< 2 Chronicles 35 >

1 Then Josiah celebrated the Passover to the LORD in Jerusalem, and the Passover lamb was slaughtered on the fourteenth day of the first month.
Og Josias holdt Paaske for Herren i Jerusalem, og de slagtede Paaskelam paa den fjortende Dag i den første Maaned.
2 He appointed the priests to their duties and encouraged them in the service of the house of the LORD.
Og han beskikkede Præsterne til det, de skulde varetage, og styrkede dem til deres Tjeneste i Herrens Hus.
3 To the Levites who taught all Israel and were holy to the LORD, Josiah said: “Put the holy ark in the temple built by Solomon son of David king of Israel. It is not to be carried around on your shoulders. Now serve the LORD your God and His people Israel.
Og han sagde til Leviterne, som underviste al Israel om de hellige Ting for Herren: Sætter den hellige Ark i Huset, som Salomo, Davids Søn, Israels Konge, har bygget; I have ingen Byrde at bære paa Skuldre, tjener nu Herren eders Gud og hans Folk Israel,
4 Prepare yourselves by families in your divisions, according to the instructions written by David king of Israel and Solomon his son.
og bereder eder efter eders Fædrenehuse, efter eders Skifter, som det er foreskrevet af David, Israels Konge, og foreskrevet af Salomo, hans Søn;
5 Moreover, stand in the Holy Place by the divisions of the families of your kinsmen the lay people, and by the divisions of the families of the Levites.
og staar i Helligdommen efter Afdelingerne af Fædrenehusene iblandt eders Brødre, Folkets Børn, og efter hver Afdeling af Fædrenes Huse iblandt Leviterne;
6 Slaughter the Passover lambs, consecrate yourselves, and make preparations for your fellow countrymen to carry out the word of the LORD given by Moses.”
og slagter Paaskelam, helliger eder og bereder det for eders Brødre, idet I gøre efter Herrens Ord ved Mose.
7 From his own flocks and herds Josiah contributed 30,000 lambs and goats plus 3,000 bulls for the Passover offerings for all the people who were present.
Og Josias gav Folkets Børn smaat Kvæg, Lam og Kid, alt sammen til Paaske for alle dem, som vare til Stede, efter Tallet tredive Tusinde, og tre Tusinde Øksne; disse bleve givne af Kongens Gods.
8 His officials also contributed willingly to the people and priests and Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the administrators of the house of God, gave the priests 2,600 Passover offerings and 300 bulls.
Ogsaa gave hans Fyrster en frivillig Gave til Folket, til Præsterne og til Leviterne, nemlig Hilkia og Sakaria og Jehiel, Øverster i Guds Hus, gave Præsterne to Tusinde og seks Hundrede Stykker smaat Kvæg til Paaske og tre Hundrede Øksne.
9 Additionally, Conaniah and his brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, as well as Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, officers of the Levites, donated to the Levites 5,000 Passover offerings and 500 bulls.
Men Kanania og Semaja og Nethaneel, hans Brødre, ligeledes Hasabia og Jehiel og Josabad, Leviternes Øverster, gave fem Tusinde Stykker smaat Kvæg til Paaske og fem Hundrede Øksne.
10 So the service was prepared; the priests stood in their places and the Levites in their divisions according to the king’s command.
Saa blev Tjenesten beredet; og Præsterne stode paa deres Sted, og Leviterne efter deres Skifter ifølge Kongens Befaling,
11 And they slaughtered the Passover lambs, while the priests sprinkled the blood handed to them and the Levites skinned the animals.
og disse slagtede Paaskelammene, og Præsterne stænkede med Blodet, som de modtoge af deres Hænder, og Leviterne flaaede Lammene.
12 They set aside the burnt offerings to be given to the divisions of the families of the people to offer to the LORD, as is written in the Book of Moses; and they did the same with the bulls.
Og de skilte Brændofferet derfra, at de kunde give det til Afdelingerne af Fædrenehusene iblandt Folkets Børn for at ofre det til Herren, som der er skrevet i Mose Bog; og ligervis med Øksnene.
13 They roasted the Passover animals on the fire according to the regulation, and they boiled the other holy offerings in pots, kettles, and bowls and quickly brought them to all the people.
Og de stegte Paaskelammet ved Ilden paa sædvanlig Vis, men det, som var helliget, kogte de i Gryder og i Kedler og i Pander, og de sendte det i Hast til alle Folkets Børn.
14 Afterward, they made preparations for themselves and for the priests, since the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were offering up burnt offerings and fat until nightfall. So the Levites made preparations for themselves and for the priests, the descendants of Aaron.
