Kings IV 9
1 And Elisaie the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, Gird up thy loins, and take this cruse of oil in thy hand, and go to Remmoth Galaad.
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.
2 And thou shalt enter there, and shalt see there Ju the son of Josaphat son of Namessi, and shalt go in and make him rise up from among his brethren, and shalt bring him into a secret chamber.
Naar du kommer derhen, opsøg saa Jehu, Nimsjis Søn Josjafats Søn; gaa hen og faa ham til at staa op fra sine Fæller og før ham ind i det inderste Hammer;
3 And thou shalt take the cruse of oil, and pour [it] on his head, and say thou, Thus saith the Lord, I have anointed thee king over Israel: and thou shalt open the door, and flee, and not tarry.
tag saa Olieflasken og gyd Olien ud over hans Hoved med de Ord: Saa siger HERREN: Jeg salver dig til Konge over Israel! Derefter skal du lukke Døren op og flygte ufortøvet!«
4 And the young man the prophet went to Remmoth Galaad.
Den unge Mand, Profetens Tjener, drog saa til Ramot i Gilead;
5 And he went in, and, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have a message to thee, O captain. And Ju said, To which of all us? And he said, To thee, O captain.
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!«
6 And he arose, and went into the house: and he poured the oil upon his head, and said to him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I have anointed thee to be king over the people of the Lord, even over Israel.
Saa rejste han sig og gik ind i Huset; der gød han Olien ud over hans Hoved og sagde til ham: »Saa siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Jeg salver dig til Konge over HERRENS Folk, over Israel!
7 And thou shalt utterly destroy the house of Achaab thy master from before me, and shalt avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, at the hand of Jezabel,
Du skal hugge din Herre Akabs Hus ned, saa jeg faar Hævn over Jesabel for mine Tjenere Profeternes og alle HERRENS Tjeneres Blod.
8 and at the hand of the whole house of Achaab: and thou shalt utterly cut off from the house of Achaab every male, and him that is shut up and left in Israel.
Hele Akabs Hus skal omkomme, jeg vil udrydde hvert mandligt Væsen, hver og en af Akabs Slægt i Israel;
9 And I will make the house of Achaab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and as the house of Baasa the son of Achia.
jeg vil handle med Akabs Hus som med Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, og Ba'sjas, Ahijas Søns, Hus.
10 And the dogs shall eat Jezabel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.
Og Jesabel skal Hundene æde paa Jizre'els Mark, og ingen skal jorde hende!« Derpaa lukkede han Døren op og flygtede.
11 And Ju went forth to the servants of his lord, and they said to him, [Is] all well? Why came this mad fellow in to thee? And he said to them, Ye know the man, and his communication.
Da Jehu kom ud til sin Herres Folk, spurgte de ham: »Hvorledes staar det til? Hvad vilde den gale Mand hos dig?« Han svarede: »I kender jo den Mand og hans Snak!«
12 And they said, [It is] wrong: tell us now. And Ju said to them, Thus and thus spoke he to me, saying, —and he said, Thus saith the Lord, I have anointed thee to be king over Israel.
Men de sagde: »Udflugter! Sig os det nu!« Da sagde han: »Saaledes sagde han til mig: Saa siger HERREN: Jeg salver dig til Konge over Israel!«
13 And when they heard it, they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with the trumpet, and said, Ju is king.
Øjeblikkelig tog de da hver sin Kappe og lagde under ham paa selve Trappen, og de stødte i Hornet og udraabte Jehu til Konge.
14 So Ju the son of Josaphat the son of Namessi conspired against Joram, and Joram was defending Remmoth Galaad, he and all Israel, because of Azael king of Syria.
Saaledes stiftede Jehu, Nimsjis Søn Josjafats Søn, en Sammensværgelse mod Joram. Joram havde med hele Israel forsvaret Ramot i Gilead mod Kong Hazael af Aram;
15 And king Joram had returned to be healed in Jezrael of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, in his war with Azael king of Syria. And Ju said, If your heart is with me, let there not go forth out of the city one fugitive to go and report to Jezrael.
men Kong Joram var vendt tilbage for i Jizre'el at søge Helbredelse for de Saar, Aramæerne havde tilføjet ham, da han kæmpede med Kong Hazael af Aram. Da sagde Jehu: »Vil I som jeg, saa lad ikke en eneste slippe ud af Byen og bringe Bud til Jizre'el.«
16 And Ju rode and advanced, and came down to Jezrael; for Joram king of Israel was getting healed in Jezrael of the arrow-wounds wherewith the Syrians [had] wounded him in Rammath in the war with Azael king of Syria; for he [was] strong and a mighty man: and Ochozias king of Juda was come down to see Joram.
Derpaa steg Jehu til Vogns og kørte til Jizre'el; thi der laa Joram syg, og Kong Ahazja af Juda var rejst ned for at se til ham.
17 And there went up a watchman upon the tower of Jezrael, and saw the dust [made by] Ju as he approached; and he said, I see dust. And Joram said, Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Peace.
Da Vægteren, som stod paa Taarnet i Jizre'el, saa 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!«
18 And there went a horseman to meet them, and said, Thus says the king, Peace. And Ju said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn behind me. And the watchman reported, saying, The messenger came up to them, and has not returned.
Saa red Rytteren ham i Møde og sagde: »Saaledes siger Kongen: Kommer du med Fred?« Jehu svarede: »Hvad vedkommer det dig, om det er med Fred? Omkring, følg mig!« Vægteren meldte: »Sendebudet har naaet dem, men han kommer ikke tilbage!«
19 And he sent another horseman, and he came to him, and said, Thus says the king, Peace. And Ju said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn behind me.
