2 Kings 14

1 In the second year of Joas son of Joachaz, king of Israel, reigned Amasias son of Joas king of Juda.

I Israels Konge Joas's, Joahas's Søns, andet Aar blev Amazia, Joas's, Judas Konges Søn, Konge.

2 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and nine and twenty years he reigned in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Joadan of Jerusalem.

Han var fem og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede ni og tyve Aar i Jerusalem; og hans Moders Navn var Joadan fra Jerusalem.

3 And he did that which was right before the Lord, but yet not like David his father. He did according to all things that Joas his father did:

Og han gjorde ret for Herrens Øjne, dog ikke som David, hans Fader; han gjorde efter alt det, som Joas, hans Fader, gjorde.

4 But this only, that he took not away the high places: for yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

Dog bleve Højene ikke borttagne; Folket ofrede og gjorde Røgelse endnu paa Højene.

5 And when he had possession of the kingdom, he put his servants to death that had slain the king his father:

Og det skete, der Riget blev befæstet i hans Haand, da ihjelslog han sine Tjenere, som havde ihjelslaget Kongen, hans Fader.

6 But the children of the murderers he did not put to death, according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the Lord commanded, saying: The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: but every man shall die for his own sins.

Men Mordernes Børn dræbte han ikke, som skrevet er i Moses Lovbog, som Herren bød og sagde: Forældre skulle ikke dødes for Børnenes Skyld, og Børnene ikke dødes for Forældrenes Skyld, men hver skal dødes for sin Synds Skyld.

7 He slew of Edom in the valley of the Saltpits ten thousand men, and took the rock by war, and called the name thereof Jectehel, unto this day.

Han slog ti Tusinde af Edom i Saltdalen og indtog Sela i samme Krig og kaldte dens Navn Jokthel indtil denne Dag.

8 Then Amasias sent messengers to Joas son of Joachaz, son of Jehu king of Israel, saying: Come let us see one another.

Da sendte Amazia Bud til Joas, en Søn af Joahas, Jehus Søn, Kongen i Israel, og lod sige: Kom og lader os se hinandens Ansigt!

9 And Joas king of Israel sent again to Amasias king of Juda, saying: A thistle of Libanus sent to a cedar tree, which is in Libanus, saying: Give thy daughter to my son to wife. And the beasts of the forest, that are in Libanus, passed and trod down the thistle.

Men Joas, Israels Konge, sendte til Amazia, Judas Konge, og lod sige: Tornebusken, som er paa Libanon, sendte til Cedertræet, som er paa Libanon, og lod sige: Giv min Søn din Datter til Hustru; men vilde Dyr paa Marken, som vare paa Libanon, gik over og nedtraadte Tornebusken.

10 Thou hast beaten and prevailed over Edom, and thy heart hath lifted thee up: be content with the glory, and sit at home: why provokest thou evil, that thou shouldst fall, and Juda with thee?

Du har jo slaget Edom, og dit Hjerte gør dig hovmodig; behold din Ære, og bliv i dit Hus; hvi søger du Ulykke, at du skal falde, du og Juda med dig?

11 But Amasias did not rest satisfied. So Joas king of Israel went up, and he and Amasias king of Juda saw one another in Bethsames a town in Juda.

Men Amazia vilde ikke høre; saa drog Joas, Israels Konge, op, og de saa hinandens Ansigt, han og Amazia, Judas Konge, i Beth-Semes, som hører til Juda.

12 And Juda was put to the worst before Israel, and they fled every man to their dwellings.

Men Juda blev slagen for Israels Ansigt, og de flyede hver til sit Telt.

13 But Joas king of Israel took Amasias, king of Juda the son of Joas, the son of Ochozias, in Bethsames, and brought him into Jerusalem: and he broke down the wall of Jerusalem, from the gate of Ephraim to the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits.

Og Joas, Israels Konge, fangede Amazia, Judas Konge, en Søn af Joas, Ahasias Søn, i Beth-Semes; og han kom til Jerusalem og nedrev af Jerusalems Mur fra Efraims Port indtil Hjørneporten et Stykke paa fire Hundrede Alen.

