2 Kungaboken 14
1 Uti andro årena Joas, Joahas sons, Israels Konungs, vardt Amazia Konung, Joas, Juda. Konungs, son.
In the second year of Joash, son of Joahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah, the son of Joash, became king of Judah.
2 Fem och tjugu åra gammal var han, då han vardt Konung; och regerade nio och tjugu år i Jerusalem; hans moder het Joaddan af Jerusalem.
He was twenty-five years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years; his mother's name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.
3 Och han gjorde det Herranom väl behagade; dock icke såsom hans fader David, utan såsom hans fader Joas gjort hade, så gjorde han ock.
He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, though not like David his father; he did as Joash his father had done.
4 Ty höjderna vordo icke aflagda; utan folket offrade och rökte ännu på höjderna.
But still the high places were not taken away; the people went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.
5 Då han nu var mägtig vorden i riket, slog han sina tjenare, som Konungen hans fader dräpit hade.
Now when he became strong in the kingdom, straight away he put to death those servants who had taken the life of the king his father;
6 Men dråparenas barn drap han icke; såsom ock skrifvet är i Mose lagbok, der Herren budit hade, och sagt: Fäderna skola icke dö för barnens skull, och barnen skola icke dö för fädernas skull; utan hvar och en skall dö för sina synd.
But he did not put their children to death; for the orders of the Lord recorded in the book of the law of Moses say, The fathers are not to be put to death for the children, or the children for their fathers; but a man is to be put to death for the sin which he himself has done.
7 Han slog desslikes de Edomeer i saltdalenom, tiotusend, och vann den staden Sela med strid; och kallade honom Joktheel, allt intill denna dag.
He put to the sword twelve thousand men of Edom in the Valley of Salt, and took Sela in war, naming it Joktheel, as it is to this day.
8 Då sände Amazia båd till Joas, Joahas son, Jehu sons, Israels Konung, och lät säga honom: Kom hit, och låt oss se hvarannan.
Then Amaziah sent representatives to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us have a meeting face to face.
9 Men Joas, Israels Konung, sände till Amazia, Juda Konung, och lät säga honom: Törnebusken, som i Libanon är, sände till cedreträt i Libanon, och sade: Gif dina dotter minom son till hustru; men vilddjuret på markene i Libanon lopp öfver törnebuskan, och förtrampade honom,
And Jehoash, king of Israel, sent to Amaziah, king of Judah, saying, The thorn-tree in Lebanon sent to the cedar in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son for a wife: and a beast from the woodland in Lebanon went by, crushing the thorn under his feet.
10 Du hafver slagit de Edomeer, deraf förhäfver sig ditt hjerta; behåll den prisen, och blif hemma; hvi söker du efter olycko, att du må falla, och Juda med dig?
It is true that you have overcome Edom and your heart is uplifted; let that glory be enough for you, and keep in your country; why do you make causes of trouble, putting yourself, and Judah with you, in danger of downfall?
11 Men Amazia hörde honom intet. Så drog Joas, Israels Konung, upp; och de besågo hvarannan, han och Amazia, Juda Konung, i BethSemes, som i Juda ligger.
But Amaziah gave no attention. So Jehoash, king of Israel, went up, and he and Amaziah, king of Judah, came face to face at Beth-shemesh, which is in Judah.
12 Men Juda vardt slagen för Israel, så att hvar och en flydde i sina hyddo.
And Judah was overcome before Israel, so that they went in flight, every man to his tent.
13 Och Joas, Israels Konung, grep Amazia, Juda Konung, Joas son, Ahasia sons, i BethSemes; och kom till Jerusalem, och ref omkull, murarna i, Jerusalem, ifrån Ephraims port, allt intill hörnporten, fyrahundrad alnar långt.
And Jehoash, king of Israel, made Amaziah, king of Judah, the son of Jehoash, son of Ahaziah, prisoner at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and had the wall of Jerusalem pulled down from the doorway of Ephraim to the door in the angle, four hundred cubits.
