2 Kings 14

1 In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel, began Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah to reign.

I Joahaz's Søns, Kong Joas af Israel, andet Regeringsaar blev Amazja, Joas's Søn, Konge over Juda.

2 Twenty-five years old, was he when he began to reign, and twenty-nine years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.

Han var fem og tyve Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede ni og tyve Aar i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Jehoaddan og var fra Jerusalem.

3 And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, only, not like David his father: according to all that Joash his father did, so he did;

Han gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENS Øjne, om end ikke som hans Fader David; han handlede ganske som sin Fader Joas.

4 only, the high places, took they not away, —still were the people sacrificing and burning incense in the high places.

Kun forsvandt Offerhøjene ikke, men Folket blev ved med at ofre og tænde Offerild paa Højene.

5 And it came to pass that, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, he smote his servants who smote the king his father;

Da han havde sikret sig Magten, lod han dem af sine Folk dræbe, der havde dræbt hans Fader Kongen;

6 but, the sons of them that smote him, slew he not, —as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, which Yahweh commanded, saying—Fathers, shall not be put to death, for sons, nor shall, sons, be put to death, for fathers, but every man, for his own sin, shall be put to death.

men Mordernes Børn lod han ikke ihjelslaa, i Henhold til hvad der staar skrevet i Moses's Lovbog, hvor HERREN byder: »Fædre skal ikke lide Døden for Børns Skyld, og Børn skal ikke lide Døden for Fædres Skyld. Men enhver skal lide Døden for sin egen Synd.«

7 He, smote Edom, in the valley of salt, ten thousand, and seized Sela, in the war, —and called the name thereof Joktheel, [as it is] until this day.

Det var ham, der slog Edom i Saltdalen, 10 000 Mand, og indtog Sela, og han kaldte det Jokte'el, som det hedder den Dag i Dag.

8 Then, sent Amaziah messengers unto Jehoash son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, —Come now, let us look one another in the face.

Ved den Tid sendte Amazja Sendebud til Jebus Søn Joahaz's Søn, Kong Joas af Israel, og lod sige: »Kom, lad os se hinanden under Øjne!«

9 And Jehoash king of Israel sent unto Amaziah king of Judah, saying, A thistle that was in Lebanon, sent unto a cedar that was in Lebanon, saying—Give thy daughter to my son to wife, —and there passed by a beast of the field that was in Lebanon, and trampled down the thistle:

Men Kong Joas af Israel sendte Kong Amazja af Juda det Svar: »Tidselen paa Libanon sendte engang det Bud til Cederen paa Libanon: Giv min Søn din Datter til Ægte! Men Libanons vilde Dyr løb hen over Tidselen og trampede den ned.

10 Thou hast, smitten, Edom, and, thy heart, would lift thee up, —Glory, and stay at home! Wherefore, then, shouldest thou contend with misfortune, and fall, thou, and Judah with thee?

Du har slaaet Edom, og det har gjort dig overmodig; lad dig nu nøje med den Ære og bliv, hvor du er! Hvorfor vil du udfordre Ulykken og udsætte baade dig selv og Juda for Fald?«

11 But Amaziah hearkened not. So then Jehoash king of Israel came up, and they looked one another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, —in Beth-shemesh, which belongeth unto Judah.

Men Amazja vilde intet høre. Saa drog Kong Joas af Israel ud, og han og Kong Amazja af Juda saa hinanden under Øjne ved Bet-Sjemesj i Juda;

12 Then was Judah defeated before Israel, —and they fled, every man to his own home;

Juda blev slaaet af Israel, og de flygtede hver til sit.

13 and, upon Amaziah, king of Judah, son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, did Jehoash king of Israel, seize, in Beth-shemesh, —and entered Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, at the gate of Ephraim, as far as the corner gate, four hundred cubits;

Men Kong Joas af Israel tog Ahazjas Søn Joas's Søn. Kong Amazja af Juda, til Fange ved Bet-Sjemesj og førte ham til Jerusalem. Derpaa nedrev han Jerusalems Mur paa en Strækning af 400 Alen, fra Efraimsporten til Hjørneporten;

14 and took all the gold and the silver and all the vessels that were found in the house of Yahweh, and in the treasuries of the house of the king, and hostages, —and returned to Samaria.

og han tog alt det Guld og Sølv og alle de Kar, der fandtes i HERRENS Hus og i Skatkammeret i Kongens Palads; desuden tog han Gidsler og vendte saa tilbage til Samaria.

