2 Kings 8

1 Elisha told the woman whose son he had brought back to life, “You and your family need to pack up and leave, and live where you can somewhere else like a foreigner. For the Lord announced a famine will come to the land and will last seven years.”

Elisa talte til den Kvinde, hvis Søn han havde kaldt til Live, og sagde: "Drag bort med dit Hus og slå dig ned som fremmed et eller andet Sted, thi HERREN har kaldt Hungersnøden hid; og den vil komme over Landet og vare syv År!"

2 The woman packed up and did what the man of God had told her. She and her family went and lived as foreigners for seven years in the country of the Philistines.

Da brød Kvinden op og gjorde, som den Guds Mand havde sagt, og drog med sit Hus hen og boede syv År som fremmed i Filisternes Land.

3 When the seven years were over, she came back from the country of the Philistines and went to the king to appeal for the return of her house and lands.

Men da der var gået syv År, vendte Kvinden tilbage fra Filisternes Land; Og hun gik hen og påkaldte Kongens Hjælp til at få sit Hus og sin Jord tilbage.

4 The king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, asking him, “Please tell me about all the wonderful things Elisha did.”

Kongen talte just med den Guds Mands Tjener Gehazi og sagde: "Fortæl mig om alle de storeGerninger, Elisa harudført!"

5 It so happened that right then Gehazi was telling the king the story of how Elisha had brought the dead boy back to life when his mother arrived to make her appeal to the king for the return of her house and lands. “My lord the king,” Gehazi called out, “this is the woman, and this is her son that Elisha brought back to life.”

Og netop som han fortalte Kongen, hvorledes han havde kaldt den døde til Live, kom Kvinden, hvis Søn han havde kaldt til Live, og påkaldt Kongens Hjælp til at få sit Hus og sin Jord tilbage. Da sagde Gehazi: "Herre Konge, der er den Kvinde, og der er hendes Søn. som Elisa kaldte til Live!"

6 The king asked the woman about it and she explained the whole story to him. The king gave orders to an official, saying, “Make sure everything that belonged to her is returned to her, together with all the profit from her lands from the day that she left the country until now.”

Kongen spurgte så Kvinden ud, og hun forfalte. Derpå gav Kongen hende en Hofmand med og sagde: "Sørg for, at hun får al sin Ejendom tilbage og alt, hvad hendes Jord har båret, siden den Dag hun forlod Landet!"

7 Elisha went to Damascus when Ben-hadad king of Aram was ill. The king was informed, “The man of God has arrived in town.”

Siden begav Elisa sig til Damaskus, hvor Kong Benbadad af Aram lå syg. Da Kongen fik at vide, at den Guds Mand var på Vej derhen,

8 The king ordered Hazael, “Take a gift with you and go and meet the man of God. Ask him to ask the Lord, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”

sagde han til Hazael: "Tag en Gave med, gå den Guds Mand i Møde og rådspørg HERREN gennem ham, om jeg kommer mig af min Sygdom!"

9 So Hazael went to meet Elisha. He took with him a gift of all the best things from Damascus—forty camel-loads of goods. He came in and stood before him and said, “Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you to ask, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”

Da gik Hazael ham i Møde; han tog en Gave med af alskens Kostbarheder, som fandfes i Damaskus, fyrretyve Kamelladninger, og trådte frem for ham og sagde: "Din Søn Benhadad, Arams Konge sender mig til dig og lader spørge: Kommer jeg mig af min Sygdom?"

10 “Go and tell him, ‘You will definitely recover.’ But the Lord has shown me that definitely he is going to die,” Elisha replied.

Elisa svarede: "Gå hen og sig ham: Du kommer dig!" Men HERREN har ladet mig skue, at han skal dø!"

11 Elisha stared at him for a long time until Hazael became uncomfortable. Then the man of God started to cry.

Og han stirrede stift frem for sig og var ude af sig selv af Rædsel. Så brast den Guds Mand i Gråd,

12 “Why are you crying, my lord?” asked Hazael. “Because I know the evil things you are going to do to the Israelites,” Elisha replied. “You will set their fortresses on fire, kill their young men with the sword, dash to pieces their little ones, and rip open their pregnant women.”

og Hazael sagde: "Hvorfor græder min Herre?" Han svarede: "Fordi jeg ved, hvilke Ulykkkr du skal bringe over Israeliterne! Deres Fæstninger skal du stikke i Brand, deres unge Mænd skal du hugge ned med Sværdet, deres spæde Børn skal du knuse, og på deres frugtsommelige Kvinder skal du rive Livet op!"

