1 Kings 22
1 They continued three years without war between Aram and Israel.
Og de sade stille tre Aar; der var ingen Krig imellem Syrerne og Israel.
2 It happened in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
Men det skete i det tredje Aar, da drog Josafat, Judas Konge, 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?"
Og Israels Konge sagde til sine Tjenere: Vide I, at Ramoth i Gilead hører os til? og vi tie stille om at tage den tilbage af Syriens Konges Haand!
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."
Derefter sagde han til Josafat: Vil du drage med mig til Krig imod Ramoth i Gilead? og Josafat sagde til Israels Konge: Jeg vil være som du, mit Folk skal være som dit Folk, mine Heste som dine Heste.
5 Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "Please inquire first for the word of the LORD."
Fremdeles sagde Josafat til Israels Konge: Kære, adspørg i Dag Herrens Ord!
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 samlede Israels Konge Profeterne, ved fire Hundrede Mænd, og sagde til dem: Skal jeg drage til Krig imod Ramoth i Gilead eller lade det være? og de sagde: Drag op, og Herren skal give den i Kongens Haand.
7 But Jehoshaphat said, "Isn't there here a prophet of the LORD, that we may inquire of him?"
Men Josafat sagde: Er her ikke endnu en Herrens Profet, at vi kunde spørge ham ad?
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."
Og Israels Konge sagde til Josafat: Her er endnu een Mand, ved hvem man kan adspørge Herren, men jeg hader ham, fordi han spaar ikke godt over mig, men ondt, det er Mika, Jimlas Søn; og Josafat sagde: Kongen sige ikke saa!
9 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, "Quickly get Micaiah the son of Imlah."
Da kaldte Israels Konge ad en af Kammertjenerne og sagde: Hent hurtigt 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.
Og Israels Konge og Josafat, Judas Konge, sade hver paa sin Trone, iførte Kongedragt, paa en fri Plads ved Indgangen til Samarias Port, og alle Profeterne spaaede for deres Ansigt.
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.'"
Og Zedekia, Knaanas Søn, havde gjort sig Jernhorn, og han sagde: Saaledes sagde Herren: Med disse skal du stange Syrerne, indtil de aldeles udryddes.
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 spaaede saaledes og sagde: Drag op imod Ramoth i Gilead og vær lykkelig, og Herren skal give den i Kongens Haand.
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."
Og Budet, som var gaaet bort for at kalde paa Mika, talte til ham sigende: Kære, se, Profeternes Ord ere som af een Mund gunstige for Kongen; kære, lad dit Ord være ligesom Ordet af en af dem og tal gunstigt!
14 Micaiah said, "As the LORD lives, what the LORD says to me, that I will speak."
Da sagde Mika: Saa vist som Herren lever, det som 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."
Og han kom til Kongen, og Kongen sagde til ham: Mika! skulle vi drage imod Ramoth i Gilead til Krig eller lade være? Og han sagde til ham: Drag op og vær lykkelig, og Herren skal give den i Kongens Haand.
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?"
Og Kongen sagde til ham: Hvor mange Gange skal jeg besværge dig, at du intet siger mig uden 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 saa al Israel adspredt paa Bjergene ligesom Faarene, der ingen Hyrde have; og Herren sagde: Disse have ingen Herre, lad dem vende tilbage hver til sit Hus med Fred!
18 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?"
Da sagde Israels Konge til Josafat: Har jeg ikke sagt dig: Han spaar mig ikke godt, men 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.
Og han sagde: Hør derfor Herrens Ord: Jeg saa Herren sidde paa sin Trone, og al Himmelens Hær staaende hos ham ved hans højre og ved hans venstre Side.
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: Hvo vil overtale Akab, at han skal drage op og falde ved Ramoth i Gilead? og den ene sagde saa, og den anden sagde saa.
21 A spirit came out and stood before the LORD, and said, 'I will entice him.'
Da gik en Aand ud og stod for Herrens Ansigt og sagde: Jeg vil overtale ham; og Herren sagde til ham: Hvormed?
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.'
Og han sagde: Jeg vil gaa ud og være en løgnagtig Aand i alle hans Profeters Mund; og han sagde: Du skal overtale ham, ja ogsaa formaa det; gak ud og gør saa!
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."
Og nu, se, Herren har givet en løgnagtig Aand i alle disse dine Profeters Mund; men Herren har talt ondt over dig.
24 Then Zedekiah the son of Kenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, "Which way did the Ruach of the LORD go from me to speak to you?"
Da gik Zedekia, Knaanas Søn, frem og slog Mika paa Kinden og sagde: Hvorledes? er Herrens Aand gaaet over fra mig for at tale med dig?
