2 Kings 14
1 In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel, Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah began to reign.
I Joahaz's Søns, Kong Joas af Israel, andet Regeringsaar blev Amazja, Joas's Søn, Konge over Juda.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.
Han var fem og tyve Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede ni og tyve Aar i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Jehoaddan og var fra Jerusalem.
3 And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, yet not like David his father. He did according to all that Joash his father had done.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENS Øjne, om end ikke som hans Fader David; han handlede ganske som sin Fader Joas.
4 However the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
Kun forsvandt Offerhøjene ikke, men Folket blev ved med at ofre og tænde Offerild paa Højene.
5 And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, that he killed his servants who had slain the king his father,
Da han havde sikret sig Magten, lod han dem af sine Folk dræbe, der havde dræbt hans Fader Kongen;
6 but he did not put to death the sons of the murderers, according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as Jehovah commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the sons, nor the sons be put to death for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
men Mordernes Børn lod han ikke ihjelslaa, i Henhold til hvad der staar skrevet i Moses's Lovbog, hvor HERREN byder: »Fædre skal ikke lide Døden for Børns Skyld, og Børn skal ikke lide Døden for Fædres Skyld. Men enhver skal lide Døden for sin egen Synd.«
7 He killed ten thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt, and took Sela by war, and called the name of it Joktheel, to this day.
Det var ham, der slog Edom i Saltdalen, 10 000 Mand, og indtog Sela, og han kaldte det Jokte'el, som det hedder den Dag i Dag.
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look each other in the face.
Ved den Tid sendte Amazja Sendebud til Jebus Søn Joahaz's Søn, Kong Joas af Israel, og lod sige: »Kom, lad os se hinanden under Øjne!«
9 And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife. And a wild beast that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled the thistle.
Men Kong Joas af Israel sendte Kong Amazja af Juda det Svar: »Tidselen paa Libanon sendte engang det Bud til Cederen paa Libanon: Giv min Søn din Datter til Ægte! Men Libanons vilde Dyr løb hen over Tidselen og trampede den ned.
10 Thou have indeed smitten Edom, and thy heart has lifted thee up. Glory by it, and abide at home, for why should thou meddle to thy hurt, that thou should fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
Du har slaaet Edom, og det har gjort dig overmodig; lad dig nu nøje med den Ære og bliv, hvor du er! Hvorfor vil du udfordre Ulykken og udsætte baade dig selv og Juda for Fald?«
11 But Amaziah would not hear. So Jehoash king of Israel went up. And he and Amaziah king of Judah looked each other in the face at Beth-shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
Men Amazja vilde intet høre. Saa drog Kong Joas af Israel ud, og han og Kong Amazja af Juda saa hinanden under Øjne ved Bet-Sjemesj i Juda;
12 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.
Juda blev slaaet af Israel, og de flygtede hver til sit.
13 And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
Men Kong Joas af Israel tog Ahazjas Søn Joas's Søn. Kong Amazja af Juda, til Fange ved Bet-Sjemesj og førte ham til Jerusalem. Derpaa nedrev han Jerusalems Mur paa en Strækning af 400 Alen, fra Efraimsporten til Hjørneporten;
14 And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
og han tog alt det Guld og Sølv og alle de Kar, der fandtes i HERRENS Hus og i Skatkammeret i Kongens Palads; desuden tog han Gidsler og vendte saa tilbage til Samaria.
15 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Joas, alt, hvad han udførte, og alle hans Heltegerninger, og hvorledes han førte Krig med Kong Amazja af Juda, staar jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.
16 And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. And Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.
Saa lagde Joas sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i Samaria hos Israels Konger; og hans Søn Jeroboam blev Konge i hans Sted.
17 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.
Joas's Søn, Kong Amazja af Juda, levede endnu femten Aar, efter at Joahaz's Søn, Kong Joas af Israel, var død.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Amazja, staar jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.
19 And they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. And he fled to Lachish. But they sent after him to Lachish, and killed him there.
Da der stiftedes en Sammensværgelse mod ham i Jerusalem, flygtede han til Lakisj; men der blev sendt Folk efter ham til Lakisj, og de dræbte ham der.
20 And they brought him upon horses, and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.
Saa løftede man ham op paa Heste, og han blev jordet i Jerusalem hos sine Fædre i Davidsbyen.
21 And all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
Hele Folket i Juda tog saa Azarja, der dengang var seksten Aar gammel, og gjorde ham til Konge i hans Fader Amazjas Sted.
22 He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after the king slept with his fathers.
Det var ham, der befæstede Elat og atter forenede det med Juda, efter at Kongen havde lagt sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre.
23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, and reigned forty-one years.
I Joas's Søns, Kong Amazja af Judas, femtende Regeringsaar ble Jeroboam, Joas's Søn, Konge over Israel, og han herskede een og fyrretyve Aar i Samaria.
24 And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah. He did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, og veg ikke fra nogen af de Synder, Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, havde forledt Israel til.
25 He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, according to the word of Jehovah, the God of Israel, which he spoke by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath-hepher.
Han tog Israels Landomraade tilbage fra Egnen hen imod Hamat og til Arabasøen, efter det Ord, HERREN, Israels Gud, havde talet ved sin Tjener, Profeten Jonas, Amittajs Søn, fra Gat-Hefer.
26 For Jehovah saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter, for there was none shut up nor left at large, neither was there any helper for Israel.
Thi HERREN havde set Israels bitre Kvide, hvorledes de reves bort alle som een, fordi Israel ikke havde nogen Hjælper;
27 And Jehovah did not say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
og HERREN havde ikke talet om, at han vilde udslette Israels Navn under Himmelen, derfor frelste han dem ved Jeroboam, Joas's Søn.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jeroboam, alt, hvad han udførte, og hans Heltegerninger, hvorledes han førte Krig, og hvorledes han tog Damaskus og Hamat tilbage til Israel, staar jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.
29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel, and Zechariah his son reigned in his stead.
Saa lagde Jeroboam sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i Samaria hos Israels Konger; og hans Søn Zekarja blev Konge i hans Sted.
