2 Chronicles 28
1 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not that which was right in the sight of Yhwh, like David 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 For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim.
men vandrede i Israels Kongers Spor Ja, han lod lave støbte Billeder til Ba'alerne;
3 Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom Yhwh 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 high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
Han ofrede og tændte Offerild paa Offerhøjene og de høje Steder og under alle grønne Træer.
5 Wherefore Yhwh his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who 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 son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred and twenty thousand in one day, which were all valiant men; because they had forsaken Yhwh 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 king’s son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah that was next to the king.
Den efraimitiske Helt Zikri dræbte Kongesønnen Ma'aseja, Paladsøversten Azrikam og Elkana, den ypperste næst Kongen.
8 And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil 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 a prophet of Yhwh was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out before the army that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because Yhwh God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that reacheth up unto heaven.
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 now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you: but are there not with you, even with you, sins against Yhwh 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 Now hear me therefore, and deliver the captives again, which ye have taken captive of your brethren: for the fierce wrath of Yhwh is upon you.
Lyd derfor mig og send de Fanger tilbage, som I har gjort blandt eders Brødre, thi HERRENS glødende Vrede er over eder!«
12 Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against them that came from the war,
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 unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither: for whereas we have offended against Yhwh already, ye intend to add more to our sins and to our trespass: for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath 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 armed men left the captives and the spoil 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 which were expressed by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brethren: then 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 send unto the kings of Assyria to help him.
Paa den Tid sendte Kong Akaz Assyrerkongen Bud om Hjælp.
17 For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives.
Tilmed trængte Edomiterne ind og slog Judæerne og slæbte Krigsfanger bort.
18 The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and had taken Beth–shemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho with the villages thereof, and Timnah with the villages thereof, Gimzo also and the villages thereof: 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 Yhwh brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against Yhwh.
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–pilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not.
Men Assyrerkongen Tillegat-Pilneser drog imod ham og bragte ham i Nød i Stedet for at hjælpe ham;
21 For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of Yhwh, and out of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave it unto the king of Assyria: but he 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 the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against Yhwh: this is that king Ahaz.
Og selv da Assyrerkongen bragte ham i Nød, var Kong Akaz paa ny troløs mod HERREN;
23 For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him: and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, 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 together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of Yhwh, and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
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 every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger Yhwh 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 Now the rest of his acts and of all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah 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 city, even in Jerusalem: but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son 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.
