Første Kongebog 22
1 De holdt sig nu rolige i tre Aar, der var ikke Krig mellem Aram og Israel.
And they continued three yeere without warre betweene Aram and Israel.
2 Og i det tredje Aar drog Kong Josafat af Juda ned til Israels Konge.
And in the third yeere did Iehoshaphat the King of Iudah come downe to ye King of Israel.
3 Da sagde Israels Konge til sine Folk: »I ved jo, at Ramot i Gilead hører os til, og dog rører vi os ikke for at tage det fra Arams Konge!«
(Then the King of Israel saide vnto his seruants, Knowe yee not that Ramoth Gilead was ours? and wee stay, and take it not out of ye hand of the King of Aram?)
4 Og han sagde til Josafat: »Vil du drage med i Krig mod Ramot i Gilead?« Josafat svarede Israels Konge: »Jeg som du, mit Folk som dit, mine Heste som dine!«
And he sayde vnto Iehoshaphat, Wilt thou goe with mee to battel against Ramoth Gilead? And Iehoshaphat saide vnto the King of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, and mine horses as thine horses.
5 Josafat sagde fremdeles til Israels Konge: »Spørg dog først om, hvad HERREN siger!«
Then Iehoshaphat saide vnto the King of Israel, Aske counsaile, I pray thee, of the Lord to day.
6 Da lod Israels Konge Profeterne kalde sammen, henved 400 Mand, og spurgte dem: »Skal jeg drage i Krig mod Ramot i Gilead, eller skal jeg lade være?« De svarede: »Drag derop, saa skal HERREN give det i Kongens Haand!«
Then the King of Israel gathered the prophets vpon a foure hundreth men, and said vnto them, Shal I go against Ramoth Gilead to battel, or shall I let it alone? And they said, Go vp: for ye Lord shall deliuer it into the hands of the King.
7 Men Josafat spurgte: »Er her ikke endnu een af HERRENS Profeter, vi kan spørge?«
And Iehoshaphat said, Is there here neuer a Prophet of the Lord more, that we might inquire of him?
8 Israels Konge svarede: »Her er endnu en Mand, ved hvem vi kan raadspørge HERREN; men jeg hader ham, fordi han aldrig spaar mig godt, kun ondt; det er Mika, Jimlas Søn.« Men Josafat sagde: »Saaledes maa Kongen ikke tale!«
And the King of Israel said vnto Iehoshaphat, There is yet one man (Michaiah the sonne of Imlah) by whom we may aske counsel of the Lord, but I hate him: for he doeth not prophecie good vnto me, but euill. And Iehoshaphat sayd, Let not the King say so.
9 Da kaldte Israels Konge paa en Hofmand og sagde: »Hent hurtig Mika, Jimlas Søn!«
Then the King of Israel called an Eunuche, and sayde, Call quickely Michaiah the sonne of Imlah.
10 Imidlertid sad Israels Konge og Kong Josafat af Juda, iført deres Skrud, hver paa sin Trone i Samarias Portaabning, og alle Profeterne spaaede foran dem.
And the King of Israel and Iehoshaphat the King of Iudah sate either of them on his throne in their apparell in the voyde place at the entring in of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets prophecied before them.
11 Da lavede Zidkija, Kena'anas Søn, sig Horn af Jern og sagde: »Saa siger HERREN: Med saadanne skal du støde Aramæerne ned, til de er tilintetgjort!«
And Zidkiiah the sonne of Chenaanah made him hornes of yron, and sayd, Thus sayth the Lord, With these shalt thou push the Aramites, vntill thou hast consumed them.
12 Og alle Profeterne spaaede det samme og sagde: »Drag op mod Ramot i Gilead, saa skal Lykken følge dig, og HERREN vil give det i Kongens Haand!«
And all the prophets prophecied so, saying, Goe vp to Ramoth Gilead, and prosper: for the Lord shall deliuer it into the Kings hand.
13 Men Budet, der var gaaet efter Mika, sagde til ham: Se, Profeterne har alle som een givet Kongen gunstigt Svar. Tal du nu som de og giv gunstigt Svar!
And the messenger that was gone to call Michaiah spake vnto him, saying, Beholde now, the wordes of the prophets declare good vnto the King with one accorde: let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like the worde of one of them, and speake thou good.
14 Men Mika svarede: »Saa sandt HERREN lever: Hvad HERREN siger mig, det vil jeg tale!«
And Michaiah saide, As the Lord liueth, whatsoeuer the Lord sayth vnto me, that will I speake.
15 Da han kom til Kongen, spurgte denne ham: »Mika, skal vi drage i Krig mod Ramot i Gilead, eller skal vi lade være?« Da svarede han: »Drag derop, saa skal Lykken følge dig, og HERREN vil give det i Kongens Haand!«
So he came to the King, and the King said vnto him, Michaiah, shall we go against Ramoth Gilead to battel, or shall we leaue off? And he answered him, Goe vp, and prosper: and the Lord shall deliuer it into the hand of the King.
16 Men Kongen sagde til ham: »Hvor mange Gange skal jeg besvære dig, at du ikke siger mig andet end Sandheden i HERRENS Navn?«
And the King said vnto him, How oft shall I charge thee, that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the Name of the Lord?
