Anden Krønikebog 32
1 Efter disse Handeler og denne Troskab kom Senakerib, Kongen af Assyrien, og drog ind i Juda og lejrede sig imod de faste Stæder og tænkte at rive dem til sig.
After these things faithfully described, Saneherib King of Asshur came and entred into Iudah, and besieged the strong cities, and thought to winne them for him selfe.
2 Der Ezekias saa, at Senakerib kom, og at hans Hu var til Krig imod Jerusalem,
When Hezekiah sawe that Saneherib was come, and that his purpose was to fight against Ierusalem,
3 da raadførte han sig med sine Øverster og sine vældige om at tilstoppe Vandet fra Kilderne, som vare uden for Staden; og de hjalp ham.
Then he tooke counsell with his princes and his nobles, to stoppe the water of the fountaines without the citie: and they did helpe him.
4 Thi meget Folk samlede sig og tilstoppede alle Kilder og den Bæk, som flød midt igennem Landet, og han sagde: Hvorfor skulde Assyriens Konger komme og finde meget Vand?
So many of the people assembled themselues, and stopt all the fountaines, and the riuer that ranne through the middes of the countrey, saying, Why should the Kings of Asshur come, and finde much water?
5 Og han tog Mod til sig og byggede den ganske Mur, som var nedreven, og førte den op indtil Taarnene og en anden Mur der udenfor; og han befæstede Millo i Davids Stad og lod gøre Vaaben i Mangfoldighed og Skjolde.
And he tooke courage, and built all the broken wall, and made vp the towers, and another wall without, and repayred Millo in the citie of Dauid, and made many dartes and shields.
6 Og han satte Krigsøverster over Folket og samlede dem til sig paa Pladsen ved Stadens Port og talte kærligt med dem og sagde:
And he set captaines of warre ouer the people, and assembled them to him in the broade place of the gate of the citie, and spake comfortably vnto them, saying,
7 Værer frimodige og værer stærke, frygter ikke og ræddes ikke for Kongen af Assyrien, ej heller for hele den Hob, som er med ham; thi der er en større med os end med ham.
Be strong and couragious: feare not, neither be afraide for the King of Asshur, neither for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with vs, then is with him.
8 Med ham er en kødelig Arm, men med os er Herren vor Gud, som vil hjælpe os og stride i vore Krige; og Folket forlod sig fast paa Ezekias, Judas Konges, Ord.
With him is an arme of flesh, but with vs is the Lord our God for to helpe vs, and to fight our battels. Then the people were confirmed by the wordes of Hezekiah King of Iudah.
9 Derefter sendte Senakerib, Kongen af Assyrien, sine Tjenere til Jerusalem, medens han laa for Lakis med hele sit Riges Magt, til Ezekias, Judas Konge, og til al Juda, som var i Jerusalem, og lod sige:
After this, did Saneherib King of Asshur send his seruants to Ierusalem (while he was against Lachish, and all his dominion with him) vnto Hezekiah King of Iudah and vnto all Iudah that were at Ierusalem, saying,
10 Saa siger Senakerib, Kongen af Assyrien: Hvorpaa forlade I eder, at I blive i Jerusalem under en Belejring?
Thus saith Saneherib the King of Asshur, Wherein doe ye trust, that ye will remaine in Ierusalem, during the siege?
11 Tilskynder ikke Ezekias eder for at give eder hen til at dø af Hunger og af Tørst og siger: Herren vor Gud skal fri os af Kongen af Assyriens Haand?
Doeth not Hezekiah entice you to giue ouer your selues vnto death by famine and by thirst, saying, The Lord our God shall deliuer vs out of the hande of the King of Asshur?
12 Er det ikke Ezekias, som har borttaget hans Høje og hans Altre og sagt til Juda og til Jerusalem: I skulle tilbede for et eneste Alter og derpaa gøre Røgelse?
Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his hie places and his altars, and commanded Iudah and Ierusalem, saying, Ye shall worshippe before one altar, and burne incense vpon it?
13 Vide I ikke, hvad jeg og mine Fædre have gjort ved alle Folk i Landene? Kunde vel Hedningernes Guder i Landene fri deres Land fra min Haand?
Knowe ye not what I and my fathers haue done vnto all the people of other countreyes? were the gods of the nations of other landes able to deliuer their land out of mine hande?
14 Hvo iblandt alle Guderne hos disse Hedninger, hvilke mine Fædre have bandlyst, var den, som kunde fri sit Folk fra min Haand, saa at eders Gud skulde kunne fri eder fra min Haand?
Who is he of al the gods of those natios (that my fathers haue destroied) that could deliuer his people out of mine hande? that your God should be able to deliuer you out of mine hand?
15 Saa lader nu Ezekias ikke bedrage eder og ikke tilskynde eder paa denne Maade, og tror ham ikke; thi ingen Gud hos noget Folk eller Rige har kunnet fri sit Folk fra min Haand og fra mine Fædres Haand; hvor meget mindre skulde eders Guder fri eder fra min Haand?
Nowe therefore let not Hezekiah deceiue you, nor seduce you after this sort, neither beleeue ye him: for none of all the gods of any nation or kingdome was able to deliuer his people out of mine hande and out of the hande of my fathers: howe much lesse shall your gods deliuer you out of mine hande?
16 Tilmed talte hans Tjenere ydermere imod Gud Herren og imod hans Tjener Ezekias.
And his seruants spake yet more against the Lord God, and against his seruant Hezekiah.
17 Han skrev og Breve for at forhaane Herren, Israels Gud, og at tale imod ham, sigende: Ligesom Guderne hos Hedningerne i Landene ikke friede deres Folk fra min Haand, saaledes skal ikke heller Ezekias's Gud fri sit Folk fra min Haand.
