Anden Kongebog 9
1 Profeten Elisa kaldte en af Profetsønnerne til sig og sagde til ham: »Omgjord dine Lænder, tag denne Flaske Olie med og drag til Ramot i Gilead.
And Eliseus the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, slid said to him: Gird up thy loins, and take this little bottle of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth Galaad.
2 Naar du kommer derhen, opsøg saa Jehu, Nimsjis Søn Josjafats Søn; gaa hen og faa ham til at staa op fra sine Fæller og før ham ind i det inderste Hammer;
And when thou art come thither, thou shalt see Jehu the son of Josaphat the son of Namsi: and going in thou shalt make him rise up from amongst his brethren, and carry him into an inner chamber.
3 tag saa Olieflasken og gyd Olien ud over hans Hoved med de Ord: Saa siger HERREN: Jeg salver dig til Konge over Israel! Derefter skal du lukke Døren op og flygte ufortøvet!«
Then taking the little bottle of oil, thou shalt pour it on his head, and shalt say: Thus saith the Lord: I have anointed thee king over Israel. And thou shalt open the door and flee, and shalt not stay there.
4 Den unge Mand, Profetens Tjener, drog saa til Ramot i Gilead;
So the young man, the servant of the prophet, went awry to Ramoth Galaad,
5 og da han kom derhen, traf han Hærførerne siddende sammen. Han sagde da: »Jeg har et Ærinde til dig, Hærfører!« Jehu spurgte: »Til hvem af os?« Han svarede: »Til dig, Hærfører!«
And went in thither: and behold the captains of the army were sitting: and he said: I have a word to thee, O prince. And Jehu said: Unto whom of us all? And he said: To thee, O prince.
6 Saa rejste han sig og gik ind i Huset; der gød han Olien ud over hans Hoved og sagde til ham: »Saa siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Jeg salver dig til Konge over HERRENS Folk, over Israel!
And he arose, and went into the chamber: and he poured the oil upon his head, and said: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: I have anointed thee king over Israel, the people of the Lord.
7 Du skal hugge din Herre Akabs Hus ned, saa jeg faar Hævn over Jesabel for mine Tjenere Profeternes og alle HERRENS Tjeneres Blod.
And thou shalt cut off the house of Achab thy master, and I will revenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord at the hand of Jezabel.
8 Hele Akabs Hus skal omkomme, jeg vil udrydde hvert mandligt Væsen, hver og en af Akabs Slægt i Israel;
And I will destroy all the house of Achab, and I will cut off from Achab him that pisseth against the well, and him that is shut up, and the meanest in Israel.
9 jeg vil handle med Akabs Hus som med Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, og Ba'sjas, Ahijas Søns, Hus.
And I will make the house of Achab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and like the house of Baasa the son of Ahias.
10 Og Jesabel skal Hundene æde paa Jizre'els Mark, og ingen skal jorde hende!« Derpaa lukkede han Døren op og flygtede.
And the dogs shall eat Jezabel in the field of Jezrahel, and there shall be no one to bury her. And he opened the door and fled.
11 Da Jehu kom ud til sin Herres Folk, spurgte de ham: »Hvorledes staar det til? Hvad vilde den gale Mand hos dig?« Han svarede: »I kender jo den Mand og hans Snak!«
Then Jehu went forth to the servants of his lord: and they said to him: Are all things well? why came this mad man to thee? And he said to them: You know the man, and what he said.
12 Men de sagde: »Udflugter! Sig os det nu!« Da sagde han: »Saaledes sagde han til mig: Saa siger HERREN: Jeg salver dig til Konge over Israel!«
But they answered: It is false, but rather do thou tell us. And he said to them: Thus and thus did he speak to me: and he said: Thus saith the Lord: I have anointed thee king over Israel.
13 Øjeblikkelig tog de da hver sin Kappe og lagde under ham paa selve Trappen, og de stødte i Hornet og udraabte Jehu til Konge.
Then they made haste and taking every man his garment laid it under his feet, after the manner of a judgment seat, and they sounded the trumpet, and said: Jehu is king.
