2 Kings 8
1 Now Elisha had spoken to the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, "Arise, and go, you and your household, and stay for a while wherever you can; for the LORD has called for a famine. It shall also come on the land seven years."
Elisa sagde med mor åt den guten han hadde gjort livande: «Ferda deg til, og far burt, du og huslyden din, og set bu kvar helst det buande er! for Herren hev sendt bod etter hungersnaudi, ho er alt komi og skal vara sju år.»
2 The woman arose, and did according to the word of the man of God. She went with her household, and lived in the land of the Philistines seven years.
Kona ferda seg til, og gjorde som gudsmannen sagde. Ho og huslyden hennar for ut, og sette bu i Filistarlandet i sju år.
3 It happened at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines. Then she went forth to cry to the king for her house and for her land.
Då dei sju åri var lidne, kom ho attende frå Filistarlandet. Og gav seg i veg til kongen til å beda um å få att heimen og jordeigedomen sin.
4 Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, "Please tell me all the great things that Elisha has done."
Kongen heldt just på å tala med Gehazi, drengen åt gudsmannen, og bad honom fortelja um alle dei storverki Elisa hadde gjort.
5 It happened, as he was telling the king how he had restored to life him who was dead, that look, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. Gehazi said, "My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life."
Medan han heldt på og fortalde kongen korleis han gjorde den daude guten livande, nett i det same kom mor åt den guten og bad kongen um heimen og jordeigedomen sin. «Herre konge!» sagde Gehazi, «der er kona; og der er son hennar, som Elisa gjorde livande.»
6 When the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her a certain officer, saying, "Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now."
Kongen spurde kona ut, og ho fortalde. So let kongen henne få ein av hirdmennerne med seg og baud honom: «Hjelp henne til å få att alt som høyrer henne til, og all avlingi av eigedomen frå den dagen ho for frå landet og til no!»
7 Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Aram was sick. It was told him, saying, "The man of God has come here."
Elisa kom til Damaskus, medan syrarkongen Benhadad låg sjuk. Då kongen spurde at gudsmannen var komen dit,
8 The king said to Hazael, "Take a present in your hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, 'Will I recover from this sickness?'"
sagde han med Hazael: «Tak med deg gåvor, gakk til møtes med gudsmannen og spør Herren gjenom honom um eg skal koma meg av denne sjukdomen.»
9 So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden, and came and stood before him, and said, "Your son Benhadad king of Aram has sent me to you, saying, 'Will I recover from this sickness?'"
Hazael so gjorde, tok med seg gåvor, alt det likaste som i Damaskus var, so mykje som fyrti kamelar kunde bera. Han gjekk fram for Elisa og sagde: «Son din, syrarkongen Benhadad, sender meg til deg og spør um han skal koma seg av denne sjukdomen.»
10 Elisha said to him, "Go, say to him, 'You shall surely recover;' however the LORD has shown me that he shall surely die."
Elisa svara honom: «Du kann segja med honom at han skal koma seg. Men Herren syner meg at han skal døy.»
11 He settled his gaze steadfastly on him, until he was ashamed. Then the man of God wept.
Medan han stod framfyre honom og nistirde, sette gudsmannen i og gret.
12 Hazael said, "Why do you weep, my lord?" He answered, "Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel. You will set their strongholds on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword, and will dash in pieces their little ones, and rip up their women with child."
«Kvifor græt du, herre?» spurde Hazael. «For di eg veit kor mykje ilt du vil gjera mot Israels-borni, » svara han; «dei faste byarne set du eld på, unggutarne deira myrder du med sverd, småborni krasar du, og barnkonorne skjer du upp.»
13 Hazael said, "But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he should do this great thing?" Elisha answered, "The LORD has shown me that you will be king over Aram."
Hazael sagde: «Korleis kann vel tenaren din, slik ein hund som eg er, gjera sovorne storverk?» Elisa svara: «Herren hev synt meg at du vert konge yver Syria.»
14 Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, "What did Elisha say to you?" He answered, "He told me that you would surely recover."
Han gjekk då frå Elisa heim att til herren sin. «Kva sagde Elisa med deg?» spurde han. «Han sagde med meg at du skal verta god att.»
15 It happened on the next day, that he took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died. Then Hazael reigned in his place.
Men so dagen etter tok han eit åklæde, duppa det i vatn og breidde det yver andlitet hans; det vart banen hans. Og Hazael vart konge etter honom.
16 In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat then being king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.
I femte styringsåret åt Israels-kongen Joram Ahabssons, medan Josafat var konge i Juda, vart Joram Josafatsson konge i Jerusalem.
17 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign. He reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
Tvo og tretti år gamall var han då han vart konge, og åtte år var han konge i Jerusalem.
18 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab; for he had the daughter of Ahab as wife. He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
Han for fram liksom Israels-kongarne og Ahabs hus; for han var gift med ei dotter til Ahab. Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo.
19 However the LORD would not destroy Judah, for David his servant's sake, as he promised him to give to him a lamp for his children always.
Men Herren vilde ikkje tyna Juda for sin tenar David skuld, etter di han hadde lova honom at det alle dagar skulde lysa ei lampa for honom og sønerne hans.
20 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
I hans tid reiv edomitarne seg laus frå Juda og kåra seg ein konge.
21 Then Joram passed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.
Då drog Joram av til Sa’ir med alle stridsvognerne sine. Og han tok um natti og slo edomitarne som kringsette honom, og hovudsmennerne yver vognerne, og herfolket flydde heim.
22 So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
So kom edomitarne seg laus frå Juda, og er frie den dag i dag. Nett samstundes reiv Libna seg og laus.
23 The rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Det som elles er å fortelja um Joram og alt det han gjorde, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Juda-kongarne.
24 Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
Joram lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine og vart gravlagd hjå federne sine, i Davidsbyen. Ahazja, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
25 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.
I det tolvte året åt Israels-kongen Joram Ahabsson vart Ahazja Joramsson konge i Juda.
26 Twenty-two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
Tvo og tjuge år gamall var Ahazja då han vart konge; eitt år var han konge i Jerusalem. Mor hans heitte Atalja, dotter åt Israels-kongen Omri.
27 He walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did the house of Ahab; for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
Han gjekk i fotefari åt Ahabs hus, og gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, etter gjerdi åt Ahabs hus; for han stod i skyldskap til Ahabs hus.
28 He went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth Gilead: and the Arameans wounded Joram.
Saman med Joram Ahabsson for han i herferd mot syrarkongen Hazael ved Ramot i Gilead. Men Joram vart såra av syrarane.
29 King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Arameans had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
Kong Joram vende då attende til Jizre’el, og vilde få lækt dei såri han hadde fenge av syrarane, i slaget ved Rama mot syrarkongen Hazael. Og Juda-kongen Ahazja Joramsson drog ned og vilde sjå um Joram Ahabsson i Jizre’el, etter di han låg sjuk.
