2 Kings 17
1 In the twelfth year of Achaz king of Juda, Osee the son of Ela reigned in Samaria over Israel nine years.
Idet tolvte Akas's, Judas Konges, Aar blev Hosea, Elas Søn, Konge i Samaria over Israel i ni Aar.
2 And he did evil before the Lord: but not as the kings of Israel that had been before him.
Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, dog ikke som Israels Konger, som vare før ham.
3 Against him came up Salmanasar king of the Assyrians, and Osee became his servant, and paid him tribute.
Salmanasser, Kongen af Assyrien, drog op imod ham; og Hosea blev hans Tjener og gav ham Skænk.
4 And when the king of the Assyrians found that Osee endeavouring to rebel had sent messengers to Sua the king of Egypt, that he might not pay tribute to the king of the Assyrians, as he had done every year, he besieged him, bound him, and cast him into prison,
Men Kongen af Assyrien saa et Forbund deri, at Hosea havde sendt Bud til So, Kongen af Ægypten, og ikke bragt Skat til Kongen af Assyrien Aar for Aar; da satte Kongen af Assyrien ham fast og lagde ham bunden i et Fængsel.
5 And he went through all the land: and going up to Samaria, he besieged it three years.
Thi Kongen af Assyrien drog op i det ganske Land og drog op til Samaria og belejrede den i tre Aar.
6 And in the ninth year of Osee, the king of the Assyrians took Samaria, and carried Israel away to Assyria: and he placed them in Hala and Habor by the river of Gozan, in the cities of the Medes.
I Hoseas niende Aar indtog Kongen af Assyrien Samaria og førte Israel bort til Assyrien; og han lod dem bo i Hala og i Habor ved Floden Gosan og i Medernes Stæder.
7 For so it was that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharao king of Egypt, and they worshipped strange gods.
Og det skete, fordi Israels Børn havde syndet imod Herren deres Gud, som havde ført dem op af Ægyptens Land, fra at være under Faraos, Kongen af Ægyptens, Magt, og fordi de frygtede andre Guder;
8 And they walked according to the way of the nations which the Lord had destroyed in the sight of the children of Israel and of the kings of Israel: because they had done in like manner.
og de vandrede i de Hedningers Skikke, hvilke Herren havde fordrevet for Israels Børns Ansigt, og i dem, som Israels Konger havde indført;
9 And the children of Israel offended the Lord their God with things that were not right: and built them high places in all their cities from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
og Israels Børn skjulte Ting, som ikke var ret for Herren deres Gud og byggede sig Høje i alle Stæder, fra Vogternes Taarn indtil hver fast Stad;
10 And they made them statues and groves on every high hill, and under every shady tree:
og de oprejste sig Støtter og Astartebilleder paa hver ophøjet Høj og under hvert grønt Træ;
11 And they burnt incense there upon altars after the manner of the nations which the Lord had removed from their face: and they did wicked things, provoking the Lord.
og de gjorde Røgelse der paa alle Højene ligesom Hedningerne, hvilke Herren havde bortført fra deres Ansigt, og de gjorde onde Ting til at opirre Herren;
12 And they worshipped abominations, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do this thing.
og de tjente de stygge Afguder, om hvilke Herren havde sagt til dem: I skulle ikke gøre denne Ting;
13 And the Lord testified to them in Israel and in Juda by the hand of all the prophets and seers, saying: Return from your wicked ways, and keep my precepts, and ceremonies, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers: and as I have sent to you in the hand of my servants the prophets.
og Herren lod vidne i Israel og i Juda ved alle sine Profeter, alle Seere, sigende: Vender om fra eders onde Veje og holder mine Bud, mine Skikke, efter den hele Lov, som jeg bød eders Fædre, og efter det, som jeg sendte til eder om ved mine Tjenere, Profeterne;
14 And they hearkened not, but hardened their necks like to the neck of their fathers, who would not obey the Lord their God.
