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.
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 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;
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 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.
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 young prophet, went to Ramoth-Gilead.
Den unge Mand, Profetens Tjener, drog saa til Ramot 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Ahab as the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and as the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah.
jeg vil handle med Akabs Hus som med Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, og Ba'sjas, Ahijas 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 Jesabel skal Hundene æde paa Jizre'els Mark, og ingen skal jorde hende!« Derpaa lukkede han Døren op og flygtede.
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.
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 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.
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 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!
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 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;
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 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 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 Jehu rode in a chariot and went to Jizreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah had 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 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?
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 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?
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 Then Joram turned his hand, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, Treachery, Ahaziah!
Da drejede Joram omkring og flygtede, idet han raabte til Ahazja: »Svig, Ahazja!«
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 sin Bue og skød Joram i Ryggen, saa at Pilen gik igennem Hjertet, og han sank sammen i Vognen;
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 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 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.
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 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.
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 carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers 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 the son of Ahab had Ahaziah begun to reign over Judah.)
I Akabs Søn Jorams ellevte Regeringsaar blev Ahazja 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.
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 when Jehu came in at the gate, she said, Is it peace, Zimri, murderer of his master?
og da Jehu kørte ind igennem Porten, raabte hun: »Kommer du med Fred, Zimri Kongemorder?«
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.
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 he 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 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.
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 no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of the hands.
Men da de gik ud for at jorde hende, fandt de ikke andet af hende end Hjerneskallen, Fødderne og 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;
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 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 Lig skal blive som Gødning paa Ageren paa Jizre'els Mark, saa ingen kan sige: Dette er Jesabel!«
