Anden Krønikebog 35
1 Derpaa fejrede Josias Paaske for HERREN i Jerusalem, og de slagtede Paaskelammet den fjortende Dag i den første Maaned.
Josiah kept a Passover to Yahweh in Jerusalem, and they killed the Passover lambs on the fourteenth day of the first month.
2 Han satte Præsterne til det, de havde at varetage, og opmuntrede dem til Tjenesten i HERRENS Hus;
He placed the priests in their positions and encouraged them in the service of the house of Yahweh.
3 og til Leviterne, som underviste hele Israel og var helliget HERREN, sagde han: »Sæt den hellige Ark i Templet, som Davids Søn, Kong Salomo af Israel, byggede; I skal ikke mere bære den paa Skuldrene. Tjen nu HERREN eders Gud og hans Folk Israel!
He said to the Levites who taught all Israel and who were set apart to Yahweh, “Put the holy ark in the house that Solomon son of David, king of Israel built. Do not carry it around on your shoulders any longer. Now worship Yahweh your God, and serve his people Israel.
4 Gør eder rede Fædrenehus for Fædrenehus, Skifte for Skifte, efter Kong David af Israels Forskrift og hans Søn Salomos Anvisning,
Organize yourselves by the name of your ancestral houses and your divisions, following the written instructions of David, king of Israel, and those of Solomon, his son.
5 og stil eder op i Helligdommen, saaledes at der bliver et Skifte af et levitisk Fædrenehus for hver Afdeling af eders Brødres, Almuens, Fædrenehuse,
Stand in the holy place, taking your position with your divisions within the ancestral houses of your brothers, the descendants of the people, and taking your places with your divisions within the ancestral houses of the Levites.
6 og slagt saa Paaskeofferdyrene, helliger eder og tillav dem til eders Brødre for at handle efter HERRENS Ord ved Moses.«
Kill the Passover lambs, consecrate yourselves, prepare the lambs for your brothers, to do according to the word of Yahweh that was given by the hand of Moses.”
7 Josias gav frivilligt Almuen, alle dem, der var til Stede, en Ydelse af Smaakvæg, Lam og Gedekid, alt sammen til Paaskeofferdyr, 30 000 Stykker i Tal, og 3000 Stykker Hornkvæg, alt af Kongens Ejendom;
Josiah gave to all the people thirty thousand lambs and kids from flocks for the Passover offerings to all who were present. He also gave three thousand bulls; these were from the king's possessions.
8 og hans Øverster gav frivilligt Folket, Præsterne og Leviterne en Ydelse; Hilkija, Zekarja og Jehiel, Guds Hus's Øverster, gav Præsterne til Paaskeofferdyr 2600 Stykker Smaakvæg og 300 Stykker Hornkvæg.
His leaders gave a free will offering to the people, priests, and Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the officials in charge of the house of God, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings 2,600 small cattle and three hundred oxen.
9 Leviternes Øverster Konanja og hans Brødre Sjemaja og Netan'el, Hasjabja, Je'iel og Jozabad ydede Leviterne til Paaskeofferdyr 5000 Stykker Smaakvæg og 500 Stykker Hornkvæg.
Also Konaniah, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand small cattle and five hundred oxen.
10 Saaledes ordnedes Tjenesten, og Præsterne stod paa deres Plads, ligeledes Leviterne, Skifte for Skifte efter Kongens Bud.
So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their places, with the Levites by their divisions, in response to the king's command.
11 De slagtede Paaskedyrene, og Præsterne sprængte Blodet, som de rakte dem, medens Leviterne flaaede Huden af.
They killed the Passover lambs, and the priests sprinkled the blood that they received from the Levites' hand, and the Levites skinned the lambs.
12 Derpaa gjorde de Brændofrene rede for at give dem til de enkelte Afdelinger af Almuens Fædrenehuse, saa at de kunde frembæres for HERREN, som det er foreskrevet i Moses's Bog, og paa samme Maade gjorde de med Hornkvæget.
They removed the burnt offerings, in order to distribute them to the divisions of the ancestral houses of the people, to offer them to Yahweh, as it is written in the Book of Moses. They did the same with the bulls.
13 Paaskedyrene stegte de over Ilden paa den foreskrevne Maade, men de hellige Stykker kogte de i Gryder, Kedler og Skaale og bragte dem skyndsomt til Almuen.
They roasted the Passover lambs with fire following the instructions. As for the consecrated offerings, they boiled them in pots, cauldrons, and pans, and they quickly carried them to all the people.
