< 2 Kings 17 >
1 In the twelft yeere of Ahaz King of Iudah began Hoshea the sonne of Elah to reigne in Samaria ouer Israel, and reigned nine yeeres.
Idet tolvte Akas's, Judas Konges, Aar blev Hosea, Elas Søn, Konge i Samaria over Israel i ni Aar.
2 And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, but not as the Kinges of Israel, that were before him.
Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, dog ikke som Israels Konger, som vare før ham.
3 And Shalmaneser king of Asshur came vp against him, and Hoshea became his seruant, and gaue him presents.
Salmanasser, Kongen af Assyrien, drog op imod ham; og Hosea blev hans Tjener og gav ham Skænk.
4 And the King of Asshur founde treason in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So King of Egypt, and brought no present vnto the King of Asshur, as he had done yeerely: therfore the king of Asshur shut him vp, and put him in prison.
Men Kongen af Assyrien saa et Forbund deri, at Hosea havde sendt Bud til So, Kongen af Ægypten, og ikke bragt Skat til Kongen af Assyrien Aar for Aar; da satte Kongen af Assyrien ham fast og lagde ham bunden i et Fængsel.
5 Then the king of Asshur came vp throughout all the lande, and went against Samaria, and besieged it three yeere.
Thi Kongen af Assyrien drog op i det ganske Land og drog op til Samaria og belejrede den i tre Aar.
6 In the ninth yeere of Hoshea, the King of Asshur tooke Samaria, and caryed Israel away vnto Asshur, and put them in Halah, and in Habor by the riuer of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
I Hoseas niende Aar indtog Kongen af Assyrien Samaria og førte Israel bort til Assyrien; og han lod dem bo i Hala og i Habor ved Floden Gosan og i Medernes Stæder.
7 For when the children of Israel sinned against the Lord their God, which had brought them out of the land of Egypt, from vnder ye hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and feared other gods,
Og det skete, fordi Israels Børn havde syndet imod Herren deres Gud, som havde ført dem op af Ægyptens Land, fra at være under Faraos, Kongen af Ægyptens, Magt, og fordi de frygtede andre Guder;
8 And walked according to the facions of the Heathen, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel, and after the maners of the Kings of Israel, which they vsed,
og de vandrede i de Hedningers Skikke, hvilke Herren havde fordrevet for Israels Børns Ansigt, og i dem, som Israels Konger havde indført;
9 And the children of Israel had done secretly things that were not vpright before the Lord their God, and throughout all their cities had built hie places, both from the tower of the watch, to the defensed citie,
og Israels Børn skjulte Ting, som ikke var ret for Herren deres Gud og byggede sig Høje i alle Stæder, fra Vogternes Taarn indtil hver fast Stad;
10 And had made them images and groues vpon euery hie hill, and vnder euery greene tree,
og de oprejste sig Støtter og Astartebilleder paa hver ophøjet Høj og under hvert grønt Træ;
11 And there burnt incense in all the hie places, as did the heathen, whom the Lord had taken away before them, and wrought wicked things to anger the Lord,
og de gjorde Røgelse der paa alle Højene ligesom Hedningerne, hvilke Herren havde bortført fra deres Ansigt, og de gjorde onde Ting til at opirre Herren;
12 And serued idoles: whereof the Lord had sayd vnto them, Ye shall do no such thing,
og de tjente de stygge Afguder, om hvilke Herren havde sagt til dem: I skulle ikke gøre denne Ting;
13 Notwithstanding the Lord testified to Israel, and to Iudah by all the Prophets, and by all the Seers, saying, Turne from your euill wayes, and keepe my commandements and my statutes, according to all the Lawe, which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my seruants the Prophets.
og Herren lod vidne i Israel og i Juda ved alle sine Profeter, alle Seere, sigende: Vender om fra eders onde Veje og holder mine Bud, mine Skikke, efter den hele Lov, som jeg bød eders Fædre, og efter det, som jeg sendte til eder om ved mine Tjenere, Profeterne;
14 Neuerthelesse they would not obey, but hardened their neckes, like to the neckes of their fathers, that did not beleeue in the Lord their God.
