2 Kings 17
1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, began Hosea son of Elah to reign in Samaria, over Israel, [and he reigned] nine years.
Idet tolvte Akas's, Judas Konges, Aar blev Hosea, Elas Søn, Konge i Samaria over Israel i ni Aar.
2 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —only, not like 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 rendered him a present.
Salmanasser, Kongen af Assyrien, drog op imod ham; og Hosea blev hans Tjener og gav ham Skænk.
4 Then found the king of Assyria, in Hosea, a conspiracy, in that he had sent messengers unto So king of Egypt, and had not brought up a present 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 And the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, —yea he came 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, did the king of Assyria capture Samaria, and carried Israel away captive to Assyria, —and settled them in Halah, and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and the mountains of Media.
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 And thus it came to pass that Israel sinned against Yahweh their God, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, —yea they did reverence to 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 Yahweh had dispossessed from before the sons of Israel, —and [in the statutes] of the kings of Israel, which they had 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 And the sons of Israel did, secretly, things which were not right, against Yahweh their God, —and built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the watchmen’s tower, 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 up for themselves pillars and Sacred Stems, upon 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 burned incense there, in all the high places, like the nations whom Yahweh drave out from before them, —and did things that were wicked, so as to provoke Yahweh 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 the manufactured gods, as to which Yahweh had said to them, Ye 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 And Yahweh testified against Israel and against Judah, through all his prophets—every one who had a vision, saying—Turn ye from your wicked ways, and keep my commandments, my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers; and which I sent unto you through 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 Howbeit they hearkened not, —but stiffened their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who trusted not in Yahweh 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 but rejected his statutes, and his covenant, which he solemnised with their fathers, and his testimonies wherewith he testified against them, —and followed vanity, and became vain, and followed the nations that were round about them, as to whom Yahweh charged them, so 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 But they forsook all the commandments of Yahweh their God, and made for themselves something molten—two calves, and made a Sacred Stem, and bowed themselves down to all the army of the heavens, 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 and made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire, and used divinations and enchantments, and sold themselves to do the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, provoking him to wrath.
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 So Yahweh shewed himself exceeding angry with Israel, and removed them from his presence, —there was none left, save the tribe of Judah, alone.
derfor blev Herren saare vred paa Israel og bortdrev dem fra sit Ansigt; der blev ingen tilovers uden Judas Stamme alene.
19 Even Judah, kept not the commandments of Yahweh their God, —but walked in the statutes of Israel, which they had made.
Heller ikke Juda holdt Herrens, deres Guds, Bud; men de vandrede efter Israels Skikke, som de havde indført.
20 So Yahweh rejected all the seed of Israel, and humiliated them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, —until he had cast them out from his presence;
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 rent Israel away from the house of David, and they made Jeroboam son of Nebat, king, —and Jeroboam thrust away Israel from following Yahweh, and caused them to commit 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 And the sons of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he had committed, —they turned not away therefrom;
Og Israels Børn vandrede i alle Jeroboams Synder, som han gjorde; de vege ikke derfra,
23 until that Yahweh removed Israel from his presence, according as he spake through all his servants the prophets, —and so Israel was driven away from off their own soil, to Assyria, until 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 And the king of Assyria brought [men] from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avvah, and from Hamath, and [from] Sepharvaim, and caused them to dwell in the cities of Samaria, instead of the sons of Israel, —so they took possession of Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
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 And so it was, that, when they first dwelt there, they revered not Yahweh, —therefore Yahweh sent among them, lions, which were slaying 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 spake they unto the king of Assyria, saying, The nations whom thou hast removed and settled in the cities of Samaria, know not the custom of the God of the land, —and he hath sent among them lions, and lo! they are slaying them, because they know not the custom 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 So the king of Assyria commanded, saying—Carry thither, one of the priests, whom ye brought away captive from thence, that they may go, and dwell there, —and teach them the custom 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 Then came one of the priests whom they had carried away captive from Samaria, and dwelt in Bethel, —and he began teaching them how they should do reverence unto Yahweh.
Saa kom en af Præsterne, som de havde bortført fra Samaria, og boede i Bethel og lærte dem, hvorledes de skulde frygte Herren.
29 Howbeit the nations severally were making their own gods, —and did put them in the houses of the high places, which, the Samaritans, had made, each several nation, in their cities wherein, they, were dwelling.
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 So then, 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, did consume their sons in the fire, to Adrammelech and Anammelech 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 Thus became they reverers of Yahweh, —and yet made for themselves, from the whole compass of them, priests of high places, who became offerers for them in the house 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 Yahweh, were they revering, —and yet, their own gods, were they serving, according to the custom of the nations from whence they had brought them away captive.
De frygtede Herren, og de tjente deres Guder efter de Hedningers Vis, som de vare bortførte fra.
34 Unto this day, are they offering according to the former customs, —they are not revering Yahweh, neither are they offering after their own statutes, or their own custom, nor yet after the law and the commandment which Yahweh commanded the sons of Jacob, whose name he made to be 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, Yahweh solemnised a covenant, and commanded them saying—Ye shall not revere other gods, —nor bow down 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, Yahweh—who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, with great might, and with arm outstretched, him, shall ye revere, —and to him, shall ye bow down, and to him, shall ye sacrifice;
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 And, the statutes and the regulations, and the law and the commandment, which he wrote for you, shall ye surely observe to do, continually, —So shall ye not revere 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 But, the covenant which I have solemnised with you, shall ye not forget, —So shall ye not revere other gods;
Og I skulle ikke forglemme den Pagt, som jeg gjorde med eder, og ikke frygte andre Guder.
39 But, Yahweh your God, shall ye revere, —then will, he, 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 Howbeit they hearkened not, —but, according to their own former custom, were they offering.
Dog, de hørte ikke; men de gjorde efter deres første Vis.
41 Thus were these nations doing reverence unto Yahweh, and yet, unto their own carved images, were they rendering service, —yea, their sons and their son’s sons, as the fathers offered, so are, they, offering until 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.
