2 Kings 4
1 Now a certain woman of the wives of the prophets cried to Eliseus, saying: Thy servant my husband is dead, and thou knowest that thy servant was one that feared God, and behold the creditor is come to take away my two sons to serve him.
En Kvinde, som var gift med en af Profetsønnerne råbte til Elisa: "Din Træl, min Mand, er død; og du ved, at din Træl frygtede HERREN. Og nu kommer en, der har Krav på ham, for at tage mine fo Drenge til Trælle!"
2 And Eliseus said to her: What wilt thou have me to do for thee? Tell me, what hast thou in thy house? And she answered: I thy handmaid have nothing in my house but a little oil, to anoint me.
Da sagde Elisa til hende: "Hvad kan jeg gøre for dig? Sig mig, hvad du har i Huset?" Hun svarede: "Din Trælkvinde har ikke andet i Huset end et Krus Olie."
3 And he said to her: Go, borrow of all thy neighbours empty vessels not a few.
Da sagde han: "Gå ud og bed alle dine Naboer om tomme Dunke, ikke for få!
4 And go in, and shut thy door, when thou art within, and thy sons: and pour out thereof into all those vessels: and when they are full take them away.
Så lukker du dig inde med dine Sønner og fylder på alle disse Dunke, og når de er fulde, sætter du dem til Side!"
5 So the woman went, and shut the door upon her, and upon her sons: they brought her the vessels, and she poured in.
Så gik hun fra ham og lukkede sig inde med sine Sønner; og de rakte hende Dunkene, medens hun fyldte på.
6 And when the vessels were full, she said to her son: Bring me yet a vessel. And he answered: I have no more. And the oil stood.
Og da Dunkene var fulde, sagde hun til Sønnen: "Ræk mig een Dunk til!" Men han svarede: "Der er ikke flere Dunke!" Da holdt Olien op at flyde.
7 And she came, and told the man of God. And he said: Go, sell the oil, and pay thy creditor: and thou and thy sons live of the rest.
Det kom hun og fortalte den Guds Mand; og han sagde: "Gå hen og sælg Olien og betal din Gæld; og lev så med dine Sønner af Resten!"
8 And there was a day when Eliseus passed by Sunam: now there was a great woman there, who detained him to eat bread; and as he passed often that way, he turned into her house to eat bread.
Det skete en Dag, at Elisa på sin Vej kom til Sjunem. Der boede en velhavende Kvinde, som nødte ham til at spise hos sig; og hver Gang han senere kom forbi, tog han derind og spiste.
9 And she said to her husband: I perceive that this is a holy man of God, who often passeth by us.
Hun sagde nu til sin Mand: "Jeg ved, af det er en hellig Guds Mand., der stadig kommer her forbi;
10 Let us therefore make him a little chamber, and put a little bed in it for him, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick, that when he cometh to us, he may abide there.
lad os mure en lille Stue på Taget og sætfe Seng, Bord, Stol og Lampe ind til ham, for at han kan gå derind, når han kommer til os!"
11 Now there was a certain day when he came and turned in to the chamber, and rested there.
Så kom han en Dag derhen og gik op i Stuen og lagde sig.
12 And he said to Giezi his servant Call this Sunamitess. And when he had called her, and she stood before him,
Og han sagde til sin Tjener Gehazi: "Kald på Sjunemkvinden!" Og han kaldte på hende, og hun trådte frem for ham.
13 He said to his servant: Say to her Behold thou hast diligently served us in all things, what wilt thou have me to do for thee? hast thou any business, and wilt thou that I speak to the king, or to the general of the army? And she answered: I dwell in the midst of my own people.
Da sagde han til Gehazi: "Sig til hende: Se, du har Itaft al den Ulejlighed for vor Skyld; hvad kan jeg gøre for dig? Ønsker du, at jeg skal tale din Sag hos Kongen eller Hærføreren?" Men hun svarede: "Jeg bor midt iblandt mit Folk!"
14 And he said: What will she then that I do for her? And Giezi said: Do not ask, for she hath no son, and her husband is old.
Da sagde han: "Hvad kan jeg da gøre for hende?" Gehazi sagde: "Jo, hun har ingen Søn, og hendes Mand er gammel."
15 Then he bid him call her: And when she was called, and stood before the door.
Da sagde han: "Kald på hende!" Og han kaldte på hende, og bun tog Plads ved Døren.
