2 Kings 13
1 In the twenty-third year of Joash, the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, became king over Israel in Samaria, ruling for seventeen years.
I Judas konge Joas', Akasjas sønns tre og tyvende år blev Joakas, Jehus sønn, konge over Israel i Samaria, og han regjerte i sytten år.
2 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, which he did and made Israel do; he did not keep himself from them.
Han gjorde hvad ondt var i Herrens øine, og fulgte Jeroboam, Nebats sønn, i hans synder, som han hadde fått Israel til å gjøre; dem vek han ikke fra.
3 So the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he gave them up into the power of Hazael, king of Aram, and into the power of Ben-hadad, the son of Hazael, again and again.
Da optendtes Herrens vrede mot Israel, og han gav dem i den syriske konge Hasaels og hans sønn Benhadads hånd hele tiden.
4 Then Jehoahaz made prayer to the Lord, and the Lord gave ear to him, for he saw how cruelly Israel was crushed by the king of Aram.
Men Joakas bønnfalt Herren, og Herren hørte ham, fordi han så Israels trengsel; for syrernes konge trengte dem.
5 (And the Lord gave Israel a saviour, so that they became free from the hands of the Aramaeans; and the children of Israel were living in their tents as in the past.
Og Herren gav Israel en frelser, så de slapp ut av syrernes herredømme, og Israels barn bodde i sine hjem som før.
6 But still they did not give up the sin of Jeroboam, which he made Israel do, but went on with it; and there was an image of Asherah in Samaria.)
Allikevel vek de ikke fra Jeroboams huses synder, som han hadde fått Israel til å gjøre; i dem vandret de; ja, endog Astarte-billedet blev stående i Samaria.
7 For out of all his army, Jehoahaz had only fifty horsemen and ten carriages and ten thousand footmen; the king of Aram had given them up to destruction, crushing them like dust.
Herren bønnhørte Joakas for han hadde ikke levnet Joakas flere folk enn femti hestfolk og ti vogner og ti tusen fotfolk; for kongen i Syria hadde ødelagt dem og tresket dem til støv.
8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all he did, and his great power, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
Hvad som ellers er å fortelle om Joakas, om alt det han gjorde, og om hans store gjerninger, det er opskrevet i Israels kongers krønike.
9 And Jehoahaz went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria; and Joash his son became king in his place.
Og Joakas la sig til hvile hos sine fedre, og han blev begravet i Samaria; og hans sønn Joas blev konge i hans sted.
10 In the thirty-seventh year of the rule of Joash, king of Judah, Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, became king over Israel in Samaria, ruling for sixteen years.
I Judas konge Joas' syv og trettiende år blev Joakas' sønn Joas konge over Israel i Samaria, og han regjerte i seksten år.
11 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not turning away from the sin of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, which he did and made Israel do, but he went on with it.
Han gjorde hvad ondt var i Herrens øine; han vek ikke fra nogen av Jeroboams, Nebats sønns synder, som han hadde fått Israel til å gjøre; dem vandret han i.
12 Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all he did, and the force with which he went to war against Amaziah, king of Judah, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
Hvad som ellers er å fortelle om Joas, om alt det han gjorde, og om hans store gjerninger, hvorledes han stred mot Judas konge Amasja, det er opskrevet i Israels kongers krønike.
13 And Joash went to rest with his fathers and Jeroboam took his place as king; and Joash was put into the earth in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
Og Joas la sig til hvile hos sine fedre, og Jeroboam satte sig på hans trone. Joas blev begravet i Samaria hos Israels konger.
14 Now Elisha became ill with the disease which was the cause of his death: and Joash, king of Israel, came down to him, and weeping over him said, My father, my father, the war-carriages of Israel and its horsemen!
Da Elisa var falt i den sykdom som han døde av, kom Israels konge Joas ned til ham og bøide sig gråtende over ham og sa: Min far, min far! Israels vogner og ryttere!
15 Then Elisha said to him, Take bow and arrows: and he took bow and arrows.
Da sa Elisa til ham: Hent en bue og nogen piler! Så hentet han en bue og nogen piler til ham.
16 And he said to the king of Israel, Put your hand on the bow: and he put his hand on it; and Elisha put his hands on the king's hands.
Og han sa til Israels konge: Legg din hånd på buen! Og han la sin hånd på den. Og Elisa la sine hender på kongens hender.
17 Then he said; Let the window be open to the east: and he got it open. Then Elisha said, Let the arrow go; and he let it go. And he said, The Lord's arrow of salvation, of salvation over Aram; for you will overcome the Aramaeans in Aphek and put an end to them.
Så sa han: Lukk op vinduet mot øst! Og han lukket det op. Da sa Elisa: Skyt! Så skjøt han. Da sa han: En frelsens pil fra Herren, en frelsens pil mot syrerne! Du skal slå syrerne i Afek og gjøre ende på dem.
18 And he said, Take the arrows: and he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, Send them down into the earth; and he did so three times and no more.
Så sa han: Ta pilene! Og han tok dem. Da sa han til Israels konge: Slå på jorden! Og han slo tre ganger; så holdt han op.
19 Then the man of God was angry with him and said, If you had done it five or six times, then you would have overcome Aram completely; but now you will only overcome them three times.
Da blev den Guds mann vred på ham og sa: Du burde ha slått fem eller seks ganger; da hadde du slått syrerne og gjort ende på dem; men nu skal du bare slå syrerne tre ganger.
20 And death came to Elisha and they put his body into the earth. Now in the spring of the year, armed bands of Moabites frequently came, overrunning the land.
Så døde Elisa, og de begravde ham. Ved årets begynnelse pleide moabittiske herjeflokker å falle inn i landet.
21 And while they were putting a dead man into the earth, they saw a band coming; and they put the man quickly into the place where Elisha's body was; and the dead man, on touching Elisha's bones, came to life again, and got up on his feet.
Så hendte det mens de var i ferd med å begrave en mann, at de fikk se en herjeflokk; da kastet de mannen ned i Elisas grav, og med det samme mannen rørte ved Elisas ben, blev han levende igjen og reiste sig op på sine føtter.
22 And Israel was crushed under the power of Hazael, king of Aram, all the days of Jehoahaz.
Kongen i Syria Hasael hadde trengt Israel så lenge Joakas levde.
23 But the Lord was kind to them and had pity on them, caring for them, because of his agreement with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; he would not put them to destruction or send them away from before his face till now.
Men Herren var dem nådig og forbarmet sig over dem og vendte sig til dem for den pakts skyld som han hadde gjort med Abraham, Isak og Jakob; han vilde ikke ødelegge dem, og han kastet dem ennu ikke bort fra sitt åsyn.
24 Then Hazael, king of Aram, came to his end; and Ben-hadad his son became king in his place.
Men da kongen i Syria Hasael var død, og hans sønn Benhadad var blitt konge i hans sted,
25 And Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, took again from Ben-hadad, the son of Hazael, the towns which he had taken from Jehoahaz his father in war. Three times Jehoash overcame him and got back the towns of Israel.
tok Joas, Joakas' sønn, de byer som Hasael hadde tatt fra hans far Joakas i krigen, tilbake fra Benhadad, Hasaels sønn. Tre ganger slo Joas ham og tok tilbake de byer som hadde hørt Israel til.
