< 2 Chronicles 21 >
1 And he lay down Jehoshaphat with ancestors his and he was buried with ancestors his in [the] city of David and he became king Jehoram son his in place of him.
Så lagde Josafat sig nu til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet hos sine Fædre i Davidsbyen; og hans Søn Joram blev Konge i hans Sted.
2 And [belonged] to him brothers [the] sons of Jehoshaphat Azariah and Jehiel and Zechariah and Azariahu and Michael and Shephatiah all these [were] [the] sons of Jehoshaphat [the] king of Israel.
Han havde nogle Brødre, Sønner af Josafat: Azarja, Jehiel, Zekarja, Azarjahu, Mikael og Sjefatja, alle Sønner af Kong Josatat af Juda.
3 And he had given to them - father their gifts many to silver and to gold and to excellent things with cities of fortifications in Judah and the kingdom he gave to Jehoram for he [was] the firstborn.
Deres Fader havde givet dem store Gaver, Sølv, Guld og Kostbarheder tillige med betæstede Byer i Juda, men Joram havde han givet Kongedømmet, fordi han var den førstefødte.
4 And he arose Jehoram over [the] kingdom of father his and he strengthened himself and he killed all brothers his with the sword and also some of [the] leaders of Israel.
Men da Joram havde overtaget sin Faders Rige og styrket sin Magt, lod han alle sine Brødre dræbe med Sværd tillige med nogle af Israels Øverster.
5 [was] a son of Thirty and two year[s] Jehoram when became king he and eight years he reigned in Jerusalem.
Joram var fo og tredive År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede otte År i Jerusalem.
6 And he walked in [the] way of - [the] kings of Israel just as they did [the] house of Ahab for [the] daughter of Ahab she was of him wife and he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh.
Han vandrede i Israels Kongers Spor ligesom Akabs Hus, thi han havde en Datter af Akab til Hustru, og han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne.
7 And not he was willing Yahweh to destroy [the] house of David on account of the covenant which he had made to David and since he had said to give to him a lamp and to descendants his all the days.
Dog vilde HERREN ikke tilintetgøre Davids Slægt for den Pagts Skyld, han havde sluttet med David, og efter det Løfte, han havde givet, at han altid skulde have en Lampe for hans Åsyn.
8 In days his it rebelled Edom from under [the] hand of Judah and they made king over them a king.
I hans Dage rev Edomiterne sig løs fra Judas Overherredømme og valgte sig en Konge.
9 And he passed over Jehoram with commanders his and all the chariotry with him and it was he arose night and he struck down Edom which was surrounding him and [the] commanders of the chariotry.
Da drog Joram over til Za'ir med alle sine Stridsvogne. Og han stod op om Natten, og sammen med Vognstyrerne slog han sig igennem Edoms Rækker, der havde omringet ham.
10 And it has rebelled Edom from under [the] hand of Judah until the day this then it rebelled Libnah at the time that from under hand his for he had forsaken Yahweh [the] God of ancestors his.
Således rev Edom sig løs fra Judas Overherredømme, og således er det den Dag i Dag. På samme Tid rev også Libna sig løs fra hans Overherredømme, fordi han forlod HERREN, sine Fædres Gud.
11 Also he he made high places in [the] mountains of Judah and he made prostitute [themselves] [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem and he thrust aside Judah.
Også han rejste Offerhøje i Judas Byer og forledte Jerusalems Indbyggere til at bole og Juda til at falde fra.
12 And it came to him a writing from Elijah the prophet saying thus - he says Yahweh [the] God of David ancestor your because that not you have walked in [the] ways of Jehoshaphat father your and in [the] ways of Asa [the] king of Judah.
Da kom der et Brev fra Profeten Elias til ham, og deri stod: "Så siger HERREN, din Fader Davids Gud: Fordi du ikke har vandret i din Fader Josafats og Kong Asa af Judas Spor,
13 And you have walked in [the] way of [the] kings of Israel and you have made prostitute [themselves] Judah and [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem as made [them] prostitute [themselves] [the] house of Ahab and also brothers your [the] house of father your good more than you you killed.
men i Israels Kongers Spor og forledt Juda og Jerusalems Indbyggere til at bole, ligesom Akabs Hus gjorde, og tilmed dræbt dine Brødre, din Faders Hus, der var bedre end du selv,
14 Here! Yahweh [is] about to strike a blow great on people your and on sons your and on wives your and on all property your.
se, derfor vil HERREN nu ramme dit Folk, dine Sønner, dine Hustruer og alt, hvad du ejer, med et tungt Slag.
15 And you [will be] in sickness great in [the] sickness of bowels your until they will come out bowels your from the sickness days to days.
Og selv skal du falde i en hård Sygdom og blive syg i dine Indvolde, så at Indvoldene nogen Tid efter skal træde ud som Følge af Sygdommen!"
16 And he stirred up Yahweh on Jehoram [the] spirit of the Philistines and the Arabs who [were] on [the] hand [the] Cushites.
Så æggede HERREN Filisterne og Araberne, der var Naboer til Kusjiterne, imod Joram,
17 And they came up on Judah and they broke into it and they took captive all the property which was found to [the] house of the king and also sons his and wives his and not he remained to him a son that except Jehoahaz [the] young [one] of sons his.
og de drog opmod Juda trængte ind og røvede alle Kongens Ejendele, som fandtes i hans Palads, også hans Sønner og Hustruer, så der ikke levnedes ham nogen Søn undtagen Joahaz, den yngste af hans Sønner.
18 And after all this he struck him Yahweh - in bowels his to a sickness to there not [was] healing.
Og efter alt dette slog HERREN ham med en uhelbredelig Sygdom i hans Indvolde.
19 And it was to days - from days and about [the] time of [the] going out of the end of days two they came out bowels his with sickness his and he died in diseases harmful and not they made for him people his a burning like [the] burning of ancestors his.
Nogen Tid efter, da to År var gået, trådte Indvoldene ud som Følge af Sygdommen, og han døde under hårde Lidelser. Hans Folk tændte intet Bål til Ære for ham som for hans Fædre.
20 A son of thirty and two [years] he was when became king he and eight years he reigned in Jerusalem and he went with not desire and people buried him in [the] city of David and not in [the] graves of the kings.
Han var to og tredive År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede otte År i Jerusalem. Han gik bort uden at savnes. Man jordede ham i Davidsbyen, dog ikke i Kongegravene.
