Anden Krønikebog 30
1 Derpaa sendte Ezekias Bud til hele Israel og Juda og skrev desuden Breve til Efraim og Manasse om at komme til HERRENS Hus i Jerusalem for at fejre Paasken for HERREN, Israels Gud.
And Hezekiah sendeth unto all Israel and Judah, and also letters he hath written unto Ephraim and Manasseh, to come in to the house of Jehovah in Jerusalem, to make a passover to Jehovah, God of Israel.
2 Og Kongen, hans Øverster og hele Forsamlingen i Jerusalem raadslog om at fejre Paasken i den anden Maaned;
And the king taketh counsel, and his heads, and all the assembly in Jerusalem, to make the passover in the second month,
3 thi de kunde ikke fejre den med det samme, da Præsterne ikke havde helliget sig i tilstrækkeligt Tal, og Folket ikke var samlet i Jerusalem.
for they have not been able to make it at that time, for the priests have not sanctified themselves sufficiently, and the people have not been gathered to Jerusalem.
4 Kongen og hele Forsamlingen fandt det rigtigt;
And the thing is right in the eyes of the king, and in the eyes of all the assembly,
5 derfor vedtog de at lade et Opraab udgaa i hele Israel fra Be'ersjeba til Dan om at komme og fejre Paasken i Jerusalem for HERREN, Israels Gud, thi man havde ikke fejret den saa fuldtalligt som foreskrevet.
and they establish the thing, to cause to pass over an intimation into all Israel, from Beer-Sheba even unto Dan, to come in to make a passover to Jehovah, God of Israel, in Jerusalem, for not for a long time had they done as it is written.
6 Saa gik Ilbudene ud i hele Israel og Juda med Breve fra Kongens og hans Øversters Haand og sagde efter Kongens Befaling: »Israeliter! Vend tilbage til HERREN, Abrahams, Isaks og Israels Gud, at han maa vende sig til den Levning af eder, der er undsluppet Assyrerkongernes Haand.
And the runners go with letters from the hand of the king and his heads, into all Israel and Judah, even according to the command of the king, saying, 'O sons of Israel, turn back unto Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and He doth turn back unto the escaped part that is left of you from the hand of the kings of Asshur;
7 Vær ikke som eders Fædre og Brødre, der var troløse mod HERREN, deres Fædres Gud, hvorfor han gjorde dem til Rædsel, som I selv kan se.
and do not be like your fathers, and like your brethren, who trespassed against Jehovah, God of their fathers, and He giveth them to desolation, as ye do see.
8 Vær nu ikke halsstarrige som eders Fædre, men ræk HERREN Haanden og kom til hans Helligdom, som han har helliget til evig Tid, og tjen HERREN eders Gud, at hans glødende Vrede maa vende sig fra eder.
'Now, harden not your neck like your fathers, give a hand to Jehovah, and come in to His sanctuary, that He hath sanctified to the age, and serve Jehovah your God, and the fierceness of His anger doth turn back from you;
9 Thi naar I omvender eder til HERREN, skal eders Brødre og Sønner finde Barmhjertighed hos dem, der førte dem bort, og vende tilbage til dette Land. Thi HERREN eders Gud er naadig og barmhjertig og vil ikke vende sit Aasyn fra eder, naar I omvender eder til ham!«
for in your turning back unto Jehovah, your brethren and your sons have mercies before their captors, even to return to this land, for gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah your God, and He doth not turn aside the face from you, if ye turn back unto Him.'
10 Og Ilbudene gik fra By til By i Efraims og Manasses Land og lige til Zebulon, men man lo dem ud og haanede dem.
And the runners are passing over from city to city, in the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, even unto Zebulun: and they are laughing at them, and mocking at them,
11 Dog var der nogle i Aser, Manasse og Zebulon, der ydmygede sig og kom til Jerusalem;
only, certain from Asher, and Manasseh, and from Zebulun, have been humbled, and come in to Jerusalem.
12 ogsaa i Juda virkede Guds Haand, saa at han gav dem et endrægtigt Hjerte til at udføre, hvad Kongen og Øversterne havde paabudt i Kraft af HERRENS Ord.
Also, in Judah hath the hand of God been to give to them one heart to do the command of the king and of the heads, in the matter of Jehovah;
13 Saa samlede der sig i Jerusalem en Mængde Mennesker for at fejre de usyrede Brøds Højtid i den anden Maaned, en vældig Forsamling.
and much people are gathered to Jerusalem, to make the feast of unleavened things in the second month — a mighty assembly for multitude.
14 De gav sig til at fjerne de Altre, der var i Jerusalem; ligeledes fjernede de alle Røgelsekarrene og kastede dem ned i Kedrons Dal.
