2 Kings 17
1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah began to reign in Samaria over Israel for nine years.
Idet tolvte Akas's, Judas Konges, Aar blev Hosea, Elas Søn, Konge i Samaria over Israel i ni Aar.
2 He did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, yet not as the kings of Israel who were before him.
Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, dog ikke som Israels Konger, som vare før ham.
3 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and brought him tribute.
Salmanasser, Kongen af Assyrien, drog op imod ham; og Hosea blev hans Tjener og gav ham Skænk.
4 The king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.
Men Kongen af Assyrien saa et Forbund deri, at Hosea havde sendt Bud til So, Kongen af Ægypten, og ikke bragt Skat til Kongen af Assyrien Aar for Aar; da satte Kongen af Assyrien ham fast og lagde ham bunden i et Fængsel.
5 Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
Thi Kongen af Assyrien drog op i det ganske Land og drog op til Samaria og belejrede den i tre Aar.
6 In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away to Assyria, and placed them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
I Hoseas niende Aar indtog Kongen af Assyrien Samaria og førte Israel bort til Assyrien; og han lod dem bo i Hala og i Habor ved Floden Gosan og i Medernes Stæder.
7 It was so, because the children of Israel had sinned against YHWH their God, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,
Og det skete, fordi Israels Børn havde syndet imod Herren deres Gud, som havde ført dem op af Ægyptens Land, fra at være under Faraos, Kongen af Ægyptens, Magt, og fordi de frygtede andre Guder;
8 and walked in the statutes of the nations, whom YHWH cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they made.
og de vandrede i de Hedningers Skikke, hvilke Herren havde fordrevet for Israels Børns Ansigt, og i dem, som Israels Konger havde indført;
9 The children of Israel did secretly things that were not right against YHWH their God: and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city;
og Israels Børn skjulte Ting, som ikke var ret for Herren deres Gud og byggede sig Høje i alle Stæder, fra Vogternes Taarn indtil hver fast Stad;
10 and they set them up pillars and Asherim on every high hill, and under every green tree;
og de oprejste sig Støtter og Astartebilleder paa hver ophøjet Høj og under hvert grønt Træ;
11 and there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the nations whom YHWH carried away before them; and they worked wicked things to provoke YHWH to anger;
og de gjorde Røgelse der paa alle Højene ligesom Hedningerne, hvilke Herren havde bortført fra deres Ansigt, og de gjorde onde Ting til at opirre Herren;
12 and they served idols, of which YHWH had said to them, "You shall not do this thing."
og de tjente de stygge Afguder, om hvilke Herren havde sagt til dem: I skulle ikke gøre denne Ting;
13 Yet YHWH testified to Israel, and to Judah, by every prophet, and every seer, saying, "Turn from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets."
og Herren lod vidne i Israel og i Juda ved alle sine Profeter, alle Seere, sigende: Vender om fra eders onde Veje og holder mine Bud, mine Skikke, efter den hele Lov, som jeg bød eders Fædre, og efter det, som jeg sendte til eder om ved mine Tjenere, Profeterne;
14 Notwithstanding, they would not listen, but hardened their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who did not believe in YHWH their God.
men de havde ikke været lydige, men de forhærdede deres Nakke, ligesom deres Fædres Nakke, de, som ikke troede paa Herren deres Gud;
15 They rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified to them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and followed the nations that were around them, concerning whom YHWH had commanded them that they should not do like them.
tilmed forkastede de hans Skikke og hans Pagt, som han havde gjort med deres Fædre, og hans Vidnesbyrd, som han havde vidnet for dem, og de vandrede efter Forfængelighed og bleve forfængelige, og efter Hedningerne, der vare trindt omkring dem, om hvilke Herren havde budet dem, at de ikke skulde gøre som de;
16 They forsook all the commandments of YHWH their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.
ja de forlode alle Herren deres Guds Bud og gjorde sig støbte Billeder, to Kalve, og de gjorde Astartebilleder og tilbade al Himmelens Hær og tjente Baal;
17 They caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, practiced divination and sorcery, and sold themselves to do that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, to provoke him to anger.
og de lode deres Sønner og deres Døtre gaa igennem Ilden og omgikkes med Spaadom og agtede paa Fugleskrig og solgte sig til at gøre det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, for at opirre ham: —
18 Therefore YHWH was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.
derfor blev Herren saare vred paa Israel og bortdrev dem fra sit Ansigt; der blev ingen tilovers uden Judas Stamme alene.
19 Also Judah did not keep the commandments of YHWH their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.
Heller ikke Juda holdt Herrens, deres Guds, Bud; men de vandrede efter Israels Skikke, som de havde indført.
20 YHWH rejected all the descendants of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of plunderers, until he had cast them out of his sight.
Saa forkastede Herren al Israels Sæd og plagede dem og gav dem i Røveres Hænder, indtil han havde bortstødt dem fra sit Ansigt.
21 For he tore Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drove Israel from following YHWH, and made them sin a great sin.
Thi Israel havde revet sig løs fra Davids Hus, og de gjorde Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, til Konge; og Jeroboam drog Israel bort fra Herren og kom dem til at synde en stor Synd.