17 Da sagde han: Jeg saa hele Israel spredt paa Bjergene som en Hjord uden Hyrde: og HERREN sagde: De Folk har ingen Herre, lad dem vende tilbage i Fred, hver til sit!
Then he said, I sawe all Israel scattered vpon the mountaines, as sheepe that had no shepheard. And the Lord sayde, These haue no master, let euery man returne vnto his house in peace.
18 Israels Konge sagde da til Josafat: »Sagde jeg dig ikke, at han aldrig spaar mig godt, kun ondt!«
(And the King of Israel saide vnto Iehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee, that he would prophecie no good vnto me, but euill?)
19 Da sagde Mika: »Saa hør da HERRENS Ord! Jeg saa HERREN sidde paa sin Trone og hele Himmelens Hær staa til højre og venstre for ham;
Againe he said, Heare thou therefore the worde of the Lord. I sawe the Lord sit on his throne, and all the hoste of heauen stood about him on his right hand and on his left hand.
20 og HERREN sagde: Hvem vil daare Akab, saa han drager op og falder ved Ramot i Gilead? En sagde nu eet, en anden et andet;
And the Lord sayd, Who shall entise Ahab that he may go and fall at Ramoth Gilead? And one said on this maner, and another sayd on that maner.
21 men saa traadte en Aand frem og stillede sig foran HERREN og sagde: Jeg vil daare ham! HERREN spurgte ham: Hvorledes?
Then there came forth a spirit, and stoode before the Lord, and sayd, I wil entise him. And the Lord sayd vnto him, Wherewith?
22 Han svarede: Jeg vil gaa hen og blive en Løgnens Aand i alle hans Profeters Mund! Da sagde HERREN: Ja, du kan daare ham; gaa hen og gør det!
And he sayd, I will goe out, and be a false spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. Then he sayd, Thou shalt entise him, and shalt also preuayle: goe forth, and doe so.
23 Se, saaledes har HERREN lagt en Løgnens Aand i alle disse dine Profeters Mund, thi HERREN har ondt i Sinde imod dig!«
Now therefore behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirite in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath appoynted euill against thee.
24 Da traadte Zidkija, Kena'as Søn, frem og slog Mika paa Kinden og sagde: »Ad hvilken Vej skulde HERRENS Aand have forladt mig for at tale til dig?«
Then Zidkiiah the sonne of Chenaanah came neere, and smote Michaiah on the cheeke and sayd, When went the Spirite of the Lord from me, to speake vnto thee?
25 Men Mika sagde: »Det skal du faa at se, den Dag du flygter fra Kammer til Kammer for at skjule dig!«
And Michaiah saide, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt goe from chamber to chamber to hide thee.
26 Saa sagde Israels Konge: »Tag Mika og bring ham tilbage til Amon, Byens Øverste, og Kongesønnen Joasj
And the King of Israel sayd, Take Michaiah, and cary him vnto Amon the gouernour of the citie, and vnto Ioash the Kings sonne,
27 og sig: Saaledes siger Kongen: Kast denne Mand i Fængsel og sæt ham paa Trængselsbrød og Trængselsvand, indtil jeg kommer uskadt tilbage!«
And say, Thus saith the King, Put this man in the prison house, and feede him with bread of affliction, and with water of affliction, vntill I returne in peace.
28 Men Mika sagde: »Kommer du uskadt tilbage, saa har HERREN ikke talet ved mig!« Og han sagde: »Hør, alle I Folkeslag!«
And Michaiah sayde, If thou returne in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he sayd, Hearken all ye people.
29 Saa drog Israels Konge og Kong Josafat af Juda op mod Ramot i Gilead.
So the King of Israel and Iehoshaphat the King of Iudah went vp to Ramoth Gilead.
30 Og Israels Konge sagde til Josafat: »Jeg vil forklæde mig, før jeg drager i Kampen; men tag du dine egne Klæder paa!« Og Israels Konge forklædte sig og drog saa i Kampen.
And the King of Israel sayde to Iehoshaphat, I will change mine apparell, and will enter into the battell, but put thou on thine apparell. And the King of Israel changed himselfe, and went into the battel.
31 Men Arams Konge havde givet sine to og tredive Vognstyrere den Befaling: »I maa ikke angribe nogen, være sig høj eller lav, uden Israels Konge alene!«
And the King of Aram commanded his two and thirtie captaines ouer his charets, saying, Fight neither with small, nor great, saue onely against the King of Israel.
32 Da nu Vognstyrerne fik Øje paa Josafat, tænkte de: »Det er sikkert Israels Konge!« Og de rettede deres Angreb mod ham. Da gav Josafat sig til at raabe;
And when the captaines of the charets saw Iehoshaphat, they sayd, Surely it is the King of Israel, and they turned to fight against him: and Iehoshaphat cryed.
33 og da Vognstyrerne opdagede, at det ikke var Israels Konge, trak de sig bort fra ham.
And when the captaines of the charets saw that he was not the King of Israel, they turned backe from him.
