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 to the woman whose son he had revived, saying, “Rise and go, you and your household, and sojourn where you sojourn, for YHWH has called for a famine, and also, it is coming to 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 rises, and does according to the word of the man of God, and goes, she and her household, and sojourns in the land of the Philistines [for] 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 comes to pass, at the end of seven years, that the woman turns back from the land of the Philistines, and goes out to cry to the king for her house and for her field.

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 is speaking to Gehazi, servant of the man of God, saying, “Please recount to me the whole of 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 comes to pass, he is recounting to the king how he had revived the dead, and behold, the woman whose son he had revived is crying to the king for her house and for her field, and Gehazi says, “My lord, O king, this [is] the woman, and this [is] her son, whom Elisha revived.”

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 inquires of the woman, and she recounts to him, and the king appoints a certain eunuch to her, saying, “Give back all that she has, and all the increase of the field from the day of her leaving 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 comes to Damascus, and Ben-Hadad king of Aram is sick, and it is declared to him, saying, “The man of God has come here.”

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 says to Hazael, “Take a present in your hand, and go to meet the man of God, and you have sought YHWH by him, saying, Do I revive 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?

And Hazael goes to meet him, and takes a present in his hand, even of every good thing of Damascus, a burden of forty camels, and he comes in and stands before him, and says, “Your son Ben-Hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you, saying, Do I revive 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 says to him, “Go, say, You certainly do not revive, seeing [that] YHWH has showed me that he surely dies.”

11 Og han saa stift paa ham og det saa længe, indtil han bluedes derved; og den Guds Mand græd.

And he sets his face, indeed, he sets [it] until he is ashamed, and the man of God weeps.

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 says, “Why is my lord weeping?” And he says, “Because I have known the evil that you do to the sons of Israel—you send their fortifications into fire, and you slay their young men with sword, and you dash their sucklings to pieces, and you rip up their pregnant women.”

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 says, “But what [is] your servant—the dog, that he does this great thing?” And Elisha says, “YHWH has showed me you—king of Aram.”

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 goes from Elisha, and comes to his lord, and he says to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” And he says, “He said to me, You 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 comes to pass on the next day, that he takes the coarse cloth, and dips [it] in water, and spreads [it] on his face, and he dies, and Hazael reigns 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 son of Ahab, king of Israel—and Jehoshaphat [is] king of Judah—Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, has reigned;

17 Han var to og tredive Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede otte Aar i Jerusalem.

he was a son of thirty-two years in his reigning, and he has 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 walks in the way of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab did, for a daughter of Ahab was to him for a wife, and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH,

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.

and YHWH was not willing to destroy Judah, for the sake of His servant David, as He said to him, to give a lamp to him—to his sons [for] all the days.

20 I hans Dage faldt Edom af fra Judas Herredømme og satte en Konge over sig.

In his days Edom has revolted from under the hand of Judah, and they cause a king to reign over them,

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 passes over to Zair, and all the chariots with him, and he himself has risen by night, and strikes Edom that is coming around to him, and the heads of the chariots, and the people flee to their tents;

22 Dog faldt Edom af fra Judas Herredømme indtil denne Dag; da faldt og Libna fra paa den samme Tid.

and Edom revolts from under the hand of Judah until this day; then Libnah revolts at that 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 matters of Joram and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll 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 lies with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the City of David, and his son Ahaziah reigns 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 son of Ahab, king of Israel, Ahaziah son of Jehoram, king of Judah, has reigned;

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 [is] a son of twenty-two years in his reigning, and he has reigned one year in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Athaliah 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 walks in the way of the house of Ahab, and does evil in the eyes of YHWH, like the house of Ahab, for he [is] 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 goes with Joram son of Ahab to battle with Hazael king of Aram in Ramoth-Gilead, and the Arameans strike 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 Joram the king turns back to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds with which the Arameans strike him in Ramah, in his fighting with Hazael king of Aram, and Ahaziah son of Jehoram, king of Judah, has gone down to see Joram son of Ahab in Jezreel, for he is sick.
