1 Kings 22
1 And there passed three years without war between Syria and Israel.
De holdt sig nu rolige i tre År, der var ikke Krig mellem Aram og Israel.
2 And in the third year, Josaphat king of Juda came down to the king of Israel.
Og i det tredje År drog Kong Josafat af Juda ned til Israels Konge.
3 (And the king of Israel said to his servants: Know ye not-that Ramoth Galaad is ours, and we neglect to take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?)
Da sagde Israels Konge til sine Folk: "I ved jo, at Ramot i Gilead hører os til, og dog rører vi os ikke for at tage det fra Arams Konge!"
4 And he said to Josaphat: Wilt thou come with me to battle to Ramoth Galaad?
Og han sagde til Josafat: "Vil du drage med i Krig mod Ramot i Gilead?" Josafat svarede Israels Konge: "Jeg som du, mit Folk som dit, mine Heste som dine!"
5 And Josaphat said to the king of Israel: As I am, so art thou: my people and thy people are one: and my horsemen, thy horsemen. And Josaphat said to the king of Israel: Inquire, I beseech thee, this day, the word of the Lord.
Josafat sagde fremdeles til Israels Konge: "Spørg dog først om, hvad HERREN siger!"
6 Then the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and he said to them: Shall I go to Ramoth Galaad to fight, or shall I forbear? They answered: Go up, and the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.
Da lod Israels Konge Profeterne kalde sammen, henved 400 Mand, og spurgte dem: "Skal jeg drage i Krig mod Ramot i Gilead, eller skal jeg lade være?" De svarede: "Drag derop, så skal HERREN give det i Kongens Hånd!"
7 And Josaphat said: Is there not here some prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire by him?
Men Josafat spurgte: "Er her ikke endnu een af HERRENs Profe ter, vi kan spørge?
8 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: There is one man left, by whom we may inquire of the Lord: Micheas the son of Jemla; but I hate him, for he doth not prophesy good to me, but evil. And Josaphat said: Speak not so, O king.
Israels Konge svarede: "Her er endnu en Mand, ved hvem vi kan rådspørge HERREN; men jeg hader ham, fordi han aldrig spår mig godt, kun ondt; det er Mika, Jimlas Søn." Men Josafat sagde: Således må Kongen ikke tale!"
9 Then the king of Israel called an eunuch, and said to him: Make haste, and bring hither Micheas the son of Jemla.
Da kaldte Israels Konge på en Hofmand og sagde: "Hent hurtig Mika, Jimlas Søn!"
10 Then the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, sat each on his throne clothed with royal robes, in a court by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets prophesied before them.
Imidlertid sad Israels Konge og Kong Josafat af Juda, iført deres Skrud, hver på sin Trone i Samarias Portåbning, og alle Profeterne spåede foran dem.
11 And Sedecias the son of Chanaana made himself horns of iron, and said: Thus saith the Lord: With these shalt thou push Syria, till thou destroy it.
Da lavede Zidkija, Kena'anas Søn, sig Horn af Jern og sagde: "Så siger HERREN: Med sådanne skal du støde Aramæerne ned, til de er tilintetgjort!
12 And all the prophets prophesied in like manner, saying: Go up to Ramoth Galaad, and prosper, for the Lord will deliver it into the king’s hands.
Og alle Profeterne spåede det samme og sagde: "Drag op mod Ramot i Gilead, så skal Lykken følge dig, og HERREN vil give det i Kongens Hånd!"
13 And the messenger, that went to call Micheas, spoke to him, saying: Behold the words of the prophets with one month declare good things to the king: let thy word therefore be like to theirs, and speak that which is good.
Men Budet, der var gået efter Mika, sagde til ham: Se, Profeterne har alle som een givet Kongen gunstigt Svar. Tal du nu som de og giv gunstigt Svar!
14 But Micheas said to him: As the Lord liveth, whatsoever the Lord shall say to me, that will I speak.
Men Mika svarede: "Så sandt HERREN lever: Hvad HERREN siger mig, det vil jeg tale!
15 So he came to the king, and the king said to him: Micheas, shall we go to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall we forbear? He answered him: Go up, and prosper, and the Lord shall deliver it into the king’s hands.
Da han kom til Kongen, spurgte denne ham: "Mika, skal vi drage i Krig mod Ramot i Gilead, eller skal vi lade være?" Da svarede han: "Drag derop, så skal Lykken følge dig, og HERREN vil give det i Kongens Hånd!"
16 But the king said to him: I adjure thee again and again, that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the Lord.
