2 Chronicles 33
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem.
Manasse var tolv Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede fem og halvtredsindstyve Aar i Jerusalem.
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, after the abominations of the nations whom Jehovah cast out before the children of Israel.
Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, efter de Hedningers Vederstyggeligheder, som Herren havde fordrevet for Israels Børns Ansigt.
3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars for the Baalim, and made Asheroth, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
Thi han opbyggede igen de Høje, som Ezekias, hans Fader, havde nedbrudt, og oprejste Altre til Baalerne og gjorde Astartebilleder og tilbad al Himmelens Hær og tjente dem.
4 And he built altars in the house of Jehovah, whereof Jehovah said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
Og han byggede Altre i Herrens Hus, om hvilke Herren havde sagt: I Jerusalem skal mit Navn være evindelig.
5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of Jehovah.
Tilmed byggede han Altre til hele Himmelens Hær i begge Forgaardene til Herrens Hus.
6 He also made his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he practised augury, and used enchantments, and practised sorcery, and dealt with them that had familiar spirits, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
Og han lod sine Sønner gaa igennem Ilden i Hinnoms Søns Dal og var en Dagvælger og agtede paa Fugleskrig og brugte Trolddom og beskikkede Spaamænd og Tegnsudlæggere, han gjorde meget ondt for Herrens Øjne til at opirre ham.
7 And he set the graven image of the idol, which he had made, in the house of God, of which God said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
Han satte og et udskaaret Billede, som han lod gøre, i Guds Hus, om hvilket Gud havde sagt til David og til Salomo, hans Søn: I dette Hus og i Jerusalem, som jeg har udvalgt fremfor alle Israels Stammer, vil jeg sætte mit Navn evindelig.
8 neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from off the land which I have appointed for your fathers, if only they will observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all the law and the statutes and the ordinances [given] by Moses.
Og jeg vil ikke mere lade Israels Fod fortrænges fra Landet, som jeg bestemte for deres Fædre; kun saafremt de tage Vare paa at gøre alt det, jeg har budet dem, efter hele Loven og Skikkene og Budene ved Mose.
9 And Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did evil more than did the nations whom Jehovah destroyed before the children of Israel.
Men Manasse forførte Juda og Indbyggerne i Jerusalem til at handle værre end Hedningerne, som Herren havde ødelagt for Israels Børns Ansigt.
10 And Jehovah spake to Manasseh, and to his people; but they gave no heed.
Og Herren talte til Manasse og til hans Folk; men de gave ikke Agt derpaa.
11 Wherefore Jehovah brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
Derfor lod Herren Kongen af Assyriens Hærførere komme over dem, og de grebe Manasse iblandt Tornebuskene, og de bandt ham med to Kobberlænker og førte ham til Babel.
12 And when he was in distress, he besought Jehovah his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.
Og der han kom i Angest, bad han ydmygelig for Herren sin Guds Ansigt og ydmygede sig saare for sine Fædres Guds Ansigt.
13 And he prayed unto him; and he was entreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Jehovah he was God.
Ja, han bad til ham, og Gud bønhørte ham og hørte hans ydmyge Begæring og førte ham tilbage til Jerusalem, til hans Rige; da kendte Manasse, at Herren var Gud.
14 Now after this he built an outer wall to the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate; and he compassed Ophel about [with it], and raised it up to a very great height: and he put valiant captains in all the fortified cities of Judah.
Og derefter byggede han den yderste Mur for Davids Stad, Vesten for Gihon i Dalen, og hen til Fiskeporten, og han førte den omkring Ofel og gjorde den saare høj; og han lagde Stridshøvedsmænd i alle Judas faste Stæder.
15 And he took away the foreign gods, and the idol out of the house of Jehovah, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of Jehovah, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
Og han borttog de fremmede Guder og hint Billede fra Herrens Hus og alle Altrene, som han havde bygget paa Herrens Hus's Bjerg og i Jerusalem, og han kastede dem uden for Staden.
16 And he built up the altar of Jehovah, and offered thereon sacrifices of peace-offerings and of thanksgiving, and commanded Judah to serve Jehovah, the God of Israel.
Og han istandsatte Herrens Alter og ofrede derpaa Takofre og Lovofre; og han sagde til Juda, at de skulde tjene Herren, Israels Gud.
17 Nevertheless the people sacrificed still in the high places, but only unto Jehovah their God.
Dog ofrede Folket endnu paa Højene, men kun til Herren deres Gud.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, behold, they are written among the acts of the kings of Israel.
Men det øvrige af Manasses Handeler og hans Bøn til hans Gud og de Seeres Taler, som talte til ham i Herren Israels Guds Navn, se, dette er skrevet i Israels Kongers Krønike.
19 His prayer also, and how [God] was entreated of him, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up the Asherim and the graven images, before he humbled himself, behold, they are written in the history of Hozai.
Og hans Bøn, og at han blev bønhørt, og al hans Synd og Forgribelse og de Steder, paa hvilke han byggede Højene og satte Astartebilleder og udskaarne Billeder, førend han blev ydmyget; se, dette er skrevet i Seernes Krønike.
20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
Og Manasse laa med sine Fædre, og de begrove ham i hans Hus, og hans Søn Amon blev Konge i hans Sted.
21 Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
Amon var to og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede to Aar i Jerusalem.
22 And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed unto all the graven images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them.
Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, ligesom Manasse, hans Fader, havde gjort, og til alle de udskaarne Billeder, som Manasse, hans Fader, havde gjort, ofrede Amon og tjente dem.
23 And he humbled not himself before Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more.
Men han ydmygede sig ikke for Herrens Ansigt, som hans Fader Manasse havde ydmyget sig; thi denne Amon gjorde Skylden mangfoldig.
24 And his servants conspired against him, and put him to death in his own house.
Og hans Tjenere gjorde et Forbund imod ham og dræbte ham i hans Hus.
25 But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
Men Folket i Landet slog alle dem ihjel, som havde gjort Forbund imod Kong Amon, og Folket i Landet gjorde Josias, hans Søn, til Konge i hans Sted.
