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 twenty-third year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria for 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.
He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. He didn’t depart from it.
3 Herren vart brennande harm på Israel; han gav deim i henderne på syrarkongen Hazael og Benhadad Hazaelsson, heile hans stryringstid.
Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, continually.
4 Joahaz freista å blidka Herren, og Herren bønhøyrde honom, av di han såg den naudi syrarkongen førde Israel upp i.
Jehoahaz begged Yahweh, and Yahweh listened to him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how 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.
(Yahweh gave Israel a savior, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians; and the children of Israel lived in their tents as before.
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 didn’t depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin, but walked in them; and the Asherah also remained 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.
For he didn’t leave to Jehoahaz of the people any more than fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria destroyed them and made them like the dust in 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, aren’t they 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.
Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria; and Joash his son reigned in his place.
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-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria for 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.
He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight. He didn’t depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; but he walked in them.
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.
Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, aren’t they 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.
Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat on his throne. 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 became sick with the illness of which he died; and Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over him, and said, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!”
15 Elisa sagde med honom: «Henta ein boge og piler!» Han henta deim til honom.
Elisha said to him, “Take bow and arrows;” and he took bow and arrows for himself.
16 Baud han so Israels-kongen: «Legg handi di på bogen!» Han so gjorde, og Elisa lagde sine hender på kongens hender.
He said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow;” and he put his hand on it. Elisha laid his hands on 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.»
He said, “Open the window eastward;” and he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” and he shot. He said, “Yahweh’s arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Syria; for you will strike the Syrians in Aphek until 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.
He said, “Take the arrows;” and he took them. He said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground;” and he struck three times, and stopped.
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.»
The man of God was angry with him, and said, “You should have struck five or six times. Then you would have struck Syria until you had consumed it, but now you will strike Syria just three times.”
20 Elisa døydde og vart gravlagd. Moabitarflokkar gjorde jamt røvarferder i landet ved nyårsbil.
Elisha died, and they buried him. Now 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.
As they were burying a man, behold, they saw a band of raiders; and they threw the man into Elisha’s tomb. As soon as the man touched Elisha’s bones, he revived, and stood up on his feet.
22 Syrarkongen Hazael heldt Israel i trælldom so lenge Joahaz livde.
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.
But Yahweh was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and favored them because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them and he didn’t cast them from his presence as yet.
24 Syrarkongen Hazael døydde, og Benhadad, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his place.
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.
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. Joash struck him three times, and recovered the cities of Israel.