Saa sendte han en anden Rytter ud; og da han var kommet hen til dem, sagde han: »Saaledes siger Kongen: Kommer du med Fred?« Jehu svarede: »Hvad vedkommer det dig, om jeg kommer med Fred? Omkring, følg mig!«
20 And the watchman reported, saying, He came up to them, and has not returned: and the driver drives Ju the son of Namessi, for it is with furious [haste].
Vægteren meldte: »Han har naaet dem, men han kommet ikke tilbage. Og de har en Fart paa, som var det Jehu, Nimsjis Søn, thi han farer af Sted som rasende.«
21 And Joram said, Make ready. And one made ready the chariot: and Joram the king of Israel went forth, and Ochozias king of Juda, each in his chariot, and they went to meet Ju, and found him in the portion of Nabuthai the Jezraelite.
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.
22 And it came to pass when Joram saw Ju, that he said, [Is it] peace, Ju? And Ju said, How [can it be] peace? as yet [there are] the whoredoms of thy mother Jezabel, and her abundant witchcrafts.
Da Joram fik Øje paa Jehu, spurgte han: »Kommer du med Fred, Jehu?« Men han svarede: »Hvad! Skulde jeg komme med Fred, saa længe det ikke har Ende med din Moder Jesabels Bolen og hendes mange Trolddomskunster!«
23 And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ochozias, Treachery, Ochozias.
Da drejede Joram omkring og flygtede, idet han raabte til Ahazja: »Svig, Ahazja!«
24 And Ju bent his bow with his full strength, and smote Joram between his arms, and his arrow went out at his heart, and he bowed upon his knees.
Men Jehu greb sin Bue og skød Joram i Ryggen, saa at Pilen gik igennem Hjertet, og han sank sammen i Vognen;
25 And [Ju] said to Badecar his chief officer, Cast him into the portion of ground of Nabuthai the Jezraelite, for I and thou remember, riding [as we were] on chariots after Achaab his father, that the Lord took up this burden against him, [saying],
og Jehu sagde til sin Høvedsmand Bidkar: »Tag og kast ham hen paa 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:
26 Surely, I have seen yesterday the blood of Nabuthai, and the blood of his sons, saith the Lord; and I will recompense him in this portion, saith the Lord. Now then, I pray thee, take him up and cast him into the portion, according to the word of the Lord.
Sandelig, Nabots og hans Sønners Blod saa jeg i Gaar, lyder det fra HERREN, og jeg bringer Gengældelse over dig her paa denne Mark, lyder det fra HERREN! Tag derfor og kast ham hen paa Marken efter HERRENS Ord!«
27 And Ochozias king of Juda saw [it], and fled by the way of Baethgan. And Ju pursued after him, and said, [Slay] him also. And one smote him in the chariot at the going up of Gai, which is Jeblaam: and he fled to Mageddo, and died there.
Da Kong Ahazja at Juda saa det, flygtede han ad Vejen til Bet-Hagan; men Jehu satte efter ham og raabte: »Ogsaa ham!« Og i Gurpasset, i Nærheden af Jibleam, skød de ham ned i Vognen. Han undslap til Megiddo, men der døde han.
28 And his servants put him on a chariot, and brought him to Jerusalem, and they buried him in his sepulchre in the city of David.
Hans Folk førte ham til Jerusalem og jordede ham i hans Grav hos hans Fædre i Davidsbyen.
29 And in the eleventh year of Joram king of Israel, Ochozias began to reign over Juda.
I Akabs Søn Jorams ellevte Regeringsaar blev Ahazja Konge over Juda.
30 And Ju came to Jezrael; and Jezabel heard [of it], and coloured her eyes, and adorned her head, and looked through the window.
Jehu kom nu til Jizre'el. Saa snart Jesabel hørte det, sminkede hun sine Øjne og smykkede sit Hoved og bøjede sig ud af Vinduet;
31 And Ju entered into the city; and she said, Had Zambri, the murderer of his master, peace?
og da Jehu kørte ind igennem Porten, raabte hun: »Kommer du med Fred, Zimri Kongemorder?«
32 And he lifted up his face toward the window, and saw her, and said, Who art thou? Come down with me. And two eunuchs looked down towards him.
Men han saa op til Vinduet og sagde: »Hvem holder med mig? Hvem?« Saa var der et Par Hofmænd, som saa ud efter ham,
33 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 they trampled on her.
og han raabte: »Styrt hende ned!« Saa styrtede de hende ned, og Blodet sprøjtede op paa Muren og paa Hestene, og de traadte hende ned.
34 And [Ju] went in and ate and drank, and said, Look now, after this cursed woman, and bury her, for she is a king's daughter.
Derpaa gik han ind og spiste og drak. Saa sagde han: »Tag jer af hende, den forbandede, og jord hende, hun var jo dog en Kongedatter!«
35 And they went to bury her; but they found nothing of her but the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.
Men da de gik ud for at jorde hende, fandt de ikke andet af hende end Hjerneskallen, Fødderne og Hænderne.
36 And they returned and told him. And he said, [It is] the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of Eliu the Thesbite, saying, In the portion of Jezrael shall the dogs eat the flesh of Jezabel.
Og de kom tilbage og meldte ham det; da sagde han: »Det er det Ord, HERREN talede ved sin Tjener Tisjbiten Elias: Paa Jizre'els Mark skal Hundene æde Jesabels Legeme!
37 And the carcass of Jezabel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezrael, so that they shall not say, [This is] Jezabel.
og Jesabels Lig skal blive som Gødning paa Ageren paa Jizre'els Mark, saa ingen kan sige: Dette er Jesabel!«
