2 Chronicles 35
1 And Josiah makes a Passover to YHWH in Jerusalem, and they slaughter the Passover-offering on the fourteenth of the first month,
Derpå fejrede Josias Påske for HERREN i Jerusalem, og de slagtede Påskelammet den fjortende Dag i den første Måned.
2 and he stations the priests over their charges, and strengthens them for the service of the house of YHWH,
Han satte Præsterne til det, de havde at varetage, og opmuntrede dem til Tjenesten i HERRENs Hus;
3 and says to the Levites who are teaching all Israel, who are sanctified to YHWH, “Put the holy Ark in the house that Solomon son of David, king of Israel, built; it is not a burden on the shoulder to you. Now serve your God YHWH and His people Israel,
og til Leviterne, som underviste hele Israel og var helliget HERREN, sagde han: "Sæt den hellige Ark i Templet, som Davids Søn, Kong Salomo af Israel, byggede; I skal ikke mere bære den på Skuldrene. Tjen nu HERREN eders Gud og hans Folk Israel!
4 and prepare, by the house of your fathers, according to your divisions, by the writing of David king of Israel, and by the writing of his son Solomon,
Gør eder rede Fædrenehus for Fædrenehus, Skifte for Skifte, efter Kong David af Israels Forskrift og hans Søn Salomos Anvisning,
5 and stand in the holy place, by the divisions of the house of the fathers of your brothers, sons of the people, and the portion of the house of a father of the Levites,
og stil eder op i Helligdommen, således at der bliver et Skifte af et levitisk Fædrenehus for hver Afdeling af eders Brødres, Almuens, Fædrenehuse,
6 and slaughter the Passover-offering and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brothers, to do according to the word of YHWH by the hand of Moses.”
og slagt så Påskeofferdyrene, helliger eder og tillav dem til eders Brødre for at handle efter HERRENs Ord ved Moses."
7 And Josiah lifts up to the sons of the people a flock of lambs and young goats, the whole for Passover-offerings, for everyone who is found, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand oxen: these [are] from the substance of the king.
Josias gav frivilligt Almuen, alle dem, der var til Stede, en Ydelse af Småkvæg, Lam og Gedekid, alt sammen til Påskeofferdyr, 30.000 Stykker i Tal, og 3.000 Stykker Hornkvæg, alt af Kongens Ejendom;
8 And his heads, for a willing-offering to the people, to the priests and to the Levites, have lifted up; Hilkiah, and Zechariah, and Jehiel, leaders in the house of God, have given two thousand and six hundred to the priests for Passover-offerings, and three hundred oxen;
og hans Øverster gav frivilligt Folket, Præslerne og Leviterne en Ydelse; Hilkija, Zekarja og Jehiel, Guds Hus's Øverster, gav Præsterne til Påskeofferdyr 2.600 Stykker Småkvæg og 300 Stykker Hornkvæg.
9 and Conaniah, and Shemaiah, and Nethaneel, his brothers, and Hashabiah, and Jeiel, and Jozabad, heads of the Levites, have lifted up five thousand to the Levites for Passover-offerings, and five hundred oxen.
Leviternes Øverster Konanja og hans Brød1e Sjemaja og Netan'el, Hasjabja, Je'iel og Jozabad ydede Leviterne til Påskeofferdyr 5.000 Stykker Småkvæg og 500 Stykker Hornkvæg.
10 And the service is prepared, and the priests stand on their station, and the Levites on their divisions, according to the command of the king,
Således ordnedes Tjenesten, og Præsterne stod på deres Plads, ligeledes Leviterne, Skifte for Skifte efter Kongens Bud.
11 and they slaughter the Passover-offering, and the priests sprinkle out of their hand, and the Levites are stripping [them];
De slagtede Påskedyrene, og Præsterne sprængte Blodet, som de rakte dem, medens Leviterne flåede Huden af.
12 and they turn aside the burnt-offering to put them by the divisions of the house of the fathers of the sons of the people, to bring near to YHWH, as it is written in the scroll of Moses—and so for the oxen.
Derpå gjorde de Brændofrene tede for at give dem til de enkelte Afdelinger af Almuens Fædrenehuse, så at de kunde frembæres for HERREN, som det er foreskrevet i Moses's Bog, og på samme Måde gjorde de med Hornkvæget.
13 And they cook the Passover with fire according to the ordinance, and they have cooked the sanctified things in pots, and in kettles, and in pans—for all the sons of the people.
Påskedyrene stegte de over Ilden på den foreskrevne Måde, men de hellige Stykker kogte de i Gryder, Kedler og Skåle og bragte dem skyndsomt til Almuen.
14 And afterward they have prepared for themselves and for the priests; for the priests, sons of Aaron, [are occupied] in the offering up of the burnt-offering and of the fat until night; and the Levites have prepared for themselves and for the priests, sons of Aaron.
