2 Kings 13
1 In the three and twentieth year of Joas son of Ochozias king of Juda, Joachaz the son of Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria, seventeen years.
I det tri og tjugande styringsåret åt Juda-kongen Joas Ahazjason vart Joahaz Jehuson konge yver Israel i Samaria, og han styrde i syttan år.
2 And he did evil before the Lord, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, and he departed not from them.
Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo; han dreiv på med same synderne som Jerobeam Nebatsson, som han hadde forført Israel til; deim gav han ikkje upp.
3 And the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael the king of Syria, and into the hand of Benadad the son of Hazael all days.
Herren vart brennande harm på Israel; han gav deim i henderne på syrarkongen Hazael og Benhadad Hazaelsson, heile hans stryringstid.
4 But Joachaz besought the face of the Lord, and the Lord heard him: for he saw the distress of Israel, because the king of Syria had oppressed them:
Joahaz freista å blidka Herren, og Herren bønhøyrde honom, av di han såg den naudi syrarkongen førde Israel upp i.
5 And the Lord gave Israel a saviour, and they were delivered out of the hand of the king of Syria: and the children of Israel dwelt in their pavilions as yesterday and the day before.
Herren gav då Israel ein frelsar, so dei slapp ut or syrarveldet, og Israels-borni fekk bu i hyttorne sine som fyrr.
6 But yet they departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin, but walked in them: and there still remained a grove also in Samaria.
Like vel gav dei ikkje upp dei synderne som Jerobeams hus hadde forført Israel til; dei dreiv på sameleis; jamvel Astarte-bilætet fekk standa i fred i Samaria.
7 And Joachaz had no more left of the people than fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen: for the king of Syria had slain them, and had brought them low as dust by thrashing in the barnfloor.
Hazael hadde ikkje leivt meir folk åt Joahaz enn femti hestfolk, ti vogner, og ti tusund mann fotfolk. So ille hadde syrarkongen øydt deim ut, knasa deim som gov ved treskjingi.
8 Rut the rest of the acts of Joachaz, and all that he did, and his valour, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Det som elles er å fortelja um Joahaz, um alt det han gjorde og um hans storverk, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.
9 And Joachaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria: and Joas his son reigned in his stead.
Joahaz lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine og vart gravlagd i Samaria. Joas, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
10 In the seven and thirtieth year of Joas king of Juda, Joas the son of Joachaz reigned over Israel in Samaria sixteen years.
I det sju og trettiande styringsåret åt Joas, kongen i Juda, vart Joas Joahazson konge yver Israel, og han rådde i Samaria i sekstan år.
11 And he did that which is evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, but he walked in them.
Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo. Han gav ikkje upp nokor av dei synderne som Jerobeam Nebatsson hadde forført Israel til; han dreiv på sameleis.
12 But the rest of the acts of Joas, and all that he did, and his valour wherewith he fought against Amasias king of Juda, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Det som elles er å fortelja um Joas, um alt det han gjorde og um hans storverk, soleis um krigen han førde mot Amasja, kongen i Juda, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.
13 And Joas slept with his fathers: and Jeroboam sat upon his throne. But Joas was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
Joas lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine, og Jerobeam steig upp i kongsstolen hans. Joas vart gravlagd i Samaria saman med Israels-kongarne.
14 Now Eliseus was sick of the illness whereof he died: and Joas king of Israel went down to him, and wept before him, and said: O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel and the guider thereof.
Då Elisa hadde fenge helsotti, gjekk Joas, kongen i Israel, ned til honom. Han bøygde seg yver honom, gret og ropa: «Far, far! du Israels vogner og ridarar!»
15 And Eliseus said to him: Bring a bow and arrows. And when he had brought him a bow, and arrows,
Elisa sagde med honom: «Henta ein boge og piler!» Han henta deim til honom.
16 He said to the king of Israel: Put thy hand upon the bow. And when he had put his hand, Eliseus put his hands over the king’s hands,
Baud han so Israels-kongen: «Legg handi di på bogen!» Han so gjorde, og Elisa lagde sine hender på kongens hender.
17 And said: Open the window to the east. And when he had opened it, Eliseus said: Shoot an arrow. And he shot. And Eliseus said: The arrow of the Lord’s deliverance, and the arrow of the deliverance from Syria: and thou shalt strike the Syrians in Aphec, till thou consume them.
So sagde han: «Lat upp vindauga mot aust!» Då han det hadde gjort, sagde Elisa: «Skjot!» Og han skaut. Då sagde han: «Ei sigers-pil frå Herren! ei sigers-pil mot syrarane! Du skal slå syrarane i Afek og tyna deim heilt.»
18 And he said: Take the arrows. And when he had taken them, he said to him: Strike with an arrow upon the ground. And he struck three times and stood still.
So sagde han: «Tak pilerne!» Då Israels-kongen hadde teke deim, sagde han til honom: «Slå på jordi!» Han slo tri gonger, og so slutta han.
19 And the man of God was angry with him, and said: If thou hadst smitten five or six or seven times, thou hadst smitten Syria even to utter destruction: but now three times shalt thou smite it.
Då vart gudsmannen harm på honom. «Du skulde ha slege fem eller seks gonger, » sagde han; «so vilde du ha tynt syrarane heilt; no kjem du til å slå syrarane tri gonger.»
20 And Eliseus died, and they buried him. And the rovers from Moab came into the land the same year.
Elisa døydde og vart gravlagd. Moabitarflokkar gjorde jamt røvarferder i landet ved nyårsbil.
21 And some that were burying a man, saw the rovers, and cast the body into the sepulchre of Eliseus. And when it had touched the bones of Eliseus, the man came to life, and stood upon his feet.
No hende det just som dei skulde jorda ein mann, at dei fekk sjå ein røvarflokk; so kasta dei mannen i Elisas grav. Og då mannen datt ned og kom innpå beini åt Elisa, so vart han livande att og reis upp på føterne.
22 Now Hazael king of Syria afflicted Israel all the days of Joachaz:
Syrarkongen Hazael heldt Israel i trælldom so lenge Joahaz livde.
23 And the Lord had mercy on them, and returned to them because of his covenant, which he had made with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob: and he would not destroy them, nor utterly cast them away, unto this present time.
Men Herren miskunna deim og ynkast yver deim, og vende seg til deim for den pakt skuld som han hadde gjort med Abraham, Isak og Jakob; han vilde ikkje øyda deim ut og hadde ikkje endå kasta deim burt frå seg.
24 And Hazael king of Syria died, and Benadad his son reigned in his stead.
Syrarkongen Hazael døydde, og Benhadad, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
25 Now Joas the son of Joachaz, took the cities out of the hand of Benadad, the son of Hazael, which he had taken out of the hand of Joachaz his father by war, three times did Joas beat him, and he restored the cities to Israel.
Då tok Joas Joahazson att frå Benhadad Hazaelsson dei byarne som han hadde teke frå Joahaz, far hans. Tri gonger slo Joas deim, og tok soleis att Israels byar.
