Anden Kongebog 15

1 Idet syv og tyvende Jeroboams, Israels Konges, Aar blev Asaria, Amazias, Judas Konges, Søn, Konge.

In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam’s reign over Israel, Azariah son of Amaziah became king of Judah.

2 Han var seksten Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede to og halvtredsindstyve Aar i Jerusalem, og hans Moders Navn var Jekolia fra Jerusalem.

He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.

3 Og han gjorde det, som var ret for Herrens Øjne, efter alt det, som hans Fader Amazia gjorde.

And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Amaziah had done.

4 Dog kom Højene ikke bort; Folket ofrede endnu og gjorde Ragelse paa Højene.

Nevertheless, the high places were not taken away; the people continued sacrificing and burning incense there.

5 Og Herren slog Kongen, at han blev spedalsk indtil sin Dødsdag og boede udi et særskilt Hus; men Jotham, Kongens Søn, var over Huset og dømte Folket i Landet.

And the LORD afflicted the king with leprosy until the day he died, so that he lived in a separate house while his son Jotham had charge of the palace and governed the people of the land.

6 Men det øvrige af Asarias Handeler og alt, hvad han gjorde, er det ikke skrevet i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog?

As for the rest of the acts of Azariah, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

7 Og Asaria laa med sine Fædre, og de begavede ham hos hans Fædre i Davids Stad, og Jotham, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.

And Azariah rested with his fathers and was buried near them in the City of David. And his son Jotham reigned in his place.

8 Og i det otte og tredivte Asarias, Judas Konges, Aar blev Sakaria, Jeroboams Søn, Konge over Israel i Samaria seks Maaneder.

In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah’s reign over Judah, Zechariah son of Jeroboam became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria six months.

9 Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, ligesom hans Fædre gjorde, han veg ikke fra Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Synder, som han kom Israel til at synde med.

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers had done. He did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.

10 Og Sallum, Jabes's Søn, gjorde et Forbund imod ham og slog ham i Folkets Paasyn og dræbte ham og blev Konge i hans Sted.

Then Shallum son of Jabesh conspired against Zechariah, struck him down and killed him in front of the people, and reigned in his place.

11 Men det øvrige af Sakarias Handeler, se, de Ting ere skrevne i Israels Kongers Krønikers Bog.

As for the rest of the acts of Zechariah, they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

12 Dette er Herrens Ord, som han talte til Jehu, sigende: Dine Sønner i det fjerde Led skulle sidde paa Israels Trone; og det skete saa.

So the word of the LORD spoken to Jehu was fulfilled: “Four generations of your sons will sit on the throne of Israel.”

13 Sallum, Jabes's Søn, blev Konge i det ni og tredivte Usias, Judas Konges, Aar, og regerede en Maaneds Tid i Samaria.

14 Og Menahem, Gadis Søn, drog op fra Thirza og kom til Samaria og slog Sallum, Jabes's Søn, i Samaria og dræbte ham og blev Konge i hans Sted.

Then Menahem son of Gadi went up from Tirzah to Samaria, struck down and killed Shallum son of Jabesh, and reigned in his place.

15 Men det øvrige af Sallums Handeler og hans Forbund, som han indgik, se, de Ting ere skrevne i Israels Kongers Krønikers Bog.

As for the rest of the acts of Shallum, along with the conspiracy he led, they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

16 Da slog Menahem Thipsa og alle, som vare deri, og dens Landemærke, da han drog ud fra Thirza; fordi man ikke havde villet indlade ham, derfor slog han dem; alle de frugtsommelige derudi søndersled han.

At that time Menahem, starting from Tirzah, attacked Tiphsah and everyone in its vicinity, because they would not open their gates. So he attacked Tiphsah and ripped open all the pregnant women.

17 Og i det ni og tredivte Asarias, Judas Konges, Aar blev Menahem, Gadis Søn, Konge over Israel, ti Aar i Samaria.

In the thirty-ninth year of Azariah’s reign over Judah, Menahem son of Gadi became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria ten years.

18 Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, han veg ikke fra Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Synder, som han kom Israel til at synde med, alle sine Dage.

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and throughout his reign he did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.

19 Ful, Kongen af Assyrien, kom over Landet, og Menahem gav Ful tusinde Centner Sølv, at han skulde holde med ham og befæste Riget i hans Haand.

Then Pul king of Assyria invaded the land, and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver in order to gain his support and strengthen his own grip on the kingdom.

20 Og Menahem indkrævede det Sølv af Israel, af alle de formuende, til at give Kongen af Assyrien, nemlig halvtredsindstyve Sekel Sølv for hver Mand; saa drog Kongen af Assyrien tilbage og blev ikke der i Landet.

Menahem exacted this money from each of the wealthy men of Israel—fifty shekels of silver from each man—to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria withdrew and did not remain in the land.

21 Men det øvrige af Menahems Handeler og alt det, han gjorde, er det ikke skrevet i Israels Kongers Krønikers Bog?

As for the rest of the acts of Menahem, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

Then his officer, Pekah son of Remaliah, conspired against him along with Argob, Arieh, and fifty men of Gilead. And at the citadel of the king’s palace in Samaria, Pekah struck down and killed Pekahiah and reigned in his place.

26 Men det øvrige af Pekajas Handeler og alt det, han gjorde, se, de Ting ere skrevne i Israels Kongers Krønikers Bog.

As for the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, along with all his accomplishments, they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

In the days of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria came and captured Ijon, Abel-beth-maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, and Galilee, including all the land of Naphtali, and he took the people as captives to Assyria.

30 Og Hosea, Elas Søn, gjorde et Forbund imod Peka, Remalias Søn, og slog ham og dræbte ham og blev Konge i hans Sted, i det tyvende Jothams, Ussias Søns, Aar.

Then Hoshea son of Elah led a conspiracy against Pekah son of Remaliah. In the twentieth year of Jotham son of Uzziah, Hoshea attacked Pekah, killed him, and reigned in his place.

31 Men det øvrige af Pekas Handeler og alt det, han gjorde, se, de Ting ere skrevne i Israels Kongers Krønikers Bog.

As for the rest of the acts of Pekah, along with all his accomplishments, they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Uzziah had done.

35 Dog blev Højene ikke borttagne, Folket ofrede endnu og gjorde Røgelse paa Højene; han byggede den øverste Port paa Herrens Hus.

Nevertheless, the high places were not taken away; the people continued sacrificing and burning incense there. Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD.

36 Men det øvrige af Jothams Handeler og alt det, han gjorde, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog?

As for the rest of the acts of Jotham, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

(In those days the LORD began to send Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah against Judah.)