men de havde ikke været lydige, men de forhærdede deres Nakke, ligesom deres Fædres Nakke, de, som ikke troede paa Herren deres Gud;
15 And they rejected his ordinances and the covenant that he made with their fathers, and the testimonies which he testified against them: and they followed vanities, and acted vainly: and they followed the nations that were round about them, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do as they did.
tilmed forkastede de hans Skikke og hans Pagt, som han havde gjort med deres Fædre, og hans Vidnesbyrd, som han havde vidnet for dem, og de vandrede efter Forfængelighed og bleve forfængelige, og efter Hedningerne, der vare trindt omkring dem, om hvilke Herren havde budet dem, at de ikke skulde gøre som de;
16 And they forsook all the precepts of the Lord their God: and made to themselves two molten calves, and groves, and adored all the host of heaven: and they served Baal.
ja de forlode alle Herren deres Guds Bud og gjorde sig støbte Billeder, to Kalve, og de gjorde Astartebilleder og tilbade al Himmelens Hær og tjente Baal;
17 And consecrated their sons, and their daughters through fire: and they gave themselves to divinations, and soothsayings: and they delivered themselves up to do evil before the Lord, to provoke him.
og de lode deres Sønner og deres Døtre gaa igennem Ilden og omgikkes med Spaadom og agtede paa Fugleskrig og solgte sig til at gøre det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, for at opirre ham: —
18 And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them from his sight, and there remained only the tribe of Juda.
derfor blev Herren saare vred paa Israel og bortdrev dem fra sit Ansigt; der blev ingen tilovers uden Judas Stamme alene.
19 But neither did Juda itself keep the commandments of the Lord their God: but they walked in the errors of Israel, which they had wrought.
Heller ikke Juda holdt Herrens, deres Guds, Bud; men de vandrede efter Israels Skikke, som de havde indført.
20 And the Lord cast off all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, till he cast them away from his face:
Saa forkastede Herren al Israels Sæd og plagede dem og gav dem i Røveres Hænder, indtil han havde bortstødt dem fra sit Ansigt.
21 Even from that time, when Israel was rent from the house of David, and made Jeroboam son of Nabat their king: for Jeroboam separated Israel from the Lord, and made them commit a great sin.
Thi Israel havde revet sig løs fra Davids Hus, og de gjorde Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, til Konge; og Jeroboam drog Israel bort fra Herren og kom dem til at synde en stor Synd.
22 And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam, which he had done: and they departed not from them,
Og Israels Børn vandrede i alle Jeroboams Synder, som han gjorde; de vege ikke derfra,
23 Till the Lord removed Israel from his face, as he had spoken in the hand of all his servants the prophets: and Israel was carried away out of their land to Assyria, unto this day.
indtil Herren bortdrev Israel fra sit Ansigt, saaledes som han havde sagt ved alle sine Tjenere, Profeterne; saa blev Israel bortført fra sit Land til Assyrien indtil denne Dag.
24 And the king of the Assyrians brought people from Babylon, and from Cutha, and from Avah, and from Emath, and from Sepharvaim: and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
Og Kongen af Assyrien lod komme Folk af Babel og af Kut og af Ava og af Hamath og Sefarvajm og lod dem bo i Samarias Stæder, i Israels Børns Sted, og de indtoge Samaria til Ejendom og boede i dens Stæder.
25 And when they began to dwell there, they feared not the Lord: and the Lord sent lions among them, which killed them.
Og det skete, der de begyndte at bo der, at de ikke frygtede Herren; da sendte Herren Løver iblandt dem, og disse sønderreve nogle af dem.
26 And it was told the king of the Assyrians, and it was said: The nations which thou hast removed, and made to dwell in the cities of Samaria, know not the ordinances of the God of the land: and the Lord hath sent lions among them: and behold they kill them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
Derfor sagde de til Kongen af Assyrien: De Hedninger, som du lod forflytte og bo i Samarias Stæder, kende ikke, hvad der er ret imod Landets Gud; derfor sendte han Løver iblandt dem, og se, disse sønderreve dem, fordi de ikke kende, hvad der er ret imod Landets Gud.
