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

1 In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel, Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah became king.

2 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.

2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.

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

3 He did right in the sight of the Lord, yet not like David his father; he did according to all that Joash his father had done.

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

4 Only the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.

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

5 Now it came about, as soon as the kingdom was firmly in his hand, that he killed his servants who had slain the king his father.

6 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."

6 But the sons of the slayers he did not put to death, according to what is written in the book of the Law of Moses, as the Lord commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not be put to death for the sons, nor the sons be put to death for the fathers; but each shall be put to death for his own sin.”

7 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.

7 He killed of Edom in the Valley of Salt 10,000 and took Sela by war, and named it Joktheel to this day.

8 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!"

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

9 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.

9 Jehoash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thorn bush which was in Lebanon sent to the cedar which was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son in marriage.’ But there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trampled the thorn bush.

10 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?"

10 You have indeed defeated Edom, and your heart has become proud. Enjoy your glory and stay at home; for why should you provoke trouble so that you, even you, would fall, and Judah with you?”

11 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;

11 But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah faced each other at Beth-shemesh, which belongs to Judah.

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

12 Judah was defeated by Israel, and they fled each to his tent.

13 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;

13 Then Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem and tore down the wall of Jerusalem from the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gate, 400 cubits.

14 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.

14 He took all the gold and silver and all the utensils which were found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasuries of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.

15 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.

15 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

16 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.

16 So Jehoash slept with his fathers and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son became king in his place.

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

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

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

18 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

19 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.

19 They conspired against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.

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

20 Then they brought him on horses and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.

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

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

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

22 He built Elath and restored it to Judah after the king slept with his fathers.

23 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.

23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel became king in Samaria, and reigned forty-one years.

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

24 He did evil in the sight of the Lord; he did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which he made Israel sin.

25 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.

25 He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath as far as the Sea of the Arabah, according to the word of the Lord, the God of Israel, which He spoke through His servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath-hepher.

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

26 For the Lord saw the affliction of Israel, which was very bitter; for there was neither bond nor free, nor was there any helper for Israel.

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

27 The Lord did not say that He would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, but He saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.

28 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.

28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam and all that he did and his might, how he fought and how he recovered for Israel, Damascus and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

29 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. 

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