< Anden Kongebog 7 >

1 Da sagde Elisa: Hører Herrens Ord! saa sagde Herren: I Morgen ved denne Tid skal en Maade Mel koste en Sekel, og to Maader Byg en Sekel i Samarias Port.
And he said Elisha hear [the] word of Yahweh thus - he says Yahweh about this time - tomorrow a seah of fine flour for a shekel and two seahs barley for a shekel at [the] gate of Samaria.
2 Men Høvedsmanden, til hvis Haand Kongen hældede sig, svarede den Guds Mand og sagde: Se, om Herren gjorde Vinduer paa Himmelen, mon dette Ord kunde ske? og han sagde: Se, du skal se det med dine Øjne, men ikke æde deraf.
And he answered the officer who [belonged] to the king [who] was leaning on hand his [the] man of God and he said here! Yahweh [is] making windows in the heavens ¿ will it happen the thing this and he said here you [are] about to see with own eyes your and from there not you will eat.
3 Men der var fire spedalske Mænd, ved Indgangen til Porten, og de sagde den ene til den anden: Hvorfor blive vi her, indtil vi dø?
And four men they were [people] having a skin disease [the] entrance of the gate and they said each to neighbor his why? [are] we sitting here until we have died.
4 Om vi sige: Vi ville gaa ind i Staden, saa er der Hunger i Staden, og vi dø der, og om vi blive her, da maa vi og dø; saa kommer nu og lader os gaa over til Syrernes Lejr, lade de os leve, saa leve vi, og dræbe de os, saa dø vi.
If we said we will enter the city and the famine [is] in the city and we will die there and if we sat here and we will die and therefore come so let us fall to [the] camp of Aram if they will let live us we will live and if they will put to death us and we will die.
5 Og de gjorde sig rede i Tusmørket at komme til Syrernes Lejr; der de kom til det yderste af Syrernes Lejr, se, da var der ikke en Mand.
And they arose at twilight to go to [the] camp of Aram and they came to [the] edge of [the] camp of Aram and there! there not there [was] anyone.
6 Thi Herren havde ladet Syrernes Lejr høre en Lyd af Vogne og en Lyd af Heste, ja, en Lyd af en stor Hær, og de sagde, den ene til den anden: Se, Israels Konge har lejet imod os Hethiternes Konger og Ægypternes Konger til at komme over os.
And [the] Lord he had caused to hear - [the] camp of Aram a sound of chariotry a sound of horse[s] a sound of an army large and they said each to brother his here! he has hired on us [the] king of Israel [the] kings of the Hittites and [the] kings of Egypt to come on us.
7 Derfor gjorde de sig rede og flyede i Tusmørket og forlode deres Telte og deres Heste og deres Asener og Lejren, som den stod, og flyede for at redde deres Liv.
And they arose and they fled at twilight and they abandoned tents their and horses their and donkeys their the camp [was] just as it [was] and they fled to life their.
8 Der disse spedalske kom til det yderste af Lejren, da kom de til et Telt og aade og drak og toge derfra Sølv og Guld og Klæder og gik bort og skjulte det, og de vendte tilbage og kom til et andet Telt og toge ogsaa noget derfra og gik bort og skjulte det.
And they came the [people] having a skin disease these to [the] edge of the camp and they went into a tent one and they ate and they drank and they carried off from there silver and gold and clothes and they went and they hid [them] and they returned and they went into a tent another and they carried off [things] from there and they went and they hid [them].
9 Da sagde de, den ene til den anden: Vi gøre ikke ret, denne Dag er et godt Budskabs Dag, og skulde vi tie? dersom vi bie, indtil det bliver lys Morgen, da rammer vor Misgerning os; velan da, lader os gaa og give det til Kende for Kongens Hus!
And they said each to neighbor his not right - we [are] doing the day this [is] a day of good news it and we [are] silent and we will delay until [the] light of the morning and it will find us punishment and therefore come so let us go and let us tell [the] household of the king.
