Anden Krønikebog 28
1 Akas var tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede seksten Aar i Jerusalem og gjorde ikke det, som var ret for Herrens Øjne som David hans Fader.
Achaz was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as David his father.
2 Men han vandrede i Israels Kongers Veje, tilmed gjorde han støbte Billeder for Baalerne.
But he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, for he made graven images.
3 Og han gjorde Røgelse i Hinnoms Søns Dal og brændte sine Sønner i Ilden efter de Hedningers Vederstyggeligheder, hvilke Herren havde fordrevet fra Israels Børns Ansigt.
And [he sacrificed] to their idols in the valley of Benennom, and passed his children through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.
4 Tilmed ofrede han og gjorde Røgoffer paa de høje Steder og paa Højene og under alle grønne Træer.
And he burnt incense upon the high places, and upon the roofs, and under every shady tree.
5 Derfor gav Herren hans Gud ham i Kongen af Syriens Haand, saa at de sloge ham og bortførte en stor Hob af hans Folk som Fanger og bragte dem til Damaskus; og han blev ogsaa given i Kongen af Israels Haand, og denne slog ham med et stort Slag.
And the Lord his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and he smote him, and took captive of them a great band of prisoners, and carried him to Damascus. Also [God] delivered him into the hands of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter.
6 Thi Peka, Remaljas Søn, ihjelslog i Juda hundrede og tyve Tusinde paa een Dag, alle vaabendygtige Folk, fordi de forlode Herren, deres Fædres Gud.
And Phakee the son of Romelias king of Israel, slew in Juda in one day a hundred and twenty thousand mighty men; because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers.
7 Og Sikri, en vældig Mand af Efraim, ihjelslog Maeseja, Kongens Søn, og Asrikam, Forstanderen for Huset, og Elkana, den anden efter Kongen.
And Zechri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maasias the king's son, and Ezrican the chief of his house, and Elcana the king's deputy.
8 Og Israels Børn førte af deres Brødre to Hundrede Tusinde, Kvinder, Sønner og Døtre bort som Fanger og røvede tilmed meget Bytte fra dem, og de førte Byttet til Samaria.
And the children of Israel took captive of their brethren three hundred thousand, women, and sons, and daughters, and they spoiled them of much property, and brought the spoils to Samaria.
9 Og her var der en Herrens Profet, hvis Navn var Oded, og han gik ud imod den Hær, som kom til Samaria, og sagde til dem: Se, efterdi Herrens, eders Fædres Guds, Fortørnelse var over Juda, gav han dem i eders Haand; men I have hugget ned iblandt dem i Vrede; den er naaet indtil Himmelen.
And there was there a prophet of the Lord, his name [was] Oded: and he went out to meet the host that were coming to Samaria, and said to them, Behold, the wrath of the Lord God of your fathers [is] upon Juda, and he has delivered them into your hands, and ye have slain them in wrath, and it has reached even to heaven.
10 Og nu sige I, at I ville Undertvinge Judas Børn og Jerusalem til at være eders Trælle og Trælkvinder; have ikke I, netop I, Skyld for Herren eders Gud?
And now ye talk of keeping the children of Juda and Jerusalem for servants and handmaidens. Lo, am I not with you to testify for the Lord your God?
11 Saa hører mig nu og sender de fangne tilbage, som I have bortført fra eders Brødre; thi Herrens strenge Vrede er over eder.
And now hearken to me, and restore the prisoners of your brethren whom ye have taken: for the fierce anger of the Lord [is] upon you.
12 Da stode nogle Mænd af de Øverste iblandt Efraims Børn, nemlig Asaria, Johanans Søn, Berekia, Mesillemoths Søn, og Jehiskias, Sallums Søn, og Amasa, Hadlajs Søn, op imod dem, som kom fra Hæren.
And the chiefs of the sons of Ephraim rose up, Udias the son of Joanas, and Barachias the son of Mosolamoth, and Ezekias the son of Sellem, and Amasias the son of Eldai, against those that came from the war,
13 Og de sagde til dem: I skulle ikke føre de fangne herind; thi til Skyld over os for Herren tænke I at forøge vore Synder og vor Skyld; thi vi have megen Skyld paa os, og der er streng Vrede over Israel.
and said to them, Ye shall not bring in hither the prisoners to us, for whereas sin against the Lord [is] upon us, ye mean to add to our sins, and to our trespass: for our sin [is] great, and the fierce anger of the Lord [is] upon Israel.
