Anden Kongebog 8

1 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!"

Now, Elisha, had spoken unto the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying—Arise, and take thy journey, thou and thy household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn, for Yahweh hath called for a famine, moreover also, it is coming upon the land seven years.

2 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.

So the woman arose, and did according to the word of the man of God, —and took her journey, she and her household, and she sojourned in the land of the Philistines, seven years.

3 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.

And it came to pass, at the end of seven years, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines, —and she went forth to make outcry unto the king, concerning her house and concerning her field.

4 Kongen talte just med den Guds Mands Tjener Gehazi og sagde: "Fortæl mig om alle de storeGerninger, Elisa harudført!"

Now, the king, was speaking unto Gehazi, servant of the man of God, saying, Do recount unto me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.

5 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!"

And so it was, just as he was recounting to the king how he had restored the dead to life, lo! the woman whose son he had restored to life, began making outcry unto the king, for her house and for her field. Then said Gehazi, My lord, O king! this, is the woman, and, this, her son, whom, Elisha, restored to life.

6 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!"

So the king asked the woman, and she recounted it to him, —the king, therefore, appointed her a certain officer, saying—Restore all that was hers, and all the increase of the field, from the day she left the land, even until now.

7 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,

And Elisha came into Damascus, when Ben-hadad king of Syria, was sick, —and it was told him, saying, The man of God hath come as far as this place.

8 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!"

So the king said unto Hazael—Take in thy hand a present, and go to meet the man of God, —so shalt thou enquire of Yahweh, from him, saying, Shall I recover from this sickness?

9 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?"

So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present in his hand, even every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden, —and came, and stood before him, and said—Thy son, Ben-hadad king of Syria, hath sent me unto thee, saying, Shall I recover from this sickness?

10 Elisa svarede: "Gå hen og sig ham: Du kommer dig!" Men HERREN har ladet mig skue, at han skal dø!"

And Elisha said unto him, Go, say to him, Thou shalt, recover; And yet Yahweh hath shown me, that he will, die.

11 Og han stirrede stift frem for sig og var ude af sig selv af Rædsel. Så brast den Guds Mand i Gråd,

And he settled his countenance, and fixed it until he turned pale, —and the man of God, wept.

12 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!"

Then said Hazael, Why, is my lord, weeping? And he said—Because I know what thou wilt do to the sons of Israel, by way of harm—Their fortresses, thou wilt set on fire, and, their choice young men, with the sword, thou wilt slay, and, their children, thou wilt dash in pieces, and, their women with child, thou wilt rip up.

13 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!"

And Hazael said, But what is thy servant—the dog—that he should do this great thing? And Elisha said, Yahweh hath shown thee unto me, as king over Syria.

14 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!"

So he departed from Elisha, and came in unto his lord, who said to him, What said, Elisha, unto thee? And he said. He told me thou wouldst, recover.

15 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.

But it came to pass on the morrow, that he took the coverlet, and dipped it in water, and spread it over his face, that he died, —and, Hazael, reigned, in his stead.

16 I Akabs Søns, Kong Joram af Israels, femte Regeringsår blev Joram, Josafats Søn, Konge over Juda.

Now, in the fifth year of Joram son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoshaphat, having been king of Judah, Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, began to reign.

17 Han var to og tredive År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede otte År i Jerusalem.

Thirty-two years old, was he when he began to reign, and, eight years, reigned, he in Jerusalem.

18 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.

And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as did the house of Ahab, for, a daughter of Ahab, became his wife, —and he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh.

19 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.

Yet was not Yahweh willing to destroy Judah, for the sake of David his servant, —even as he promised him to give him a lamp for his sons all the days.

20 I hans Dage rev Edomiterne sig løs fra Judas Overherredømme og valgte sig en Konge.

In his days, did Edom revolt from under the hand of Judah, —and they set over them a king.

21 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.

So Joram passed over to Zair, and all the chariots with him, —and it came to pass that, he, arising by night, smote the Edomites that were round about unto him, and the captains of the chariots, and the people fled to their homes,

22 Således rev Edom sig løs fra Judas Overherredømme, og således er det den Dag i Dag. På samme Tid rev også Libna sig løs.

Yet did Edom revolt from under the hand of Judah, unto this day, —then, revolted Libnah, at the same time.

23 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Joram, alt, hvad han udførte, står optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.

Now, the rest of the story of Joram, and all that he did, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

24 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.

And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, in the city of David, —and, Ahaziah his son, reigned, in his stead.

25 I Akabs Søns, Kong Joram af Israels, tolvte Regeringsår blev Ahazja, Jorams Søn, Konge over Juda.

In the twelfth year of Joram son of Ahab king of Israel, did Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah, begin to reign.

26 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.

Two and twenty years old, was Ahaziah when he began to reign, —and, one year, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Athaliah, daughter of Omri, king of Israel;

27 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.

And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, like the house of Ahab, —for, son-in-law of the house of Ahab, was, he.

28 Sammen med Joram, Akabs Søn, drog han i Krig mod Kong Hazael af Aram ved Ramot i Gilead. Men Aramæerne sårede Joram.

And he went with Joram son of Ahab, to make war against Hazael king of Syria, in Ramoth-gilead, —and the Syrians wounded Joram.

29 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.

So Joram the king returned to get healed in Jezreel, from the wounds wherewith the Syrians had wounded him in Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria, —and, Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah, went down to see Joram son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he, was sick.
