2 Kings 21

1 Twelve years old, was Manasseh when he began to reign, and, fifty-five years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and the name of his mother was Hephzibah.

Manasse var tolv Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede fem og halvtredsindstyve Aar i Jerusalem, og hans Moders Navn var Hefziba.

2 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —after the abominable practices of the nations, whom Yahweh had dispossessed from before the sons of Israel.

Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, efter de Hedningers Vederstyggeligheder, hvilke Herren havde fordrevet fra Israels Børns Ansigt.

3 He again built the high places, which Hezekiah his father had destroyed, —and reared altars to Baal, and made a Sacred Stem, as did Ahab, king of Israel, and bowed down to all the army of the heavens, and served them.

Og han byggede igen de Høje, som Ezekias, hans Fader, havde ødelagt, og oprejste Altre for Baal og gjorde et Astartebillede, ligesom Akab, Israels Konge, havde gjort, og tilbad al Himmelens Hær og tjente dem.

4 And he used to build altars in the house of Yahweh, —concerning which Yahweh had said, —In Jerusalem, will I put my Name.

Og han byggede Altre i Herrens Hus, om hvilket Herren havde sagt: Jeg vil sætte mit Navn i Jerusalem.

5 And he built altars to all the army of the heavens, —in the two courts of the house of Yahweh;

Og han byggede Altre til Himmelens hele Hær i begge Forgaardene til Herrens Hus.

6 and caused his son to pass through the fire, and practised hidden arts and used divination, and dealt with a familiar spirit and wizards, —he exceeded in doing the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, provoking [him] to anger;

Og han lod sin Søn gaa igennem Ilden og var en Dagvælger og agtede paa Fugleskrig og beskikkede Spaamænd og Tegnsudlæggere; han gjorde meget ondt for Herrens Øjne til at opirre ham.

7 and he set the image of the Sacred Stem which he had made, —in the house, of which Yahweh had said unto David, and unto Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my Name, unto times age-abiding;

Og han satte det Astartebillede, som han havde gjort, i det Hus, om hvilket Herren havde sagt til David og til hans Søn Salomo: I dette Hus og i Jerusalem, som jeg udvalgte af alle Israels Stammer, vil jeg sætte mit Navn evindeligt;

8 and I will not again let the foot of Israel wander away from the soil which I gave unto their fathers. Only if they take heed to do according to all that I have commanded them, even to the extent of all the law which, my servant Moses, commanded them.

og jeg vil ikke ydermere lade Israels Fødder vandre bort fra Landet, som jeg gav deres Fædre, naar de kun holde ved at gøre efter alt det, som jeg har budet dem, og efter hele Loven, som Mose, min Tjener, bød dem.

9 But they hearkened not, —and Manasseh led them astray to do the thing that was wicked, more than the nations which Yahweh destroyed from before the sons of Israel.

Men de adløde ikke; og Manasse forførte dem til at handle værre end Hedningerne, hvilke Herren havde ødelagt for Israels Børns Ansigt.

10 Yahweh therefore spake through his servants the prophets saying—

Da talte Herren ved sine Tjenere, Profeterne, og sagde:

11 Because Manasseh king of Judah hath made these abominations—hath done that which is wicked, more than all which the Amorites did who were before him, and hath caused, even Judah, to sin with his manufactured gods,

Fordi Manasse, Judas Konge, har gjort disse Vederstyggeligheder, saa han har gjort noget værre end alt det, som Amoriterne gjorde, som vare for ham, og fordi han kom ogsaa Juda til at synde med sine stygge Afguder:

12 therefore—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, Behold me! bringing in calamity upon Jerusalem and Judah, —that, whosoever heareth thereof, both his ears, will tingle;

Derfor saa sagde Herren Israels Gud: Se, jeg vil føre Ulykke over Jerusalem og Juda, at hvo det hører, for ham skulle begge hans Øren klinge.

13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem, the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab, —and will wipe out Jerusalem, as one wipeth out a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down;

Og jeg vil udstrække Samarias Maalesnor over Jerusalem, samt veje den med Akabs Hus's Vægt, og jeg vil afviske Jerusalem, som den, der afvisker et Fad, afvisker og vender det helt om.

14 And will abandon the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies, —and they shall become a prey and a plunder, to all their enemies:

Og jeg vil bortstøde det overblevne af min Arv og give dem i deres Fjenders Haand, saa at de skulle blive til Bytte og til Rov for alle deres Fjender,

15 Because they have done the thing that is wicked in mine eyes, and have become such as to provoke me to anger, —from the day when their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even until this day.

fordi de gjorde det, som er ondt for mine Øjne, og opirrede mig fra den Dag, da deres Fædre droge ud af Ægypten, og indtil denne Dag.

16 Moreover also, innocent blood, did Manasseh shed in great abundance, till he had filled Jerusalem, from one end to the other, besides his committing the sins which he caused, Judah, to commit, in doing the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh.

Tilmed udøste Manasse ogsaa saare meget uskyldigt Blod, indtil han fyldte Jerusalem fra den ene Ende til den anden; foruden hans Synd, med hvilken han kom Juda til at synde, til at gøre det onde for Herrens Øjne.

17 Now, the rest of the story of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he committed, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

Men det øvrige af Manasses Handeler og alt det, han har gjort, og hans Synd, som han syndede, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog?

18 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza, —and, Amon his son, reigned, in his stead.

Og Manasse laa med sine Fædre og blev begraven i sit Hus's Have, som var i Ussas Have, og Amon, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.

19 Twenty-two years old, was Amon when he began to reign, and, two years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz, of Jotbah.

Amon var to og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede to Aar i Jerusalem; og hans Moders Navn var Mesullemeth, Haruz's Datter fra Jotba.

20 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —as did Manasseh his father;

Og han gjorde det onde for Herrens Øjne, ligesom Manasse, Hans Fader, havde gjort.

21 yea he walked in all the way wherein, his father, had walked, —and served the manufactured gods that, his father, had served, and bowed down to them;

Og han vandrede i al den Vej, som hans Fader havde vandret, og tjente de stygge Afguder, som hans Fader havde tjent, og tilbad dem.

22 and forsook Yahweh the God of his fathers, —and walked not in the way of Yahweh.

Og han forlod Herren, sine Fædres Gud, og vandrede ikke i Herrens Vej.

23 And the servants of Amon, conspired against him, —and slew the king in his own house.

Og Amons Tjenere forbandt sig imod ham, og de dræbte Kongen i hans Hus.

24 Then the people of the land smote all who had conspired against King Amon, —and the people of the land made, Josiah his son, king, in his stead.

Og Folket i Landet ihjelslog alle dem, som havde forbundet sig imod Kong Amon; og Folket i Landet gjorde Josias, hans Søn, til Konge i hans Sted.

25 Now, the rest of the story of Amon, what he did, is, it, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

Men det øvrige af Amons Handeler, hvad han har gjort, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog?

26 And he was buried in his grave, in the garden of Uzza, —and, Josiah his son, reigned, in his stead.

Og man begrov ham i hans Grav, udi Ussas Have, og Josias, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.