Men Kongen sagde til ham: "Hvor mange Gange skal jeg besvære dig, at du ikke siger mig andet end Sandheden i HERRENs Navn?"
17 And he said: I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, like sheep that have no shepherd: and the Lord said: These have no master: let every man of them return to his house in peace.
Da sagde han: Jeg så hele Israel spredt på Bjergene som en Hjord uden Hyrd: og HERREN sagde: De Folk har ingen Herre, lad dem vende tilbage i Fred, hver til sit!
18 (Then the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Did I not tell thee, that he prophesieth no good to me, but always evil?)
Israels Konge sagde da til Josafat: "Sagde jeg dig ikke, at han aldrig spår mig godt, kun ondt!
19 And he added and said: Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on the right hand and on the left:
Da sagde Mika: "Så hør da HERRENs Ord! Jeg så HERREN sidde på sin Trone og hele Himmelens Hær stå til højre og venstre for ham;
20 And the Lord said: Who shall deceive Achab king of Israel, that he may go up, and fall at Ramoth Galaad? And one spoke words of this manner, and another otherwise.
og HERREN sagde: Hvem vil dåre Akab, så han drager op og falder ved Ramot i Gilead? En sagde nu eet, en anden et andet;
21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said: I will deceive him. And the Lord said to him: By what means?
men så trådte en Ånd frem og stillede sig foran HERREN og sagde: Jeg vil dåre ham! HERREN spurgte ham: Hvorledes?
22 And he said: I will go forth, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said: Thou shalt deceive him, and shalt prevail: a go forth, and do so.
Han svarede: Jeg vil gå hen og blive en Løgnens Ånd i alle hans Profefers Mund! Da sagde HERREN: Ja, du kan dåre ham; gå hen og gør det!
23 Now therefore behold the Lord hath given a lying spirit in the mouth of all thy prophets that are here, and the Lord hath spoken evil against thee.
Se, således har HERREN lagt en Løgnens Ånd i alle disse dine Profeters Mund, thi HERREN har ondt i Sinde imod dig!"
24 And Sedecias the son of Chanaana came, and struck Micheas on the cheek, and said: Hath then the spirit of the Lord left me, and spoken to thee?
Da trådte Zidkija, Kena'as Søn, frem og slog Mika på kinden og, sagde: "Ad hvilken Vej skulde HERRENs Ånd have forladt mig for at tale til dig?"
25 And Micheas said: Thou shalt see in the day when thou shalt go into a chamber within a chamber to hide thyself.
Men Mika sagde: "Det skal du få at se, den Dag du flygter fra Kammer til Kammer for at skjule dig!"
26 And the king of Israel said: Take Micheas, and let him abide with Ammon the governor of the city, and with Joas the son of Amalech.
Så sagde Israels Konge: "Tag Mika og bring ham tilbage til Amon, Byens Øverste, og Kongesønnen Joasj
27 And tell them: Thus saith the king: Put this man in prison, and feed him with bread of affliction, and water of distress, till I return in peace.
og sig: Såleds siger Kongen: Kast denne Mand i Fængsel og sæt ham på Trængselsbrød og Trængselsvand, indtil jeg kommer uskadt tilbage!"
28 And Micheas said: If thou return in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he said: Hear, all ye people.
Men Mika sagde: "Kommer du uskadt tilbage, så har HERREN ikke talet ved mig!" Og han sagde: "Hør, alle I Folkeslag!"
29 So the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda went up to Ramoth Galaad.
Så drog Israels Konge og Kong Josafat af Juda op mod Ramot i Gilead.
30 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Take armour, and go into the battle, and put on thy own garments. But the king of Israel changed his dress, and went into the battle.
Og Israels Konge sagde til Josafat: "Jeg vil forklæde mig, før jeg drager i Kampen; men tag du dine egne Klæder på!" Og Israels Konge forklædte sig og drog så i Kampen.
31 And the king of Syria had commanded the two and thirty captains of the chariots, saying: You shall not fight against any, small or great, but against the king of Israel only.
Men Arams Konge havde givet sine to og tredive Vognstyrere den Befaling: "I må ikke angribe nogen, være sig høj eller lav, uden Israels Konge alene!"
32 So when the captains of the chariots saw Josaphat, they suspected that he was the king of Israel, and making a violent assault they fought against him: and Josaphat cried out.
Da nu Vognstyrerne fik Øje på Josafat, tænkte de: "Det er sikkert Israels Konge!" Og de rettede deres Angreb mod ham. Da gav Josafat sig til at råbe;
33 And the captains of the chariots perceived that he was not the king of and they turned away from him.
og da Vognstyrene opdagede, at det ikke var Israels konge, trak de sig bort fra ham.
