2 Kings 14

1 In the second year of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, began to reign.

I Joahaz' Søns, Kong Joas af Israel, andet Regeringsår blev Amazja, Joas's Søn, Konge over Juda.

2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.

Han var fem og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede ni og tyve År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Jehoaddan og var fra Jerusalem.

3 He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, yet not like David his father. He did everything that Joash, his father, had done.

Han gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENs Øjne, om end ikke som hans Fader David; han handlede ganske som sin Fader Joas.

4 But the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense at the high places.

Hun forsvandt Offerhøjene ikke. men Folket blev ved med at ofre og tænde Offerild på Højene.

5 It came about that as soon as his rule was well established, he killed the servants who had murdered his father, the king.

Da han havde sikret sig Magten, lod han dem af sine Folk dræbe, der havde dræbt hans Fader Kongen;

6 Yet he did not put the sons of the murderers to death; instead, he acted according to what was written in the Book of the Law Moses, as Yahweh had commanded, saying, “The fathers must not be put to death for their children, neither must the children be put to death for their parents. Instead, every person must be put to death for his own sin.”

men Mordernes Børn lod han ikke ihjelslå, i Henhold til hvad der står skrevet i Moses's Lovbog, hvor HERREN byder: "Fædre skal ikke lide Døden for Børns Skyld, og Børn skal ikke lide Døden for Fædres Skyld. Men enhver skal lide Døden for sin egen Synd."

7 He killed ten thousand soldiers of Edom in the Valley of Salt; he also took Sela in war and called it Joktheel, which is what it is called to this day.

Det var ham, der slog Edom i Saltdalen, 10.000 Mand, og indtog Sela, og han kaldte det Jokte'el, som det hedder den Dag i Dag.

8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us meet each other face to face in battle.”

Ved den Tid sendte Amazja Sendebud til Jebus Søn Joahaz's Søn, Kong Joas af Israel, og lod sige: "Kom, lad os se hinanden under Øjne!"

9 But Jehoash the king of Israel sent messengers back to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “A thistle that was in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, 'Give your daughter to my son for a wife,' but a wild beast in Lebanon walked by and trampled down the thistle.

Men Kong Joas af Israel sendte Kong Amazja af Juda det Svar: "Tidselen på Libanon sendte engang det Bud til Cederen på Libanon: Giv min Søn din Datter til Ægte! Men Libanons vilde byr løb hen over Tidselen og trampede den ned.

10 You have indeed attacked Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Take pride in your victory, but stay at home, for why should you cause yourself trouble and fall, both you and Judah with you?”

Du har slået Edom, og det har gjort dig overmodig; lad dig nu nøje med den Ære og bliv, hvor du er! Hvorfor vil du udfordre Ulykken og udsætte både dig selv og Juda for Fald?"

11 But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel attacked and he and Amaziah king of Judah met each other face to face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.

Men Amazja vilde intet høre. Så drog Kong Joas af Israel ud, og han og Kong Amazja af Juda så hinanden under Øjne ved Bet Sjemesj i Juda;

12 Judah was defeated by Israel, and every man fled home.

Juda blev slået af Israel, og de flygtede hver til sit.

13 Jehoash king of Israel, captured Amaziah, king of Judah son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh. He came to Jerusalem and tore down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits in distance.

Men Kong Joas af Israel tog Ahazjas Søn Joas's Søn. Kong Amazja af Juda, til Fange ved BetSjemesj og førte ham til Jerusalem. Derpå nedrev han Jerusalems Mur på en Strækning af 400 Alen, fra Efraimsporten til Hjørneporten;

14 He took all the gold and silver, all the objects that were found in the house of Yahweh, and the valuable things in the king's palace, with hostages also, and returned to Samaria.

og han tog alt det Guld og Sølv og alle de Kar, der fandtes i HERRENs Hus og i Skatkammeret i Kongens Palads; desuden tog han Gidsler og vendte så tilbage til Samaria.

15 As for the other matters concerning Jehoash, all that he did, his power, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?

Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Joas, alt, hvad han udførte, og alle hans Heltegerninger, og hvorledes han førte Krig med Kong Amazja af Juda, står jo optegoet i Israels Kongers Krønike.

16 Then Jehoash slept with his ancestors and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel, and Jeroboam, his son, became king in his place.

Så lagde Joas sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i Samaria hos Israels Konger; og hans Søn Jeroboam blev Konge i hans Sted.

17 Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, lived fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.

Joas's Søn, Kong Amazja af Juda, levede endnu femten År, efter at Joahaz's Søn, Kong Joas af Israel, var død.

18 As for the other matters concerning Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?

Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Amazja, står jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.

19 They made a conspiracy against Amaziah in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. He fled to Lachish, but they sent men after him to Lachish and killed him there.

Da der stiftedes en Sammensværgelse mod ham i Jerusalem, flygtede han til Lakisj; men der blev sendt Folk efter ham til Lakisj, og de dræbte ham der.

20 They brought him back on horses, and he was buried with his ancestors in the city of David.

Så løftede man ham op på Heste, og han blev jordet i Jerusalem hos sine Fædre i Davidsbyen.

21 All the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.

Hele Folket i Juda tog så Azarja, der dengang var seksten År gammel, og gjorde ham til Konge i hans Fader Amazjas Sted.

22 It was Azariah who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah, after King Amaziah slept with his ancestors.

Det var ham, der befæstede Elat og atter forenede det med Juda, efter at Kongen havde lagt sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre.

23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam son of Jehoash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria; he reigned forty-one years.

I Joas's Søns, Kong Amazja af Judas, femtende Regeringsår ble Jeroboam, Joas's Søn, Konge over Israel, og han herskede een og fyrretyve År i Samaria.

24 He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh. He did not depart from any of the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin.

Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, og veg ikke fra nogen af de Synder, Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, havde forledt Israel til.

25 He restored the border of Israel from Lebo Hamath to the Sea of the Arabah, following the commands of the word of Yahweh, the God of Israel, which he had spoken through his servant Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet, who was from Gath Hepher.

Han tog Israels Landområde tilbage fra Egnen hen imod Hamat og til Arabasøen, efter det Ord, HERREN, Israels Gud, havde talet ved sin Tjener, Profeten Jonas, Amittajs Søn, fra Gat-Hefer.

26 For Yahweh saw the suffering of Israel, that it was very bitter for everyone, both slave and free, and that there was no rescuer for Israel.

Thi HERREN havde set Israels bitre Kvide, hvorledes de reves bort alle som een, fordi Israel ikke havde nogen Hjælper;

27 So Yahweh said that he would not blot out the name of Israel under heaven; instead, he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash.

og HERREN havde ikke talet om, at han vilde udslette Israels Navn under Himmelen, derfor frelste han dem ved Jeroboam, Joas's Søn.

28 As for the other matters concerning Jeroboam, all that he did, his power, how he waged war and recovered Damascus and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?

Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jeroboam, alt, hvad han udførte, og hans Heltegerninger, hvorledes han førte Krig, og hvorledes han tog Damaskus og Hamat til bage til Israel, står jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.

29 Jeroboam slept with his ancestors, with the kings of Israel, and Zechariah his son became king in his place.

Så lagde Jeroboam sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i Samaria hos Israels Konger; og hans Søn Zekarja blev Konge i hans Sted.
