Anden Krønikebog 35
1 Og Josias holdt Paaske for Herren i Jerusalem, og de slagtede Paaskelam paa den fjortende Dag i den første Maaned.
Moreover Josiah kept a passover unto the LORD in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
2 Og han beskikkede Præsterne til det, de skulde varetage, og styrkede dem til deres Tjeneste i Herrens Hus.
And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the LORD,
3 Og han sagde til Leviterne, som underviste al Israel om de hellige Ting for Herren: Sætter den hellige Ark i Huset, som Salomo, Davids Søn, Israels Konge, har bygget; I have ingen Byrde at bære paa Skuldre, tjener nu Herren eders Gud og hans Folk Israel,
And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the LORD your God, and his people Israel,
4 og bereder eder efter eders Fædrenehuse, efter eders Skifter, som det er foreskrevet af David, Israels Konge, og foreskrevet af Salomo, hans Søn;
And prepare yourselves by the houses of your fathers, after your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.
5 og staar i Helligdommen efter Afdelingerne af Fædrenehusene iblandt eders Brødre, Folkets Børn, og efter hver Afdeling af Fædrenes Huse iblandt Leviterne;
And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families of the Levites.
6 og slagter Paaskelam, helliger eder og bereder det for eders Brødre, idet I gøre efter Herrens Ord ved Mose.
So kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
7 Og Josias gav Folkets Børn smaat Kvæg, Lam og Kid, alt sammen til Paaske for alle dem, som vare til Stede, efter Tallet tredive Tusinde, og tre Tusinde Øksne; disse bleve givne af Kongens Gods.
And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover offerings, for all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of the king's substance.
8 Ogsaa gave hans Fyrster en frivillig Gave til Folket, til Præsterne og til Leviterne, nemlig Hilkia og Sakaria og Jehiel, Øverster i Guds Hus, gave Præsterne to Tusinde og seks Hundrede Stykker smaat Kvæg til Paaske og tre Hundrede Øksne.
And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small cattle and three hundred oxen.
9 Men Kanania og Semaja og Nethaneel, hans Brødre, ligeledes Hasabia og Jehiel og Josabad, Leviternes Øverster, gave fem Tusinde Stykker smaat Kvæg til Paaske og fem Hundrede Øksne.
Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for passover offerings five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.
10 Saa blev Tjenesten beredet; og Præsterne stode paa deres Sted, og Leviterne efter deres Skifter ifølge Kongens Befaling,
So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the king's commandment.
11 og disse slagtede Paaskelammene, og Præsterne stænkede med Blodet, som de modtoge af deres Hænder, og Leviterne flaaede Lammene.
And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hands, and the Levites flayed them.
12 Og de skilte Brændofferet derfra, at de kunde give det til Afdelingerne af Fædrenehusene iblandt Folkets Børn for at ofre det til Herren, som der er skrevet i Mose Bog; og ligervis med Øksnene.
And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer unto the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen.
13 Og de stegte Paaskelammet ved Ilden paa sædvanlig Vis, men det, som var helliget, kogte de i Gryder og i Kedler og i Pander, og de sendte det i Hast til alle Folkets Børn.
And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance: but the other holy offerings cook they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the people.
14 Og derefter tilberedte de for sig og for Præsterne; thi Præsterne, Arons Børn, havde Brændofferet og Fedtstykkerne at ofre indtil Natten; derfor tilberedte Leviterne for sig og for Præsterne, Arons Børn.
And afterward they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering of burnt offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.
15 Og Sangerne, Asafs Børn, stode paa deres Sted efter Davids og Asafs og Hemans og Jeduthuns, Kongens Seeres, Bud og Portnerne ved hver Port; de maatte ikke vige fra deres Tjeneste, thi deres Brødre Leviterne tilberedte for dem.
And the singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; and the porters waited at every gate; they might not depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.
16 Saa blev al Herrens Tjeneste beskikket paa samme Dag med at holde Paaske og at ofre Brændofre paa Herrens Alter efter Kong Josias Befaling.
So all the service of the LORD was prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt offerings upon the altar of the LORD, according to the commandment of king Josiah.
17 Saa holdt Israels Børn, som vare til Stede, Paasken paa den samme Tid og de usyrede Brøds Højtid syv Dage.
And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
18 Og der var ikke holdt Paaske som denne i Israel fra Profeten Samuels Dage af, og ingen Konge i Israel havde holdt saadan Paaske, som Josias holdt med Præsterne og Leviterne og hele Juda og Israel, som vare til Stede, og Indbyggerne i Jerusalem.
And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
19 I det attende Josias's Regerings Aar blev denne Paaske holdt.
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept.
20 Efter alt dette, da Josias havde istandsat Huset, drog Neko, Kongen af Ægypten, op at stride ved Karkemis ved Frat, og Josias drog ud imod ham.
After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Charchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him.
21 Da sendte han Bud til ham og lod sige: Hvad har jeg at gøre med dig, Judas Konge? imod dig kommer jeg ikke paa denne Dag, men imod det Hus, som har Krig med mig, og Gud har sagt, at jeg skulde haste; hold op med at være imod Gud, som er med mig, at han ikke lægger dig øde!
But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with you, you king of Judah? I come not against you this day, but against the house wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear you from meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy you not.
22 Dog vendte Josias ikke sit Ansigt bort fra ham, men forklædte sig for at stride imod ham og lød ikke Nekos Ord, som vare fra Guds Mund, men han kom at stride i Megiddo Dal.
Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.
23 Og Skytterne skøde paa Kong Josias; da sagde Kongen til sine Tjenere: Fører mig bort, thi jeg er svarlig saaret.
And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded.
24 Og hans Tjenere førte ham bort fra Vognen og lode ham køre bort paa den anden Vogn, som han havde, og førte ham til Jerusalem, og han døde og blev begraven i sine Fædres Grave; og hele Juda og Jerusalem sørgede over Josias.
His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in one of the sepulchers of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
25 Og Jeremias sang en Klagesang over Josias, i lige Maade talte alle Sangerne og Sangerskerne i deres Klagesange om Josias indtil denne Dag, og de gjorde en Skik deraf i Israel; og se, de ere opskrevne iblandt Klagesangene.
And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and the singing women spoke of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they are written in the lamentations.
26 Men det øvrige at Josias's Handeler, og hans fromme Gerninger, eftersom skrevet er i Herrens Lov,
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness, according to that which was written in the law of the LORD,
27 ja hans Handeler, de første og de sidste, se, de ere skrevne i Israels og Judas Kongers Bog.
And his deeds, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