16 He said to her: At this time, and this same hour, if life accompany, thou shalt have a son in thy womb. But she answered: Do not, I beseech thee, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie to thy handmaid.
Da sagde han: "Om et År ved denne Tid har du en Dreng ved Brystet!" Men hun sagde: "Nej dog, Herre! Den Guds Mand må ikke narre sin Trælkvinde!"
17 And the woman conceived, and brought forth a son in the time, and at the same hour, that Eliseus had said.
Men Kvinden blev frugtsommelig og fødte en Søn Året efter ved samnme Tid, således som Elisa havde sagt hende.
18 And the child grew. And on a certain day, when he went out to his father to the reapers,
Da Drengen var blevet stor, gik han en Dag ud til sin Fader hos Høstfolkene.
19 He said to his father: My head acheth, my head acheth. But he said to his servant: Take him, and carry him to his mother.
Da sagde han til sin Fader: "Mit Hoved, mit Hoved!" Og hans Fader sagde til en Karl " "Bær ham hjem til hans Moder!"
20 And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, she set him on her knees until noon, and then he died.
Han tog, ham og har ham hjem til hans Moder, og han sad på hendes Skød til Middag; så døde han.
21 And she went up and laid him upon the bed of the man of God, and shut the door: and going out,
Men hun gik op og lagde ham på den Guds Mands Seng, og derefter lukkede hun Døren og gik.
22 She called her husband, and said: Send with me, I beseech thee, one of thy servants, and an ass that I may run to the man of God, and come again.
Så kaldte hun på sin Mand og sagde: "Send mig en af Karlene med et Æsel, for at jeg hurfig kan komme hen til den Guds Mand og hjem igen!"
23 And he said to her: Why dost thou go to him? today is neither new moon nor sabbath. She answered: I will go.
Han spurgte: "Hvad vil du hos ham i Dag? Det er jo hverken Nymånedag eller Sabbat!" Men hun sagde: "Lad mig om det!"
24 And she saddled an ass, and commanded her servant: Drive, and make haste, make no stay in going. And do that which I bid thee.
Derpå sadlede hun Æselet og sagde til Karlen: "Driv nu godt på! Stands mig ikke i Farten, før jeg siger til!"
25 So she went forward, and came to the man of God to mount Carmel: and when the mall of God saw her coming towards, he said to Giezi his servant: Behold that Sunamitess.
Så drog hun af Sted og kom til den Guds Mand på Kamels Bjerg. Da den Guds Mand fik Øje på hende i Frastand, sagde han til sin Tjener Gehazi: "Se, der er Sjunemkvinden!
26 Go therefore to meet her, and say to her: Is all well with thee, and with thy husband, and with thy son? and she answered: Well.
Løb hende straks i Møde og spørg hende: Har du det godt? Har din Mand det godt? Har Drengen det godt?" Hun svarede: "Ja, vi har det godt!"
27 And when she came to the man of God to the mount, she caught hold on his feet: and Giezi came to remove her. And the man of God said: Let her alone for her soul is in anguish, and the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.
Men da hun kom hen til den Guds Mand på Bjerget, klamrede hun sig til hans Fødder. Gehazi trådte til for at støde hende bort. men den Guds Mand sagde: "Lad hende være, hun er i Vånde, og HERREN har dulgt det for mig og ikke åbenbaret mig det!"
28 And she said to him: Did I ask a son of my lord? did I not say to thee: Do not deceive me?
Da sagde hun: "Har jeg vel bedt min Herre om en Søn? Sagde jeg ikke, at du ikke måtte narre mig?"
29 Then he said to Giezi: Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go. If any man meet thee, salute him not: and if any man salute thee, answer him not: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.
Så sagde han til Gehazi: "Omgjord din Lænd, tag min Stav i Hånden og drag af Sted! Møder du nogen, så hils ikke på ham. og hilser nogen på dig, så gengæld ikke hans Hilsen; og læg min Stav på Drengens Ansigt!"
30 But the mother of the child said: As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. He arose, therefore, and followed her.
Men Drengens Moder sagde: "Så sandt HERREN lever, og så sandt du lever, jeg går ikke fra dig!" Da stod han op og gik med hende.
