2 Chronicles 28
1 Ahaz was twentie yeere old when he began to reigne, and reigned sixteene yeere in Ierusalem, and did not vprightly in the sight of the Lord, like Dauid his father.
Akaz var tyve Aar gammel da han blev Konge, og han herskede seksten Aar i Jerusalem. Han gjorde ikke, hvad der var ret i HERRENS Øjne, som hans Fader David,
2 But he walked in the wayes of ye Kings of Israel, and made euen molten images for Baalim.
men vandrede i Israels Kongers Spor Ja, han lod lave støbte Billeder til Ba'alerne;
3 Moreouer he burnt incense in the valley of Ben-hinnom, and burnt his sonnes with fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.
han tændte selv Offerild i Hinnoms Søns Dal og lod sine Sønner gaa igennem Ilden efter de Folks vederstyggelige Skik, som HERREN havde drevet bort foran Israeliterne.
4 He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the hie places, and on hilles, and vnder euery greene tree.
Han ofrede og tændte Offerild paa Offerhøjene og de høje Steder og under alle grønne Træer.
5 Wherefore the Lord his God deliuered him into the hand of the King of the Aramites, and they smote him, and tooke of his, many prisoners, and brought them to Damascus: and he was also deliuered into the hande of the King of Israel, which smote him with a great slaughter.
Derfor gav HERREN hans Gud ham i Arams Konges Haand, og de slog ham og tog mange af hans Folk til Fange og førte dem til Darmaskus. Ligeledes blev han givet i Israels Konges Haand, og denne tilføjede ham et stort Nederlag.
6 For Pekah the sonne of Remaliah slewe in Iudah sixe score thousand in one day, all valiant men, because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers.
Peka, Remaljas Søn, dræbte i Juda 120 000 Mennesker paa een Dag, lutter dygtige Krigsfolk, fordi de havde forladt HERREN, deres Fædres Gud.
7 And Zichri a mighty man of Ephraim slew Maaseiah the Kings sonne, and Azrikam the gouernour of the house, and Elkanah the second after the King.
Den efraimitiske Helt Zikri dræbte Kongesønnen Ma'aseja, Paladsøversten Azrikam og Elkana, den ypperste næst Kongen.
8 And the children of Israel tooke prisoners of their brethren, two hudreth thousand of women, sonnes and daughters, and caried away much spoyle of them, and brought the spoyle to Samaria.
Israeliterne bortførte fra deres Brødre 200 000 Hustruer, Sønner og Døtre som Fanger og fratog dem et stort Bytte, som de førte til Samaria.
9 But there was a Prophet of the Lordes, (whose name was Oded) and he went out before the hoste that came to Samaria, and said vnto them, Behold, because the Lord God of your fathers is wroth with Iudah, he hath deliuered them into your hand, and ye haue slaine them in a rage, that reacheth vp to heauen.
Her boede en HERRENS Profet ved Navn Oded; han gik Hæren i Møde, da den kom til Samaria, og sagde til dem: »Fordi HERREN, eders Fædres Gud, var vred paa Juda, gav han dem i eders Haand; men I har anrettet et Blodbad iblandt dem med et Raseri, der naar til Himmelen!
10 And nowe ye purpose to keepe vnder the children of Iudah and Ierusalem, as seruants and handmaides vnto you: but are not you such, that sinnes are with you before the Lord your God?
Og nu tænker I paa at faa Magten over Folkene fra Juda og Jerusalem og gøre dem til eders Trælle og Trælkvinder! Har I da ikke ogsaa selv nok paa Samvittigheden over for HERREN eders Gud!
11 Nowe therefore heare me, and deliuer the captiues againe, which ye haue taken prisoners of your brethren: for the fierce wrath of the Lord is toward you.
Lyd derfor mig og send de Fanger tilbage, som I har gjort blandt eders Brødre, thi HERRENS glødende Vrede er over eder!«
12 Wherefore certaine of the chiefe of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the sonne of Iehohanan, Berechiah the sonne of Meshillemoth, and Iehizkiah the sonne of Shallum, and Amasa the sonne of Hadlai, stood vp against them that came from the warre,
Da traadte nogle af Efraimiternes Overhoveder, Azarja, Johanans Søn, Berekja, Mesjillemots Søn, Hizkija, Sjallums Søn, og Amasa, Hadlajs Søn, frem for de hjemvendte Krigere
13 And said vnto them, Bring not in the captiues hither: for this shalbe a sinne vpon vs against the Lord: ye entende to adde more to our sinnes and to our trespasse, though our trespasse be great, and the fierce wrath of God is against Israel.