14 Da gave de bevæbnede Slip paa Fangerne og paa Byttet for deres Øversters og den ganske Forsamlings Ansigt.
So the warriors left the prisoners and the spoils before the princes and all the congregation.
15 Da stode de Mænd, som ere nævnede ved Navn, op og toge de fangne, og alle nøgne iblandt dem klædte de af Byttet, ja, de klædte dem og gave dem Sko paa og gave dem at æde og gave dem at drikke og salvede dem, og alle skrøbelige førte de paa Asenerne, og de bragte dem til Jeriko, til Palmestaden til deres Brødre, og de vendte tilbage til Samaria.
And the men who were called by name rose up, and took hold of the prisoners, and clothed all the naked from the spoils, and gave them garments and shoes, and gave them [food] to eat, and [oil] to anoint themselves [with], and they helped also every one that was weak with asses, and placed them in Jericho, the city of palm-trees, with their brethren; and they returned to Samaria.
16 Paa den samme Tid sendte Kong Akas til Kongerne af Assyrien, at de skulde hjælpe ham.
At that time king Achaz sent to the king of Assyria to help him, and on this occasion,
17 Fremdeles vare og Edomiterne komne og havde slaget Juda og ført nogle fangne bort.
because the Idumeans had attacked [him], and smitten Juda, and taken a number of prisoners.
18 Tilmed vare Filisterne faldne ind i Stæderne i Lavlandet og imod Sønden i Juda og havde indtaget Beth-Semes og Ajalon og Gederoth og Soko og dens tilliggende Byer og Thimna og dens tilliggende Byer og Gimso og dens tilliggende Byer, og de boede der.
Also the Philistines had made an attack on the cities of the plain country, and the cities of the south of Juda, and taken Baethsamys, and [the things in the house of the Lord, and the things in the house of the king, and of the princes: and they gave to the king] Aelon, and Galero, and Socho and her villages, and Thamna and her villages, and Gamzo and her villages: and they dwelt there.
19 Thi Herren havde ydmyget Juda for Akas's, Israels Konges, Skyld, fordi han havde bragt Tøjlesløshed) i Juda og forgrebet sig saare imod Herren.
For the Lord humbled Juda because of Achaz king of Juda, because he grievously departed from the Lord.
20 Og Tilgath-Pilneser, Kongen af Assyrien, kom til ham, og han ængstede ham, men styrkede ham ikke.
And there came against him Thalgaphellasar king of Assyria, and he afflicted him.
21 Thi Akas tog en Del fra Herrens Hus og fra Kongens Hus og fra Fyrsternes, og han gav Kongen af Assyrien det, men det hjalp ham intet.
And Achaz took the things [that were] in the house of the Lord, and the things in the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave them to the king of Assyria: but he was no help to him,
22 Ja, paa den Tid denne ængstede ham, da blev han ved at forgribe sig imod Herren; saadan var Kong Akas.
but only [troubled him] in his affliction: and he departed yet more from the Lord, and king Achaz said,
23 Thi han ofrede til Damaskus's Guder, som havde slaget ham, og sagde: Efterdi Syriens Kongers Guder have hjulpet dem, da vil jeg ofre til dem, at de og maa hjælpe mig; men de vare ham og al Israel til Fald.
I will seek after the gods of Damascus that smite me. And he said, Forasmuch as the gods of the king of Syria themselves strengthen them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, and they will help me. But they became a stumbling-block to him, and to all Israel.
24 Og Akas samlede Guds Hus's Kar og sønderbrød Guds Hus's Kar og lukkede Dørene paa Herrens Hus og gjorde sig Altre i hvert Hjørne af Jerusalem.
And Achaz removed the vessels of the house of the Lord, and cut them in pieces, and shut the doors of the house of the Lord, and made to himself altars in every corner in Jerusalem:
25 Og i alle Stæder i Juda gjorde han Høje til at gøre Røgelse for andre Guder, og han opirrede Herren, sine Fædres Gud.
and in each several city in Juda he made high places to burn incense to strange gods: and they provoked the Lord God of their fathers.
26 Men det øvrige af hans Handeler og alle hans Veje, de første og de sidste, se, de Ting ere skrevne i Judas og Israels Kongers Bog.
And the rest of his acts, and his deeds, the first and the last, behold, [they are] written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
27 Og Akas laa med sine Fædre, og de begrove ham i Staden Jerusalem, men de bragte ham ikke ind i Israels Kongers Grave; og hans Søn Ezekias blev Konge i hans Sted.
And Achaz slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David; for they did not bring him into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Ezekias his son reigned in his stead.