31 But Giezi was gone before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child, and there was no voice nor sense: and he returned to meet him, and told him, saying: The child is not risen.
Imidlertid var Gehazi gået i Forvejen og havde lagt Staven på Drengens Ansigt; men ikke en Lyd hørtes, og der var intet Livstegn. Da vendte han tilbage og gik Elisa i Møde, meldte ham det og sagde: "Drengen vågnede ikke!"
32 Eliseus therefore went into the house, and behold the child lay dead on his bed.
Og da Elisa var kommet ind i Huset, så han Drengen ligge død på Sengen.
33 And going in he shut the door upon him, and upon the child, and prayed to the Lord.
Han gik da hen og lukkede sig inde med ham og bad til HERREN.
34 And he went up, and lay upon the child: and he put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he bowed himself upon him, and the child’s flesh grew warm.
Derpå steg han op og lagde sig oven på Drengen med sin Mund på hans Mund, sine Øjne på hans Øjne og sine Hænder på hans Hænder, og medens han således bøjede sig over ham, blev Drengens Legeme varmt.
35 Then he returned and walked in the house, once to and fro: and he went up, and lay upon him: and the child gaped seven times, and opened his eyes.
Så steg han ned og gik een Gang frem og tilbage i Huset, og da han atter steg op og bøjede sig over Drengen, nyste denne syv Gange og slog Øjnene op.
36 And he called Giezi, and said to him: Call this Sunamitess. And she being called, went in to him: and he said: Take up thy son.
Derpå kaldte han på Gehazi og sagde: "Kald på Sjunemkvinden!" Han kaldte så på hende, og hun kom til ham. Da sagde han: "Tag din Dreng!"
37 She came and fell at his feet, and worshipped upon the ground: and took up her son, and went out.
Og hun trådte hen og faldt ned for hans Fødder og kastede sig til Jorden, tog så sin Dreng og gik ud.
38 And Eliseus returned to Galgal, and there was a famine in the land, and the sons of the prophets dwelt before him. And he said to one of his servants: Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.
Dengang Hungersnøden var i Landet, vendte Elisa tilbage til Gilgal. Som nu Profetsønnerne sad hos ham, sagde han til sin Tjener: "Sæt den store Gtyde over og kog en Ret Mad til Profetsønnerne!"
39 And one went out into the field to gather wild herbs: and he found something like a wild vine, and gathered of it wild gourds of the field, and filled his mantle, and coming back he shred them into the pot of pottage, for he knew not what it was.
Så gik en ud på Marken for at plukke Urter, og da han fandt en Slyngplante med vilde Agurker, plukkede han så mange, han kunde bære i sin Kappe; da han kom tilbage, skar han dem itu og kom dem i Gryden, thi han kendte dem ikke.
40 And they poured it out for their companions to eat: and when they had tasted of the pottage, they cried out, saying: Death is in the pot, O man of God. And they could not eat thereof.
Derpå øste man op for Mændene, for at de kunde spise, men så snart de smagte Maden, skreg de op og råbte: "Døden er i Gryden, du Guds Mand!" Og de kunde ikke spise Maden.
41 But he said: Bring some meal. And when they had brought it, he cast it into the pot, and said: Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was now no bitterness in the pot.
Men han sagde: "Hent noget Mel!" Og da han havde hældt det i Gryden, sagde han: "Øs nu op for Folkene, så de kan spise!" Så var der ingen Ulykke i Gryden mere.
42 And a certain man came from Baalsalisa bringing to the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty leaves of barley, and new corn in his scrip. And he said: Give to the people, that they may eat.
Engang kom en Mand fra Ba'al-Sjalisja og bragte den Guds Mand Brød af nyt Korn, tyve Bygbrød, og nyhøstet Korn i sin Ransel. Da sagde han: "Giv Folkene det at spise!"
43 And his servant answered him: How much is this, that I should set it before a hundred men? He said again: Give to the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the Lord: They shall eat, and there shall be left.
Men hans Tjener sagde: "Hvorledes skal jeg kunne sætte dette frem for hundrede Mennesker?" Men han sagde: "Giv Folkene det at spise! Thi så siger HERREN: De skal spise og levne!"
44 So he set it before them: and they ate, and there was left according to the word of the Lord.
Da satte han det frem for dem, og de spiste og levnede efter HERRENs Ord.
