2 Kings 22

1 [was] a son of Eight year[s] Josiah when became king he and thirty and one year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his [was] Jedidah [the] daughter of Adaiah from Bozkath.

Josias var otte År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede een og tredive År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Jedida og var en Datter af Adaja fra Bozkat.

2 And he did the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh and he walked in all [the] way of David ancestor his and not he turned aside right [hand] and left [hand].

Han gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENs Øjne, og vandrede nøje i sin Fader Davids Spor uden at vige til højre eller venstre.

3 And it was in eight-teen year of the king Josiah he sent the king Shaphan [the] son of Azaliah [the] son of Meshullam the scribe [the] house of Yahweh saying.

I Kong Josias's attende Regeringsår sendte Kongen Statsskriveren Sjafan, en Søn af Mesjullams Søn Azalja, til HERRENs Hus og sagde:

4 Go up to Hilkiah the priest great so he may complete the money which has been brought [the] house of Yahweh which they have gathered [the] keepers of the threshold from with the people.

"Gå op til Ypperstepræsten Hilkija og lad ham tage de Penge frem, der er indkommet i HERRENs Hus, og som Dørvogterne har samlet ind hos Folket,

5 (And let them put it *Q(k)*) on [the] hand of [the] doers of the work who were appointed ([the] house of *Q(K)*) Yahweh and let them give it to [the] doers of the work who [are] in [the] house of Yahweh to repair [the] damage of the house.

for af man kan give Pengene til dem, der står for Arbejdet, dem, der har Tilsyn med HERRENs Hus; de skal så give dem til Arbejderne i HERRENs Hus til Istandsættelse af de brøstfældige Steder på Templet,

6 To the craftsmen and to the builders and to the masons and to acquire wood and stones of hewing to repair the house.

til Tømrerne, Bygningsmændene og Murerne, og til Indkøb af Træ og tilhugne Sten til Templets Istandsættelse.

7 Only not it will be accounted for with them the money which is put on hand their for in faithfulness they [are] working.

Bog skal der ikke holdes Regnskab med dem over de Penge, der overlades dem, men de skal handle på Tro og Love."

8 And he said Hilkiah the priest great to Shaphan the scribe [the] scroll of the law I found in [the] house of Yahweh and he gave Hilkiah the scroll to Shaphan and he read it.

Da sagde Ypperstepræsten Hilkija til Statsskriveren Sjafan: "Jeg har fundet Lovbogen i HERRENS Hus!" Og Hilkija gav Sjafan Bogen, og han læste den.

9 And he went Shaphan the scribe to the king and he brought back the king word and he said they have poured out servants your the money which was found in the house and they have put it on [the] hand of [the] doers of the work who were appointed [the] house of Yahweh.

Derpå begav Statsskriveren Sjafan sig til Kongen og aflagde Beretning for ham og sagde: "Dine Trælle har taget de Penge frem, der fandtes i Templet, og givet dem til dem, der står for Arbejdet, dem, der har Tilsyn med HERRENs Hus."

10 And he told Shaphan the scribe to the king saying a scroll he gave to me Hilkiah the priest and he read aloud it Shaphan before the king.

Derpå gav Statsskriveren Sjafan Kongen den Meddelelse: "Præsten Hilkija gav mig en Bog!" Og Sjafan læste den for Kongen.

11 And it was when heard the king [the] words of [the] scroll of the law and he tore clothes his.

Men da Kongen hørte, hvad der stod i Lovbogen, sønderrev han sine Klæder;

12 And he commanded the king Hilkiah the priest and Ahikam [the] son of Shaphan and Achbor [the] son of Micaiah and - Shaphan the scribe and Asaiah [the] servant of the king saying.

og Kongen bød Præsten Hilkija, Ahikam, Sjafans Søn, Akbor, Mikas Søn, Statsskriveren Sjafan og Kongens Tjener Asaja:

13 Go consult Yahweh for me and for the people and for all Judah on [the] words of the scroll which had been found this for [is] great [the] anger of Yahweh which it it has been kindled in us on that not they listened ancestors our to [the] words of the scroll this to do according to every [thing] written on us.

"Gå hen og rådspørg på mine og Folkets og hele Judas Vegne HERREN om Indholdet af denne Bog, der er fundet; thi stor er Vreden, der er blusset op hos HERREN imod os, fordi vore Fædre ikke har adlydt Ordene i denne Bog og ikke har handlet nøje efter, hvad der står skrevet deri."

14 And he went Hilkiah the priest and Ahikam and Achbor and Shaphan and Asaiah to Huldah the prophetess [the] wife of - Shallum [the] son of Tikvah [the] son of Harhas [the] keeper of the garments and she [was] dwelling in Jerusalem in the second district and they spoke to her.

Præsten Hilkija, Ahikam, Akbor, Sjafan og Asaja gik da hen og talte med Profetinden Hulda, som var gift med Sjallum, Opsynsmanden over Tøjet, en Søn af Harhas's Søn Tikva, og som boede i Jerusalem i den nye Bydel.

15 And she said to them thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel say to the man who he sent you to me.

Hun sagde til dem: "Så siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Sig til den Mand, der sendte eder til mig:

16 Thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to bring calamity to the place this and on inhabitants its all [the] words of the scroll which he has read [the] king of Judah.

Så siger HERREN: Se, jeg vil bringe Ulykke over dette Sted og dets Indbyggere, alt, hvad der står i den Bog, Judas Konge har læst,

17 Because - that they have forsaken me and they have made smoke to gods other so as to provoke to anger me by all [the] work of hands their and it will be kindled anger my in the place this and not it will be quenched.

til Straf for at de har forladt mig og tændt Offerild for andre Guder, så at de krænkede mig med alt deres Hænders Værk, og min Vrede vil blusse op mod dette Sted uden at slukkes!

18 And to [the] king of Judah who sent you to consult Yahweh thus you will say to him thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel the words which you have heard.

Men til Judas Konge, der sendte eder for at rådspørge HERREN, skal I sige således: Så siger HERREN, Israels Gud: De Ord, du har hørt, står fast;

19 Because it was soft heart your and you humbled yourself - from before Yahweh when hearing you [that] which I had spoken on the place this and on inhabitants its to become a horror and a curse and you tore clothes your and you wept before me and also I I have heard [the] utterance of Yahweh.

men efterdi dit Hjerte bøjede sig og du ydmygede dig for HERREN, da du hørte, hvad jeg har talet mod dette Sted og dets Indbyggere, at de skal blive til Rædsel og Forbandelse, og efterdi du sønderrev dine Klæder og græd for mit Åsyn, så har også jeg hørt dig, lyder det fra HERREN!

20 Therefore here I [will] gather you to ancestors your and you will be gathered to grave your in peace and not they will look eyes your on all the distress which I [will] bring on the place this and they brought back the king word.

Og jeg vil lade dig samles til dine Fædre, og du skal samles til dem i Fred i din Grav, uden at dine Øjne får al den Ulykke at se, som jeg vil bringe over defte Sted." Det Svar bragte de Kongen.