og sagde til dem: »I maa ikke bringe Fangerne herhen! Thi I har i Sinde at øge vore Synder og vor Skyld ud over den Skyld, vi har over for HERREN; thi stor er vor Skyld, og glødende Vrede er over Israel!«
14 So the armie left the captiues and the spoyle before the princes and all the Congregation.
Da gav de væbnede Slip paa Fangerne og Byttet i Øversternes og hele Forsamlingens Paasyn;
15 And the men that were named by name, rose vp and tooke the prisoners, and with the spoyle clothed all that were naked among them, and arayed them, and shod them, and gaue them meate, and gaue them drinke, and anoynted them, and caryed all that were feeble of them vpon asses, and brought them to Iericho the citie of Palme trees to their brethren: so they returned to Samaria.
og de ovenfor nævnte Mænd stod op og tog sig af Fangerne, gav alle de nøgne iblandt dem Klæder af Byttet, forsynede dem med Klæder og Sko, gav dem Mad og Drikke, salvede dem, lod dem, der ikke kunde gaa, ride paa Æsler og bragte dem til Jeriko, Palmestaden, hen i Nærheden af deres Brødre; derpaa vendte de tilbage til Samaria.
16 At that time did King Ahaz sende vnto the Kings of Asshur, to helpe him.
Paa den Tid sendte Kong Akaz Assyrerkongen Bud om Hjælp.
17 (For the Edomites came moreouer, and slew of Iudah, and caryed away captiues.
Tilmed trængte Edomiterne ind og slog Judæerne og slæbte Krigsfanger bort.
18 The Philistims also inuaded the cities in the low countrey, and toward the South of Iudah, and tooke Bethshemesh, and Aialon, and Gederoth and Shocho, with the villages thereof, and Timnah, with her villages, and Gimzo, with her villages, and they dwelt there.
Og Filisterne faldt ind i Lavlandets Byer og den judæiske Del af Sydlandet og indtog Bet-Sjemesj, Ajjalon, Gederot, Soko med Smaabyer, Timna med Smaabyer og Gimzo med Smaabyer og bosatte sig der.
19 For the Lord had humbled Iudah, because of Ahaz King of Israel: for he had brought vengeance vpon Iudah, and had grieuously transgressed against the Lord)
Thi HERREN ydmygede Juda for Kong Akaz af Judas Skyld, fordi han havde ladet Tøjlesløshed opkomme i Juda og været troløs mod HERREN.
20 And Tilgath Pilneeser king of Asshur came vnto him, who troubled him and did not strengthen him.
Men Assyrerkongen Tillegat-Pilneser drog imod ham og bragte ham i Nød i Stedet for at hjælpe ham;
21 For Ahaz tooke a portion out of the house of the Lord and out of the Kings house and of the Princes, and gaue vnto the king of Asshur: yet it helped him not.
thi Akaz plyndrede HERRENS Hus, og Kongens Palads og Øversternes Palads og gav det til Assyrerkongen, men det hjalp ham intet.
22 And in ye time of his tribulation did he yet trespasse more against ye Lord, (this is King Ahaz)
Og selv da Assyrerkongen bragte ham i Nød, var Kong Akaz paa ny troløs mod HERREN;
23 For he sacrificed vnto the gods of Damascus, which plagued him, and he sayd, Because the gods of the Kings of Aram helped them, I wil sacrifice vnto them, and they will helpe me: yet they were his ruine, and of all Israel.
han ofrede til Darmaskus's Guder, som havde slaaet ham, idet han sagde: »Aramæerkongernes Guder har jo hjulpet dem; til dem vil jeg ofre, at de ogsaa maa hjælpe mig!« Men de blev ham og hele Israel til Fald.
24 And Ahaz gathered the vessels of ye house of God, and brake the vessels of the house of God, and shut vp the doores of the house of the Lord, and made him altars in euery corner of Ierusalem.
Ogsaa samlede Akaz Karrene i Guds Hus og slog dem i Stykker; og han lukkede HERRENS Hus's Porte og lavede sig Altre ved hvert et Hjørne i Jerusalem;
25 And in euery citie of Iudah hee made hie places, to burne incense vnto other gods, and prouoked to anger the Lord God of his fathers.
og i hver eneste By i Juda indrettede han Offerhøje for at tænde Offerild for fremmede Guder; saaledes krænkede han HERREN, sine Fædres Gud.
26 Concerning the rest of his actes, and all his wayes first and last, beholde, they are written in the booke of the Kings of Iudah, and Israel.
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om ham og hele hans Færd fra først til sidst, staar jo optegnet i Bogen om Judas og Israels Konger.
27 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the citie of Ierusalem, but brought him not vnto the sepulchres of the Kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his sonne reigned in his stead.
Saa lagde Akaz sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og man jordede ham i Jerusalem, inde i Byen, thi man vilde ikke jorde ham i Israels Kongegrave; og hans Søn Ezekias blev Konge i hans Sted.
