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.
He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, after the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out 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.
For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he raised up altars for the Baals, made Asheroth, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.
4 Og han byggede Altre i Herrens Hus, om hvilke Herren havde sagt: I Jerusalem skal mit Navn være evindelig.
He built altars in Yahweh’s house, of which Yahweh said, “My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”
5 Tilmed byggede han Altre til hele Himmelens Hær i begge Forgaardene til Herrens Hus.
He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of Yahweh’s house.
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 made his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits and with wizards. He did much evil in Yahweh’s sight, 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.
He set the engraved image of the idol, which he had made, in God’s house, of which God 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, I will put my name forever.
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.
I will not any more remove the foot of Israel from off the land which I have appointed for your fathers, if only they will observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all the law, the statutes, and the ordinances given by Moses.”
9 Men Manasse forførte Juda og Indbyggerne i Jerusalem til at handle værre end Hedningerne, som Herren havde ødelagt for Israels Børns Ansigt.
Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than did the nations whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 Og Herren talte til Manasse og til hans Folk; men de gave ikke Agt derpaa.
Yahweh spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they didn’t listen.
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.
Therefore Yahweh brought on them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, bound him with fetters, 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.
When he was in distress, he begged Yahweh 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.
He prayed to him; and he was entreated by him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Yahweh 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.
Now after this, he built an outer wall to David’s city on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate. He encircled Ophel with it, and raised it up to a very great height; and he put valiant captains 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.
He took away the foreign gods and the idol out of Yahweh’s house, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of Yahweh’s house 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.
He built up Yahweh’s altar, and offered sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving on it, and commanded Judah to serve Yahweh, the God of Israel.
17 Dog ofrede Folket endnu paa Højene, men kun til Herren deres Gud.
Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places, but only to Yahweh their God.
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.
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, behold, they are written among 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.
His prayer also, and how God listened to his request, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places and set up the Asherah poles and the engraved images before he humbled himself: behold, they are written in the history 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.
So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house; and Amon his son reigned in his place.
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.
He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed to all the engraved images which 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.
He didn’t humble himself before Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more.
24 Og hans Tjenere gjorde et Forbund imod ham og dræbte ham i hans Hus.
His servants conspired against him, and put him to death 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 killed all those who had conspired against King Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.
