In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah began to reign.

Azariah was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jekoliah, and she was from Jerusalem.

He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, just as his father Amaziah had done.

5 Men HERREN ramte Kongen, så han blev spedalsk til sin Dødedag; og han fik Lov at blive boende i sit Hus, medens Kongens Søn Jotam rådede i Paladset og dømte Folket i Landet.

Yahweh afflicted the king so that he was a leper to the day of his death and lived in a separate house. Jotham, the king's son, was over the household and ruled the people of the land.

6 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Azarja, alt, hvad han udførte, står jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.

As for the other matters concerning Azariah, all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?

7 Så jagde han sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og man jordede ham hos hans Fædre i Davidsbyen; og hans Søn Jotam blev Konge i hans Sted.

So Azariah slept with his ancestors; they buried him with his ancestors in the city of David. Jotham, his son, became king in his place.

9 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, ligesom hans Fædre, og han veg ikke fra de Synder, Jeroboam Nebats Søn, havde forledt Israel til.

He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as his fathers had done. He did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin.

10 Men Sjallum, Jabesjs Søn, stiftede en Sammensværgelse modham, huggede ham ned og dræbte ham i Jibleam og blev Konge i hans Sted.

Shallum son of Jabesh conspired against Zechariah, attacked him in Ibleam, and killed him. Then he became king in his place.

11 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Zekarja, står optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.

As for the other matters concerning Zechariah, they are written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel.

12 Således opfyldtes det Ord HERREN havde talet til Jehu, da han sagde: "Dine Sønner skal sidde på Israels Trone indtil fjerde Led." Således gik det.

This was the word of Yahweh that he spoke to Jehu, saying, “Your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.” That is what happened.

16 Fra Tirza hærgede Menahem ved den Tid Tappua og alt, hvad der var deri, og hele dets Område, fordi de ikke havde åbnet Portene for ham; derfor hærgede han det og lod Livet rive op på alle frugtsommelige Kvinder der.

Then Menahem attacked Tiphsah and all who were there, and the borders around Tirzah, because they did not open up the city to him. So he attacked it, and he ripped open all the pregnant women in that village.

17 I Kong Azarja af Judas ni og tredivte Regeringsår blev Menahem, Gadis Søn, Konge over Israel, og han herskede ti År i Samaria.

Then Pul the king of Assyria came against the land, and Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents of silver, so that Pul's support might be with him to strengthen the kingdom of Israel in his hand.

20 Menahem inddrev disse Penge hos Israel, hos alle de velhavende, halvtredsindstyve Sekel Sølv hos hver, for at udbetale dem til Assyrerkongen. Så vendte Assyrerkongen hjem og blev ikke længer der i Landet.

Menahem exacted this money from Israel by requiring each of the wealthy men to pay fifty shekels of silver to him to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back and did not stay there in the land.

Pekahiah had an officer named Pekah son of Remaliah, who conspired against him. Along with fifty men of Gilead, Pekah killed Pekahiah as well as Argob and Arieh in Samaria, in the citadel of the king's palace. Pekah killed Pekahiah and became king in his place.

However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense at the high places. Jotham built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh.
