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 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 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 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 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 optendtes Herrens vrede mot Israel, og han gav dem i den syriske konge Hasaels og hans sønn Benhadads hånd hele tiden.
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 Joakas bønnfalt Herren, og Herren hørte ham, fordi han så Israels trengsel; for syrernes konge trengte 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 frelser, så de slapp ut av syrernes herredømme, og Israels barn bodde i sine hjem 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria. And Joash, his son, reigned 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 Jehoash, the king of Judah, Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, 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 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 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 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 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 slept with his fathers. Then Jeroboam sat upon his throne. And Joash was buried 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 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 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 And Elisha said to him, “Bring a bow and arrows.” And when he had brought a bow and arrows to him,
Da sa Elisa til ham: Hent en bue og nogen piler! Så hentet han en bue og nogen piler til ham.
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.
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 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.”
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 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,
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 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 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 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 begravde ham. Ved årets begynnelse pleide moabittiske herjeflokker å falle inn 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.
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 Now Hazael, the king of Syria, afflicted Israel during all the days of Jehoahaz.
Kongen i Syria Hasael hadde trengt Israel så lenge Joakas levde.
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 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, the king of Syria, died. And Benhadad, his son, reigned in his place.
Men da kongen i Syria Hasael var død, og hans sønn Benhadad var blitt 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.
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.
