Anden Kongebog 17 |
| 1992 | King James Version |
| 1 Hosea af Israel og Israels undergang I Judas konge Akaz' tolvte regeringsår blev Hosea, Elas søn, konge over Israel i Samaria, og han regerede ni år. | 1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years. |
| 2 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i Herrens øjne, dog ikke som de konger i Israel, der havde været før ham. | 2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him. |
| 3 Assyrerkongen Salmaneser gik til angreb på ham, og Hosea blev hans vasal og betalte ham tribut. | 3 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents. |
| 4 Men assyrerkongen opdagede, at Hosea var med i en sammensværgelse; han havde nemlig sendt bud til egypterkongen So, og han havde undladt at betale den årlige tribut til assyrerkongen. Så lod assyrerkongen ham gribe og kaste i fængsel. | 4 And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison. |
| 5 Assyrerkongen rykkede ind i hele landet. Han drog op mod Samaria og belejrede den i tre år. | 5 Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years. |
| 6 I Hoseas niende regeringsår indtog assyrerkongen Samaria, førte Israel i eksil til Assyrien og bosatte dem i Hala og ved Gozans flod Habor og i Mediens byer. | 6 In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. |
| 7 Det skete, fordi israelitterne havde syndet mod Herren deres Gud, der havde ført dem op fra Egypten og befriet dem fra egypterkongen Faraos magt. De frygtede andre guder, | 7 For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods, |
| 8 og de fulgte sæd og skik hos de folk, som Herren havde drevet bort foran israelitterne; sådan havde Israels konger gjort. | 8 And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made. |
| 9 Israelitterne fandt på skændige ting imod Herren deres Gud. De byggede sig offerhøje i alle deres byer, lige fra vagttårn til befæstet by. | 9 And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city. |
| 10 De rejste stenstøtter og Ashera?pæle på alle høje bakker og under alle grønne træer. | 10 And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree: |
| 11 De tændte offerild der på alle højene ligesom de folk, Herren havde ført bort foran dem, og de gjorde onde ting, så de krænkede Herren. | 11 And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger: |
| 12 De dyrkede møgguderne, skønt Herren havde sagt til dem: "Det må Iikke gøre!" | 12 For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing. |
| 13 Herren havde advaret Israel og Juda ved alle profeter og seere: Vend om fra jeres onde veje, hold mine love og mine bud efter hele den lov, som jeg pålagde jeres fædre, og som jeg har sendt til jer ved mine tjenere, profeterne." | 13 Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets. |
| 14 Men de ville ikke høre. De gjorde nakken stiv som deres fædre, der ikke stolede på Herren deres Gud, | 14 Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God. |
| 15 og de lod hånt om hans love og den pagt, som han havde sluttet med deres fædre, og om de formaninger, han havde givet dem. De fulgte de tomme guder og endte i tomhed, og de fulgte de folk rundt om dem, som Herren havde forbudt dem at efterligne. | 15 And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them. |
| 16 De svigtede alle Herren deres Guds befalinger. De støbte sig gudebilleder, to tyrekalve, og de lavede en Ashera?pæl, de tilbad hele himlens hær, og de dyrkede Ba'al. | 16 And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal. |
| 17 De lod deres sønner og døtre gå gennem ilden, drev spådomskunst, tog varsler og solgte sig selv til at gøre, hvad der var ondt i Herrens øjne, så de krænkede ham. | 17 And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. |
| 18 Derfor blev Herren meget vred på Israel og fjernede dem fra sine øjne. | 18 Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only. |
| 19 Kun Judas stamme blev tilbage. Men heller ikke Juda holdt Herren deres Guds befalinger, men fulgte den sæd og skik, som Israel havde brugt. | 19 Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made. |
| 20 Derfor forkastede Herren hele Israels slægt, ydmygede dem og overgav dem til folk, som udplyndrede dem, indtil han forstødte dem fra sit ansigt. | 20 And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight. |
| 21 For da Israel havde revet sig løs fra Davids hus og havde gjort Jeroboam, Nebats søn, til konge, trak Jeroboam Israel bort fra Herren og forledte dem til stor synd. | 21 For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin. |
