Chronicles II 25
1 Amasias began to reign when he was twenty and five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name [was] Joadaen of Jerusalem.
Amazia var fem og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede ni og tyve Aar i Jerusalem, og hans Moders Navn var Joadan fra Jerusalem.
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, but not with a perfect heart.
Og han gjorde det, som var ret for Herrens Øjne, dog ikke af fuldt Hjerte.
3 And it came to pass, when the kingdom was established in his hand, that he killed his servants who had slain the king his father.
Og det skete, der Riget befæstedes under ham, da slog han sine Tjenere ihjel, som havde ihjelslaget Kongen, hans Fader.
4 But he killed not their sons, according to the covenant of the law of the Lord, as it is written, [and] as the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, and the sons shall not die for the fathers, but they shall die each for his own sin.
Men han dræbte ikke deres Børn; thi han gjorde, saaledes som er skrevet i Loven i Moses Bog, det, som Herren bød, sigende: Forældre skulle ikke dø for Børnene, og Børnene skulle ikke dø for Forældrene; men de skulle dø hver for sin Synds Skyld.
5 And Amasias assembled the house of Juda, and appointed them according to the houses of their families for captains of thousands and captains of hundreds in all Juda and Jerusalem: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upwards, and found them three hundred thousand able to go out to war, holding spear and shield.
Og Amazia samlede Juda og opstillede dem efter deres Fædres Hus, efter Øverster over tusinde og efter Øverster over hundrede, hele Juda og Benjamin; og han talte dem, fra tyve Aar gamle og derover, og fandt af dem tre Hundrede Tusinde udvalgte, som kunde drage ud i Strid, og som kunde føre Spyd og Skjold.
6 Also he hired of Israel a hundred thousand mighty [men for] a hundred talents of silver.
Tilmed lejede han af Israel hundrede Tusinde, vældige til Strid, for hundrede Centner Sølv.
7 And there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the host of Israel go with you; for the Lord is not with Israel, [even] all the sons of Ephraim.
Men der kom en Guds Mand til ham og sagde: O Konge! lad ikke Israels Hær drage med dig; thi Herren er ikke med Israel eller med nogen af Efraims Børn.
8 For if you shall undertake to strengthen [yourself] with these, then the lord shall put you to flight before the enemies: for it is of the Lord both to strengthen and to put to flight.
Men kom du alene, udfør det selv, styrk dig til Krigen: Gud skulde ellers lade dig falde for Fjendens Ansigt, thi der er Kraft i Gud til at hjælpe og til at lade falde.
9 And Amasias said to the man of God, But what shall I do [for] the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God said, The Lord can give you much more than these.
Og Amazia sagde til den Guds Mand: Hvad skal man da gøre med de hundrede Centner, som jeg har givet den Trop af Israel? Og den Guds Mand sagde: Herren har meget mere at give dig end dette.
10 And Amasias separated from the army that came to him from Ephraim, that they might go away to their place; and they were very angry with Juda, and they returned to their place with great wrath.
Da fraskilte Amazia den Trop, som var kommen til ham af Efraim, for at de kunde gaa til deres Hjem; men deres Vrede optændtes saare imod Juda, og de vendte tilbage til deres Hjem med fnysende Vrede.
11 And Amasias strengthened [himself], and took his people, and went to the valley of salt, and struck there the children of Seir ten thousand.
Og Amazia viste sig stærk og førte sit Folk ud og drog til Saltdalen og slog af Sejrs Børn ti Tusinde.
12 And the children of Juda took ten thousand prisoners, and they carried them to the top of the precipice, and cast them headlong from the top of the precipice, and they were all dashed to pieces.
Tilmed fangede Judas Børn ti Tusinde levende og førte dem op paa Klippens Top, og de kastede dem ned fra Klippens Top, saa de alle sammen bleve knuste.
13 And the men of the host whom Amasias sent back so that they should not go with him to battle, [went] and attacked the cities of Juda, from Samaria to Baethoron; and they struck three thousand among them, and took much spoil.
Men de Folk af den Trop, som Amazia lod vende tilbage, at de ikke skulde drage i Krig med ham, de faldt ind i Judas Stæder fra Samaria og indtil Beth-Horon, og de sloge af dem tre Tusinde og gjorde et stort Bytte.
14 And it came to pass, after Amasias had returned from striking Idumea, that he brought home the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up for himself as gods, and bowed down before them, and he sacrificed to them.
Thi det skete, der Amazia kom tilbage efter at have slaaet Edomiterne, at han førte Sejrs Børns Guder med sig og tog sig dem til Guder og tilbad for deres Ansigt og gjorde Røgelse for dem.
15 And the anger of the Lord came upon Amasias, and he sent him a prophet, and he said to him, Why have you sought the gods of the people, which have not rescued their own people out of your hand?