13 “But how could someone like me who's just a ‘dog’ achieve anything like that?” Hazael asked. “The Lord has shown me that you are going to be the king of Aram,” Elisha replied.

Da sagde Hazael: "Hvad er din Træl, den Hund, at han skal kunne gøre slige store Ting!" Elisa svarede: "HERREN har ladet mig skue dig som Konge over Aram!"

14 Hazael left Elisha and went to his master, who asked him, “What did Elisha tell you?” Hazael replied, “He told me you would definitely recover.”

Derpå forlod han Elisa og kom til sin Herre; og han spurgte ham: "Hvad sagde Elisa til dig?" Han svarede: "Han sagde: Du kommer dig!"

15 But the following day Hazael took the bed cover, soaked it in water, and spread it over the king's face until he died. Then Hazael took over from him as king.

Men næste Dag tog han et Klæde, dyppede det i Vand og bredte det over Ansigtet på Kongen, og det blev hans Død. Og Hazael blev Konge i hans Sted.

16 Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, began his reign as king of Judah in the fifth year of the reign of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, while Jehoshaphat was still king of Judah.

I Akabs Søns, Kong Joram af Israels, femte Regeringsår blev Joram, Josafats Søn, Konge over Juda.

17 He was thirty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eight years.

Han var to og tredive År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede otte År i Jerusalem.

18 Jehoram followed the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for he married a daughter of Ahab and did what was evil in the Lord's sight.

Han vandrede i Israels Kongers Spor ligesom Akabs Hus, thi han havde en Datter af Akab til Hustru, og han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne.

19 But for the sake of David his servant the Lord didn't want to destroy Judah since he had promised him that there would always be a ruler from his descendants, like a lamp forever.

Dog vilde HERREN ikke tilintetgøre Juda for sin Tjener Davids Skyld efter det Løfte, han havde givet ham, at han altid skulde have en Lampe for hans Åsyn.

20 During Jehoram's time as king, Edom rebelled against Judah's rule and chose their own king.

I hans Dage rev Edomiterne sig løs fra Judas Overherredømme og valgte sig en Konge.

21 So Jehoram went over to Zair with all his chariots. The Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, but he took action and attacked at night. But his army ran back to their homes.

Da drog Joram over til Za'ir med alle sine Stridsvogne. Og han stod op om Natten, og sammen med Vognstyrerne slog han sig igennem Edoms Rækker, der havde omringet ham, hvorpå Folket flygtede tilbage hver til sit.

22 As a result Edom has been in rebellion against Judah's rule to this day. At the same time Libnah also decided to rebel.

Således rev Edom sig løs fra Judas Overherredømme, og således er det den Dag i Dag. På samme Tid rev også Libna sig løs.

23 The rest of what happened in Jehoram's reign and all that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.

Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Joram, alt, hvad han udførte, står optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.

24 Jehoram died and was buried with his forefathers in the City of David. His son Ahaziah succeeded him as king.

Så lagde Joram sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet hos sine Fædre i Davidsbyen; og hans Søn Ahazja blev Konge i hans Sted.

25 Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, became king of Judah in the twelfth year of the reign of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel.

I Akabs Søns, Kong Joram af Israels, tolvte Regeringsår blev Ahazja, Jorams Søn, Konge over Juda.

26 Ahaziah was twenty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri, king of Israel.

Ahazja var to og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede eet År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Atalja og var Datter af Kong Omri af Israel.

27 Ahaziah also followed the evil ways of the family of Ahab, and did what was evil in the Lord's sight as the family of Ahab had done, for he was related to them by marriage.

Han vandrede i Akabs Hus's Spor og gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, ligesom Akabs Hus, thi han var besvogret med Akabs Hus.

28 Ahaziah went with Joram, son of Ahab, to fight against Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead. The Arameans wounded Joram,

Sammen med Joram, Akabs Søn, drog han i Krig mod Kong Hazael af Aram ved Ramot i Gilead. Men Aramæerne sårede Joram.

29 and he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he'd received in Ramah fighting against Hazael king of Aram. Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went to Jezreel to visit Joram, son of Ahab, because Joram was wounded.

Så vendte Kong Joram tilbage for i Jizre'el at søge Helbredelse for de Sår, Aramæerne havde tilføjet ham ved Ramot, da han kæmpede med Kong Hazael af Aram; og Jorams Søn, Kong Ahazja af Juda, drog ned for at se til Joram, Akabs Søn, i Jizre'el, fordi han lå syg.
