< 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.
A son of twenty years [is] Ahaz in his reigning, and sixteen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he hath not done that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, as David his father,
2 Men han vandrede i Israels Kongers Veje, tilmed gjorde han støbte Billeder for Baalerne.
and walketh in the ways of the kings of Israel, and also, molten images hath made for Baalim,
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 himself hath made perfume in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burneth his sons with fire according to the abominations of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel,
4 Tilmed ofrede han og gjorde Røgoffer paa de høje Steder og paa Højene og under alle grønne Træer.
and sacrificeth and maketh perfume in high places, and on the heights, 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.
And Jehovah his God giveth him into the hand of the king of Aram, and they smite him, and take captive from him a great captivity, and bring [them] in to Damascus, and also into the hand of the king of Israel he hath been given, and he smiteth him — a great smiting.
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 son of Remaliah slayeth in Judah a hundred and twenty thousand in one day (the whole [are] sons of valour), because of their forsaking Jehovah, 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 one of Ephraim, slayeth Maaseiah son of the king, and Azrikam leader of the house, and Elkanah 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 sons of Israel take captive of their brethren, two hundred thousand, wives, sons and daughters, and also much spoil they have seized from them, and they bring in 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.
And there hath been there a prophet of Jehovah (Oded [is] his name), and he goeth out before the host that hath come in to Samaria, and saith to them, 'Lo, in the fury of Jehovah God of your fathers against Judah, He hath given them into your hand, and ye slay among them in rage — unto the heavens it hath come;
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, sons of Judah and Jerusalem ye are saying to subdue for men-servants and for maid-servants to you; but are there not with you causes of guilt before 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 whom ye have taken captive of your brethren, for the heat of the anger 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 sons of Ephraim (Azariah son of Johanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai), rise up against those coming in from the host,
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 say to them, 'Ye do not bring in the captives hither, for, to guilt against Jehovah on us, ye are saying to add unto our sin and unto our guilt? for abundant [is] the guilt we have, and the fierceness of anger on Israel.'
14 Da gave de bevæbnede Slip paa Fangerne og paa Byttet for deres Øversters og den ganske Forsamlings Ansigt.
And the armed men leave the captives and the prey before the heads and all the assembly;
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 have been expressed by name rise and take hold on the captives, and all their naked ones they have clothed from the spoil, yea, they clothe them, and shoe them, and cause them to eat and drink, and anoint them, and lead them on asses, even every feeble one, and bring them in to Jericho, the city of palms, near their brethren, and turn back to Samaria.
16 Paa den samme Tid sendte Kong Akas til Kongerne af Assyrien, at de skulde hjælpe ham.
At that time hath king Ahaz sent unto the king of Asshur to give help to him;
17 Fremdeles vare og Edomiterne komne og havde slaget Juda og ført nogle fangne bort.
and again the Edomites have come, and smite in Judah, and take captive a captivity.
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 have rushed against the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and capture Beth-Shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho and its villages, and Timnah and its villages, and Gimzo and its villages, and dwell 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 hath humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he made free with Judah, even to commit a trespass 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 Asshur cometh in unto him, and doth distress him, and hath not strengthened 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.
though Ahaz hath taken a portion [out] of the house of Jehovah, and [out] of the house of the king, and of the princes, and giveth to the king of Asshur, yet it is 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 distress — he addeth to trespass 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 sacrificeth to the gods of Damascus — those smiting him, and saith, 'Because the gods of the kings of Aram are helping them, to them I sacrifice, and they help me,' and they have been to him to cause him to stumble, 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 Ahaz gathereth the vessels of the house of God, and cutteth in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shutteth the doors of the house of Jehovah, and maketh 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 every city and city of Judah he hath made high places to make perfume to other gods, and provoketh Jehovah, 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 matters, and all his ways, the first and the last, lo, they are written on 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 lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the city, in Jerusalem, but have not brought him in to the graves of the kings of Israel, and reign doth Hezekiah his son in his stead.
