Første Kongebog 22 |
| 1992 | King James Version |
| 1 I tre år forholdt Aram og Israel sig i ro; der var ikke krig imellem dem. | 1 And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel. |
| 2 Men i det tredje år kom Judas konge Joshafat ned til Israels konge. | 2 And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel. |
| 3 Israels konge sagde da til sine folk: "I ved, at Ramot i Gilead tilhørte os. Men vi gør ikke noget for at erobre den tilbage fra aramæerkongen." | 3 And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria? |
| 4 Og til Joshafat sagde han: "Vil du gå med mig i krig mod Ramot i Gilead?" Joshafat svarede Israels konge: "Jeg gør som du, mine folk som dine folk, mine heste som dine heste!" | 4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramothgilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses. |
| 5 Men Joshafat sagde til Israels konge: "Søg først råd hos Herren!" | 5 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day. |
| 6 Så samlede Israels konge profeterne, henved fire hundrede mand, og spurgte dem: "Skal jeg gå i krig mod Ramot i Gilead, eller skal jeg lade være?" De svarede: "Gå imod den! Herren vil give den i kongens hånd." | 6 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king. |
| 7 Men Joshafat spurgte: "Er her ikke nogen anden af Herrens profeter, vi kan søge råd hos?" | 7 And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might inquire of him? |
| 8 og Israels konge svarede: "Jo, der er endnu en, hos hvem man kan søge råd fra Herren. Men jeg hader ham, for han profeterer mig ikke noget godt, kun noget ondt. Det er Mika, Jimlas søn." Men Joshafat sagde: "Sådan må kongen ikke sige!" | 8 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so. |
| 9 Israels konge kaldte så på en hofmand og sagde: "Få hurtigt fat på Mika, Jimlas søn!" | 9 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah. |
| 10 Israels konge og Judas konge Joshafat sad nu, iført deres kapper, på hver sin trone på tærskepladsen ved Samarias byport, og alle profeterne profeterede foran dem. | 10 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them. |
| 11 Sidkija, Kena'anas søn, havde lavet sig horn af jern og sagde: "Dette sigerHerren: Med disse skal du stange aramæerne, til du har gjort det af med dem." | 11 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and he said, Thus saith the LORD, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have consumed them. |
| 12 Alle de andre profeter profeterede ligesådan: "Drag op mod Ramot i Gilead, og du får lykken med dig! Herren vil give byen i kongens hånd." | 12 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the king's hand. |
| 13 Budet, som var gået hen efter Mika, sagde til ham: "Hør her! Da profeternes ord enstemmigt er til gavn for kongen, så lad dine ord være som deres og giv et godt svar." | 13 And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good. |
| 14 Men Mika sagde: "Så sandt Herren lever: Kun hvad Herren siger til mig, vil jeg tale." | 14 And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that will I speak. |
| 15 Da han nu var kommet til kongen, sagde kongen til ham: "Mika, skal vi gå i krig mod Ramot i Gilead, eller skal vi lade være?" Han svarede: "Gå imod den, og du får lykken med dig! Herren vil give byen i kongens hånd." | 15 So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king. |
| 16 Men kongen sagde til ham: "Hvor mange gange skal jeg besværge dig, at du ikke siger mig andet end sandheden i Herrens navn?" | 16 And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the LORD? |
| 17 Da sagde Mika: "Jeg så hele Israel spredt på-bjergene, som får uden hyrde, og Herren sagde: De har ingen herre, lad dem alle vende hjem i fred!" | 17 And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace. |
| 18 Israels konge sagde da til Joshafat: "Var det ikke det, jeg sagde til dig! Han profeterer mig ikke noget godt, kun nogetondt." | 18 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil? |
| 19 Men Mika sagde: "Så hør da Herrens ord! Jeg så Herren sidde på sin trone, og hele himlens hær stod til højre og til venstre for ham. | 19 And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left. |
| 20 Herren spurgte: Hvem vil lokke Akab, så han drager op og falder ved Ramot i Gilead? Nu råbte den ene ét, den anden noget andet. | 20 And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner. |
| 21 Men så trådte en ånd frem, stillede sig foran Herren og sagde: Jeg vil lokke ham! Da Herren spurgte ham hvordan, | 21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him. |
| 22 svarede han: Jeg vil gå ud og blive en løgneånd i munden på alle hans profeter. Herren sagde: Du er i stand til at lokke ham, gå ud og gør det! | 22 And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so. |
| 23 Altså er det en løgneånd, Herren har lagt i munden på alle dine profeter her, for Herren truer dig med ulykke." | 23 Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee. |
| 24 Men nu trådte Sidkija, Kena'anas søn, frem, slog Mika på kinden og sagde: "Skulle Herrens ånd have forladt mig for at tale gennem dig?" | 24 But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee? |
| 25 Mika svarede: "Det skal du få at se, den dag du går ind i det inderste rum for at skjule dig!" | 25 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself. |
| 26 Men Israels konge sagde: "Grib Mika og bring ham til byens kommandant, Amon, og til kongesønnen Joash | 26 And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son; |
