Anden Kongebog 8
1 Elisa talte til den Kvinde, hvis Søn han havde kaldt til Live, og sagde: "Drag bort med dit Hus og slå dig ned som fremmed et eller andet Sted, thi HERREN har kaldt Hungersnøden hid; og den vil komme over Landet og vare syv År!"
Now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had given back to life, Go now, with all the people of your house, and get a living-place for yourselves wherever you are able; for by the word of the Lord, there will be great need of food in the land; and this will go on 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 År som fremmed i Filisternes Land.
So the woman got up and did as the man of God said; and she and the people of her house were living in the land of the Philistines for seven years.
3 Men da der var gået syv År, vendte Kvinden tilbage fra Filisternes Land; Og hun gik hen og påkaldte Kongens Hjælp til at få sit Hus og sin Jord tilbage.
And when the seven years were ended, the woman came back from the land of the Philistines and went to the king with a request for her house and her land.
4 Kongen talte just med den Guds Mands Tjener Gehazi og sagde: "Fortæl mig om alle de storeGerninger, Elisa harudført!"
Now the king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, Now, give me an account of all the great things Elisha 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 påkaldt Kongens Hjælp til at få 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 while he was giving the king the story of how Elisha had given life to the dead, the woman whose son had come back to life came to the king with a request for her house and her land. And Gehazi said, My lord king, this is the woman and this is her son, whose life Elisha gave back to him.
6 Kongen spurgte så Kvinden ud, og hun forfalte. Derpå gav Kongen hende en Hofmand med og sagde: "Sørg for, at hun får al sin Ejendom tilbage og alt, hvad hendes Jord har båret, siden den Dag hun forlod Landet!"
And in answer to the king's questions, the woman gave him all the story. So the king gave orders to one of his unsexed servants, saying, Give her back all her property, and all the produce of her fields from the day when she went away from the land up till now.
7 Siden begav Elisa sig til Damaskus, hvor Kong Benbadad af Aram lå syg. Da Kongen fik at vide, at den Guds Mand var på Vej derhen,
And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad, king of Aram, was ill; and they said to him, The man of God has come.
8 sagde han til Hazael: "Tag en Gave med, gå den Guds Mand i Møde og rådspørg HERREN gennem ham, om jeg kommer mig af min Sygdom!"
Then the king said to Hazael, Take an offering with you, and go to see the man of God and get directions from the Lord by him, saying, Am I going to get better from my disease?
9 Da gik Hazael ham i Møde; han tog en Gave med af alskens Kostbarheder, som fandfes i Damaskus, fyrretyve Kamelladninger, og trådte 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 see him, taking with him forty camels with offerings on their backs of every sort of good thing from Damascus; and when he came before him, he said, Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you, saying, Will I get better from this disease?
10 Elisa svarede: "Gå 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, You will certainly get better; but the Lord has made it clear to me that only death is before him.
11 Og han stirrede stift frem for sig og var ude af sig selv af Rædsel. Så brast den Guds Mand i Gråd,
And he kept his eyes fixed on him till he was shamed, and the man of God was overcome with weeping.
12 og Hazael sagde: "Hvorfor græder min Herre?" Han svarede: "Fordi jeg ved, hvilke Ulykkkr 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 på deres frugtsommelige Kvinder skal du rive Livet op!"
And Hazael said, Why is my lord weeping? Then he said in answer, Because I see the evil which you will do to the children of Israel: burning down their strong towns, putting their young men to death with the sword, smashing their little ones against the stones, and cutting open the women who are 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, How is it possible that your servant, who is only a dog, will do this great thing? And Elisha said, The Lord has made it clear to me that you will be king over Aram.
14 Derpå forlod han Elisa og kom til sin Herre; og han spurgte ham: "Hvad sagde Elisa til dig?" Han svarede: "Han sagde: Du kommer dig!"
Then he went away from Elisha and came in to his master, who said to him, What did Elisha say to you? And his answer was, He said that you would certainly get well.
15 Men næste Dag tog han et Klæde, dyppede det i Vand og bredte det over Ansigtet på Kongen, og det blev hans Død. Og Hazael blev Konge i hans Sted.
Now on the day after, Hazael took the bed-cover, and making it wet with water, put it over Ben-hadad's face, causing his death: and Hazael became king in his place.
16 I Akabs Søns, Kong Joram af Israels, femte Regeringsår blev Joram, Josafats Søn, Konge over Juda.
In the fifth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became king.
17 Han var to og tredive År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede otte År i Jerusalem.
He was thirty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years.
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.
He went in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the family of Ahab did: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the eyes 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 Åsyn.
But it was not the Lord's purpose to send destruction on Judah, because of David his servant, to whom he had given his word that he would have a light for ever.
20 I hans Dage rev Edomiterne sig løs fra Judas Overherredømme og valgte sig en Konge.
In his time, Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah, and took a king for 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, hvorpå Folket flygtede tilbage hver til sit.
Then Joram went over to Zair, with all his war-carriages; ... made an attack by night on the Edomites, whose forces were all round him, ... the captains of the war-carriages; and the people went in flight to their tents.
22 Således rev Edom sig løs fra Judas Overherredømme, og således er det den Dag i Dag. På samme Tid rev også Libna sig løs.
So Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah to this day. And at the same time, Libnah made itself free.
23 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Joram, alt, hvad han udførte, står optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.
Now the rest of the acts of Joram, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
24 Så 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 went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David: and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.
25 I Akabs Søns, Kong Joram af Israels, tolvte Regeringsår blev Ahazja, Jorams Søn, Konge over Juda.
In the twelfth year that Joram, the son of Ahab, was king of Israel, Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, became king;
26 Ahazja var to og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede eet År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Atalja og var Datter af Kong Omri af Israel.
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for one year. 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.
He went in the ways of the family of Ahab, and did evil in the eyes of the Lord as the family of Ahab did, for he was a son-in-law of the family of Ahab.
28 Sammen med Joram, Akabs Søn, drog han i Krig mod Kong Hazael af Aram ved Ramot i Gilead. Men Aramæerne sårede Joram.
He went with Joram, the son of Ahab, to make war on Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead: and Joram was wounded by the Aramaeans.
29 Så vendte Kong Joram tilbage for i Jizre'el at søge Helbredelse for de Sår, 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 lå syg.
So King Joram went back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which the bowmen had given him at Ramah, when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram. And Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram, the son of Ahab, in Jezreel, because he was ill.
