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.
Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And he did not what was right in the sight of Jehovah, like David his father,
2 Men han vandrede i Israels Kongers Veje, tilmed gjorde han støbte Billeder for Baalerne.
but walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and even made molten images for the Baals;
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 burned incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burned his sons in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed 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 sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, and on the hills, and under every green 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.
Therefore Jehovah his God gave him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also given into the hand 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 Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah a hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all valiant men, because they had forsaken Jehovah the 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 Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah the second to the king.
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 carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took away also much spoil from them, and brought the spoil 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.
But a prophet of Jehovah was there, whose name was Oded; and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because Jehovah the God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he gave them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that reaches up 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 think to subjugate the children of Judah and Jerusalem as your bondmen and bondwomen. Are there not with you, even with you, trespasses against Jehovah 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 hear me, and send back the captives again, whom ye have taken captive of your brethren; for the fierce wrath of Jehovah 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 certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Hezekiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against them 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 the captives hither; because, for our guilt before Jehovah, ye think to increase our sins and our trespasses: for our trespass is great, and fierce wrath is upon Israel.
14 Da gave de bevæbnede Slip paa Fangerne og paa Byttet for deres Øversters og den ganske Forsamlings Ansigt.
Then the armed men left the captives and the spoil 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 that have been expressed by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them on asses, and brought them to Jericho the city of palm-trees, to 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 Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him.
17 Fremdeles vare og Edomiterne komne og havde slaget Juda og ført nogle fangne bort.
And again the Edomites came and smote Judah, and carried away captives.
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.
And the Philistines invaded the cities of the lowland, and of the south of Judah, and took Beth-shemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Socho and its dependent villages, and Timnah and its dependent villages, and Guimzo and its dependent 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 Jehovah humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he had made Judah lawless, and transgressed much against Jehovah.
20 Og Tilgath-Pilneser, Kongen af Assyrien, kom til ham, og han ængstede ham, men styrkede ham ikke.
And Tilgath-Pilneser king of Assyria came to him, and troubled him, and did not support 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.
For Ahaz stripped the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king and of the princes, and gave to the king of Assyria; but he was of 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.
And in the time of his trouble he transgressed yet more against Jehovah, this king Ahaz.
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.
And he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which had smitten him; and he said, Since the gods of the kings of Syria help them, I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of 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 Ahaz gathered the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and closed the doors of the house of Jehovah, and he made for himself altars in every corner of 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 every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked to anger Jehovah the God of his 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 all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah 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 Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem; but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel. And Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
