2 Chronicles 28
1 Twenty years old, was Ahaz when he began to reign, and, sixteen years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —but he did not that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, 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 walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, —yea, even molten images, made he to the Baalim;
men vandrede i Israels Kongers Spor Ja, han lod lave støbte Billeder til Ba'alerne;
3 and, he, burned incense, in the valley of the son of Hinnom, -and burnt his sons, in the fire, according to the abominable ways of the nations, whom Yahweh dispossessed from before the sons 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 And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and upon the hills, —and under every green tree.
Han ofrede og tændte Offerild paa Offerhøjene og de høje Steder og under alle grønne Træer.
5 Wherefore Yahweh his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria, who smote him, and carried away captive from him a large body of captives, and brought them into Damascus, —yea, even into the hand of the king of Israel, was he delivered, who smote him with a great smiting.
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 And Pekah son of Remaliah slew, in Judah, a hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all, sons of valour, -because they had forsaken Yahweh, 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 And Zichri a hero of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah son of the king, and Azrikam, chief ruler of the house, —and Elkanah, that was next unto the king.
Den efraimitiske Helt Zikri dræbte Kongesønnen Ma'aseja, Paladsøversten Azrikam og Elkana, den ypperste næst Kongen.
8 And the sons of Israel, carried away captive, from among their brethren two hundred thousand, wives, sons and daughters, moreover also, of much spoil, did they plunder 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, in that place, was a prophet unto Yahweh, Oded his name, so he went out to meet the host that was coming unto Samaria, and said unto them, Lo! in the wrath of Yahweh, God of your fathers, against Judah, hath he delivered them into your hand, —and ye have slain them in a rage, until, to the heavens, it hath reached.
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, therefore, ye, are thinking to tread down, the children of Judah and Jerusalem, as servants and as handmaids for yourselves. But is it not so—that, ye yourselves, are altogether guilty against Yahweh 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, therefore, hearken unto me, and restore the captives whom ye have taken captive from among your brethren, —for, the glow of the anger of Yahweh, is over 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 rose up certain of the chiefs of the sons of Ephraim—Azariah son of Jehohanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai, —against them who were coming in from the army;
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 unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither, for, with guilt against Yahweh already upon us, ye, are thinking to add unto our sins, and unto our guilt, —for great is the guilt we have, and fierce is the anger over 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 tile plunder, before the rulers, and all the convocation.
Da gav de væbnede Slip paa Fangerne og Byttet i Øversternes og hele Forsamlingens Paasyn;
15 Then rose up the men who have been expressed by name—and took the captives, and, all who were naked among them, clothed they out of the spoil, and arrayed them and sandalled them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and conducted them with asses for every one that was exhausted, and brought them to Jericho the city of palm-trees, near unto their brethren, —and then 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, sent King Ahaz unto the kings of Assyria to help him.
Paa den Tid sendte Kong Akaz Assyrerkongen Bud om Hjælp.
17 For again had, the Edomites, come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives;
Tilmed trængte Edomiterne ind og slog Judæerne og slæbte Krigsfanger bort.
18 and, the Philistines, had spread themselves out against the cities of the lowland and of the south, pertaining to Judah, and had captured Beth-shemesh and Aijalon and Gederoth, and Soco with its villages, and Timnah with its villages, and Gimzo, with its villages, —and dwelt 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 Yahweh had brought Judah low, because of Ahaz king of Israel, —for he had given the rein in Judah, and, been grievously unfaithful, with Yahweh.
Thi HERREN ydmygede Juda for Kong Akaz af Judas Skyld, fordi han havde ladet Tøjlesløshed opkomme i Juda og været troløs mod HERREN.
20 And Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria, came against him, —and distressed him, but strengthened him not.
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 Yahweh, and out of the house of the king, and the rulers, —and gave unto the king of Assyria, but he helped him not.
thi Akaz plyndrede HERRENS Hus, og Kongens Palads og Øversternes Palads og gav det til Assyrerkongen, men det hjalp ham intet.
22 And, in the time of his distress, he yet further acted unfaithfully with Yahweh, —he, King Ahaz!
Og selv da Assyrerkongen bragte ham i Nød, var Kong Akaz paa ny troløs mod HERREN;
23 For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus who had smitten him, and said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria are helping them, unto them, will I sacrifice, that they may help me. But, they, served to seduce him and 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 And Ahaz gathered together the utensils of the house of God, and brake away the fittings of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of Yahweh, —and made for himself altars at every corner in 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 and, in every several city of Judah, made he high places, for burning incense unto other gods, —and provoked Yahweh, 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 But, the rest of his story, and all his ways, first and last, there they are, written 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 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem, but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel, —and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
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.
