Anden Kongebog 17
1 I Kong Akaz af Judas tolvte Regeringsaar blev Hosea, Elas Søn, Konge i Samaria over Israel, og han herskede ni Aar.
In the twelft yeere of Ahaz King of Iudah began Hoshea the sonne of Elah to reigne in Samaria ouer Israel, and reigned nine yeeres.
2 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, dog ikke som de Konger i Israel, der var før ham.
And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, but not as the Kinges of Israel, that were before him.
3 Mod ham drog Assyrerkongen Salmanassar op, og Hosea underkastede sig og svarede ham Skat.
And Shalmaneser king of Asshur came vp against him, and Hoshea became his seruant, and gaue him presents.
4 Men siden opdagede Assyrerkongen, at Hosea var ved at stifte en Sammensværgelse, idet han sendte Sendebud til Kong So af Ægypten og ikke mere svarede Assyrerkongen den aarlige Skat. Saa berøvede Assyrerkongen ham Friheden og lod ham kaste i Fængsel.
And the King of Asshur founde treason in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So King of Egypt, and brought no present vnto the King of Asshur, as he had done yeerely: therfore the king of Asshur shut him vp, and put him in prison.
5 Assyrerkongen drog op og besatte hele Landet; han rykkede frem mod Samaria og belejrede det i tre Aar;
Then the king of Asshur came vp throughout all the lande, and went against Samaria, and besieged it three yeere.
6 og i Hoseas niende Regeringsaar indtog Assyrerkongen Samaria, bortførte Israel til Assyrien og lod dem bosætte sig i Hala, ved Habor, Gozans Flod, og i Mediens Byer.
In the ninth yeere of Hoshea, the King of Asshur tooke Samaria, and caryed Israel away vnto Asshur, and put them in Halah, and in Habor by the riuer of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
7 Saaledes gik det, fordi Israeliterne syndede mod HERREN deres Gud, der havde ført dem op fra Ægypten og udfriet dem af Ægypterkongen Faraos Haand, og fordi de frygtede andre Guder;
For when the children of Israel sinned against the Lord their God, which had brought them out of the land of Egypt, from vnder ye hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and feared other gods,
8 de fulgte de Folkeslags Skikke, som HERREN havde drevet bort foran Israeliterne, og de Kongers Skik, som Israel havde indsat;
And walked according to the facions of the Heathen, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel, and after the maners of the Kings of Israel, which they vsed,
9 og Israeliterne udtænkte utilbørlige Ting mod HERREN deres Gud og byggede sig Offerhøje i alle deres Byer, lige fra Vagttaarnene til de befæstede Byer;
And the children of Israel had done secretly things that were not vpright before the Lord their God, and throughout all their cities had built hie places, both from the tower of the watch, to the defensed citie,
10 de rejste sig Stenstøtter og Asjerastøtter paa alle høje Steder og under alle grønne Træer
And had made them images and groues vpon euery hie hill, and vnder euery greene tree,
11 og tændte Offerild der paa alle Høje ligesom de Folkeslag, HERREN havde ført bort foran dem, og øvede onde Ting, saa at de krænkede HERREN;
And there burnt incense in all the hie places, as did the heathen, whom the Lord had taken away before them, and wrought wicked things to anger the Lord,
12 de dyrkede Afgudsbillederne, skønt HERREN havde sagt: »Det maa I ikke gøre!«
And serued idoles: whereof the Lord had sayd vnto them, Ye shall do no such thing,
13 Og HERREN advarede Israel og Juda ved alle sine Profeter, alle Seerne, og sagde: »Vend om fra eders onde Færd og hold mine Bud og Anordninger i nøje Overensstemmelse med den Lov, jeg paalagde eders Fædre og kundgjorde eder ved mine Tjenere Profeterne!«
Notwithstanding the Lord testified to Israel, and to Iudah by all the Prophets, and by all the Seers, saying, Turne from your euill wayes, and keepe my commandements and my statutes, according to all the Lawe, which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my seruants the Prophets.
14 Men de vilde ikke høre; de gjorde sig halsstarrige som deres Fædre, der ikke stolede paa HERREN deres Gud;
Neuerthelesse they would not obey, but hardened their neckes, like to the neckes of their fathers, that did not beleeue in the Lord their God.
