Anden Kongebog 1
1 Og Moab faldt af fra Israel efter Akabs Død.
Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
2 Og Ahasia faldt igennem Sprinkelværket i sin Sal i Samaria og blev syg; og han sendte Bud og sagde til dem: Gaar hen, adspørger Baal-Sebub, Ekrons Gud, om jeg skal leve efter denne Sygdom.
Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper room that was in Samaria, and was sick. So he sent messengers, and said to them, "Go, inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover of this sickness."
3 Men Herrens Engel sagde til Thisbiteren Elias: Staa op, gak hen at møde Kongen af Samarias Bud, og sig til dem: Mon det er, fordi der er ingen Gud i Israel, at I gaa bort at adspørge Baal-Sebub, Ekrons Gud?
But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, "Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and tell them, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you go to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron?
4 Derfor saa sagde Herren: Du skal ikke komme op af din Seng, som du lagde dig paa, men visselig dø; og Elias gik bort.
Now therefore thus says the LORD, "You shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die."'" Elijah departed.
5 Der Budene kom tilbage til ham, da sagde han til dem: Hvi komme I allerede igen?
The messengers returned to him, and he said to them, "Why is it that you have returned?"
6 Og de sagde til ham: Der kom en Mand op imod os og sagde til os: Gaar, vender tilbage til Kongen, som sendte eder, og siger til ham: Saa siger Herren: Mon det er, fordi der er ingen Gud i Israel, at du sender hen at adspørge Baal-Sebub, Ekrons Gud? derfor skal du ikke komme op af Sengen, som du lagde dig paa, men visselig dø.
They said to him, "A man came up to meet us, and said to us, 'Go, return to the king who sent you, and tell him, "Thus says the LORD, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you send to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.'"'"
7 Og han sagde til dem: Hvorledes var den Mands Skikkelse, som kom eder i Møde og sagde disse Ord til eder?
He said to them, "What kind of man was he who came up to meet you, and told you these words?"
8 Og de sagde til ham: Det var en Mand, som havde en laadden Kappe paa og var ombunden med et Læderbælte om sine Lænder; da sagde han: Det er Thisbiteren Elias.
They answered him, "He was a hairy man, and wearing a leather belt around his waist." He said, "It is Elijah the Tishbite."
9 Og han sendte en Høvedsmand over halvtredsindstyve med hans halvtredsindstyve til ham, og denne kom op til ham, og se, han sad paa Bjergets Top, og han sagde til ham: Du Guds Mand! Kongen siger: Kom ned!
Then the king sent a captain of fifty with his fifty to him. He went up to him; and look, he was sitting on the top of the hill. He said to him, "Man of God, the king has said, 'Come down.'"
10 Men Elias svarede og sagde til Høvedsmanden over halvtredsindstyve: Dersom jeg er en Guds Mand, da falde Ild ned fra Himmelen og fortære dig og dine halvtredsindstyve; og Ild faldt ned fra Himmelen og fortærede ham og hans halvtredsindstyve.
Elijah answered to the captain of fifty, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty." Fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
11 Og han sendte atter en anden Høvedsmand over halvtredsindstyve med hans halvtredsindstyve til ham, og denne tog Ordet og sagde til ham: Du Guds Mand! saa sasr de Kongen: Kom straks ned!
Again he sent to him another captain of fifty and his fifty. And he went up and said to him, "Man of God, the king has said, 'Come down quickly.'"
12 Og Elias svarede og sagde til dem: Dersom jeg er en Guds Mand, da falde Ild ned fra Himmelen og fortære dig og dine halvtredsindstyve; og Guds Ild faldt ned fra Himmelen og fortærede ham og hans halvtredsindstyve.
And Elijah answered and said to him, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty." The fire of God came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
13 Da sendte han igen en Høvedsmand over det tredje halvtredsindstyve med hans halvtredsindstyve; og den tredje Høvedsmand for halvtredsindstyve steg op og kom og bøjede sig paa sine Knæ for Elias og bad ham om Naade og talte til ham: Du Guds Mand! kære, lad min Sjæl og disse dine halvtredsindstyve Tjeneres Sjæle være dyrebare for dine Øjne.
And he tried again and sent a third captain with his fifty. The third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, and said to him, "Man of God, please let my life, and the life of these fifty your servants, be precious in your sight.
14 Se, der faldt Ild ned fra Himmelen og fortærede de to første Høvedsmænd over halvtredsindstyve og deres halvtredsindstyve; men nu, lad min Sjæl være dyrebar for dine Øjne!
Look, fire came down from the sky, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties. But now let my life be precious in your sight."
15 Da sagde Herrens Engel til Elias: Gak ned med ham, frygt ikke for hans Ansigt; og han gjorde sig rede og gik ned med ham til Kongen.
The angel of the LORD said to Elijah, "Go down with him. Do not be afraid of him." He arose, and went down with him to the king.
16 Og han talte til ham: Saa sagde Herren: At du sendte Bud til at adspørge Baal-Sebub, Ekrons Gud, mon det var, fordi der var ingen Gud i Israel, at du kunde adspørge hans Ord? derfor skal du ikke komme op af Sengen, som du lagde dig paa, men visselig dø.
He said to him, "Thus says the LORD, 'Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.'"
17 Saa døde han efter Herrens Ord, som Elias havde talt; og Joram blev Konge i hans Sted i det andet Jorams, Josafats Søns, Judas Konges, Aar, fordi han havde ingen Søn.
So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And his brother Jehoram began to reign in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
18 Men det øvrige af Ahasias Handeler, hvad han gjorde, er det ikke skrevet i Israels Kongers Krønikers Bog?
Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
