< 2 Kings 21 >
1 Manasseh was twelue yeere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned fiftie and fiue yeere in Ierusalem: his mothers name also was Hephzi-bah.
Manasse var tolv Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede fem og halvtredsindstyve Aar i Jerusalem, og hans Moders Navn var Hefziba.
2 And he did euill in the sight of the Lord after the abomination of the heathen, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.
Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, efter de Hedningers Vederstyggeligheder, hvilke Herren havde fordrevet fra Israels Børns Ansigt.
3 For he went backe and built the hie places, which Hezekiah his father had destroyed: and he erected vp altars for Baal, and made a groue, as did Ahab King of Israel, and worshipped all the hoste of heauen and serued them.
Og han byggede igen de Høje, som Ezekias, hans Fader, havde ødelagt, og oprejste Altre for Baal og gjorde et Astartebillede, ligesom Akab, Israels Konge, havde gjort, og tilbad al Himmelens Hær og tjente dem.
4 Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, of the which the Lord saide, In Ierusalem will I put my Name.
Og han byggede Altre i Herrens Hus, om hvilket Herren havde sagt: Jeg vil sætte mit Navn i Jerusalem.
5 And he built altars for al the hoste of ye heauen in the two courtes of the house of the Lord.
Og han byggede Altre til Himmelens hele Hær i begge Forgaardene til Herrens Hus.
6 And he caused his sonnes to passe through the fire, and gaue him selfe to witchcraft and sorcerie, and he vsed them that had familiar spirits and were soothsayers, and did much euill in the sight of the Lord to anger him.
Og han lod sin Søn gaa igennem Ilden og var en Dagvælger og agtede paa Fugleskrig og beskikkede Spaamænd og Tegnsudlæggere; han gjorde meget ondt for Herrens Øjne til at opirre ham.
7 And he set the image of the groue, that he had made, in the house, whereof ye Lord had saide to Dauid and to Salomon his sonne, In this house and in Ierusalem, which I haue chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my Name for euer.
Og han satte det Astartebillede, som han havde gjort, i det Hus, om hvilket Herren havde sagt til David og til hans Søn Salomo: I dette Hus og i Jerusalem, som jeg udvalgte af alle Israels Stammer, vil jeg sætte mit Navn evindeligt;
8 Neither will I make the feete of Israel, mooue any more out of the lande, which I gaue their fathers: so that they will obserue and doe all that I haue commanded them, and according to all the Lawe that my seruant Moses commanded them.
og jeg vil ikke ydermere lade Israels Fødder vandre bort fra Landet, som jeg gav deres Fædre, naar de kun holde ved at gøre efter alt det, som jeg har budet dem, og efter hele Loven, som Mose, min Tjener, bød dem.
9 Yet they obeyed not, but Manasseh ledde them out of the way, to doe more wickedly then did the heathen people, whom the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel.
Men de adløde ikke; og Manasse forførte dem til at handle værre end Hedningerne, hvilke Herren havde ødelagt for Israels Børns Ansigt.
10 Therefore the Lord spake by his seruants the Prophets, saying,
Da talte Herren ved sine Tjenere, Profeterne, og sagde:
11 Because that Manasseh King of Iudah hath done such abominations, and hath wrought more wickedly then al that the Amorites (which were before him) did, and hath made Iudah sinne also with his idoles,
Fordi Manasse, Judas Konge, har gjort disse Vederstyggeligheder, saa han har gjort noget værre end alt det, som Amoriterne gjorde, som vare for ham, og fordi han kom ogsaa Juda til at synde med sine stygge Afguder:
12 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Beholde, I will bring an euill vpon Ierusalem and Iudah, that who so heareth of it, both his eares shall tingle.
Derfor saa sagde Herren Israels Gud: Se, jeg vil føre Ulykke over Jerusalem og Juda, at hvo det hører, for ham skulle begge hans Øren klinge.
13 And I will stretch ouer Ierusalem the line of Samaria, and the plommet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Ierusalem, as a man wipeth a dish, which he wipeth, and turneth it vpside downe.
Og jeg vil udstrække Samarias Maalesnor over Jerusalem, samt veje den med Akabs Hus's Vægt, og jeg vil afviske Jerusalem, som den, der afvisker et Fad, afvisker og vender det helt om.
14 And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliuer them into the hande of their enemies, and they shalbe robbed and spoyled of all their aduersaries,
Og jeg vil bortstøde det overblevne af min Arv og give dem i deres Fjenders Haand, saa at de skulle blive til Bytte og til Rov for alle deres Fjender,
15 Because they haue done euil in my sight, and haue prouoked mee to anger, since the time their fathers came out of Egypt vntill this day.
fordi de gjorde det, som er ondt for mine Øjne, og opirrede mig fra den Dag, da deres Fædre droge ud af Ægypten, og indtil denne Dag.
16 Moreouer Manasseh shed innocent blood exceeding much, till hee replenished Ierusalem from corner to corner, beside his sinne wherwith he made Iudah to sinne, and to doe euill in the sight of the Lord.
Tilmed udøste Manasse ogsaa saare meget uskyldigt Blod, indtil han fyldte Jerusalem fra den ene Ende til den anden; foruden hans Synd, med hvilken han kom Juda til at synde, til at gøre det onde for Herrens Øjne.
17 Concerning the rest of the actes of Manasseh, and all that hee did, and his sinne that he sinned, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
Men det øvrige af Manasses Handeler og alt det, han har gjort, og hans Synd, som han syndede, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog?
18 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, euen in the garden of Vzza: and Amon his sonne reigned in his steade.
Og Manasse laa med sine Fædre og blev begraven i sit Hus's Have, som var i Ussas Have, og Amon, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.
19 Amon was two and twentie yere olde, when he began to reigne, and hee reygned two yeere in Ierusalem: his mothers name also was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Iotbah.
Amon var to og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede to Aar i Jerusalem; og hans Moders Navn var Mesullemeth, Haruz's Datter fra Jotba.
20 And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh did.
Og han gjorde det onde for Herrens Øjne, ligesom Manasse, Hans Fader, havde gjort.
21 For hee walked in all the way that his father walked in, and serued the idoles that his father serued, and worshipped them.
Og han vandrede i al den Vej, som hans Fader havde vandret, og tjente de stygge Afguder, som hans Fader havde tjent, og tilbad dem.
22 And he forsooke the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.
Og han forlod Herren, sine Fædres Gud, og vandrede ikke i Herrens Vej.
23 And the seruantes of Amon conspired against him, and slewe the King in his owne house.
Og Amons Tjenere forbandt sig imod ham, og de dræbte Kongen i hans Hus.
24 And the people of the land slewe all them that had conspired against King Amon, and the people made Iosiah his sonne King in his steade.
Og Folket i Landet ihjelslog alle dem, som havde forbundet sig imod Kong Amon; og Folket i Landet gjorde Josias, hans Søn, til Konge i hans Sted.
25 Concerning the rest of the actes of Amon, which he did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
Men det øvrige af Amons Handeler, hvad han har gjort, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog?
26 And they buried him in his sepulchre in the garden of Vzza: and Iosiah his sonne reigned in his steade.
Og man begrov ham i hans Grav, udi Ussas Have, og Josias, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.
