Anden Kongebog 8
1 Elisa talte til den Kvinde, hvis Søn han havde kaldt til Live, og sagde: »Drag bort med dit Hus og slaa dig ned som fremmed et eller andet Sted, thi HERREN har kaldt Hungersnøden hid; og den vil komme over Landet og vare syv Aar!«
And Elisaie spoke to the woman, whose son he [had] restored to life, saying, Arise, and go you and your house, and sojourn wherever you may sojourn: for the Lord has called for a famine upon the land; indeed it is come upon the land [for] seven years.
2 Da brød Kvinden op og gjorde, som den Guds Mand havde sagt, og drog med sit Hus hen og boede syv Aar som fremmed i Filisternes Land.
And the woman arose, and did according to the word of Elisaie, both she and her house; and they sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.
3 Men da der var gaaet syv Aar, vendte Kvinden tilbage fra Filisternes Land; Og hun gik hen og paakaldte Kongens Hjælp til at faa sit Hus og sin Jord tilbage.
And it came to pass after the expiration of the seven years, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines to the city; and came to cry to the king for her house and for her lands.
4 Kongen talte just med den Guds Mands Tjener Gehazi og sagde: »Fortæl mig om alle de store Gerninger, Elisa har udført!«
And the king spoke to Giezi the servant of Elisaie the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray you, all the great things which Elisaie has done.
5 Og netop som han fortalte Kongen, hvorledes han havde kaldt den døde til Live, kom Kvinden, hvis Søn han havde kaldt til Live, og paakaldt Kongens Hjælp til at faa sit Hus og sin Jord tilbage. Da sagde Gehazi: »Herre Konge, der er den Kvinde, og der er hendes Søn, som Elisa kaldte til Live!«
And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored to life the dead son, behold, the woman whose son Elisaie restored to life [came] crying to the king for her house and for her lands. And Giezi said, My lord, O king, this [is] the woman, and this [is] her son, whom Elisaie restored to life.
6 Kongen spurgte saa Kvinden ud, og hun fortalte. Derpaa gav Kongen hende en Hofmand med og sagde: »Sørg for, at hun faar al sin Ejendom tilbage og alt, hvad hendes Jord har baaret, siden den Dag hun forlod Landet!«
And the king asked the woman, and she told him: and the king appointed her a eunuch, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field from the day that she left the land until now.
7 Siden begav Elisa sig til Damaskus, hvor Kong Benhadad af Aram laa syg. Da Kongen fik at vide, at den Guds Mand var paa Vej derhen,
And Elisaie came to Damascus; and the king of Syria the son of Ader was ill, and they brought him word, saying, The man of God is come here.
8 sagde han til Hazael: »Tag en Gave med, gaa den Guds Mand i Møde og raadspørg HERREN gennem ham, om jeg kommer mig af min Sygdom!«
And the king said to Azael, Take in your hand a present, and go to meet the man of God, and enquire of the Lord by him, saying, Shall I recover of this my disease?
9 Da gik Hazael ham i Møde; han tog en Gave med af alskens Kostbarheder, som fandtes i Damaskus, fyrretyve Kamelladninger, og traadte frem for ham og sagde: »Din Søn Benhadad, Arams Konge sender mig til dig og lader spørge: Kommer jeg mig af min Sygdom?«
And Azael went to meet him, and he took a present in his hand, and all the good things of Damascus, forty camels' load, and came and stood before him, and said to Elisaie, Your son the son of Ader, the king of Syria, has sent me to you to enquire, saying, Shall I recover of this my disease?
10 Elisa svarede: »Gaa hen og sig ham: «Du kommer dig!» Men HERREN har ladet mig skue, at han skal dø!«
And Elisaie said, Go, say, You shall certainly live; yet the Lord has showed me that you shall surely die.
11 Og han stirrede stift frem for sig og var ude af sig selv af Rædsel. Saa brast den Guds Mand i Graad,
And he stood before him, and fixed [his countenance] till he was ashamed: and the man of God wept.
12 og Hazael sagde: »Hvorfor græder min Herre?« Han svarede: »Fordi jeg ved, hvilke Ulykker du skal bringe over Israeliterne! Deres Fæstninger skal du stikke i Brand, deres unge Mænd skal du hugge ned med Sværdet, deres spæde Børn skal du knuse, og paa deres frugtsommelige Kvinder skal du rive Livet op!«
And Azael said, Why does my lord weep? And he said, Because I know all the evil that you will do to the children of Israel: you will utterly destroy their strong holds with fire, and you will kill their choice men with the sword, and you will dash their infants [against the ground], and their women with child you will rip up.
