1 Kings 22
1 And they continued three yeere without warre betweene Aram and Israel.
De holdt sig nu rolige i tre År, der var ikke Krig mellem Aram og Israel.
2 And in the third yeere did Iehoshaphat the King of Iudah come downe to ye King of Israel.
Og i det tredje År drog Kong Josafat af Juda ned til Israels Konge.
3 (Then the King of Israel saide vnto his seruants, Knowe yee not that Ramoth Gilead was ours? and wee stay, and take it not out of ye hand of the King of Aram?)
Da sagde Israels Konge til sine Folk: "I ved jo, at Ramot i Gilead hører os til, og dog rører vi os ikke for at tage det fra Arams Konge!"
4 And he sayde vnto Iehoshaphat, Wilt thou goe with mee to battel against Ramoth Gilead? And Iehoshaphat saide vnto the King of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, and mine horses as thine horses.
Og han sagde til Josafat: "Vil du drage med i Krig mod Ramot i Gilead?" Josafat svarede Israels Konge: "Jeg som du, mit Folk som dit, mine Heste som dine!"
5 Then Iehoshaphat saide vnto the King of Israel, Aske counsaile, I pray thee, of the Lord to day.
Josafat sagde fremdeles til Israels Konge: "Spørg dog først om, hvad HERREN siger!"
6 Then the King of Israel gathered the prophets vpon a foure hundreth men, and said vnto them, Shal I go against Ramoth Gilead to battel, or shall I let it alone? And they said, Go vp: for ye Lord shall deliuer it into the hands of the King.
Da lod Israels Konge Profeterne kalde sammen, henved 400 Mand, og spurgte dem: "Skal jeg drage i Krig mod Ramot i Gilead, eller skal jeg lade være?" De svarede: "Drag derop, så skal HERREN give det i Kongens Hånd!"
7 And Iehoshaphat said, Is there here neuer a Prophet of the Lord more, that we might inquire of him?
Men Josafat spurgte: "Er her ikke endnu een af HERRENs Profe ter, vi kan spørge?
8 And the King of Israel said vnto Iehoshaphat, There is yet one man (Michaiah the sonne of Imlah) by whom we may aske counsel of the Lord, but I hate him: for he doeth not prophecie good vnto me, but euill. And Iehoshaphat sayd, Let not the King say so.
Israels Konge svarede: "Her er endnu en Mand, ved hvem vi kan rådspørge HERREN; men jeg hader ham, fordi han aldrig spår mig godt, kun ondt; det er Mika, Jimlas Søn." Men Josafat sagde: Således må Kongen ikke tale!"
9 Then the King of Israel called an Eunuche, and sayde, Call quickely Michaiah the sonne of Imlah.
Da kaldte Israels Konge på en Hofmand og sagde: "Hent hurtig Mika, Jimlas Søn!"
10 And the King of Israel and Iehoshaphat the King of Iudah sate either of them on his throne in their apparell in the voyde place at the entring in of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets prophecied before them.
Imidlertid sad Israels Konge og Kong Josafat af Juda, iført deres Skrud, hver på sin Trone i Samarias Portåbning, og alle Profeterne spåede foran dem.
11 And Zidkiiah the sonne of Chenaanah made him hornes of yron, and sayd, Thus sayth the Lord, With these shalt thou push the Aramites, vntill thou hast consumed them.
Da lavede Zidkija, Kena'anas Søn, sig Horn af Jern og sagde: "Så siger HERREN: Med sådanne skal du støde Aramæerne ned, til de er tilintetgjort!
12 And all the prophets prophecied so, saying, Goe vp to Ramoth Gilead, and prosper: for the Lord shall deliuer it into the Kings hand.
Og alle Profeterne spåede det samme og sagde: "Drag op mod Ramot i Gilead, så skal Lykken følge dig, og HERREN vil give det i Kongens Hånd!"
13 And the messenger that was gone to call Michaiah spake vnto him, saying, Beholde now, the wordes of the prophets declare good vnto the King with one accorde: let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like the worde of one of them, and speake thou good.
Men Budet, der var gået efter Mika, sagde til ham: Se, Profeterne har alle som een givet Kongen gunstigt Svar. Tal du nu som de og giv gunstigt Svar!
14 And Michaiah saide, As the Lord liueth, whatsoeuer the Lord sayth vnto me, that will I speake.
Men Mika svarede: "Så sandt HERREN lever: Hvad HERREN siger mig, det vil jeg tale!
15 So he came to the King, and the King said vnto him, Michaiah, shall we go against Ramoth Gilead to battel, or shall we leaue off? And he answered him, Goe vp, and prosper: and the Lord shall deliuer it into the hand of the King.
Da han kom til Kongen, spurgte denne ham: "Mika, skal vi drage i Krig mod Ramot i Gilead, eller skal vi lade være?" Da svarede han: "Drag derop, så skal Lykken følge dig, og HERREN vil give det i Kongens Hånd!"
16 And the King said vnto him, How oft shall I charge thee, that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the Name of the Lord?
