< 2 Kings 9 >

1 Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, "Put your belt on your waist, take this vial of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilead.
Profeten Elisa kaldte en af Profetsønnerne til sig og sagde til ham: »Omgjord dine Lænder, tag denne Flaske Olie med og drag til Ramot i Gilead.
2 When you come there, find Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brothers, and carry him to an inner room.
Naar du kommer derhen, opsøg saa Jehu, Nimsjis Søn Josjafats Søn; gaa hen og faa ham til at staa op fra sine Fæller og før ham ind i det inderste Hammer;
3 Then take the vial of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, 'Thus says YHWH, "I have anointed you king over Israel."' Then open the door, flee, and do not wait."
tag saa Olieflasken og gyd Olien ud over hans Hoved med de Ord: Saa siger HERREN: Jeg salver dig til Konge over Israel! Derefter skal du lukke Døren op og flygte ufortøvet!«
4 So the young prophet went to Ramoth Gilead.
Den unge Mand, Profetens Tjener, drog saa til Ramot i Gilead;
5 When he came, look, the captains of the army were sitting. Then he said, "I have a message for you, captain." Jehu said, "To which of us all?" He said, "To you, O captain."
og da han kom derhen, traf han Hærførerne siddende sammen. Han sagde da: »Jeg har et Ærinde til dig, Hærfører!« Jehu spurgte: »Til hvem af os?« Han svarede: »Til dig, Hærfører!«
6 He arose, and went into the house. Then he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, "Thus says YHWH, the God of Israel, 'I have anointed you king over the people of YHWH, even over Israel.
Saa rejste han sig og gik ind i Huset; der gød han Olien ud over hans Hoved og sagde til ham: »Saa siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Jeg salver dig til Konge over HERRENS Folk, over Israel!
7 You shall strike the house of Ahab your master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of YHWH, at the hand of Jezebel.
Du skal hugge din Herre Akabs Hus ned, saa jeg faar Hævn over Jesabel for mine Tjenere Profeternes og alle HERRENS Tjeneres Blod.
8 For the whole house of Ahab shall perish. I will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, both him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.
Hele Akabs Hus skal omkomme, jeg vil udrydde hvert mandligt Væsen, hver og en af Akabs Slægt i Israel;
9 I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah.
jeg vil handle med Akabs Hus som med Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, og Ba'sjas, Ahijas Søns, Hus.
10 The dogs will eat Jezebel on the plot of ground of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her.'" He opened the door, and fled.
Og Jesabel skal Hundene æde paa Jizre'els Mark, og ingen skal jorde hende!« Derpaa lukkede han Døren op og flygtede.
11 Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said to him, "Is all well? Why did this mad fellow come to you?" He said to them, "You know the man and what his talk was."
Da Jehu kom ud til sin Herres Folk, spurgte de ham: »Hvorledes staar det til? Hvad vilde den gale Mand hos dig?« Han svarede: »I kender jo den Mand og hans Snak!«
12 They said, "That is a lie. Tell us now." He said, "He said to me, 'Thus says YHWH, I have anointed you king over Israel.'"
Men de sagde: »Udflugter! Sig os det nu!« Da sagde han: »Saaledes sagde han til mig: Saa siger HERREN: Jeg salver dig til Konge over Israel!«
13 Then they hurried, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew the trumpet, saying, "Jehu is king."
Øjeblikkelig tog de da hver sin Kappe og lagde under ham paa selve Trappen, og de stødte i Hornet og udraabte Jehu til Konge.
14 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram was keeping Ramoth Gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Aram;
Saaledes stiftede Jehu, Nimsjis Søn Josjafats Søn, en Sammensværgelse mod Joram. Joram havde med hele Israel forsvaret Ramot i Gilead mod Kong Hazael af Aram;
15 but king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Arameans had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Aram.) Jehu said, "If this is your thinking, then let no one escape and go out of the city, to go to tell it in Jezreel."
men Kong Joram var vendt tilbage for i Jizre'el at søge Helbredelse for de Saar, Aramæerne havde tilføjet ham, da han kæmpede med Kong Hazael af Aram. Da sagde Jehu: »Vil I som jeg, saa lad ikke en eneste slippe ud af Byen og bringe Bud til Jizre'el.«
16 So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram.
Derpaa steg Jehu til Vogns og kørte til Jizre'el; thi der laa Joram syg, og Kong Ahazja af Juda var rejst ned for at se til ham.
17 Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, "I see a company." Joram said, "Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, 'Is it peace?'"
Da Vægteren, som stod paa Taarnet i Jizre'el, saa Støvskyen efter Jehu, sagde han: »Jeg ser en Støvsky!« Da sagde Joram: »Tag en Rytter og send ham ud imod dem, for at han kan spørge, om de kommer med Fred!«
18 So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, "Thus says the king, 'Is it peace?'" Jehu said, "What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me." The watchman said, "The messenger came to them, but he isn't coming back."
Saa red Rytteren ham i Møde og sagde: »Saaledes siger Kongen: Kommer du med Fred?« Jehu svarede: »Hvad vedkommer det dig, om det er med Fred? Omkring, følg mig!« Vægteren meldte: »Sendebudet har naaet dem, men han kommer ikke tilbage!«
19 Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them, and said, "Thus says the king, 'Is it peace?'" Jehu answered, "What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me."