14 Saaledes stiftede Jehu, Nimsjis Søn Josjafats Søn, en Sammensværgelse mod Joram. Joram havde med hele Israel forsvaret Ramot i Gilead mod Kong Hazael af Aram;
So Jehu the son of Josaphat the son of Namsi conspired against Joram. Now Joram had besieged Ramoth Galaad, he and all Israel fighting with Hazael king of Syria:
15 men Kong Joram var vendt tilbage for i Jizre'el at søge Helbredelse for de Saar, Aramæerne havde tilføjet ham, da han kæmpede med Kong Hazael af Aram. Da sagde Jehu: »Vil I som jeg, saa lad ikke en eneste slippe ud af Byen og bringe Bud til Jizre'el.«
And was returned to be healed in Jezrahel of his wounds, for the Syrians had wounded him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Jehu said: If it please you, let no mall go forth or flee out of the city, lest he go, and tell in Jezrahel.
16 Derpaa steg Jehu til Vogns og kørte til Jizre'el; thi der laa Joram syg, og Kong Ahazja af Juda var rejst ned for at se til ham.
And he got up, and went into Jezrahel: for Joram was sick there, and Ochozias king of Juda was come down to visit Joram.
17 Da Vægteren, som stod paa Taarnet i Jizre'el, saa Støvskyen efter Jehu, sagde han: »Jeg ser en Støvsky!« Da sagde Joram: »Tag en Rytter og send ham ud imod dem, for at han kan spørge, om de kommer med Fred!«
The watchmen therefore, that stood upon the tower of Jezrahel, saw the troop of Jehu coming, and said: I see a troop. And Joram said: Take a chariot, and send to meet them, and let him that goeth say: Is all well?
18 Saa red Rytteren ham i Møde og sagde: »Saaledes siger Kongen: Kommer du med Fred?« Jehu svarede: »Hvad vedkommer det dig, om det er med Fred? Omkring, følg mig!« Vægteren meldte: »Sendebudet har naaet dem, men han kommer ikke tilbage!«
So there went one in a chariot to meet him, and said: Thus saith the king: Are all things peaceable? And Jehu said: What hast thou to do with peace? go behind and follow me. And the watchman told, saying: The messenger came to them, but he returneth not.
19 Saa sendte han en anden Rytter ud; og da han var kommet hen til dem, sagde han: »Saaledes siger Kongen: Kommer du med Fred?« Jehu svarede: »Hvad vedkommer det dig, om jeg kommer med Fred? Omkring, følg mig!«
And he sent a second chariot of horses: and he came to them, and said: Thus saith the king: Is there peace? And Jehu said: What hast thou to do with peace? pass, and follow me.
20 Vægteren meldte: »Han har naaet dem, men han kommet ikke tilbage. Og de har en Fart paa, som var det Jehu, Nimsjis Søn, thi han farer af Sted som rasende.«
And the watchman told, saying: He came even to them, but returneth not: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Namsi, for he drives furiously.
21 Da sagde Joram: »Spænd for!« Og da der var spændt for, kørte Kong Joram af Israel og Kong Ahazja af Juda ud hver i sin Vogn. De kørte Jehu i Møde og traf ham ved Jizre'eliten Nabots Mark.
And Joram said: Make ready the chariot. And they made ready his chariot, and Joram king of Israel, and Ochozias king of Juda went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and met him in the field of Naboth the Jezrahelite.
22 Da Joram fik Øje paa Jehu, spurgte han: »Kommer du med Fred, Jehu?« Men han svarede: »Hvad! Skulde jeg komme med Fred, saa længe det ikke har Ende med din Moder Jesabels Bolen og hendes mange Trolddomskunster!«
And when Joram saw Jehu, he said: Is there peace, Jehu? And he answered: What peace? so long as the fornications of Jezabel thy mother, and her many sorceries are in their vigour.
23 Da drejede Joram omkring og flygtede, idet han raabte til Ahazja: »Svig, Ahazja!«
And Joram turned his hand, and fleeing, said to Ochozias: There is treachery, Ochozias.
24 Men Jehu greb sin Bue og skød Joram i Ryggen, saa at Pilen gik igennem Hjertet, og han sank sammen i Vognen;
But Jehu bent Iris bow with his hand, and shot Joram between the shoulders: and the arrow went out through his heart, and immediately he fell in his chariot.
