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' spoke unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go, thou and thy household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn; for the Lord hath called for a famine, and it is also coming in 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 arose, and did after the word of the man of God; and she went, she with 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 end of seven years, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines; and she went forth to cry unto 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 just speaking with Gechazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Relate to me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha' hath 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 just relating to the king how he had restored the dead 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 Gechazi 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 of the woman, who related it to him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that belongeth to her, and all the products of the field since the day that she left the land, 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 even 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 unto Chazael, Take a present in thy hand, and go to meet the man of God, and inquire of the Lord from him, saying, Shall I recover from this sickness?
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?
So Chazael went to meet him, and took a present in his hand, and all manner of good things of Damascus, a burden for forty camels, and he came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Ben-hadad the king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover from this sickness?
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 unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover; nevertheless the Lord hath shown me that he shall surely die.
11 Og han saa stift paa ham og det saa længe, indtil han bluedes derved; og den Guds Mand græd.
And he restrained his countenance, and held back as long as he could: and then wept the man of God.
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 Chazael said, Why doth my Lord weep? And he said, Because I know what evil thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strong-holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and their children wilt thou dash, and their pregnant women wilt thou rip up.
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 Chazael said, But what is thy servant, the dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha' said, The Lord hath caused me to see thee as 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.
So he went away from Elisha', and came to his master; who said to him, What hath Elisha' said to thee? And he said, he said to me that thou couldst surely 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 on the morrow, that he took a cover lid, and dipped it in water, and spread it over his face, and he died: and Chazael became king 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 Achab the king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being yet king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah became king.
17 Han var to og tredive Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede otte Aar i Jerusalem.
Thirty and two years old was he when he became king, and eight years did he reign 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 the house of Achab had done; for a daughter of Achab had he for wife: and he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord.
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.
Yet would the Lord not destroy Judah for the sake of David his servant, as he said unto him, to give him a government and to his children at all times.
20 I hans Dage faldt Edom af fra Judas Herredømme og satte en Konge over sig.
In his days Edom revolted from under the power of Judah, and they appointed 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 Za'ir, and all the chariots were with him; and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites who compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots: and the people fled unto their tents.
22 Dog faldt Edom af fra Judas Herredømme indtil denne Dag; da faldt og Libna fra paa den samme Tid.
Yet Edom revolted from under the power of Judah even until this day; then did Libnah revolt 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, behold, they are 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 Achazyahu his son became king 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 Achab the king of Israel became Achazyahu, the son of Jehoram the king of Judah, king.
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.
Two and twenty years old was Achazyahu when he became king; and one year did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was 'Athalyahu, the [grand-]daughter of 'Omri the 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 Achab, and did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, like the house of Achab; for he was the son-in-law of the house of Achab.
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 Achab to the war against Chazael the king of Syria at Ramoth-gil'ad: and the Syrians smote 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 Yizre'el of the wounds which the Syrians had inflicted on him at Ramah, when he was fighting against Chazael the king of Syria. And Achazyahu the son of Jehoram the king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Achab in Yizre'el, because he was sick.
