2 Chronicles 35
1 Josiah held a Passover for the Lord in Jerusalem, and the Passover lamb was killed on the fourteenth day of the first month.
Og Josias holdt Paaske for Herren i Jerusalem, og de slagtede Paaskelam paa den fjortende Dag i den første Maaned.
2 He assigned the priests to their respective duties and encouraged them in their ministry at the Lord's Temple.
Og han beskikkede Præsterne til det, de skulde varetage, og styrkede dem til deres Tjeneste i Herrens Hus.
3 Josiah told the Levites who taught all Israel and were holy to the Lord, “Place the holy Ark in the Temple built by Solomon, son of David, king of Israel. It's not necessary for you to carry it around on your shoulders any more. Your responsibility now is to serve the Lord your God and his people Israel.
Og han sagde til Leviterne, som underviste al Israel om de hellige Ting for Herren: Sætter den hellige Ark i Huset, som Salomo, Davids Søn, Israels Konge, har bygget; I have ingen Byrde at bære paa Skuldre, tjener nu Herren eders Gud og hans Folk Israel,
4 Get yourselves ready for service in your divisions, by families, according to the instructions given by David, king of Israel, and his son Solomon.
og bereder eder efter eders Fædrenehuse, efter eders Skifter, som det er foreskrevet af David, Israels Konge, og foreskrevet af Salomo, hans Søn;
5 Then you are to stand in the sanctuary to assist the lay people according to family divisions, following the assignments according to your Levite family divisions.
og staar i Helligdommen efter Afdelingerne af Fædrenehusene iblandt eders Brødre, Folkets Børn, og efter hver Afdeling af Fædrenes Huse iblandt Leviterne;
6 Sacrifice the Passover lambs, purify yourselves, and be ready to help the people who come to fulfill the requirements given by the Lord through Moses.”
og slagter Paaskelam, helliger eder og bereder det for eders Brødre, idet I gøre efter Herrens Ord ved Mose.
7 Josiah contributed as Passover offerings for all the people who were present 30,000 lambs and goats, and 3,000 bulls, all from his own flocks and herds.
Og Josias gav Folkets Børn smaat Kvæg, Lam og Kid, alt sammen til Paaske for alle dem, som vare til Stede, efter Tallet tredive Tusinde, og tre Tusinde Øksne; disse bleve givne af Kongens Gods.
8 His officials contributed freely to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, who were in charge of God's Temple, gave the priests as Passover offerings 2,600 Passover lambs and 300 bulls.
Ogsaa gave hans Fyrster en frivillig Gave til Folket, til Præsterne og til Leviterne, nemlig Hilkia og Sakaria og Jehiel, Øverster i Guds Hus, gave Præsterne to Tusinde og seks Hundrede Stykker smaat Kvæg til Paaske og tre Hundrede Øksne.
9 The leaders of the Levites, Conaniah, and Shemaiah and Nethanel his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, gave the Levites as Passover offerings 5,000 lambs and young goats and 500 bulls.
Men Kanania og Semaja og Nethaneel, hans Brødre, ligeledes Hasabia og Jehiel og Josabad, Leviternes Øverster, gave fem Tusinde Stykker smaat Kvæg til Paaske og fem Hundrede Øksne.
10 Once the preparations had been completed, the priests stood where they had been assigned and the Levites took their places in their divisions as the king had ordered.
Saa blev Tjenesten beredet; og Præsterne stode paa deres Sted, og Leviterne efter deres Skifter ifølge Kongens Befaling,
11 They killed the Passover lambs, the priests sprinkled the blood they were given on the altar, while the Levites skinned the sacrifices.
og disse slagtede Paaskelammene, og Præsterne stænkede med Blodet, som de modtoge af deres Hænder, og Leviterne flaaede Lammene.
12 They put to one side the burnt offerings to be given to the families of the lay people, by division, to offer to the Lord, as required in the Book of Moses. They did the same thing with the bulls.
Og de skilte Brændofferet derfra, at de kunde give det til Afdelingerne af Fædrenehusene iblandt Folkets Børn for at ofre det til Herren, som der er skrevet i Mose Bog; og ligervis med Øksnene.
13 They roasted the Passover sacrifices on the fire as requires, and they boiled the holy offerings in pots, caldrons, and pans, and took them quickly to the lay people.
Og de stegte Paaskelammet ved Ilden paa sædvanlig Vis, men det, som var helliget, kogte de i Gryder og i Kedler og i Pander, og de sendte det i Hast til alle Folkets Børn.
14 After that they prepared food from the offerings for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were busy presenting burnt offerings and fat until night came. So the Levites did this work for themselves and for the priests, the descendants of Aaron.