| 27 og sig: Dette siger kongen: Kast denne mand i fængsel, og sæt ham på vand og brød, til jeg vender uskadt tilbage." | 27 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace. |
| 28 Da sagde Mika: "Hvis du virkelig vender uskadt tilbage, er det ikke Herren, der har talt ved mig." ? Og han sagde: "Hør, alle folkeslag!" ? | 28 And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you. |
| 29 Så drog Israels konge og Judas konge Joshafat op mod Ramot i Gilead. | 29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead. |
| 30 Israels konge sagde til Joshafat: "Jeg vil gøre mig ukendelig, før jeg går ud i kampen; behold du dine egne klæder på." Så gjorde Israels konge sig ukendelig og gik i kamp. | 30 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle. |
| 31 Arams konge havde imidlertid givet sine toogtredive vognkommandanter befaling til ikke at angribe hvem som helst, men kun Israels konge. | 31 But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel. |
| 32 Da nu vognkommandanterne så Joshafat, sagde de: "Det må være Israels konge!" Og de vendte sig mod ham for at gå til angreb på ham. Joshafat råbte om hjælp, | 32 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out. |
| 33 og da vognkommandanterne forstod, at han ikke var Israels konge, trak de sig tilbage. | 33 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him. |
| 34 Men en mand skød sin bue af på lykke og fromme og ramte Israels konge mellem pladerne og brynjen. Kongen sagde da til sin vognstyrer: "Vend om og bring mig ud af slagrækken, for jeg er såret!" | 34 And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded. |
| 35 Selv om kampen blev voldsommere og voldsommere den dag, holdt kongen sig oprejst på sin vogn over for aramæerne. Men om aftenen døde han, og blodet fra såret flød ned i vognen. | 35 And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot. |
| 36 Ved solnedgang lød råbet gennem lejren: "Hver mand til sin by! Hver mand til sit land!" | 36 And there went a proclamation throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country. |
| 37 Kongen døde og blev bragt til Samaria. Kongen blev begravet i Samaria. | 37 So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria. |
| 38 Da man skyllede hans vogn ren ved Samarias dam, slikkede hundene hans blod, og skøgerne badede i det, efter det ord, Herren havde talt. | 38 And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armour; according unto the word of the LORD which he spake. |
| 39 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Akab, alt hvad han gjorde, Elfenbenshuset han byggede, og alle de byer han befæstede, står jo i Israels Kongers Krønike. | 39 Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? |
| 40 Så lagde Akab sig til hvile hos sine fædre, og hans søn Akazja blev konge efter ham. | 40 So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead. |
| 41 Joshafat, Asas søn, blev konge over Juda i Israels konge Akabs fjerde regeringsår. | 41 And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel. |
| 42 Joshafat var femogtredive år, da han blev konge, og han regerede femogtyve år i Jerusalem. Hans mor hed Azuba og var datter af Shilki. | 42 Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. |
| 43 Han fulgte helt i sin far Asas spor og veg ikke fra dem, men gjorde, hvad der var ret i Herrens øjne. | 43 And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places. |
| 44 Men offerhøjene forsvandt ikke. Folket fortsatte med at bringe slagtofre og tænde offerild på højene. | 44 And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel. |
| 45 Joshafat holdt fred med kongen af Israel. | |
| 46 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Joshafat, de heltegerninger, han udførte, hvordan han førte krig, står jo i Judas Kongers Krønike. | 46 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? |
| 47 Men resten af de mandlige helligskøger, som var tilbage fra hans far Asas tid, udryddede han af landet. | 47 And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land. |
| 48 Dengang var der ingen konge i Edom. | 48 There was then no king in Edom: a deputy was king. |
| 49 Men kong Joshafats guvernør byggede et Tarshish?skib for at sejle til Ofir efter guld; men han kom ikke afsted, for skibet forliste ved Esjongeber. | 49 Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Eziongeber. |
| 50 Akabs søn Akazja foreslog da Joshafat at lade skibe bemande både med hans og Joshafats folk, men det ville Joshafat ikke. | 50 Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not. |
| 51 Joshafat lagde sig til hvile hos sine fædre og blev begravet hos sine fædre i sin fader Davids by. Hans søn Joram blev konge efter ham. | 51 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead. |
| 52 Akazja, Akabs søn, blev konge over Israel i Samaria i Judas konge Joshafats syttende regeringsår, og han regerede to år over Israel. | 52 Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel. |
| 53 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i Herrens øjne, og han fulgte i sin fars og sin mors spor og i Nebats søn Jeroboams spor, han som havde forledt Israel til synd. | 53 And he did evil 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 Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin: |
| 54 Han dyrkede Ba'al og tilbad ham og vakte derved Herrens, Israels Guds, vrede, | 54 For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all that his father had done. |