15 de lod haant om hans Anordninger og den Pagt, han havde sluttet med deres Fædre, og om de Vidnesbyrd, han havde givet dem, og de holdt sig til Tomhed, saa de blev til Tomhed, og efterlignede Folkeslagene rundt om dem, skønt HERREN havde paalagt dem ikke at gøre som de;
And they refused his statutes and his couenant, that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies (wherewith he witnessed vnto them) and they followed vanitie, and became vaine, and followed the heathen that were round about them: concerning whome the Lord had charged them, that they should not do like them.
16 de sagde sig løs fra HERREN deres Guds Bud og lavede sig støbte Billeder, to Tyrekalve; de lavede sig ogsaa Asjerastøtter, tilbad hele Himmelens Hær og dyrkede Ba'al:
Finally they left all the commandements of the Lord their God, and made them molten images, euen two calues, and made a groue, and worshipped all the hoste of heauen, and serued Baal.
17 de lod deres Sønner og Døtre gaa igennem Ilden, drev Spaadomskunster og Sandsigeri og solgte sig til at gøre, hvad der er ondt i HERRENS Øjne, saa de krænkede ham.
And they made their sonnes and their daughters passe thorowe the fire, and vsed witchcraft and inchantments, yea, solde them selues to doe euill in the sight of the Lord, to anger him.
18 Derfor blev HERREN saare fortørnet paa Israel og drev dem bort fra sit Aasyn, saa der ikke blev andet end Judas Stamme tilbage.
Therefore the Lord was exceeding wroth with Israel, and put them out of his sight, and none was left but the tribe of Iudah onely.
19 Men heller ikke Juda holdt HERREN deres Guds Bud, men fulgte de Skikke, Israel havde indført.
Yet Iudah kept not the commandements of the Lord their God, but walked according to the facion of Israel, which they vsed.
20 Derfor forkastede HERREN hele Israels Slægt, ydmygede dem, gav dem til Pris for Røvere og stødte dem til sidst bort fra sit Aasyn.
Therefore the Lord cast off all the seede of Israel, and afflicted them, and deliuered them into the handes of spoylers, vntill he had cast them out of his sight.
21 Thi da Israel havde revet sig løs fra Davids Hus og gjort Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, til Konge, drog denne Israel bort fra HERREN og forledte dem til en stor Synd;
For he cut off Israel from the house of Dauid, and they made Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat King: and Ieroboam drewe Israel away from following the Lord, and made them sinne a great sinne.
22 og Israeliterne vandrede i alle de Synder, Jeroboam havde begaaet, og veg ikke derfra,
For the children of Israel walked in all the sinnes of Ieroboam, which he did, and departed not therefrom,
23 saa at HERREN til sidst drev Israel bort fra sit Aasyn, som han havde sagt ved alle sine Tjenere Profeterne; og Israel maatte vandre bort fra sit Land til Assyrien, hvor det er den Dag i Dag.
Vntill the Lord put Israel away out of his sight, as he had said by all his seruants the Prophets, and caryed Israel away out of their land to Asshur vnto this day.
24 Derefter lod Assyrerkongen Folk fra Babel, Kuta, Avva, Hamat og Sefarvajim komme og bosætte sig i Samarias Byer i Stedet for Israeliterne; og de tog Samaria i Besiddelse og bosatte sig i Byerne.
And the King of Asshur brought folke from Babel, and from Cuthah, and from Aua, and from Hamath, and from Sepharuaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria in steade of the children of Israel: so they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
25 Men den første Tid de boede der, frygtede de ikke HERREN; derfor sendte HERREN Løver iblandt dem, som dræbte dem.
And at the beginning of their dwelling there, they feared not the Lord: therefore the Lord sent lions among them, which slewe them.
26 Da sendte de Assyrerkongen det Bud: »De Folk, du førte bort fra deres Hjem og lod bosætte sig i Samarias Byer, ved ikke, hvorledes Landets Gud skal dyrkes; derfor har han sendt Løver imod dem, og de dræber dem, fordi de ikke ved, hvorledes Landets Gud skal dyrkes!«
Wherefore they spake to the King of Asshur, saying, The nations which thou hast remoued, and placed in the cities of Samaria, knowe not the maner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and behold, they slay them, because they knowe not the maner of the God of the land.
