2 Kings 14
1 In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, began Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, to reign.
I Joahaz' Søns, Kong Joas af Israel, andet Regeringsår blev Amazja, Joas's Søn, Konge over Juda.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
Han var fem og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede ni og tyve År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Jehoaddan og var fra Jerusalem.
3 And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, yet not like David his father: he did according to all that Joash his father had done.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENs Øjne, om end ikke som hans Fader David; han handlede ganske som sin Fader Joas.
4 Only, the high places were not removed: the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
Hun forsvandt Offerhøjene ikke. men Folket blev ved med at ofre og tænde Offerild på Højene.
5 And it came to pass when the kingdom was established in his hand, that he slew his servants who had smitten the king his father.
Da han havde sikret sig Magten, lod han dem af sine Folk dræbe, der havde dræbt hans Fader Kongen;
6 But the children of those that smote [him] he did not put to death; according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein Jehovah commanded saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
men Mordernes Børn lod han ikke ihjelslå, i Henhold til hvad der står skrevet i Moses's Lovbog, hvor HERREN byder: "Fædre skal ikke lide Døden for Børns Skyld, og Børn skal ikke lide Døden for Fædres Skyld. Men enhver skal lide Døden for sin egen Synd."
7 He smote of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and took Sela in the war, and called the name of it Joktheel to this day.
Det var ham, der slog Edom i Saltdalen, 10.000 Mand, og indtog Sela, og han kaldte det Jokte'el, som det hedder den Dag i Dag.
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.
Ved den Tid sendte Amazja Sendebud til Jebus Søn Joahaz's Søn, Kong Joas af Israel, og lod sige: "Kom, lad os se hinanden under Øjne!"
9 And Jehoash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thorn-bush that is in Lebanon sent to the cedar that is in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son as wife; and there passed by the wild beast that is in Lebanon, and trode down the thorn-bush.
Men Kong Joas af Israel sendte Kong Amazja af Juda det Svar: "Tidselen på Libanon sendte engang det Bud til Cederen på Libanon: Giv min Søn din Datter til Ægte! Men Libanons vilde byr løb hen over Tidselen og trampede den ned.
10 Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thy heart has lifted thee up: boast thyself, and abide at home; for why shouldest thou contend with misfortune, that thou shouldest fall, thou, and Judah with thee?
Du har slået Edom, og det har gjort dig overmodig; lad dig nu nøje med den Ære og bliv, hvor du er! Hvorfor vil du udfordre Ulykken og udsætte både dig selv og Juda for Fald?"
11 But Amaziah would not hear. And Jehoash king of Israel went up; and they looked one another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Beth-shemesh, which is in Judah.
Men Amazja vilde intet høre. Så drog Kong Joas af Israel ud, og han og Kong Amazja af Juda så hinanden under Øjne ved Bet Sjemesj i Juda;
12 And Judah was routed before Israel; and they fled every man to his tent.
Juda blev slået af Israel, og de flygtede hver til sit.
13 And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner-gate, four hundred cubits.
Men Kong Joas af Israel tog Ahazjas Søn Joas's Søn. Kong Amazja af Juda, til Fange ved BetSjemesj og førte ham til Jerusalem. Derpå nedrev han Jerusalems Mur på en Strækning af 400 Alen, fra Efraimsporten til Hjørneporten;
14 And he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king's house, and hostages, and returned to Samaria.
og han tog alt det Guld og Sølv og alle de Kar, der fandtes i HERRENs Hus og i Skatkammeret i Kongens Palads; desuden tog han Gidsler og vendte så tilbage til Samaria.
15 And the rest of the acts of Jehoash, what he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Joas, alt, hvad han udførte, og alle hans Heltegerninger, og hvorledes han førte Krig med Kong Amazja af Juda, står jo optegoet i Israels Kongers Krønike.
16 And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.
Så lagde Joas sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i Samaria hos Israels Konger; og hans Søn Jeroboam blev Konge i hans Sted.
17 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years.
Joas's Søn, Kong Amazja af Juda, levede endnu femten År, efter at Joahaz's Søn, Kong Joas af Israel, var død.
18 And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Amazja, står jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.
19 And they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish; and they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there.
Da der stiftedes en Sammensværgelse mod ham i Jerusalem, flygtede han til Lakisj; men der blev sendt Folk efter ham til Lakisj, og de dræbte ham der.
20 And they brought him on horses, and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers, in the city of David.
Så løftede man ham op på Heste, og han blev jordet i Jerusalem hos sine Fædre i Davidsbyen.
21 And all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.
Hele Folket i Juda tog så Azarja, der dengang var seksten År gammel, og gjorde ham til Konge i hans Fader Amazjas Sted.
22 It was he that built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after the king slept with his fathers.
Det var ham, der befæstede Elat og atter forenede det med Juda, efter at Kongen havde lagt sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre.
23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, began to reign in Samaria, for forty-one years.
I Joas's Søns, Kong Amazja af Judas, femtende Regeringsår ble Jeroboam, Joas's Søn, Konge over Israel, og han herskede een og fyrretyve År i Samaria.
24 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah: he departed not from any of the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, og veg ikke fra nogen af de Synder, Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, havde forledt Israel til.
25 He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath as far as the sea of the plain, according to the word of Jehovah the God of Israel, which he had spoken through his servant Jonah the prophet, the son of Amittai, who was of Gath-Hepher.
Han tog Israels Landområde tilbage fra Egnen hen imod Hamat og til Arabasøen, efter det Ord, HERREN, Israels Gud, havde talet ved sin Tjener, Profeten Jonas, Amittajs Søn, fra Gat-Hefer.
26 For Jehovah saw that the affliction of Israel was very bitter; and that there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel.
Thi HERREN havde set Israels bitre Kvide, hvorledes de reves bort alle som een, fordi Israel ikke havde nogen Hjælper;
27 And Jehovah had not said that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the heavens; and he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
og HERREN havde ikke talet om, at han vilde udslette Israels Navn under Himmelen, derfor frelste han dem ved Jeroboam, Joas's Søn.
28 And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered for Israel that [which had belonged] to Judah in Damascus and in Hamath, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jeroboam, alt, hvad han udførte, og hans Heltegerninger, hvorledes han førte Krig, og hvorledes han tog Damaskus og Hamat til bage til Israel, står jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.
29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his stead.
Så lagde Jeroboam sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i Samaria hos Israels Konger; og hans Søn Zekarja blev Konge i hans Sted.