He wrote also letters, blaspheming the Lord God of Israel and speaking against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other countreies could not deliuer their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliuer his people out of mine hande.
18 Og de raabte med høj Røst paa jødisk til Jerusalems Folk, som var paa Muren, for at gøre dem frygtagtige og forfærde dem, for at de kunde indtage Staden.
Then they cryed with a loude voyce in the Iewes speach vnto the people of Ierusalem that were on the wall, to feare them and to astonish them, that they might take the citie.
19 Og de talte om Jerusalems Gud ligesom om Jordens Folks Guder, der ere Menneskens Hænders Gerning.
Thus they spake against the God of Ierusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, euen the workes of mans hands,
20 Men Kong Ezekias og Esajas, Amoz's Søn, Profeten, bade angaaende denne Sag, og de raabte til Himmelen.
But Hezekiah the King, and the Prophet Isaiah the sonne of Amoz prayed against this and cryed to heauen.
21 Og Herren sendte en Engel, og han tilintetgjorde alle de vældige til Strid og Fyrsterne og de Øverste i Kongen af Assyriens Lejr; og denne drog tilbage til sit Land med sit Ansigts Blusel, og der han gik ind i sin Guds Hus, da fældede de, som vare udkomne af hans Liv, ham der med Sværd.
And the Lord sent an Angel which destroyed all the valiant men, and the princes and captaines of the hoste of the King of Asshur: so he returned with shame to his owne lande. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came foorth of his owne bowels, slewe him there with the sworde.
22 Saa frelste Herren Ezekias og Indbyggerne i Jerusalem fra Senakeribs, Kongen af Assyriens, Haand og fra alles Haand og beskærmede dem trindt omkring.
So the Lord saued Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem from the hande of Saneherib King of Asshur, and from the hande of all other, and maintained them on euery side.
23 Og mange bragte Gaver til Herren til Jerusalem og dyrebar Skænk til Ezekias, Judas Konge, saa at denne derefter kom til at staa højt i alle Hedningernes Øjne.
And many brought offrings vnto the Lord to Ierusalem, and presents to Hezekiah King of Iudah, so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thencefoorth.
24 I de samme Dage blev Ezekias dødssyg, og han bad til Herren, og denne talte til ham og gav ham et underfuldt Tegn.
In those dayes Hezekiah was sicke vnto the death, and prayed vnto the Lord, who spake vnto him, and gaue him a signe.
25 Men Ezekias gengældte ikke den Velgerning, som var bevist ham, thi hans Hjerte ophøjede sig; derfor kom en Vrede over ham og over Juda og Jerusalem.
But Hezekiah did not render according to the rewarde bestowed vpon him: for his heart was lift vp, and wrath came vpon him, and vpon Iudah and Ierusalem.
26 Dog ydmygede Ezekias sig, efter at hans Hjerte havde ophøjet sig, han og Indbyggerne i Jerusalem; derfor kom Herrens Vrede ikke over dem i Ezekias's Dage.
Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled him selfe (after that his heart was lifted vp) he and the inhabitants of Ierusalem, and the wrath of the Lord came not vpon them in the dayes of Hezekiah.
27 Og Ezekias havde saare stor Rigdom og Ære, og han gjorde sig Skatkamre til Sølv og Guld og kostbare Stene og vellugtende Urter og Skjolde og alle Haande kostelige Redskaber
Hezekiah also had exceeding much riches and honour, and he gate him treasures of siluer, and of golde, and of precious stones, and of sweete odours, and of shieldes, and of all pleasant vessels:
28 og Forraadshuse til, hvad der kom ind af Korn og Most og Olie, og Stalde for alle Haande Kvæg og skaffede sig Hjorde til Staldene.
And of store houses for the increase of wheat and wine and oyle, and stalles for all beasts, and rowes for the stables.
29 Og han byggede sig Stæder og havde Fæ af smaat og stort Kvæg i Mangfoldighed; thi Gud gav ham saare meget Gods.
And he made him cities, and had possession of sheepe and oxen in abundance: for God had giuen him substance exceeding much.
30 Og denne Ezekias tilstoppede ogsaa det øverste Vandløb fra Gihon og ledede det ned, Vest for Davids Stad; og Ezekias var lykkelig i al sin Gerning.
This same Hezekiah also stopped the vpper water springs of Gihon, and led them streight vnderneath towarde the citie of Dauid Westwarde. so Hezekiah prospered in all his workes.
31 Men det skete saa, da der var sendt Tolke til ham fra Fyrsterne i Babel for at spørge om det underfulde Tegn, som var sket i Landet, da forlod Gud ham for at forsøge ham og for at kende alt det, som var i hans Hjerte.
But because of the ambassadours of the princes of Babel, which sent vnto him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the lande, God left him to trie him, and to knowe all that was in his heart.
32 Men det øvrige af Ezekias's Handeler og hans fromme Gerninger, se, de Ting ere skrevne i Profeten Esajas's, Amoz's Søns Syn, i Judas og Israels Kongers Bog.
Concerning the rest of the actes of Hezekiah, and his goodnesse, beholde, they are written in the vision of Ishiah the Prophet, the sonne of Amoz, in the booke of the Kings of Iudah and Israel.
33 Og Ezekias laa med sine Fædre, og de begrove ham oven for Davids Børns Grave; og det ganske Juda og Jerusalems Indbyggere beviste ham Ære i hans Død, og hans Søn Manasse blev Konge i hans Sted.
So Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the highest sepulchre of the sonnes of Dauid: and all Iudah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem did him honour at his death: and Manasseh his sonne reigned in his stead.
