Kings IV 21
1 Manasses [was] twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Apsiba.
Manasse var tolv Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede fem og halvtredsindstyve Aar i Jerusalem, og hans Moders Navn var Hefziba.
2 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, according to the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.
Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, efter de Hedningers Vederstyggeligheder, hvilke Herren havde fordrevet fra Israels Børns Ansigt.
3 And he built again the high places, which Ezekias his father [had] demolished; and set up an altar to Baal, and made groves as Achaab king of Israel [made them]; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
Og han byggede igen de Høje, som Ezekias, hans Fader, havde ødelagt, og oprejste Altre for Baal og gjorde et Astartebillede, ligesom Akab, Israels Konge, havde gjort, og tilbad al Himmelens Hær og tjente dem.
4 And he built an altar in the house of the Lord, whereas he had said, In Jerusalem I will place my name.
Og han byggede Altre i Herrens Hus, om hvilket Herren havde sagt: Jeg vil sætte mit Navn i Jerusalem.
5 And he built an altar to all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
Og han byggede Altre til Himmelens hele Hær i begge Forgaardene til Herrens Hus.
6 And he caused his sons to pass through the fire, and used divination and auspices, and made groves, and multiplied wizards, so as to do that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
Og han lod sin Søn gaa igennem Ilden og var en Dagvælger og agtede paa Fugleskrig og beskikkede Spaamænd og Tegnsudlæggere; han gjorde meget ondt for Herrens Øjne til at opirre ham.
7 And he set up the graven image of the grove in the house of which the Lord 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 even place my name for ever.
Og han satte det Astartebillede, som han havde gjort, i det Hus, om hvilket Herren havde sagt til David og til hans Søn Salomo: I dette Hus og i Jerusalem, som jeg udvalgte af alle Israels Stammer, vil jeg sætte mit Navn evindeligt;
8 And I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I gave to their fathers, [even of those] who shall keep all that I commanded, according to all the commandments which my servant Moses commanded them.
og jeg vil ikke ydermere lade Israels Fødder vandre bort fra Landet, som jeg gav deres Fædre, naar de kun holde ved at gøre efter alt det, som jeg har budet dem, og efter hele Loven, som Mose, min Tjener, bød dem.
9 But they listened not; and Manasses led them astray to do evil in the sight of the Lord, beyond the nations whom the Lord utterly destroyed from before the children of Israel.
Men de adløde ikke; og Manasse forførte dem til at handle værre end Hedningerne, hvilke Herren havde ødelagt for Israels Børns Ansigt.
10 And the Lord spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,
Da talte Herren ved sine Tjenere, Profeterne, og sagde:
11 Forasmuch as Manasses the king of Juda has wrought all these evil abominations, beyond all that the Amorite did, who lived before [him], and has led Juda also into sin by their idols,
Fordi Manasse, Judas Konge, har gjort disse Vederstyggeligheder, saa han har gjort noget værre end alt det, som Amoriterne gjorde, som vare for ham, og fordi han kom ogsaa Juda til at synde med sine stygge Afguder:
12 [it shall] not [be] so. Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I bring calamities upon Jerusalem and Juda, so that both the ears of every one that hears shall tingle.
Derfor saa sagde Herren Israels Gud: Se, jeg vil føre Ulykke over Jerusalem og Juda, at hvo det hører, for ham skulle begge hans Øren klinge.
13 And I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measure of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Achaab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a jar is wiped, and turned upside down in the wiping.
Og jeg vil udstrække Samarias Maalesnor over Jerusalem, samt veje den med Akabs Hus's Vægt, og jeg vil afviske Jerusalem, som den, der afvisker et Fad, afvisker og vender det helt om.
14 And I will reject the remnant of my inheritance, and will deliver them into the hands of their enemies; and they shall be for a plunder and for a spoil to all their enemies:
Og jeg vil bortstøde det overblevne af min Arv og give dem i deres Fjenders Haand, saa at de skulle blive til Bytte og til Rov for alle deres Fjender,
15 forasmuch as they have done wickedly in my sight, and have provoked me from the day that I brought out their fathers out of Egypt, even until this day.
fordi de gjorde det, som er ondt for mine Øjne, og opirrede mig fra den Dag, da deres Fædre droge ud af Ægypten, og indtil denne Dag.
16 Moreover Manasses shed very much innocent blood, until he filled Jerusalem [with it] from one end to the other, beside his sins with which he caused Juda to sin, in doing evil in the eyes of the Lord.
Tilmed udøste Manasse ogsaa saare meget uskyldigt Blod, indtil han fyldte Jerusalem fra den ene Ende til den anden; foruden hans Synd, med hvilken han kom Juda til at synde, til at gøre det onde for Herrens Øjne.
17 And the rest of the acts of Manasses, and all that he did, and his sin which he sinned, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
Men det øvrige af Manasses Handeler og alt det, han har gjort, og hans Synd, som han syndede, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog?
18 And Manasses slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his house, [even] in the garden of Oza: and Amos his son reigned in his stead.
Og Manasse laa med sine Fædre og blev begraven i sit Hus's Have, som var i Ussas Have, og Amon, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.
19 Twenty and two years old [was] Amos when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Mesollam, daughter of Arus of Jeteba.
Amon var to og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede to Aar i Jerusalem; og hans Moders Navn var Mesullemeth, Haruz's Datter fra Jotba.
20 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses his father did.
Og han gjorde det onde for Herrens Øjne, ligesom Manasse, Hans Fader, havde gjort.
21 And he walked in all the way in which his father walked, and served the idols which his father served, and worshipped them.
Og han vandrede i al den Vej, som hans Fader havde vandret, og tjente de stygge Afguder, som hans Fader havde tjent, og tilbad dem.
22 And he forsook the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.
Og han forlod Herren, sine Fædres Gud, og vandrede ikke i Herrens Vej.
23 And the servants of Amos conspired against him, and killed the king in his house.
Og Amons Tjenere forbandt sig imod ham, og de dræbte Kongen i hans Hus.
24 And the people of the land killed all that had conspired against king Amos; and the people of the land made Josias king in his room.
Og Folket i Landet ihjelslog alle dem, som havde forbundet sig imod Kong Amon; og Folket i Landet gjorde Josias, hans Søn, til Konge i hans Sted.
25 And the rest of the acts of Amos, [even] all that he did, behold, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
Men det øvrige af Amons Handeler, hvad han har gjort, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog?
26 And they buried him in his tomb in the garden of Oza: and Josias his son reigned in his stead.
Og man begrov ham i hans Grav, udi Ussas Have, og Josias, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.
