Anden Kongebog 22 |
| 1992 | King James Version |
| 1 Josija var otte år, da han blev konge, og han regerede enogtredive år i Jerusalem. Hans mor hed Jedida og var datter af Adaja fra Boskat. | 1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath. |
| 2 Han gjorde, hvad der var ret i Herrens øjne; han fulgte helt i sin fader Davids spor og veg ikke til højre eller til venstre. | 2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left. |
| 3 I kong Josijas attende regeringsår sendte kongen statsskriveren Shafan, Asaljas søn, Meshullams sønnesøn, til Herrens tempel; han sagde til ham: | 3 And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the LORD, saying, |
| 4 "Gå op til ypperstepræsten Hilkija og sig, at han skal tælle de penge op, der er blevet bragt til Herrens tempel, dem dørvogterne har samlet ind hos folket. | 4 Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the silver which is brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the door have gathered of the people: |
| 5 Dem skal de give til dem, der forestår arbejdet og fører tilsyn med Herrens tempel; de skal give dem videre til dem, der arbejder på at udbedre skaderne i Herrens tempel, | 5 And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD: and let them give it to the doers of the work which is in the house of the LORD, to repair the breaches of the house, |
| 6 tømrermestrene, bygmestrene og murerne, og til indkøb af tømmer og tilhuggede sten, der skal bruges til udbedring af templet. | 6 Unto carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house. |
| 7 Men der skal ikke holdes kontrol med de penge,der er betroet dem, for de handler på tro og love." | 7 Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully. |
| 8 Ypperstepræsten Hilkija sagde til statsskriveren Shafan: "Jeg har fundet lovbogen i Herrens tempel!" Hilkija gav bogen til Shafan, som læste den. | 8 And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it. |
| 9 Så kom statsskriveren Shafan til kongen og aflagde beretning: "Dine folk har taget de penge frem, som var i templet, og har givet dem til dem, der forestår arbejdet og fører tilsyn med Herrens tempel." | 9 And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD. |
| 10 Og statsskriveren Shafan fortalte kongen, at præsten Hilkija havde givet ham en bog, og Shafan læste den op for kongen. | 10 And Shaphan the scribe showed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king. |
| 11 Da kongen hørte, hvad der stod i lovbogen, flængede han sine klæder, | 11 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes. |
| 12 og han befalede præsten Hilkija, Ahikam, Shafans søn, Akbor, Mikas søn, statsskriveren Shafan og Kongens Tjener Asaja: | 12 And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the king's, saying, |
| 13 "Gå hen og rådspørg Herren for mig og for folket og for hele Juda om det, der står i denne bog, som er blevet fundet; for Herrens vrede, som er flammet op mod os, er stor, fordi vores fædre ikke adlød ordene. i denne bog og handlede efter alt det, der står i den." | 13 Go ye, inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us. |
| 14 Så gik præsten Hilkija, Ahikam, Akbor, Shafan og Asaja til profetinden Hulda, som var gift med Shallum, Tikvas søn, Harhas' sønnesøn, der havde tilsyn med klædekammeret. Hun boede i Jerusalems nye bydel. De forelagde hende sagen, | 14 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college;) and they communed with her. |
| 15 og hun sagde til dem: "Dette siger Herren, Israels Gud: Sig til denmand, som har sendt jer til mig: | 15 And she said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me, |
| 16 Dette siger Herren: Jeg bringer ulykke over dette sted og over dem, der bor her, alt det, der står i den bog, som Judas konge har læst, | 16 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read: |
| 17 fordi de svigtede mig og tændte offerild for andre guder, så de krænkede mig med deres hænders værk; derfor er min vrede flammet op mod dette sted, og den skal ikke slukkes. | 17 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched. |
| 18 Men til Judas konge, som sendte jer for at rådspørge Herren, skal I sige: Dette siger Herren, Israels Gud: Nu har du hørt ordene! | 18 But to the king of Judah which sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast heard; |
| 19 Men fordi dit hjerte var ængsteligt, så du ydmygede dig for Herrens ansigt, da du hørte mine trusler mod dette sted og mod dem, der bor her, om, at de skal blive til gru og forbandelse, og fordi du flængede dine klæder og græd for mit ansigt, så vil jeg bønhøre dig, siger Herren. | 19 Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the LORD. |
| 20 Derfor vil jeg lade dig samles med dine fædre; du skal lægges i graven med fred, og dine øjne skal ikke få al den ulykke at se, som jeg bringer over dette sted." Dette svar bragte de kongen. | 20 Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again. |