27 And the king of the Assyrians commanded, saying: Carry thither one of the priests whom you brought from thence captive, and let him go, and dwell with them: and let him teach them the ordinances of the God of the land.
Da bød Kongen af Assyrien og sagde: Fører en af de Præster derhen, som I bortførte derfra, og lader ham drage hen og bo der, at han kan lære dem, hvad der er ret imod Landets Gud.
28 So one of the priests who had been carried away captive from Samaria, came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should worship the Lord.
Saa kom en af Præsterne, som de havde bortført fra Samaria, og boede i Bethel og lærte dem, hvorledes de skulde frygte Herren.
29 And every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the temples of the high places, which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities where they dwelt.
Men hvert Folk gjorde sig sin Gud, og de satte dem i Husene paa de Høje, som Samaritanerne gjorde, hvert Folk i sine Stæder, hvori de boede.
30 For the men of Babylon made Sochothbenoth: and the Cuthites made Nergel: and the men of Emath made Asima.
Thi de Mænd af Babel havde gjort Sukoth-Benoth, og de Mænd af Kut havde gjort Nergal, og de Mænd af Hamath havde gjort Asima,
31 And the Hevites made Nebahaz and Tharthac. And they that were of Sepharvaim burnt their children in fire, to Adramelech and Anamelech the gods of Sepharvaim.
og de al Ava havde gjort Nibhas og Tharthak, og de af Sefarvajm opbrændte deres Sønner i Ilden for Adramelek og Anamelek, Sefarvajms Guder.
32 And nevertheless they worshipped the Lord. And they made to themselves, of the lowest of the people, priests of the high places, and they placed them in the temples of the high places.
De frygtede ogsaa Herren og gjorde sig i Flæng Præster paa Højene og gjorde Offer for dem i Husene paa Højene.
33 And when they worshipped the Lord, they served also their own gods according to the custom of the nations out of which they were brought to Samaria:
De frygtede Herren, og de tjente deres Guder efter de Hedningers Vis, som de vare bortførte fra.
34 Unto this day they followed the old manner: they fear not the Lord, neither do they keep his ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and the commandment, which the Lord commanded the children of Jacob, whom he surnamed Israel:
De gøre efter den første Vis, indtil denne Dag; de frygte ikke Herren, ej heller gøre de efter deres Skikke og efter deres Befalinger og efter Loven og efter Budet, som Herren bød Jakobs Børn, hvis Navn han kaldte Israel;
35 With whom he made a covenant, and charged them, saying: You shall not fear strange gods, nor shall you adore them, nor worship them, nor sacrifice to them.
og Herren gjorde en Pagt med dem og bød dem, sigende: I skulle ikke frygte andre Guder og ikke tilbede dem og ikke tjene dem og ikke ofre til dem.
36 But the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power, and a stretched out arm, him shall you fear, and him shall you adore, and to him shall you sacrifice.
Men Herren, som førte eder op af Ægyptens Land med stor Kraft og med en udrakt Arm, ham skulle I frygte, og ham skulle I tilbede og ofre til.
37 And the ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do them always: and you shall not fear strange gods.
Og I skulle holde de Skikke og Befalinger og Loven og Budet, som han lod skrive for eder, at gøre derefter alle Dage; men I skulle ikke frygte andre Guder.
38 And the covenant that he made with you, you shall not forget: neither shall ye worship strange gods,
Og I skulle ikke forglemme den Pagt, som jeg gjorde med eder, og ikke frygte andre Guder.
39 But fear the Lord your God, and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
Men I skulle frygte Herren eders Gud, og han skal fri eder fra alle eders Fjenders Haand.
40 But they did not hearken, but did according to their old custom.
Dog, de hørte ikke; men de gjorde efter deres første Vis.
41 So these nations feared the Lord, but nevertheless served also their idols: their children also and grandchildren, as their fathers did, so do they unto this day.
Saa frygtede disse Hedninger Herren og tjente deres Billeder; ogsaa deres Børn og deres Børnebørn, efter som deres Fædre gjorde, saa gøre de indtil denne Dag.
