2 Chronicles 28
1 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, as David his ancestor had done.
Akaza var tyve År gammel da han blev Konge, og han herskede seksten År i Jerusalem. Han gjorde ikke, hvad der var ret i HERRENs Øjne, som hans Fader David,
2 Instead, he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel; he also made cast metal figures for the Baals.
men vandrede i Israels Kongers Spor Ja, han lod lave støbte Billeder til Ba'alerne;
3 In addition, he burned incense in the Valley of Ben Hinnom and he caused his children to pass through the fire, according to the idolatrous practices of the people that Yahweh forced out of their land before the people of Israel.
han tændte selv Offerild i Hinnoms Søns Dal og lod sine Sønner gå igennem Ilden efter de Folks vederstyggelige Skik, som HERREN havde drevet bort foran Israeliterne.
4 He sacrificed and burned incense at the high places and on the hills and under every green tree.
Han ofrede og tændte Offerild på Offerhøjene og de høje Steder og under alle grønne Træer.
5 Therefore Yahweh the God of Ahaz gave him into the hand of the king of Aram. The Arameans defeated him and carried away from him a great crowd of prisoners, bringing them to Damascus. Ahaz was also given into the hand of the king of Israel who defeated him in a great slaughter.
Derfor gav HERREN hans Gud ham i Arams Konges Hånd, og de slog ham og tog mange af hans Folk til Fange og førte dem til Darmaskus. Ligeledes blev han givet i Israels Konges Hånd, og denne tilføjede ham et stort Nederlag.
6 For Pekah son of Remaliah in one day killed 120,000 soldiers in Judah and all of them were powerful men, because they had forsaken Yahweh the God of their ancestors.
Peka, Remaljas Søn, dræbte i Juda 120.000 Mennesker på een Dag, lutter dygtige Krigsfolk, fordi de havde forladt HERREN, deres Fædres Gud.
7 Zicri, a powerful man from Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king's son, Azrikam, the official over the palace, and Elkanah, who was next to the king.
Den efraimitiske Helt Zikri dræbte Kongesønnen Ma'aseja, Paladsøversten Azrikam og Elkana, den ypperste næst Kongen.
8 The army of Israel took captive from their relatives 200,000 wives, sons, and daughters. They also took much plunder, which they carried back to Samaria.
Israeliterne bortførte fra deres Brødre 200.000 Hustruer, Sønner og Døtre som Fanger og fratog dem et stort Bytte, som de førte til Samaria.
9 But a prophet of Yahweh was there, his name was Oded. He went out to meet the army coming into Samaria. He said to them, “Because Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, was angry with Judah, he gave them into your hand. But you have slaughtered them in a rage that reached up to heaven.
Her boede en HERRENs Profet ved Navn Oded; han gik Hæren i Møde, da den kom til Samaria, og sagde til dem: "Fordi HERREN, eders Fædres Gud, var vred på Juda, gav han dem i eders Hånd; men I har anrettet et Blodbad iblandt dem med et Raseri, der når til Himmelen!
10 Now you intend to keep the men and women of Judah and Jerusalem as your slaves. But are you not guilty of sins of your own against Yahweh your God?
Og nu tænker I på at få Magten over Folkene fra Juda og Jerusalem og gøre dem til eders Trælle og Trælkvinder! Har l da ikke også selv nok på Samvittigheden over for HERREN eders Gud!
11 Now then, listen to me: Send the prisoners back, those whom you have taken of your own brothers, for Yahweh's fierce wrath is on you.”
Lyd derfor mig og send de Fanger tilbage, som I har gjort blandt eders Brødre, thi HERRENs glødende Vrede er over eder!"
12 Then certain leaders of the people of Ephraim—Azariah son of Jehohanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai, stood up against those who came back from the war.
Da trådte nogle af Efraimiternes Overhoveder, Azarja, Johanans Søn, Berekja, Mesjillemots Søn, Hizkija, Sjallums Søn, og Amasa, Hadlajs Søn, frem for de hjemvendte Krigere
13 They said to them, “You must not bring the prisoners here, for you intend something that will bring on us sin against Yahweh, to add to our sins and trespasses, for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.”
og sagde til dem: "I må ikke bringe Fangerne herhen! Thi I har i Sinde at øge vote Synder og vor Skyld ud over den Skyld, vi har over for HERREN; thi stor er vor Skyld, og glødende Vrede er over Israel!"
