2 Chronicles 30
1 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel, and Iudah, and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the Lord at Ierusalem, to keepe the Passeouer vnto the Lord God of Israel.
Siden sendte Ezekias til al Israel og Juda og skrev ogsaa Breve til Efraim og Manasse, at de skulde komme til Herrens Hus i Jerusalem, at holde Herren, Israels Gud, Paaske.
2 And the King and his princes and all the Congregation had taken counsel in Ierusalem to keepe the Passeouer in the second moneth.
Thi Kongen havde holdt et Raad med sine Fyrster og hele Forsamlingen i Jerusalem, at de vilde holde Paaske i den anden Maaned.
3 For they could not keepe it at this time, because there were not Priests enow sanctified, neither was the people gathered to Ierusalem.
Thi de kunde ikke holde den til den rette Tid; thi Præsterne havde ikke helliget sig i tilstrækkeligt Antal, og Folket var ikke samlet til Jerusalem.
4 And the thing pleased the King, and all the Congregation.
Og den Sag syntes ret for Kongens Øjne og for den ganske Forsamlings Øjne.
5 And they decreed to make proclamation throughout all Israel from Beersheba euen to Dan, that they should come to keepe the Passeouer vnto the Lord God of Israel at Ierusalem: for they had not done it of a great time, as it was written.
Og de toge den Bestemmelse, at de vilde lade udraabe igennem al Israel fra Beersaba og indtil Dan, at de skulde komme og holde Herren, Israels Gud, Paaske i Jerusalem; thi de havde ikke holdt den i noget stort Antal, som det var foreskrevet.
6 So the postes went with letters by the commission of the King, and his princes, thorowout all Israel and Iudah, and with the commandement of the King, saying, Ye children of Israel, turne againe vnto the Lord God of Abraham, Izhak, and Israel, and he will returne to the remnant that are escaped of you, out of ye hands of the Kings of Asshur.
Og Løberne gik med Breve fra Kongens og hans Øversters Haand igennem al Israel og Juda og efter Kongens Befaling og sagde: I Israels Børn! vender om til Herren, Abrahams, Isaks og Israels Gud, saa skal han vende sig om til de undkomne, som ere blevne tilovers for eder fra Assyriens Kongers Haand.
7 And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the Lord God of their fathers: and therfore he made them desolate, as ye see.
Og værer ikke som eders Fædre og som eders Brødre, der forgrebe sig imod Herren, deres Fædres Gud; derfor gav han dem hen til en Ødelæggelse, saaledes som I se.
8 Be not ye now stiffenecked like your fathers, but giue the hand to the Lord, and come into his sanctuarie, which he hath sanctified for euer, and serue the Lord your God, and the fiercenesse of his wrath shall turne away from you.
Nu, forhærder ikke eders Nakke som eders Fædre, giver Herren Haanden og kommer til hans Helligdom, som han har helliget evindelig, og tjener Herren eders Gud, saa skal hans strenge Vrede vende sig fra eder.
9 For if ye returne vnto the Lord, your brethren and your children shall finde mercy before them that led them captiues, and they shall returne vnto this lande: for the Lord your God is gracious and mercifull, and will not turne away his face from you, if ye conuert vnto him.
Thi naar I omvende eder til Herren, skulle eders Brødre og eders Børn finde Barmhjertighed for deres Ansigt, som holde dem fangne, saa at de skulle komme tilbage til dette Land; thi Herren eders Gud er naadig og barmhjertig og skal ikke lade sit Ansigt vige fra eder, dersom I omvende eder til ham.
10 So the postes went from citie to citie thorow the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, euen vnto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorne, and mocked them.
Og Løberne gik fra den ene Stad til den anden i Efraims og Manasses Land og indtil Sebulon; men man lo ad dem og bespottede dem.
11 Neuerthelesse diuers of Asher, and Manasseh, and of Zebulun submitted themselues, and came to Ierusalem.
Dog nogle af Aser og Manasse og af Sebulon ydmygede sig og kom til Jerusalem.
12 And the hand of God was in Iudah, so that he gaue them one heart to doe the commandement of the King, and of the rulers, according to the worde of the Lord.
Guds Haand var og over Juda, saa at han gav dem et Hjerte til at gøre efter Kongens og de Øverstes Bud, efter Herrens Ord.
13 And there assembled to Ierusalem much people, to keepe the feast of ye vnleauened bread in the second moneth, a very great assemblie.
Og der samledes meget Folk til Jerusalem for at holde de usyrede Brøds Højtid i den anden Maaned, en saare stor Forsamling.
14 And they arose, and tooke away the altars that were in Ierusalem: and all those for incense tooke they away, and cast them into the brooke Kidron.
