2 Kings 14
1 In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, has reigned;
I Joahaz's Søns, Kong Joas af Israel, andet Regeringsaar blev Amazja, Joas's Søn, Konge over Juda.
2 he was a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jehoaddan of Jerusalem,
Han var fem og tyve Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede ni og tyve Aar i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Jehoaddan og var fra Jerusalem.
3 and he does that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH, only not like his father David; he has done according to all that his father Joash did,
Han gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENS Øjne, om end ikke som hans Fader David; han handlede ganske som sin Fader Joas.
4 only, the high places have not been removed—the people are still sacrificing and making incense in high places.
Kun forsvandt Offerhøjene ikke, men Folket blev ved med at ofre og tænde Offerild paa Højene.
5 And it comes to pass, when the kingdom has been strong in his hand, that he strikes his servants, those striking his father the king,
Da han havde sikret sig Magten, lod han dem af sine Folk dræbe, der havde dræbt hans Fader Kongen;
6 and the sons of those striking [him] he has not put to death, as it is written in the Scroll of the Law of Moses that YHWH commanded, saying, “Fathers are not put to death for sons, and sons are not put to death for fathers, but each is put to death for his own sin.”
men Mordernes Børn lod han ikke ihjelslaa, i Henhold til hvad der staar skrevet i Moses's Lovbog, hvor HERREN byder: »Fædre skal ikke lide Døden for Børns Skyld, og Børn skal ikke lide Døden for Fædres Skyld. Men enhver skal lide Døden for sin egen Synd.«
7 He has struck ten thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt, and seized Selah in war, and [one] calls its name Joktheel to this day,
Det var ham, der slog Edom i Saltdalen, 10 000 Mand, og indtog Sela, og han kaldte det Jokte'el, som det hedder den Dag i Dag.
8 then Amaziah has sent messengers to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, we look one another in the face.”
Ved den Tid sendte Amazja Sendebud til Jebus Søn Joahaz's Søn, Kong Joas af Israel, og lod sige: »Kom, lad os se hinanden under Øjne!«
9 And Jehoash king of Israel sends to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thorn that [is] in Lebanon has sent to the cedar that [is] in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son for a wife; and a beast of the field that [is] in Lebanon passes by, and treads down the thorn.
Men Kong Joas af Israel sendte Kong Amazja af Juda det Svar: »Tidselen paa Libanon sendte engang det Bud til Cederen paa Libanon: Giv min Søn din Datter til Ægte! Men Libanons vilde Dyr løb hen over Tidselen og trampede den ned.
10 You have certainly struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up; be honored, and abide in your house; and why do you stir yourself up in evil, that you have fallen, you and Judah with you?”
Du har slaaet Edom, og det har gjort dig overmodig; lad dig nu nøje med den Ære og bliv, hvor du er! Hvorfor vil du udfordre Ulykken og udsætte baade dig selv og Juda for Fald?«
11 And Amaziah has not listened, and Jehoash king of Israel goes up, and they look one another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, in Beth-Shemesh, that [is] Judah’s,
Men Amazja vilde intet høre. Saa drog Kong Joas af Israel ud, og han og Kong Amazja af Juda saa hinanden under Øjne ved Bet-Sjemesj i Juda;
12 and Judah is struck before Israel, and they each flee to his tent.
Juda blev slaaet af Israel, og de flygtede hver til sit.
13 And Jehoash king of Israel caught Amaziah king of Judah, son of Jehoash, son of Ahaziah, in Beth-Shemesh, and they come to Jerusalem, and he bursts through the wall of Jerusalem, at the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits,
Men Kong Joas af Israel tog Ahazjas Søn Joas's Søn. Kong Amazja af Juda, til Fange ved Bet-Sjemesj og førte ham til Jerusalem. Derpaa nedrev han Jerusalems Mur paa en Strækning af 400 Alen, fra Efraimsporten til Hjørneporten;
14 and has taken all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that are found in the house of YHWH, and in the treasures of the house of the king, and the sons of the pledges, and turns back to Samaria.
og han tog alt det Guld og Sølv og alle de Kar, der fandtes i HERRENS Hus og i Skatkammeret i Kongens Palads; desuden tog han Gidsler og vendte saa tilbage til Samaria.