14 So the armed men left the prisoners and the plunder before the leaders and all the assembly.
Da gav de væbnede Slip på Fangerne og Byttet i Øversternes og hele Forsamlingens Påsyn;
15 The men who were assigned by name got up and took the prisoners, and clothed all who were naked among them with the plunder. They clothed them and gave them sandals. They gave them food to eat and drink. They treated their wounds and put the weak ones on donkeys. They took them back to their families in Jericho, (called the City of Palms). Then they returned to Samaria.
og de ovenfor nævnte Mænd stod op og tog sig af Fangerne, gav alle de nøgne iblandt dem Klæder af Byttet, forsynede dem med Klæder og Sko, gav dem Mad og Drikke, salvede dem, lod dem, der ikke kunde gå, ride på Æsler og bragte dem til Jeriko, Palmestaden, hen i Nærheden af deres Brødre; derpå vendte de tilbage til Samaria.
16 At that time King Ahaz sent messengers to the kings of Assyria to ask them to help him.
På den Tid sendte Kong Akaz Assyrerkongen Bud om Hjælp.
17 For once again the Edomites had come and attacked Judah, carrying prisoners away.
Tilmed trængte Edomiterne ind og slog Judæerne og slæbte Krigsfanger bort.
18 The Philistines also invaded the cities of the lowlands and of the Negev of Judah. They took Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soko with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and also Gimzo with its villages. They went to live in those places.
Og Filisterne faldt ind i Lavlandets Byer og den judæiske Del af Sydlandet og indtog Bet-Sjemesj, Ajjalon, Gederot, Soko med Småbyer, Timna med Småbyer og Gimzo med Småbyer og bosatte sig der.
19 For Yahweh brought Judah low because of Ahaz, king of Israel; for he had acted wickedly in Judah and had sinned against Yahweh very heavily.
Thi HERREN ydmygede Juda for Kong Akaz af Judas Skyld, fordi han havde ladet Tøjlesløshed opkomme i Juda og været troløs mod HERREN.
20 Tiglath-Pileser, king of Assyria, came to him and troubled him instead of strengthening him.
Men Assyrerkongen Tillegat-Pilneser drog imod ham og bragte ham i Nød i Stedet for at hjælpe ham;
21 For Ahaz plundered the house of Yahweh and the houses of the king and the leaders, to give the valuable things to the kings of Assyria. But doing this did not benefit him.
thi Akaz plyndrede HERRENs Hus, og Kongens Palads og Øversternes Palads og gav det til Assyrerkongen, men det hjalp ham intet.
22 This same King Ahaz sinned even more against Yahweh in his time of suffering.
Og selv da Assyrerkongen bragte ham i Nød, var Kong Akaz på ny troløs mod HERREN;
23 For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, gods that had defeated him. He said, “Because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, I will sacrifice to them, so that they might help me.” But they were the ruin of him and of all Israel.
han ofrede til Darmaskus's Guder, som havde slået ham, idet han sagde: "Aramæerkongernes Guder har jo hjulpet dem; til dem vil jeg ofre, at de også må hjælpe mig!" Men de blev ham og hele Israel til Fald.
24 Ahaz gathered together the furnishings of the house of God and cut them to pieces. He shut the doors of the house of Yahweh and he made for himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
Også samlede Akaz Karrene i Guds Hus og slog dem i Stykker; og han lukkede HERRENs Hus's Porte og lavede sig Altre ved hvert et Hjørne i Jerusalem;
25 In every city of Judah he made high places to burn sacrifices to other gods. He provoked Yahweh, the God of his ancestors, to anger.
og i hver eneste By i Juda indrettede han Offerhøje for at tænde Offerild for fremmede Guder; således krænkede han HERREN, sine Fædres Gud.
26 Now the rest of his deeds, and all his ways, first and last, see, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om ham og hele hans Færd fra først til sidst, står jo optegnet i Bogen om Judas og Israels Konger.
27 Ahaz slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem, but they did not bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel. Hezekiah, his son, became king in his place.
Så lagde Akaz sig til Hvile bos sine Fædre, og man jordede ham i Jerusalem, inde i Byen, thi man vilde ikke jorde ham i Israels Kongegrave; og hans Søn Ezekias blev Konge i hans Sted.