men de havde ikke været lydige, men de forhærdede deres Nakke, ligesom deres Fædres Nakke, de, som ikke troede paa Herren deres Gud;
15 And they refused his statutes and his couenant, that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies (wherewith he witnessed vnto them) and they followed vanitie, and became vaine, and followed the heathen that were round about them: concerning whome the Lord had charged them, that they should not do like them.
tilmed forkastede de hans Skikke og hans Pagt, som han havde gjort med deres Fædre, og hans Vidnesbyrd, som han havde vidnet for dem, og de vandrede efter Forfængelighed og bleve forfængelige, og efter Hedningerne, der vare trindt omkring dem, om hvilke Herren havde budet dem, at de ikke skulde gøre som de;
16 Finally they left all the commandements of the Lord their God, and made them molten images, euen two calues, and made a groue, and worshipped all the hoste of heauen, and serued Baal.
ja de forlode alle Herren deres Guds Bud og gjorde sig støbte Billeder, to Kalve, og de gjorde Astartebilleder og tilbade al Himmelens Hær og tjente Baal;
17 And they made their sonnes and their daughters passe thorowe the fire, and vsed witchcraft and inchantments, yea, solde them selues to doe euill in the sight of the Lord, to anger him.
og de lode deres Sønner og deres Døtre gaa igennem Ilden og omgikkes med Spaadom og agtede paa Fugleskrig og solgte sig til at gøre det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, for at opirre ham: —
18 Therefore the Lord was exceeding wroth with Israel, and put them out of his sight, and none was left but the tribe of Iudah onely.
derfor blev Herren saare vred paa Israel og bortdrev dem fra sit Ansigt; der blev ingen tilovers uden Judas Stamme alene.
19 Yet Iudah kept not the commandements of the Lord their God, but walked according to the facion of Israel, which they vsed.
Heller ikke Juda holdt Herrens, deres Guds, Bud; men de vandrede efter Israels Skikke, som de havde indført.
20 Therefore the Lord cast off all the seede of Israel, and afflicted them, and deliuered them into the handes of spoylers, vntill he had cast them out of his sight.
Saa forkastede Herren al Israels Sæd og plagede dem og gav dem i Røveres Hænder, indtil han havde bortstødt dem fra sit Ansigt.
21 For he cut off Israel from the house of Dauid, and they made Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat King: and Ieroboam drewe Israel away from following the Lord, and made them sinne a great sinne.
Thi Israel havde revet sig løs fra Davids Hus, og de gjorde Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, til Konge; og Jeroboam drog Israel bort fra Herren og kom dem til at synde en stor Synd.
22 For the children of Israel walked in all the sinnes of Ieroboam, which he did, and departed not therefrom,
Og Israels Børn vandrede i alle Jeroboams Synder, som han gjorde; de vege ikke derfra,
23 Vntill the Lord put Israel away out of his sight, as he had said by all his seruants the Prophets, and caryed Israel away out of their land to Asshur vnto this day.
indtil Herren bortdrev Israel fra sit Ansigt, saaledes som han havde sagt ved alle sine Tjenere, Profeterne; saa blev Israel bortført fra sit Land til Assyrien indtil denne Dag.
24 And the King of Asshur brought folke from Babel, and from Cuthah, and from Aua, and from Hamath, and from Sepharuaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria in steade of the children of Israel: so they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
Og Kongen af Assyrien lod komme Folk af Babel og af Kut og af Ava og af Hamath og Sefarvajm og lod dem bo i Samarias Stæder, i Israels Børns Sted, og de indtoge Samaria til Ejendom og boede i dens Stæder.
25 And at the beginning of their dwelling there, they feared not the Lord: therefore the Lord sent lions among them, which slewe them.
Og det skete, der de begyndte at bo der, at de ikke frygtede Herren; da sendte Herren Løver iblandt dem, og disse sønderreve nogle af dem.
26 Wherefore they spake to the King of Asshur, saying, The nations which thou hast remoued, and placed in the cities of Samaria, knowe not the maner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and behold, they slay them, because they knowe not the maner of the God of the land.
Derfor sagde de til Kongen af Assyrien: De Hedninger, som du lod forflytte og bo i Samarias Stæder, kende ikke, hvad der er ret imod Landets Gud; derfor sendte han Løver iblandt dem, og se, disse sønderreve dem, fordi de ikke kende, hvad der er ret imod Landets Gud.
