2 Kings 13
1 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.
Idet tre og tyvende Joas's, Ahasias Søns, Judas Konges, Aar blev Joahas, Jehus Søn, Konge over Israel i Samaria i sytten Aar.
2 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. He did not depart from it.
Og han gjorde det onde for Herrens Øjne og vandrede efter Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Synder, med hvilke han kom Israel til at synde, han veg ikke derfra.
3 The LORD’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.
Derfor optændtes Herrens Vrede over Israel, og han gav dem i Hasaels, Syriens Konges, Haand og i Benhadads, Hasaels Søns, Haand alle Dage.
4 Jehoahaz begged the LORD, and the LORD listened to him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Syria oppressed them.
Men Joahas bad ydmygeligt til Herren, og Herren hørte ham; thi han saa til Israels Trængsel, thi Kongen af Syrien trængte dem.
5 (The LORD 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.
Og Herren gav Israel en Frelser, og de slap fri for at være under Syrernes Magt; og Israels Børn boede i deres Telte som tilforn.
6 Nevertheless they did not 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.)
Dog vege de ikke fra Jeroboams Hus's Synder, som han kom Israel til at synde med, men man vandrede derudi, og Astartebilledet blev ogsaa staaende i Samaria.
7 For he did not 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.
Men Joahas beholdt ikke flere Folk tilovers end halvtredsindstyve Ryttere og ti Vogne og ti Tusinde Fodfolk; thi Kongen af Syrien havde ødelagt dem og gjort dem til Støv at træde paa.
8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Men det øvrige af Joahas's Handeler og alt, hvad han gjorde, og hans Vælde, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Israels Kongers Krønikers Bog?
9 Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria; and Joash his son reigned in his place.
Og Joahas laa med sine Fædre, og de begravede ham i Samaria, og hans Søn, Joas blev Konge i hans Sted.
10 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.
I det syv og tredivte Joas's, Judas Konges, Aar blev Joas, Joahas's Søn, Konge over Israel i Samaria i seksten Aar.
11 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight. He did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; but he walked in them.
Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne; han veg ikke fra nogen af Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Synder, som han kom Israel til at synde med, men han vandrede deri.
12 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, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Men det øvrige af Joas's Handeler og alt, hvad han gjorde og hans Vælde, hvorledes han stred med Amazia, Judas Konge, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Israels Kongers Krønikers Bog?
13 Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat on his throne. Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
Og Joas laa med sine Fædre, og Jeroboam sad paa hans Trone; og Joas blev begraven i Samaria hos Israels Konger.
14 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!”
Og Elisa blev syg af sin Sygdom, af hvilken han døde; og Joas, Israels Konge, kom ned til ham og græd for hans Ansigt og sagde: Min Fader, min Fader! Israels Vogne og hans Ryttere!
15 Elisha said to him, “Take bow and arrows;” and he took bow and arrows for himself.
Da sagde Elisa til ham: Tag Bue og Pile; og han tog Bue og Pile til ham.
16 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.
Da sagde han til Israels Konge: Læg din Haand paa Buen; og han lagde sin Haand paa den, og Elisa lagde sine Hænder paa Kongens Hænder.
17 He said, “Open the window eastward;” and he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” and he shot. He said, “The LORD’s arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Syria; for you will strike the Syrians in Aphek until you have consumed them.”
Og han sagde: Luk det Vindue op imod Østen! og han lukkede det op; og Elisa sagde: Skyd! og han skød. Og han sagde: En Frelses Pil fra Herren og en Frelses Pil imod Syrerne, og du skal slaa Syrerne i Afek, indtil du gør Ende paa dem.
18 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.
Og han sagde: Tag Pilene; og han tog dem; og han sagde til Kongen af Israel: Slaa imod Jorden; og han slog tre Gange, og saa holdt han op.
19 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.”
Da blev den Guds Mand vred paa ham og sagde: Havde du slaget fem eller seks Gange, da skulde du have slaget Syrerne, indtil du havde gjort Ende paa dem; men nu skal du slaa Syrerne tre Gange.
20 Elisha died, and they buried him. Now the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
Og Elisa døde, og de begravede ham; og Moabs Tropper kom i Landet først paa Aaret.
21 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.
Og det skete, at de begravede en Mand, og se, da de saa Troppen, da kastede de Manden i Elisas Grav; og der Manden kom ned og rørte ved Elisas Ben, da blev han levende og stod op paa sine Fødder.
22 Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
Og Hasael, Kongen af Syrien, havde trængt Israel alle Joahas's Dage.
23 But the LORD 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 did not cast them from his presence as yet.
Men Herren var dem naadig og forbarmede sig over dem og vendte sig til dem for sin Pagts Skyld med Abraham, Isak og Jakob og vilde ikke ødelægge dem og bortkastede dem endnu ikke fra sit Ansigt.
24 Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his place.
Og Hasael, Kongen af Syrien, døde, og hans Søn Benhadad blev Konge i hans Sted.
25 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.
Og Joas, Joahas's Søn, tog de Stæder igen fra Benhadads, Hasaels Søns, Haand, som han havde taget fra Joahas's, hans Faders, Haand i Krigen; tre Gange slog Joas ham og fik Israels Stæder igen.
