< 2 Kings 13 >
1 In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria for seventeen years.
I Ahazjas Søns, Kong Joas af Judas, tre og tyvende Regeringsår blev Joahaz, Jehus Søn, Konge over Israel, og han herskede sytten År i Samaria.
2 He did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; he did not depart from it.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRNs Øjne, og vandrede i de Synder, Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, havde forledt Israel til; fra dem veg han ikke.
3 The anger of YHWH was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Aram, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, continually.
Da blussede HERRENs Vrede op mod Israel, og han gav dem til Stadighed i Kong Hazael af Arams og hans Søn Benhadads Hånd.
4 Jehoahaz begged YHWH, and YHWH listened to him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how that the king of Aram oppressed them.
Men Joahaz bad HERREN om Nåde, og HERREN bønhørte ham, fordi han så Israels Trængsel; thi Arams Konge bragte Trængsel over dem;
5 (YHWH gave Israel a savior, so that they went out from under the hand of the Arameans; and the children of Israel lived in their tents as before.
og HERREN gav Israel en Befrier, som friede dem af Arams Hånd; så boede Israeliterne i deres Telte som før.
6 Nevertheless they did not depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin; they walked in them. And the Asherah also remained in Samaria.)
Dog veg de ikke fra de Synder, Jeroboams Hus havde forledt Israel til, men vandrede i dem; også Asjerastøtten blev stående i Samaria.
7 For he did not leave to Jehoahaz of the people any more than fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Aram destroyed them, and made them like the dust in threshing.
Thi Arams Konge levnede, ikke Joahaz flere Krigsfolk end halvtredsindstyve Ryttere, ti Stridsvogne og ti Tusinde Mand Fodfolk, men han tilintetgjorde dem og knuste dem til Støv.
8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Joahaz, alt, hvad han udførte, og hans Heltegerninger står jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.
9 Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his place.
Så lagde Joahaz sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og man jordede ham i Samaria; og hans Søn Joas blev Konge i hans Sted.
10 In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria for sixteen years.
I Kong Joas af Judas syv og tredivte Regeringsår blev Joas. Joahaz's Søn, konge over Israel, og han herskede seksten År i Samaria.
11 He did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH; he did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; but he walked in it.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, og veg ikke fra nogen af de Synder, Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, havde forledt Israel til, men vandrede i dem.
12 Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Joas, alt, hvad han udførte, og hans Heltegerninger, hvorledes han førte Krig med Kong Amazja af Juda, står jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.
13 Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat on his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
Så lagde Joas sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre; og Jeroboam satte sig på hans Trone. Joas blev jordet i Samaria hos Israels Konger.
14 Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness of which he died: and Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over him, and said, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen."
Da Elisa blev ramt af den Sygdom, han døde af, kom Kong Joas af Israel ned til ham, bøjede sig grædende over ham og sagde: "Min Fader, min Fader, du Israels Vogne. og Ryttere!"
15 Elisha said to him, "Take bow and arrows"; and he took to him bow and arrows.
Men Elisa sagde til ham: "bring Bue og Pile!" Og han bragte ham Bue og Pile.
16 He said to the king of Israel, "Put your hand on the bow"; and he put his hand on it. Elisha laid his hands on the king's hands.
Da sagde han til Israels Konge: "Læg din Hånd på Buen!" Og da han gjorde det, lagde Elisa sine Hænder på Kongens
17 He said, "Open the window eastward"; and he opened it. Then Elisha said, "Shoot." and he shot. He said, "YHWH's arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Aram; for you shall strike the Arameans in Aphek, until you have consumed them."
og sagde: "Luk Vinduet op mod Øst!" Og da han havde gjort det, sagde Elisa: "Skyd!" Og han skød. Da sagde Elisa: "En Sejrspil fra HERREN, en Sejrspil mod Aram! Du skal tilføje Aram et afgørende Nederlag ved Afek!"
18 He said, "Take the arrows"; and he took them. He said to the king of Israel, "Strike the ground"; and he struck three times, and stopped.
Derpå sagde han: "Tag Pilene!" Og han tog dem. Da sagde han til Israels Konge: "Slå på Jorden!" Og han slog tre Gange, men holdt så op.
19 The man of God was angry with him, and said, "You should have struck five or six times. Then you would have struck Aram until you had consumed it, whereas now you shall strike Aram just three times."
Da vrededes den Guds Mand på ham og sagde: "Du burde have slået fem-seks Gange, så skulde du have tilføjet Aram et afgørende Nederlag, men nu skal du kun slå Aram tre Gange!"
20 Elisha died, and they buried him. Now the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
Så døde Elisa, og de jordede ham. År efter År trængte moabitiske Strejfskarer ind i Landet;
21 It happened, as they were burying a man, that look, they spied a band; and they cast the man into the tomb of Elisha: and as soon as the man touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.
og da nogle Israeliter engang fik Øje på en sådan Skare, netop som de var ved at jorde en Mand, kastede de Manden i Elisas Grav og løb deres Vej. Men da Manden kom i Berøring med Elisas Ben, blev han levende og rejste sig op.
22 Hazael king of Aram oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
Kong Hazael af Aram trængle Israel hårdt, så længe Joabaz levede.
23 But YHWH was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and had respect to them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.
Men HERREN forbarmede sig og ynkedes over dem og vendte sig til dem på Grund af sin Pagt med Abraham, Isak og Jakob; han vilde ikke tilintetgøre dem og havde endnu ikke stødt dem bort fra sit Åsyn.
24 Hazael king of Aram died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his place.
Men da Kong Hazael af Aram døde, og hans Søn Benhadad blev Konge i hans Sted,
25 Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Joash struck him three times, and recovered the cities of Israel.
tog Joas, Joahaz's Søn, de Byer tilbage fra Benhadad, Hazaels Søn, som han i Krigen havde frataget hans Fader Joahaz. Tre Gange slog Joas ham og tog de israelitiske Byer tilbage.
