2 Kings 9
1 And Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, Gird up thy loins, and take this vial of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth-Gilead.
Da kaldte Profeten Elisa ad en af Profeternes Børn, og han sagde til ham: Bind om dine Lænder og tag denne Oliekrukke i din Haand og gak til Ramoth i Gilead!
2 And when thou art come thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him rise up from among his brethren, and bring him to an inner chamber;
Og naar du kommer derhen, da se dig om efter Jehu, en Søn af Josafat, Nimsis Søn, og gak ind og lad ham staa op midt iblandt sine Brødre og led ham fra et Kammer til et andet;
3 then take the vial of oil, and pour it on his head and say, Thus saith Jehovah: I have anointed thee king over Israel; and open the door, and flee, and tarry not.
og tag Oliekrukken og øs paa hans Hoved og sig: Saa sagde Herren: Jeg har salvet dig til Konge over Israel; og du skal oplade Døren og fly og ikke bie.
4 And the young man, the young prophet, went to Ramoth-Gilead.
Og Drengen, Profetens Dreng, gik til Ramoth i Gilead.
5 And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting. And he said, I have an errand to thee, captain. And Jehu said, To which of all of us? And he said, To thee, captain.
Og der han kom derhen, se, da sade Høvedsmændene over Hæren der, og han sagde: Jeg har et Ord til dig, Høvedsmand! Og Jehu sagde: Til hvem iblandt os alle? og han sagde: Til dig, Høvedsmand!
6 And he rose up and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: I have anointed thee king over the people of Jehovah, over Israel.
Da stod han op og gik ind i Huset, og han øste Olie paa hans Hoved og sagde til ham: Saa sagde Herren, Israels Gud: Jeg har salvet dig til Konge over Herrens Folk, over Israel.
7 And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master; and I will avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Jehovah at the hand of Jezebel.
Og du skal slaa Akabs, din Herres, Hus, og jeg vil hævne mine Tjeneres, Profeternes, Blod og alle Herrens Tjeneres Blod paa Jesabel.
8 And the whole house of Ahab shall perish, and I will cut off from Ahab every male, and him that is shut up and left in Israel.
Og hele Akabs Hus skal omkomme, og jeg vil udrydde af Akabs alt Mandkøn, baade den bundne og den løsladte i Israel.
9 And I will make the house of Ahab as the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and as the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah.
Og jeg vil gøre Akabs Hus ligesom Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Hus og som Baesas, Ahias Søns, Hus.
10 And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the plot of Jizreel, and none shall bury her. And he opened the door and fled.
Og Hundene skulle æde Jesabel paa Jisreels Ager, og ingen skal begrave hende; og han lod Døren op og flyede.
11 And Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord. And one said to him, Is all well? why came this madman to thee? And he said to them, Ye know the man, and his mind.
Og der Jehu gik ud til sin Herres Tjenere, sagde man til ham: Staar det sig vel? hvorfor kommer denne gale Mand til dig? Og han sagde til dem: I kende Manden og hans Tanke.
12 And they said, It is false! tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spoke he to me saying, Thus saith Jehovah: I have anointed thee king over Israel.
Og de sagde: Det er falsk! giv os det dog til Kende; og han sagde: Saa og saa talte han til mig og sagde: Saa sagde Herren: Jeg har salvet dig til Konge over Israel.
13 Then they hasted and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the very stairs, and blew with trumpets, and said, Jehu is king!
Da skyndte de sig, og de toge hver sine Klæder og lagde under ham paa det øverste af Trapperne, og de blæste i Trompeten, og de sagde: Jehu er Konge.
14 And Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. (Now Joram kept Ramoth-Gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria;
Saa gjorde Jehu, en Søn af Josafat, Nimsis Søn, et Forbund imod Joram; og Joram laa for Ramoth i Gilead, han og al Israel, imod Hasael, Kongen af Syrien.
15 and king Joram had returned to be healed in Jizreel of the wounds that the Syrians had given him, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it be your will, let not a fugitive escape out of the city to go to tell [it] in Jizreel.
Men Kong Joram var kommen tilbage for at lade sig læge i Jisreel af de Saar, som Syrerne sloge ham, der han stred imod Hasael, Kongen af Syrien; og Jehu sagde: Dersom det er efter eders Sind, da skal ingen undkomme og slippe ud af Staden for at gaa bort og kundgøre det i Jisreel.
16 And Jehu rode in a chariot and went to Jizreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram.
Da red Jehu hen og drog til Jisreel, fordi Joram laa der; og Ahasia, Judas Konge, var kommen ned at besøge Joram.
17 And the watchman stood on the tower in Jizreel, and saw Jehu's company as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?
Og Skildvagten stod paa Taarnet i Jisreel og saa Jehus Hob, der han kom, og han sagde: Jeg ser en Hob; da sagde Joram: Tag en Rytter og send dem i Møde, og han skal sige: Er der Fred?
18 So there went one on horseback to meet him; and he said, Thus saith the king: Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told saying, The messenger came to them, and he does not return.
Og Rytteren drog ham i Møde og sagde: Saa siger Kongen: Er der Fred? Og Jehu sagde: Hvad har du med Freden at gøre? vend dig omkring og følg mig; og Skildvagten kundgjorde det og sagde: Budet kom til dem og kommer ikke tilbage.
