2 Kongebok 8
1 Elisa sagde med mor åt den guten han hadde gjort livande: «Ferda deg til, og far burt, du og huslyden din, og set bu kvar helst det buande er! for Herren hev sendt bod etter hungersnaudi, ho er alt komi og skal vara sju år.»
Now Elisha spoke to the woman, whose son he had caused to live, saying: “Rise up. Go, you and your household, and sojourn in whatever place you can find. For the Lord has called forth a famine, and it shall overwhelm the land for seven years.”
2 Kona ferda seg til, og gjorde som gudsmannen sagde. Ho og huslyden hennar for ut, og sette bu i Filistarlandet i sju år.
And she rose up, and she acted in accord with the word of the man of God. And going with her household, she sojourned in the land of the Philistines for many days.
3 Då dei sju åri var lidne, kom ho attende frå Filistarlandet. Og gav seg i veg til kongen til å beda um å få att heimen og jordeigedomen sin.
And when the seven years had ended, the woman returned from the land of the Philistines. And she departed, so that she might petition the king on behalf of her house and on behalf of her fields.
4 Kongen heldt just på å tala med Gehazi, drengen åt gudsmannen, og bad honom fortelja um alle dei storverki Elisa hadde gjort.
Now the king was speaking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, “Describe for me all the great deeds that Elisha has done.”
5 Medan han heldt på og fortalde kongen korleis han gjorde den daude guten livande, nett i det same kom mor åt den guten og bad kongen um heimen og jordeigedomen sin. «Herre konge!» sagde Gehazi, «der er kona; og der er son hennar, som Elisa gjorde livande.»
And as he was describing for the king the manner in which he had raised the dead, the woman appeared, whose son he had restored to life, crying out to the king on behalf of her house and on behalf of her fields. And Gehazi said, “My lord the king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha raised up.”
6 Kongen spurde kona ut, og ho fortalde. So let kongen henne få ein av hirdmennerne med seg og baud honom: «Hjelp henne til å få att alt som høyrer henne til, og all avlingi av eigedomen frå den dagen ho for frå landet og til no!»
And the king questioned the woman. And she explained it to him. And the king appointed a eunuch to her, saying, “Restore to her all that is hers, with all the proceeds of the fields, from the day that she left the land until the present.”
7 Elisa kom til Damaskus, medan syrarkongen Benhadad låg sjuk. Då kongen spurde at gudsmannen var komen dit,
Also, Elisha arrived in Damascus, and Benhadad, the king of Syria, was ill. And they reported to him, saying, “The man of God has arrived here.”
8 sagde han med Hazael: «Tak med deg gåvor, gakk til møtes med gudsmannen og spør Herren gjenom honom um eg skal koma meg av denne sjukdomen.»
And the king said to Hazael: “Take with you gifts. And go to meet the man of God. And consult the Lord through him, saying: ‘Will I be able to escape from this, my infirmity?’”
9 Hazael so gjorde, tok med seg gåvor, alt det likaste som i Damaskus var, so mykje som fyrti kamelar kunde bera. Han gjekk fram for Elisa og sagde: «Son din, syrarkongen Benhadad, sender meg til deg og spør um han skal koma seg av denne sjukdomen.»
And so, Hazael went to meet him, having with him gifts, and all the goods of Damascus, the burdens of forty camels. And when he had stood before him, he said: “Your son, Benhadad, the king of Syria, sent me to you, saying: ‘Will I be able to be healed from this, my infirmity?’”
10 Elisa svara honom: «Du kann segja med honom at han skal koma seg. Men Herren syner meg at han skal døy.»
And Elisha said to him: “Go, tell him: ‘You will be healed.’ But the Lord has revealed to me that, dying he shall die.”
11 Medan han stod framfyre honom og nistirde, sette gudsmannen i og gret.
And he stood beside him, and he was so troubled that his face became flushed. And the man of God wept.
12 «Kvifor græt du, herre?» spurde Hazael. «For di eg veit kor mykje ilt du vil gjera mot Israels-borni, » svara han; «dei faste byarne set du eld på, unggutarne deira myrder du med sverd, småborni krasar du, og barnkonorne skjer du upp.»
And Hazael said to him, “Why is my lord weeping?” And he said: “Because I know the evil that you will do to the sons of Israel. Their fortified cities you will burn with fire. And their young men you will kill with the sword. And you will destroy their little ones, and tear open the pregnant women.”
