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 Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, began to reign.
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 twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was 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.
He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, yet not like David his father. He did everything that Joash, his father, had done.
4 Dog bleve Højene ikke borttagne; Folket ofrede og gjorde Røgelse endnu paa Højene.
But the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense at the high places.
5 Og det skete, der Riget blev befæstet i hans Haand, da ihjelslog han sine Tjenere, som havde ihjelslaget Kongen, hans Fader.
It came about that as soon as his rule was well established, he killed the servants who had murdered 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.
Yet he did not put the sons of the murderers to death; instead, he acted according to what was written in the Book of the Law Moses, as Yahweh had commanded, saying, “The fathers must not be put to death for their children, neither must the children be put to death for their parents. Instead, every person must be 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 killed ten thousand soldiers of Edom in the Valley of Salt; he also took Sela in war and called it Joktheel, which is what it is called 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 sent messengers to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us meet each other face to face in battle.”
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.
But Jehoash the king of Israel sent messengers back to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “A thistle that was in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, 'Give your daughter to my son for a wife,' but a wild beast in Lebanon walked by and trampled down the thistle.
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 indeed attacked Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Take pride in your victory, but stay at home, for why should you cause yourself trouble and fall, both 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.
But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel attacked and he and Amaziah king of Judah met each other face to face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
12 Men Juda blev slagen for Israels Ansigt, og de flyede hver til sit Telt.
Judah was defeated by Israel, and every man fled home.
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.
Jehoash king of Israel, captured Amaziah, king of Judah son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh. He came to Jerusalem and tore down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits in distance.
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.
He took all the gold and silver, all the objects that were found in the house of Yahweh, and the valuable things in the king's palace, with hostages also, and returned 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?
As for the other matters concerning Jehoash, all that he did, his power, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
16 Og Joas laa med sine Fædre og blev begraven i Samaria hos Israels Konger, og hans Søn Jeroboam blev Konge i hans Sted.
Then Jehoash slept with his ancestors and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel, and Jeroboam, his son, became king in his place.
17 Og Amazia, Joas's Søn, Judas Konge, levede efter Joas's, Joahas's Søns, Israels Konges, Død femten Aar.
Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, lived fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
18 Men det øvrige af Amazias Handeler, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog?
As for the other matters concerning Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?
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.
They made a conspiracy against Amaziah in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. He fled to Lachish, but they sent men after him to Lachish and killed him there.
20 Og de førte ham paa Heste, og han blev begraven i Jerusalem hos sine Fædre i Davids Stad.
They brought him back on horses, and he was buried with his ancestors in the city of David.
21 Og alt Judas Folk tog Asaria, men han var seksten Aar gammel, og de gjorde ham til Konge i hans Fader Amazias Sted.
All the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
22 Han byggede Elath og bragte den igen til Juda, efter at Kongen laa hos sine Fædre.
It was Azariah who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah, after King Amaziah slept with his ancestors.
23 I Amazias, Joas's Søns, Judas Konges, femtende Aar blev Jeroboam, en Søn af Israels Konge Joas, Konge i Samaria, et og fyrretyve Aar.
In the fifteenth year of Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam son of Jehoash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria; he reigned 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.
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh. He did not depart from any of the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had 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 restored the border of Israel from Lebo Hamath to the Sea of the Arabah, following the commands of the word of Yahweh, the God of Israel, which he had spoken through his servant Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet, who was from 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 Yahweh saw the suffering of Israel, that it was very bitter for everyone, both slave and free, and that there was no rescuer for Israel.
27 Og Herren havde ikke sagt, at han vilde udslette Israels Navn under Himmelen; men han frelste dem ved Jeroboams, Joas's Søns, Haand.
So Yahweh said that he would not blot out the name of Israel under heaven; instead, he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash.
28 Men det øvrige af Jeroboams Handeler og alt det, som han gjorde, og hans Vælde, hvorledes han stred, og at han bragte Damaskus og Hamath, som havde tilhørt Juda, tilbage til Israel, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Israels Kongers Krønikers Bog?
As for the other matters concerning Jeroboam, all that he did, his power, how he waged war and recovered Damascus and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
29 Og Jeroboam laa med sine Fædre, med Israels Konger, og hans Søn Sakaria blev Konge i hans Sted.
Jeroboam slept with his ancestors, with the kings of Israel, and Zechariah his son became king in his place.
