2 Kings 23
1 The king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
Och Konungen sände bort, och till honom församlades alle de äldste i Juda och Jerusalem.
2 The king went up to the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the scroll of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD.
Och Konungen gick upp i Herrans hus, och hvar man af Juda, och alle Jerusalems inbyggare med honom, Prester och Propheter, och allt folket, både små och store; och man las för deras öron all förbundsens boks ord, hvilken i Herrans hus funnen var.
3 The king stood by the pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this scroll; and all the people stood to the covenant.
Och Konungen gick in till en stod, och gjorde ett förbund för Herranom, att de skulle vandra efter Herranom, och hålla hans bud, vittnesbörd och rätter, af allt hjerta, och af allo själ, att de skulle upprätta detta förbunds ord, som skrifne stodo uti desso bok; och allt folket trädde uti förbundet.
4 The king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring forth out of the LORD's temple all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of heaven, and he burned them outside of Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel.
Och Konungen böd öfversta Prestenom Hilkia, och Prestenom af det andra skiftet, och dörravaktaromen, att de skulle utkasta af Herrans tempel allahanda tyg, som till Baal och lunden, och all himmelens här gjordt var; och de brände det upp utanför Jerusalem i Kidrons dal, och stoftet deraf vardt buret till BethEl.
5 He put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places around Jerusalem; those also who burned incense to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
Och han afsatte de Camarim, hvilka Juda Konungar stiktat hade, till att röka på höjderna uti Juda städer, och omkring Jerusalem; desslikes Baals, solenes, månans, planeternas och all himmelens härs rökare;
6 He brought out the Asherah from the house of the LORD, outside of Jerusalem, to the Kidron Valley, and burned it in the Kidron Valley, and beat it to dust, and cast its dust on the graves of the common people.
Och lät föra lunden utu Herrans hus, ut för Jerusalem, i Kidrons bäck; och brände honom upp i Kidrons bäck, och gjorde honom till stoft, och kastade stoftet uppå det meniga folks grifter.
7 He broke down the living quarters of the temple prostitutes, that were in the house of the LORD, where the women wove coverings for the Asherah.
Och han bröt bort de roffarehus, som voro vid Herrans hus, der qvinnor uti vofvo tapeter till lunden.
8 He brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba; and he broke down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man's left hand at the gate of the city.
Och han lät församla alla Presterna utu Juda städer, och orenade de höjder, der Presterna rökte, ifrå Geba allt intill BerSeba; och han bröt bort portaltaren, som voro uti ingångenom i Josua stadsfogdans port, hvilken voro på venstra sidone, der man går till stadsporten.
9 Nevertheless the priests of the high places did not come up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they ate unleavened bread among their brothers.
Dock offrade icke höjdernas Prester någon tid på Herrans altare i Jerusalem, utan åto af de osyrade brödena, ibland sina bröder.
10 He defiled Topheth, which is in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
Han orenade ock Tophet, uti Hinnoms barnas dal, att ingen skulle låta gå sin son eller sina dotter genom eld för Molech;
11 He took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entrance of the house of the LORD, by the room of Nathan Melech the officer, who was in the court; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
Och tog bort de hästar, hvilka Juda Konungar solene uppsatt hade, i ingångenom åt Herrans hus, till NethanMelechs åminnelse, kamererarens, som i Parvarim var; och solenes vagnar brände han upp i eld;
12 The king broke down the altars that were on the roof of the upper room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, and beat them down from there, and cast their dust into the Kidron Valley.
Så ock altaren på taken i Ahas sal, den Juda Konungar gjort hade; och de altare, som Manasse gjort hade uti de två gårdar åt Herrans hus, bröt Konungen bort, och lopp dädan, och kastade deras stoft i Kidrons bäck.
13 The king defiled the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mountain of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the people of Ammon.
Och de höjder, som för Jerusalem voro, på högra sidone, vid berget Mashith, som Salomo Israels Konung byggt hade till Astoreth, Zidons styggelse, och Chemos, Moabs styggelse, och Milcom, Ammons barnas styggelse, orenade Konungen;
14 He broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and filled their places with the bones of men.
Och slog sönder stoderna, och utrotade lundarna, och uppfyllde deras rum med menniskoben;
15 Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he broke down; and he burned the high place and beat it to dust, and burned the Asherah.
Sammalunda ock det altaret i BethEl, höjden, som Jerobeam, Nebats son, gjort hade, den Israel hade kommit till att synda; det samma altaret bröt han neder, och höjdena, och brände upp höjdena, och gjorde henne till stoft, och brände upp lunden.
16 And as Josiah turned himself, he saw the tombs that were there in the mountain. And he sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burned them on the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, when Jeroboam stood by the altar at the feast. And he turned and raised his eyes to the tomb of the man of God who proclaimed these things.
Och Josia vände sig om, och fick se de grifter, som voro på bergena, och sände bort, och lät hemta benen utu grifterna, och uppbrände dem på altarena, och orenade det, efter Herrans ord, som Guds mannen utropat hade, den detta så föresagt hade,
17 Then he said, "What monument is that which I see?" The men of the city told him, "It is the tomb of the man of God, who came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that you have done against the altar of Bethel."
