Anden Kongebog 17
1 Idet tolvte Akas's, Judas Konges, Aar blev Hosea, Elas Søn, Konge i Samaria over Israel i ni Aar.
In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.
2 Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, dog ikke som Israels Konger, som vare før ham.
And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
3 Salmanasser, Kongen af Assyrien, drog op imod ham; og Hosea blev hans Tjener og gav ham Skænk.
Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents.
4 Men Kongen af Assyrien saa et Forbund deri, at Hosea havde sendt Bud til So, Kongen af Ægypten, og ikke bragt Skat til Kongen af Assyrien Aar for Aar; da satte Kongen af Assyrien ham fast og lagde ham bunden i et Fængsel.
And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, as [he had done] year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.
5 Thi Kongen af Assyrien drog op i det ganske Land og drog op til Samaria og belejrede den i tre Aar.
Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
6 I Hoseas niende Aar indtog Kongen af Assyrien Samaria og førte Israel bort til Assyrien; og han lod dem bo i Hala og i Habor ved Floden Gosan og i Medernes Stæder.
In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor [by] the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
7 Og det skete, fordi Israels Børn havde syndet imod Herren deres Gud, som havde ført dem op af Ægyptens Land, fra at være under Faraos, Kongen af Ægyptens, Magt, og fordi de frygtede andre Guder;
For [so] it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,
8 og de vandrede i de Hedningers Skikke, hvilke Herren havde fordrevet for Israels Børns Ansigt, og i dem, som Israels Konger havde indført;
And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.
9 og Israels Børn skjulte Ting, som ikke var ret for Herren deres Gud og byggede sig Høje i alle Stæder, fra Vogternes Taarn indtil hver fast Stad;
And the children of Israel did secretly [those] things that [were] not right against the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
10 og de oprejste sig Støtter og Astartebilleder paa hver ophøjet Høj og under hvert grønt Træ;
And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree:
11 og de gjorde Røgelse der paa alle Højene ligesom Hedningerne, hvilke Herren havde bortført fra deres Ansigt, og de gjorde onde Ting til at opirre Herren;
And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as [did] the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:
12 og de tjente de stygge Afguder, om hvilke Herren havde sagt til dem: I skulle ikke gøre denne Ting;
For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.
13 og Herren lod vidne i Israel og i Juda ved alle sine Profeter, alle Seere, sigende: Vender om fra eders onde Veje og holder mine Bud, mine Skikke, efter den hele Lov, som jeg bød eders Fædre, og efter det, som jeg sendte til eder om ved mine Tjenere, Profeterne;
Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, [and by] all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments [and] my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.
14 men de havde ikke været lydige, men de forhærdede deres Nakke, ligesom deres Fædres Nakke, de, som ikke troede paa Herren deres Gud;
Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God.
15 tilmed forkastede de hans Skikke og hans Pagt, som han havde gjort med deres Fædre, og hans Vidnesbyrd, som han havde vidnet for dem, og de vandrede efter Forfængelighed og bleve forfængelige, og efter Hedningerne, der vare trindt omkring dem, om hvilke Herren havde budet dem, at de ikke skulde gøre som de;
And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that [were] round about them, [concerning] whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.
16 ja de forlode alle Herren deres Guds Bud og gjorde sig støbte Billeder, to Kalve, og de gjorde Astartebilleder og tilbade al Himmelens Hær og tjente Baal;
And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, [even] two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.
17 og de lode deres Sønner og deres Døtre gaa igennem Ilden og omgikkes med Spaadom og agtede paa Fugleskrig og solgte sig til at gøre det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, for at opirre ham: —
And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
18 derfor blev Herren saare vred paa Israel og bortdrev dem fra sit Ansigt; der blev ingen tilovers uden Judas Stamme alene.
Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.
19 Heller ikke Juda holdt Herrens, deres Guds, Bud; men de vandrede efter Israels Skikke, som de havde indført.
Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.
20 Saa forkastede Herren al Israels Sæd og plagede dem og gav dem i Røveres Hænder, indtil han havde bortstødt dem fra sit Ansigt.
And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.
