2 Kongebok 13
1 I det tri og tjugande styringsåret åt Juda-kongen Joas Ahazjason vart Joahaz Jehuson konge yver Israel i Samaria, og han styrde i syttan år.
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, and reigned seventeen years.
2 Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo; han dreiv på med same synderne som Jerobeam Nebatsson, som han hadde forført Israel til; deim gav han ikkje upp.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not from it.
3 Herren vart brennande harm på Israel; han gav deim i henderne på syrarkongen Hazael og Benhadad Hazaelsson, heile hans stryringstid.
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, all their days.
4 Joahaz freista å blidka Herren, og Herren bønhøyrde honom, av di han såg den naudi syrarkongen førde Israel upp i.
And Jehoahaz besought the LORD, and the LORD hearkened unto him: for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them.
5 Herren gav då Israel ein frelsar, so dei slapp ut or syrarveldet, og Israels-borni fekk bu i hyttorne sine som fyrr.
(And the LORD gave Israel a saviour, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as in time past.
6 Like vel gav dei ikkje upp dei synderne som Jerobeams hus hadde forført Israel til; dei dreiv på sameleis; jamvel Astarte-bilætet fekk standa i fred i Samaria.
Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who made Israel sin, but walked therein: and there remained the grove also in Samaria.)
7 Hazael hadde ikkje leivt meir folk åt Joahaz enn femti hestfolk, ti vogner, og ti tusund mann fotfolk. So ille hadde syrarkongen øydt deim ut, knasa deim som gov ved treskjingi.
Neither did he leave of the people to Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust by threshing.
8 Det som elles er å fortelja um Joahaz, um alt det han gjorde og um hans storverk, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
9 Joahaz lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine og vart gravlagd i Samaria. Joas, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his position.
10 I det sju og trettiande styringsåret åt Joas, kongen i Juda, vart Joas Joahazson konge yver Israel, og han rådde i Samaria i sekstan år.
In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned sixteen years.
11 Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo. Han gav ikkje upp nokor av dei synderne som Jerobeam Nebatsson hadde forført Israel til; han dreiv på sameleis.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin: but he walked therein.
12 Det som elles er å fortelja um Joas, um alt det han gjorde og um hans storverk, soleis um krigen han førde mot Amasja, kongen i Juda, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.
And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
13 Joas lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine, og Jerobeam steig upp i kongsstolen hans. Joas vart gravlagd i Samaria saman med Israels-kongarne.
And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat upon his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
14 Då Elisa hadde fenge helsotti, gjekk Joas, kongen i Israel, ned til honom. Han bøygde seg yver honom, gret og ropa: «Far, far! du Israels vogner og ridarar!»
Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.
15 Elisa sagde med honom: «Henta ein boge og piler!» Han henta deim til honom.
And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows.
16 Baud han so Israels-kongen: «Legg handi di på bogen!» Han so gjorde, og Elisa lagde sine hender på kongens hender.
And he said to the king of Israel, Put your hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands.
17 So sagde han: «Lat upp vindauga mot aust!» Då han det hadde gjort, sagde Elisa: «Skjot!» Og han skaut. Då sagde han: «Ei sigers-pil frå Herren! ei sigers-pil mot syrarane! Du skal slå syrarane i Afek og tyna deim heilt.»
And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the LORD's deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for you shall strike the Syrians in Aphek, till you have consumed them.
18 So sagde han: «Tak pilerne!» Då Israels-kongen hadde teke deim, sagde han til honom: «Slå på jordi!» Han slo tri gonger, og so slutta han.
And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Strike upon the ground. And he stroke three times, and stayed.
19 Då vart gudsmannen harm på honom. «Du skulde ha slege fem eller seks gonger, » sagde han; «so vilde du ha tynt syrarane heilt; no kjem du til å slå syrarane tri gonger.»
And the man of God was angry with him, and said, You should have smitten five or six times; then had you smitten Syria till you had consumed it: whereas now you shall strike Syria but three times.
20 Elisa døydde og vart gravlagd. Moabitarflokkar gjorde jamt røvarferder i landet ved nyårsbil.
And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
21 No hende det just som dei skulde jorda ein mann, at dei fekk sjå ein røvarflokk; so kasta dei mannen i Elisas grav. Og då mannen datt ned og kom innpå beini åt Elisa, so vart han livande att og reis upp på føterne.
And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the tomb of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.
22 Syrarkongen Hazael heldt Israel i trælldom so lenge Joahaz livde.
But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
23 Men Herren miskunna deim og ynkast yver deim, og vende seg til deim for den pakt skuld som han hadde gjort med Abraham, Isak og Jakob; han vilde ikkje øyda deim ut og hadde ikkje endå kasta deim burt frå seg.
And the LORD was gracious unto them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.
24 Syrarkongen Hazael døydde, og Benhadad, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
So Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his position.
25 Då tok Joas Joahazson att frå Benhadad Hazaelsson dei byarne som han hadde teke frå Joahaz, far hans. Tri gonger slo Joas deim, og tok soleis att Israels byar.
And 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. Three times did Joash beat him, and recovered the cities of Israel.