Men Kongen sagde til ham: "Hvor mange Gange skal jeg besvære dig, at du ikke siger mig andet end Sandheden i HERRENs Navn?"
17 Then he said, I sawe all Israel scattered vpon the mountaines, as sheepe that had no shepheard. And the Lord sayde, These haue no master, let euery man returne vnto his house in peace.
Da sagde han: Jeg så hele Israel spredt på Bjergene som en Hjord uden Hyrd: og HERREN sagde: De Folk har ingen Herre, lad dem vende tilbage i Fred, hver til sit!
18 (And the King of Israel saide vnto Iehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee, that he would prophecie no good vnto me, but euill?)
Israels Konge sagde da til Josafat: "Sagde jeg dig ikke, at han aldrig spår mig godt, kun ondt!
19 Againe he said, Heare thou therefore the worde of the Lord. I sawe the Lord sit on his throne, and all the hoste of heauen stood about him on his right hand and on his left hand.
Da sagde Mika: "Så hør da HERRENs Ord! Jeg så HERREN sidde på sin Trone og hele Himmelens Hær stå til højre og venstre for ham;
20 And the Lord sayd, Who shall entise Ahab that he may go and fall at Ramoth Gilead? And one said on this maner, and another sayd on that maner.
og HERREN sagde: Hvem vil dåre Akab, så han drager op og falder ved Ramot i Gilead? En sagde nu eet, en anden et andet;
21 Then there came forth a spirit, and stoode before the Lord, and sayd, I wil entise him. And the Lord sayd vnto him, Wherewith?
men så trådte en Ånd frem og stillede sig foran HERREN og sagde: Jeg vil dåre ham! HERREN spurgte ham: Hvorledes?
22 And he sayd, I will goe out, and be a false spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. Then he sayd, Thou shalt entise him, and shalt also preuayle: goe forth, and doe so.
Han svarede: Jeg vil gå hen og blive en Løgnens Ånd i alle hans Profefers Mund! Da sagde HERREN: Ja, du kan dåre ham; gå hen og gør det!
23 Now therefore behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirite in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath appoynted euill against thee.
Se, således har HERREN lagt en Løgnens Ånd i alle disse dine Profeters Mund, thi HERREN har ondt i Sinde imod dig!"
24 Then Zidkiiah the sonne of Chenaanah came neere, and smote Michaiah on the cheeke and sayd, When went the Spirite of the Lord from me, to speake vnto thee?
Da trådte Zidkija, Kena'as Søn, frem og slog Mika på kinden og, sagde: "Ad hvilken Vej skulde HERRENs Ånd have forladt mig for at tale til dig?"
25 And Michaiah saide, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt goe from chamber to chamber to hide thee.
Men Mika sagde: "Det skal du få at se, den Dag du flygter fra Kammer til Kammer for at skjule dig!"
26 And the King of Israel sayd, Take Michaiah, and cary him vnto Amon the gouernour of the citie, and vnto Ioash the Kings sonne,
Så sagde Israels Konge: "Tag Mika og bring ham tilbage til Amon, Byens Øverste, og Kongesønnen Joasj
27 And say, Thus saith the King, Put this man in the prison house, and feede him with bread of affliction, and with water of affliction, vntill I returne in peace.
og sig: Såleds siger Kongen: Kast denne Mand i Fængsel og sæt ham på Trængselsbrød og Trængselsvand, indtil jeg kommer uskadt tilbage!"
28 And Michaiah sayde, If thou returne in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he sayd, Hearken all ye people.
Men Mika sagde: "Kommer du uskadt tilbage, så har HERREN ikke talet ved mig!" Og han sagde: "Hør, alle I Folkeslag!"
29 So the King of Israel and Iehoshaphat the King of Iudah went vp to Ramoth Gilead.
Så drog Israels Konge og Kong Josafat af Juda op mod Ramot i Gilead.
30 And the King of Israel sayde to Iehoshaphat, I will change mine apparell, and will enter into the battell, but put thou on thine apparell. And the King of Israel changed himselfe, and went into the battel.
Og Israels Konge sagde til Josafat: "Jeg vil forklæde mig, før jeg drager i Kampen; men tag du dine egne Klæder på!" Og Israels Konge forklædte sig og drog så i Kampen.
31 And the King of Aram commanded his two and thirtie captaines ouer his charets, saying, Fight neither with small, nor great, saue onely against the King of Israel.
Men Arams Konge havde givet sine to og tredive Vognstyrere den Befaling: "I må ikke angribe nogen, være sig høj eller lav, uden Israels Konge alene!"
32 And when the captaines of the charets saw Iehoshaphat, they sayd, Surely it is the King of Israel, and they turned to fight against him: and Iehoshaphat cryed.
Da nu Vognstyrerne fik Øje på Josafat, tænkte de: "Det er sikkert Israels Konge!" Og de rettede deres Angreb mod ham. Da gav Josafat sig til at råbe;
33 And when the captaines of the charets saw that he was not the King of Israel, they turned backe from him.
og da Vognstyrene opdagede, at det ikke var Israels konge, trak de sig bort fra ham.
