1 Kings 22
1 And they remained [at rest] three years, there being no war between Syria and Israel.
De holdt sig nu rolige i tre År, der var ikke Krig mellem Aram og Israel.
2 And it came to pass in the third year that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah 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 unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gil'ad is ours, and we remain idle, without taking 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 unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to the battle against Ramoth-gil'ad? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I [will be] like thee, my people like thy people, my horses like thy horses.
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 Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, today [first] of the word of the Lord.
Josafat sagde fremdeles til Israels Konge: "Spørg dog først om, hvad HERREN siger!"
6 Then assembled the king of Israel the prophets, about four hundred men, and said unto them, shall I go against Ramoth-gil'ad to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, 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 Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Eternal besides, that we might inquire of him?
Men Josafat spurgte: "Er her ikke endnu een af HERRENs Profe ter, vi kan spørge?
8 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we might inquire of the Lord; but I hate him; for he will never prophesy good concerning me, but evil: [it is] Michayhu the son of Yimlah. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
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 called the king of Israel a certain officer, and said, Hasten hither Michayhu the son of Yimlah.
Da kaldte Israels Konge på en Hofmand og sagde: "Hent hurtig Mika, Jimlas Søn!"
10 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, dressed in their regal garments, in a threshing-floor at 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 Zedekiah the son of Kena'anah had made himself horns of iron; and he said, Thus hath said the Lord, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have made an end of them.
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 so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gil'ad, and prosper; and the Lord will deliver it into the king's hand.
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 Michayhu spoke unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets are with one voice good for the king: do let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of any one of them, and speak something 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 And Michayhu said, As the Lord liveth, truly, what the Lord may say unto me, that will I speak.
Men Mika svarede: "Så sandt HERREN lever: Hvad HERREN siger mig, det vil jeg tale!
15 And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Michayhu, shall we go against Ramoth-gil'ad to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go up, and prosper; and may the Lord deliver it into the hand of the king.
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 And the king said unto him, How many times yet must I adjure thee that thou shalt not speak to me anything but the truth 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 over the mountains, as flocks that have not a shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no master; let them return every man 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 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not say unto thee that he would not prophesy concerning me any good, but [only] evil?
Israels Konge sagde da til Josafat: "Sagde jeg dig ikke, at han aldrig spår mig godt, kun ondt!
19 And he said, Therefore hear thou the word of the Lord, I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right and on his 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 will persuade Achab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gil'ad! And one said, In this manner, and another said, In that manner.
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 placed himself before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him. And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith?
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 I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou wilt persuade him, and also prevail: 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 And now, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets; but the Lord hath spoken evil concerning 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 Zedekiah, the son of Kena'anah, went near, and struck Michayhu on the cheek, and said, Which way passed the Spirit of the Lord away from me to speak with 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 Michayhu said, Behold, thou shalt see it on that day, when thou shalt go into the innermost 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 Michayhu, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and unto Joash the king's son;
Så sagde Israels Konge: "Tag Mika og bring ham tilbage til Amon, Byens Øverste, og Kongesønnen Joasj
27 And say, Thus hath said the king, Put this man in the prison, and feed him with sparing bread and with sparing water, until I come home 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 Michayhu said, If thou return at all in peace, then hath the Lord not spoken through me. And he said, Hear it, O all ye nations!
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 went up with Jehoshaphat the king of Judah to Ramoth-gil'ad.
Så drog Israels Konge og Kong Josafat af Juda op mod Ramot i Gilead.
30 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but do thou put on thy regal garments. And the king of Israel disguised himself, 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 captains over his chariots, thirty-two [in number], saying, Fight neither with a small nor a great one, save only with the king of Israel alone.
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 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely this is the king of Israel. And they turned aside against him to fight: and Jehoshaphat 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 it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from following him.
og da Vognstyrene opdagede, at det ikke var Israels konge, trak de sig bort fra ham.
34 But a man drew his bow at a venture, and struck the king of Israel between the joints and the armor; wherefore he said unto his chariot-driver. Turn about, and carry me out of the camp; for I am 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 increased on that day; and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians; but he died in the evening: and the blood of the wound flowed down into the hollow 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 there went a proclamation throughout the camp at the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own land.
Da Solen gik ned, gik det Råb gennem Lejren: "Enhver drage hjem til sin By og sit Land,
37 So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
thi Kongen er død!" Så kom de til Samaria, og de jordede Kongen der.
38 And the chariot was washed out at the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood, as they washed his armor: 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 Now the rest of the acts of Achab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he built, and all the cities that he built, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles 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 Achazyahu his son became king in his stead.
Så lagde Akab sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre; og hans Søn Ahazja blev Konge i hans Sted.
41 And Jehoshaphat the son of Assa became king over Judah in the fourth year of Achab the king of Israel.
Josafat, Asas Søn, blev Konge over Juda i Kong Akab af Israels fjerde Regeringsår.
42 Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he became king, and twenty and five years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was 'Azubah the daughter of Shilchi.
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 ways of Assa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing what is right in the eyes of the Lord: Nevertheless the high-places were not removed; for the people still offered, and burnt incense on 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 Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
Og Josafat havde Fred med Israels Konge.
45 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his mighty deeds that he showed, and how he warred, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
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 of the sodomites, that had been left in the days of his father Assa, did he put away out of the land.
De sidste af Mandsskøgerne, som var tilbage fra hans Fader Asas Tid, udryddede han af Landet.
47 There was then no king in Edom: a deputy was king.
På den Tid var der ingen Konge i Edom.
48 Jehoshaphat made Tharshish-ships to go to Ophir for gold; but they went not; for the ships were wrecked at 'Ezyon-geber.
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 said Achazyahu the son of Achab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.
Da foreslog Ahazja, Akabs Søn, Josafat at lade sine Folk sejle med hans; men Josafat afslog det.
50 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son became king 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 Achazyahu the son of Achab became king over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah; 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 what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who had induced 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 And he served Ba'al, and bowed down to him, and he provoked to anger the Lord the God of Israel, all just as his father had done.
Han dyrkede Ba'al og tilbad ham og krænkede HERREN, Israels Gud, nøjagtigt som hans Fader havde gjort.