34 Men en Mand, der skød en Pil af paa Lykke og Fromme, ramte Israels Konge mellem Remmene og Brynjen. Da sagde han til sin Vognstyrer: »Vend og før mig ud af Slaget, thi jeg er saaret!«
Then a certaine man drewe a bow mightily and smote the King of Israel betweene the ioyntes of his brigandine. Wherefore he sayde vnto his charet man, Turne thine hand and cary me out of the hoste: for I am hurt.
35 Men Kampen blev haardere og haardere den Dag, og Kongen holdt sig oprejst i sin Vogn over for Aramæerne til Aften, skønt Blodet fra Saaret flød ned i Bunden at Vognen; men om Aftenen døde han.
And the battel encreased that day, and the King stoode still in his charet against the Aramites, and dyed at euen: and the blood ran out of the wound into the middes of the charet.
36 Da Solen gik ned, gik det Raab gennem Lejren: »Enhver drage hjem til sin By og sit Land,
And there went a proclamation thorowout the hoste about the going downe of the sunne, saying, Euery man to his citie, and euery man to his owne countrey.
37 thi Kongen er død!« Saa kom de til Samaria, og de jordede Kongen der.
So the King died, and was brought to Samaria, and they buried the King in Samaria.
38 Og da man skyllede Vognen ved Samarias Dam, slikkede Hundene hans Blod, og Skøgerne badede sig deri efter det Ord, HERREN havde talet.
And one washed the charet in the poole of Samaria, and the dogs licked vp his blood (and they washed his armour) according vnto the word of the Lord which he spake.
39 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Akab, alt, hvad han gjorde, Elfenbenshuset, han lod opføre, og alle de Byer, han befæstede, staar jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.
Concerning the rest of the actes of Ahab and all that he did, and the yuorie house which he built, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
40 Saa lagde Akab sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre; og hans Søn Ahazja blev Konge i hans Sted.
So Ahab slept with his fathers, and Ahaziah his sonne reigned in his stead.
41 Josafat, Asas Søn, blev Konge over Juda i Kong Akab af Israels fjerde Regeringsaar.
And Iehoshaphat the sonne of Asa began to reigne vpon Iudah in the fourth yeere of Ahab King of Israel.
42 Josafat var fem og tredive Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede fem og tyve Aar i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Azuba og var en Datter af Sjilhi.
Iehoshaphat was fiue and thirty yere olde, when he began to reigne, and reigned fiue and twentie yeere in Ierusalem. And his mothers name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
43 Han vandrede nøje i sin Fader Asas Spor og veg ikke derfra, idet han gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENS Øjne.
And he walked in all the wayes of Asa his father, and declined not therefrom, but did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord. Neuerthelesse the hie places were not taken away: for the people offred still and burnt incense in the hie places.
44 Kun blev Offerhøjene ikke fjernet, og Folket blev ved at ofre og tænde Offerild paa Højene.
And Iehoshaphat made peace with the King of Israel.
45 Og Josafat havde Fred med Israels Konge.
Concerning the rest of the actes of Iehoshaphat, and his worthy deedes that he did, and his battels which he fought, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
46 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Josafat, de Heltegerninger, han udførte, og de Krige, han førte, staar jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.
And the Sodomites, which remayned in the dayes of his father Asa, he put cleane out of the land.
47 De sidste af Mandsskøgerne, som var tilbage fra hans Fader Asas Tid, udryddede han af Landet.
There was then no King in Edom: the deputie was King.
48 Paa den Tid var der ingen Konge i Edom.
Iehoshaphat made shippes of Tharshish to sayle to Ophir for golde, but they went not, for the shippes were broken at Ezion Gaber.
49 Kong Josafats Statholder byggede et Tarsisskib til Fart paa Ofir efter Guld; men der kom intet ud af det, da Skibet gik under ved Ezjongeber.
Then sayde Ahaziah the sonne of Ahab vnto Iehoshaphat, Let my seruants goe with thy seruants in the ships, But Iehoshaphat would not.
50 Da foreslog Ahazja, Akabs Søn, Josafat at lade sine Folk sejle med hans; men Josafat afslog det.
And Iehoshaphat did sleepe with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the citie of Dauid his father, and Iehoram his sonne reigned in his stead.
51 Saa lagde Josafat sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet hos sine Fædre i sin Fader Davids By og hans Søn Joram blev Konge i hans Sted.
Ahaziah the sonne of Ahab began to reigne ouer Israel in Samaria, the seuenteenth yeere of Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, and reigned two yeeres ouer Israel.
52 Ahazja, Akabs Søn, blev Konge over Israel i Samaria i Kong Josafat af Judas syttende Regeringsaar, og han herskede to Aar over Israel.
But he did euill in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, which made Israel to sinne.
53 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, og vandrede i sin Faders og sin Moders Spor og i Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Spor, han, som forledte Israel til at synde. Han dyrkede Ba'al og tilbad ham og krænkede HERREN, Israels Gud, nøjagtigt som hans Fader havde gjort.
For he serued Baal and worshipped him, and prouoked the Lord God of Israel vnto wrath, according vnto all that his father had done.
