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!«
Then Elisha spoke to the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thy household, and sojourn wherever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also 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 the woman arose, and did according to the saying of the man of God: and she went with her household, and 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 at the seven years' end, that the woman returned from the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry to the king for her house, and for her land.
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 Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha 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 it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this [is] the woman, and this [is] her son, whom Elisha 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 when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that [was] hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land even till 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 Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told to him, saying, The man of God hath 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 a present in thy hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, Shall I recover of this 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?«
So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Ben-hadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
10 Elisa svarede: »Gaa hen og sig ham: «Du kommer dig!» Men HERREN har ladet mig skue, at han skal dø!«
And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, Thou mayest certainly recover: but the LORD hath showed 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 settled his countenance steadfastly, until 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 Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do to the children of Israel: their strong holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, and rip up their women with child.
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, [is] thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The LORD hath shown me that thou [wilt be] king 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!«
So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master; who said to him, What said Elisha to thee? And he answered, He told me [that] thou shouldest surely 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 it came to pass on the morrow, that he took a thick cloth, and dipped [it] in water, and spread [it] on his face, so that 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.
And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat [being] then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah 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 Ahab: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife: and he did 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.
Yet the LORD would not destroy Judah, for David his servant's sake, as he promised him to give him always a light, [and] to his children.
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 Judah, and 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.
So Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him: and he rose by night, and smote the Edomites who encompassed him, and the captains of the chariots: and 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.
Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same 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, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
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 his fathers, in the city of David; and Ahaziah 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 the son of Ahab king of Israel did Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin 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.
Two and twenty years old [was] Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Athaliah, the daughter of Omri 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 Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the LORD, as [did] the house of Ahab: for he [was] the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
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 Ahab to the war against Hazael king of Syria in Ramoth-gilead; 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 went back to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