Da optændtes Herrens Vrede imod Amazia, og han sendte en Profet til ham, og han sagde til ham: Hvorfor søger du det Folks Guder, som ikke kunde redde deres Folk af din Haand?
16 And it came to pass when the prophet was speaking to him, that he said to him, have I made you king's counsellor? take heed lest you be scourged: and the prophet forebore, and said, I know that [God] is disposed against you to destroy you, because you have done this thing, and have not listened to my counsel.
Men det skete, der han talte til ham, da sagde han til ham: Mon vi have sat dig til Kongens Raadgiver? lad du af! hvorfor skulle de slaa dig ihjel? Da lod Profeten af og sagde: Jeg fornemmer, at Gud har besluttet at ødelægge dig, fordi du gjorde dette og ikke adlød mit Raad.
17 And Amasias king of Juda took counsel, and sent to Joas, son of Joachaz, son of Jeu, king of Israel, saying, Come, and let us look one another in the face.
Og Amazia, Judas Konge, holdt Raad og sendte Bud til Joas, en Søn af Joakas, der var en Søn af Jehu, Israels Konge, og lod sige: Kom og lader os se hinandens Ansigt!
18 And Joas king of Israel sent to Amasias king of Juda, saying, The thistle that was in Libanus sent to the cedar that was in Libanus, saying, Give your daughter to my son to wife; but, behold, your wild beasts of the field that are in Libanus shall come: and the wild beasts did come, and trod down the thistle.
Men Joas, Israels Konge, sendte til Amazia, Judas Konge, og lod sige: Tornebusken, som er paa Libanon, sendte til Cedertræet, som er paa Libanon, og lod sige: Giv min Søn din Datter til Hustru; men vilde Dyr paa Marken, som vare paa Libanon, gik over og nedtraadte Tornebusken.
19 You have said, Behold, I have struck Idumea, and your stout heart exalts you: now stay at home; for why do you implicate yourself in mischief, that you should fall, and Juda with you.
Du siger: Se, du har slaget Edomiterne, og dit Hjerte gør dig hovmodig, saa du vil æres; nu, bliv i dit Hus; hvi søger du Ulykke, at du skal falde, du og Juda med dig?
20 Nevertheless Amasias listened not, for it was of the Lord to deliver him into [the enemy's] hands, because he sought after the gods of the Idumeans.
Men Amazia adlød ikke; thi det var af Gud, for at give dem i Fjendehaand, fordi de havde søgt Edomiternes Guder.
21 So Joas king of Israel went up; and they saw one another, he and Amasias king of Juda, in Baethsamys, which is of Juda.
Saa drog Joas, Israels Konge, op, og de saa hinandens Ansigt, han og Amazia, Judas Konge, ved Beth-Semes, som hører til Juda.
22 And Juda was put to flight before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.
Men Juda blev slagen for Israels Ansigt, og de flyede hver til sine Telte.
23 And Joas king of Israel took prisoner Amasias king of Juda, [son] of Joas, son of Joachaz, in Baethsamys, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he pulled down [part] of the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
Og Joas, Israels Konge, fangede Amazia, Judas Konge, en Søn af Joas, der var en Søn af Joakas, ved Beth-Semes; og han førte ham til Jerusalem og nedrev Jerusalems Mur fra Efraims Port indtil Hjørneporten, et Stykke paa fire Hundrede Alen.
24 And [he took] all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the Lord and with Abdedom, and the treasures of the king's house, and the hostages, and he returned to Samaria.
Og han tog alt Guldet og Sølvet og alle Redskaber, som fandtes i Guds Hus, hos Obed-Edom, og Skattene i Kongens Hus og Gidslerne, og han vendte tilbage til Samaria.
25 And Amasias the [son] of Joas king of Juda lived after the death of Joas the [son] of Joachaz king of Israel fifteen years.
Og Amazia, Joas's Søn, Judas Konge, levede efter Joas's, Joakas's Søns, Israels Konges Død, femten Aar.
26 And the rest of the acts of Amasias, the first and the last, Behold! are they not written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel?
Men det øvrige af Amazias Handeler, de første og de sidste, se, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Judas og Israels Kongers Bog?
27 And at the time when Amasias departed from the Lord, then they formed a conspiracy against him; and he fled from Jerusalem to Lachis: and they sent after him to Lachis, and killed him there.
Og fra den Tid, der Amazia veg af fra Herren, da indgik de et Forbund imod ham i Jerusalem, og han flyede til Lakis; da sendte de efter ham til Lakis og dræbte ham der.
28 And they took him up on horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of David.
Og de førte ham paa Heste og begrove ham hos hans Fædre i Judas Stad.
