Anden Kongebog 9
1 Da kaldte Profeten Elisa ad en af Profeternes Børn, og han sagde til ham: Bind om dine Lænder og tag denne Oliekrukke i din Haand og gak til Ramoth i Gilead!
Now the prophet Elisha called one of the sons of the prophets, and he said to him: “Gird your waist, and take this little bottle of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilead.
2 Og naar du kommer derhen, da se dig om efter Jehu, en Søn af Josafat, Nimsis Søn, og gak ind og lad ham staa op midt iblandt sine Brødre og led ham fra et Kammer til et andet;
And when you arrive in that place, you will see Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi. And upon entering, you shall raise him up from the midst of his brothers, and you shall lead him into an inner room.
3 og tag Oliekrukken og øs paa hans Hoved og sig: Saa sagde Herren: Jeg har salvet dig til Konge over Israel; og du skal oplade Døren og fly og ikke bie.
And taking the little bottle of oil, you shall pour it upon his head, and you shall say: ‘Thus says the Lord: I have anointed you as king over Israel.’ And you shall open the door and flee. And you shall not remain in that place.”
4 Og Drengen, Profetens Dreng, gik til Ramoth i Gilead.
Therefore, the young man, a servant of the prophet, went away to Ramoth Gilead.
5 Og der han kom derhen, se, da sade Høvedsmændene over Hæren der, og han sagde: Jeg har et Ord til dig, Høvedsmand! Og Jehu sagde: Til hvem iblandt os alle? og han sagde: Til dig, Høvedsmand!
And he entered that place, and behold, the leaders of the army were sitting there, and he said, “I have a word for you, O prince.” And Jehu said, “For which one among us all?” And he said, “For you, O prince.”
6 Da stod han op og gik ind i Huset, og han øste Olie paa hans Hoved og sagde til ham: Saa sagde Herren, Israels Gud: Jeg har salvet dig til Konge over Herrens Folk, over Israel.
And he rose up and entered into the room. And he poured the oil on his head, and he said: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘I have anointed you as king over Israel, the people of the Lord.
7 Og du skal slaa Akabs, din Herres, Hus, og jeg vil hævne mine Tjeneres, Profeternes, Blod og alle Herrens Tjeneres Blod paa Jesabel.
And you shall strike down the house of Ahab, your lord. And I will avenge the blood of my servants, the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, from the hand of Jezebel.
8 Og hele Akabs Hus skal omkomme, og jeg vil udrydde af Akabs alt Mandkøn, baade den bundne og den løsladte i Israel.
And I will destroy the entire house of Ahab. And I will cause to pass away from Ahab, whatever urinates against a wall, and whatever is lame, and whatever is least in Israel.
9 Og jeg vil gøre Akabs Hus ligesom Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Hus og som Baesas, Ahias Søns, Hus.
And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha, the son of Ahijah.
10 Og Hundene skulle æde Jesabel paa Jisreels Ager, og ingen skal begrave hende; og han lod Døren op og flyede.
Also, the dogs will consume Jezebel, in the field of Jezreel. Neither will there be anyone who may bury her.’” And then he opened the door, and he fled.
11 Og der Jehu gik ud til sin Herres Tjenere, sagde man til ham: Staar det sig vel? hvorfor kommer denne gale Mand til dig? Og han sagde til dem: I kende Manden og hans Tanke.
Then Jehu went out to the servants of his lord. And they said to him: “Is everything well? Why has this insane man come to you?” And he said to them, “You know the man, and what he said.”
12 Og de sagde: Det er falsk! giv os det dog til Kende; og han sagde: Saa og saa talte han til mig og sagde: Saa sagde Herren: Jeg har salvet dig til Konge over Israel.
But they responded, “That is false; instead, you should tell us.” And he said to them, “He said to me these certain things, and he said, ‘Thus says the Lord: I have anointed you as king over Israel.’”
13 Da skyndte de sig, og de toge hver sine Klæder og lagde under ham paa det øverste af Trapperne, og de blæste i Trompeten, og de sagde: Jehu er Konge.
And so they hurried away. And each one, taking his cloak, placed it under his feet, in the manner of a seat for judgment. And they sounded the trumpet, and they said: “Jehu reigns!”
14 Saa gjorde Jehu, en Søn af Josafat, Nimsis Søn, et Forbund imod Joram; og Joram laa for Ramoth i Gilead, han og al Israel, imod Hasael, Kongen af Syrien.
