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.
Now Elisha had spoken to the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, "Arise, and go, you and your household, and stay for a while wherever you can; for the LORD has called for a famine. It shall also come on the land 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.
The woman arose, and did according to the word of the man of God. She went with her household, and lived 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.
It happened at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines. Then 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.
Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, "Please tell me 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.
It happened, as he was telling the king how he had restored to life him who was dead, that look, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. 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.
When the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her a certain officer, saying, "Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits 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.
Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Aram was sick. It was told 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?
The king said to Hazael, "Take a present in your hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, 'Will 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 Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden, and came and stood before him, and said, "Your son Benhadad king of Aram has sent me to you, saying, 'Will 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.
Elisha said to him, "Go, say to him, 'You shall surely recover;' however the LORD has 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.
He settled his gaze steadfastly on him, until he was ashamed. Then 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.
Hazael said, "Why do you weep, my lord?" He answered, "Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel. You will set their strongholds on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword, and will dash in pieces their little ones, 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.
Hazael said, "But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he should do this great thing?" Elisha answered, "The LORD has shown me that you will be king over 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.
Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, "What did Elisha say to you?" He answered, "He told me that you would 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.
It happened on the next day, that he took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died. Then Hazael reigned in his place.
16 Og i Jorams, Akabs Søns, Israels Konges, femte Aar, da Josafat var Konge i Juda, blev Joram, Josafats Søn, Konge i Juda.
In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat then being 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. 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.
He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab; for he had the daughter of Ahab as wife. He did that which was evil in the sight 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.
However the LORD would not destroy Judah, for David his servant's sake, as he promised him to give to him a lamp for his children always.
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 made 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.
Then Joram passed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.
22 Dog faldt Edom af fra Judas Herredømme indtil denne Dag; da faldt og Libna fra paa den samme Tid.
So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to 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?
The rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, aren't they 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.
Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
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.
Twenty-two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. 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.
He walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did 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.
He went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth Gilead: and the Arameans 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.
King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Arameans had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
