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 three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Achazyahu the king of Judah became Jehoachaz the son of Jehu king over Israel in Samaria [for] 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 what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, and followed the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin: he departed not therefrom.
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 anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel; and he gave them up into the hand of Chazael the king of Syria, and into the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Chazael, all the time.
4 Men Joahas bad ydmygeligt til Herren, og Herren hørte ham; thi han saa til Israels Trængsel, thi Kongen af Syrien trængte dem.
And Jehoachaz besought the Lord; and the Lord hearkened unto him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Syria oppressed 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 Israel a deliverer, so that they came out from under the power of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as in times past.
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.
Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jerobo'am, who induced Israel to sin, therein the people walked: and the Asherah also remained standing 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.
For he had left of people to Jehoachaz none but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand men on foot; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust at threshing.
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?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoachaz, and all that he did, and his mighty deeds, behold, they are 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 Jehoachaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son became king 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 and seventh year of Joash the king of Judah became Jehoash the son of Jehoachaz king over Israel in Samaria, [for] 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 what is evil in the eyes of the Lord; he departed not from all the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin: therein he walked.
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 Joash, and all that he did, and his mighty deeds wherewith he fought against Amazyah the king of Judah, behold, they are 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 Joash slept with his fathers; and Jerobo'am sat upon his throne: and Joash 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 Elisha' was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he had to die. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and their horsemen.
15 Da sagde Elisa til ham: Tag Bue og Pile; og han tog Bue og Pile til ham.
And Elisha' said unto him, Fetch a bow and arrows. And he fetched unto him 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 of Israel, Place thy hand upon the bow. And he placed his hand [upon it]: and Elisha' laid 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. Then said Elisha', Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of victory from the Lord, and the arrow of victory over Syria; and thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till they be consumed.
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 he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Strike upon the ground. And he struck three times, and stopped.
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 angry with him, and said, Thou shouldst have struck five or six times; then wouldst thou have smitten the Syrians till they had been consumed: whereas now thou shalt smite the Syrians three times.
20 Og Elisa døde, og de begravede ham; og Moabs Tropper kom i Landet først paa Aaret.
And Elisha' died, and they buried him. And the predatory bands of Moabites frequently invaded the land at the coming in 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 the band; and they cast down the man into the sepulchre of Elisha': and as the man came, and touched the bones of Elisha', he revived, and rose up on his feet.
22 Og Hasael, Kongen af Syrien, havde trængt Israel alle Joahas's Dage.
But Chazael the king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoachaz.
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 became gracious unto them, and had mercy on them, and turned his regard unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, and he cast them not off from his presence even until now.
24 Og Hasael, Kongen af Syrien, døde, og hans Søn Benhadad blev Konge i hans Sted.
And Chazael the king of Syria died: and Ben-hadad his son became king 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 Jehoash the son of Jehoachaz took again the cities out of the power of Ben-hadad the son of Chazael, which he had taken out of the power of Jehoachaz his father in the war. Three times did Joash beat him, and he recovered the cities of Israel.
