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.
Iehosphaphat then slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the citie of Dauid: and Iehoram his sonne reigned in his steade.
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 brethren the sonnes of Iehoshaphat, Azariah, and Iehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were the sonnes of Iehoshaphat King of Israel.
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 gaue them great giftes of siluer and of golde, and of precious things, with strong cities in Iudah, but the kingdome gaue he to Iehoram: for he was the eldest.
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 Iehoram rose vp vpon the kingdom of his father, and made himselfe strong, and slew all his brethren with the sworde, and also of the princes of Israel.
5 Joram var to og tredive Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede otte Aar i Jerusalem.
Iehoram was two and thirtie yeere olde, when he began to reigne, and he reigned eyght yeere in Ierusalem.
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 the house of Ahab had done: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife, and he wrought euill in the eyes 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.
Howbeit the Lord would not destroy the house of Dauid, because of the couenant that he had made with Dauid, and because he had promised to giue a light to him, and to his sonnes for euer.
8 I hans Dage faldt Edom af fra Judas Herredømme, og de satte en Konge over sig.
In his dayes Edom rebelled from vnder the hand of Iudah, and made a King ouer them.
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 Iehoram went forth with his princes, and all his charets with him: and hee rose vp by night, and smote Edom, which had compassed him in, and the captaines of the charets.
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.
But Edom rebelled from vnder the hande of Iudah vnto this day. then did Libnah rebell at the same time from vnder his hand, because he had forsaken 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.
Moreouer hee made hie places in the mountaines of Iudah, and caused the inhabitants of Ierusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Iudah thereto.
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 a writing to him from Elijah the Prophet, saying, Thus sayth the Lord God of Dauid thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the wayes of Iehoshaphat thy father, nor in the wayes of Asa King of Iudah,
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 hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Iudah and the inhabitantes of Ierusalem to go a whoring, as the house of Ahab went a whoring, and hast also slaine thy brethre of thy fathers house, which were better then thou,
14 Se, derfor skal Herren slaa dit Folk og dine Børn og dine Hustruer og alt dit Gods med stor Plage
Beholde, with a great plague will the Lord smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wiues, and all thy substance,
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 thou shalt be in great diseases in the disease of thy bowels, vntill thy bowels fall out for the disease, day by day.
16 Saa opvakte Herren imod Joram Filisternes Aand og de Arabers, som bo ved Siden af Morianerne.
So the Lord stirred vp against Iehoram the spirite of the Philistims, and the Arabians that were beside the Ethiopians.
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 came vp into Iudah, and brake into it, and caryed away all the substance that was found in the Kings house, and his sonnes also, and his wiues, so that there was not a sonne left him, saue Iehoahaz, the yongest of his sonnes.
18 Og efter alt dette plagede Herren ham i hans Indvolde med Smerte, saa at der var ingen Lægedom.
And after all this, the Lord smote him in his 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 in processe of time, euen after the end of two yeeres, his guttes fell out with his disease: so he dyed of sore diseases: and his people made no burning for him like the burning 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.
When he began to reigne, he was two and thirtie yeere olde, and reigned in Ierusalem eight yeere, and liued without being desired: yet they buryed him in the citie of Dauid, but not among the sepulchres of the Kings.