Saa sendte han en anden Rytter ud; og da han var kommet hen til dem, sagde han: »Saaledes siger Kongen: Kommer du med Fred?« Jehu svarede: »Hvad vedkommer det dig, om jeg kommer med Fred? Omkring, følg mig!«
20 The watchman said, "He came to them, and isn't coming back. The driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he drives furiously."
Vægteren meldte: »Han har naaet dem, men han kommet ikke tilbage. Og de har en Fart paa, som var det Jehu, Nimsjis Søn, thi han farer af Sted som rasende.«
21 Joram said, "Get ready." They got his chariot ready. Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.
Da sagde Joram: »Spænd for!« Og da der var spændt for, kørte Kong Joram af Israel og Kong Ahazja af Juda ud hver i sin Vogn. De kørte Jehu i Møde og traf ham ved Jizre'eliten Nabots Mark.
22 It happened, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, "Is it peace, Jehu?" He answered, "What peace, so long as the prostitution of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft abound?"
Da Joram fik Øje paa Jehu, spurgte han: »Kommer du med Fred, Jehu?« Men han svarede: »Hvad! Skulde jeg komme med Fred, saa længe det ikke har Ende med din Moder Jesabels Bolen og hendes mange Trolddomskunster!«
23 Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, "There is treason, Ahaziah."
Da drejede Joram omkring og flygtede, idet han raabte til Ahazja: »Svig, Ahazja!«
24 Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and shot Joram between his arms; and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.
Men Jehu greb sin Bue og skød Joram i Ryggen, saa at Pilen gik igennem Hjertet, og han sank sammen i Vognen;
25 Then Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, "Pick him up, and throw him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for I remember how when you and I rode together behind Ahab his father, YHWH pronounced this judgment on him:
og Jehu sagde til sin Høvedsmand Bidkar: »Tag og kast ham hen paa Jizre'eliten Nabots Mark, thi det rinder mig i Hu, hvorledes jeg og du kørte sammen bag efter hans Fader Akab, dengang HERREN fremsatte dette Udsagn imod ham:
26 'Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons,' says YHWH; 'and I will repay you in this plot of ground,' says YHWH. Now therefore take and cast him onto the plot of ground, according to the word of YHWH."
Sandelig, Nabots og hans Sønners Blod saa jeg i Gaar, lyder det fra HERREN, og jeg bringer Gengældelse over dig her paa denne Mark, lyder det fra HERREN! Tag derfor og kast ham hen paa Marken efter HERRENS Ord!«
27 But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. Jehu followed after him, and said, "Shoot him also." And they shot him in the chariot at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. He fled to Megiddo, and died there.
Da Kong Ahazja at Juda saa det, flygtede han ad Vejen til Bet-Hagan; men Jehu satte efter ham og raabte: »Ogsaa ham!« Og i Gurpasset, i Nærheden af Jibleam, skød de ham ned i Vognen. Han undslap til Megiddo, men der døde han.
28 His servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the City of David.
Hans Folk førte ham til Jerusalem og jordede ham i hans Grav hos hans Fædre i Davidsbyen.
29 In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah.
I Akabs Søn Jorams ellevte Regeringsaar blev Ahazja Konge over Juda.
30 When Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and attired her head, and looked out at the window.
Jehu kom nu til Jizre'el. Saa snart Jesabel hørte det, sminkede hun sine Øjne og smykkede sit Hoved og bøjede sig ud af Vinduet;
31 As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, "Do you come in peace, Zimri, you murderer of your master?"
og da Jehu kørte ind igennem Porten, raabte hun: »Kommer du med Fred, Zimri Kongemorder?«
32 He lifted up his face to the window, and said, "Who is on my side? Who?" Two or three eunuchs looked out at him.
Men han saa op til Vinduet og sagde: »Hvem holder med mig? Hvem?« Saa var der et Par Hofmænd, som saa ud efter ham,
33 He said, "Throw her down." So they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses. Then he trampled her under foot.
og han raabte: »Styrt hende ned!« Saa styrtede de hende ned, og Blodet sprøjtede op paa Muren og paa Hestene, og de traadte hende ned.
34 When he had come in, he ate and drink; and he said, "See now to this cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king's daughter."
Derpaa gik han ind og spiste og drak. Saa sagde han: »Tag jer af hende, den forbandede, og jord hende, hun var jo dog en Kongedatter!«
35 They went to bury her; but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.
Men da de gik ud for at jorde hende, fandt de ikke andet af hende end Hjerneskallen, Fødderne og Hænderne.
36 Therefore they came back, and told him. He said, "This is the word of YHWH, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 'The dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel on the plot of Jezreel,
Og de kom tilbage og meldte ham det; da sagde han: »Det er det Ord, HERREN talede ved sin Tjener Tisjbiten Elias: Paa Jizre'els Mark skal Hundene æde Jesabels Legeme!
37 and the body of Jezebel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, so that they shall not say, "This is Jezebel."'"
og Jesabels Lig skal blive som Gødning paa Ageren paa Jizre'els Mark, saa ingen kan sige: Dette er Jesabel!«
