2 Kings 4

1 And a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets has cried to Elisha, saying, “Your servant, my husband, is dead, and you have known that your servant was fearing YHWH, and the lender has come to take my two children to himself for servants.”

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 Elisha says to her, “What do I do for you? Declare to me, what do you have in the house?” And she says, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house except a pot of oil.”

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 says, “Go, ask [for] vessels for yourself from outside, from all your neighbors—empty vessels—let [them] not be few;

Da sagde han: "Gå ud og bed alle dine Naboer om tomme Dunke, ikke for få!

4 and you have entered, and have shut the door on you, and on your sons, and have poured it into all these vessels, and the full ones you remove.”

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 And she goes from him, and shuts the door on her, and on her sons; they are bringing [them] near to her, and she is pouring [it] out,

Så gik hun fra ham og lukkede sig inde med sine Sønner; og de rakte hende Dunkene, medens hun fyldte på.

6 and it comes to pass, at the filling of the vessels, that she says to her son, “Bring another vessel near to me,” and he says to her, “There is not another vessel”; and the oil stays.

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 comes and declares [it] to the man of God, and he says, “Go, sell the oil, and repay your loan; and you [and] your sons live off 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 the day comes that Elisha passes over to Shunem, and there [is] a great woman, and she lays hold on him to eat bread, and it comes to pass, at the time of his passing over, he turns aside there 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 says to her husband, “Now behold, I have known that he is a holy man of God, passing over by us continually;

Hun sagde nu til sin Mand: "Jeg ved, af det er en hellig Guds Mand., der stadig kommer her forbi;

10 please let us make a little upper chamber of the wall, and we set for him there a bed, and a table, and a high seat, and a lampstand; and it has been, in his coming to us, he turns aside 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 And the day comes that he comes in there, and turns aside to the upper chamber, and lies there,

Så kom han en Dag derhen og gik op i Stuen og lagde sig.

12 and he says to his young man Gehazi, “Call for this Shunammite”; and he calls for her, and she stands before him.

Og han sagde til sin Tjener Gehazi: "Kald på Sjunemkvinden!" Og han kaldte på hende, og hun trådte frem for ham.

13 And he says to him, “Now say to her, Behold, you have troubled yourself concerning us with all this trouble; what can [I] do for you? Is it to speak for you to the king, or to the head of the host?” And she says, “I am dwelling in the midst of my 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 says, “And what can [I] do for her?” And Gehazi says, “Truly she has no son, and her husband [is] aged.”

Da sagde han: "Hvad kan jeg da gøre for hende?" Gehazi sagde: "Jo, hun har ingen Søn, og hendes Mand er gammel."

15 And he says, “Call for her”; and he calls for her, and she stands at the opening,

Da sagde han: "Kald på hende!" Og han kaldte på hende, og bun tog Plads ved Døren.

16 and he says, “At this season, according to the time of life, you are embracing a son”; and she says, “No, my lord, O man of God, do not lie to your maidservant.”

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 conceives and bears a son, at this season, according to the time of life that Elisha spoke of to her.

Men Kvinden blev frugtsommelig og fødte en Søn Året efter ved samnme Tid, således som Elisa havde sagt hende.

18 And the boy grows, and the day comes that he goes out to his father, to the reapers,

Da Drengen var blevet stor, gik han en Dag ud til sin Fader hos Høstfolkene.

19 and he says to his father, “My head, my head”; and he says to the young man, “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 he carries him, and brings him to his mother, and he sits on her knees until the noon, and dies.

Han tog, ham og har ham hjem til hans Moder, og han sad på hendes Skød til Middag; så døde han.

21 And she goes up, and lays him on the bed of the man of God, and shuts [the door] on him, and goes out,

Men hun gik op og lagde ham på den Guds Mands Seng, og derefter lukkede hun Døren og gik.

22 and calls to her husband and says, “Please send one of the young men and one of the donkeys to me, and I run to the man of God, and return.”

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 says, “Why are you going to him today? [It is] neither new moon nor Sabbath!” And she says, “Peace [to you]!”

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 saddles the donkey and says to her young man, “Lead, and go, do not restrain riding for me, except I have commanded [so] to you.”

Derpå sadlede hun Æselet og sagde til Karlen: "Driv nu godt på! Stands mig ikke i Farten, før jeg siger til!"

25 And she goes, and comes to the man of God, to the hill of Carmel, and it comes to pass, at the man of God’s seeing her from within view, that he says to his young man Gehazi, “Behold, this Shunammite;

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 now please run to meet her, and say to her, Is there peace to you? Is there peace to your husband? Is there peace to the boy?” And she says, “Peace.”

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 she comes to the man of God, to the hill, and lays hold on his feet, and Gehazi comes near to thrust her away, and the man of God says, “Leave her alone, for her soul [is] bitter to her, and YHWH has hidden [it] from me, and has not declared [it] to 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 says, “Did I ask for a son from my lord? Did I not say, 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 And he says to Gehazi, “Gird up your loins, and take my staff in your hand, and go; when you meet a man, you do not greet him; and when a man greets you, you do not answer him; and you have laid my staff on the face of the youth.”

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 And the mother of the youth says, “YHWH lives, and your soul lives—if I leave you”; and he rises and goes after 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 And Gehazi has passed on before them, and lays the staff on the face of the youth, and there is no voice, and there is no attention, and he turns back to meet him, and declares to him, saying, “The youth has not awoken.”

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 And Elisha comes into the house, and behold, the youth is dead, laid on his bed,

Og da Elisa var kommet ind i Huset, så han Drengen ligge død på Sengen.

33 and he goes in and shuts the door on them both, and prays to YHWH.

Han gik da hen og lukkede sig inde med ham og bad til HERREN.

34 And he goes up, and lies down on the boy, and puts his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands, and stretches himself on him, and the flesh of the boy becomes 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 and he turns back and walks in the house, once here and once there, and goes up and stretches himself on him, and the youth sneezes until seven times, and the youth opens 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 calls to Gehazi and says, “Call to this Shunammite”; and he calls her, and she comes to him, and he says, “Lift up your 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 And she goes in, and falls at his feet, and bows herself to the earth, and lifts up her son, and goes 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 Elisha has turned back to Gilgal, and the famine [is] in the land, and the sons of the prophets are sitting before him, and he says to his young man, “Set on the great pot, and boil stew 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 goes out to the field to gather herbs, and finds a vine of the field, and gathers gourds of the field from it—the fullness of his garment—and comes in and splits [them] into the pot of stew, for they did not know [them];

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 pour out for the men to eat, and it comes to pass at their eating of the stew, that they have cried out, and say, “Death [is] in the pot, O man of God!” And they have not been able to eat.

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 And he says, “Then bring a meal”; and he casts into the pot and says, “Pour out for the people, and they eat”; and there was no bad thing 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 man has come from Ba‘al-Shalishah, and brings to the man of God bread of first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of grain in its husk, and he says, “Give to the people, and they 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 minister says, “How do I give this before one hundred men?” And he says, “Give to the people, and they eat, for thus said YHWH: Eat and leave”;

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 and he gives before them, and they eat and leave, according to the word of YHWH.

Da satte han det frem for dem, og de spiste og levnede efter HERRENs Ord.
