< 2 Chronicles 16 >
1 In year thirty and six of [the] reign of Asa he came up Baasha [the] king of Israel on Judah and he built Ramah to not [surely] permitting one going out or one coming in to Asa [the] king of Judah.
Men i Asas seks og tredivte Regeringsaar drog Kong Ba'sja af Israel op imod Juda og befæstede Rama for at hindre, at nogen af Kong Asa af Judas Folk drog ud og ind.
2 And he brought out Asa silver and gold from [the] treasuries of [the] house of Yahweh and [the] house of the king and he sent [it] to Ben Hadad [the] king of Aram who dwelt in Damascus saying.
Da tog Asa Sølv og Guld ud af Skatkamrene i HERRENS Hus og i Kongens Palads og sendte det til Kong Benhadad af Aram, som boede i Darmaskus, idet han lod sige:
3 A covenant [be] between me and between you and between father my and between father your here! I have sent to you silver and gold go break covenant your with Baasha [the] king of Israel so he may go up from on me.
»Der bestaar en Pagt mellem mig og dig og mellem min Fader og din Fader; her sender jeg dig en Gave af Sølv og Guld; bryd derfor din Pagt med Kong Ba'sja af Israel, saa at han nødes til at drage bort fra mig!«
4 And he listened Ben Hadad to the king Asa and he sent [the] commanders of the armies which [belonged] to him against [the] cities of Israel and they struck down Ijon and Dan and Abel Maim and all [the] stores of [the] cities of Naphtali.
Benhadad gik ind paa Kong Asas Forslag og sendte sine Hærførere mod Israels Byer og indtog Ijjon, Dan, Abel-Majim og Forraadshusene i Naftalis Byer.
5 And it was when heard Baasha and he ceased from building Ramah and he caused to cease work his.
Da Ba'sja hørte det, opgav han at befæste Rama og standsede Arbejdet.
6 And Asa the king he took all Judah and they carried off [the] stones of Ramah and wood its which he had built Baasha and he built with them Geba and Mizpah.
Men Kong Asa tog hele Juda til at føre Stenene og Træværket, som Ba'sja havde brugt ved Befæstningen af Rama, bort, og han befæstede dermed Geba og Mizpa.
7 And at the time that he came Hanani the seer to Asa [the] king of Judah and he said to him because depending you on [the] king of Aram and not you depended on Yahweh God your there-fore it has escaped [the] army of [the] king of Aram from hand your.
Paa den Tid kom Seeren Hanani til Kong Asa af Juda og sagde til ham: »Fordi du søgte Støtte hos Aramæerkongen og ikke hos HERREN din Gud, skal Aramæerkongens Hær slippe dig af Hænde!
8 ¿ Not the Cushites and the Libyans were they an army - for multitude chariotry and horsemen to abundance exceedingly and because depending you on Yahweh he gave them in hand your.
Var ikke Kusjiterne og Libyerne en vældig Hær med en vældig Mængde Vogne og Ryttere? Men da du søgte Støtte hos HERREN, gav han dem i din Haand!
9 For Yahweh eyes his [are] roving about in all the earth to show himself strong with [those who] heart their [is] complete to him you have acted foolishly on this for from now there with you [will be] wars.
Thi HERRENS Øjne skuer omkring paa hele Jorden, og han viser sig stærk til at hjælpe dem, hvis Hjerte er helt med ham. I denne Sag har du handlet som en Daare; thi fra nu af skal du altid ligge i Krig!«
10 And he was angry Asa against the seer and he put him [the] house of the stock[s] for in a rage with him on this and he crushed Asa some of the people at the time that.
Men Asa blev fortørnet paa Seeren og satte ham i Huset med Blokken, thi han var blevet vred paa ham derfor. Asa for ogsaa haardt frem mod nogle af Folket paa den Tid.
11 And there! [the] matters of Asa former and latter there they [are] written on [the] scroll of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Asas Historie fra først til sidst staar jo optegnet i Bogen om Judas og Israels Konger.
12 And he became sick Asa in year thirty and nine of reign his in feet his [was] to upwards sickness his and also in sickness his not he sought Yahweh for the physicians.
I sit ni og tredivte Regeringsaar fik Asa en Sygdom i Fødderne, og Sygdommen blev meget alvorlig. Heller ikke under sin Sygdom søgte han dog HERREN, men Lægerne.
13 And he lay down Asa with ancestors his and he died in year forty and one of reigning his.
Saa lagde Asa sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og døde i sit een og fyrretyvende Regeringsaar.
14 And people buried him in own grave his which he had dug for himself in [the] city of David and they made lie him in the lying place which he had filled spices and kinds mixed as ointment of work and they burned for him a burning great up to muchness.
Man jordede ham i en Grav, han havde ladet sig udhugge i Davidsbyen, og lagde ham paa et Leje, som man havde fyldt med vellugtende Urter og Stoffer, tillavet som Salve, og tændte et vældigt Baal til hans Ære.