21 Thi Israel havde revet sig løs fra Davids Hus, og de gjorde Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, til Konge; og Jeroboam drog Israel bort fra Herren og kom dem til at synde en stor Synd.
For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.
22 Og Israels Børn vandrede i alle Jeroboams Synder, som han gjorde; de vege ikke derfra,
For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;
23 indtil Herren bortdrev Israel fra sit Ansigt, saaledes som han havde sagt ved alle sine Tjenere, Profeterne; saa blev Israel bortført fra sit Land til Assyrien indtil denne Dag.
Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.
24 Og Kongen af Assyrien lod komme Folk af Babel og af Kut og af Ava og af Hamath og Sefarvajm og lod dem bo i Samarias Stæder, i Israels Børns Sted, og de indtoge Samaria til Ejendom og boede i dens Stæder.
And the king of Assyria brought [men] from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed [them] in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
25 Og det skete, der de begyndte at bo der, at de ikke frygtede Herren; da sendte Herren Løver iblandt dem, og disse sønderreve nogle af dem.
And [so] it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, [that] they feared not the LORD: therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which slew [some] of them.
26 Derfor sagde de til Kongen af Assyrien: De Hedninger, som du lod forflytte og bo i Samarias Stæder, kende ikke, hvad der er ret imod Landets Gud; derfor sendte han Løver iblandt dem, og se, disse sønderreve dem, fordi de ikke kende, hvad der er ret imod Landets Gud.
Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
27 Da bød Kongen af Assyrien og sagde: Fører en af de Præster derhen, som I bortførte derfra, og lader ham drage hen og bo der, at han kan lære dem, hvad der er ret imod Landets Gud.
Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.
28 Saa kom en af Præsterne, som de havde bortført fra Samaria, og boede i Bethel og lærte dem, hvorledes de skulde frygte Herren.
Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Beth-el, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.
29 Men hvert Folk gjorde sig sin Gud, og de satte dem i Husene paa de Høje, som Samaritanerne gjorde, hvert Folk i sine Stæder, hvori de boede.
Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put [them] in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.
30 Thi de Mænd af Babel havde gjort Sukoth-Benoth, og de Mænd af Kut havde gjort Nergal, og de Mænd af Hamath havde gjort Asima,
And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
31 og de al Ava havde gjort Nibhas og Tharthak, og de af Sefarvajm opbrændte deres Sønner i Ilden for Adramelek og Anamelek, Sefarvajms Guder.
And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
32 De frygtede ogsaa Herren og gjorde sig i Flæng Præster paa Højene og gjorde Offer for dem i Husene paa Højene.
So they feared the LORD, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
33 De frygtede Herren, og de tjente deres Guder efter de Hedningers Vis, som de vare bortførte fra.
They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.
34 De gøre efter den første Vis, indtil denne Dag; de frygte ikke Herren, ej heller gøre de efter deres Skikke og efter deres Befalinger og efter Loven og efter Budet, som Herren bød Jakobs Børn, hvis Navn han kaldte Israel;
Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;
35 og Herren gjorde en Pagt med dem og bød dem, sigende: I skulle ikke frygte andre Guder og ikke tilbede dem og ikke tjene dem og ikke ofre til dem.
With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:
36 Men Herren, som førte eder op af Ægyptens Land med stor Kraft og med en udrakt Arm, ham skulle I frygte, og ham skulle I tilbede og ofre til.
But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.
37 Og I skulle holde de Skikke og Befalinger og Loven og Budet, som han lod skrive for eder, at gøre derefter alle Dage; men I skulle ikke frygte andre Guder.
And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods.
38 Og I skulle ikke forglemme den Pagt, som jeg gjorde med eder, og ikke frygte andre Guder.
And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods.
39 Men I skulle frygte Herren eders Gud, og han skal fri eder fra alle eders Fjenders Haand.
But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
40 Dog, de hørte ikke; men de gjorde efter deres første Vis.
Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.
41 Saa frygtede disse Hedninger Herren og tjente deres Billeder; ogsaa deres Børn og deres Børnebørn, efter som deres Fædre gjorde, saa gøre de indtil denne Dag.
So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children’s children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.
