2 Kungaboken 14

1 Uti andro årena Joas, Joahas sons, Israels Konungs, vardt Amazia Konung, Joas, Juda. Konungs, son.

In the second year of Joas the son of Joachaz king of Israel, did Amessias also the son of Joas the king of Juda begin to reign.

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.

Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Joadim 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.

And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, but not as David his father: he did according to all things that his father Joas did.

4 Ty höjderna vordo icke aflagda; utan folket offrade och rökte ännu på höjderna.

Only he removed not the high places: as yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.

5 Då han nu var mägtig vorden i riket, slog han sina tjenare, som Konungen hans fader dräpit hade.

And it came to pass when the kingdom was established in his hand, that he killed his servants that had slain 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 killed not the sons of those that had slain him; according as it is written in the book of the laws of Moses, as the Lord gave commandment, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, and the children shall not be put to death for the fathers; but every one shall die for his own sins.

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 struck of Edom ten thousand in the valley of salt, and took the Rock in the war, and called its name Jethoel until 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 Amessias sent messengers to Joas son of Joachaz son of Ju king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the 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 Joas the king of Israel sent to Amessias king of Juda, saying, The thistle that was in Libanus sent to the cedar that was in Libanus, saying, Give my daughter to your son to wife: and the wild beasts of the field that were in Libanus passed by and trod down the thistle.

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?

You have struck and wounded Edom, and your heart has lifted you up: stay at home and glorify yourself; for therefore are you quarrelsome to your hurt? So [both] you will fall and Juda with you.

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.

Nevertheless Amessias listened not: so Joas king of Israel went up, and he and Amessias king of Juda looked one another in the face in Baethsamys of Juda.

12 Men Juda vardt slagen för Israel, så att hvar och en flydde i sina hyddo.

And Juda was overthrown before Israel, and [every] man fled 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 Joas king of Israel took Amessias the son of Joas the son of Ochozias, in Baethsamys; and he came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, [beginning] at the gate of Ephraim as far as the gate of the corner, 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 the gold, and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and the hostages, and returned 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.

And the rest of the acts of Joas, [even] all that he did in his might, how he warred with Amessias king of Juda, are not these things written in the book of the chronicles 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 Joas slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.

17 Men Amazia. Joas son, Juda Konungs, lefde efter Joas död, Joahas sons, Israels Konungs, i femton år.

And Amessias the son of Joas king of Juda lived after the death of Joas son of Joachaz king of Israel fifteen years.

18 Hvad nu mer af Amazia sägandes är, det är skrifvet uti Juda Konungars Chrönico.

And the rest of the acts of Amessias, and all that he did, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?

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.

And they formed a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachis: and they sent after him to Lachis, and killed him there.

20 Och de förde honom dädan på hästar; och han vardt begrafven i Jerusalem, när sina fäder uti Davids stad.

And they brought him upon horses; and he was buried in Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.

21 Och hela Juda folk togo Asaria, uti lians sextonde äre, och gjorde honom till Konung i hans faders Amazia stad.

And all the people of Juda took Azarias, and he was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amessias.

22 Han byggde Elath, och fick det igen under Juda, sedan Konungen med hans fäder afsomnad var.

He built Aeloth, and restored it to Juda, after the king slept with his fathers.

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 Amessias son of Joas king of Juda began Jeroboam son of Joas to reign over Israel in Samaria forty and one years.

24 Och gjorde det ondt varför Herranom, och öfvergaf icke alla Jerobeams, Nebats sons, synder, den Israel kom till att synda.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin.

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 recovered the coast of Israel from the entering in of Aemath to the sea of Araba, according to the word of the Lord God of Israel, which he spoke by his servant Jonas the son of Amathi, the prophet of Gethchopher.

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 [that] the affliction of Israel [was] very bitter, and that they were few in number, straitened and in lack, and destitute, and 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 said that he would not blot out the seed of Israel from under heaven; so he delivered them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joas.

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.

And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam and all that he did, and his mighty deeds, which he achieved in war, and how he recovered Damascus and Aemath to Juda in Israel, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles 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 slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zacharias his son reigned in his stead.