14 Och tog allt det guld och silfver, och tyg, som funnet vardt i Herrans hus, och i Konungshusens fatebur, dertill barnen, till pant; och drog åter till Samarien.
And he took all the gold and silver and all the vessels which were in the house of the Lord and in the store-house of the king, together with those whose lives would be the price of broken faith, and went back to Samaria.
15 Hvad nu mer af Joas sägande är, det han gjort hafver, och hans magt, och huru han med Amazia, Juda Konung, stridde, si, det är skrifvet uti Israels Konungars Chrönico.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash, and his power, and how he went to war with Amaziah, king of Judah, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
16 Och Joas afsomnade med sina fader, och vardt begrafven i Samarien ibland Israels Konungar; och hans son Jerobeam vardt Konung i hans stad.
And Jehoash went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son became king in his place.
17 Men Amazia. Joas son, Juda Konungs, lefde efter Joas död, Joahas sons, Israels Konungs, i femton år.
Amaziah, the son of Joash, king of Judah, went on living for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
18 Hvad nu mer af Amazia sägandes är, det är skrifvet uti Juda Konungars Chrönico.
And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
19 Och de gjorde ett förbund emot honom i Jerusalem; men han flydde till Lachis. Och de sände efter honom till Lachis, och dråpo honom der.
Now they made a secret design against him in Jerusalem; and he went in flight to Lachish, but they sent after him to Lachish and put him to death there.
20 Och de förde honom dädan på hästar; och han vardt begrafven i Jerusalem, när sina fäder uti Davids stad.
And they took his body on horseback and put it into the earth with his fathers in Jerusalem, the town of David.
21 Och hela Juda folk togo Asaria, uti lians sextonde äre, och gjorde honom till Konung i hans faders Amazia stad.
Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
22 Han byggde Elath, och fick det igen under Juda, sedan Konungen med hans fäder afsomnad var.
He was the builder of Elath, which he got back for Judah after the death of the king.
23 Uti femtonde årena Amazia, Joas sons, Juda Konungs, vardt Jerobeam, Joas son, Konung öfver Israel i Samarien, ett och fyratio år,
In the fifteenth year of the rule of Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel, became king in Samaria, ruling for forty-one years.
24 Och gjorde det ondt varför Herranom, och öfvergaf icke alla Jerobeams, Nebats sons, synder, den Israel kom till att synda.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not turning away from the sin which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do.
25 Men han tog igen Israels gränsor, ifrå Hamath allt intill hafvet, som ligger i hedmarkene, efter Herrans Israels Guds ord, som han sagt hade genom, sin tjenare Propheten Jona, Amitthai son, som var af GathHepher.
He got back the old limits of Israel from the way into Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, as the Lord had said by his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet of Gath-hepher.
26 Ty Herren såg till Israels svåra jämmer, så att ock de innelyckte och igenlefde förgingos; och ingen hjelpare var i Israel.
For the Lord saw how bitter was the trouble of Israel, and that everyone was cut off, he who was shut up and he who went free, and that Israel had no helper.
27 Och Herren hade icke sagt, att han ville utskrapa Israels namn under himmelen; utan halp dem genom Jerobeam, Joas son.
And the Lord had not said that the name of Israel was to be taken away from the earth; but he gave them a saviour in Jeroboam, the son of Joash.
28 Hvad nu mer af Jerobeam sägandes är, och allt det han gjort hafver, och hans magt, huru han stridt hafver, och huru han igenfick Damascon och Hamath till Juda i Israel, si, det är skrifvet i Israels Konungars Chrönico.
Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all he did, and his power, and how he went to war with Damascus, causing the wrath of the Lord to be turned away from Israel, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
29 Och Jerobeam afsomnade med sina fäder, Israels Konungar; och hans son Zacharia vardt Konung i hans stad.
And Jeroboam went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son became king in his place.