10 Og der de kom, raabte de til Stadens Portvagt, og de gave den det til Kende og sagde: Vi kom til Syrernes Lejr, og se, der var ikke en Mand eller et Menneskes Røst, men Heste bundne og Asener bundne og Teltene, saaledes som de vare.
And they went and they called out to [the] gatekeeper of the city and they told to them saying we went into [the] camp of Aram and there! there not there [was] anyone and [the] sound of anyone that except the horse[s] tied up and the donkey[s] tied up and tents [are] just as they [were].
11 Da raabte Portvagten og forkyndte det inde i Kongens Hus!
And he called out the gatekeepers and they told [the] household of the king within.
12 Og Kongen stod op om Natten og sagde til sine Tjenere: Jeg vil kundgøre eder, hvad Syrerne have gjort imod os: De vide, at vi lide Hunger, derfor ere de udgangne af Lejren for at skjule sig paa Marken, sigende: Naar de gaa ud af Staden, da ville vi gribe dem levende og komme ind i Staden.
And he arose the king night and he said to servants his let me tell please to you [that] which they have done to us Aram they know that [are] hungry we and they have gone out from the camp to hide themselves (in open country *Q(K)*) saying that they will come out from the city and we will seize them alive and into the city we will go.
13 Da svarede en af hans Tjenere og sagde: Lad dem dog tage fem af Hestene, som ere tilovers, som ere overblevne herinde; se, de ere som al Israels Hob, som ere overblevne herinde, se, de ere som al Israels Hob, der er omkommen; og lader os dog sende hen og se til!
And he answered one from servants his and he said and they may take please five of the horses remaining which they are left in it here they [will be] like all ([the] multitude of *Q(K)*) Israel which they are left in it here they [will be] like all [the] multitude of Israel which they have come to an end and let us send and we may see.
14 Da toge de to Vogne med Heste, og Kongen sendte dem efter Syrernes Hær og sagde: Drager hen og ser til!
And people took two chariot[s] horses and he sent [them] the king after [the] camp of Aram saying go and see.
15 Og der de droge efter dem indtil Jordanen, se, da laa hele Vejen fuld af Klæder og Tøj, som Syrerne havde kastet fra sig, der de hastede af Sted; og Budene kom igen og gave Kongen det til Kende.
And they went after them to the Jordan and there! all the road [was] full clothes and equipment which they had thrown away Aram (in hurrying of them *Q(K)*) and they returned the messengers and they told to the king.
16 Saa gik Folket ud og plyndrede Syrernes Lejr; og en Maade Mel kostede en Sekel og to Maader Byg en Sekel, efter Herrens Ord.
And it went out the people and they plundered [the] camp of Aram and it was a seah of fine flour for a shekel and two seahs barley for a shekel according to [the] word of Yahweh.
17 Men Kongen beskikkede den Høvedsmand, hvis Haand han hældede sig til, til at være ved Porten, og Folket traadte ham ned i Porten, saa at han døde, ligesom den Guds Mand havde talt, som havde talt det, der Kongen kom ned til ham.
And the king he appointed the officer who [was] leaning on hand his over the gate and they trampled him the people in the gate and he died just as he had spoken [the] man of God who he spoke when came down the king to him.
18 Thi det skete, som den Guds Mand havde talt til Kongen og sagt: I Morgen paa denne Tid skulle to Maader Byg koste en Sekel og en Maade Mel en Sekel i Samarias Port.
And it was as had spoken [the] man of God to the king saying two seahs barley for a shekel and a seah of fine flour for a shekel it will be about this time tomorrow in [the] gate of Samaria.
19 Og Høvedsmanden havde svaret den Guds Mand og sagt: Ja se, om Herren gjorde Vinduer paa Himmelen, mon det kunde ske efter dette Ord? og han havde sagt: Se, du skal se det med dine Øjne og ikke æde deraf.
And he had answered the officer [the] man of God and he said and here! Yahweh [is] making windows in the heavens ¿ will it happen according to the manner this and he said here you [are] about to see with own eyes your and from there not you will eat.
20 Og det gik ham saaledes; thi Folket traadte ham ned i Porten, saa at han døde.
And it happened to him thus and they trampled him the people in the gate and he died.
