2 Chronicles 35
1 And Josias kept a phase to the Lord in Jerusalem, and it was sacrificed 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 And he set the priests in their offices, and exhorted them to minister in the house of the Lord.
Han satte Præsterne til det, de havde at varetage, og opmuntrede dem til Tjenesten i HERRENS Hus;
3 And he spoke to the Levites, by whose instruction all Israel was sanctified to the Lord, saying: Put the ark in the sanctuary of the temple, which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built: for you shall carry it no more: but minister now to the Lord your God, and to 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 houses, and families according to your courses, as David king of Israel commanded, and Solomon his son hath written.
Gør eder rede Fædrenehus for Fædrenehus, Skifte for Skifte, efter Kong David af Israels Forskrift og hans Søn Salomos Anvisning,
5 And serve ye in the sanctuary by the families and companies of Levi.
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 being sanctified kill the phase, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the words which the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses.
og slagt saa Paaskeofferdyrene, helliger eder og tillav dem til eders Brødre for at handle efter HERRENS Ord ved Moses.«
7 And Josias gave to all the people that were found there in the solemnity of the phase, of lambs and of kids of the flocks, and of other small cattle thirty thousand, and of oxen three thousand, all 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 willingly offered what they had vowed, both to the people and to the priests and the Levites. Moreover Helcias, and Zacharias, and Jahiel rulers of the house of the Lord, gave to the priests to keep the phase 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 Chonenias, and Semeias and Nathanael, his brethren, and Hasabias, and Jehiel, and Jozabad princes of the Levites, gave to the rest of the Levites to celebrate the phase 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 ministry was prepared, and the priests stood in their office: the Levites also in their companies, 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 the phase was immolated: and the priests sprinkled the blood with their hand, and the Levites flayed the holocausts:
De slagtede Paaskedyrene, og Præsterne sprængte Blodet, som de rakte dem, medens Leviterne flaaede Huden af.
12 And they separated them to give them by the houses and families of every one, and to be offered to the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses, and with the oxen they did in like manner.
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 phase with fire, according to that which is written in the law: but the victims of peace offerings they boiled in caldrons, and kettles, and pots, and they distributed them speedily among 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 And afterwards they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: for the priests were busied in offering of holocausts and the fat until night: wherefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron last.
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 stood in their order, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Idithun the prophets of the king: and the porters kept guard at every gate, so as not to depart one moment from their service: and therefore their brethren the Levites prepared meats 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 all the service of the Lord was duly accomplished that day, both in keeping the phase, and offering holocausts upon the altar of the Lord, according to the commandment of king Josias.
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 found there, kept the phase 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 There was no phase like to this in Israel, from the days of Samuel the prophet: neither did any of all the kings of Israel keep such a phase as Josias kept, with the priests, and the Levites, and all Juda, and Israel that were found, 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 Josias was this phase celebrated.
I Josias's attende Regeringsaar blev denne Paaske fejret.
20 After that Josias had repaired the temple, Nechao king of Egypt came up to fight in Charcamis by the Euphrates: and Josias went out to meet 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 he sent messengers to him, saying: What have I to do with thee, O king of Juda? I come not against thee this day, but I fight against another house, to which God hath commanded me to go in haste: forbear to do against God, who is with me, lest he kill thee.
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 Josias would not return, but prepared to fight against him, and hearkened not to the words of Nechao from the mouth of God, I but went to fight in the field of Mageddo.
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 there he was wounded by the archers, and he said to his servants: Carry me out of the battle, for I am grievously wounded.
Da ramte Bueskytterne Kong Josias; og Kongen sagde til sine Folk: »Før mig bort, thi jeg er haardt saaret!«
24 And they removed him from the chariot into another, that followed him after the manner of kings, and they carried him away to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in the monument of his fathers, and all Juda 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 Particularly Jeremias: whose lamentations for Josias all the singing men and singing women repeat unto this day, and it became like a law in Israel: Behold it is found 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 Now the rest of the acts of Josias and of his mercies, according to what was commanded by 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 And his works first and last, are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
hans Historie fra først til sidst staar jo optegnet i Bogen om Israels og Judas Konger.
