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 Eliseus spoke to the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying: Arise, and go thou and thy household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst find: for the Lord hath exiled a famine, and it shall come upon the land 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 she arose, and did according to the word of the man of God: and going with her household, she sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
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 when the seven years were ended, the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines, and she went forth to speak 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 talked with Giezi, the servant of the man of God, saying: Tell me all the great things that Eliseus hath 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 when he was telling the king how he had raised one dead to life, the woman appeared, whose son he had restored to life, crying to the king for her house, and her lands. And Giezi said: My lord O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Eliseus raised 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 an eunuch, saying: Restore her all that is hers, and all the revenues of the lands, from the day that she left the land, to this present.
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,
Eliseus also came to Damascus, and Benadad king of Syria was sick: and they told him, saying: The man of God is come hither.
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 Hazael: Take with thee presents, and go to meet the man of God, and consult the Lord by him, saying: Can I recover of this my illness?
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 Hazael went to meet him, taking with him presents, and all the good things of Damascus, the burdens of forty camels. And when he stood before him, he said: Thy son Benadad the king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying: Can I recover of this my illness?
10 Elisa svarede: »Gaa hen og sig ham: «Du kommer dig!» Men HERREN har ladet mig skue, at han skal dø!«
And Eliseus said to him: Go tell him: Thou shalt recover: bat the Lord hath shewn me that he 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 with him, and was troubled so far as to blush: 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 Hazael said to him: Why doth my lord weep? And he said: Because I know the evil that thou wilt do to the children of Israel. Their strong cities then wilt burn with fire, and their young men thou wilt kill with the sword, and thou wilt dash their children, and rip up their pregnant women.
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 Hazael said: But what am I thy servant a dog, that I should do this great thing? And Eliseus said: The Lord hath shewn me that thou shalt be king of 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 when he was departed from Eliseus, he came to his master, who said to him: What saith Eliseus to thee? And he answered: He told me: Thou shalt recover.
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 on the next day he took a blanket, and pouted water on it, and spread it upon his face: and he died, and Hazael 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 Achab king of Israel, and of Josaphat king of Juda, reigned Joram son of Josaphat king of Juda.
17 Han var to og tredive Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede otte Aar i Jerusalem.
He was two and thirty years old 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 ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Achab had walked: for the daughter of Achab 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 had promised him, to give him a light, and to his children always.
20 I hans Dage rev Edomiterne sig løs fra Judas Overherredømme og valgte sig en Konge.
In his days Edom revolted, from being under Juda, and made themselves a king.
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 came to Seira, and all the chariots with him: and he arose in the night, and defeated the Edomites that had surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots, but the people fled into 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.
So Edom revolted from being under Juda, unto this day. Then Lobna also revolted at the same time.
23 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Joram, alt, hvad han udførte, staar optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.
But the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days 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.
And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David, and Ochozias his son reigned in Iris 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 Achab king of Israel, reigned Ochozias son of Joram king of Juda.
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.
Ochozias was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Athalia the daughter of Amri 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 ways of the house of Achab: and he did evil before the Lord, as did the house of Achab: for he was the son in law of the house of Achab.
28 Sammen med Joram, Akabs Søn, drog han i Krig mod Kong Hazael af Aram ved Ramot i Gilead. Men Aramæerne saarede Joram.
He went also with Joram son of Achab, to fight against Hazael king of Syria in Ramoth 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 he went back to be healed, in Jezrahel: because the Syrians had wounded him in Ramoth when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ochozias the son of Joram king of Juda, went down to visit Joram the son of Achab in Jezrahel, because he was sick there.
