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 Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, Gird up thy loins, and take this vial of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth-Gilead.
2 Når du kommer derhen, opsøg så Jehu, Nimsjis Søn Josjafats Søn; gå hen og få ham til at stå op fra sine Fæller og før ham ind i det inderste Hammer;
And when thou art come thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him rise up from among his brethren, and bring him to an inner chamber;
3 tag så Olieflasken og gyd Olien ud over hans Hoved med de Ord: Så siger HERREN: Jeg salver dig til Konge over Israel! Derefter skal du lukke Døren op og flygte ufortøvet!"
then take the vial of oil, and pour it on his head and say, Thus saith Jehovah: I have anointed thee king over Israel; and open the door, and flee, and tarry not.
4 Den unge Mand, Profetens Tjener, drog så til Ramot i Gilead;
And the young man, the young prophet, went to Ramoth-Gilead.
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 when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting. And he said, I have an errand to thee, captain. And Jehu said, To which of all of us? And he said, To thee, captain.
6 Så rejste han sig og gik ind i Huset; der gød han Olien ud over hans Hoved og sagde til ham: "Så siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Jeg salver dig til Konge over HERRENs Folk, over Israel!
And he rose up and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: I have anointed thee king over the people of Jehovah, over Israel.
7 Du skal hugge din Herre Akabs Hus ned, så jeg får Hævn over Jesabel for mine Tjenere Profeternes og alle HERRENsjeneres Blod.
And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master; and I will avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Jehovah at the hand of Jezebel.
8 Hele Akabs Hus skal omkomme, jeg vil udrydde hvert mandligt Væsen, hver og en af Akabs Slægt i Israel;
And the whole house of Ahab shall perish, and I will cut off from Ahab every male, and him that is shut up and left 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 Ahab as the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and as the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah.
10 Og Jesabel skal Hundene æde på Jizre'els Mark, og ingen skal jorde hende!" Derpå lukkede han Døren op og flygtede.
And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the plot of Jizreel, and none shall bury her. And he opened the door and fled.
11 Da Jebu kom ud til sin Herres Folk, spurgte de ham: "Hvorledes står det til? Hvad vilde den gale Mand hos dig?" Han svarede: "I kender jo den Mand og hans Snak!"
And Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord. And one said to him, Is all well? why came this madman to thee? And he said to them, Ye know the man, and his mind.
12 Men de sagde: "Udflugter! Sig os det nu!" Da sagde han: "Således sagde han til mig: Så siger HERREN: Jeg salver dig til Konge over Israel!"
And they said, It is false! tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spoke he to me saying, Thus saith Jehovah: I have anointed thee king over Israel.
13 Øjeblikkelig tog de da hver sin Kappe og lagde under ham på selve Trappen, og de stødte i Hornet og udråbte Jehu til Konge.
Then they hasted and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the very stairs, and blew with trumpets, and said, Jehu is king!
14 Således stiftede Jehu, Nimsjis Søn Josjafats Søn, en Sammensværgelse mod Joram. Joram havde med hele Israel forsvaret Ramot i Gilead mod Kong Hazael af Aram;
And Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. (Now Joram kept Ramoth-Gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria;
15 men Kong Joram var vendt tilbage for i Jizre'el at søge Helbredelse for de Sår, Aramæerne havde tilføjet ham, da han kæmpede med Kong Hazael af Aram. Da sagde Jehu: "Vil I som jeg, så lad ikke en eneste slippe ud af Byen og bringe Bud til Jizre'el."
and king Joram had returned to be healed in Jizreel of the wounds that the Syrians had given him, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it be your will, let not a fugitive escape out of the city to go to tell [it] in Jizreel.
16 Derpå steg Jehu til Vogns og kørte til Jizre'el; thi der lå Joram syg, og Kong Ahazja af Juda var rejst ned for at se til ham.
And Jehu rode in a chariot and went to Jizreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram.
17 Da Vægteren, som stod på Tårnet i Jizre'el, så 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!"
And the watchman stood on the tower in Jizreel, and saw Jehu's company as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?
18 Så red Rytteren ham i Møde og sagde: "Således siger Kongen: Kommer du med Fred?" Jehu svarede: "Hvad vedkommer det dig, om det er med Fred? Omkring, følg mig!" Vægteren meldte: "Sendebudet har nået dem, men han kommer ikke tilbage!"
So there went one on horseback to meet him; and he said, Thus saith the king: Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told saying, The messenger came to them, and he does not return.
19 Så sendte han en anden Rytter ud; og da han var kommet hen til dem, sagde han: "Således siger Kongen: Kommer du med Fred?" Jehu svarede: "Hvad vedkommer det dig, om jeg kommer med Fred? Omkring, følg mig!"