34 And a certain man bent his bow, shooting at a venture, and chanced to strike the king of Israel between the lungs and the stomach. But he said to the driver of his chariot: Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the army, for I am grievously wounded.
Men en Mand, der skød en Pil af på Lykke og Fromme, ramte Israels Konge mellem Remmene og Brynjen. Da sagde han til sin Vognstyrer: "Vend og før mig ud af Slaget, thi jeg er såret!"
35 And the battle was fought that day, and the king of Israel stood in his chariot against the Syrians, and he died in the evening: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.
Men Kampen blev hårdere og hårdere den Dag, og Kongen holdt sig oprejst i sin Vogn over for Aramæerne til Aften, skønt Blodet fra Såret flød ned i Bunden at Vognen; men om Aftenen døde han.
36 And the herald proclaimed through all the army before the sun set, saying: Let every man return to his own city, and to his own country.
Da Solen gik ned, gik det Råb gennem Lejren: "Enhver drage hjem til sin By og sit Land,
37 And the king died, and was carried into Samaria: and they buried the king in Samaria.
thi Kongen er død!" Så kom de til Samaria, og de jordede Kongen der.
38 And they washed his chariot in the pool of Samaria, and the dogs licked up his blood, and they washed the reins, according to the word of the Lord which he had spoken.
Og da man skyllede Vognen ved Samarias Dam, slikkede Hundene hans Blod, og Skøgerne badede sig deri efter det Ord, HERREN havde talet.
39 But the rest of the acts of Achab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Akab, alt, hvad han gjorde, Elfenbenshuset, han lod opføre, og alle de Byer, han befæstede, står jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.
40 So Achab slept with his fathers, and Ochozias his son reigned in his stead.
Så lagde Akab sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre; og hans Søn Ahazja blev Konge i hans Sted.
41 But Josaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Juda in the fourth year of Achab king of Israel.
Josafat, Asas Søn, blev Konge over Juda i Kong Akab af Israels fjerde Regeringsår.
42 He was five and thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned five and twenty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Azuba the daughter of Salai.
Josafat var fem og tredive År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede fem og tyve År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Azuba og var en Datter af Sjilhi.
43 And he walked in all the way of Asa his father, and he declined not from it: and he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord. Nevertheless he took not away the high places: for as Set the people offered sacrifices and burnt incense in the high places.
Han vandrede nøje i sin Fader Asas Spor og veg ikke derfra, idet han gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENs Øjne. Kun blev Offerhøjene ikke fjernet, og Folket blev ved at ofre og tænde Offerild på Højene.
44 And Josaphat had peace with the king of Israel.
Og Josafat havde Fred med Israels Konge.
45 But the rest of the acts of Josaphat, and his works which he did, and his batties, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Josafat, de Heltegerninger, han udførte, og de Krige, han førte, står jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.
46 And the remnant also of the effeminate, who remained in the days of Asa his father, he took out of the land.
De sidste af Mandsskøgerne, som var tilbage fra hans Fader Asas Tid, udryddede han af Landet.
47 And there was then no king appointed in Edom.
På den Tid var der ingen Konge i Edom.
48 But king Josaphat made navies on the sea, to sail into Ophir for gold: but they could not go, for the ships were broken in Asiongaber.
Kong Josafats Statholder byggede et Tarsisskib til Fart på Ofir efter Guld; men der kom intet ud af det, da Skibet gik under ved Ezjongeber.
49 Then Ochozias the ton of Achab said to Josaphat: Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. And Josaphat would not.
Da foreslog Ahazja, Akabs Søn, Josafat at lade sine Folk sejle med hans; men Josafat afslog det.
50 And Josaphat slept with his fathers. and was buried with them in the city of David his father: and Joram his son reigned in his stead.
Så lagde Josafat sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet hos sine Fædre i sin Fader Davids By og hans Søn Joram blev Konge i hans Sted.
51 And Ochozias the son of Achab began to reign over Israel in Samaria, in the seventeenth gear of Josaphat king of Juda, and he reigned over Israel two years,
Ahazja, Akabs Søn, blev Konge over Israel i Samaria i Kong Josafat af Judas syttende Regeringsår, og han herskede to År over Israel.
52 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father and his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, og vandrede i sin Faders og sin Moders Spor og i Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Spor, han, som forledte Israel til at synde.
53 He served also Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked the Lord the God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
Han dyrkede Ba'al og tilbad ham og krænkede HERREN, Israels Gud, nøjagtigt som hans Fader havde gjort.