And they arise and turn aside the altars that [are] in Jerusalem, and all the perfume altars they have turned aside, and cast [them] to the brook Kidron;
15 Derpaa slagtede de Paaskelammet paa den fjortende Dag i den anden Maaned. Præsterne og Leviterne skammede sig og helligede sig og bragte Brændofre til HERRENS Hus;
and they slaughter the passover-offering on the fourteenth of the second month, and the priests and the Levites have been ashamed, and sanctify themselves, and bring in burnt-offerings to the house of Jehovah.
16 og de stillede sig paa deres Plads, som deres Pligt var efter den Guds Mand Moses's Lov; Præsterne sprængte Blodet, som de modtog af Leviterne.
And they stand on their station according to their ordinance; according to the law of Moses the man of God the priests are sprinkling the blood out of the hand of the Levites,
17 Thi mange i Forsamlingen havde ikke helliget sig; derfor slagtede Leviterne Paaskelammene for alle dem, der ikke var rene, for saaledes at hellige HERREN dem.
for many [are] in the assembly who have not sanctified themselves, and the Levites [are] over the slaughtering of the passover-offerings for every one not clean, to sanctify [him] to Jehovah:
18 Thi de fleste af Folket, især mange fra Efraim, Manasse, Issakar og Zebulon, havde ikke renset sig, men spiste Paaskelammet anderledes end foreskrevet. Men Ezekias gik i Forbøn for dem og sagde: »HERREN, den gode, tilgive
for a multitude of the people, many from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, have not been cleansed, but have eaten the passover otherwise than it is written; but Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, 'Jehovah, who [is] good, doth receive atonement for every one
19 enhver, som har vendt sit Hjerte til at søge Gud HERREN, hans Fædres Gud, selv om han ikke er ren, som Helligdommen kræver det!«
who hath prepared his heart to seek God — Jehovah, God of his fathers — yet not according to the cleansing of the sanctuary;'
20 Og HERREN bønhørte Ezekias og lod Folket uskadt.
and Jehovah hearkeneth unto Hezekiah, and healeth the people.
21 Saa fejrede de Israeliter, der var til Stede i Jerusalem, de usyrede Brøds Højtid med stor Glæde i syv Dage; og Leviterne og Præsterne sang af alle Kræfter dagligt Lovsange for HERREN.
And the sons of Israel, those found in Jerusalem, make the feast of unleavened things seven days with great joy; and giving praise to Jehovah day by day are the Levites and the priests, with instruments of praise before Jehovah.
22 Og Ezekias talte venlige Ord til alle de Leviter, der havde udvist særlig Dygtighed i HERRENS Tjeneste; og de fejrede Højtiden til Ende de syv Dage, idet de ofrede Takofre og lovpriste HERREN, deres Fædres Gud.
And Hezekiah speaketh unto the heart of all the Levites, those giving good understanding concerning Jehovah, and they eat the appointed thing seven days; sacrificing sacrifices of peace-offerings, and making confession to Jehovah, God of their fathers.
23 Men derefter vedtog hele Forsamlingen at holde Højtid syv Dage til, og det gjorde de saa med Glæde,
And all the assembly take counsel to keep other seven days, and they keep seven days [with] joy;
24 thi Kong Ezekias af Juda gav Forsamlingen en Ydelse af 1000 Tyre og 7000 Stykker Smaakvæg, og Øversterne gav Forsamlingen 1000 Tyre og 10 000 Stykker Smaakvæg; og en Mængde Præster helligede sig.
for Hezekiah king of Judah hath presented to the assembly a thousand bullocks, and seven thousand sheep; and the heads have presented to the assembly bullocks a thousand, and sheep ten thousand; and priests sanctify themselves in abundance.
25 Da frydede hele Judas Forsamling sig, ligeledes Præsterne og Leviterne og hele den Forsamling, der var kommet fra Israel, og de fremmede, der var kommet fra Israels Land eller boede i Juda;
And all the assembly of Judah rejoice, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the assembly, those coming in from Israel, and the sojourners, those coming in from the land of Israel, and those dwelling in Judah,
26 og der var stor Glæde i Jerusalem, thi siden Davids Søns, Kong Salomo af Israels, Dage var sligt ikke sket i Jerusalem;
and there is great joy in Jerusalem; for from the days of Solomon son of David king of Israel there is not like this in Jerusalem,
27 og Præsterne og Leviterne stod op og velsignede Folket, og deres Røst hørtes, og deres Bøn naaede Himmelen, hans hellige Bolig.
and the priests, the Levites, rise and bless the people, and their voice is heard, and their prayer cometh in to His holy habitation, to the heavens.
