Anden Kongebog 15

1 I Kong Jeroboam af Israels syvogtyvende Regeringsår blev Azarja, Amazjas Søn, Konge over Juda.

In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam, the king of Israel: Azariah, the son of Amaziah, reigned as king of Judah.

2 Han var seksten År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede to og halvtredsindstyve År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Jekolja og var fra Jerusalem.

He was sixteen years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

3 Han gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENs Øjne, ganske som hans Fader Amazja.

And he did what was pleasing before the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Amaziah, did.

4 Kun forsvandt Offerhøjeneikke, men Folket blev ved med at ofre og tænde Offerild på Højene,

Yet truly, he did not demolish the high places. And still the people were sacrificing, and burning incense, in the high places.

5 Men HERREN ramte Kongen, så han blev spedalsk til sin Dødedag; og han fik Lov at blive boende i sit Hus, medens Kongens Søn Jotam rådede i Paladset og dømte Folket i Landet.

Now the Lord struck the king, and he became a leper, even until the day of his death. And he was living in a separate house by himself. And truly, Jotham, the son of the king, governed the palace, and he judged the people of the land.

6 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Azarja, alt, hvad han udførte, står jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.

Now the rest of the words of Azariah, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?

7 Så jagde han sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og man jordede ham hos hans Fædre i Davidsbyen; og hans Søn Jotam blev Konge i hans Sted.

9 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, ligesom hans Fædre, og han veg ikke fra de Synder, Jeroboam Nebats Søn, havde forledt Israel til.

And he did what is evil before the Lord, just as his fathers had done. He did not withdraw from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.

10 Men Sjallum, Jabesjs Søn, stiftede en Sammensværgelse modham, huggede ham ned og dræbte ham i Jibleam og blev Konge i hans Sted.

Then Shallum, the son of Jabesh, conspired against him. And he struck him openly, and killed him. And he reigned in his place.

11 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Zekarja, står optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.

Now the rest of the words of Zechariah, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

12 Således opfyldtes det Ord HERREN havde talet til Jehu, da han sagde: "Dine Sønner skal sidde på Israels Trone indtil fjerde Led." Således gik det.

This was the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Jehu, saying: “Your sons, even to the fourth generation, shall sit upon the throne of Israel.” And so it happened.

Now the rest of the words of Shallum, and his conspiracy, by which he carried out treachery, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

16 Fra Tirza hærgede Menahem ved den Tid Tappua og alt, hvad der var deri, og hele dets Område, fordi de ikke havde åbnet Portene for ham; derfor hærgede han det og lod Livet rive op på alle frugtsommelige Kvinder der.

Then Menahem struck Tirzah, and all who were in it, and its borders around Tirzah. For they were not willing to open to him. And he killed all of its pregnant women, and he tore them open.

Then Pul, the king of the Assyrians, came into the land. And Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents of silver, so that he would be a help to him, and so that he might strengthen his kingdom.

20 Menahem inddrev disse Penge hos Israel, hos alle de velhavende, halvtredsindstyve Sekel Sølv hos hver, for at udbetale dem til Assyrerkongen. Så vendte Assyrerkongen hjem og blev ikke længer der i Landet.

And Menahem proclaimed a tax upon Israel, on all who were powerful and wealthy, so that each one would give to the king of the Assyrians fifty shekels of silver. Then the king of the Assyrians turned back, and he did not remain in the land.