Och han sade: Hvad är detta för en vård, som jag här ser? Och folket i stadenom sade till honom: Det är den Guds mansens grift, som af Juda kom, och detta utropade, som du gjort hafver med altarena i BethEl.
18 He said, "Let him be. Let no man move his bones." So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.
Och han sade: Låt honom ligga; ingen röre hans ben. Alltså vordo hans ben friade, med den Prophetens ben, som utaf Samarien kommen var.
19 All the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the LORD to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
Han kastade ock bort all höjders hus uti Samarie städer, som Israels Konungar gjort hade, till att förtörna ( Herran ), och gjorde med dem alldeles såsom han i BethEl gjort hade.
20 He killed all the priests of the high places that were there, on the altars, and burned men's bones on them; and he returned to Jerusalem.
Och han offrade alla höjdernas Prester, som der voro, på altaren, och brände så menniskoben deruppå, och kom igen till Jerusalem.
21 The king commanded all the people, saying, "Keep the Passover to the LORD your God, as it is written in this scroll of the covenant."
Och Konungen böd folkena, och sade: Håller Herranom edrom Gud Passah, såsom skrifvet är i denna förbunds bok.
22 Surely there was not kept such a Passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
Ty intet Passah var så hållet som detta, ifrå de domares tid, som Israel dömde, och i alla Israels Konungars och Juda Konungars tid;
23 but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this Passover kept to the LORD in Jerusalem.
Utan i adertonde årena Konungs Josia vardt detta Passah hållet Herranom i Jerusalem.
24 Moreover Josiah removed the mediums, and spiritists, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the scroll that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.
Desslikes rensade Josia ut alla spåmän, tecknatydare, beläte och afgudar, och all styggelse, som i Juda land och i Jerusalem sedde vordo; på det han skulle upprätta lagsens ord, som skrifne stodo i bokene, som Presten Hilkia fann i Herrans hus.
25 Like him was there no king before him, who turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
Hans like hade ingen Konung varit för honom, den så af allt hjerta, af allo själ, och alla krafter sig till Herran vände, efter all Mose lag; och efter honom kom ej heller hans like upp.
26 Notwithstanding, the LORD did not turn from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocation with which Manasseh had provoked him.
Dock vände icke Herren sig ifrå sine stora vredes grymhet, der han med öfver Juda förtörnad var, för all de retelses skull, dermed Manasse honom rett hade.
27 The LORD said, "I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, 'My name shall be there.'"
Och Herren sade: Jag vill ock kasta Juda ifrå mitt ansigte, såsom jag Israel bortkastat hafver; och skall förkasta denna staden, som jag utvalt hafver, nämliga Jerusalem, och det hus, der jag om sagt hafver: Mitt Namn skall vara der.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Hvad nu mer af Josia sägandes är, och allt det han gjort hafver, si, det är skrifvet uti Juda Konungars Chrönico.
29 In his days Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Perath: and king Josiah went against him; and Pharaoh Necoh killed him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.
Uti hans tid drog Pharao Necho, Konungen i Egypten, upp emot Konungen af Assyrien, vid den älfvena Phrat; men Konung Josia drog emot honom, och blef död i Megiddo, då han hade sett honom.
30 His servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. The people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's place.
Och hans tjenare förde honom dödan ifrå Megiddo, och hade honom till Jerusalem, och begrofvo honom i hans graf; och folket i landena togo Joahas, Josia son, och smorde honom, och gjorde honom till Konung i hans faders stad.
31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
Tre och tjugu åra gammal var Joahas, då han vardt Konung, och regerade tre månader i Jerusalem; hans moder het Hamutal, Jeremia dotter af Libna.
32 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
Och han gjorde det ondt var för Herranom, såsom hans fäder gjort hade.
33 Pharaoh Necoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of one hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
Men PharaoNecho grep honom i Riblath i Hamaths land, att han icke regera skulle i Jerusalem; och lade en beskattning på landet, hundrade centener silfver, och en centener guld.
34 Pharaoh Necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim: but he took Jehoahaz away; and he came to Egypt, and died there.
Och PharaoNecho gjorde Eliakim, Josia son, till Konung uti hans faders Josia stad, och vände hans namn Jojakim. Men Joahas tog han, och förde in uti Egypten; der blef han död.
35 Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of everyone according to his taxation, to give it to Pharaoh Necoh.
Och Jojakim gaf Pharao silfret och guldet; dock beskattade han landet, att han sådant silfver gifva kunde efter Pharaos befallning; hvar och en, efter sina förmågo, beskattade han till silfver och guld ibland folket i landena, att han det PharaoNecho gifva skulle.
36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
Fem och tjugu åra gammal var Jojakim, då han vardt Konung, och regerade ellofva år i Jerusalem; hans moder het Zebuda, Pedaja dotter af Ruma.
37 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
Och han gjorde det ondt var för Herranom, såsom hans fäder gjort hade.
