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!
And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said to him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramothgilead:
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 thou comest there, find Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and take him to an inner chamber;
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.
Then take the box of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not.
4 Og Drengen, Profetens Dreng, gik til Ramoth i Gilead.
So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramothgilead.
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 when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, To which of us all? And he said, To thee, O captain.
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 arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the LORD, even over Israel.
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 thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at 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.
For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab the males, both bound and free 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.
And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and 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 came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said to him, Is all well? Why came this mad fellow to thee? And he said to them, Ye know the man, and his communication.
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.
And they said, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus he spoke to me, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee 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.
Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehu is king.
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.
So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had kept Ramothgilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael 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.
But king Joram had returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it is your minds, then let none go forth nor escape from the city to go to tell it 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.
So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see 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 there stood a watchman on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take an horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?
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.
So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he doth 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!
Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind 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.
And the watchman told, saying, He came even to them, and doth not return: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously.
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, Make ready. And his chariot was made ready. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the portion 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 it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the harlotries of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?
23 Da vendte Joram om og flyede og sagde til Ahasia: Det er Forræderi, Ahasia!
And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O 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.
And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down 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:
Then said Jehu to Bidkar his captain, Take up, and cast him into the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for remember how that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden upon him;
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!
Surely I saw yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the LORD; and I will repay thee in this plot, saith the LORD. Now therefore take and cast him into the plot of ground, according to 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 when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu followed him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot. And they did so at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and 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 carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.
29 Og i Jorams, Akabs Søns, ellevte Aar, var Ahasia bleven Konge over Juda.
And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign 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 when Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and adorned her head, and looked out at a window.
31 Og der Jehu kom i Porten, da sagde hun: Er der Fred, du Simri, som slog sin Herre ihjel?
And as Jehu entered the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?
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 he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs.
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, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trod her under foot.
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 come in, he ate and drank, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, and bury her: for she is a king’s daughter.
35 Og der de gik hen at begrave hende, da fandt de intet af hende uden Pandeskallen og Fødderne og det flade af Hænderne.
And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms 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.
Therefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat 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 dead body of Jezebel shall be as refuse upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.
