2 Chronicles 28
1 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, like David his father,
Akaza var tyve År gammel da han blev Konge, og han herskede seksten År i Jerusalem. Han gjorde ikke, hvad der var ret i HERRENs Øjne, som hans Fader David,
2 but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and also made molten images for the Baals.
men vandrede i Israels Kongers Spor Ja, han lod lave støbte Billeder til Ba'alerne;
3 Moreover he burned incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burned his children in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
han tændte selv Offerild i Hinnoms Søns Dal og lod sine Sønner gå igennem Ilden efter de Folks vederstyggelige Skik, som HERREN havde drevet bort foran Israeliterne.
4 He sacrificed and burned incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
Han ofrede og tændte Offerild på Offerhøjene og de høje Steder og under alle grønne Træer.
5 Therefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria. They struck him, and carried away from him a great multitude of captives, and brought them to Damascus. He was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who struck him with a great slaughter.
Derfor gav HERREN hans Gud ham i Arams Konges Hånd, og de slog ham og tog mange af hans Folk til Fange og førte dem til Darmaskus. Ligeledes blev han givet i Israels Konges Hånd, og denne tilføjede ham et stort Nederlag.
6 For Pekah the son of Remaliah killed in Judah one hundred twenty thousand in one day, all of them valiant men, because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers.
Peka, Remaljas Søn, dræbte i Juda 120.000 Mennesker på een Dag, lutter dygtige Krigsfolk, fordi de havde forladt HERREN, deres Fædres Gud.
7 Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king’s son, Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah who was next to the king.
Den efraimitiske Helt Zikri dræbte Kongesønnen Ma'aseja, Paladsøversten Azrikam og Elkana, den ypperste næst Kongen.
8 The children of Israel carried away captive of their brothers two hundred thousand women, sons, and daughters, and also took away much plunder from them, and brought the plunder to Samaria.
Israeliterne bortførte fra deres Brødre 200.000 Hustruer, Sønner og Døtre som Fanger og fratog dem et stort Bytte, som de førte til Samaria.
9 But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded; and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria, and said to them, “Behold, because the LORD, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah, he has delivered them into your hand, and you have slain them in a rage which has reached up to heaven.
Her boede en HERRENs Profet ved Navn Oded; han gik Hæren i Møde, da den kom til Samaria, og sagde til dem: "Fordi HERREN, eders Fædres Gud, var vred på Juda, gav han dem i eders Hånd; men I har anrettet et Blodbad iblandt dem med et Raseri, der når til Himmelen!
10 Now you intend to degrade the children of Judah and Jerusalem as male and female slaves for yourselves. Are not there even with you trespasses of your own against the LORD your God?
Og nu tænker I på at få Magten over Folkene fra Juda og Jerusalem og gøre dem til eders Trælle og Trælkvinder! Har l da ikke også selv nok på Samvittigheden over for HERREN eders Gud!
11 Now hear me therefore, and send back the captives that you have taken captive from your brothers, for the fierce wrath of the LORD is on you.”
Lyd derfor mig og send de Fanger tilbage, som I har gjort blandt eders Brødre, thi HERRENs glødende Vrede er over eder!"
12 Then some of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against those who came from the war,
Da trådte nogle af Efraimiternes Overhoveder, Azarja, Johanans Søn, Berekja, Mesjillemots Søn, Hizkija, Sjallums Søn, og Amasa, Hadlajs Søn, frem for de hjemvendte Krigere
13 and said to them, “You must not bring in the captives here, for you intend that which will bring on us a trespass against the LORD, to add to our sins and to our guilt; for our guilt is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.”
og sagde til dem: "I må ikke bringe Fangerne herhen! Thi I har i Sinde at øge vote Synder og vor Skyld ud over den Skyld, vi har over for HERREN; thi stor er vor Skyld, og glødende Vrede er over Israel!"
14 So the armed men left the captives and the plunder before the princes and all the assembly.
Da gav de væbnede Slip på Fangerne og Byttet i Øversternes og hele Forsamlingens Påsyn;
15 The men who have been mentioned by name rose up and took the captives, and with the plunder clothed all who were naked among them, dressed them, gave them sandals, gave them something to eat and to drink, anointed them, carried all the feeble of them on donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brothers. Then they returned to Samaria.
og de ovenfor nævnte Mænd stod op og tog sig af Fangerne, gav alle de nøgne iblandt dem Klæder af Byttet, forsynede dem med Klæder og Sko, gav dem Mad og Drikke, salvede dem, lod dem, der ikke kunde gå, ride på Æsler og bragte dem til Jeriko, Palmestaden, hen i Nærheden af deres Brødre; derpå vendte de tilbage til Samaria.
16 At that time King Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him.
På den Tid sendte Kong Akaz Assyrerkongen Bud om Hjælp.
17 For again the Edomites had come and struck Judah, and carried away captives.
Tilmed trængte Edomiterne ind og slog Judæerne og slæbte Krigsfanger bort.
18 The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland and of the South of Judah, and had taken Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and also Gimzo and its villages; and they lived there.
Og Filisterne faldt ind i Lavlandets Byer og den judæiske Del af Sydlandet og indtog Bet-Sjemesj, Ajjalon, Gederot, Soko med Småbyer, Timna med Småbyer og Gimzo med Småbyer og bosatte sig der.
19 For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel, because he acted without restraint in Judah and trespassed severely against the LORD.
Thi HERREN ydmygede Juda for Kong Akaz af Judas Skyld, fordi han havde ladet Tøjlesløshed opkomme i Juda og været troløs mod HERREN.
20 Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came to him and gave him trouble, but did not strengthen him.
Men Assyrerkongen Tillegat-Pilneser drog imod ham og bragte ham i Nød i Stedet for at hjælpe ham;
21 For Ahaz took away a portion out of the LORD’s house, and out of the house of the king and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria; but it did not help him.
thi Akaz plyndrede HERRENs Hus, og Kongens Palads og Øversternes Palads og gav det til Assyrerkongen, men det hjalp ham intet.
22 In the time of his distress, he trespassed yet more against the LORD, this same King Ahaz.
Og selv da Assyrerkongen bragte ham i Nød, var Kong Akaz på ny troløs mod HERREN;
23 For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus which had defeated him. He said, “Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me.” But they were the ruin of him and of all Israel.
han ofrede til Darmaskus's Guder, som havde slået ham, idet han sagde: "Aramæerkongernes Guder har jo hjulpet dem; til dem vil jeg ofre, at de også må hjælpe mig!" Men de blev ham og hele Israel til Fald.
24 Ahaz gathered together the vessels of God’s house, cut the vessels of God’s house in pieces, and shut up the doors of the LORD’s house; and he made himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
Også samlede Akaz Karrene i Guds Hus og slog dem i Stykker; og han lukkede HERRENs Hus's Porte og lavede sig Altre ved hvert et Hjørne i Jerusalem;
25 In every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked the LORD, the God of his fathers, to anger.
og i hver eneste By i Juda indrettede han Offerhøje for at tænde Offerild for fremmede Guder; således krænkede han HERREN, sine Fædres Gud.
26 Now the rest of his acts, and all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om ham og hele hans Færd fra først til sidst, står jo optegnet i Bogen om Judas og Israels Konger.
27 Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem, because they did not bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
Så lagde Akaz sig til Hvile bos sine Fædre, og man jordede ham i Jerusalem, inde i Byen, thi man vilde ikke jorde ham i Israels Kongegrave; og hans Søn Ezekias blev Konge i hans Sted.
