Anden Kongebog 13

1 Idet tre og tyvende Joas's, Ahasias Søns, Judas Konges, Aar blev Joahas, Jehus Søn, Konge over Israel i Samaria i sytten Aar.

In the twenty-third year of Joas son of Ochozias king of Juda began Joachaz the son of Ju to reign in Samaria, [and he reigned] seventeen years.

2 Og han gjorde det onde for Herrens Øjne og vandrede efter Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Synder, med hvilke han kom Israel til at synde, han veg ikke derfra.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked after the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin; he departed not from them.

3 Derfor optændtes Herrens Vrede over Israel, og han gav dem i Hasaels, Syriens Konges, Haand og i Benhadads, Hasaels Søns, Haand alle Dage.

And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and delivered them into the hand of Azael king of Syria, and into the hand of the son of Ader son of Azael, all their days.

4 Men Joahas bad ydmygeligt til Herren, og Herren hørte ham; thi han saa til Israels Trængsel, thi Kongen af Syrien trængte dem.

And Joachaz implored the Lord, and the Lord listened to him, for he saw the affliction of Israel, because the king of Syria afflicted them.

5 Og Herren gav Israel en Frelser, og de slap fri for at være under Syrernes Magt; og Israels Børn boede i deres Telte som tilforn.

And the Lord gave deliverance to Israel, and they escaped from under the hand of Syria: and the children of Israel lived in their tents as heretofore.

6 Dog vege de ikke fra Jeroboams Hus's Synder, som han kom Israel til at synde med, men man vandrede derudi, og Astartebilledet blev ogsaa staaende i Samaria.

Only they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who led Israel to sin: they walked in them—moreover the grove also remained in Samaria.

7 Men Joahas beholdt ikke flere Folk tilovers end halvtredsindstyve Ryttere og ti Vogne og ti Tusinde Fodfolk; thi Kongen af Syrien havde ødelagt dem og gjort dem til Støv at træde paa.

Whereas there was not left any army to Joachaz, except fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand infantry: for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and they made them as dust for trampling.

8 Men det øvrige af Joahas's Handeler og alt, hvad han gjorde, og hans Vælde, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Israels Kongers Krønikers Bog?

And the rest of the acts of Joachaz, and all that he did, and his mighty acts [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

9 Og Joahas laa med sine Fædre, og de begravede ham i Samaria, og hans Søn, Joas blev Konge i hans Sted.

And Joachaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria: and Joas his son reigned in his stead.

10 I det syv og tredivte Joas's, Judas Konges, Aar blev Joas, Joahas's Søn, Konge over Israel i Samaria i seksten Aar.

In the thirty-seventh year of Joas king of Juda, Joas the son of Joachaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria sixteen years.

11 Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne; han veg ikke fra nogen af Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Synder, som han kom Israel til at synde med, men han vandrede deri.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord; he departed not from all the sin of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin: he walked in it.

12 Men det øvrige af Joas's Handeler og alt, hvad han gjorde og hans Vælde, hvorledes han stred med Amazia, Judas Konge, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Israels Kongers Krønikers Bog?

And the rest of the acts of Joas, and all that he did, and his mighty acts which he performed together with Amessias king of Juda, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

13 Og Joas laa med sine Fædre, og Jeroboam sad paa hans Trone; og Joas blev begraven i Samaria hos Israels Konger.

And Joas slept with his fathers, and Jeroboam sat upon his throne, and he was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.

14 Og Elisa blev syg af sin Sygdom, af hvilken han døde; og Joas, Israels Konge, kom ned til ham og græd for hans Ansigt og sagde: Min Fader, min Fader! Israels Vogne og hans Ryttere!

Now Elisaie was sick of his sickness, whereof he died: and Joas king of Israel went down to him, and wept over his face, and said, [My] father, [my] father, the chariot of Israel, and the horseman thereof!

15 Da sagde Elisa til ham: Tag Bue og Pile; og han tog Bue og Pile til ham.

And Elisaie said to him, Take bow and arrows. And he took to himself a bow and arrows.

16 Da sagde han til Israels Konge: Læg din Haand paa Buen; og han lagde sin Haand paa den, og Elisa lagde sine Hænder paa Kongens Hænder.

And he said to the king, Put your hand on the bow. And Joas put his hand upon [it]: and Elisaie put his hands upon the king's hands.

17 Og han sagde: Luk det Vindue op imod Østen! og han lukkede det op; og Elisa sagde: Skyd! og han skød. Og han sagde: En Frelses Pil fra Herren og en Frelses Pil imod Syrerne, og du skal slaa Syrerne i Afek, indtil du gør Ende paa dem.

And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. And Elisaie said, Shoot. And he shot. And [Elisaie] said, The arrow of the Lord's deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria; and you shall strike the Syrians in Aphec until you have consumed them.

18 Og han sagde: Tag Pilene; og han tog dem; og han sagde til Kongen af Israel: Slaa imod Jorden; og han slog tre Gange, og saa holdt han op.

And Elisaie said to him, Take bow and arrows. And he took them. And [he] said to the king of Israel, Strike upon the ground. And the king struck three times, and stayed.

19 Da blev den Guds Mand vred paa ham og sagde: Havde du slaget fem eller seks Gange, da skulde du have slaget Syrerne, indtil du havde gjort Ende paa dem; men nu skal du slaa Syrerne tre Gange.

And the man of God was grieved at him, and said, If you had struck five or six times, then you should have struck Syria till you had consumed them; but now you shall strike Syria [only] thrice.

20 Og Elisa døde, og de begravede ham; og Moabs Tropper kom i Landet først paa Aaret.

And Elisaie died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites came into the land, at the beginning of the year.

21 Og det skete, at de begravede en Mand, og se, da de saa Troppen, da kastede de Manden i Elisas Grav; og der Manden kom ned og rørte ved Elisas Ben, da blev han levende og stod op paa sine Fødder.

And it came to pass as they were burying a man, that behold, they saw a band [of men], and they cast the man into the grave of Elisaie: and as soon as he touched the bones of Elisaie, he revived and stood up on his feet.

22 Og Hasael, Kongen af Syrien, havde trængt Israel alle Joahas's Dage.

And Azael greatly afflicted Israel all the days of Joachaz.

23 Men Herren var dem naadig og forbarmede sig over dem og vendte sig til dem for sin Pagts Skyld med Abraham, Isak og Jakob og vilde ikke ødelægge dem og bortkastede dem endnu ikke fra sit Ansigt.

And the Lord had mercy and compassion upon them, and had respect to them because of his covenant with Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob; and the Lord would not destroy them, and did not cast them out from his presence.

24 Og Hasael, Kongen af Syrien, døde, og hans Søn Benhadad blev Konge i hans Sted.

And Azael king of Syria died, and the son of Ader his son reigned in his stead.

25 Og Joas, Joahas's Søn, tog de Stæder igen fra Benhadads, Hasaels Søns, Haand, som han havde taget fra Joahas's, hans Faders, Haand i Krigen; tre Gange slog Joas ham og fik Israels Stæder igen.

And Joas the son of Joachaz returned, and took the cities out of the hand of the son of Ader the son of Azael, which he had taken out of the hand of Joachaz his father in the war: thrice did Joas strike him, and he recovered the cities of Israel.
