2 Kings 8
1 Now Elisha had spoken to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, “Arise, and go, you and your household, and stay for a while wherever you can; for the LORD has called for a famine. It will also come on the land for seven years.”
Elisa talte til den Kvinde, hvis Søn han havde kaldt til Live, og sagde: "Drag bort med dit Hus og slå dig ned som fremmed et eller andet Sted, thi HERREN har kaldt Hungersnøden hid; og den vil komme over Landet og vare syv År!"
2 The woman arose, and did according to the man of God’s word. She went with her household, and lived in the land of the Philistines for seven years.
Da brød Kvinden op og gjorde, som den Guds Mand havde sagt, og drog med sit Hus hen og boede syv År som fremmed i Filisternes Land.
3 At the end of seven years, the woman returned from the land of the Philistines. Then she went out to beg the king for her house and for her land.
Men da der var gået syv År, vendte Kvinden tilbage fra Filisternes Land; Og hun gik hen og påkaldte Kongens Hjælp til at få sit Hus og sin Jord tilbage.
4 Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, “Please tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.”
Kongen talte just med den Guds Mands Tjener Gehazi og sagde: "Fortæl mig om alle de storeGerninger, Elisa harudført!"
5 As he was telling the king how he had restored to life him who was dead, behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life begged the king for her house and for her land. Gehazi said, “My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.”
Og netop som han fortalte Kongen, hvorledes han havde kaldt den døde til Live, kom Kvinden, hvis Søn han havde kaldt til Live, og påkaldt Kongens Hjælp til at få sit Hus og sin Jord tilbage. Da sagde Gehazi: "Herre Konge, der er den Kvinde, og der er hendes Søn. som Elisa kaldte til Live!"
6 When the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her a certain officer, saying, “Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.”
Kongen spurgte så Kvinden ud, og hun forfalte. Derpå gav Kongen hende en Hofmand med og sagde: "Sørg for, at hun får al sin Ejendom tilbage og alt, hvad hendes Jord har båret, siden den Dag hun forlod Landet!"
7 Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick. He was told, “The man of God has come here.”
Siden begav Elisa sig til Damaskus, hvor Kong Benbadad af Aram lå syg. Da Kongen fik at vide, at den Guds Mand var på Vej derhen,
8 The king said to Hazael, “Take a present in your hand, and go meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”
sagde han til Hazael: "Tag en Gave med, gå den Guds Mand i Møde og rådspørg HERREN gennem ham, om jeg kommer mig af min Sygdom!"
9 So Hazael went to meet him and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden, and came and stood before him and said, “Your son Benhadad king of Syria has sent me to you, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”
Da gik Hazael ham i Møde; han tog en Gave med af alskens Kostbarheder, som fandfes i Damaskus, fyrretyve Kamelladninger, og trådte frem for ham og sagde: "Din Søn Benhadad, Arams Konge sender mig til dig og lader spørge: Kommer jeg mig af min Sygdom?"
10 Elisha said to him, “Go, tell him, ‘You will surely recover;’ however the LORD has shown me that he will surely die.”
Elisa svarede: "Gå hen og sig ham: Du kommer dig!" Men HERREN har ladet mig skue, at han skal dø!"
11 He settled his gaze steadfastly on him, until he was ashamed. Then the man of God wept.
Og han stirrede stift frem for sig og var ude af sig selv af Rædsel. Så brast den Guds Mand i Gråd,
12 Hazael said, “Why do you weep, my lord?” He answered, “Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel. You will set their strongholds on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword, and will dash their little ones in pieces, and rip up their pregnant women.”
og Hazael sagde: "Hvorfor græder min Herre?" Han svarede: "Fordi jeg ved, hvilke Ulykkkr du skal bringe over Israeliterne! Deres Fæstninger skal du stikke i Brand, deres unge Mænd skal du hugge ned med Sværdet, deres spæde Børn skal du knuse, og på deres frugtsommelige Kvinder skal du rive Livet op!"
13 Hazael said, “But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he could do this great thing?” Elisha answered, “The LORD has shown me that you will be king over Syria.”
Da sagde Hazael: "Hvad er din Træl, den Hund, at han skal kunne gøre slige store Ting!" Elisa svarede: "HERREN har ladet mig skue dig som Konge over Aram!"
14 Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” He answered, “He told me that you would surely recover.”
Derpå forlod han Elisa og kom til sin Herre; og han spurgte ham: "Hvad sagde Elisa til dig?" Han svarede: "Han sagde: Du kommer dig!"
15 On the next day, he took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it on the king’s face, so that he died. Then Hazael reigned in his place.
Men næste Dag tog han et Klæde, dyppede det i Vand og bredte det over Ansigtet på Kongen, og det blev hans Død. Og Hazael blev Konge i hans Sted.
16 In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being king of Judah then, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.
I Akabs Søns, Kong Joram af Israels, femte Regeringsår blev Joram, Josafats Søn, Konge over Juda.
17 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign. He reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
Han var to og tredive År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede otte År i Jerusalem.
18 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house, for he married Ahab’s daughter. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.
Han vandrede i Israels Kongers Spor ligesom Akabs Hus, thi han havde en Datter af Akab til Hustru, og han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne.
19 However, the LORD would not destroy Judah, for David his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give to him a lamp for his children always.
Dog vilde HERREN ikke tilintetgøre Juda for sin Tjener Davids Skyld efter det Løfte, han havde givet ham, at han altid skulde have en Lampe for hans Åsyn.
20 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
I hans Dage rev Edomiterne sig løs fra Judas Overherredømme og valgte sig en Konge.
21 Then Joram crossed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him; and he rose up by night and struck the Edomites who surrounded him with the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.
Da drog Joram over til Za'ir med alle sine Stridsvogne. Og han stod op om Natten, og sammen med Vognstyrerne slog han sig igennem Edoms Rækker, der havde omringet ham, hvorpå Folket flygtede tilbage hver til sit.
22 So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
Således rev Edom sig løs fra Judas Overherredømme, og således er det den Dag i Dag. På samme Tid rev også Libna sig løs.
23 The rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Joram, alt, hvad han udførte, står optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.
24 Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
Så lagde Joram sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet hos sine Fædre i Davidsbyen; og hans Søn Ahazja blev Konge i hans Sted.
25 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.
I Akabs Søns, Kong Joram af Israels, tolvte Regeringsår blev Ahazja, Jorams Søn, Konge over Juda.
26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
Ahazja var to og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede eet År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Atalja og var Datter af Kong Omri af Israel.
27 He walked in the way of Ahab’s house and did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as did Ahab’s house, for he was the son-in-law of Ahab’s house.
Han vandrede i Akabs Hus's Spor og gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, ligesom Akabs Hus, thi han var besvogret med Akabs Hus.
28 He went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead, and the Syrians wounded Joram.
Sammen med Joram, Akabs Søn, drog han i Krig mod Kong Hazael af Aram ved Ramot i Gilead. Men Aramæerne sårede Joram.
29 King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel from the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
Så vendte Kong Joram tilbage for i Jizre'el at søge Helbredelse for de Sår, Aramæerne havde tilføjet ham ved Ramot, da han kæmpede med Kong Hazael af Aram; og Jorams Søn, Kong Ahazja af Juda, drog ned for at se til Joram, Akabs Søn, i Jizre'el, fordi han lå syg.
