Anden Krønikebog 21
1 Og Josafat laa med sine Fædre og blev begraven hos sine Fædre i Davids Stad, og hans Søn Joram blev Konge i hans Sted.
And Josaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Joran his son reigned in his stead.
2 Og han havde Brødre, Sønner af Josafat: Asaria og Jehiel og Sakaria og Asaria og Mikael og Sefatja; alle disse vare Josafats, Israels Konges, Sønner.
And he had brothers, the six sons of Josaphat, Azarias, and Jeiel, and Zacharias, and Azarias, and Michael, and Zaphatias: all these [were] the sons of Josaphat king of Juda.
3 Og deres Fader gav dem mange Gaver af Sølv og af Guld og kostbare Sager, tillige med faste Stæder i Juda; men Riget gav han Joram, thi han var den førstefødte.
And their father gave them many gifts, silver, and gold, and arms, together with fortified cities in Juda: but he gave the kingdom to Joram, for he [was] the firstborn.
4 Og der Joram havde overtaget sin Faders Rige og havde befæstet sig, slog han alle sine Brødre ihjel med Sværdet, ja ogsaa nogle af de Øverste i Israel.
And Joram entered upon his kingdom, and strengthened himself, and killed all his brothers with the sword, and [some] of the princes of Israel.
5 Joram var to og tredive Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede otte Aar i Jerusalem.
When he was thirty and two years old, Joram succeeded to his kingdom, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
6 Og han vandrede i Israels Kongers Vej, ligesom Akabs Hus gjorde; thi Akabs Datter var hans Hustru; og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne.
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Achaab; for a daughter of Achaab was his wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord:
7 Dog vilde Herren ikke ødelægge Davids Hus for den Pagts Skyld, som han havde gjort med David, og saaledes som han havde sagt, at han vilde give ham og hans Sønner et Lys alle Dage.
nevertheless the Lord would not utterly destroy the house of David, because of the covenant which he made with David, and as he said to him that he would give a light to him and his sons for ever.
8 I hans Dage faldt Edom af fra Judas Herredømme, og de satte en Konge over sig.
In those days Edom revolted from Juda, and they made a king over themselves.
9 Derfor drog Joram over med sine Øverster og alle Vognene med ham, og han gjorde sig rede om Natten og slog Edom, som var trindt omkring ham, og de Øverste for deres Vogne.
And Joram went with the princes, and all the cavalry with him: and it came to pass that he arose by night, and struck Edom that compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots, and the people fled to their tents.
10 Dog faldt Edom af fra Judas Herredømme indtil denne Dag; da faldt ogsaa Libna paa samme Tid af fra hans Herredømme; thi han forlod Herren, sine Fædres Gud.
And Edom revolted from Juda until this day. Then Lomna at that time revolted from [under] his hand, because he forsook the Lord God of his fathers.
11 Han gjorde ogsaa Høje paa Judas Bjerge og forførte Indbyggerne i Jerusalem til at bole, ja han drev Juda dertil.
For he built high places in the cities of Juda, and caused the dwellers in Jerusalem to go a-whoring, and led Juda astray.
12 Og der kom en Skrivelse til ham fra Elias, Profeten, hvori han sagde: Saa siger Herren, din Fader Davids Gud: Fordi du ikke har vandret i din Fader Josafats Veje, ej heller i Asas, Judas Konges, Veje;
And there came to him [a message] in writing from Eliu the prophet, saying, Thus says the Lord God of your father David, Because you have not walked in the way of your father Josaphat, nor in the ways of Asa king of Juda,
13 men du har vandret i Israels Kongers Vej og forført Juda og Jerusalems Indbyggere til at bole efter Akabs Hus's Bolerier, og du tilmed har ihjelslaget dine Brødre af din Faders Hus, hvilke vare bedre end du:
but have walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and have caused Juda and the dwellers in Jerusalem to go a-whoring, as the house of Achaab caused [Israel] to go a-whoring, and you have slain your brethren, the sons of your father, who were better than yourself;
14 Se, derfor skal Herren slaa dit Folk og dine Børn og dine Hustruer og alt dit Gods med stor Plage
behold, the Lord shall strike you with a great plague amongst your people, and your sons, and your wives, and all your store:
15 og dig selv med mange Smerter, ved en Sygdom i dine Indvolde, indtil dine Indvolde gaa ud formedelst Smerten, der skal vare fra Dag til Dag.
and you [shall be afflicted] with a grievous disease, with a disease of the bowels, until your bowels shall fall out day by day with the sickness.
16 Saa opvakte Herren imod Joram Filisternes Aand og de Arabers, som bo ved Siden af Morianerne.
So the Lord stirred up the Philistines against Joram, and the Arabians, and those who bordered on the Aethiopians:
17 Og de droge op i Juda og brøde ind derudi og bortførte alt Godset, som fandtes i Kongens Hus og tilmed hans Sønner og hans Hustruer; og han beholdt ikke en Søn tilovers uden Joakas, den yngste af hans Sønner.
and they went up against Juda, and prevailed against them, and took away all the store which they found in the house of the king, and his sons, and his daughters; and there was no son left to him but Ochozias the youngest of his sons.
18 Og efter alt dette plagede Herren ham i hans Indvolde med Smerte, saa at der var ingen Lægedom.
And after all these things the Lord struck him in the bowels with an incurable disease.
19 Og det holdt ved fra Dag til Dag, og ved Enden af det andet Aar, da gik hans Indvolde ud under hans Sygdom, saa at han døde i gruelige Smerter; og hans Folk brændte intet til hans Ære, saaledes som de havde gjort for hans Fædre.
And it continued from day to day: and when the time of the days came [to] two years, his bowels fell out with the disease, and he died by a grievous distemper: and his people performed no funeral, like the funeral of his fathers.
20 Han var to og tredive Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede otte Aar i Jerusalem, og han vandrede saa, at ingen havde Længsel efter ham, og de begrove ham i Davids Stad, men ikke iblandt Kongernes Grave.
He was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he departed without honour, and was buried in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