22 The children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they did not depart from them;
Og Israels Børn vandrede i alle Jeroboams Synder, som han gjorde; de vege ikke derfra,
23 until YHWH removed Israel out of his sight, as he spoke by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria to this day.
indtil Herren bortdrev Israel fra sit Ansigt, saaledes som han havde sagt ved alle sine Tjenere, Profeterne; saa blev Israel bortført fra sit Land til Assyrien indtil denne Dag.
24 The king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they possessed Samaria, and lived in the cities of it.
Og Kongen af Assyrien lod komme Folk af Babel og af Kut og af Ava og af Hamath og Sefarvajm og lod dem bo i Samarias Stæder, i Israels Børns Sted, og de indtoge Samaria til Ejendom og boede i dens Stæder.
25 So it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they did not fear YHWH: therefore YHWH sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
Og det skete, der de begyndte at bo der, at de ikke frygtede Herren; da sendte Herren Løver iblandt dem, og disse sønderreve nogle af dem.
26 Therefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, "The nations which you have carried away, and placed in the cities of Samaria, do not know the law of the god of the land. Therefore he has sent lions among them, and look, they kill them, because they do not know the law of the god of the land."
Derfor sagde de til Kongen af Assyrien: De Hedninger, som du lod forflytte og bo i Samarias Stæder, kende ikke, hvad der er ret imod Landets Gud; derfor sendte han Løver iblandt dem, og se, disse sønderreve dem, fordi de ikke kende, hvad der er ret imod Landets Gud.
27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, "Carry there one of the priests whom you brought from there; and let him go and live there, and let him teach them the law of the god of the land."
Da bød Kongen af Assyrien og sagde: Fører en af de Præster derhen, som I bortførte derfra, og lader ham drage hen og bo der, at han kan lære dem, hvad der er ret imod Landets Gud.
28 So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and lived in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear YHWH.
Saa kom en af Præsterne, som de havde bortført fra Samaria, og boede i Bethel og lærte dem, hvorledes de skulde frygte Herren.
29 However every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities in which they lived.
Men hvert Folk gjorde sig sin Gud, og de satte dem i Husene paa de Høje, som Samaritanerne gjorde, hvert Folk i sine Stæder, hvori de boede.
30 The men of Babylon made Succoth Benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
Thi de Mænd af Babel havde gjort Sukoth-Benoth, og de Mænd af Kut havde gjort Nergal, og de Mænd af Hamath havde gjort Asima,
31 and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
og de al Ava havde gjort Nibhas og Tharthak, og de af Sefarvajm opbrændte deres Sønner i Ilden for Adramelek og Anamelek, Sefarvajms Guder.
32 And they worshiped YHWH, yet they established their abominations in the houses of the high places which they made in Samaria, each nation in the city in which they dwelt. And they worshiped YHWH, yet appointed from among themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
De frygtede ogsaa Herren og gjorde sig i Flæng Præster paa Højene og gjorde Offer for dem i Husene paa Højene.
33 And they worshiped YHWH, yet served their own gods, after the ways of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.
De frygtede Herren, og de tjente deres Guder efter de Hedningers Vis, som de vare bortførte fra.
34 To this day they do what they did before: they do not fear YHWH, neither do they follow their statutes, or their ordinances, or the law or the commandment which YHWH commanded the descendants of Jacob, whom he named Israel;
De gøre efter den første Vis, indtil denne Dag; de frygte ikke Herren, ej heller gøre de efter deres Skikke og efter deres Befalinger og efter Loven og efter Budet, som Herren bød Jakobs Børn, hvis Navn han kaldte Israel;
35 with whom YHWH had made a covenant, and commanded them, saying, "You shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them;
og Herren gjorde en Pagt med dem og bød dem, sigende: I skulle ikke frygte andre Guder og ikke tilbede dem og ikke tjene dem og ikke ofre til dem.
36 but you shall fear YHWH, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, and you shall bow yourselves to him, and you shall sacrifice to him.
Men Herren, som førte eder op af Ægyptens Land med stor Kraft og med en udrakt Arm, ham skulle I frygte, og ham skulle I tilbede og ofre til.
37 The statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do forevermore. You shall not fear other gods.
Og I skulle holde de Skikke og Befalinger og Loven og Budet, som han lod skrive for eder, at gøre derefter alle Dage; men I skulle ikke frygte andre Guder.
38 You shall not forget the covenant that I have made with you; neither shall you fear other gods.
Og I skulle ikke forglemme den Pagt, som jeg gjorde med eder, og ikke frygte andre Guder.
39 But you shall fear YHWH your God; and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies."
Men I skulle frygte Herren eders Gud, og han skal fri eder fra alle eders Fjenders Haand.
40 However they did not listen, but they did what they did before.
Dog, de hørte ikke; men de gjorde efter deres første Vis.
41 So these nations feared YHWH, and served their engraved images. Their children likewise, and their children's children, as their fathers did, so they do to this day.
Saa frygtede disse Hedninger Herren og tjente deres Billeder; ogsaa deres Børn og deres Børnebørn, efter som deres Fædre gjorde, saa gøre de indtil denne Dag.
