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 Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, in the city of David, —and Jehoram his son reigned in his steed.
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.
Now, he, had brethren, sons of Jehoshaphat—Azariah and Jehiel and Zechariah and Azariah, and Michael and Shephatiah, —all these, were sons of Jehoshaphat 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 gave them large presents—of silver and of gold and of precious things, with cities of defence, in Judah, —but, the kingdom, gave he unto Jehoram, 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.
But, when Jehoram had arisen over the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren, with the sword, —moreover also some of the rulers of Israel.
5 Joram var to og tredive Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede otte Aar i Jerusalem.
Thirty-two years old, was Jehoram when he began to reign, —and, eight years, reigned he 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, like as did the house of Ahab, for, the daughter of Ahab, had he, to wife, —so he wrought wickedness, in the eyes of Yahweh.
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 Yahweh was not willing to destroy the house of David, because of the covenant which he had solemnised, unto David, —and as he had promised to give unto him a lamp, and unto his sons, all the days.
8 I hans Dage faldt Edom af fra Judas Herredømme, og de satte en Konge over sig.
In his days, revolted the Edomites, from under the hand of Judah, —and set over themselves a king.
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.
So Jehoram passed over, with his captains, and all his chariot, with him, -and it came to pass that he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites that were round about unto him, and the chariot-captains.
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.
So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah—unto this day. Then, must Libnah needs revolt at the same time, from under his hand, —because he had forsaken Yahweh, the 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.
He too, made high places among the mountains of Judah, —and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to be unchaste, and seduced Judah.
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;
Then came there unto him, a writing, from Elijah the prophet, saying, —Thus, saith Yahweh, God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa, king of Judah;
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 caused Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to be unchaste, after the unchastities of the house of Ahab, —moreover also, thine own brethren of the house of thy father who were better than thou, hast thou slain,
14 Se, derfor skal Herren slaa dit Folk og dine Børn og dine Hustruer og alt dit Gods med stor Plage
lo! Yahweh, is about to plague, with a great plague, thy people, -and thy children and thy wives, and all thy possessions;
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.
also, thyself, with sore diseases, with disease of thy bowels, -until thy bowels shall fall out, by reason of the disease, in a year added to a year.
16 Saa opvakte Herren imod Joram Filisternes Aand og de Arabers, som bo ved Siden af Morianerne.
And Yahweh stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and the Arabians, who were under the direction of 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 up against Judah, and forced their way into it, and carried off all the possessions that were found belonging to the house of the king, moreover also his sons and his wives, —so that there was left him never a son, save only Jehoahaz 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 this, Yahweh plagued 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 it came to pass, in a year beyond a year, even when the end of the days of two years had passed, that his bowels fell out by reason of his disease, so that he died, of, malignant disease, —and his people made him no burning, 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.
Thirty-two years old, was he when he began to reign, and, eight years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and went his way—unregretted, and, though they buried him in the city of David, yet, not in the sepulchres of the kings.
