2 Chronicles 33
1 A son of twelve years is Manasseh in his reigning, and fifty and five years he hath reigned in Jerusalem;
Manasse var tolv Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede fem og halvtredsindstyve Aar i Jerusalem.
2 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, like the abominations of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel,
Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, efter de Hedningers Vederstyggeligheder, som Herren havde fordrevet for Israels Børns Ansigt.
3 and he turneth and buildeth the high places that Hezekiah his father hath broken down, and raiseth altars for Baalim, and maketh shrines, and boweth himself to all the host of the heavens, and serveth them.
Thi han opbyggede igen de Høje, som Ezekias, hans Fader, havde nedbrudt, og oprejste Altre til Baalerne og gjorde Astartebilleder og tilbad al Himmelens Hær og tjente dem.
4 And he hath built altars in the house of Jehovah of which Jehovah had said, 'In Jerusalem is My name to the age.'
Og han byggede Altre i Herrens Hus, om hvilke Herren havde sagt: I Jerusalem skal mit Navn være evindelig.
5 And he buildeth altars to all the host of the heavens in the two courts of the house of Jehovah.
Tilmed byggede han Altre til hele Himmelens Hær i begge Forgaardene til Herrens Hus.
6 And he hath caused his sons to pass over through fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and observed clouds and used enchantments and witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and a wizard; he hath multiplied to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
Og han lod sine Sønner gaa igennem Ilden i Hinnoms Søns Dal og var en Dagvælger og agtede paa Fugleskrig og brugte Trolddom og beskikkede Spaamænd og Tegnsudlæggere, han gjorde meget ondt for Herrens Øjne til at opirre ham.
7 And he placeth the graven image of the idol that he made in the house of God, of which God said unto David, and unto Solomon his son, 'In this house, and in Jerusalem that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I put My name to the age,
Han satte og et udskaaret Billede, som han lod gøre, i Guds Hus, om hvilket Gud havde sagt til David og til Salomo, hans Søn: I dette Hus og i Jerusalem, som jeg har udvalgt fremfor alle Israels Stammer, vil jeg sætte mit Navn evindelig.
8 and I add not to turn aside the foot of Israel from off the ground that I appointed to your fathers, only, if they watch to do all that I have commanded them — to all the law, and the statutes, and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.'
Og jeg vil ikke mere lade Israels Fod fortrænges fra Landet, som jeg bestemte for deres Fædre; kun saafremt de tage Vare paa at gøre alt det, jeg har budet dem, efter hele Loven og Skikkene og Budene ved Mose.
9 And Manasseh maketh Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, to do evil above the nations that Jehovah destroyed from the presence of the sons of Israel.
Men Manasse forførte Juda og Indbyggerne i Jerusalem til at handle værre end Hedningerne, som Herren havde ødelagt for Israels Børns Ansigt.
10 And Jehovah speaketh unto Manasseh and unto his people, and they have not attended,
Og Herren talte til Manasse og til hans Folk; men de gave ikke Agt derpaa.
11 and Jehovah bringeth in against them the heads of the host that the king of Asshur hath, and they capture Manasseh among the thickets, and bind him with brazen fetters, and cause him to go to Babylon.
Derfor lod Herren Kongen af Assyriens Hærførere komme over dem, og de grebe Manasse iblandt Tornebuskene, og de bandt ham med to Kobberlænker og førte ham til Babel.
12 And when he is in distress he hath appeased the face of Jehovah his God, and is humbled exceedingly before the God of his fathers,
Og der han kom i Angest, bad han ydmygelig for Herren sin Guds Ansigt og ydmygede sig saare for sine Fædres Guds Ansigt.
13 and prayeth unto Him, and He is entreated of him, and heareth his supplication, and bringeth him back to Jerusalem, to his kingdom, and Manasseh knoweth that Jehovah — He [is] God.
Ja, han bad til ham, og Gud bønhørte ham og hørte hans ydmyge Begæring og førte ham tilbage til Jerusalem, til hans Rige; da kendte Manasse, at Herren var Gud.
14 And after this he hath built an outer wall to the city of David, on the west of Gihon, in the valley, and at the entering in at the fish-gate, and it hath gone round to the tower, and he maketh it exceeding high, and he putteth heads of the force in all the cities of the bulwarks in Judah.
Og derefter byggede han den yderste Mur for Davids Stad, Vesten for Gihon i Dalen, og hen til Fiskeporten, og han førte den omkring Ofel og gjorde den saare høj; og han lagde Stridshøvedsmænd i alle Judas faste Stæder.
15 And he turneth aside the gods of the stranger, and the idol, out of the house of Jehovah, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of Jehovah and in Jerusalem, and casteth [them] to the outside of the city.
Og han borttog de fremmede Guder og hint Billede fra Herrens Hus og alle Altrene, som han havde bygget paa Herrens Hus's Bjerg og i Jerusalem, og han kastede dem uden for Staden.
16 And he buildeth the altar of Jehovah, and sacrificeth upon it sacrifices of peace-offerings and thank-offering, and saith to Judah to serve Jehovah, God of Israel;
Og han istandsatte Herrens Alter og ofrede derpaa Takofre og Lovofre; og han sagde til Juda, at de skulde tjene Herren, Israels Gud.
17 but still the people are sacrificing in high places, only — to Jehovah their God.
Dog ofrede Folket endnu paa Højene, men kun til Herren deres Gud.
18 And the rest of the matters of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the matters of the seers, those speaking unto him in the name of Jehovah, God of Israel, lo, they are [on the book of] the matters of the kings of Israel;
Men det øvrige af Manasses Handeler og hans Bøn til hans Gud og de Seeres Taler, som talte til ham i Herren Israels Guds Navn, se, dette er skrevet i Israels Kongers Krønike.
19 and his prayer, and his entreaty, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places in which he had built high places, and established the shrines and the graven images before his being humbled, lo, they are written beside the matters of Hozai.
Og hans Bøn, og at han blev bønhørt, og al hans Synd og Forgribelse og de Steder, paa hvilke han byggede Højene og satte Astartebilleder og udskaarne Billeder, førend han blev ydmyget; se, dette er skrevet i Seernes Krønike.
20 And Manasseh lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in his own house, and reign doth Amon his son in his stead.
Og Manasse laa med sine Fædre, og de begrove ham i hans Hus, og hans Søn Amon blev Konge i hans Sted.
21 A son of twenty and two years [is] Amon in his reigning, and two years he hath reigned in Jerusalem,
Amon var to og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede to Aar i Jerusalem.
22 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, as did Manasseh his father, and to all the graven images that Manasseh his father had made hath Amon sacrificed, and serveth them,
Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, ligesom Manasse, hans Fader, havde gjort, og til alle de udskaarne Billeder, som Manasse, hans Fader, havde gjort, ofrede Amon og tjente dem.
23 and hath not been humbled before Jehovah, like the humbling of Manasseh his father, for Amon himself hath multiplied guilt.
Men han ydmygede sig ikke for Herrens Ansigt, som hans Fader Manasse havde ydmyget sig; thi denne Amon gjorde Skylden mangfoldig.
24 And his servants conspire against him, and put him to death in his own house,
Og hans Tjenere gjorde et Forbund imod ham og dræbte ham i hans Hus.
25 and the people of the land smite all those conspiring against king Amon, and the people of the land cause Josiah his son to reign in his stead.
Men Folket i Landet slog alle dem ihjel, som havde gjort Forbund imod Kong Amon, og Folket i Landet gjorde Josias, hans Søn, til Konge i hans Sted.
