2 Chronicles 35
1 And Josiah held a passover to Jehovah in Jerusalem; and they slaughtered the passover on the fourteenth of the first month.
Derpaa fejrede Josias Paaske for HERREN i Jerusalem, og de slagtede Paaskelammet den fjortende Dag i den første Maaned.
2 And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of Jehovah.
Han satte Præsterne til det, de havde at varetage, og opmuntrede dem til Tjenesten i HERRENS Hus;
3 And he said to the Levites, that taught all Israel, [and] who were holy to Jehovah, Put the holy ark in the house that Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, built; ye have not to carry it upon your shoulders. Serve now Jehovah 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 and prepare yourselves by your fathers' houses, in your divisions, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son;
Gør eder rede Fædrenehus for Fædrenehus, Skifte for Skifte, efter Kong David af Israels Forskrift og hans Søn Salomos Anvisning,
5 and stand in the sanctuary for the classes of the fathers' houses, for your brethren, the children of the people, and [according] to the divisions of the fathers' houses 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 and slaughter the passover, and hallow yourselves, and prepare it for your brethren, that they may do according to the word of Jehovah through Moses.
og slagt saa Paaskeofferdyrene, helliger eder og tillav dem til eders Brødre for at handle efter HERRENS Ord ved Moses.«
7 And Josiah gave for the children of the people a heave-offering of the flocks, lambs and goats, all for the passover-offerings, for all that were present — to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of the king's substance.
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 And his princes gave a voluntary heave-offering for the people, for the priests, and for the Levites: Hilkijah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the passover-offerings two thousand six hundred [small cattle] and three hundred oxen;
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 and Conaniah, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave as heave-offering to the Levites for the passover-offerings five thousand [small cattle] and five hundred oxen.
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 And the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their divisions, according to the king's commandment.
Saaledes ordnedes Tjenesten, og Præsterne stod paa deres Plads, ligeledes Leviterne, Skifte for Skifte efter Kongens Bud.
11 And they slaughtered the passover, and the priests sprinkled [the blood] from their hand, and the Levites flayed them.
De slagtede Paaskedyrene, og Præsterne sprængte Blodet, som de rakte dem, medens Leviterne flaaede Huden af.
12 And they set apart the burnt-offerings to give them to the classes of the fathers' houses of the children of the people, to present them to Jehovah, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so [did they] with the oxen.
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 And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance; and the consecrated things they boiled in pots and in cauldrons and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the children of 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 And afterwards they made ready for themselves and for the priests; because the priests, the sons of Aaron, [were engaged] in offering up the burnt-offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests, the sons 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 And the singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; and the doorkeepers were at every gate; they had not to depart from their service, for their brethren the Levites prepared 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 And all the service of Jehovah was prepared the same day, to hold the passover, and to offer burnt-offerings on the altar of Jehovah according to the commandment 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 And the children of Israel that were present held the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
og Israeliterne, som var til Stede, fejrede dengang Paasken og de usyrede Brøds Højtid i syv Dage.
18 And there was no passover like to that holden in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel hold such a passover as Josiah held, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants 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 the reign of Josiah was this passover holden.
I Josias's attende Regeringsaar blev denne Paaske fejret.
20 After all this, when Josiah had arranged the house, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Karkemish at the Euphrates; and Josiah went out against 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 And he sent messengers to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house with which I have war; and God has told me to make haste: keep aloof from God who is with me, that he destroy thee not.
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 But Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight against him; and he hearkened not to the words of Necho from the mouth of God; and he came to fight in the valley 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 And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away, for I am sore wounded.
Da ramte Bueskytterne Kong Josias; og Kongen sagde til sine Folk: »Før mig bort, thi jeg er haardt saaret!«
24 And his servants took him out from the chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had, and brought him to Jerusalem. And he died, and was buried in the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
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 And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah; and all the singing men and singing women spoke of Josiah in their lamentations to this day; and they made them an ordinance for Israel. And behold, they are written in the lamentations.
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 And the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the law of Jehovah,
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Josias og hans fromme Gerninger, der stemte med, hvad der er foreskrevet i HERRENS Lov,
27 and his acts, first and last, behold, they are 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.