Then Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. Now Joram had besieged Ramoth Gilead, he and all of Israel, against Hazael, the king of Syria.
15 Men Kong Joram var kommen tilbage for at lade sig læge i Jisreel af de Saar, som Syrerne sloge ham, der han stred imod Hasael, Kongen af Syrien; og Jehu sagde: Dersom det er efter eders Sind, da skal ingen undkomme og slippe ud af Staden for at gaa bort og kundgøre det i Jisreel.
And he had returned, so that he might be cured at Jezreel, because of his wounds. For the Syrians had struck him, while he was fighting against Hazael, the king of Syria. And Jehu said, “If it pleases you, let no one depart, fleeing from the city; otherwise he may go and give a report in Jezreel.”
16 Da red Jehu hen og drog til Jisreel, fordi Joram laa der; og Ahasia, Judas Konge, var kommen ned at besøge Joram.
And he climbed up and set out for Jezreel, because Joram was sick there, and Ahaziah, the king of Judah, had gone down to visit Joram.
17 Og Skildvagten stod paa Taarnet i Jisreel og saa Jehus Hob, der han kom, og han sagde: Jeg ser en Hob; da sagde Joram: Tag en Rytter og send dem i Møde, og han skal sige: Er der Fred?
And so the watchman, who was standing upon the tower of Jezreel, saw the crowd of Jehu arriving, and he said, “I see a crowd.” And Joram said: “Take a chariot, and send to meet them. And those who go should say, ‘Is everything well?’”
18 Og Rytteren drog ham i Møde og sagde: Saa siger Kongen: Er der Fred? Og Jehu sagde: Hvad har du med Freden at gøre? vend dig omkring og følg mig; og Skildvagten kundgjorde det og sagde: Budet kom til dem og kommer ikke tilbage.
Therefore, he who had climbed into the chariot went away to meet him, and he said, “The king says this: ‘Is everything peaceful?’” And Jehu said: “What peace is there for you? Pass by and follow me.” Also the watchman gave a report, saying, “The messenger went to them, but he did not return.”
19 Da sendte han en anden Rytter; der han kom til dem, da sagde han: Saa sagde Kongen: Er der Fred? Og Jehu sagde: Hvad har du med Freden at gøre? vend dig omkring og følg mig!
And then he sent a second chariot of horses. And he went to them, and he said, “The king says this: ‘Is there peace?’” And Jehu said: “What peace is there for you? Pass by and follow me.”
20 Og Skildvagten kundgjorde det og sagde: Han kom til dem og kommer ikke tilbage, og det er en Fart ligesom Jehus, Nimsis Søns, Fart; thi han farer af Sted, som han var gal.
Then the watchman gave a report, saying: “He went all the way to them, but he did not return. But their advance is like the advance of Jehu, the son of Nimshi. For he advances precipitously.”
21 Da sagde Joram: Spænd for, og man spændte for hans Vogn; og de droge ud, Joram, Israels Konge, og Ahasia, Judas Konge, hver paa sin Vogn, og de droge ud Jehu i Møde, og de traf ham paa Jisreeliteren Naboths Ager.
And Joram said, “Yoke the chariot.” And they yoked his chariot. And Joram, the king of Israel, and Ahaziah, the king of Judah, departed, each in his chariot. And they went out to meet Jehu. And they met him in the field of Naboth, the Jezreelite.
22 Og det skete, der Joram saa Jehu, da sagde han: Jehu, er der Fred? Og han sagde: Hvad Fred? medens din Moder Jesabels Horerier og hendes Trolddomskunster ere saa mange!
And when Joram had seen Jehu, he said, “Is there peace, Jehu?” And he responded: “What is peace? For still the fornications of your mother, Jezebel, and her many poisons, are thriving.”
23 Da vendte Joram om og flyede og sagde til Ahasia: Det er Forræderi, Ahasia!
Then Joram turned his hand, and, fleeing, he said to Ahaziah, “Treachery, Ahaziah!”
24 Men Jehu greb med fuld Magt fat paa Buen og skød Joram imellem hans Arme, at Pilen for ud af hans Hjerte, og han segnede ned i sin Vogn.
But Jehu bent his bow with his hand, and he struck Joram between the shoulders. And the arrow went through his heart, and immediately he fell in his chariot.