| 22 Og israelitterne fulgte alle de synder, som Jeroboam havde begået; de veg ikke fra dem, | 22 For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them; |
| 23 indtil Herren fjernede Israel fra sine øjne, sådan som han havde forudsagt ved alle sine tjenere, profeterne, så Israel blev ført ieksil bort fra sit land til Assyrien, hvor de er den dag i dag. | 23 Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day. |
| 24 Senere bragte assyrerkongen folk fra Babylon, Kuta, Avva, Hamat og Sefarvajim og bosatte dem i Samarias byer i stedet for israelitterne. De tog Samaria i besiddelse og bosatte sig i dets byer. | 24 And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, 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. |
| 25 I den første tid de boede der, frygtede de ikke Herren. Men så sendte Herren løver blandt dem, som dræbte nogle af dem. | 25 And so it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the LORD: therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which slew some of them. |
| 26 Derfor sagde de til assyrerkongen: "De folk, du har flyttet væk og bosat i Samarias byer, ved ikke, hvordan landets Gud skal dyrkes. Nu har han sendt løver blandt dem, og de dræber dem. Det er, fordi de ikke ved, hvordan landets Gud skal dyrkes." | 26 Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land. |
| 27 Da befalede assyrerkongen: "Få en af de præster, som I førte bort derfra, til at rejse hen og bosætte sig der, så han kan lære dem, hvordan landets Gud skal dyrkes." | 27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land. |
| 28 En af de præster, de havde ført bort fra Samaria, kom og bosatte sig i Betel. Han lærte dem, hvordan de skulle frygte Herren. | 28 Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD. |
| 29 De forskellige folk lavede hver sin gud, som de stillede op i de offerhøjstempler, samaritanerne havde opført, hvert folk i den by, hvor de boede. | 29 Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt. |
| 30 Folkene fra Babylon lavede Sukkot?Benot, folkene fra Kuta lavede Nergal, og folkene fra Hamat lavede Ashima. | 30 And the men of Babylon made Succothbenoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima, |
| 31 Avvijitterne lavede Nibhaz og Tartak, og sefarvitterne brændte deres børn for Adrammelek og Anammelek, Sefarvajims guder. | 31 And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim. |
| 32 De frygtede Herren, men de gjorde nogle af deres egne til offerhøjspræster, der skulle forrette tjeneste for dem i offerhøjstemplerne. | 32 So they feared the LORD, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places. |
| 33 Nok frygtede de Herren, men de dyrkede deres egne guder, på samme måde som de folk, hvorfra de var blevet flyttet væk. | 33 They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence. |
| 34 Den dag i dag følger de de gamle skikke. De frygter ikke Herren, og de følger ikke de love og retsregler, den lov og befaling, som Herren gav Jakobs sønner; det var ham, han gav navnet Israel. | 34 Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel; |
| 35 Herren havde sluttet en pagt med dem og havde befalet: "I må ikke frygte andre guder, ikke tilbede dem, ikke dyrke dem og ikke ofre til dem. | 35 With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them: |
| 36 Nej, Herren, som med stor styrke og løftet arm førte jer op fra Egypten, ham skal I frygte, ham skal I tilbede, og ham skal I ofre til. | 36 But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice. |
| 37 De love og retsregler, den lov og befaling, som han skrev ned til jer, skal I altid omhyggeligt følge. I må ikke frygte andre guder. | 37 And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods. |
| 38 Og den pagt, jeg sluttede med jer, må I ikke glemme. I må ikke frygte andre guder. | 38 And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods. |
| 39 Kun Herren jeres Gud må I frygte. Det er ham, der skal befri jer fra alle jeres fjender." | 39 But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies. |
| 40 Men de ville ikke høre; derimod fulgte de deresgamle skik. | 40 Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner. |
| 41 Disse folk frygtede Herren, men de dyrkede deres gudebilleder, og deres børn og børnebørn gør den dag i dag sådan, som deres fædre gjorde. | 41 So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day. |
