber, to hide thyself.
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 unto Amon captain of the city, —and unto Joash son of the king;
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 thou shalt say—Thus, saith the king, Put this man into the prison, —and let him eat the bread of oppression, with the water of oppression, until I enter 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!
Then said Micaiah, If thou, return, in peace, Yahweh hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, ye peoples, all of you!
29 Saa drog Israels Konge og Josafat, Judas Konge, op imod Ramoth i Gilead.
So the king of Israel went up, with Jehoshaphat king of Judah, unto Ramoth-gilead.
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 unto Jehoshaphat—I am about to disguise myself, and enter into the battle, thou, therefore, put on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself, and entered 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.
Now, the king of Syria, had commanded the captains of chariots which he had, thirty and two, saying, Ye shall not fight with small or great, —save with the king of Israel alone.
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 chariot-captains saw Jehoshaphat, that, they, said: Surely it is, the king of Israel! But, when they turned aside against him to fight, 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 chariot-captains saw 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.
But, a certain man, drawing a bow in his innocence, smote the king of Israel, between the shoulder-joints and the coat of mail, —wherefore he said to his charioteer—Turn thy hand, and convey me out of the host, for I am sore 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.
But the battle increased that day, and, the king, was propped up in the chariot, before the Syrians, —and died in the evening, and so the blood of the wound ran out into the hollow 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 a loud cry went through the host, at the going in of the sun, saying—Every man to his own city! and every man to his own land!
37 Saa døde Kongen og blev ført til Samaria, og de begrove Kongen i Samaria.
So the king died, and was brought into 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, when the chariot was washed out at the pool of Samaria, the dogs lapped up his blood, also, the harlots, bathed [there], —according to the word of Yahweh which he had spoken.
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 story of Ahab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he built, 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.
Now, Jehoshaphat 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-five years old when he began to reign, and, twenty-five years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Azubah, 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 way of Asa his father, he turned not aside therefrom, —doing that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh: nevertheless, the high places, were not taken away, —still were the people offering sacrifices and burning incense 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 story of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he shewed, 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?
Moreover, the rest of the male devotees who remained in the days of Asa his father, he consumed out of the land.
47 Og de øvrige af Skørlevnerne, som vare blevne tilbage fra Asas, hans Faders, Dage, borttog han af Landet.
And, king, was there none in Edom, a prefect, was king.
48 Og der var ingen Konge i Edom; men en Befalingsmand var Konge.
Jehoshaphat, made ships of Tarshish, to go to Ophir, for gold; but they went not, —for ships had been broken to pieces in Ezion-geber.
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 son of Ahab, unto Jehoshaphat, Let, my servants, go with, thy servants, in the ships, —but Jehoshaphat did not consent.
50 Da sagde Ahasia, Akabs Søn, til Josafat: Lad mine Tjenere fare med dine Tjenere paa Skibene; men Josafat vilde ikke.
So 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 son of Ahab, began to reign over Israel, in Samaria, in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, —and reigned over Israel, two years.
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 the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —and went in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused, 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.
Yea he served Baal, and bowed down to him, —and provoked to anger Yahweh, God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
