2 Kings 8
1 Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years.
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.»
2 And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.
Kona ferda seg til, og gjorde som gudsmannen sagde. Ho og huslyden hennar for ut, og sette bu i Filistarlandet i sju år.
3 And it came to pass at the seven years’ end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land.
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.
4 And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.
Kongen heldt just på å tala med Gehazi, drengen åt gudsmannen, og bad honom fortelja um alle dei storverki Elisa hadde gjort.
5 And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this [is] the woman, and this [is] her son, whom Elisha restored to life.
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.»
6 And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that [was] hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.
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!»
7 And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come hither.
Elisa kom til Damaskus, medan syrarkongen Benhadad låg sjuk. Då kongen spurde at gudsmannen var komen dit,
8 And the king said unto Hazael, Take a present in thine hand, and go, meet the man of God, and enquire of the LORD by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
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.»
9 So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of 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 to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
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.»
10 And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover: howbeit the LORD hath shewed me that he shall surely die.
Elisa svara honom: «Du kann segja med honom at han skal koma seg. Men Herren syner meg at han skal døy.»
11 And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept.
Medan han stod framfyre honom og nistirde, sette gudsmannen i og gret.
12 And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strong holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, and rip up their women with child.
«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.»
13 And Hazael said, But what, [is] thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The LORD hath shewed me that thou [shalt be] king over Syria.
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.»
14 So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master; who said to him, What said Elisha to thee? And he answered, He told me [that] thou shouldest surely recover.
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.»
15 And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took a thick cloth, and dipped [it] in water, and spread [it] on his face, so that he died: and Hazael reigned in his stead.
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.
16 And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat [being] then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.
I femte styringsåret åt Israels-kongen Joram Ahabssons, medan Josafat var konge i Juda, vart Joram Josafatsson konge i Jerusalem.
17 Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
Tvo og tretti år gamall var han då han vart konge, og åtte år var han konge i Jerusalem.
18 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife: and he did evil in the sight of the LORD.
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.
19 Yet the LORD would not destroy Judah for David his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give him alway a light, [and] to his children.
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.
20 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
I hans tid reiv edomitarne seg laus frå Juda og kåra seg ein konge.
21 So Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him: and he rose by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots: and the people fled into their tents.
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.
22 Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
So kom edomitarne seg laus frå Juda, og er frie den dag i dag. Nett samstundes reiv Libna seg og laus.
23 And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Det som elles er å fortelja um Joram og alt det han gjorde, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Juda-kongarne.
24 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.
Joram lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine og vart gravlagd hjå federne sine, i Davidsbyen. Ahazja, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
25 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel did Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign.
I det tolvte året åt Israels-kongen Joram Ahabsson vart Ahazja Joramsson konge i Juda.
26 Two and twenty years old [was] Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name [was] Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
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.
27 And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the LORD, as [did] the house of Ahab: for he [was] the son in law of the house of Ahab.
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.
28 And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against Hazael king of Syria in Ramoth-gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
Saman med Joram Ahabsson for han i herferd mot syrarkongen Hazael ved Ramot i Gilead. Men Joram vart såra av syrarane.
29 And king Joram went back to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
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.