34 Then a certaine man drewe a bow mightily and smote the King of Israel betweene the ioyntes of his brigandine. Wherefore he sayde vnto his charet man, Turne thine hand and cary me out of the hoste: for I am hurt.
Men en Mand, der skød en Pil af på Lykke og Fromme, ramte Israels Konge mellem Remmene og Brynjen. Da sagde han til sin Vognstyrer: "Vend og før mig ud af Slaget, thi jeg er såret!"
35 And the battel encreased that day, and the King stoode still in his charet against the Aramites, and dyed at euen: and the blood ran out of the wound into the middes of the charet.
Men Kampen blev hårdere og hårdere den Dag, og Kongen holdt sig oprejst i sin Vogn over for Aramæerne til Aften, skønt Blodet fra Såret flød ned i Bunden at Vognen; men om Aftenen døde han.
36 And there went a proclamation thorowout the hoste about the going downe of the sunne, saying, Euery man to his citie, and euery man to his owne countrey.
Da Solen gik ned, gik det Råb gennem Lejren: "Enhver drage hjem til sin By og sit Land,
37 So the King died, and was brought to Samaria, and they buried the King in Samaria.
thi Kongen er død!" Så kom de til Samaria, og de jordede Kongen der.
38 And one washed the charet in the poole of Samaria, and the dogs licked vp his blood (and they washed his armour) according vnto the word of the Lord which he spake.
Og da man skyllede Vognen ved Samarias Dam, slikkede Hundene hans Blod, og Skøgerne badede sig deri efter det Ord, HERREN havde talet.
39 Concerning the rest of the actes of Ahab and all that he did, and the yuorie house which he built, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Akab, alt, hvad han gjorde, Elfenbenshuset, han lod opføre, og alle de Byer, han befæstede, står jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.
40 So Ahab slept with his fathers, and Ahaziah his sonne reigned in his stead.
Så lagde Akab sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre; og hans Søn Ahazja blev Konge i hans Sted.
41 And Iehoshaphat the sonne of Asa began to reigne vpon Iudah in the fourth yeere of Ahab King of Israel.
Josafat, Asas Søn, blev Konge over Juda i Kong Akab af Israels fjerde Regeringsår.
42 Iehoshaphat was fiue and thirty yere olde, when he began to reigne, and reigned fiue and twentie yeere in Ierusalem. And his mothers name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
Josafat var fem og tredive År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede fem og tyve År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Azuba og var en Datter af Sjilhi.
43 And he walked in all the wayes of Asa his father, and declined not therefrom, but did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord. Neuerthelesse the hie places were not taken away: for the people offred still and burnt incense in the hie places.
Han vandrede nøje i sin Fader Asas Spor og veg ikke derfra, idet han gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENs Øjne. Kun blev Offerhøjene ikke fjernet, og Folket blev ved at ofre og tænde Offerild på Højene.
44 And Iehoshaphat made peace with the King of Israel.
Og Josafat havde Fred med Israels Konge.
45 Concerning the rest of the actes of Iehoshaphat, and his worthy deedes that he did, and his battels which he fought, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Josafat, de Heltegerninger, han udførte, og de Krige, han førte, står jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.
46 And the Sodomites, which remayned in the dayes of his father Asa, he put cleane out of the land.
De sidste af Mandsskøgerne, som var tilbage fra hans Fader Asas Tid, udryddede han af Landet.
47 There was then no King in Edom: the deputie was King.
På den Tid var der ingen Konge i Edom.
48 Iehoshaphat made shippes of Tharshish to sayle to Ophir for golde, but they went not, for the shippes were broken at Ezion Gaber.
Kong Josafats Statholder byggede et Tarsisskib til Fart på Ofir efter Guld; men der kom intet ud af det, da Skibet gik under ved Ezjongeber.
49 Then sayde Ahaziah the sonne of Ahab vnto Iehoshaphat, Let my seruants goe with thy seruants in the ships, But Iehoshaphat would not.
Da foreslog Ahazja, Akabs Søn, Josafat at lade sine Folk sejle med hans; men Josafat afslog det.
50 And Iehoshaphat did sleepe with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the citie of Dauid his father, and Iehoram his sonne reigned in his stead.
Så lagde Josafat sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet hos sine Fædre i sin Fader Davids By og hans Søn Joram blev Konge i hans Sted.
51 Ahaziah the sonne of Ahab began to reigne ouer Israel in Samaria, the seuenteenth yeere of Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, and reigned two yeeres ouer Israel.
Ahazja, Akabs Søn, blev Konge over Israel i Samaria i Kong Josafat af Judas syttende Regeringsår, og han herskede to År over Israel.
52 But he did euill in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, which made Israel to sinne.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, og vandrede i sin Faders og sin Moders Spor og i Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Spor, han, som forledte Israel til at synde.
53 For he serued Baal and worshipped him, and prouoked the Lord God of Israel vnto wrath, according vnto all that his father had done.
Han dyrkede Ba'al og tilbad ham og krænkede HERREN, Israels Gud, nøjagtigt som hans Fader havde gjort.
