Anden Kongebog 21 |
| 1992 | King James Version |
| 1 Manasse var tolv år, da han blev konge, og han regerede femoghalvtreds år i Jerusalem. Hans mor hed Hefsiba. | 1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzibah. |
| 2 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i Herrens øjne efter de afskyelige skikke hos de folkeslag, som Herren havde drevet bort foran israelitterne. | 2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel. |
| 3 Han genopbyggede de offerhøje, som hans far Hizkija havde ødelagt; han rejste altre for Ba'al, og han lavede en Ashera?pæl, sådan som Israels konge Akab havde gjort, og han tilbad hele himlens hær og dyrkede den. | 3 For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them. |
| 4 Han byggede altre i Herrens tempel, om hvilket Herren havde sagt: "På Jerusalem vil jeg sætte mit navn." | 4 And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said, In Jerusalem will I put my name. |
| 5 Og i de to forgårde til Herrens tempel byggede han altre for hele himlens hær. | 5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD. |
| 6 Han lod sin søn gå gennem ilden, han drev trolddom, tog varsler og ansatte døde manere og sandsigere; han gjorde meget, der var ondt i Herrens øjne, så han krænkede ham. | 6 And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. |
| 7 Og han opstillede Ashera?billedet, han havde lavet, i det tempel, om hvilket Herren havde sagt til David og til hans søn Salomo: "På dette tempel og på Jerusalem, som jeg har udvalgt blandt alle Israels stammer, vil jeg sætte mit navn til evig tid; | 7 And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house, of which the LORD said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever: |
| 8 og jeg vil ikke mere jage Israel bort fra det land, som jeg gav deres fædre, når de blot omhyggeligt vil gøre alt det, jeg har befalet dem, og holde hele loven, som min tjener Moses gav dem." | 8 Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them. |
| 9 Men de ville ikke høre, og Manasse forledte dem til at handle værre end de folkeslag, som Herren havde udryddet foran israelitterne. | 9 But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel. |
| 10 Og Herren talte ved sine tjenere, profeterne, og sagde: | 10 And the LORD spake by his servants the prophets, saying, |
| 11 "Når Judas konge Manasse har begået disse afskyelige handlinger, har han overgået amoritterne før ham i alt, hvad de gjorde, og har ved sine møgguder forledt også Juda til synd. | 11 Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, which were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols: |
| 12 Derfor siger Herren, Israels Gud: Jeg bringer en ulykke over Jerusalem og Juda, som skal få det til at runge i ørerne på alle, der hører om det. | 12 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle. |
| 13 Jeg vil måle Jerusalem med målesnoren over Samaria og lodlinen i Akabs slægt, og jeg vil skylle Jerusalem ren, som man skyller en skål og vender bunden i vejret på den. | 13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down. |
| 14 Jeg forkaster den sidste rest af mit ejendomsfolk og giver dem i deres fjenders hånd. De bliver gjort til bytte og udplyndres af alle deres fjender, | 14 And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies; |
| 15 fordi de har gjort, hvad der er ondt i mine øjne. De har krænket mig, fra den dag deres fædre drogud af Egypten til i dag." | 15 Because they have done that which was evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day. |
| 16 Ud over den synd, han forledte Juda til, så de gjorde, hvad der var ondt i Herrens øjne, udgød Manasse så meget uskyldigt blod, at Jerusalem blev fyldt til randen af det. | 16 Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD. |
| 17 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Manasse, alt hvad han gjorde, og de synder, han begik, står jo i Judas Kongers Krønike. | 17 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? |
| 18 Manasse lagde sig til hvile hos sine fædre og blev begravet i haven ved sit palads, i Uzzas have, og hans søn Amon blev konge efter ham. | 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. |
| 19 Amon var toogtyve år, da han blev konge, og han regerede to år i Jerusalem. Hans mor hed Meshullemet og var en datter af Harus fra Jotba. | 19 Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. |
| 20 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i Herrens øjne, sådan som hans far Manasse havde gjort. | 20 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh did. |
| 21 Han fulgte helt i sin fars spor og dyrkede og tilbad de møgguder, hans far havde dyrket. | 21 And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them: |
| 22 Han svigtede Herren, sine fædres Gud, og vandrede ikke ad hans vej. | 22 And he forsook the LORD God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the LORD. |
| 23 Amons folk dannede en sammensværgelse mod ham og dræbte kongen i hans palads. | 23 And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house. |
| 24 Men storbønderne dræbte alle dem, der havde sammensvoret sig mod kong Amon, og de gjorde hans søn Josija til konge efter ham. | 24 And the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead. |
| 25 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Amon, hvad han gjorde, står jo i Judas Kongers Krønike. | 25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? |
| 26 Man begravede ham i hans grav i Uzzas have, og hans søn Josija blev konge efter ham. | 26 And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead. |