25 og Jehu sagde til sin Høvedsmand Bidkar: »Tag og kast ham hen paa Jizre'eliten Nabots Mark, thi det rinder mig i Hu, hvorledes jeg og du kørte sammen bag efter hans Fader Akab, dengang HERREN fremsatte dette Udsagn imod ham:
And Jehu said to Badacer his captain: Take him, and cast him into the field of Naboth the Jezrahelite: for I remember when I and thou sitting in a chariot followed Achab this man’s father, that the Lord laid this burden upon him, saying:
26 Sandelig, Nabots og hans Sønners Blod saa jeg i Gaar, lyder det fra HERREN, og jeg bringer Gengældelse over dig her paa denne Mark, lyder det fra HERREN! Tag derfor og kast ham hen paa Marken efter HERRENS Ord!«
If I do not requite thee in this field, saith the Lord, for the blood of Naboth, and for the blood of his children, which I saw yesterday, saith the Lord. So now take him, and cast him into the field, according to the word of the Lord.
27 Da Kong Ahazja at Juda saa det, flygtede han ad Vejen til Bet-Hagan; men Jehu satte efter ham og raabte: »Ogsaa ham!« Og i Gurpasset, i Nærheden af Jibleam, skød de ham ned i Vognen. Han undslap til Megiddo, men der døde han.
But Ochozias king of Juda seeing this, fled by the way of the garden house: and Jehu pursued him, and said: Strike him also in his chariot. And they struck him in the going up to Gaver, which is by Jeblaam: and he fled into Mageddo, and died there.
28 Hans Folk førte ham til Jerusalem og jordede ham i hans Grav hos hans Fædre i Davidsbyen.
And his servants laid him upon his chariot, and carried him to Jerusalem: and they buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.
29 I Akabs Søn Jorams ellevte Regeringsaar blev Ahazja Konge over Juda.
In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Achab, Ochozias reigned over Juda,
30 Jehu kom nu til Jizre'el. Saa snart Jesabel hørte det, sminkede hun sine Øjne og smykkede sit Hoved og bøjede sig ud af Vinduet;
And Jehu came into Jezrahel. But Jezabel hearing of his coming in, painted her face with stibic stone, and adorned her head, and looked out of a window
31 og da Jehu kørte ind igennem Porten, raabte hun: »Kommer du med Fred, Zimri Kongemorder?«
At Jehu coming in at the gate, and said: Can there be peace for Zambri, that hath killed his master?
32 Men han saa op til Vinduet og sagde: »Hvem holder med mig? Hvem?« Saa var der et Par Hofmænd, som saa ud efter ham,
And Jehu lifted up his face to the window, and said: Who is this? And two or three eunuchs bowed down to him.
33 og han raabte: »Styrt hende ned!« Saa styrtede de hende ned, og Blodet sprøjtede op paa Muren og paa Hestene, og de traadte hende ned.
And he said to them: Throw her down headlong: and they threw her down, and the wall was sprinkled with her blood, and the hoofs of the horses trod upon her.
34 Derpaa gik han ind og spiste og drak. Saa sagde han: »Tag jer af hende, den forbandede, og jord hende, hun var jo dog en Kongedatter!«
And when he was come in, to eat, and to drink, he said: Go, and see after that cursed woman, and bury her: because she is a king’s daughter.
35 Men da de gik ud for at jorde hende, fandt de ikke andet af hende end Hjerneskallen, Fødderne og Hænderne.
And when they went to bury her, they found nothing but the skull, and the feet, and the extremities of her hands.
36 Og de kom tilbage og meldte ham det; da sagde han: »Det er det Ord, HERREN talede ved sin Tjener Tisjbiten Elias: Paa Jizre'els Mark skal Hundene æde Jesabels Legeme!
And coming back they told him. And Jehu said: It is the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servant Elias the Thesbite, saying: In the field of Jezrahel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezabel,
37 og Jesabels Lig skal blive som Gødning paa Ageren paa Jizre'els Mark, saa ingen kan sige: Dette er Jesabel!«
And the flesh of Jezabel shall be as dung upon the face of the earth in the field of Jezrahel, so that they who pass by shall say: Is this that same Jezabel?
