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 the LORD, like David his father:
Akas var tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede seksten Aar i Jerusalem og gjorde ikke det, som var ret for Herrens Øjne som David hans Fader.
2 For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim.
Men han vandrede i Israels Kongers Veje, tilmed gjorde han støbte Billeder for Baalerne.
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 the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.
Og han gjorde Røgelse i Hinnoms Søns Dal og brændte sine Sønner i Ilden efter de Hedningers Vederstyggeligheder, hvilke Herren havde fordrevet fra Israels Børns Ansigt.
4 He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
Tilmed ofrede han og gjorde Røgoffer paa de høje Steder og paa Højene og under alle grønne Træer.
5 Wherefore the LORD 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 Kongen af Syriens Haand, saa at de sloge ham og bortførte en stor Hob af hans Folk som Fanger og bragte dem til Damaskus; og han blev ogsaa given i Kongen af Israels Haand, og denne slog ham med et stort Slag.
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 the LORD God of their fathers.
Thi Peka, Remaljas Søn, ihjelslog i Juda hundrede og tyve Tusinde paa een Dag, alle vaabendygtige Folk, fordi de forlode 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.
Og Sikri, en vældig Mand af Efraim, ihjelslog Maeseja, Kongens Søn, og Asrikam, Forstanderen for Huset, og Elkana, den anden efter 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.
Og Israels Børn førte af deres Brødre to Hundrede Tusinde, Kvinder, Sønner og Døtre bort som Fanger og røvede tilmed meget Bytte fra dem, og de førte Byttet til Samaria.
9 But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name [was] Oded: and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because the LORD 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.
Og her var der en Herrens Profet, hvis Navn var Oded, og han gik ud imod den Hær, som kom til Samaria, og sagde til dem: Se, efterdi Herrens, eders Fædres Guds, Fortørnelse var over Juda, gav han dem i eders Haand; men I have hugget ned iblandt dem i Vrede; den er naaet indtil 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 the LORD your God?
Og nu sige I, at I ville Undertvinge Judas Børn og Jerusalem til at være eders Trælle og Trælkvinder; have ikke I, netop I, Skyld 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 the LORD [is] upon you.
Saa hører mig nu og sender de fangne tilbage, som I have bortført fra eders Brødre; thi Herrens strenge 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 stode nogle Mænd af de Øverste iblandt Efraims Børn, nemlig Asaria, Johanans Søn, Berekia, Mesillemoths Søn, og Jehiskias, Sallums Søn, og Amasa, Hadlajs Søn, op imod dem, som kom fra Hæren.
13 And said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither: for whereas we have offended against the LORD [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 de sagde til dem: I skulle ikke føre de fangne herind; thi til Skyld over os for Herren tænke I at forøge vore Synder og vor Skyld; thi vi have megen Skyld paa os, og der er streng Vrede over Israel.
14 So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation.
Da gave de bevæbnede Slip paa Fangerne og paa Byttet for deres Øversters og den ganske Forsamlings Ansigt.
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 asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brethren: then they returned to Samaria.
Da stode de Mænd, som ere nævnede ved Navn, op og toge de fangne, og alle nøgne iblandt dem klædte de af Byttet, ja, de klædte dem og gave dem Sko paa og gave dem at æde og gave dem at drikke og salvede dem, og alle skrøbelige førte de paa Asenerne, og de bragte dem til Jeriko, til Palmestaden til deres Brødre, og de vendte tilbage til Samaria.
16 At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him.
Paa den samme Tid sendte Kong Akas til Kongerne af Assyrien, at de skulde hjælpe ham.
17 For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives.
Fremdeles vare og Edomiterne komne og havde slaget Juda og ført nogle fangne 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.
Tilmed vare Filisterne faldne ind i Stæderne i Lavlandet og imod Sønden i Juda og havde indtaget Beth-Semes og Ajalon og Gederoth og Soko og dens tilliggende Byer og Thimna og dens tilliggende Byer og Gimso og dens tilliggende Byer, og de boede der.
19 For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the LORD.
Thi Herren havde ydmyget Juda for Akas's, Israels Konges, Skyld, fordi han havde bragt Tøjlesløshed) i Juda og forgrebet sig saare imod Herren.
20 And Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not.
Og Tilgath-Pilneser, Kongen af Assyrien, kom til ham, og han ængstede ham, men styrkede ham ikke.
21 For Ahaz took away a portion [out] of the house of the LORD, 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 Akas tog en Del fra Herrens Hus og fra Kongens Hus og fra Fyrsternes, og han gav Kongen af Assyrien det, men det hjalp ham intet.
22 And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the LORD: this [is that] king Ahaz.
Ja, paa den Tid denne ængstede ham, da blev han ved at forgribe sig imod Herren; saadan var Kong Akas.
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.
Thi han ofrede til Damaskus's Guder, som havde slaget ham, og sagde: Efterdi Syriens Kongers Guder have hjulpet dem, da vil jeg ofre til dem, at de og maa hjælpe mig; men de vare ham og al 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 the LORD, and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
Og Akas samlede Guds Hus's Kar og sønderbrød Guds Hus's Kar og lukkede Dørene paa Herrens Hus og gjorde sig Altre i hvert Hjørne af Jerusalem.
25 And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD God of his fathers.
Og i alle Stæder i Juda gjorde han Høje til at gøre Røgelse for andre Guder, og han opirrede 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.
Men det øvrige af hans Handeler og alle hans Veje, de første og de sidste, se, de Ting ere skrevne i Judas og Israels Kongers Bog.
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.
Og Akas laa med sine Fædre, og de begrove ham i Staden Jerusalem, men de bragte ham ikke ind i Israels Kongers Grave; og hans Søn Ezekias blev Konge i hans Sted.
