2 Kings 13

1 In the twenty-third year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen years.

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

2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. He did not depart from it.

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

3 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, continually.

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

4 And Jehoahaz besought Jehovah, and Jehovah hearkened to him, for he saw the oppression of Israel, how that the king of Syria oppressed them.

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

5 (And Jehovah gave Israel a savior, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians, and the sons of Israel dwelt in their tents as beforetime.

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

6 Nevertheless they did not depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin, but walked therein. And the Asherah also remained in Samaria.)

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

7 For he did not leave to Jehoahaz of the people except fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen, for the king of Syria destroyed them, and made them like the dust in threshing.

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.

8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

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

9 And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria. And Joash his son reigned in his stead.

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

10 In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned sixteen years.

I Kong Joas af Judas syv og tredivte Regeringsaar blev Joas, Joahaz's Søn, Konge over Israel, og han herskede seksten Aar i Samaria.

11 And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah. He did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin, but he walked therein.

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.

12 Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

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

13 And Joash slept with his fathers, and Jeroboam sat upon his throne. And Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.

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

14 Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness of which he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over him, and said, My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and the horsemen of it!

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!«

15 And Elisha said to him, Take bow and arrows. And he took to him bow and arrows.

Men Elisa sagde til ham: »Bring Bue og Pile!« Og han bragte ham Bue og Pile.

16 And he said to the king of Israel, Put thy hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it. And Elisha laid his hands upon the king's hands.

Da sagde han til Israels Konge: »Læg din Haand paa Buen!« Og da han gjorde det, lagde Elisa sine Hænder paa Kongens

17 And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, Jehovah's arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Syria, for thou shall smite the Syrians in Aphek till thou have consumed them.

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!«

18 And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stopped.

Derpaa sagde han: »Tag Pilene!« Og han tog dem. Da sagde han til Israels Konge: »Slaa paa Jorden!« Og han slog tre Gange, men holdt saa op.

19 And the man of God was angry with him, and said, Thou should have smitten five or six times. Then thou would have smitten Syria till thou had consumed it, whereas now thou shall smite Syria but thrice.

Da vrededes den Guds Mand paa ham og sagde: »Du burde have slaaet fem-seks Gange, saa skulde du have tilføjet Aram et afgørende Nederlag, men nu skal du kun slaa Aram tre Gange!«

20 And Elisha died, and they buried him. Now the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.

Saa døde Elisa, og de jordede ham. Aar efter Aar trængte moabitiske Strejfskarer ind i Landet;

21 And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band, and they cast the man into the sepulcher of Elisha. And as soon as the man touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.

og da nogle Israeliter engang fik Øje paa en saadan 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.

22 And Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.

Kong Hazael af Aram trængte Israel haardt, saa længe Joahaz levede.

23 But Jehovah was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and had respect to them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither did he cast them from his presence as yet.

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

24 And Hazael king of Syria died, and Benhadad his son reigned in his stead.

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

25 And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz again took out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities, which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three times Joash smote him, and recovered the cities of Israel.

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.
