Anden Kongebog 14
1 I Israels Konge Joas's, Joahas's Søns, andet Aar blev Amazia, Joas's, Judas Konges Søn, Konge.
In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, has reigned;
2 Han var fem og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede ni og tyve Aar i Jerusalem; og hans Moders Navn var Joadan fra Jerusalem.
he was a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jehoaddan of Jerusalem,
3 Og han gjorde ret for Herrens Øjne, dog ikke som David, hans Fader; han gjorde efter alt det, som Joas, hans Fader, gjorde.
and he does that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH, only not like his father David; he has done according to all that his father Joash did,
4 Dog bleve Højene ikke borttagne; Folket ofrede og gjorde Røgelse endnu paa Højene.
only, the high places have not been removed—the people are still sacrificing and making incense in high places.
5 Og det skete, der Riget blev befæstet i hans Haand, da ihjelslog han sine Tjenere, som havde ihjelslaget Kongen, hans Fader.
And it comes to pass, when the kingdom has been strong in his hand, that he strikes his servants, those striking his father the king,
6 Men Mordernes Børn dræbte han ikke, som skrevet er i Moses Lovbog, som Herren bød og sagde: Forældre skulle ikke dødes for Børnenes Skyld, og Børnene ikke dødes for Forældrenes Skyld, men hver skal dødes for sin Synds Skyld.
and the sons of those striking [him] he has not put to death, as it is written in the Scroll of the Law of Moses that YHWH commanded, saying, “Fathers are not put to death for sons, and sons are not put to death for fathers, but each is put to death for his own sin.”
7 Han slog ti Tusinde af Edom i Saltdalen og indtog Sela i samme Krig og kaldte dens Navn Jokthel indtil denne Dag.
He has struck ten thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt, and seized Selah in war, and [one] calls its name Joktheel to this day,
8 Da sendte Amazia Bud til Joas, en Søn af Joahas, Jehus Søn, Kongen i Israel, og lod sige: Kom og lader os se hinandens Ansigt!
then Amaziah has sent messengers to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, we look one another in the face.”
9 Men Joas, Israels Konge, sendte til Amazia, Judas Konge, og lod sige: Tornebusken, som er paa Libanon, sendte til Cedertræet, som er paa Libanon, og lod sige: Giv min Søn din Datter til Hustru; men vilde Dyr paa Marken, som vare paa Libanon, gik over og nedtraadte Tornebusken.
And Jehoash king of Israel sends to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thorn that [is] in Lebanon has sent to the cedar that [is] in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son for a wife; and a beast of the field that [is] in Lebanon passes by, and treads down the thorn.
10 Du har jo slaget Edom, og dit Hjerte gør dig hovmodig; behold din Ære, og bliv i dit Hus; hvi søger du Ulykke, at du skal falde, du og Juda med dig?
You have certainly struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up; be honored, and abide in your house; and why do you stir yourself up in evil, that you have fallen, you and Judah with you?”
11 Men Amazia vilde ikke høre; saa drog Joas, Israels Konge, op, og de saa hinandens Ansigt, han og Amazia, Judas Konge, i Beth-Semes, som hører til Juda.
And Amaziah has not listened, and Jehoash king of Israel goes up, and they look one another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, in Beth-Shemesh, that [is] Judah’s,
12 Men Juda blev slagen for Israels Ansigt, og de flyede hver til sit Telt.
and Judah is struck before Israel, and they each flee to his tent.
13 Og Joas, Israels Konge, fangede Amazia, Judas Konge, en Søn af Joas, Ahasias Søn, i Beth-Semes; og han kom til Jerusalem og nedrev af Jerusalems Mur fra Efraims Port indtil Hjørneporten et Stykke paa fire Hundrede Alen.
And Jehoash king of Israel caught Amaziah king of Judah, son of Jehoash, son of Ahaziah, in Beth-Shemesh, and they come to Jerusalem, and he bursts through the wall of Jerusalem, at the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits,
14 Og han tog alt Guldet og Sølvet og alle Karrene, som fandtes i Herrens Hus og i Kongens Hus's Skatkamre, tilmed Børn som Gidsler, og vendte tilbage til Samaria.
and has taken all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that are found in the house of YHWH, and in the treasures of the house of the king, and the sons of the pledges, and turns back to Samaria.
15 Men det øvrige af Joas's Handeler, hvad han gjorde og hans Vælde, og hvorledes han stred imod Amazia, Judas Konge, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Israels Kongers Krønikers Bog?
And the rest of the matters of Jehoash that he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

19 Og de indgik et Forbund imod ham i Jerusalem, og han flyede til Lakis; men de sendte efter ham til Lakis og dræbte ham der.
And they make a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he flees to Lachish, and they send after him to Lachish, and put him to death there,

In the fifteenth year of Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, Jeroboam son of Joash, king of Israel, has reigned in Samaria, forty-one years,
24 Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne; han veg ikke fra nogen af Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Synder, som han kom Israel til at synde med.
and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH; he has not turned aside from all the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that he caused Israel to sin.
25 Han indtog igen Israels Landemærke fra Hamath af indtil Havet ved den slette Mark efter Herren Israels Guds Ord, som han talte ved sin Tjener Jona, Amithajs Søn, den Profet, som var fra Gath-Hefer.
He has brought back the border of Israel, from the entering in of Hamath to the sea of the desert, according to the word of YHWH, God of Israel, that He spoke by the hand of His servant Jonah son of Amittai the prophet, who [is] of Gath-Hepher,
26 Thi Herren saa Israels Elendighed, som var saare bitter, ja at baade den bundne var intet, og den løsladte var intet, og at der var ingen Hjælper for Israel.
for YHWH has seen the very bitter affliction of Israel, and there is none restrained, and there is none left, and there is no helper for Israel;

and YHWH has not spoken to blot out the name of Israel from under the heavens, and saves them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Joash.