Og derefter tilberedte de for sig og for Præsterne; thi Præsterne, Arons Børn, havde Brændofferet og Fedtstykkerne at ofre indtil Natten; derfor tilberedte Leviterne for sig og for Præsterne, Arons Børn.
15 The singers, the descendants of Asaph, were at their stations according to the command of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer. And the gatekeepers at each gate did not need to leave their position, because their fellow Levites made preparations for them.
Og Sangerne, Asafs Børn, stode paa deres Sted efter Davids og Asafs og Hemans og Jeduthuns, Kongens Seeres, Bud og Portnerne ved hver Port; de maatte ikke vige fra deres Tjeneste, thi deres Brødre Leviterne tilberedte for dem.
16 So on that day the entire service of the LORD was carried out for celebrating the Passover and offering burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD, according to the command of King Josiah.
Saa blev al Herrens Tjeneste beskikket paa samme Dag med at holde Paaske og at ofre Brændofre paa Herrens Alter efter Kong Josias Befaling.
17 The Israelites who were present also observed the Passover at that time, as well as the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days.
Saa holdt Israels Børn, som vare til Stede, Paasken paa den samme Tid og de usyrede Brøds Højtid syv Dage.
18 No such Passover had been observed in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet. None of the kings of Israel ever observed a Passover like the one that Josiah observed with the priests, the Levites, all Judah, the Israelites who were present, and the people of Jerusalem.
Og der var ikke holdt Paaske som denne i Israel fra Profeten Samuels Dage af, og ingen Konge i Israel havde holdt saadan Paaske, som Josias holdt med Præsterne og Leviterne og hele Juda og Israel, som vare til Stede, og Indbyggerne i Jerusalem.
19 In the eighteenth year of Josiah’s reign, this Passover was observed.
I det attende Josias's Regerings Aar blev denne Paaske holdt.
20 After all this, when Josiah had set the temple in order, Neco king of Egypt marched up to fight at Carchemish by the Euphrates, and Josiah went out to confront him.
Efter alt dette, da Josias havde istandsat Huset, drog Neko, Kongen af Ægypten, op at stride ved Karkemis ved Frat, og Josias drog ud imod ham.
21 But Neco sent messengers to him, saying, “What is the issue between you and me, O king of Judah? I have not come against you today, but I am fighting another dynasty. God told me to hurry; so stop opposing God, who is with me, or He will destroy you!”
Da sendte han Bud til ham og lod sige: Hvad har jeg at gøre med dig, Judas Konge? imod dig kommer jeg ikke paa denne Dag, men imod det Hus, som har Krig med mig, og Gud har sagt, at jeg skulde haste; hold op med at være imod Gud, som er med mig, at han ikke lægger dig øde!
22 Josiah, however, did not turn away from him; instead, in order to engage him in battle, he disguised himself. He did not listen to Neco’s words from the mouth of God, but went to fight him on the Plain of Megiddo.
Dog vendte Josias ikke sit Ansigt bort fra ham, men forklædte sig for at stride imod ham og lød ikke Nekos Ord, som vare fra Guds Mund, men han kom at stride i Megiddo Dal.
23 There the archers shot King Josiah, who said to his servants, “Take me away, for I am badly wounded!”
Og Skytterne skøde paa Kong Josias; da sagde Kongen til sine Tjenere: Fører mig bort, thi jeg er svarlig saaret.
24 So his servants took him out of his chariot, put him in his second chariot, and brought him to Jerusalem, where he died. And Josiah was buried in the tomb of his fathers, and all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for him.
Og hans Tjenere førte ham bort fra Vognen og lode ham køre bort paa den anden Vogn, som han havde, og førte ham til Jerusalem, og han døde og blev begraven i sine Fædres Grave; og hele Juda og Jerusalem sørgede over Josias.
25 Then Jeremiah lamented over Josiah, and to this day all the choirs of men and women sing laments over Josiah. They established them as a statute for Israel, and indeed they are written in the Book of Laments.
Og Jeremias sang en Klagesang over Josias, i lige Maade talte alle Sangerne og Sangerskerne i deres Klagesange om Josias indtil denne Dag, og de gjorde en Skik deraf i Israel; og se, de ere opskrevne iblandt Klagesangene.
26 As for the rest of the acts of Josiah, along with his deeds of loving devotion according to what is written in the Law of the LORD—
Men det øvrige at Josias's Handeler, og hans fromme Gerninger, eftersom skrevet er i Herrens Lov,
27 his acts from beginning to end—they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
ja hans Handeler, de første og de sidste, se, de ere skrevne i Israels og Judas Kongers Bog.
