2 Kings 13

1 In the twenty-third year of Jehoash, the son of Ahaziah, the king of Judah, Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, for seventeen years.

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

2 And he did evil before the Lord. And he followed the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. And he did not turn aside from these.

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

3 And the fury of the Lord was enraged against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael, the king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad, the son of Hazael, during all the days.

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

4 But Jehoahaz petitioned the face of the Lord, and the Lord heeded him. For he saw the anguish of Israel, because the king of Syria had oppressed them.

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

5 And the Lord gave a savior to Israel. And they were freed from the hand of the king of Syria. And the sons of Israel lived in their tabernacles, just as yesterday and the day before.

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

6 Yet truly, they did not withdraw from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who had caused Israel to sin. Instead, they walked by them. And there was even a sacred grove still remaining in Samaria.

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

7 And there was left to Jehoahaz from the people nothing but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand foot soldiers. For the king of Syria had killed them, and he had reduced them to become like dust on a threshing floor.

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 But the rest of the words of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his strength, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Joahaz, alt, hvad han udførte, og hans Heltegerninger står 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 place.

Så 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 Jehoash, the king of Judah, Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, for sixteen years.

I Kong Joas af Judas syv og tredivte Regeringsår blev Joas. Joahaz's Søn, konge over Israel, og han herskede seksten År i Samaria.

11 And he did what is evil in the sight of the Lord. He did not turn aside from all the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. Instead, he walked by them.

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 But the rest of the words of Joash, and all that he did, and his strength, the manner in which he fought against Amaziah, the king of Judah, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days 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, står jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.

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

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

14 Now Elisha was sick of the infirmity from which he also died. And Joash, the king of Israel, descended to him. And he was weeping before him, and saying: “My father, my father! The chariot of Israel and its driver!”

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, “Bring a bow and arrows.” And when he had brought a bow and arrows to him,

Men Elisa sagde til ham: "bring Bue og Pile!" Og han bragte ham Bue og Pile.

16 he said to the king of Israel, “Place your hand upon the bow.” And when he had placed his hand, Elisha placed his own hands over the hands of the king.

Da sagde han til Israels Konge: "Læg din Hånd på Buen!" Og da han gjorde det, lagde Elisa sine Hænder på Kongens

17 And he said, “Open the window toward the east.” And when he had opened it, Elisha said, “Shoot an arrow.” And he shot it. And Elisha said: “It is the arrow of the salvation of the Lord, and the arrow of salvation against Syria. And you shall strike the Syrians at Aphek, until you consume 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 when he had taken them, he then said to him, “Strike an arrow against the ground.” And when he had struck three times, and he had stood still,

Derpå sagde han: "Tag Pilene!" Og han tog dem. Da sagde han til Israels Konge: "Slå på Jorden!" Og han slog tre Gange, men holdt så op.

19 the man of God became angry against him. And he said: “If you had struck five or six or seven times, you would have struck down Syria, even until it was consumed. But now you will strike it three times.”

Da vrededes den Guds Mand på ham og sagde: "Du burde have slået fem-seks Gange, så skulde du have tilføjet Aram et afgørende Nederlag, men nu skal du kun slå Aram tre Gange!"

20 Then Elisha died, and they buried him. And the robbers from Moab came into the land in the same year.

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

21 But certain ones who were burying a man saw the robbers, and they cast the dead body into the sepulcher of Elisha. But when it had touched the bones of Elisha, the man revived, and he stood upon his feet.

og da nogle Israeliter engang fik Øje på en sådan 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 Now Hazael, the king of Syria, afflicted Israel during all the days of Jehoahaz.

Kong Hazael af Aram trængle Israel hårdt, så længe Joabaz levede.

23 But the Lord took pity on them, and he returned to them, because of his covenant, which he had made with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob. And he was not willing to destroy them, nor to cast them out completely, even to the present time.

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

24 Then Hazael, the king of Syria, died. And Benhadad, his son, reigned in his place.

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

25 Now Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, by a just war, took the cities from the hand of Benhadad, the son of Hazael, which he had taken from the hand of Jehoahaz, his father. Joash struck him three times, and he restored the cities to 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.
