II Kings 8

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 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!"

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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 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!"

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.

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 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 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 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?

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?"

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

And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept.

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

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.

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!"

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.

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!"

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.

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!"

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 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.

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

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.

In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.

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

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.

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.

Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.

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

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?

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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 went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against Hazael king of Syria in Ramoth–gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.

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

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.

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.
