Første Kongebog 22
1 Og de sade stille tre Aar; der var ingen Krig imellem Syrerne og Israel.
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.
In the third year, 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!
The king of Israel said to his servants, “You know that Ramoth Gilead is ours, and we do nothing, and don’t 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.
He said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to battle to Ramoth Gilead?” 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!
Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for Yahweh’s word.”
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, “Should I go against Ramoth Gilead to battle, or should I refrain?” They said, “Go up; for the Lord will 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?
But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there here a prophet of Yahweh, that we may 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!
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Yahweh, Micaiah the son of Imlah; but I hate him, for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.” Jehoshaphat said, “Don’t let 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, “Quickly get 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.
Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying 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.
Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made himself horns of iron, and said, “Yahweh says, ‘With these you will push the Syrians, until they are consumed.’”
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.
All the prophets prophesied so, saying, “Go up to Ramoth Gilead and prosper; for 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!
The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “See now, the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth. Please let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak good.”
14 Da sagde Mika: Saa vist som Herren lever, det som Herren siger mig, det vil jeg tale.
Micaiah said, “As Yahweh lives, what Yahweh says to me, that I will 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.
When he had come to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall we forbear?” He answered 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?
The king said to him, “How many times do I have to adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in Yahweh’s name?”
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!
He said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. Yahweh said, ‘These have no master. Let them each return to his house in peace.’”
18 Da sagde Israels Konge til Josafat: Har jeg ikke sagt dig: Han spaar mig ikke godt, men ondt?
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn’t I tell you that he would not prophesy 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.
Micaiah said, “Therefore hear Yahweh’s word. I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the army 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.
Yahweh said, ‘Who will entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ One said one thing, and another said another.
21 Da gik en Aand ud og stod for Herrens Ansigt og sagde: Jeg vil overtale ham; og Herren sagde til ham: Hvormed?
A spirit came out and stood before Yahweh, and said, ‘I will entice 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!
Yahweh said to him, ‘How?’ He said, ‘I will go out and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ He said, ‘You will entice him, and will also prevail. Go out 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, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and Yahweh 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?
Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did Yahweh’s Spirit go 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.
Micaiah said, “Behold, you will see on that day when you go into an inner room to hide yourself.”
26 Da sagde Israels Konge: Tag Mika og før ham tilbage til Amon, Stadens Befalingsmand, og til Joas, Kongens Søn.
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.
Say, ‘The king says, “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!
Micaiah said, “If you return at all in peace, Yahweh has not spoken by me.” He said, “Listen, all you people!”
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 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.
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into the battle, but you put on your robes.” 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.
Now the king of Syria had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, “Don’t fight with small nor great, except 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.
When the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “Surely that is the king of Israel!” and they came over to fight against him. 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.
When the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, 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.
A certain man drew his bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor. Therefore he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around, and carry me out of the battle, for I am severely 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.
The battle increased that day. The king was propped up in his chariot facing the Syrians, and died at evening. The blood ran out of the wound into the bottom 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!
A cry went throughout the army about the going down of the sun, saying, “Every man to his city, and every man to his 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.
They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood where the prostitutes washed themselves, according to Yahweh’s word 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 built, and all the cities that he built, aren’t they 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 place.
41 Og Josafat, Asas Søn, blev Konge over Juda i Akabs, Israels Konges, fjerde Aar.
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-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. 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.
He walked in all the way of Asa his father. He didn’t turn away from it, doing that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes. However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
44 Dog bleve Højene ikke borttagne; Folket ofrede endnu og gjorde Røgelse paa Højene.
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 fought, aren’t they 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?
The remnant of the sodomites, that remained in the days of his father Asa, he put away 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 no king in Edom. A deputy ruled.
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 didn’t go, for the ships wrecked at 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 Ahaziah the son of Ahab said 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.
Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city. Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
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 in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he 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.
He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, 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, in which he 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.
He served Baal and worshiped him, and provoked Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger in all the ways that his father had done so.