And he sent out a second on horseback; and he came to them and said, Thus saith the king: Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me.
20 Vægteren tneldte: "Han har nået dem, men han kommet ikke tilbage. Og de har en Fart på, som var det Jebu, Nimsjis Søn, thi han farer af Sted som rasende."
And the watchman told saying, He came to them, and does not return. And the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; 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.
Then Joram said, Make ready! And they made ready his chariot. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot; and they went out to meet Jehu, and met him in the plot of Naboth the Jizreelite.
22 Da Joram fik Øje på Jehu, spurgte han: "Kommer du med Fred, Jehu?" Men han svarede: "Hvad! Skulde jeg komme med Fred, så længe det ikke har Ende med din Moder Jesabels Bolen og hendes mange Trolddomskunster!"
And it came to pass when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he said, What peace, so long as the fornications of thy mother Jezebel and her sorceries are so many?
23 Da drejede Joram omkring og flygtede, idet han roabte tiIAhazja: "Svig, Ahazja!"
Then Joram turned his hand, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, Treachery, Ahaziah!
24 Men Jehu greb sin Bue og skød Joram i Ryggen, så at Pilen gik igennem Hjertet, og han sank sammen i Vognen;
And Jehu took his bow in his hand, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out through his heart; and he sank down in his chariot.
25 og Jehu sagde til sin Høvedsmand Bidkar: "Tag og kast ham hen på 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 he said to Bidkar his captain, Take him up [and] cast him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jizreelite. For remember how, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, that Jehovah laid this burden upon him:
26 Sandelig, Nabots og hans Sønners Blod så jeg i Går, lyder det fra HERREN, og jeg bringer Gengældelse over dig her på denne Mark, lyder det fra HERREN! Tag derfor og kast ham hen på Marken efter HERRENs Ord!"
Certainly I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith Jehovah; and I will requite thee in this plot, saith Jehovah. And now, take [and] cast him into the plot, according to the word of Jehovah.
27 Da Kong Ahazja at Juda så det, flygtede han ad Vejen til BetHagan; men Jehu satte efter ham og råbte: "Også ham!" Og i Gurpasset, i Nærheden afJibleam, skød de ham ned i Vognen. Han undslap til Megiddo, men der døde han.
When Ahaziah king of Judah saw [that], he fled by the way of the garden-house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in his chariot. It was on the ascent of Gur, which is by Jibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.
28 Hans Folk førte ham til Jerusalem og jordede ham i hans Grav hos hans Fædre i Davidsbyen.
And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.
29 I Akabs Søn Jorams ellevte Regerinsgår blev Ahazja Konge over Juda.
(And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab had Ahaziah begun to reign over Judah.)
30 Jehu kom nu til Jizre'el. Så snart Jesabel hørte det, sminkede hun sine Øjne og smykkede sit Hoved og bøjede sig ud af Vinduet;
And Jehu came to Jizreel; and Jezebel heard of it, and she put paint to her eyes, and decked her head, and looked out at the window.
31 og da Jehu kørte ind igennem Porten, råbte hun: "Kommer du med Fred, Zimri Kongemorder?"
And when Jehu came in at the gate, she said, Is it peace, Zimri, murderer of his master?
32 Men han så op til Vinduet og sagde: "Hvem holder med mig? Hvem?" Så var der et Par Hofmænd, som så ud efter ham,
And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And two or three chamberlains looked out to him.
33 og han råbte: "Styrt hende ned!" Så styrtede de hende ned. og Blodet sprøjtede op på Muren og på Hestene, og de trådte hende ned.
And he said, Throw her down! And they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses; and he trampled on her.
34 Derpå gik han ind og spiste og drak. Så sagde han: "Tag jer af hende, den forbandede, og jord hende, hun var jo dog en Kongedatter!"
And he came in, and ate and drank; and he said, Go, look, I pray you, after this cursed [woman], and bury her; for 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 they went to bury her; but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of the hands.
36 Og de kom tilbage og meldte ham det; da sagde han: "Det er det Ord, HERREN talede ved sin Tjener Tisjbiten Elias: På Jizre'els Mark skal Hundene æde Jesabels Legeme!
And they came back and told him. And he said, This is the word of Jehovah, which he spoke through his servant Elijah the Tishbite saying, In the plot of Jizreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel;
37 og Jesabels Lig skal blive som Gødning på Ageren på Jizre'els Mark, så ingen kan sige: Dette er Jesabel!"
and the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the open field in the plot of Jizreel, so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.
