2 Kings 9
1 And Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this vial of oil in thine 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 And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber.
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 saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not.
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 man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead.
Den unge Mand, Profetens Tjener, drog saa til Ramot i Gilead;
5 And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, 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 And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the LORD, 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 And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, 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: and I will cut off from Ahab every man child, and him that is shut up and him that 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 And 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 And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And 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 unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? And he said unto them, Ye 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 And they said, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee 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 hasted, 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 kept Ramoth-gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria:
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 Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If this be your mind, then let none escape and go forth 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. And Ahaziah king of Judah was 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 stood on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take an 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 saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he cometh not again.
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, which came to them, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee 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 And the watchman told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not again: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth 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 And Joram said, Make ready. And they made ready his chariot. And 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 And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?
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 And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah.
Da drejede Joram omkring og flygtede, idet han raabte til Ahazja: »Svig, Ahazja!«
24 And Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and smote 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 said [Jehu] to Bidkar his captain, Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for remember how that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden upon 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, saith the LORD; and I will requite thee in this plat, saith the LORD. Now therefore take and cast him into the plat [of ground], according to the word of the LORD.
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. An Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot: [and they smote him] at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. And 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 And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre 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 And 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 And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and tired 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 And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Is it peace, thou Zimri, thy master’s murderer?
og da Jehu kørte ind igennem Porten, raabte hun: »Kommer du med Fred, Zimri Kongemorder?«
32 And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs.
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 And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode 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 And when he was come in, he did eat 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 And 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 Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall the dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel:
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 carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon 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!«