13 Da sagde Hazael: »Hvad er din Træl, den Hund, at han skal kunne gøre slige store Ting!« Elisa svarede: »HERREN har ladet mig skue dig som Konge over Aram!«
And Azael said, Who is your servant? a dead dog, that he should do this thing? And Elisaie said, The Lord has shown me you ruling over Syria.
14 Derpaa forlod han Elisa og kom til sin Herre; og han spurgte ham: »Hvad sagde Elisa til dig?« Han svarede: »Han sagde: Du kommer dig!«
And he departed from Elisaie, and went in to his lord; and he said to him, What said Elisaie to you? and he said, He said to me, You shall surely live.
15 Men næste Dag tog han et Klæde, dyppede det i Vand og bredte det over Ansigtet paa Kongen, og det blev hans Død. Og Hazael blev Konge i hans Sted.
And it came to pass on the next day that he took a thick cloth, and dipped it in water, and put it on his face, and he died: and Azael reigned in his stead.
16 I Akabs Søns, Kong Joram af Israels, femte Regeringsaar blev Joram, Josafats Søn, Konge over Juda.
In the fifth year of Joram son of Achaab king of Israel, and while Josaphat was king of Juda, Joram the son of Josaphat king of Juda began to reign.
17 Han var to og tredive Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede otte Aar i Jerusalem.
Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
18 Han vandrede i Israels Kongers Spor ligesom Akabs Hus, thi han havde en Datter af Akab til Hustru, og han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne.
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Achaab; for the daughter of Achaab was his wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.
19 Dog vilde HERREN ikke tilintetgøre Juda for sin Tjener Davids Skyld efter det Løfte, han havde givet ham, at han altid skulde have en Lampe for hans Aasyn.
But the Lord would not destroy Juda for David his servant's sake, as he said he would give a light to him and to his sons continually.
20 I hans Dage rev Edomiterne sig løs fra Judas Overherredømme og valgte sig en Konge.
In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Juda, and they made a king over themselves.
21 Da drog Joram over til Za'ir med alle sine Stridsvogne. Og han stod op om Natten, og sammen med Vognstyrerne slog han sig igennem Edoms Rækker, der havde omringet ham, hvorpaa Folket flygtede tilbage hver til sit.
And Joram went up to Sior, and all the chariots that were with him: and it came to pass after he had arisen, that he struck Edom who compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.
22 Saaledes rev Edom sig løs fra Judas Overherredømme, og saaledes er det den Dag i Dag. Paa samme Tid rev ogsaa Libna sig løs.
Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Juda till this day. Then Lobna revolted at that time.
23 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Joram, alt, hvad han udførte, staar optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.
And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
24 Saa lagde Joram sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet hos sine Fædre i Davidsbyen; og hans Søn Ahazja blev Konge i hans Sted.
So Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of his father David: and Ochozias his son reigned in his stead.
25 I Akabs Søns, Kong Joram af Israels, tolvte Regeringsaar blev Ahazja, Jorams Søn, Konge over Juda.
In the twelfth year of Joram son of Achaab king of Israel, Ochozias son of Joram began to reign.
26 Ahazja var to og tyve Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede eet Aar i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Atalja og var Datter af Kong Omri af Israel.
Twenty and two years old [was] Ochozias when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem: and the name of his mother [was] Gotholia, daughter of Ambri king of Israel.
27 Han vandrede i Akabs Hus's Spor og gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, ligesom Akabs Hus, thi han var besvogret med Akabs Hus.
And he walked in the way of the house of Achaab, and did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as did the house of Achaab.
28 Sammen med Joram, Akabs Søn, drog han i Krig mod Kong Hazael af Aram ved Ramot i Gilead. Men Aramæerne saarede Joram.
And he went with Joram the son of Achaab to war against Azael king of the Syrians in Remmoth Galaad; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
29 Saa vendte Kong Joram tilbage for i Jizre'el at søge Helbredelse for de Saar, Aramæerne havde tilføjet ham ved Ramot, da han kæmpede med Kong Hazael af Aram; og Jorams Søn, Kong Ahazja af Juda, drog ned for at se til Joram, Akabs Søn, i Jizre'el, fordi han laa syg.
And king Joram returned to be healed in Jezrael of the wounds with which they wounded him in Remmoth, when he fought with Azael king of Syria. And Ochozias son of Joram went down to see Joram the son of Achaab in Jezrael, because he was sick.
