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.
Derpaa fejrede Josias Paaske for HERREN i Jerusalem, og de slagtede Paaskelammet 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.
Han satte Præsterne til det, de havde at varetage, og opmuntrede dem til Tjenesten 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 til Leviterne, som underviste hele Israel og var helliget HERREN, sagde han: »Sæt den hellige Ark i Templet, som Davids Søn, Kong Salomo af Israel, byggede; I skal ikke mere bære den paa Skuldrene. Tjen 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.
Gør eder rede Fædrenehus for Fædrenehus, Skifte for Skifte, efter Kong David af Israels Forskrift og hans Søn Salomos Anvisning,
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 stil eder op i Helligdommen, saaledes at der bliver et Skifte af et levitisk Fædrenehus for hver Afdeling af eders Brødres, Almuens, Fædrenehuse,
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 slagt saa Paaskeofferdyrene, helliger eder og tillav dem til eders Brødre for at handle efter HERRENS Ord ved Moses.«
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.
Josias gav frivilligt Almuen, alle dem, der var til Stede, en Ydelse af Smaakvæg, Lam og Gedekid, alt sammen til Paaskeofferdyr, 30 000 Stykker i Tal, og 3000 Stykker Hornkvæg, alt af Kongens Ejendom;
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.
og hans Øverster gav frivilligt Folket, Præsterne og Leviterne en Ydelse; Hilkija, Zekarja og Jehiel, Guds Hus's Øverster, gav Præsterne til Paaskeofferdyr 2600 Stykker Smaakvæg og 300 Stykker Hornkvæg.
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.
Leviternes Øverster Konanja og hans Brødre Sjemaja og Netan'el, Hasjabja, Je'iel og Jozabad ydede Leviterne til Paaskeofferdyr 5000 Stykker Smaakvæg og 500 Stykker Hornkvæg.
10 So the service was prepared; the priests stood in their places and the Levites in their divisions according to the king’s command.
Saaledes ordnedes Tjenesten, og Præsterne stod paa deres Plads, ligeledes Leviterne, Skifte for Skifte efter Kongens Bud.
11 And they slaughtered the Passover lambs, while the priests sprinkled the blood handed to them and the Levites skinned the animals.
De slagtede Paaskedyrene, og Præsterne sprængte Blodet, som de rakte dem, medens Leviterne flaaede Huden af.
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.
Derpaa gjorde de Brændofrene rede for at give dem til de enkelte Afdelinger af Almuens Fædrenehuse, saa at de kunde frembæres for HERREN, som det er foreskrevet i Moses's Bog, og paa samme Maade gjorde de med Hornkvæget.
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.
Paaskedyrene stegte de over Ilden paa den foreskrevne Maade, men de hellige Stykker kogte de i Gryder, Kedler og Skaale og bragte dem skyndsomt til Almuen.
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.
Derefter gjorde de Paaskedyr rede til sig selv og Præsterne, thi Præsterne, Arons Sønner, var sysselsatte med at ofre Brændofrene og Fedtstykkerne lige til Nattens Frembrud; derfor gjorde Leviterne Ofre rede baade for sig selv og Præsterne, Arons Sønner.
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.
Sangerne, Asafs Sønner, var paa deres Plads efter Davids, Asafs, Hemans og Kongens Seer Jedutuns Bud, og Dørvogterne ved de forskellige Porte; de maatte ikke forlade deres Plads, men deres Brødre Leviterne gjorde Paaskedyr rede 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.
Saaledes ordnedes hele HERRENS Tjeneste den Dag, idet man fejrede Paasken og bragte Brændofre paa HERRENS Alter efter Kong Josias's Bud;
17 The Israelites who were present also observed the Passover at that time, as well as the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days.
og Israeliterne, som var til Stede, fejrede dengang Paasken og de usyrede Brøds Højtid i 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.
En Paaske som den var ikke blevet fejret i Israel siden Profeten Samuels Dage, og ingen af Israels Konger havde fejret en Paaske som den, Josias, Præsterne og Leviterne og alle de Judæere og Israeliter, som var til Stede, og Jerusalems Indbyggere fejrede.
19 In the eighteenth year of Josiah’s reign, this Passover was observed.
I Josias's attende Regeringsaar blev denne Paaske fejret.
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 sat Templet i Stand, drog Ægypterkongen Neko op til Kamp ved Karkemisj, der ligger ved Eufrat. Josias drog 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!”
men han sendte Sendebud til ham og lod sige: »Hvad er der mig og dig imellem, Judas Konge? Det er ikke dig, det nu gælder, men det Kongehus, jeg ligget i Krig med; og Gud har sagt, at jeg skulde haste. Gaa ikke imod den Gud, der er med mig, at han ikke skal ødelægge dig!«
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.
Josias vendte dog ikke om, men vovede at indlade sig i Kamp med ham; han tog ikke Hensyn til Nekos Ord, der dog kom fra Guds Mund, men drog ud til Kamp paa Megiddos Slette.
23 There the archers shot King Josiah, who said to his servants, “Take me away, for I am badly wounded!”
Da ramte Bueskytterne Kong Josias; og Kongen sagde til sine Folk: »Før mig bort, thi jeg er haardt 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.
Hans Folk bragte ham da bort fra Vognen og satte ham paa hans anden Vogn og førte ham til Jerusalem, hvor han døde. De jordede ham i hans 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.
Jeremias sang en Klagesang over Josias, og alle Sangerne og Sangerinderne talte i deres Klagesange om ham, som de gør den Dag i Dag; man gjorde dette til en staaende Skik i Israel, og Sangene staar optegnet blandt 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—
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Josias og hans fromme Gerninger, der stemte med, hvad der er foreskrevet i HERRENS Lov,
27 his acts from beginning to end—they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
hans Historie fra først til sidst staar jo optegnet i Bogen om Israels og Judas Konger.