Og de gjorde sig rede og borttoge Altrene, som vare i Jerusalem, og de borttoge alle Røgelsekar og kastede dem i Kedrons Bæk.
15 Afterwarde they slewe the Passeouer the fourteenth day of the seconde moneth: and the Priestes and Leuites were ashamed, and sanctified themselues, and brought the burnt offrings into the house of the Lord.
Og de slagtede Paaskelammet den fjortende Dag i den anden Maaned; og Præsterne og Leviterne bleve skamfulde, og de helligede sig og førte Brændofre til Herrens Hus.
16 And they stoode in their place after their maner, according to the Lawe of Moses the man of God: and the Priestes sprinkled the blood, receiued of the handes of the Leuites.
Og de stode paa deres Sted, efter deres Skik, efter Moses, den Guds Mands Lov; Præsterne stænkede Blodet, hvilket de modtoge af Leviternes Haand.
17 Because there were many in the Congregation that were not sanctified, therefore the Leuites had the charge of the killing of ye Passeouer for all that were not cleane, to sanctifie it to the Lord.
Thi der var mange i Forsamlingen, som ikke havde helliget sig, derfor slagtede Leviterne Paaskelammene for alle dem, som ikke vare rene, for at hellige dem for Herren.
18 For a multitude of the people, euen a multitude of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun had not cleansed themselues, yet did eate the Passeouer, but not as it was written: wherefore Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good Lord be mercifull toward him,
Thi der var meget Folk, meget af Efraim og Manasse, Isaskar og Sebulon, som ikke vare rensede, men dog aade Paaskelam, ikke som det var foreskrevet; men Ezekias bad for dem og sagde: Herren, som er god, gøre Forligelse
19 That prepareth his whole heart to seeke the Lord God, the God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed, according to the purification of the Sanctuarie.
for hver den, som har beredet sit Hjerte til at søge Gud Herren, sine Fædres Gud, om det end ikke er efter Helligdommens Renhed!
20 And the Lord heard Hezekiah, and healed the people.
Og Herren bønhørte Ezekias og lægede Folket.
21 And the children of Israel that were present at Ierusalem, kept the feast of the vnleauened bread seuen dayes with great ioye, and the Leuites, and the Priestes praysed the Lord, day by day, singing with loude instruments vnto the Lord.
Saa holdt Israels Børn, som fandtes i Jerusalem, de usyrede Brøds Højtid syv Dage med stor Glæde; og Præsterne og Leviterne lovede Herren Dag for Dag med stærkt lydende Instrumenter for Herren.
22 And Hezekiah spake comfortably vnto all the Leuites that had good knowledge to sing vnto the Lord: and they did eate in that feast seuen dayes, and offred peace offrings, and praysed the Lord God of their fathers.
Og Ezekias talte kærligt til alle de Leviter, som viste god Forstand paa, hvad der vedkom Herren; og de aade Højtidsofre syv Dage og ofrede Takofre og takkede Herren, deres Fædres Gud.
23 And the whole assembly tooke counsel to keepe it other seuen dayes. So they kept it seuen dayes with ioy.
Da den ganske Forsamling havde holdt Raad om at holde andre syv Dage, saa holdt de endnu syv Dage med Glæde.
24 For Hezekiah King of Iudah had giuen to the Congregation a thousande bullockes, and seuen thousand sheepe. And the princes had giuen to the Congregation a thousand bullocks, and ten thousand sheepe: and many Priests were sanctified.
Thi Ezekias, Judas Konge, gav til Forsamlingen tusinde Okser og syv Tusinde Faar, og de Øverste gave til Forsamlingen tusinde Okser og ti Tusinde Faar; saa helligede mange Præster sig.
25 And all the Congregation of Iudah reioyced with the Priestes and the Leuites, and all the Congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Iudah.
Og hele Forsamlingen af Juda glædede sig og Præsterne og Leviterne og den hele Forsamling, som var kommen fra Israel, og de fremmede, som vare komne fra Israels Land, og de som boede i Juda.
26 So there was great ioye in Ierusalem: for since the time of Salomon the sonne of Dauid King of Israel there was not the like thing in Ierusalem.
Og der var en stor Glæde i Jerusalem; thi fra Salomos, Davids Søns, Israels Konges, Dage af var ikke sket noget saadant i Jerusalem.
27 Then the Priests and the Leuites arose, and blessed the people, and their voyce was heard, and their prayer came vp vnto heauen, to his holy habitation.
Da stode Præsterne, Leviterne, op og velsignede Folket, og deres Røst blev hørt; thi deres Bøn kom til hans hellige Bolig i Himmelen.
