Anden Krønikebog 28
1 Akaz var tyve Aar gammel da han blev Konge, og han herskede seksten Aar i Jerusalem. Han gjorde ikke, hvad der var ret i HERRENS Øjne, som hans Fader David,
A son of twenty years [is] Ahaz in his reigning, and sixteen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he hath not done that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, as David his father,
2 men vandrede i Israels Kongers Spor Ja, han lod lave støbte Billeder til Ba'alerne;
and walketh in the ways of the kings of Israel, and also, molten images hath made for Baalim,
3 han tændte selv Offerild i Hinnoms Søns Dal og lod sine Sønner gaa igennem Ilden efter de Folks vederstyggelige Skik, som HERREN havde drevet bort foran Israeliterne.
and himself hath made perfume in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burneth his sons with fire according to the abominations of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel,
4 Han ofrede og tændte Offerild paa Offerhøjene og de høje Steder og under alle grønne Træer.
and sacrificeth and maketh perfume in high places, and on the heights, and under every green tree.
5 Derfor gav HERREN hans Gud ham i Arams Konges Haand, og de slog ham og tog mange af hans Folk til Fange og førte dem til Darmaskus. Ligeledes blev han givet i Israels Konges Haand, og denne tilføjede ham et stort Nederlag.
And Jehovah his God giveth him into the hand of the king of Aram, and they smite him, and take captive from him a great captivity, and bring [them] in to Damascus, and also into the hand of the king of Israel he hath been given, and he smiteth him — a great smiting.
6 Peka, Remaljas Søn, dræbte i Juda 120 000 Mennesker paa een Dag, lutter dygtige Krigsfolk, fordi de havde forladt HERREN, deres Fædres Gud.
And Pekah son of Remaliah slayeth in Judah a hundred and twenty thousand in one day (the whole [are] sons of valour), because of their forsaking Jehovah, God of their fathers.
7 Den efraimitiske Helt Zikri dræbte Kongesønnen Ma'aseja, Paladsøversten Azrikam og Elkana, den ypperste næst Kongen.
And Zichri, a mighty one of Ephraim, slayeth Maaseiah son of the king, and Azrikam leader of the house, and Elkanah second to the king.
8 Israeliterne bortførte fra deres Brødre 200 000 Hustruer, Sønner og Døtre som Fanger og fratog dem et stort Bytte, som de førte til Samaria.
And the sons of Israel take captive of their brethren, two hundred thousand, wives, sons and daughters, and also much spoil they have seized from them, and they bring in the spoil to Samaria.
9 Her boede en HERRENS Profet ved Navn Oded; han gik Hæren i Møde, da den kom til Samaria, og sagde til dem: »Fordi HERREN, eders Fædres Gud, var vred paa Juda, gav han dem i eders Haand; men I har anrettet et Blodbad iblandt dem med et Raseri, der naar til Himmelen!
And there hath been there a prophet of Jehovah (Oded [is] his name), and he goeth out before the host that hath come in to Samaria, and saith to them, 'Lo, in the fury of Jehovah God of your fathers against Judah, He hath given them into your hand, and ye slay among them in rage — unto the heavens it hath come;
10 Og nu tænker I paa at faa Magten over Folkene fra Juda og Jerusalem og gøre dem til eders Trælle og Trælkvinder! Har I da ikke ogsaa selv nok paa Samvittigheden over for HERREN eders Gud!
and now, sons of Judah and Jerusalem ye are saying to subdue for men-servants and for maid-servants to you; but are there not with you causes of guilt before Jehovah your God?
11 Lyd derfor mig og send de Fanger tilbage, som I har gjort blandt eders Brødre, thi HERRENS glødende Vrede er over eder!«
and now, hear me, and send back the captives whom ye have taken captive of your brethren, for the heat of the anger of Jehovah [is] upon you.'
12 Da traadte nogle af Efraimiternes Overhoveder, Azarja, Johanans Søn, Berekja, Mesjillemots Søn, Hizkija, Sjallums Søn, og Amasa, Hadlajs Søn, frem for de hjemvendte Krigere
And certain of the heads of the sons of Ephraim (Azariah son of Johanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai), rise up against those coming in from the host,
13 og sagde til dem: »I maa ikke bringe Fangerne herhen! Thi I har i Sinde at øge vore Synder og vor Skyld ud over den Skyld, vi har over for HERREN; thi stor er vor Skyld, og glødende Vrede er over Israel!«
and say to them, 'Ye do not bring in the captives hither, for, to guilt against Jehovah on us, ye are saying to add unto our sin and unto our guilt? for abundant [is] the guilt we have, and the fierceness of anger on Israel.'
