Kings IV 13
1 In the twenty-third year of Joas son of Ochozias king of Juda began Joachaz the son of Ju to reign in Samaria, [and he reigned] seventeen years.
I det tri og tjugande styringsåret åt Juda-kongen Joas Ahazjason vart Joahaz Jehuson konge yver Israel i Samaria, og han styrde i syttan år.
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked after the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin; he departed not from them.
Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo; han dreiv på med same synderne som Jerobeam Nebatsson, som han hadde forført Israel til; deim gav han ikkje upp.
3 And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and delivered them into the hand of Azael king of Syria, and into the hand of the son of Ader son of Azael, all their days.
Herren vart brennande harm på Israel; han gav deim i henderne på syrarkongen Hazael og Benhadad Hazaelsson, heile hans stryringstid.
4 And Joachaz implored the Lord, and the Lord listened to him, for he saw the affliction of Israel, because the king of Syria afflicted them.
Joahaz freista å blidka Herren, og Herren bønhøyrde honom, av di han såg den naudi syrarkongen førde Israel upp i.
5 And the Lord gave deliverance to Israel, and they escaped from under the hand of Syria: and the children of Israel lived in their tents as heretofore.
Herren gav då Israel ein frelsar, so dei slapp ut or syrarveldet, og Israels-borni fekk bu i hyttorne sine som fyrr.
6 Only they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who led Israel to sin: they walked in them—moreover the grove also remained in Samaria.
Like vel gav dei ikkje upp dei synderne som Jerobeams hus hadde forført Israel til; dei dreiv på sameleis; jamvel Astarte-bilætet fekk standa i fred i Samaria.
7 Whereas there was not left any army to Joachaz, except fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand infantry: for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and they made them as dust for trampling.
Hazael hadde ikkje leivt meir folk åt Joahaz enn femti hestfolk, ti vogner, og ti tusund mann fotfolk. So ille hadde syrarkongen øydt deim ut, knasa deim som gov ved treskjingi.
8 And the rest of the acts of Joachaz, and all that he did, and his mighty acts [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Det som elles er å fortelja um Joahaz, um alt det han gjorde og um hans storverk, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.
9 And Joachaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria: and Joas his son reigned in his stead.
Joahaz lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine og vart gravlagd i Samaria. Joas, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
10 In the thirty-seventh year of Joas king of Juda, Joas the son of Joachaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria sixteen years.
I det sju og trettiande styringsåret åt Joas, kongen i Juda, vart Joas Joahazson konge yver Israel, og han rådde i Samaria i sekstan år.
11 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord; he departed not from all the sin of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin: he walked in it.
Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo. Han gav ikkje upp nokor av dei synderne som Jerobeam Nebatsson hadde forført Israel til; han dreiv på sameleis.
12 And the rest of the acts of Joas, and all that he did, and his mighty acts which he performed together with Amessias king of Juda, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Det som elles er å fortelja um Joas, um alt det han gjorde og um hans storverk, soleis um krigen han førde mot Amasja, kongen i Juda, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.
13 And Joas slept with his fathers, and Jeroboam sat upon his throne, and he was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
Joas lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine, og Jerobeam steig upp i kongsstolen hans. Joas vart gravlagd i Samaria saman med Israels-kongarne.
14 Now Elisaie was sick of his sickness, whereof he died: and Joas king of Israel went down to him, and wept over his face, and said, [My] father, [my] father, the chariot of Israel, and the horseman thereof!
Då Elisa hadde fenge helsotti, gjekk Joas, kongen i Israel, ned til honom. Han bøygde seg yver honom, gret og ropa: «Far, far! du Israels vogner og ridarar!»
15 And Elisaie said to him, Take bow and arrows. And he took to himself a bow and arrows.
Elisa sagde med honom: «Henta ein boge og piler!» Han henta deim til honom.
16 And he said to the king, Put your hand on the bow. And Joas put his hand upon [it]: and Elisaie put his hands upon the king's hands.
Baud han so Israels-kongen: «Legg handi di på bogen!» Han so gjorde, og Elisa lagde sine hender på kongens hender.
17 And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. And Elisaie said, Shoot. And he shot. And [Elisaie] said, The arrow of the Lord's deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria; and you shall strike the Syrians in Aphec until you have consumed them.
So sagde han: «Lat upp vindauga mot aust!» Då han det hadde gjort, sagde Elisa: «Skjot!» Og han skaut. Då sagde han: «Ei sigers-pil frå Herren! ei sigers-pil mot syrarane! Du skal slå syrarane i Afek og tyna deim heilt.»
18 And Elisaie said to him, Take bow and arrows. And he took them. And [he] said to the king of Israel, Strike upon the ground. And the king struck three times, and stayed.
So sagde han: «Tak pilerne!» Då Israels-kongen hadde teke deim, sagde han til honom: «Slå på jordi!» Han slo tri gonger, og so slutta han.
19 And the man of God was grieved at him, and said, If you had struck five or six times, then you should have struck Syria till you had consumed them; but now you shall strike Syria [only] thrice.
Då vart gudsmannen harm på honom. «Du skulde ha slege fem eller seks gonger, » sagde han; «so vilde du ha tynt syrarane heilt; no kjem du til å slå syrarane tri gonger.»
20 And Elisaie died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites came into the land, at the beginning of the year.
Elisa døydde og vart gravlagd. Moabitarflokkar gjorde jamt røvarferder i landet ved nyårsbil.
21 And it came to pass as they were burying a man, that behold, they saw a band [of men], and they cast the man into the grave of Elisaie: and as soon as he touched the bones of Elisaie, he revived and stood up on his feet.
No hende det just som dei skulde jorda ein mann, at dei fekk sjå ein røvarflokk; so kasta dei mannen i Elisas grav. Og då mannen datt ned og kom innpå beini åt Elisa, so vart han livande att og reis upp på føterne.
22 And Azael greatly afflicted Israel all the days of Joachaz.
Syrarkongen Hazael heldt Israel i trælldom so lenge Joahaz livde.
23 And the Lord had mercy and compassion upon them, and had respect to them because of his covenant with Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob; and the Lord would not destroy them, and did not cast them out from his presence.
Men Herren miskunna deim og ynkast yver deim, og vende seg til deim for den pakt skuld som han hadde gjort med Abraham, Isak og Jakob; han vilde ikkje øyda deim ut og hadde ikkje endå kasta deim burt frå seg.
24 And Azael king of Syria died, and the son of Ader his son reigned in his stead.
Syrarkongen Hazael døydde, og Benhadad, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
25 And Joas the son of Joachaz returned, and took the cities out of the hand of the son of Ader the son of Azael, which he had taken out of the hand of Joachaz his father in the war: thrice did Joas strike him, and he recovered the cities of Israel.
Då tok Joas Joahazson att frå Benhadad Hazaelsson dei byarne som han hadde teke frå Joahaz, far hans. Tri gonger slo Joas deim, og tok soleis att Israels byar.
