Anden Kongebog 21
1 Manasse var tolv År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede fem og halvtredsindstyve År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Hefziba.
Manasseh was twelue yeere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned fiftie and fiue yeere in Ierusalem: his mothers name also was Hephzi-bah.
2 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, og efterlignede de Folkeslags Vederstyggeligheder, som HERREN havde drevet bort foran Israeliterne.
And he did euill in the sight of the Lord after the abomination of the heathen, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.
3 Han byggede atter de Offerhøje, som hans Fader Ezekias havde ødelagt, rejste Altre for Ba'al, lavede en Asjerastøtte, ligesom Kong Akab af Israel havde gjort, og tilbad og dyrkede hele Himmelens Hær.
For he went backe and built the hie places, which Hezekiah his father had destroyed: and he erected vp altars for Baal, and made a groue, as did Ahab King of Israel, and worshipped all the hoste of heauen and serued them.
4 Og han byggede Altre i HERRENs Hus, om hvilket HERREN havde sagt: "I Jerusalem vil jeg stedfæste mit Navn."
Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, of the which the Lord saide, In Ierusalem will I put my Name.
5 Og han byggede Altre for hele Himmelens Hær i begge HERRENs Hus's Forgårde.
And he built altars for al the hoste of ye heauen in the two courtes of the house of the Lord.
6 Han lod sin Søn gå igennem Ilden, drev Trolddom og tog Varsler og ansatte Dødemanere og Sandsigere; han gjorde meget, som var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, og krænkede ham.
And he caused his sonnes to passe through the fire, and gaue him selfe to witchcraft and sorcerie, and he vsed them that had familiar spirits and were soothsayers, and did much euill in the sight of the Lord to anger him.
7 Den Asjerastøtte, han lod lave, opstillede han i det Hus, om bvilket HERREN havde sagt til David og hans Søn Salomo: "I dette Hus og i Jerusalem, som jeg har udvalgt af alle Israels Stammer, vil jeg stedfæste mit Navn til evig Tid;
And he set the image of the groue, that he had made, in the house, whereof ye Lord had saide to Dauid and to Salomon his sonne, In this house and in Ierusalem, which I haue chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my Name for euer.
8 og jeg vil ikke mere lade Israel vandre bort fra det Land, jeg gav deres Fædre, dog kun på det Vilkår, at de omhyggeligt overholder alt, hvad jeg har pålagt dem, hele den Lov, min Tjener Moses gav dem."
Neither will I make the feete of Israel, mooue any more out of the lande, which I gaue their fathers: so that they will obserue and doe all that I haue commanded them, and according to all the Lawe that my seruant Moses commanded them.
9 Men de vilde ikke høre, og Manasse forførte dem til at handle værre end de Folkeslag, HERREN havde udryddet foran Israeliterne.
Yet they obeyed not, but Manasseh ledde them out of the way, to doe more wickedly then did the heathen people, whom the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 Da talede HERREN ved sine Tjenere Profeterne således:
Therefore the Lord spake by his seruants the Prophets, saying,
11 "Efterdi Kong Manasse af Juda har øvet disse Vederstyggeligheder, ja øvet Ting, som er værre end alt, hvad Amoriterne, der var før ham. øvede, og tillige ved sine Afgudsbilleder har forledt Juda til Synd,
Because that Manasseh King of Iudah hath done such abominations, and hath wrought more wickedly then al that the Amorites (which were before him) did, and hath made Iudah sinne also with his idoles,
12 derfor, så siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Se, jeg bringer Ulykke over Jerusalem og Juda, så det skal ringe for Ørene på enhver, der hører derom!
Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Beholde, I will bring an euill vpon Ierusalem and Iudah, that who so heareth of it, both his eares shall tingle.
13 Jeg vil trække samme Målesnor over Jerusalem som over Samaria og bruge samme Lod som ved Akabs Hus; jeg vil afviske Jerusalem, som man afvisker et Fad og vender det om;
And I will stretch ouer Ierusalem the line of Samaria, and the plommet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Ierusalem, as a man wipeth a dish, which he wipeth, and turneth it vpside downe.
14 jeg forstøder, hvad der er tilbage af min Ejendom, oggiver dem i deres Fjenders Hånd, og de skal blive til Rov og Bytte for alle deres Fjender,
And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliuer them into the hande of their enemies, and they shalbe robbed and spoyled of all their aduersaries,
15 fordi de gjorde, hvad der var ondt i mine Øjne, og krænkede mig, lige fra den Dag deres Fædre drog ud af Ægypten og indtil i Dag!"
Because they haue done euil in my sight, and haue prouoked mee to anger, since the time their fathers came out of Egypt vntill this day.
16 Desuden udgød Manasse uskyldigt Blod i store Måder, så han fyldte Jerusalem dermed til Randen, for ikke at tale om den Synd; han begik ved at forlede Juda til Synd, så de gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne.
Moreouer Manasseh shed innocent blood exceeding much, till hee replenished Ierusalem from corner to corner, beside his sinne wherwith he made Iudah to sinne, and to doe euill in the sight of the Lord.
17 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Manasse, alt, hvad han udførte, og den Synd, han begik, står jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.
Concerning the rest of the actes of Manasseh, and all that hee did, and his sinne that he sinned, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
18 Så lagde Manasse sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i Haven ved sit Hus, i Uzzas Have; og hans Søn Amon blev Konge i hans Sted.
And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, euen in the garden of Vzza: and Amon his sonne reigned in his steade.
19 Amon var to og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede to År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Mesjullemet og var en Datter af Haruz fra Jotba.
Amon was two and twentie yere olde, when he began to reigne, and hee reygned two yeere in Ierusalem: his mothers name also was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Iotbah.
20 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, ligesom hans Fader Manasse;
And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh did.
21 han vandrede nøje i sin Faders Spor og dyrkede Afgudsbillederne, som hans Fader havde dyrket, og tilbad dem;
For hee walked in all the way that his father walked in, and serued the idoles that his father serued, and worshipped them.
22 han forlod HERREN, sine Fædres Gud, og vandrede ikke på HERRENs Vej.
And he forsooke the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.
23 Amons Folk sammensvor sig imod ham og dræbte Kongen i hans
And the seruantes of Amon conspired against him, and slewe the King in his owne house.
24 men Folket fra Landet dræbte alle dem, der havde sammensvoret sig imod Kong Amon, og gjorde hans Søn Josias til Konge i hans Sted.
And the people of the land slewe all them that had conspired against King Amon, and the people made Iosiah his sonne King in his steade.
25 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Amon, og hvad han udførte, står jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.
Concerning the rest of the actes of Amon, which he did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
26 Man jordede ham i hans Faders Grav i Uzzas Have; og hans Søn Josias blev Konge i hans Sted.
And they buried him in his sepulchre in the garden of Vzza: and Iosiah his sonne reigned in his steade.
