2 Kings 13
1 In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Achazyahu the king of Judah became Jehoachaz the son of Jehu king over Israel in Samaria [for] seventeen years.
I Judas konge Joas', Akasjas sønns tre og tyvende år blev Joakas, Jehus sønn, konge over Israel i Samaria, og han regjerte i sytten år.
2 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, and followed the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin: he departed not therefrom.
Han gjorde hvad ondt var i Herrens øine, og fulgte Jeroboam, Nebats sønn, i hans synder, som han hadde fått Israel til å gjøre; dem vek han ikke fra.
3 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel; and he gave them up into the hand of Chazael the king of Syria, and into the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Chazael, all the time.
Da optendtes Herrens vrede mot Israel, og han gav dem i den syriske konge Hasaels og hans sønn Benhadads hånd hele tiden.
4 And Jehoachaz besought the Lord; and the Lord hearkened unto him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Syria oppressed them.
Men Joakas bønnfalt Herren, og Herren hørte ham, fordi han så Israels trengsel; for syrernes konge trengte dem.
5 (And the Lord gave Israel a deliverer, so that they came out from under the power of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as in times past.
Og Herren gav Israel en frelser, så de slapp ut av syrernes herredømme, og Israels barn bodde i sine hjem som før.
6 Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jerobo'am, who induced Israel to sin, therein the people walked: and the Asherah also remained standing in Samaria.)
Allikevel vek de ikke fra Jeroboams huses synder, som han hadde fått Israel til å gjøre; i dem vandret de; ja, endog Astarte-billedet blev stående i Samaria.
7 For he had left of people to Jehoachaz none but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand men on foot; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust at threshing.
Herren bønnhørte Joakas for han hadde ikke levnet Joakas flere folk enn femti hestfolk og ti vogner og ti tusen fotfolk; for kongen i Syria hadde ødelagt dem og tresket dem til støv.
8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoachaz, and all that he did, and his mighty deeds, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Hvad som ellers er å fortelle om Joakas, om alt det han gjorde, og om hans store gjerninger, det er opskrevet i Israels kongers krønike.
9 And Jehoachaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son became king in his stead.
Og Joakas la sig til hvile hos sine fedre, og han blev begravet i Samaria; og hans sønn Joas blev konge i hans sted.
10 In the thirty and seventh year of Joash the king of Judah became Jehoash the son of Jehoachaz king over Israel in Samaria, [for] sixteen years.
I Judas konge Joas' syv og trettiende år blev Joakas' sønn Joas konge over Israel i Samaria, og han regjerte i seksten år.
11 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord; he departed not from all the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin: therein he walked.
Han gjorde hvad ondt var i Herrens øine; han vek ikke fra nogen av Jeroboams, Nebats sønns synder, som han hadde fått Israel til å gjøre; dem vandret han i.
12 And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his mighty deeds wherewith he fought against Amazyah the king of Judah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Hvad som ellers er å fortelle om Joas, om alt det han gjorde, og om hans store gjerninger, hvorledes han stred mot Judas konge Amasja, det er opskrevet i Israels kongers krønike.
13 And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jerobo'am sat upon his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
Og Joas la sig til hvile hos sine fedre, og Jeroboam satte sig på hans trone. Joas blev begravet i Samaria hos Israels konger.
14 Now Elisha' was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he had to die. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and their horsemen.
Da Elisa var falt i den sykdom som han døde av, kom Israels konge Joas ned til ham og bøide sig gråtende over ham og sa: Min far, min far! Israels vogner og ryttere!
15 And Elisha' said unto him, Fetch a bow and arrows. And he fetched unto him a bow and arrows.
Da sa Elisa til ham: Hent en bue og nogen piler! Så hentet han en bue og nogen piler til ham.
16 And he said to the king of Israel, Place thy hand upon the bow. And he placed his hand [upon it]: and Elisha' laid his hands upon the king's hands.
Og han sa til Israels konge: Legg din hånd på buen! Og han la sin hånd på den. Og Elisa la sine hender på kongens hender.
17 And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then said Elisha', Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of victory from the Lord, and the arrow of victory over Syria; and thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till they be consumed.
Så sa han: Lukk op vinduet mot øst! Og han lukket det op. Da sa Elisa: Skyt! Så skjøt han. Da sa han: En frelsens pil fra Herren, en frelsens pil mot syrerne! Du skal slå syrerne i Afek og gjøre ende på dem.
18 And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Strike upon the ground. And he struck three times, and stopped.
Så sa han: Ta pilene! Og han tok dem. Da sa han til Israels konge: Slå på jorden! Og han slo tre ganger; så holdt han op.
19 And the man of God was angry with him, and said, Thou shouldst have struck five or six times; then wouldst thou have smitten the Syrians till they had been consumed: whereas now thou shalt smite the Syrians three times.
Da blev den Guds mann vred på ham og sa: Du burde ha slått fem eller seks ganger; da hadde du slått syrerne og gjort ende på dem; men nu skal du bare slå syrerne tre ganger.
20 And Elisha' died, and they buried him. And the predatory bands of Moabites frequently invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
Så døde Elisa, og de begravde ham. Ved årets begynnelse pleide moabittiske herjeflokker å falle inn i landet.
21 And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they saw the band; and they cast down the man into the sepulchre of Elisha': and as the man came, and touched the bones of Elisha', he revived, and rose up on his feet.
Så hendte det mens de var i ferd med å begrave en mann, at de fikk se en herjeflokk; da kastet de mannen ned i Elisas grav, og med det samme mannen rørte ved Elisas ben, blev han levende igjen og reiste sig op på sine føtter.
22 But Chazael the king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoachaz.
Kongen i Syria Hasael hadde trengt Israel så lenge Joakas levde.
23 And the Lord became gracious unto them, and had mercy on them, and turned his regard unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, and he cast them not off from his presence even until now.
Men Herren var dem nådig og forbarmet sig over dem og vendte sig til dem for den pakts skyld som han hadde gjort med Abraham, Isak og Jakob; han vilde ikke ødelegge dem, og han kastet dem ennu ikke bort fra sitt åsyn.
24 And Chazael the king of Syria died: and Ben-hadad his son became king in his stead.
Men da kongen i Syria Hasael var død, og hans sønn Benhadad var blitt konge i hans sted,
25 And Jehoash the son of Jehoachaz took again the cities out of the power of Ben-hadad the son of Chazael, which he had taken out of the power of Jehoachaz his father in the war. Three times did Joash beat him, and he recovered the cities of Israel.
tok Joas, Joakas' sønn, de byer som Hasael hadde tatt fra hans far Joakas i krigen, tilbake fra Benhadad, Hasaels sønn. Tre ganger slo Joas ham og tok tilbake de byer som hadde hørt Israel til.
