2 Chronicles 16
1 In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
I Asas Regerings seks og tredivte Aar drog Baesa, Israels Konge, op imod Juda og byggede Rama for ikke at tilstede Asa, Judas Konge, at nogen drog ud eller kom ind.
2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to Ben Hadad king of Aram, who lived at Damascus, saying,
Men Asa tog Sølv og Guld af Herrens Hus's og Kongens Hus's Liggendefæ og sendte til Benhadad, Kongen af Syrien, som boede i Damaskus, og lod sige:
3 "Let there be a treaty between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Look, I have sent you silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me."
Der er en Pagt imellem mig og imellem dig og imellem min Fader og imellem din Fader; se, jeg sender dig Sølv og Guld, drag hen, gør til intet din Pagt med Baesa, Israels Konge, at han maa drage op fra mig.
4 Ben Hadad listened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali.
Og Benhadad adlød Kong Asa og sendte de Hærførere, som han havde, imod Israels Stæder, og de slog Ijon og Dan og Abel-Maim og alle Nafthalis Forraadsstæder.
5 It happened, when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease.
Og det skete, der Baesa hørte (Jet, da lod han af med at bygge Rama og lod sit Arbejde høre op.
6 Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.
Da tog Kong Asa hele Juda med sig, og de toge Stenene bort fra Rama tillige med Tømmeret der, som Baesa havde bygget med, og han byggede dermed Geba og Mizpa.
7 At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, "Because you have relied on the king of Aram, and have not relied on the LORD your God, therefore is the army of the king of Aram escaped out of your hand.
Og paa den samme Tid kom Hanani, Seeren, til Asa, Judas Konge, og sagde til ham: Fordi du forlod dig fast paa Kongen af Syrien og forlod dig ikke fast paa Herren din Gud, derfor er Kongen af Syriens Hær undsluppen fra din Haand.
8 Weren't the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge army, with chariots and horsemen exceeding many? Yet, because you relied on the LORD, he delivered them into your hand.
Vare ikke Morianerne og Libyerne en stor Hær med saare mange Vogne og Ryttere? dog, der du forlod dig fast paa Herren, gav han dem i din Haand.
9 For the eyes of the LORD run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein you have done foolishly; for from now on you shall have wars."
Thi Herrens Øjne skue omkring paa al Jorden, og han viser sig stærk i at hjælpe dem, hvis Hjerte er helt med ham; du handlede daarligt i denne Sag; thi fra nu af skal der være Krig imod dig.
10 Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in the prison; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.
Men Asa blev fortørnet paa Seeren og satte ham i Fængsels Hus, thi han blev vred paa ham for dette; og Asa fortrykte nogle af Folket paa den samme Tid.
11 Look, the acts of Asa, first and last, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Og se, Asas Handeler, de første og de sidste, se, de ere skrevne i Judas og Israels Kongers Bog.
12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet; his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he did not seek the LORD, but to the physicians.
Og Asa blev syg i sine Fødder i sin Regerings ni og tredivte Aar, indtil hans Sygdom tog til over Maade; og selv i sin Sygdom søgte han ikke Herren, men Lægerne.
13 Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
Og Asa laa med sine Fædre og døde i sin Regerings et og fyrretyvende Aar.
14 They buried him in his own tomb that he had dug out in the City of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with spices and various kinds of sweet-scented herbs prepared by the perfumers' art, and they made a very great fire for him.
Og de begrove ham i hans Gravsted, som han havde ladet grave i Davids Stad, og de lagde ham paa et Leje, som man havde fyldt med alle Slags vellugtende Urter, sammensatte paa Kunstens Vis ved en Blanding, og de brændte saare meget ham til Ære.