13 Hazael sagde: «Korleis kann vel tenaren din, slik ein hund som eg er, gjera sovorne storverk?» Elisa svara: «Herren hev synt meg at du vert konge yver Syria.»
And Hazael said, “But what am I, your servant, a dog, that I would do this great thing?” And Elisha said, “The Lord has revealed to me that you will be the king of Syria.”
14 Han gjekk då frå Elisa heim att til herren sin. «Kva sagde Elisa med deg?» spurde han. «Han sagde med meg at du skal verta god att.»
And when he had departed from Elisha, he went to his lord, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” And he responded: “He said to me, ‘You shall receive health.’”
15 Men so dagen etter tok han eit åklæde, duppa det i vatn og breidde det yver andlitet hans; det vart banen hans. Og Hazael vart konge etter honom.
And when the next day had arrived, he took a small covering, and poured water on it, and he spread it over his face. And when he died, Hazael reigned in his place.
16 I femte styringsåret åt Israels-kongen Joram Ahabssons, medan Josafat var konge i Juda, vart Joram Josafatsson konge i Jerusalem.
In the fifth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel, and of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah: Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, reigned as the king of Judah.
17 Tvo og tretti år gamall var han då han vart konge, og åtte år var han konge i Jerusalem.
He was thirty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem.
18 Han for fram liksom Israels-kongarne og Ahabs hus; for han var gift med ei dotter til Ahab. Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo.
And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had walked. For the daughter of Ahab was his wife. And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord.
19 Men Herren vilde ikkje tyna Juda for sin tenar David skuld, etter di han hadde lova honom at det alle dagar skulde lysa ei lampa for honom og sønerne hans.
But the Lord was not willing to destroy Judah, because of David, his servant, just as he had promised him, so that he might grant a light to him and to his sons, for all days.
20 I hans tid reiv edomitarne seg laus frå Juda og kåra seg ein konge.
In his days, Idumea drew apart, so as not to be under Judah, and they appointed a king for themselves.
21 Då drog Joram av til Sa’ir med alle stridsvognerne sine. Og han tok um natti og slo edomitarne som kringsette honom, og hovudsmennerne yver vognerne, og herfolket flydde heim.
And so, Jehoram went to Zair, and all the chariots with him. And he rose up in the night, and he struck down the Idumeans who had surrounded him, and the leaders of the chariots. But the people fled to their tents.
22 So kom edomitarne seg laus frå Juda, og er frie den dag i dag. Nett samstundes reiv Libna seg og laus.
And Idumea drew apart, so as not to be under Judah, even to this day. Then Libnah also drew apart, at the same time.
23 Det som elles er å fortelja um Joram og alt det han gjorde, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Juda-kongarne.
Now the rest of the words of Jehoram, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
24 Joram lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine og vart gravlagd hjå federne sine, i Davidsbyen. Ahazja, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
And Jehoram slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David. And Ahaziah, his son, reigned in his place.
25 I det tolvte året åt Israels-kongen Joram Ahabsson vart Ahazja Joramsson konge i Juda.
In the twelfth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel: Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, reigned.
26 Tvo og tjuge år gamall var Ahazja då han vart konge; eitt år var han konge i Jerusalem. Mor hans heitte Atalja, dotter åt Israels-kongen Omri.
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri, the king of Israel.
27 Han gjekk i fotefari åt Ahabs hus, og gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, etter gjerdi åt Ahabs hus; for han stod i skyldskap til Ahabs hus.
And he walked in the ways of the house of Ahab. And he did what is evil before the Lord, just as the house of Ahab did. For he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
28 Saman med Joram Ahabsson for han i herferd mot syrarkongen Hazael ved Ramot i Gilead. Men Joram vart såra av syrarane.
Also, he went with Joram, the son of Ahab, in order to fight against Hazael, the king of Syria, at Ramoth Gilead. And the Syrians had wounded Joram.
29 Kong Joram vende då attende til Jizre’el, og vilde få lækt dei såri han hadde fenge av syrarane, i slaget ved Rama mot syrarkongen Hazael. Og Juda-kongen Ahazja Joramsson drog ned og vilde sjå um Joram Ahabsson i Jizre’el, etter di han låg sjuk.
And he turned back, so that he might be cured at Jezreel. For the Syrians had wounded him at Ramoth, fighting against Hazael, the king of Syria. Then Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, descended to visit Joram, the son of Ahab, at Jezreel, because he was sick there.
