2 Chronicles 28
1 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he did not do that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, 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 but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for the Baals.
Men han vandrede i Israels Kongers Veje, tilmed gjorde han støbte Billeder for Baalerne.
3 Moreover he burnt incense in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, and made his sons pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom Jehovah 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 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 Therefore Jehovah his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Aram; and they struck him, and carried away of his a great multitude of captives, and brought them to Damascus. He was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who struck 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 killed in Judah one hundred twenty thousand in one day, all of them valiant men; because they had forsaken Jehovah, the 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 Zikri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah who 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 The children of Israel carried away captive of their brothers 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 Jehovah was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria, and said to them, "Look, because Jehovah, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah, he has delivered them into your hand, and you have slain them in a rage which has reached up to 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 Now you purpose to keep under the people of Judah and Jerusalem for bondservants and bondmaids for yourselves. Aren't there even with you trespasses of your own against Jehovah 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 send back the captives, that you have taken captive from your brothers; for the fierce wrath of Jehovah is on 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 some of the heads of the people 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 those who 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 to them, "You shall not bring in the captives here: for you purpose that which will bring on us a trespass against Jehovah, to add 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 leaders and all the assembly.
Da gave de bevæbnede Slip paa Fangerne og paa Byttet for deres Øversters og den ganske Forsamlings Ansigt.
15 The men who have been mentioned by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all who were naked among them, dressed them, gave them sandals, and gave them something to eat and to drink, anointed them, carried all the feeble of them on donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brothers. 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 king Ahaz sent to the king 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 struck 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 lowland, and of the Negev of Judah, and had taken Beth Shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Soco with its towns, and Timnah with its towns, Gimzo also and its towns: and they lived 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 Jehovah brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he had dealt wantonly in Judah, and trespassed severely against Jehovah.
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 Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria came to him, and distressed him, but did not strengthen him.
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 Jehovah, and out of the house of the king and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria: but it did not help him.
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 In the time of his distress, he trespassed yet more against Jehovah, this same 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 to the gods of Damascus, which struck him; and he said, "Because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, so I will 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 Ahaz gathered together the vessels of God's house, and cut in pieces the vessels of God's house, and shut up the doors of the house of Jehovah; 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 In every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked to anger Jehovah, the 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 all his ways, first and last, look, 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 Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem; for they did not bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
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.