15 And the rest of the matters of Jehoash that he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Joas, alt, hvad han udførte, og alle hans Heltegerninger, og hvorledes han førte Krig med Kong Amazja af Juda, staar jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.
16 And Jehoash lies with his fathers, and is buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel, and his son Jeroboam reigns in his stead.
Saa lagde Joas sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i Samaria hos Israels Konger; og hans Søn Jeroboam blev Konge i hans Sted.
17 And Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, lives after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years,
Joas's Søn, Kong Amazja af Juda, levede endnu femten Aar, efter at Joahaz's Søn, Kong Joas af Israel, var død.
18 and the rest of the matters of Amaziah, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Amazja, staar jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.
19 And they make a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he flees to Lachish, and they send after him to Lachish, and put him to death there,
Da der stiftedes en Sammensværgelse mod ham i Jerusalem, flygtede han til Lakisj; men der blev sendt Folk efter ham til Lakisj, og de dræbte ham der.
20 and lift him up on the horses, and he is buried in Jerusalem with his fathers in the City of David.
Saa løftede man ham op paa Heste, og han blev jordet i Jerusalem hos sine Fædre i Davidsbyen.
21 And all the people of Judah take Azariah, and he [is] a son of sixteen years, and cause him to reign instead of his father Amaziah;
Hele Folket i Juda tog saa Azarja, der dengang var seksten Aar gammel, og gjorde ham til Konge i hans Fader Amazjas Sted.
22 he has built Elath, and brings it back to Judah, after the lying of the king with his fathers.
Det var ham, der befæstede Elat og atter forenede det med Juda, efter at Kongen havde lagt sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre.
23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, Jeroboam son of Joash, king of Israel, has reigned in Samaria, forty-one years,
I Joas's Søns, Kong Amazja af Judas, femtende Regeringsaar ble Jeroboam, Joas's Søn, Konge over Israel, og han herskede een og fyrretyve Aar i Samaria.
24 and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH; he has not turned aside from all the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that he caused Israel to sin.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, og veg ikke fra nogen af de Synder, Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, havde forledt Israel til.
25 He has brought back the border of Israel, from the entering in of Hamath to the sea of the desert, according to the word of YHWH, God of Israel, that He spoke by the hand of His servant Jonah son of Amittai the prophet, who [is] of Gath-Hepher,
Han tog Israels Landomraade tilbage fra Egnen hen imod Hamat og til Arabasøen, efter det Ord, HERREN, Israels Gud, havde talet ved sin Tjener, Profeten Jonas, Amittajs Søn, fra Gat-Hefer.
26 for YHWH has seen the very bitter affliction of Israel, and there is none restrained, and there is none left, and there is no helper for Israel;
Thi HERREN havde set Israels bitre Kvide, hvorledes de reves bort alle som een, fordi Israel ikke havde nogen Hjælper;
27 and YHWH has not spoken to blot out the name of Israel from under the heavens, and saves them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Joash.
og HERREN havde ikke talet om, at han vilde udslette Israels Navn under Himmelen, derfor frelste han dem ved Jeroboam, Joas's Søn.
28 And the rest of the matters of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought, and with which he brought back Damascus, and Hamath of Judah, into Israel, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jeroboam, alt, hvad han udførte, og hans Heltegerninger, hvorledes han førte Krig, og hvorledes han tog Damaskus og Hamat tilbage til Israel, staar jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.
29 And Jeroboam lies with his fathers, with the kings of Israel, and his son Zechariah reigns in his stead.
Saa lagde Jeroboam sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i Samaria hos Israels Konger; og hans Søn Zekarja blev Konge i hans Sted.
