Anden Kongebog 13

1 I Ahazjas Søns, Kong Joas af Judas, tre og tyvende Regeringsår blev Joahaz, Jehus Søn, Konge over Israel, og han herskede sytten År i Samaria.

In the twenty-third year of Joash son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz son of Jehu has reigned over Israel in Samaria, seventeen years,

2 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRNs Øjne, og vandrede i de Synder, Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, havde forledt Israel til; fra dem veg han ikke.

and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, and goes after the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, that he caused Israel to sin—he did not turn aside from it,

3 Da blussede HERRENs Vrede op mod Israel, og han gav dem til Stadighed i Kong Hazael af Arams og hans Søn Benhadads Hånd.

and the anger of YHWH burns against Israel, and He gives them into the hand of Hazael king of Aram, and into the hand of Ben-Hadad son of Hazael, all the days.

4 Men Joahaz bad HERREN om Nåde, og HERREN bønhørte ham, fordi han så Israels Trængsel; thi Arams Konge bragte Trængsel over dem;

And Jehoahaz appeases the face of YHWH, and YHWH listens to him, for He has seen the oppression of Israel, for the king of Aram has oppressed them—

5 og HERREN gav Israel en Befrier, som friede dem af Arams Hånd; så boede Israeliterne i deres Telte som før.

and YHWH gives a savior to Israel, and they go out from under the hand of Aram, and the sons of Israel dwell in their tents as before;

6 Dog veg de ikke fra de Synder, Jeroboams Hus havde forledt Israel til, men vandrede i dem; også Asjerastøtten blev stående i Samaria.

only, they have not turned aside from the sins of the house of Jeroboam that he caused Israel to sin, therein they walked, and also, the Asherah has remained in Samaria—

7 Thi Arams Konge levnede, ikke Joahaz flere Krigsfolk end halvtredsindstyve Ryttere, ti Stridsvogne og ti Tusinde Mand Fodfolk, men han tilintetgjorde dem og knuste dem til Støv.

for he did not leave to Jehoahaz of the people except fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen, for the king of Aram has destroyed them, and makes them as dust for threshing.

8 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Joahaz, alt, hvad han udførte, og hans Heltegerninger står jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.

And the rest of the matters of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

9 Så lagde Joahaz sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og man jordede ham i Samaria; og hans Søn Joas blev Konge i hans Sted.

And Jehoahaz lies with his fathers, and they bury him in Samaria, and his son Joash reigns in his stead.

10 I Kong Joas af Judas syv og tredivte Regeringsår blev Joas. Joahaz's Søn, konge over Israel, og han herskede seksten År i Samaria.

In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash son of Jehoahaz has reigned over Israel in Samaria, sixteen years,

11 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, og veg ikke fra nogen af de Synder, Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, havde forledt Israel til, men vandrede i dem.

and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, he has not turned aside from all the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that he caused Israel to sin, therein he walked.

12 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Joas, alt, hvad han udførte, og hans Heltegerninger, hvorledes han førte Krig med Kong Amazja af Juda, står jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.

And the rest of the matters of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

13 Så lagde Joas sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre; og Jeroboam satte sig på hans Trone. Joas blev jordet i Samaria hos Israels Konger.

And Joash lies with his fathers, and Jeroboam has sat on his throne, and Joash is buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.

14 Da Elisa blev ramt af den Sygdom, han døde af, kom Kong Joas af Israel ned til ham, bøjede sig grædende over ham og sagde: "Min Fader, min Fader, du Israels Vogne. og Ryttere!"

And Elisha has been sick with his sickness in which he dies, and Joash king of Israel comes down to him and weeps on his face, and says, “My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and its horsemen.”

15 Men Elisa sagde til ham: "bring Bue og Pile!" Og han bragte ham Bue og Pile.

And Elisha says to him, “Take bow and arrows”: and he takes bow and arrows for himself.

16 Da sagde han til Israels Konge: "Læg din Hånd på Buen!" Og da han gjorde det, lagde Elisa sine Hænder på Kongens

And he says to the king of Israel, “Place your hand on the bow”; and he places his hand, and Elisha puts his hands on the hands of the king,

17 og sagde: "Luk Vinduet op mod Øst!" Og da han havde gjort det, sagde Elisa: "Skyd!" Og han skød. Da sagde Elisa: "En Sejrspil fra HERREN, en Sejrspil mod Aram! Du skal tilføje Aram et afgørende Nederlag ved Afek!"

and says, “Open the window eastward”; and he opens, and Elisha says, “Shoot,” and he shoots; and he says, “An arrow of salvation from YHWH, and an arrow of salvation against Aram, and you have struck Aram, in Aphek, until consuming.”

18 Derpå sagde han: "Tag Pilene!" Og han tog dem. Da sagde han til Israels Konge: "Slå på Jorden!" Og han slog tre Gange, men holdt så op.

And he says, “Take the arrows,” and he takes; and he says to the king of Israel, “Strike to the earth”; and he strikes three times, and stays.

19 Da vrededes den Guds Mand på ham og sagde: "Du burde have slået fem-seks Gange, så skulde du have tilføjet Aram et afgørende Nederlag, men nu skal du kun slå Aram tre Gange!"

And the man of God is angry against him and says, “By striking five or six times then you had struck Aram until consuming; but now you [only] strike Aram three times.”

20 Så døde Elisa, og de jordede ham. År efter År trængte moabitiske Strejfskarer ind i Landet;

And Elisha dies, and they bury him, and troops of Moab come into the land at the coming in of the year,

21 og da nogle Israeliter engang fik Øje på en sådan Skare, netop som de var ved at jorde en Mand, kastede de Manden i Elisas Grav og løb deres Vej. Men da Manden kom i Berøring med Elisas Ben, blev han levende og rejste sig op.

and it comes to pass, they are burying a man, and behold, they have seen the troop, and cast the man into the grave of Elisha, and the man goes and comes against the bones of Elisha, and lives, and rises on his feet.

22 Kong Hazael af Aram trængle Israel hårdt, så længe Joabaz levede.

And Hazael king of Aram has oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz,

23 Men HERREN forbarmede sig og ynkedes over dem og vendte sig til dem på Grund af sin Pagt med Abraham, Isak og Jakob; han vilde ikke tilintetgøre dem og havde endnu ikke stødt dem bort fra sit Åsyn.

and YHWH favors them, and pities them, and turns to them for the sake of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and has not been willing to destroy them, nor to cast them from His presence as yet.

24 Men da Kong Hazael af Aram døde, og hans Søn Benhadad blev Konge i hans Sted,

And Hazael king of Aram dies, and his son Ben-Hadad reigns in his stead,

25 tog Joas, Joahaz's Søn, de Byer tilbage fra Benhadad, Hazaels Søn, som han i Krigen havde frataget hans Fader Joahaz. Tre Gange slog Joas ham og tog de israelitiske Byer tilbage.

and Jehoash son of Jehoahaz turns and takes the cities out of the hand of Ben-Hadad son of Hazael that he had taken out of the hand of his father Jehoahaz in war; Joash has struck him three times, and he brings back the cities of Israel.
