2 Kings 13
1 In the twenty-third year of Joash son of Ahaziah king of Judah, Jehoahaz son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria; he reigned 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 what was evil in the sight of Yahweh and followed the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin; and Jehoahaz did not turn away from them.
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 Yahweh burned against Israel, and he gave them continually into the hand of Hazael king of Aram and into the hand of Ben Hadad son of Hazael.
Da blussede HERRENs Vrede op mod Israel, og han gav dem til Stadighed i Kong Hazael af Arams og hans Søn Benhadads Hånd.
4 So Jehoahaz implored Yahweh, and Yahweh listened to him because he saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Aram was oppressing them.
Men Joahaz bad HERREN om Nåde, og HERREN bønhørte ham, fordi han så Israels Trængsel; thi Arams Konge bragte Trængsel over dem;
5 So Yahweh gave Israel a rescuer, and they escaped from the hand of the Arameans, and the people of Israel began to live in their homes as they had 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, who caused Israel to sin, and they continued in them; and the Asherah pole 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 The Arameans left Jehoahaz with only fifty horsemen, ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen, for the king of Aram had destroyed them and made them like the chaff at threshing time.
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 As for the other matters concerning Jehoahaz, and all that he did and his power, are they not written in the book of the events 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 So Jehoahaz slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in Samaria. Johoash his son became king 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, the reign of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz began over Israel in Samaria; he reigned 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 what was evil in the sight of Yahweh. He did not leave behind any of the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, by which he had made Israel to sin, but he walked in them.
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 As for the other matters concerning Jehoash, and all that he did, and his might by which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the events 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 Jehoash slept with his ancestors, and Jeroboam sat on his throne. Jehoash 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 became sick with an illness by which he later died, so Jehoash the king of Israel came down to him and wept over him. He said, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and the horsemen are taking you away!”
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, “Pick up a bow and some arrows,” so Joash picked up a bow and some arrows.
Men Elisa sagde til ham: "bring Bue og Pile!" Og han bragte ham Bue og Pile.
16 Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow,” so he put his hand on it. Then 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 Elisha said, “Open the window eastward,” so he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!”, and he shot. Elisha said, “This is Yahweh's arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram, for you will attack 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 Then Elisha said, “Take the arrows,” so Joash took them. He said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground with them,” and he struck the ground three times, then 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 But the man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have hit the ground five or six times. Then you would have attacked Aram until you annihilated it, but now you will attack Aram only 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 Then Elisha died, and they buried him. Now groups of Moabites invaded the land at the beginning of the year.
Så døde Elisa, og de jordede ham. År efter År trængte moabitiske Strejfskarer ind i Landet;
21 As they were burying a certain man, they saw a group of Moabites, so they threw the body into Elisha's grave. As soon as the man touched Elisha's bones, 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 Yahweh was gracious to Israel, and had compassion on them and concern for them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. So Yahweh did not destroy them, and he still has not driven them away from his presence.
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 Ben Hadad his son became king in his place.
Men da Kong Hazael af Aram døde, og hans Søn Benhadad blev Konge i hans Sted,
25 Jehoash son of Jehoahaz took back from Ben Hadad son of Hazael the cities that had been taken from Jehoahaz his father by war. Jehoash attacked him three times, and he recovered those 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.
