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.

[was] a son of Two [plus] ten year[s] Manasseh when became king he and fifty and five year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his [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 the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh according to [the] abominations of the nations which he had dispossessed Yahweh from before [the] people 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.

And he returned and he built the high places which he had destroyed Hezekiah father his and he set up altars to Baal and he made an Asherah pole just as he had done Ahab [the] king of Israel and he bowed down to all [the] host of the heavens and he served them.

4 Og han byggede Altre i HERRENs Hus, om hvilket HERREN havde sagt: "I Jerusalem vil jeg stedfæste mit Navn."

And he built altars in [the] house of Yahweh which he had said Yahweh in Jerusalem I will put name my.

5 Og han byggede Altre for hele Himmelens Hær i begge HERRENs Hus's Forgårde.

And he built altars to all [the] host of the heavens in [the] two [the] courtyards of [the] house of Yahweh.

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 made pass son his in the fire and he practiced soothsaying and he practiced divination and he dealt with necromancer and soothsayers he increased to do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh to provoke [him] to anger.

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 put [the] image of Asherah which he had made in the house which he had said Yahweh to David and to Solomon son his in the house this and in Jerusalem which I have chosen from all [the] tribes of Israel I will put name my for ever.

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."

And not I will repeat to make wander [the] foot of Israel from the ground which I gave to ancestors their only - if they will take care to do according to all that I have commanded them and to all the law which he commanded them servant my Moses.

9 Men de vilde ikke høre, og Manasse forførte dem til at handle værre end de Folkeslag, HERREN havde udryddet foran Israeliterne.

And not they listened and he misled them Manasseh to do evil more than the nations which he had destroyed Yahweh from before [the] people of Israel.

10 Da talede HERREN ved sine Tjenere Profeterne således:

And he spoke Yahweh by [the] hand of servants his 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 he has done Manasseh [the] king of Judah the abominations these he has done evil more than all that they did the Amorite[s] who [was] before him and he has caused to sin also Judah with idols his.

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 he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to bring calamity on Jerusalem and Judah which every ([one who] hears of it *Q(K)*) they will tingle [the] two ears his.

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 out over Jerusalem [the] measuring-line of Samaria and [the] leveling tool of [the] house of Ahab and I will wipe clean Jerusalem just as someone wipes clean the bowl he wipes [it] clean and he turns [it] over on face its.

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 abandon [the] remnant of inheritance my and I will give them in [the] hand of enemies their and they will become spoil and plunder to all enemies their.

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 that they have done the evil in view my and they have been provoking to anger me since the day when they came out ancestors their from Egypt and until the day this.

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.

And also blood innocent he shed Manasseh much very until that he had filled Jerusalem mouth to mouth apart from sin his which he caused to sin Judah to do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh.

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.

And [the] rest of [the] matters of Manasseh and all that he did and sin his which he sinned ¿ not [are] they written on [the] scroll of [the] matters of the days of [the] kings of Judah.

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 he lay down Manasseh with ancestors his and he was buried in [the] garden of house his in [the] garden of Uzzah and he became king Amon son his in place of him.

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.

[was] a son of Twenty and two year[s] Amon when became king he and two years he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his [was] Meshullemeth [the] daughter of Haruz from Jotbah.

20 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, ligesom hans Fader Manasse;

And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh just as he had done Manasseh father his.

21 han vandrede nøje i sin Faders Spor og dyrkede Afgudsbillederne, som hans Fader havde dyrket, og tilbad dem;

And he walked in all the way which he had walked father his and he served the idols which he had served father his and he bowed down to them.

22 han forlod HERREN, sine Fædres Gud, og vandrede ikke på HERRENs Vej.

And he forsook Yahweh [the] God of ancestors his and not he walked in [the] way of Yahweh.

23 Amons Folk sammensvor sig imod ham og dræbte Kongen i hans

And they conspired [the] servants of Amon on him and they killed the king in own house his.

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 it struck down [the] people of the land all those [who] had conspired on the king Amon and they made king [the] people of the land Josiah son his in place of him.

25 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Amon, og hvad han udførte, står jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.

And [the] rest of [the] matters of Amon which he did ¿ not [are] they written on [the] scroll of [the] matters of the days of [the] kings of Judah.

26 Man jordede ham i hans Faders Grav i Uzzas Have; og hans Søn Josias blev Konge i hans Sted.

(And someone buried *LB(ah)*) him in grave his in [the] garden of Uzzah and he became king Josiah son his in place of him.