14 And he took all the gold, and silver, and all the vessels, that were found in the house of the Lord, and in the king’s treasures, and hostages, and returned to Samaria.

Og han tog alt Guldet og Sølvet og alle Karrene, som fandtes i Herrens Hus og i Kongens Hus's Skatkamre, tilmed Børn som Gidsler, og vendte tilbage til Samaria.

15 But the rest of the acts of Joas, which he did, and his valour, wherewith he fought against Amasias king of Juda, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

Men det øvrige af Joas's Handeler, hvad han gjorde og hans Vælde, og hvorledes han stred imod Amazia, Judas Konge, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Israels Kongers Krønikers Bog?

16 And Joas slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria, with the kings of Israel: and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.

Og Joas laa med sine Fædre og blev begraven i Samaria hos Israels Konger, og hans Søn Jeroboam blev Konge i hans Sted.

17 And Amasias the son of Joas king of Juda lived, after the death of Joas son of Joachaz king of Israel fifteen years.

Og Amazia, Joas's Søn, Judas Konge, levede efter Joas's, Joahas's Søns, Israels Konges, Død femten Aar.

18 And the rest of the acts of Amasias, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?

Men det øvrige af Amazias Handeler, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog?

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

Og de indgik et Forbund imod ham i Jerusalem, og han flyede til Lakis; men de sendte efter ham til Lakis og dræbte ham der.

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

Og de førte ham paa Heste, og han blev begraven i Jerusalem hos sine Fædre i Davids Stad.

21 And all the people of Juda took Azarias, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amasias.

Og alt Judas Folk tog Asaria, men han var seksten Aar gammel, og de gjorde ham til Konge i hans Fader Amazias Sted.

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

Han byggede Elath og bragte den igen til Juda, efter at Kongen laa hos sine Fædre.

23 In the fifteenth year of Amasias son of Joas king of Juda, reigned Jeroboam the son of Joas king of Israel in Samaria, one and forty years:

I Amazias, Joas's Søns, Judas Konges, femtende Aar blev Jeroboam, en Søn af Israels Konge Joas, Konge i Samaria, et og fyrretyve Aar.

24 And he did that which was evil before the Lord. He departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin.

Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne; han veg ikke fra nogen af Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Synder, som han kom Israel til at synde med.

25 He restored the borders of Israel from the entrance of Emath, unto the sea of the wilderness, according to the word of the Lord the God of Israel, which he spoke by his servant Jonas the son of Amathi, the prophet, who was of Geth, which is in Opher.

Han indtog igen Israels Landemærke fra Hamath af indtil Havet ved den slette Mark efter Herren Israels Guds Ord, som han talte ved sin Tjener Jona, Amithajs Søn, den Profet, som var fra Gath-Hefer.

26 For the Lord saw the affliction of Israel that it was exceeding bitter, and that they were consumed even to them that were shut up in prison, and the lowest persons, and that there was no one to help Israel.

Thi Herren saa Israels Elendighed, som var saare bitter, ja at baade den bundne var intet, og den løsladte var intet, og at der var ingen Hjælper for Israel.

27 And the Lord did not say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joas.

Og Herren havde ikke sagt, at han vilde udslette Israels Navn under Himmelen; men han frelste dem ved Jeroboams, Joas's Søns, Haand.

28 But the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his velour, wherewith he fought, and how he restored Damascus, and Emath to Juda in Israel, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

Men det øvrige af Jeroboams Handeler og alt det, som han gjorde, og hans Vælde, hvorledes han stred, og at han bragte Damaskus og Hamath, som havde tilhørt Juda, tilbage til Israel, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Israels Kongers Krønikers Bog?

29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers the kings of Israel, and Zacharias his son reigned in his stead.

Og Jeroboam laa med sine Fædre, med Israels Konger, og hans Søn Sakaria blev Konge i hans Sted.