27 Then the King of Asshur commanded, saying, Carie thither one of the Priestes whome ye brought thence, and let him goe and dwell there, and teache them the maner of the God of the countrey.
Da bød Kongen af Assyrien og sagde: Fører en af de Præster derhen, som I bortførte derfra, og lader ham drage hen og bo der, at han kan lære dem, hvad der er ret imod Landets Gud.
28 So one of the Priestes, which they had caryed from Samaria, came and dwelt in Beth-el, and taught them how they shoulde feare the Lord.
Saa kom en af Præsterne, som de havde bortført fra Samaria, og boede i Bethel og lærte dem, hvorledes de skulde frygte Herren.
29 Howbeit euery nation made their gods, and put them in the houses of the hie places, which the Samaritanes had made, euery nation in their cities, wherein they dwelt.
Men hvert Folk gjorde sig sin Gud, og de satte dem i Husene paa de Høje, som Samaritanerne gjorde, hvert Folk i sine Stæder, hvori de boede.
30 For the men of Babel made Succoth-Benoth: and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
Thi de Mænd af Babel havde gjort Sukoth-Benoth, og de Mænd af Kut havde gjort Nergal, og de Mænd af Hamath havde gjort Asima,
31 And the Auims made Nibhaz, and Tartak: and the Sepharuims burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech, and Anammelech the gods of Sepharuaim.
og de al Ava havde gjort Nibhas og Tharthak, og de af Sefarvajm opbrændte deres Sønner i Ilden for Adramelek og Anamelek, Sefarvajms Guder.
32 Thus they feared the Lord, and appoynted out Priestes out of them selues for the hie places, who prepared for them sacrifices in the houses of the hie places.
De frygtede ogsaa Herren og gjorde sig i Flæng Præster paa Højene og gjorde Offer for dem i Husene paa Højene.
33 They feared the Lord, but serued their gods after the maner of the nations whome they caryed thence.
De frygtede Herren, og de tjente deres Guder efter de Hedningers Vis, som de vare bortførte fra.
34 Vnto this day they doe after the olde maner: they neyther feare God, neyther doe after their ordinances, nor after their customes, nor after the Lawe, nor after the commandement, which the Lord commanded the children of Iaakob, whom he named Israel,
De gøre efter den første Vis, indtil denne Dag; de frygte ikke Herren, ej heller gøre de efter deres Skikke og efter deres Befalinger og efter Loven og efter Budet, som Herren bød Jakobs Børn, hvis Navn han kaldte Israel;
35 And with whom the Lord had made a couenant, and charged them, saying, Feare none other gods, nor bowe your selues to them, nor serue them, nor sacrifice to them:
og Herren gjorde en Pagt med dem og bød dem, sigende: I skulle ikke frygte andre Guder og ikke tilbede dem og ikke tjene dem og ikke ofre til dem.
36 But feare the Lord which brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power, and a stretched out arme: him feare ye, and worshippe him, and sacrifice to him.
Men Herren, som førte eder op af Ægyptens Land med stor Kraft og med en udrakt Arm, ham skulle I frygte, og ham skulle I tilbede og ofre til.
37 Also keepe ye diligently the statutes and the ordinances, and the Lawe, and the commandement, which he wrote for you, that ye do them continually, and feare not other gods.
Og I skulle holde de Skikke og Befalinger og Loven og Budet, som han lod skrive for eder, at gøre derefter alle Dage; men I skulle ikke frygte andre Guder.
38 And forget not the couenant that I haue made with you, neither feare ye other gods,
Og I skulle ikke forglemme den Pagt, som jeg gjorde med eder, og ikke frygte andre Guder.
39 But feare the Lord your God, and he will deliuer you out of the handes of all your enemies.
Men I skulle frygte Herren eders Gud, og han skal fri eder fra alle eders Fjenders Haand.
40 Howbeit they obeyed not, but did after their olde custome.
Dog, de hørte ikke; men de gjorde efter deres første Vis.
41 So these nations feared the Lord, and serued their images also: so did their children, and their childrens children: as did their fathers, so do they vnto this day.
Saa frygtede disse Hedninger Herren og tjente deres Billeder; ogsaa deres Børn og deres Børnebørn, efter som deres Fædre gjorde, saa gøre de indtil denne Dag.
