1 Profeten Elisa kaldte en af Profetsønnerne til sig og sagde til ham: "Omgjord dine Lænder, tag denne Flaske Olie med og drag til Ramot i Gilead.
1 Now Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets and said to him, “Gird up your loins, and take this flask of oil in your hand and go to Ramoth-gilead.
2 Når du kommer derhen, opsøg så Jehu, Nimsjis Søn Josjafats Søn; gå hen og få ham til at stå op fra sine Fæller og før ham ind i det inderste Hammer;
2 When you arrive there, search out Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in and bid him arise from among his brothers, and bring him to an inner room.
3 tag så Olieflasken og gyd Olien ud over hans Hoved med de Ord: Så siger HERREN: Jeg salver dig til Konge over Israel! Derefter skal du lukke Døren op og flygte ufortøvet!"
3 Then take the flask of oil and pour it on his head and say, ‘Thus says the Lord, “I have anointed you king over Israel.”’ Then open the door and flee and do not wait.”
5 og da han kom derhen, traf han Hærførerne siddende sammen. Han sagde da: "Jeg har et Ærinde til dig, Hærfører!" Jehu spurgte: "Til hvem af os?" Han svarede: "Til dig, Hærfører!"
5 When he came, behold, the captains of the army were sitting, and he said, “I have a word for you, O captain.” And Jehu said, “For which one of us?” And he said, “For you, O captain.”
6 Så rejste han sig og gik ind i Huset; der gød han Olien ud over hans Hoved og sagde til ham: "Så siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Jeg salver dig til Konge over HERRENs Folk, over Israel!
6 He arose and went into the house, and he poured the oil on his head and said to him, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘I have anointed you king over the people of the Lord, even over Israel.
7 Du skal hugge din Herre Akabs Hus ned, så jeg får Hævn over Jesabel for mine Tjenere Profeternes og alle HERRENsjeneres Blod.
7 You shall strike the house of Ahab your master, that I may avenge the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, at the hand of Jezebel.
11 Da Jebu kom ud til sin Herres Folk, spurgte de ham: "Hvorledes står det til? Hvad vilde den gale Mand hos dig?" Han svarede: "I kender jo den Mand og hans Snak!"
11 Now Jehu came out to the servants of his master, and one said to him, “Is all well? Why did this mad fellow come to you?” And he said to them, “You know very well the man and his talk.”
14 Således stiftede Jehu, Nimsjis Søn Josjafats Søn, en Sammensværgelse mod Joram. Joram havde med hele Israel forsvaret Ramot i Gilead mod Kong Hazael af Aram;
14 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. Now Joram with all Israel was defending Ramoth-gilead against Hazael king of Aram,
15 men Kong Joram var vendt tilbage for i Jizre'el at søge Helbredelse for de Sår, Aramæerne havde tilføjet ham, da han kæmpede med Kong Hazael af Aram. Da sagde Jehu: "Vil I som jeg, så lad ikke en eneste slippe ud af Byen og bringe Bud til Jizre'el."
15 but King Joram had returned to Jezreel to be healed of the wounds which the Arameans had inflicted on him when he fought with Hazael king of Aram. So Jehu said, “If this is your mind, then let no one escape or leave the city to go tell it in Jezreel.”
17 Da Vægteren, som stod på Tårnet i Jizre'el, så Støvskyen efter Jehu, sagde han: "Jeg ser en Støvsky!" Da sagde Joram: "Tag en Rytter og send ham ud imod dem, for at han kan spørge, om de kommer med Fred!"
17 Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel and he saw the company of Jehu as he came, and said, “I see a company.” And Joram said, “Take a horseman and send him to meet them and let him say, ‘Is it peace?’”
18 Så red Rytteren ham i Møde og sagde: "Således siger Kongen: Kommer du med Fred?" Jehu svarede: "Hvad vedkommer det dig, om det er med Fred? Omkring, følg mig!" Vægteren meldte: "Sendebudet har nået dem, men han kommer ikke tilbage!"
18 So a horseman went to meet him and said, “Thus says the king, ‘Is it peace?’” And Jehu said, “What have you to do with peace? Turn behind me.” And the watchman reported, “The messenger came to them, but he did not return.”
19 Så sendte han en anden Rytter ud; og da han var kommet hen til dem, sagde han: "Således siger Kongen: Kommer du med Fred?" Jehu svarede: "Hvad vedkommer det dig, om jeg kommer med Fred? Omkring, følg mig!"
19 Then he sent out a second horseman, who came to them and said, “Thus says the king, ‘Is it peace?’” And Jehu answered, “What have you to do with peace? Turn behind me.”
20 Vægteren tneldte: "Han har nået dem, men han kommet ikke tilbage. Og de har en Fart på, som var det Jebu, Nimsjis Søn, thi han farer af Sted som rasende."
20 The watchman reported, “He came even to them, and he did not return; and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives furiously.”
21 Da sagde Joram: "Spænd for!" Og da der var spændt for, kørte Kong Joram af Israel og Kong Ahazja af Juda ud hver i sin Vogn. De kørte Jehu i Møde og traf ham ved Jizre'eliten Nabots Mark.
21 Then Joram said, “Get ready.” And they made his chariot ready. Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu and found him in the property of Naboth the Jezreelite.
22 Da Joram fik Øje på Jehu, spurgte han: "Kommer du med Fred, Jehu?" Men han svarede: "Hvad! Skulde jeg komme med Fred, så længe det ikke har Ende med din Moder Jesabels Bolen og hendes mange Trolddomskunster!"
22 When Joram saw Jehu, he said, “Is it peace, Jehu?” And he answered, “What peace, so long as the harlotries of your mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?”
25 og Jehu sagde til sin Høvedsmand Bidkar: "Tag og kast ham hen på Jizre'eliten Nabots Mark, thi det rinder mig i Hu, hvorledes jeg og du kørte sammen bag efter hans Fader Akab, dengang HERREN fremsatte dette Udsagn imod ham:
25 Then Jehu said to Bidkar his officer, “Take him up and cast him into the property of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite, for I remember when you and I were riding together after Ahab his father, that the Lord laid this oracle against him:
26 Sandelig, Nabots og hans Sønners Blod så jeg i Går, lyder det fra HERREN, og jeg bringer Gengældelse over dig her på denne Mark, lyder det fra HERREN! Tag derfor og kast ham hen på Marken efter HERRENs Ord!"
26 ‘Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons,’ says the Lord, ‘and I will repay you in this property,’ says the Lord. Now then, take and cast him into the property, according to the word of the Lord.”
27 Da Kong Ahazja at Juda så det, flygtede han ad Vejen til BetHagan; men Jehu satte efter ham og råbte: "Også ham!" Og i Gurpasset, i Nærheden afJibleam, skød de ham ned i Vognen. Han undslap til Megiddo, men der døde han.
27 When Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu pursued him and said, “Shoot him too, in the chariot.” So they shot him at the ascent of Gur, which is at Ibleam. But he fled to Megiddo and died there.
36 Og de kom tilbage og meldte ham det; da sagde han: "Det er det Ord, HERREN talede ved sin Tjener Tisjbiten Elias: På Jizre'els Mark skal Hundene æde Jesabels Legeme!
36 Therefore they returned and told him. And he said, “This is the word of the Lord, which He spoke by His servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ‘In the property of Jezreel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel;