14 Da gav de væbnede Slip paa Fangerne og Byttet i Øversternes og hele Forsamlingens Paasyn;
And the armed men leave the captives and the prey before the heads and all the assembly;
15 og de ovenfor nævnte Mænd stod op og tog sig af Fangerne, gav alle de nøgne iblandt dem Klæder af Byttet, forsynede dem med Klæder og Sko, gav dem Mad og Drikke, salvede dem, lod dem, der ikke kunde gaa, ride paa Æsler og bragte dem til Jeriko, Palmestaden, hen i Nærheden af deres Brødre; derpaa vendte de tilbage til Samaria.
and the men who have been expressed by name rise and take hold on the captives, and all their naked ones they have clothed from the spoil, yea, they clothe them, and shoe them, and cause them to eat and drink, and anoint them, and lead them on asses, even every feeble one, and bring them in to Jericho, the city of palms, near their brethren, and turn back to Samaria.
16 Paa den Tid sendte Kong Akaz Assyrerkongen Bud om Hjælp.
At that time hath king Ahaz sent unto the king of Asshur to give help to him;
17 Tilmed trængte Edomiterne ind og slog Judæerne og slæbte Krigsfanger bort.
and again the Edomites have come, and smite in Judah, and take captive a captivity.
18 Og Filisterne faldt ind i Lavlandets Byer og den judæiske Del af Sydlandet og indtog Bet-Sjemesj, Ajjalon, Gederot, Soko med Smaabyer, Timna med Smaabyer og Gimzo med Smaabyer og bosatte sig der.
And the Philistines have rushed against the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and capture Beth-Shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho and its villages, and Timnah and its villages, and Gimzo and its villages, and dwell there,
19 Thi HERREN ydmygede Juda for Kong Akaz af Judas Skyld, fordi han havde ladet Tøjlesløshed opkomme i Juda og været troløs mod HERREN.
for Jehovah hath humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he made free with Judah, even to commit a trespass against Jehovah.
20 Men Assyrerkongen Tillegat-Pilneser drog imod ham og bragte ham i Nød i Stedet for at hjælpe ham;
And Tilgath-Pilneser king of Asshur cometh in unto him, and doth distress him, and hath not strengthened him,
21 thi Akaz plyndrede HERRENS Hus, og Kongens Palads og Øversternes Palads og gav det til Assyrerkongen, men det hjalp ham intet.
though Ahaz hath taken a portion [out] of the house of Jehovah, and [out] of the house of the king, and of the princes, and giveth to the king of Asshur, yet it is no help to him.
22 Og selv da Assyrerkongen bragte ham i Nød, var Kong Akaz paa ny troløs mod HERREN;
And in the time of his distress — he addeth to trespass against Jehovah, (this king Ahaz),
23 han ofrede til Darmaskus's Guder, som havde slaaet ham, idet han sagde: »Aramæerkongernes Guder har jo hjulpet dem; til dem vil jeg ofre, at de ogsaa maa hjælpe mig!« Men de blev ham og hele Israel til Fald.
and he sacrificeth to the gods of Damascus — those smiting him, and saith, 'Because the gods of the kings of Aram are helping them, to them I sacrifice, and they help me,' and they have been to him to cause him to stumble, and to all Israel.
24 Ogsaa samlede Akaz Karrene i Guds Hus og slog dem i Stykker; og han lukkede HERRENS Hus's Porte og lavede sig Altre ved hvert et Hjørne i Jerusalem;
And Ahaz gathereth the vessels of the house of God, and cutteth in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shutteth the doors of the house of Jehovah, and maketh to himself altars in every corner in Jerusalem.
25 og i hver eneste By i Juda indrettede han Offerhøje for at tænde Offerild for fremmede Guder; saaledes krænkede han HERREN, sine Fædres Gud.
And in every city and city of Judah he hath made high places to make perfume to other gods, and provoketh Jehovah, God of his fathers.
26 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om ham og hele hans Færd fra først til sidst, staar jo optegnet i Bogen om Judas og Israels Konger.
And the rest of his matters, and all his ways, the first and the last, lo, they are written on the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
27 Saa lagde Akaz sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og man jordede ham i Jerusalem, inde i Byen, thi man vilde ikke jorde ham i Israels Kongegrave; og hans Søn Ezekias blev Konge i hans Sted.
And Ahaz lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the city, in Jerusalem, but have not brought him in to the graves of the kings of Israel, and reign doth Hezekiah his son in his stead.
