Anden Krønikebog 24
1 Joas var syv Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede fyrretyve Aar i Jerusalem, og hans Moders Navn var Zibna fra Beersaba.
Joash was seven years old when he began to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zibiah, of Beersheba.
2 Og Joas gjorde det, som var ret for Herrens Øjne, i alle Præsten Jojadas Dage.
Joash did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
3 Og Jojada tog ham to Hustruer, og han avlede Sønner og Døtre.
Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he became the father of sons and daughters.
4 Og det skete derefter, at det laa Joas paa Hjerte at forny Herrens Hus.
It happened after this, that Joash intended to restore the house of Jehovah.
5 Og han samlede Præsterne og Leviterne og sagde til dem: Drager ud til Judas Stæder og samler Penge ind af al Israel til at udbedre eders Guds Hus Aar for Aar, og I skulle skynde eder med Gerningen; men Leviterne skyndte sig ikke.
He gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, "Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather money to repair the house of your God from all Israel from year to year. See that you expedite this matter." However the Levites did not do it right away.
6 Da kaldte Kongen ad Jojada, den Ypperstepræst, og sagde til ham: Hvorfor giver du ikke Agt paa Leviterne, at de fra Juda og Jerusalem bringe det Paalæg, som Mose, Herrens Tjener, og Israels Menighed har bestemt, ind til Vidnesbyrdets Paulun?
The king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, "Why haven't you required of the Levites to bring in the tax of Moses the servant of Jehovah, and of the assembly of Israel, out of Judah and out of Jerusalem, for the tent of the testimony?"
7 Thi under den ugudelige Athalia havde hendes Sønner gjort Brud paa Guds Hus; ja endog alt det, som var helliget til Herrens Hus, havde de anvendt til Baalerne.
For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up God's house; and they also gave all the dedicated things of the house of Jehovah to the Baals.
8 Da befalede Kongen, og de gjorde en Kiste, og de satte den udenfor i Herrens Hus's Port.
So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it outside at the gate of the house of Jehovah.
9 Og de lode udraabe i Juda og i Jerusalem, at de skulde bringe for Herren det Paalæg, som Mose, Guds Tjener, havde lagt paa Israel i Ørken.
They made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for Jehovah the tax that Moses the servant of God laid on Israel in the wilderness.
10 Da bleve alle Øverster og alt Folket glade, og de bragte det ind og lagde det i Kisten, indtil alt var kommet ind.
And all the leaders and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and threw it into the chest, until it was full.
11 Og det skete, naar man ved Leviterne bragte Kisten ind efter Kongens Befaling, og man da saa, at der var mange Penge i den, da kom Kongens Skriver og Ypperstepræstens Befalingsmand, og de tømte Kisten og bare den hen og satte den igen paa sit Sted; saa gjorde de Dag for Dag og samlede Penge i Mangfoldighed.
It was so, that whenever the chest was brought to the king's officers by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the chief priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
12 Og Kongen og Jojada gav dem til den, som havde at gøre med Gerningen i Herrens Hus's Tjeneste, og de lejede Stenhuggere og Tømmermænd til at fornye Herrens Hus, saa og Mestre til at arbejde i Jern og Kobber, til at udbedre Herrens Hus.
The king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of Jehovah; and they hired masons and carpenters to restore the house of Jehovah, and also such as worked iron and bronze to repair the house of Jehovah.
13 Saa arbejdede Folkene, og Udbedringen af det, der arbejdedes paa, gik frem ved deres Haand; og de satte Guds Hus i Stand efter dets Maal og gjorde det stærkt.
So the workmen worked, and the work of repairing went forward in their hands, and they set up God's house in its state, and strengthened it.
14 Og der de havde fuldendt det, bragte de de øvrige Penge frem for Kongens og Jojadas Ansigt, og for disse gjorde man Redskaber til Herrens Hus, Redskaber til Tjenesten og til at ofre, Røgelseskaaler og Guldkar og Sølvkar; og de ofrede stedse Brændofre i Herrens Hus alle Jojadas Dage.
