< Anden Krønikebog 33 >

1 Manasse var tolv Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede fem og halvtredsindstyve Aar i Jerusalem.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, efter de Hedningers Vederstyggeligheder, som Herren havde fordrevet for Israels Børns Ansigt.
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, like the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel.
3 Thi han opbyggede igen de Høje, som Ezekias, hans Fader, havde nedbrudt, og oprejste Altre til Baalerne og gjorde Astartebilleder og tilbad al Himmelens Hær og tjente dem.
And he built again the high places that Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars to the Baals, and made Asherahs, and worshipped all the host of heaven and served them.
4 Og han byggede Altre i Herrens Hus, om hvilke Herren havde sagt: I Jerusalem skal mit Navn være evindelig.
And he built altars in the house of Jehovah, of which Jehovah had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
5 Tilmed byggede han Altre til hele Himmelens Hær i begge Forgaardene til Herrens Hus.
And he built altars to all the host of heaven in both courts of the house of Jehovah.
6 Og han lod sine Sønner gaa igennem Ilden i Hinnoms Søns Dal og var en Dagvælger og agtede paa Fugleskrig og brugte Trolddom og beskikkede Spaamænd og Tegnsudlæggere, han gjorde meget ondt for Herrens Øjne til at opirre ham.
He also caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he used magic and divination and sorcery, and appointed necromancers and soothsayers: he wrought evil beyond measure in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
7 Han satte og et udskaaret Billede, som han lod gøre, i Guds Hus, om hvilket Gud havde sagt til David og til Salomo, hans Søn: I dette Hus og i Jerusalem, som jeg har udvalgt fremfor alle Israels Stammer, vil jeg sætte mit Navn evindelig.
And he set the graven image of the idol that he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever;
8 Og jeg vil ikke mere lade Israels Fod fortrænges fra Landet, som jeg bestemte for deres Fædre; kun saafremt de tage Vare paa at gøre alt det, jeg har budet dem, efter hele Loven og Skikkene og Budene ved Mose.
neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land that I have appointed to your fathers; if they will only take heed to do all that I commanded them through Moses, according to all the law and the statutes and the ordinances.
9 Men Manasse forførte Juda og Indbyggerne i Jerusalem til at handle værre end Hedningerne, som Herren havde ødelagt for Israels Børns Ansigt.
And Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray, to do more evil than the nations that Jehovah had destroyed from before the children of Israel.
10 Og Herren talte til Manasse og til hans Folk; men de gave ikke Agt derpaa.
And Jehovah spoke to Manasseh and to his people; but they did not hearken.
11 Derfor lod Herren Kongen af Assyriens Hærførere komme over dem, og de grebe Manasse iblandt Tornebuskene, og de bandt ham med to Kobberlænker og førte ham til Babel.
And Jehovah brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh with fetters, and bound him with chains of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
12 Og der han kom i Angest, bad han ydmygelig for Herren sin Guds Ansigt og ydmygede sig saare for sine Fædres Guds Ansigt.
And when he was in affliction, he besought Jehovah his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
13 Ja, han bad til ham, og Gud bønhørte ham og hørte hans ydmyge Begæring og førte ham tilbage til Jerusalem, til hans Rige; da kendte Manasse, at Herren var Gud.
and prayed to him. And he was intreated of him and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Jehovah, he was God.
14 Og derefter byggede han den yderste Mur for Davids Stad, Vesten for Gihon i Dalen, og hen til Fiskeporten, og han førte den omkring Ofel og gjorde den saare høj; og han lagde Stridshøvedsmænd i alle Judas faste Stæder.
And after this he built the outer wall of the city of David, on the west, toward Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance of the fish-gate, and carried it round Ophel, and raised it up a very great height; and he put captains of war in all the fortified cities of Judah.
15 Og han borttog de fremmede Guder og hint Billede fra Herrens Hus og alle Altrene, som han havde bygget paa Herrens Hus's Bjerg og i Jerusalem, og han kastede dem uden for Staden.
And he removed the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of Jehovah, and all the altars that he had built on the mount of the house of Jehovah and in Jerusalem, and cast [them] out of the city.
16 Og han istandsatte Herrens Alter og ofrede derpaa Takofre og Lovofre; og han sagde til Juda, at de skulde tjene Herren, Israels Gud.
And he reinstated the altar of Jehovah, and sacrificed on it peace-offerings and thank-offerings, and commanded Judah to serve Jehovah the God of Israel.
17 Dog ofrede Folket endnu paa Højene, men kun til Herren deres Gud.
Nevertheless, the people sacrificed still on the high places, although to Jehovah their God only.
18 Men det øvrige af Manasses Handeler og hans Bøn til hans Gud og de Seeres Taler, som talte til ham i Herren Israels Guds Navn, se, dette er skrevet i Israels Kongers Krønike.
And the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of Jehovah the God of Israel, behold, they [are written] in the acts of the kings of Israel.
19 Og hans Bøn, og at han blev bønhørt, og al hans Synd og Forgribelse og de Steder, paa hvilke han byggede Højene og satte Astartebilleder og udskaarne Billeder, førend han blev ydmyget; se, dette er skrevet i Seernes Krønike.
And his prayer, and [how God] was intreated of him, and all his sin and his unfaithfulness, and the places in which he built high places, and set up Asherahs and graven images, before he was humbled, behold, they are written among the words of Hozai.
20 Og Manasse laa med sine Fædre, og de begrove ham i hans Hus, og hans Søn Amon blev Konge i hans Sted.
And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house; and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
21 Amon var to og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede to Aar i Jerusalem.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, ligesom Manasse, hans Fader, havde gjort, og til alle de udskaarne Billeder, som Manasse, hans Fader, havde gjort, ofrede Amon og tjente dem.
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had done; and Amon sacrificed to all the graven images that Manasseh his father had made, and served them.
23 Men han ydmygede sig ikke for Herrens Ansigt, som hans Fader Manasse havde ydmyget sig; thi denne Amon gjorde Skylden mangfoldig.
And he did not humble himself before Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; for he, Amon, multiplied trespass.
24 Og hans Tjenere gjorde et Forbund imod ham og dræbte ham i hans Hus.
And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
25 Men Folket i Landet slog alle dem ihjel, som havde gjort Forbund imod Kong Amon, og Folket i Landet gjorde Josias, hans Søn, til Konge i hans Sted.
But the people of the land smote all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