19 And he sent out a second on horseback; and he came to them and said, Thus saith the king: Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me.
Da sendte han en anden Rytter; der han kom til dem, da sagde han: Saa sagde Kongen: Er der Fred? Og Jehu sagde: Hvad har du med Freden at gøre? vend dig omkring og følg mig!
20 And the watchman told saying, He came to them, and does not return. And the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he drives furiously.
Og Skildvagten kundgjorde det og sagde: Han kom til dem og kommer ikke tilbage, og det er en Fart ligesom Jehus, Nimsis Søns, Fart; thi han farer af Sted, som han var gal.
21 Then Joram said, Make ready! And they made ready his chariot. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot; and they went out to meet Jehu, and met him in the plot of Naboth the Jizreelite.
Da sagde Joram: Spænd for, og man spændte for hans Vogn; og de droge ud, Joram, Israels Konge, og Ahasia, Judas Konge, hver paa sin Vogn, og de droge ud Jehu i Møde, og de traf ham paa Jisreeliteren Naboths Ager.
22 And it came to pass when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he said, What peace, so long as the fornications of thy mother Jezebel and her sorceries are so many?
Og det skete, der Joram saa Jehu, da sagde han: Jehu, er der Fred? Og han sagde: Hvad Fred? medens din Moder Jesabels Horerier og hendes Trolddomskunster ere saa mange!
23 Then Joram turned his hand, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, Treachery, Ahaziah!
Da vendte Joram om og flyede og sagde til Ahasia: Det er Forræderi, Ahasia!
24 And Jehu took his bow in his hand, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out through his heart; and he sank down in his chariot.
Men Jehu greb med fuld Magt fat paa Buen og skød Joram imellem hans Arme, at Pilen for ud af hans Hjerte, og han segnede ned i sin Vogn.
25 And he said to Bidkar his captain, Take him up [and] cast him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jizreelite. For remember how, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, that Jehovah laid this burden upon him:
Og han sagde til sin Høvedsmand Bidekar: Tag ham op og kast ham paa Jisreeliteren Naboths Ager; thi kom i Hu, der jeg og du rede sammen efter hans Fader Akab, at Herren udtalte denne Spaadom over ham:
26 Certainly I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith Jehovah; and I will requite thee in this plot, saith Jehovah. And now, take [and] cast him into the plot, according to the word of Jehovah.
Mon jeg ikke i Gaar saa Naboths Blod og hans Sønners Blod, siger Herren, og skal betale dig paa den Ager? siger Herren. Saa tag ham nu op og kast ham paa Ageren efter Herrens Ord!
27 When Ahaziah king of Judah saw [that], he fled by the way of the garden-house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in his chariot. It was on the ascent of Gur, which is by Jibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.
Der Ahasia, Judas Konge, saa det, da flyede han ad Vejen til Havehuset; og Jehu forfulgte ham og sagde: Slaar ogsaa ham paa Vognen! Dette skete ved Opgangen til Gur, der ligger ved Jibleam; og han flyede til Megiddo og døde der.
28 And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.
Og hans Tjenere lode ham føre til Jerusalem og begravede ham i hans Grav hos hans Fædre i Davids Stad.
29 (And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab had Ahaziah begun to reign over Judah.)
Og i Jorams, Akabs Søns, ellevte Aar, var Ahasia bleven Konge over Juda.
30 And Jehu came to Jizreel; and Jezebel heard of it, and she put paint to her eyes, and decked her head, and looked out at the window.
Og Jehu kom til Jisreel; og Jesabel hørte det og satte Sminke paa sine Øjne og smykkede sit Hoved og saa ud igennem Vinduet.
31 And when Jehu came in at the gate, she said, Is it peace, Zimri, murderer of his master?
Og der Jehu kom i Porten, da sagde hun: Er der Fred, du Simri, som slog sin Herre ihjel?
32 And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And two or three chamberlains looked out to him.
Og han løftede sit Ansigt op til Vinduet og sagde: Hvo er med mig, hvo? Da saa to eller tre Hofbetjente ud til 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 he trampled on her.
Og han sagde: Styrter hende ned! og de styrtede hende ned, og af hendes Blod overstænkedes Væggen og Hestene, og man søndertraadte hende.
34 And he came in, and ate and drank; and he said, Go, look, I pray you, after this cursed [woman], and bury her; for she is a king's daughter.
Og der han var kommen ind og havde ædt og drukket, da sagde han: Kære, ser efter denne forbandede og begraver hende, thi hun er en Konges Datter.
35 And they went to bury her; but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of the hands.
Og der de gik hen at begrave hende, da fandt de intet af hende uden Pandeskallen og Fødderne og det flade af Hænderne.
36 And they came back and told him. And he said, This is the word of Jehovah, which he spoke through his servant Elijah the Tishbite saying, In the plot of Jizreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel;
Da kom de igen og gave ham det til Kende, og han sagde: Det er det Herrens Ord, som han talte ved sin Tjener Thisbiteren Elias og sagde: Hundene skulle æde Jesabels Kød paa Jisreels Ager.
37 and the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the open field in the plot of Jizreel, so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.
Og Jesabels døde Krop skal være som Møg paa Marken paa Jisreels Ager, saa at de ikke skulle kunne sige: dette er Jesabel.