27 Og Assyrerkongen bød: »Lad en af de Præster, jeg førte bort derfra, drage derhen, lad ham drage hen og bosætte sig der og lære dem, hvorledes Landets Gud skal dyrkes!«
Then the King of Asshur commanded, saying, Carie thither one of the Priestes whome ye brought thence, and let him goe and dwell there, and teache them the maner of the God of the countrey.
28 Saa kom en af de Præster, de havde ført bort fra Samaria, og bosatte sig i Betel, og han lærte dem, hvorledes de skulde frygte HERREN.
So one of the Priestes, which they had caryed from Samaria, came and dwelt in Beth-el, and taught them how they shoulde feare the Lord.
29 Men hvert Folk gav sig til at lave sig sin egen Gud og stillede ham op i Offerhusene paa Højene, som Samaritanerne havde opført, hvert Folk i sin By, hvor de havde bosat sig;
Howbeit euery nation made their gods, and put them in the houses of the hie places, which the Samaritanes had made, euery nation in their cities, wherein they dwelt.
30 Folkene fra Babel lavede Sukkot-Benot, Folkene fra Kuta Nergal, Folkene fra Hamat Asjima,
For the men of Babel made Succoth-Benoth: and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
31 Avvijiterne Nibhaz og Tartak, og Sefarviterne brændte deres Børn til Ære for Adrammelek og Anammelek, Sefarvajims Guder.
And the Auims made Nibhaz, and Tartak: and the Sepharuims burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech, and Anammelech the gods of Sepharuaim.
32 Men de frygtede ogsaa HERREN og indsatte Folk at deres egen Midte til Præster ved Offerhøjene, og disse ofrede for dem i Offerhusene paa Højene.
Thus they feared the Lord, and appoynted out Priestes out of them selues for the hie places, who prepared for them sacrifices in the houses of the hie places.
33 De frygte de HERREN, men dyrkede ogsaa deres egne Guder paa de Folkeslags Vis, de var ført bort fra.
They feared the Lord, but serued their gods after the maner of the nations whome they caryed thence.
34 Endnu den Dag i Dag følger de deres gamle Skikke. De frygtede ikke HERREN og handlede ikke efter de Anordninger og Lovbud, de havde faaet, eller efter den Lov og det Bud, HERREN havde givet Jakobs Sønner, han, hvem han gav Navnet Israel.
Vnto this day they doe after the olde maner: they neyther feare God, neyther doe after their ordinances, nor after their customes, nor after the Lawe, nor after the commandement, which the Lord commanded the children of Iaakob, whom he named Israel,
35 Og HERREN havde sluttet en Pagt med dem og givet dem det Bud: »I maa ikke frygte andre Guder eller tilbede dem, ikke dyrke dem eller ofre til dem;
And with whom the Lord had made a couenant, and charged them, saying, Feare none other gods, nor bowe your selues to them, nor serue them, nor sacrifice to them:
36 men HERREN, som førte eder ud af Ægypten med vældig Kraft og udstrakt Arm, ham skal I frygte, ham skal I tilbede, og til ham skal I ofre!
But feare the Lord which brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power, and a stretched out arme: him feare ye, and worshippe him, and sacrifice to him.
37 De Anordninger og Lovbud, den Lov og det Bud, han har opskrevet for eder, skal I omhyggeligt holde til alle Tider, og I maa ikke frygte andre Guder!
Also keepe ye diligently the statutes and the ordinances, and the Lawe, and the commandement, which he wrote for you, that ye do them continually, and feare not other gods.
38 Den Pagt, han har sluttet med eder, maa I ikke glemme, og I maa ikke frygte andre Guder;
And forget not the couenant that I haue made with you, neither feare ye other gods,
39 men HERREN eders Gud skal I frygte, saa vil han fri eder af alle eders Fjenders Haand!«
But feare the Lord your God, and he will deliuer you out of the handes of all your enemies.
40 Dog vilde de ikke høre, men blev ved at handle som før.
Howbeit they obeyed not, but did after their olde custome.
41 Saaledes frygtede disse Folkeslag HERREN, men dyrkede tillige deres udskaarne Billeder; og deres Børn og Børnebørn gør endnu den Dag i Dag som deres Fædre.
So these nations feared the Lord, and serued their images also: so did their children, and their childrens children: as did their fathers, so do they vnto this day.
