Anden Kongebog 8
1 Og Elisa talte til den Kvinde, hvis Søn han havde gjort levende, og sagde: Gør dig rede og gak bort, du og dit Hus, og ophold dig, hvor du kan være som fremmed; thi Herren kalder ad Hungeren, og den skal komme i Landet i syv Aar.
And Elisha had spoken to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, Rise up and go, thou and thy household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn; for Jehovah has called for a famine, and it shall also come upon the land for seven years.
2 Og Kvinden gjorde sig rede og gjorde efter den Guds Mands Ord; og hun drog bort, hun og hendes Hus, og opholdt sig i Filisternes Land i syv Aar.
And the woman rose up, and did according to the saying of the man of God, and went, she and her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.
3 Og det skete, der de syv Aar vare til Ende, da kom Kvinden tilbage fra Filisternes Land, og hun gik ud at raabe til Kongen om sit Hus og om sin Ager.
And it came to pass at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines; and she went forth to cry to the king for her house and for her land.
4 Og Kongen talte med Gihesi, den Guds Mands Tjener, og sagde: Kære, fortæl mig alle de store Gerninger, som Elisa har gjort.
And the king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha has done.
5 Og det skete, der han fortalte Kongen, at han havde gjort en død levende, se, da raabte den Kvinde, hvis Søn han havde gjort levende, til Kongen om sit Hus og om sin Ager; da sagde Gihesi: Min Herre Konge! denne er Kvinden, og denne er hendes Søn, som Elisa gjorde levende.
And it came to pass as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.
6 Saa spurgte Kongen Kvinden ad, og hun fortalte ham det; da gav Kongen hende en Hofbetjent med og sagde: Skaf hende alt det igen, som hører hende til, med al Agerens Indkomme fra den Dag af, hun forlod Landet, og indtil nu.
And the king asked the woman, and she told him. And the king appointed a certain chamberlain, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the revenue of the land since the day that she left the country even until now.
7 Derefter kom Elisa til Damaskus, da Benhadad, Kongen i Syrien, var syg; og man gav ham det til Kende og sagde: Den Guds Mand er kommen hid.
And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-Hadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him saying, The man of God is come hither.
8 Da sagde Kongen til Hasael: Tag en Gave med dig, og gak den Guds Mand i Møde, og spørg Herren ad ved ham og sig: Skal jeg komme mig af denne Sygdom?
And the king said to Hazael, Take a present in thy hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of Jehovah by him, saying, Shall I recover from this disease?
9 Og Hasael gik ham i Møde og tog en Gave med sig og alle Haande godt fra Damaskus, fyrretyve Kamelers Byrde, og han kom og stod for hans Ansigt og sagde: Din Søn, Benhadad, Kongen i Syrien, sendte mig til dig og lader sige: Mon jeg skal komme mig af denne Sygdom?
And Hazael went to meet him, and took with him a present, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden; and he came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Ben-Hadad king of Syria has sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover from this disease?
10 Og Elisa sagde til ham: Gak og sig: Du skal aldeles ikke leve; thi Herren har ladet mig se, at han visselig skal dø.
And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, Thou wilt certainly recover. But Jehovah has shewn me that he shall certainly die.
11 Og han saa stift paa ham og det saa længe, indtil han bluedes derved; og den Guds Mand græd.
And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed; and the man of God wept.
12 Da sagde Hasael: Hvi græder min Herre? Og han sagde: Fordi jeg ved det onde, som du skal gøre Israels Børn; du skal sætte Ild paa deres faste Stæder og slaa deres unge Mandskab ihjel med Sværd og knuse deres spæde Børn og sønderhugge deres frugtsommelige Kvinder.
And Hazael said, Why does my lord weep? And he said, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do to the children of Israel: their strongholds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou kill with the sword, and wilt dash in pieces their children, and rip up their women with child.
13 Og Hasael sagde: Men hvad er din Tjener, den Hund, at han skulde gøre denne store Ting? Og Elisa sagde: Herren har ladet mig se, at du skal blive Konge over Syrien.
And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha said, Jehovah has shewn me that thou wilt be king over Syria.
14 Saa gik han fra Elisa og kom til sin Herre, og denne sagde til ham: Hvad sagde Elisa dig? Og han sagde: Han sagde mig: Du skal visselig leve.
And he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, What did Elisha say to thee? And he said, He told me [that] thou wouldest certainly recover.
15 Og det skete den næste Dag, da tog han Ryet og dyppede det i Vandet og udbredte det over hans Ansigt, og han døde; og Hasael blev Konge i hans Sted.
And it came to pass the next day, that he took the coverlet and dipped [it] in water, and spread it over his face, so that he died; and Hazael reigned in his stead.
16 Og i Jorams, Akabs Søns, Israels Konges, femte Aar, da Josafat var Konge i Juda, blev Joram, Josafats Søn, Konge i Juda.
And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, began to reign.
17 Han var to og tredive Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede otte Aar i Jerusalem.
He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
18 Og han vandrede i Israels Kongers Vej, ligesom Akabs Hus gjorde, thi Akabs Datter var hans Hustru; og han gjorde det onde for Herrens Øjne.
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab, for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the sight of Jehovah.
19 Men Herren vilde ikke ødelægge Juda for Davids, sin Tjeners, Skyld, saaledes som han havde tilsagt ham, at han vilde give ham i hans Sønner et Lys alle Dage.
But Jehovah would not destroy Judah, for David his servant's sake, as he had promised him to give him always a lamp for his sons.
20 I hans Dage faldt Edom af fra Judas Herredømme og satte en Konge over sig.
In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and they set a king over themselves.
21 Derfor drog Joram over til Zair, og alle Vognene med ham; og det skete, at han gjorde sig rede om Natten og slog Edom, som havde omringet ham, dertilmed de øverste over Vognene, og Folket flyede til deres Telte.
And Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him; and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites who had surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled into their tents.
22 Dog faldt Edom af fra Judas Herredømme indtil denne Dag; da faldt og Libna fra paa den samme Tid.
But the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
23 Men det øvrige af Jorams Handeler, og alt det, han gjorde, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog?
And the rest of the acts of Joram and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
24 Og Joram laa med sine Fædre og blev begraven hos sine Fædre, i Davids Stad, og Ahasia, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.
And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
25 I Israels Konge Jorams, Akabs Søns, tolvte Aar blev Ahasia, Jorams Søn, Konge i Juda.
In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, began to reign.
26 Ahasia var to og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede et Aar i Jerusalem, og hans Moders Navn var Athalia, Sønnedatter af Israels Konge Omri.
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
27 Og han vandrede i Akabs Hus's Vej og gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, ligesom Akabs Hus; thi han var besvogret med Akabs Hus.
And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of Jehovah, like the house of Ahab; for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
28 Og han drog i Krig med Joram, Akabs Søn, imod Hasael, Kongen af Syrien, til Ramoth i Gilead, og Syrerne sloge Joram.
And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against Hazael the king of Syria at Ramoth-Gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
29 Da vendte Kong Joram tilbage for at lade sig læge i Jisreel af de Saar, som Syrerne havde slaget ham ved Rama, der han stred imod Hasael, Kongen af Syrien; og Ahasia, Jorams Søn, Judas Konge, kom ned at besøge Joram, Akabs Søn, i Jisreel, fordi han laa syg.
And king Joram returned to be healed in Jizreel of the wounds that the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram the son of Ahab at Jizreel, for he was sick.
