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;
Akaz var tyve Aar gammel da han blev Konge, og han herskede seksten Aar i Jerusalem. Han gjorde ikke, hvad der var ret i HERRENS Øjne, som hans Fader David,
2 but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for the Baals.
men vandrede i Israels Kongers Spor Ja, han lod lave støbte Billeder til Ba'alerne;
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.
han tændte selv Offerild i Hinnoms Søns Dal og lod sine Sønner gaa igennem Ilden efter de Folks vederstyggelige Skik, som HERREN havde drevet bort foran Israeliterne.
4 He sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
Han ofrede og tændte Offerild paa Offerhøjene og de høje Steder 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 Arams Konges Haand, og de slog ham og tog mange af hans Folk til Fange og førte dem til Darmaskus. Ligeledes blev han givet i Israels Konges Haand, og denne tilføjede ham et stort Nederlag.
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.
Peka, Remaljas Søn, dræbte i Juda 120 000 Mennesker paa een Dag, lutter dygtige Krigsfolk, fordi de havde forladt 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.
Den efraimitiske Helt Zikri dræbte Kongesønnen Ma'aseja, Paladsøversten Azrikam og Elkana, den ypperste næst 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.
Israeliterne bortførte fra deres Brødre 200 000 Hustruer, Sønner og Døtre som Fanger og fratog dem et stort Bytte, som de førte 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.
Her boede en HERRENS Profet ved Navn Oded; han gik Hæren i Møde, da den kom til Samaria, og sagde til dem: »Fordi HERREN, eders Fædres Gud, var vred paa Juda, gav han dem i eders Haand; men I har anrettet et Blodbad iblandt dem med et Raseri, der naar til 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 tænker I paa at faa Magten over Folkene fra Juda og Jerusalem og gøre dem til eders Trælle og Trælkvinder! Har I da ikke ogsaa selv nok paa Samvittigheden over 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."
Lyd derfor mig og send de Fanger tilbage, som I har gjort blandt eders Brødre, thi HERRENS glødende 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 traadte nogle af Efraimiternes Overhoveder, Azarja, Johanans Søn, Berekja, Mesjillemots Søn, Hizkija, Sjallums Søn, og Amasa, Hadlajs Søn, frem for de hjemvendte Krigere
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 sagde til dem: »I maa ikke bringe Fangerne herhen! Thi I har i Sinde at øge vore Synder og vor Skyld ud over den Skyld, vi har over for HERREN; thi stor er vor Skyld, og glødende Vrede er over Israel!«
14 So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the leaders and all the assembly.
Da gav de væbnede Slip paa Fangerne og Byttet i Øversternes og hele Forsamlingens Paasyn;
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.
og de ovenfor nævnte Mænd stod op og tog sig af Fangerne, gav alle de nøgne iblandt dem Klæder af Byttet, forsynede dem med Klæder og Sko, gav dem Mad og Drikke, salvede dem, lod dem, der ikke kunde gaa, ride paa Æsler og bragte dem til Jeriko, Palmestaden, hen i Nærheden af deres Brødre; derpaa vendte de tilbage til Samaria.
16 At that time king Ahaz sent to the king of Assyria to help him.
Paa den Tid sendte Kong Akaz Assyrerkongen Bud om Hjælp.
17 For again the Edomites had come and struck Judah, and carried away captives.
Tilmed trængte Edomiterne ind og slog Judæerne og slæbte Krigsfanger 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.
Og Filisterne faldt ind i Lavlandets Byer og den judæiske Del af Sydlandet og indtog Bet-Sjemesj, Ajjalon, Gederot, Soko med Smaabyer, Timna med Smaabyer og Gimzo med Smaabyer og bosatte sig 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 ydmygede Juda for Kong Akaz af Judas Skyld, fordi han havde ladet Tøjlesløshed opkomme i Juda og været troløs mod HERREN.
20 Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria came to him, and distressed him, but did not strengthen him.
Men Assyrerkongen Tillegat-Pilneser drog imod ham og bragte ham i Nød i Stedet for at hjælpe ham;
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 Akaz plyndrede HERRENS Hus, og Kongens Palads og Øversternes Palads og gav det til Assyrerkongen, men det hjalp ham intet.
22 In the time of his distress, he trespassed yet more against Jehovah, this same king Ahaz.
Og selv da Assyrerkongen bragte ham i Nød, var Kong Akaz paa ny troløs mod HERREN;
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.
han ofrede til Darmaskus's Guder, som havde slaaet ham, idet han sagde: »Aramæerkongernes Guder har jo hjulpet dem; til dem vil jeg ofre, at de ogsaa maa hjælpe mig!« Men de blev ham og hele 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.
Ogsaa samlede Akaz Karrene i Guds Hus og slog dem i Stykker; og han lukkede HERRENS Hus's Porte og lavede sig Altre ved hvert et Hjørne i 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 hver eneste By i Juda indrettede han Offerhøje for at tænde Offerild for fremmede Guder; saaledes krænkede han 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.
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om ham og hele hans Færd fra først til sidst, staar jo optegnet i Bogen om Judas og Israels Konger.
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.
Saa lagde Akaz sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og man jordede ham i Jerusalem, inde i Byen, thi man vilde ikke jorde ham i Israels Kongegrave; og hans Søn Ezekias blev Konge i hans Sted.