15 Now, the rest of the story of Jehoash, what he did, and his might and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Joas, alt, hvad han udførte, og alle hans Heltegerninger, og hvorledes han førte Krig med Kong Amazja af Juda, staar jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.

16 And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria, with the kings of Israel, —and, Jeroboam his son, reigned, in his stead.

Saa lagde Joas sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i Samaria hos Israels Konger; og hans Søn Jeroboam blev Konge i hans Sted.

17 And Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah, lived, after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel, fifteen years.

Joas's Søn, Kong Amazja af Juda, levede endnu femten Aar, efter at Joahaz's Søn, Kong Joas af Israel, var død.

18 Now, the rest of the story of Amaziah, is, it, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Amazja, staar jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.

19 And, when they made against him a conspiracy in Jerusalem, he fled to Lachish, —but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him, there.

Da der stiftedes en Sammensværgelse mod ham i Jerusalem, flygtede han til Lakisj; men der blev sendt Folk efter ham til Lakisj, og de dræbte ham der.

20 And they bare him on horses, —and he was buried in Jerusalem, with his fathers, in the city of David.

Saa løftede man ham op paa Heste, og han blev jordet i Jerusalem hos sine Fædre i Davidsbyen.

21 And all the people of Judah took Azariah, he, being sixteen yearn old, —and made, him, king instead of his father Amaziah.

Hele Folket i Juda tog saa Azarja, der dengang var seksten Aar gammel, og gjorde ham til Konge i hans Fader Amazjas Sted.

22 He, built Elath, and restored it to Judah, —after the king slept with his fathers.

Det var ham, der befæstede Elat og atter forenede det med Juda, efter at Kongen havde lagt sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre.

23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, began Jeroboam, son of Joash, king of Israel, to reign in Samaria, [and he reigned] forty-one years.

I Joas's Søns, Kong Amazja af Judas, femtende Regeringsaar ble Jeroboam, Joas's Søn, Konge over Israel, og han herskede een og fyrretyve Aar i Samaria.

24 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —he turned not away from any of the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he caused, Israel, to commit.

Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, og veg ikke fra nogen af de Synder, Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, havde forledt Israel til.

25 He, restored the boundary of Israel, from the entering in of Hamath, unto the sea of the waste plain, —according to the word of Yahweh, God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah, son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath-hepher.

Han tog Israels Landomraade tilbage fra Egnen hen imod Hamat og til Arabasøen, efter det Ord, HERREN, Israels Gud, havde talet ved sin Tjener, Profeten Jonas, Amittajs Søn, fra Gat-Hefer.

26 For Yahweh saw the humiliation of Israel, that it was bitter, indeed, —and that there was no one shut up, nor any one left at large, no one indeed to help Israel.

Thi HERREN havde set Israels bitre Kvide, hvorledes de reves bort alle som een, fordi Israel ikke havde nogen Hjælper;

27 Neither had Yahweh spoken, to wipe out the name of Israel from under the heavens, —so he saved them, by the hand of Jeroboam son of Joash.

og HERREN havde ikke talet om, at han vilde udslette Israels Navn under Himmelen, derfor frelste han dem ved Jeroboam, Joas's Søn.

28 Now, the rest of the story of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might when he warred, and how he restored Damascus and Hamath to Judah in Israel, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jeroboam, alt, hvad han udførte, og hans Heltegerninger, hvorledes han førte Krig, og hvorledes han tog Damaskus og Hamat tilbage til Israel, staar jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.

29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, with the kings of Israel, —and, Zechariah his son, reigned, in his stead.

Saa lagde Jeroboam sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i Samaria hos Israels Konger; og hans Søn Zekarja blev Konge i hans Sted.