25 Micaiah said, "Look, you will see on that day, when you go into an inner room to hide yourself."
Og Mika sagde: Se, du skal se det paa den Dag, naar du gaar ind fra et Kammer til et andet 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.
Da sagde Israels Konge: Tag Mika og før ham tilbage til Amon, Stadens Befalingsmand, og til Joas, Kongens Søn.
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 du skal sige: Saa siger Kongen: Sætter denne i Fængsels Hus og bespiser ham med Trængsels Brød og Trængsels Vand, indtil jeg kommer med Fred.
28 Micaiah said, "If you return at all in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me." He said, "Listen, all you people."
Og Mika sagde: Dersom du kommer tilbage med Fred, da har Herren ikke talt ved mig; og han sagde: Hører, I Folk alle sammen!
29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.
Saa drog Israels Konge og Josafat, Judas Konge, op imod Ramoth 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 og saa gaa i Kampen, men tag du dine egne Klæder paa; og Israels Konge forklædte sig og gik i Slaget.
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 Kongen af Syrien bød sine to og tredive øverste for Vognene og sagde: I skulle ikke stride imod liden eller stor, uden imod 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.
Og det skete, der de øverste for Vognene saa Josafat, da sagde de: Han er visselig Israels Konge, og de bøjede af for at stride imod ham. Da raabte Josafat.
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 det skete, der de øverste for Vognene saa, at han ikke var Israels Konge, da vendte de tilbage 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."
Og en Mand spændte Buen paa Lykke og Fromme og skød Israels Konge mellem Remmene og Panseret; da sagde denne til sin Køresvend: Vend din Haand om og før mig ud af Hæren; thi jeg er saaret.
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.
Og Kampen tog til paa den samme Dag, og Kongen blev holdt staaende i Vognen over for Syrerne, og han døde om Aftenen, og Blodet flød af Saaret midt i Vognen.
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."
Og man udraabte igennem Lejren, der Solen gik ned, og sagde: Hver gaa til sin Stad og hver til sit Land!
37 So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
Saa døde Kongen og blev ført til Samaria, og de begrove Kongen i Samaria.
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 man skyllede Vognen ved Samarias Dam; og Hundene slikkede hans Blod, hvor Skøgerne badede sig, efter Herrens Ord, som han havde talt.
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?
Men det øvrige af Akabs Handeler, og alt det han gjorde, og om det Elfenbens Hus, som han byggede, og om alle Stæderne, som han byggede, er det ikke skrevet i Israels Kongers Krønikers Bog?
40 So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
Og Akab laa med sine Fædre, og Ahasia, hans Søn, 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.
Og Josafat, Asas Søn, blev Konge over Juda i Akabs, Israels Konges, fjerde Aar.
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 Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede fem og tyve Aar i Jerusalem, og hans Moders Navn var Asuba, Silhis Datter.
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.
Og han vandrede i alle sin Fader Asas Veje og veg ikke derfra, men gjorde det, som var ret for Herrens Øjne.
44 Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
Dog bleve Højene ikke borttagne; Folket ofrede endnu og gjorde Røgelse paa Højene.
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?
Og Josafat holdt Fred med Israels Konge.
46 The remnant of the male temple prostitutes, that remained in the days of his father Asa, he put away out of the land.
Men det øvrige af Josafats Handeler og hans Magt, hvilken han skaffede sig, og hvorledes han har stridt, er det ikke skrevet i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog?
47 There was no king in Edom: a deputy was king.
Og de øvrige af Skørlevnerne, som vare blevne tilbage fra Asas, hans Faders, Dage, borttog han af Landet.
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.
Og der var ingen Konge i Edom; men en Befalingsmand var Konge.
49 Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, "Let my servants go with your servants in the ships." But Jehoshaphat would not.
Og Josafat havde ti Tharsisskibe, som skulde drage til Ofir efter Guld; men de droge ikke derhen, thi Skibene bleve sønderslagne i Ezion-Geber.
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.
Da sagde Ahasia, Akabs Søn, til Josafat: Lad mine Tjenere fare med dine Tjenere paa Skibene; men Josafat vilde ikke.
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.
Og Josafat laa med sine Fædre og blev begraven med sine Fædre i Davids, sin Faders, Stad; og Joram, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.
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.
Ahasia, Akabs Søn, blev Konge over Israel i Samaria udi Josafats, Judas Konges, syttende Aar og var Konge over Israel to Aar.
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.
Og han gjorde det, som ondt var for Herrens Øjne, og vandrede i sin Faders Vej og i sin Moders Vej og i Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Vej, hans, som kom Israel tir at synde. Og han tjente Baal og tilbad ham og opirrede Herren, Israels Gud, alt ligesom hans Fader gjorde.