25 Og han sagde til sin Høvedsmand Bidekar: Tag ham op og kast ham paa Jisreeliteren Naboths Ager; thi kom i Hu, der jeg og du rede sammen efter hans Fader Akab, at Herren udtalte denne Spaadom over ham:
And Jehu said to Bidkar, his commander: “Take and cast him into the field of Naboth, the Jezreelite. For I remember, when you and I, sitting in a chariot, were following Ahab, this man’s father, that the Lord lifted this burden upon him, saying:
26 Mon jeg ikke i Gaar saa Naboths Blod og hans Sønners Blod, siger Herren, og skal betale dig paa den Ager? siger Herren. Saa tag ham nu op og kast ham paa Ageren efter Herrens Ord!
‘Certainly, I will repay you in this field, says the Lord, for the blood of Naboth, and for the blood of his sons, which I saw yesterday, says the Lord.’ Therefore, take him now, and cast him into the field, in accord with the word of the Lord.”
27 Der Ahasia, Judas Konge, saa det, da flyede han ad Vejen til Havehuset; og Jehu forfulgte ham og sagde: Slaar ogsaa ham paa Vognen! Dette skete ved Opgangen til Gur, der ligger ved Jibleam; og han flyede til Megiddo og døde der.
But Ahaziah, the king of Judah, seeing this, fled along the way of the garden house. And Jehu pursued him, and he said, “Strike this one also in his chariot.” And they struck him on the ascent to Gur, which is beside Ibleam. But he fled into Megiddo, and he died there.
28 Og hans Tjenere lode ham føre til Jerusalem og begravede ham i hans Grav hos hans Fædre i Davids Stad.
And his servants placed him upon his chariot, and they took him to Jerusalem. And they buried him in the sepulcher with his fathers, in the city of David.
29 Og i Jorams, Akabs Søns, ellevte Aar, var Ahasia bleven Konge over Juda.
In the eleventh year of Joram, the son of Ahab, Ahaziah reigned over Judah.
30 Og Jehu kom til Jisreel; og Jesabel hørte det og satte Sminke paa sine Øjne og smykkede sit Hoved og saa ud igennem Vinduet.
And Jehu went into Jezreel. But Jezebel, hearing of his arrival, painted her eyes with cosmetics, and adorned her head. And she watched through a window,
31 Og der Jehu kom i Porten, da sagde hun: Er der Fred, du Simri, som slog sin Herre ihjel?
as Jehu was entering through the gate. And she said, “Is it possible for there to be peace for Zimri, who killed his lord?”
32 Og han løftede sit Ansigt op til Vinduet og sagde: Hvo er med mig, hvo? Da saa to eller tre Hofbetjente ud til ham.
And Jehu lifted up his face to the window, and he said, “Who is this woman?” And two or three eunuchs bowed down before him.
33 Og han sagde: Styrter hende ned! og de styrtede hende ned, og af hendes Blod overstænkedes Væggen og Hestene, og man søndertraadte hende.
And he said to them, “Throw her down with force.” And they threw her forcefully, and the wall was splattered with her blood, and the hoofs of the horses trampled her.
34 Og der han var kommen ind og havde ædt og drukket, da sagde han: Kære, ser efter denne forbandede og begraver hende, thi hun er en Konges Datter.
And when he had entered, so that he might eat and drink, he said: “Go, and see to that cursed woman, and bury her. For she is the daughter of a king.”
35 Og der de gik hen at begrave hende, da fandt de intet af hende uden Pandeskallen og Fødderne og det flade af Hænderne.
But when they had gone, so that they might bury her, they found nothing but the skull, and the feet, and the ends of her hands.
36 Da kom de igen og gave ham det til Kende, og han sagde: Det er det Herrens Ord, som han talte ved sin Tjener Thisbiteren Elias og sagde: Hundene skulle æde Jesabels Kød paa Jisreels Ager.
And returning, they reported to him. And Jehu said: “It is the word of the Lord, which he spoke through his servant, Elijah the Tishbite, saying: ‘In the field of Jezreel, the dogs will consume the flesh of Jezebel.
37 Og Jesabels døde Krop skal være som Møg paa Marken paa Jisreels Ager, saa at de ikke skulle kunne sige: dette er Jesabel.
And the flesh of Jezebel will be like dung upon the face of the earth, in the field of Jezreel, so that those who pass by may say: Is this that same Jezebel?’”