When they had made an end, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, of which were made vessels for the house of Jehovah, even vessels with which to minister and to offer, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. They offered burnt offerings in the house of Jehovah continually all the days of Jehoiada.
15 Og Jojada blev gammel og mæt af Dage og døde; han var hundrede og tredive Aar gammel, der han døde.
But Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died; one hundred thirty years old was he when he died.
16 Og de begrove ham i Davids Stad iblandt Kongerne, fordi han havde gjort godt i Israel og imod Gud og hans Hus.
They buried him in the City of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house.
17 Men efter Jojadas Død kom de Øverste af Juda og nedbøjede sig for Kongen; da føjede Kongen dem.
Now after the death of Jehoiada the leaders of Judah came and paid homage to the king. And the king listened to them.
18 Saa forlode de Herrens, deres Fædres Guds, Hus og tjente Astartebillederne og Afguderne; og der kom en Vrede over Juda og Jerusalem for denne deres Syndeskyld.
They forsook the house of Jehovah, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherim and the idols: and wrath came on Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness.
19 Og han sendte Profeter til dem at omvende dem til Herren; og disse vidnede for dem, men de vilde ikke høre dem.
Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again to Jehovah; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.
20 Og Guds Aand iførte sig Sakaria, Præsten Jojadas Søn, og han stod oven over Folket og sagde til dem: Saa sagde Gud: Hvorfor overtræde I Herrens Bud? derfor skulle I ikke være lykkelige, thi I have forladt Herren, og han har forladt eder.
The Spirit of God came on Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said to them, "Thus says God, 'Why do you disobey the commandments of Jehovah, so that you can't prosper? Because you have forsaken Jehovah, he has also forsaken you.'"
21 Men de sammensvore sig imod ham og stenede ham med Stene, efter Kongens Bud, i Forgaarden til Herrens Hus.
They conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of Jehovah.
22 Og Kong Joas kom ikke den Miskundhed i Hu, som Jojada, hans Fader, havde gjort imod ham, men slog hans Søn ihjel; og der denne døde, sagde han: Herren skal se og hjemsøge det.
Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. When he died, he said, "May Jehovah look at it, and repay it."
23 Og det skete, der Aaret var omme, drog Syrernes Hær op imod ham, og de kom til Juda og Jerusalem og udryddede af Folket alle Folkets Øverster, og de sendte alt deres Rov til Kongen af Damaskus.
It happened at the end of the year, that the army of the Arameans came up against him. And they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the leaders of the people from among the people, and sent all their spoil to the king in Damascus.
24 Skønt Syrernes Hær kom med faa Mænd, gav Herren dog en saare stor Hær i deres Haand, fordi den havde forladt Herren, sine Fædres Gud; og de udførte Straffedommene over Joas.
For the army of the Arameans came with a small company of men; and Jehovah delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken Jehovah, the God of their fathers. So they executed judgment on Joash.
25 Og der de vare dragne fra ham, hvem de forlode i en svar Sygdom, indgik hans Tjenere et Forbund imod ham for Præsten Jojadas Sønners Blods Skyld, og de sloge ham ihjel paa hans Seng, og han døde; og de begrove ham i Davids Stad; men de begrove ham ikke i Kongernes Grave.
When they were departed for him (for they left him very sick), his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed, and he died; and they buried him in the City of David, but they did not bury him in the tombs of the kings.
26 Og de, som indgik Forbund imod ham, vare: Sabad, Simeaths den ammonitiske Kvindes Søn, og Josabad, Simriths den moabitiske Kvindes Søn.
These are those who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
27 Og hvad angaar hans Sønner og den svare Byrde, som var lagt paa ham, og Grundforbedringen af Guds Hus, se, om alt dette er skrevet i Kongernes Bogs Historie. Og hans Søn Amazia blev Konge i hans Sted.
Now concerning his sons, and the many oracles against him, and the rebuilding of God's house, look, they are written in the commentary of the book of the kings. Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