14 Derefter gjorde de Paaskedyr rede til sig selv og Præsterne, thi Præsterne, Arons Sønner, var sysselsatte med at ofre Brændofrene og Fedtstykkerne lige til Nattens Frembrud; derfor gjorde Leviterne Ofre rede baade for sig selv og Præsterne, Arons Sønner.
They later prepared offerings for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were occupied in offering the burnt offerings and the fat until nightfall, so the Levites prepared the offerings for themselves and for the priests, the descendants of Aaron.
15 Sangerne, Asafs Sønner, var paa deres Plads efter Davids, Asafs, Hemans og Kongens Seer Jedutuns Bud, og Dørvogterne ved de forskellige Porte; de maatte ikke forlade deres Plads, men deres Brødre Leviterne gjorde Paaskedyr rede for dem.
The singers, the descendants of Asaph, were in their place, as directed by David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer, and the guards were at every gate. They did not have to leave their post, because their brothers the Levites made preparations for them.
16 Saaledes ordnedes hele HERRENS Tjeneste den Dag, idet man fejrede Paasken og bragte Brændofre paa HERRENS Alter efter Kong Josias's Bud;
So, at that time the entire service of Yahweh was carried out for the celebration of the Passover and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of Yahweh, as King Josiah commanded.
17 og Israeliterne, som var til Stede, fejrede dengang Paasken og de usyrede Brøds Højtid i syv Dage.
The people of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and then the Festival of Unleavened Bread for seven days.
18 En Paaske som den var ikke blevet fejret i Israel siden Profeten Samuels Dage, og ingen af Israels Konger havde fejret en Paaske som den, Josias, Præsterne og Leviterne og alle de Judæere og Israeliter, som var til Stede, og Jerusalems Indbyggere fejrede.
Such a Passover celebration had never been held in Israel from the days of the prophet Samuel, nor had any of the other kings of Israel ever celebrated such a Passover as Josiah did, along with the priests, Levites, and all the people of Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
19 I Josias's attende Regeringsaar blev denne Paaske fejret.
This Passover was kept in the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah.
20 Efter alt dette, da Josias havde sat Templet i Stand, drog Ægypterkongen Neko op til Kamp ved Karkemisj, der ligger ved Eufrat. Josias drog imod ham;
After all this, after Josiah had set the temple in order, Necho, king of Egypt, went up to fight against Carchemish at the Euphrates River, and Josiah went to fight against him.
21 men han sendte Sendebud til ham og lod sige: »Hvad er der mig og dig imellem, Judas Konge? Det er ikke dig, det nu gælder, men det Kongehus, jeg ligget i Krig med; og Gud har sagt, at jeg skulde haste. Gaa ikke imod den Gud, der er med mig, at han ikke skal ødelægge dig!«
But Necho sent ambassadors to him, saying, “What have I to do with you, king of Judah? I am not coming against you today, but against the house with which I am making war. God has commanded me to hurry, so refrain from interfering with God, who is with me, or he might destroy you.”
22 Josias vendte dog ikke om, men vovede at indlade sig i Kamp med ham; han tog ikke Hensyn til Nekos Ord, der dog kom fra Guds Mund, men drog ud til Kamp paa Megiddos Slette.
However, Josiah refused to turn away from him. He disguised himself in order to fight with him. He did not listen to the words of Necho that had come from the mouth of God; so he went to fight in the Valley of Megiddo.
23 Da ramte Bueskytterne Kong Josias; og Kongen sagde til sine Folk: »Før mig bort, thi jeg er haardt saaret!«
Archers shot King Josiah, and the king said to his servants, “Take me away, for I am badly wounded.”
24 Hans Folk bragte ham da bort fra Vognen og satte ham paa hans anden Vogn og førte ham til Jerusalem, hvor han døde. De jordede ham i hans Fædres Grave, og hele Juda og Jerusalem sørgede over Josias.
So his servants took him out of the chariot, and put him in his extra chariot. They took him to Jerusalem, where he died. He was buried in the tombs of his ancestors. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
25 Jeremias sang en Klagesang over Josias, og alle Sangerne og Sangerinderne talte i deres Klagesange om ham, som de gør den Dag i Dag; man gjorde dette til en staaende Skik i Israel, og Sangene staar optegnet blandt Klagesangene.
Jeremiah lamented for Josiah; all the male and female singers lament about Josiah to this day. These songs became customary in Israel; behold, they are written in the songs of lament.
26 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Josias og hans fromme Gerninger, der stemte med, hvad der er foreskrevet i HERRENS Lov,
As for the other matters concerning Josiah, and his good deeds done in obedience to what is written in the law of Yahweh—
27 hans Historie fra først til sidst staar jo optegnet i Bogen om Israels og Judas Konger.
and his deeds, from beginning to end, are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