Og derefter tilberedte de for sig og for Præsterne; thi Præsterne, Arons Børn, havde Brændofferet og Fedtstykkerne at ofre indtil Natten; derfor tilberedte Leviterne for sig og for Præsterne, Arons Børn.
15 The singers, the descendants of Asaph, were in their places following the instructions given by David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, the king's seer. The gatekeepers in charge at each gate did not need to leave, because their fellow Levites provided for them.
Og Sangerne, Asafs Børn, stode paa deres Sted efter Davids og Asafs og Hemans og Jeduthuns, Kongens Seeres, Bud og Portnerne ved hver Port; de maatte ikke vige fra deres Tjeneste, thi deres Brødre Leviterne tilberedte for dem.
16 So on that day the whole Passover service of the Lord was took place, including the presenting of burnt offerings on the altar of the Lord, as King Josiah had ordered.
Saa blev al Herrens Tjeneste beskikket paa samme Dag med at holde Paaske og at ofre Brændofre paa Herrens Alter efter Kong Josias Befaling.
17 The Israelites who were there also celebrated Passover at that time, and also the Feast of Unleavened Bread for the following seven days.
Saa holdt Israels Børn, som vare til Stede, Paasken paa den samme Tid og de usyrede Brøds Højtid syv Dage.
18 No Passover like this had been held in Israel since the time of Samuel the prophet. None of the kings of Israel had ever held a Passover like the one that Josiah observed with the priests, the Levites, all of Judah, the Israelites who were there, and the people of Jerusalem.
Og der var ikke holdt Paaske som denne i Israel fra Profeten Samuels Dage af, og ingen Konge i Israel havde holdt saadan Paaske, som Josias holdt med Præsterne og Leviterne og hele Juda og Israel, som vare til Stede, og Indbyggerne i Jerusalem.
19 This Passover was observed in the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah.
I det attende Josias's Regerings Aar blev denne Paaske holdt.
20 After all this work that Josiah had carried out in restoring the Temple, King Neco of Egypt was leading his army to fight at Carchemish near the Euphrates, and Josiah went to confront him.
Efter alt dette, da Josias havde istandsat Huset, drog Neko, Kongen af Ægypten, op at stride ved Karkemis ved Frat, og Josias drog ud imod ham.
21 Neco sent messengers to him, saying, “What argument is there between you and me, king of Judah? I have not come to attack you today, because I'm fighting with another kingdom. God told me I should hurry, so stop obstructing God, who is with me, or he'll destroy you!”
Da sendte han Bud til ham og lod sige: Hvad har jeg at gøre med dig, Judas Konge? imod dig kommer jeg ikke paa denne Dag, men imod det Hus, som har Krig med mig, og Gud har sagt, at jeg skulde haste; hold op med at være imod Gud, som er med mig, at han ikke lægger dig øde!
22 But Josiah did not turn away and leave. Instead, he disguised himself so he could fight Neco in battle. He ignored Neco's message that came from God, and went to fight him on the Plain of Megiddo.
Dog vendte Josias ikke sit Ansigt bort fra ham, men forklædte sig for at stride imod ham og lød ikke Nekos Ord, som vare fra Guds Mund, men han kom at stride i Megiddo Dal.
23 There archers shot King Josiah. He called out those beside him, “Get me out of the battle, because I'm badly wounded!”
Og Skytterne skøde paa Kong Josias; da sagde Kongen til sine Tjenere: Fører mig bort, thi jeg er svarlig saaret.
24 So they carried him out of his chariot, and took him back in his second chariot to Jerusalem, where he died. Josiah was buried in the tomb of his forefathers. All Judah and Jerusalem wept for him.
Og hans Tjenere førte ham bort fra Vognen og lode ham køre bort paa den anden Vogn, som han havde, og førte ham til Jerusalem, og han døde og blev begraven i sine Fædres Grave; og hele Juda og Jerusalem sørgede over Josias.
25 Then Jeremiah wrote a lament over Josiah, and to this day male and female choirs sing sad songs about Josiah. They have become a part of what is regularly sung in Israel, and they are recorded in the Book of Laments.
Og Jeremias sang en Klagesang over Josias, i lige Maade talte alle Sangerne og Sangerskerne i deres Klagesange om Josias indtil denne Dag, og de gjorde en Skik deraf i Israel; og se, de ere opskrevne iblandt Klagesangene.
26 The rest of what Josiah did, along with his acts of loyalty following what is written in the Law of the Lord,
Men det øvrige at Josias's Handeler, og hans fromme Gerninger, eftersom skrevet er i Herrens Lov,
27 all his actions, from beginning to end, are recorded in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
ja hans Handeler, de første og de sidste, se, de ere skrevne i Israels og Judas Kongers Bog.
