1 Kings 22
1 They continued three years without war between Aram and Israel.
De holdt sig nu rolige i tre År, der var ikke Krig mellem Aram og Israel.
2 It happened 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 The king of Israel said to his servants, "You know that Ramoth Gilead is ours, and we are still, and do not take it out of the hand of the king of Aram?"
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 He said to Jehoshaphat, "Will you go with me to battle to Ramoth Gilead?" Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your 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 Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "Please inquire first for the word of the LORD."
Josafat sagde fremdeles til Israels Konge: "Spørg dog først om, hvad HERREN siger!"
6 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, "Shall I go against Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I refrain?" They said, "Go up; for 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 But Jehoshaphat said, "Isn't there here a prophet of the LORD, that we may inquire of him?"
Men Josafat spurgte: "Er her ikke endnu een af HERRENs Profe ter, vi kan spørge?
8 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD, Micaiah the son of Imlah; but I hate him; for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil." Jehoshaphat said, "Do not let 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 the king of Israel called an officer, and said, "Quickly get Micaiah the son of Imlah."
Da kaldte Israels Konge på en Hofmand og sagde: "Hent hurtig Mika, Jimlas Søn!"
10 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying 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 Zedekiah the son of Kenaanah made him horns of iron, and said, "Thus says the LORD, 'With these you shall push the Arameans, until they are consumed.'"
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 All the prophets prophesied so, saying, "Go up to Ramoth Gilead, and prosper; for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king."
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 The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, "See now, the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth. Please let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak 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 Micaiah said, "As the LORD lives, what the LORD says to me, that I will speak."
Men Mika svarede: "Så sandt HERREN lever: Hvad HERREN siger mig, det vil jeg tale!
15 When he had come to the king, the king said to him, "Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall we forbear?" He answered him, "Go up and prosper; and the LORD will 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 The king said to him, "How many times do I have to adjure you that you speak to me nothing 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 He said, "I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. The LORD said, 'These have no master. Let them each return 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 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?"
Israels Konge sagde da til Josafat: "Sagde jeg dig ikke, at han aldrig spår mig godt, kun ondt!
19 Micaiah said, "Therefore hear the word of the LORD. I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on his right hand 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 The LORD said, 'Who shall entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?' One said one thing; and another said another.
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 A spirit came out and stood before the LORD, and said, 'I will entice him.'
men så trådte en Ånd frem og stillede sig foran HERREN og sagde: Jeg vil dåre ham! HERREN spurgte ham: Hvorledes?
22 The LORD said to him, 'How?' He said, 'I will go out and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' He said, 'You will entice him, and will also prevail. Go out 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 Now therefore, look, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the LORD has pronounced disaster against you."
Se, således har HERREN lagt en Løgnens Ånd i alle disse dine Profeters Mund, thi HERREN har ondt i Sinde imod dig!"
24 Then Zedekiah the son of Kenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, "Which way did the Spirit of the LORD go from me to speak to you?"
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 Micaiah said, "Look, you will see on that day, when you go into an inner room to hide yourself."
Men Mika sagde: "Det skal du få at se, den Dag du flygter fra Kammer til Kammer for at skjule dig!"
26 The king of Israel said, "Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son.
Så sagde Israels Konge: "Tag Mika og bring ham tilbage til Amon, Byens Øverste, og Kongesønnen Joasj
27 Say, 'Thus says the king, "Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come 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 Micaiah said, "If you return at all in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me." He said, "Listen, all you people."
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 and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.
Så drog Israels Konge og Kong Josafat af Juda op mod Ramot i Gilead.
30 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but you put on your robes." 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 Now the king of Aram had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel.
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 It happened, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, "Surely that is the king of Israel." and they turned aside to fight against him. 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 It happened, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
og da Vognstyrene opdagede, at det ikke var Israels konge, trak de sig bort fra ham.
34 A certain man drew his bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor. Therefore he said to the driver of his chariot, "Turn your hand, and carry me out of the battle; for I am severely 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 The battle increased that day. The king was propped up in his chariot facing the Arameans, and died at evening. The blood ran out of the wound into the bottom 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 A cry went throughout the army about the going down of the sun, saying, "Every man to his city, and every man to his country."
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 They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood where the prostitutes washed themselves; according to the word of the LORD which he spoke.
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 Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he built, and all the cities that he built, aren't they 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 Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
Så lagde Akab sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre; og hans Søn Ahazja blev Konge i hans Sted.
41 Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
Josafat, Asas Søn, blev Konge over Juda i Kong Akab af Israels fjerde Regeringsår.
42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
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 He walked in all the way of Asa his father; He did not turn aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD: however the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in 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 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 might that he showed, and how he warred, aren't they 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 The remnant of the male temple prostitutes, that remained in the days of his father Asa, 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 no king in Edom: a deputy was king.
På den Tid var der ingen Konge i Edom.
48 Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they did not go; for the ships were broken at Ezion 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 Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, "Let my servants go with your 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 Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father; Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
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 Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned two years over Israel.
Ahazja, Akabs Søn, blev Konge over Israel i Samaria i Kong Josafat af Judas syttende Regeringsår, og han herskede to År over Israel.
52 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, in which he made 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 He served Baal, and worshiped him, and provoked to anger the LORD, the God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
Han dyrkede Ba'al og tilbad ham og krænkede HERREN, Israels Gud, nøjagtigt som hans Fader havde gjort.