Derefter gjorde de Påskedyr rede til sig selv og Præsterne, thi Præsterne, Arons Sønner, var sysselsatte med at ofre 81ændofrene og Fedtstykkerne lige til Nattens Frembrud; derfor gjorde Leviterne Ofre rede både for sig selv og Præsterne, Arons Sønner.
15 And the singers, sons of Asaph, [are] on their station according to the command of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun seer of the king, and the gatekeepers [are] at every gate; it is not for them to turn aside from off their service, for their brothers the Levites have prepared for them.
Sangerne, Asafs Sønner, var på deres Plads efterDavids, Asafs, Hemans og Kongens Seer Jedutuns Bud, og Dørvogterne ved de forskellige Porte; de måtte ikke forlade deres Plads, men deres Brødre Leviterne gjorde Påskedyr rede for dem.
16 And all the service of YHWH is prepared on that day to keep the Passover and to cause burnt-offering to ascend on the altar of YHWH, according to the command of King Josiah.
Således ordnedes hele HERRENs Tjeneste den Dag, idet man fejrede Påsken og bragte Brændofre på HERRENs Alter efter Kong Josias's Bud;
17 And the sons of Israel who are found make the Passover at that time, and the Celebration of Unleavened Things, [for] seven days.
og Israeliterne, som var til Stede, fejrede dengang Påsken og de usyrede Brøds Højtid i syv Dage.
18 And there has not been made a Passover like it in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet, and none of the kings of Israel made such a Passover as Josiah has made, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who are found, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
En Påske som den var ikke blevet fejret i Israel siden Profeten Samuels Dage, og ingen af Israels Konger havde fejret en Påske som den, Josias, Præsterne og Leviterne og alle de Judæere og Israeliter, som var til Stede, og Jerusalems Indbyggere fejrede.
19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah this Passover has been made.
I Josias's attende Regeringsår blev denne Påsk fejret.
20 After all this, when Josiah has prepared the house, Necho king of Egypt has come up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates, and Josiah goes forth to meet him;
Efter alt dette, da Josias havde sat Templet i Stand, drog Ægypterkongen Neko op til Kamp ved Karkemisj, der ligger ved Eufrat. Josias drog imod ham;
21 and he sends messengers to him, saying, “And what do I [have to do] with you, O king of Judah? I do not come against you today, but to the house with which I have war, and God commanded to hurry me; cease for yourself from God who [is] with me, and He does not destroy you.”
men han sendte Sendebud til ham og lod sige: "Hvad er der mig og dig imellem, Judas Konge? Det er ikke dig, det nu gælder, men det Kongehus, jeg ligget i Krig med; og Gud har sagt, at jeg skulde haste. Gå ikke imod den Gud, der er med mig, at han ikke skal ødelægge dig!"
22 And Josiah has not turned around his face from him, but has disguised himself to fight against him, and has not listened to the words of Necho, from the mouth of God, and comes to fight in the Valley of Megiddo;
Josias vendte dog ikke om, men vovede at indlade sig i Hamp med ham; han tog ikke Hensyn til Nekos Ord, der dog kom fra Guds Mund, men drog ud til Kamp på Megiddos Slette.
23 and the archers shoot at King Josiah, and the king says to his servants, “Remove me, for I have become very sick.”
Da ramte Bueskytterne Kong Josias; og Kongen sagde til sine Folk: "Før mig bort, thi jeg er hårdt såret!"
24 And his servants remove him from the chariot, and cause him to ride on the second chariot that he has, and cause him to go to Jerusalem, and he dies, and is buried in the graves of his fathers, and all Judah and Jerusalem are mourning for Josiah,
Hans Folk bragte ham da bort fra Vognen og satte ham på hans anden Vogn og førte ham til Jerusalem, hvor han døde. De jordede ham i hans Fædres Grave, og hele Juda og Jerusalem sørgede over Josias.
25 and Jeremiah laments for Josiah, and all the male and female singers speak in their lamentations of Josiah to this day, and set them for a statute on Israel, and behold, they are written beside the Lamentations.
Jeremias sang en Klagesang over Josias, og alle Sangerne og Sangerinderne talte i deres Klagesange om ham, som de gør den Dag i Dag; man gjorde dette til en stående Skik i Israel, og Sangene står optegnet blandt Klagesangene.
26 And the rest of the matters of Josiah and his kind acts, according as it is written in the Law of YHWH,
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Josias og hans fromme Gerninger, der sfemte med, hvad der er foreskrevet i HERRENs Lov,
27 even his matters, the first and the last, behold, they are written on the scroll of the kings of Israel and Judah.
hans Historie fra først til sidst står jo optegnet i Bogen om Israels og Judas Konger.
