¹In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.

¹I Kong Jeroboam af Israels syvogtyvende Regeringsår blev Azarja, Amazjas Søn, Konge over Juda.

²Han var seksten År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede to og halvtredsindstyve År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Jekolja og var fra Jerusalem.

³He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

³Han gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENs Øjne, ganske som hans Fader Amazja.

⁴However the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

⁴Kun forsvandt Offerhøjeneikke, men Folket blev ved med at ofre og tænde Offerild på Højene,

⁵Yahweh struck the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house. Jotham the king’s son was over the household, judging the people of the land.

⁵Men HERREN ramte Kongen, så han blev spedalsk til sin Dødedag; og han fik Lov at blive boende i sit Hus, medens Kongens Søn Jotam rådede i Paladset og dømte Folket i Landet.

⁶Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

⁶Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Azarja, alt, hvad han udførte, står jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.

⁷Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his place.

⁷Så jagde han sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og man jordede ham hos hans Fædre i Davidsbyen; og hans Søn Jotam blev Konge i hans Sted.

⁹He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as his fathers had done: he didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.

¹⁰Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and struck him before the people, and killed him, and reigned in his place.

¹⁰Men Sjallum, Jabesjs Søn, stiftede en Sammensværgelse modham, huggede ham ned og dræbte ham i Jibleam og blev Konge i hans Sted.

¹¹Now the rest of the acts of Zechariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

¹¹Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Zekarja, står optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.

¹²This was the word of Yahweh which he spoke to Jehu, saying, “Your sons to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.” So it came to pass.

¹²Således opfyldtes det Ord HERREN havde talet til Jehu, da han sagde: "Dine Sønner skal sidde på Israels Trone indtil fjerde Led." Således gik det.

¹⁴Da drog Menahem, Gadis Søn, op fra Tirza til Samaria, og der huggede han Sjallum, Jabesjs Søn, ned og dræbte ham og blev Konge i hans Sted.

¹⁵Now the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

¹⁵Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Sjallum og den Sammensværgelse, han stiftede, står optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.

¹⁶Then Menahem struck Tiphsah, and all who were therein, and its borders, from Tirzah: because they didn’t open to him, therefore he struck it; and all the women therein who were with child he ripped up.

¹⁶Fra Tirza hærgede Menahem ved den Tid Tappua og alt, hvad der var deri, og hele dets Område, fordi de ikke havde åbnet Portene for ham; derfor hærgede han det og lod Livet rive op på alle frugtsommelige Kvinder der.

¹⁷In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem the son of Gadi began to reign over Israel for ten years in Samaria.

¹⁷I Kong Azarja af Judas ni og tredivte Regeringsår blev Menahem, Gadis Søn, Konge over Israel, og han herskede ti År i Samaria.

¹⁸He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh: he didn’t depart all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.

¹⁹There came against the land Pul the king of Assyria; and Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.

¹⁹faldt Kong Pul af Assyrien ind i Landet. Men Menahem gav Pul 1000 Talenter Sølv, for at han skulde støtfe ham og sikre ham Magten;

²⁰Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and didn’t stay there in the land.

²⁰Menahem inddrev disse Penge hos Israel, hos alle de velhavende, halvtredsindstyve Sekel Sølv hos hver, for at udbetale dem til Assyrerkongen. Så vendte Assyrerkongen hjem og blev ikke længer der i Landet.

²¹Now the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

²¹Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Menahem, alt, hvad han udførte, står jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.

²²Menahem slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son reigned in his place.

²²Så lagde Menahem sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og hans Søn Pekaja blev Konge i hans Sted.

²³In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria for two years.

²⁵Pekah the son of Remaliah, his captain, conspired against him, and struck him in Samaria, in the castle of the king’s house, with Argob and Arieh; and with him were fifty men of the Gileadites: and he killed him, and reigned in his place.

²⁵Men hans Høvedsmand Peka, Remaljas Søn, stiftede en Sammensværgelse mod ham, og fulgt af halvtredsindstyve gileaditiske Mænd huggede han ham ned i Samada i Kongeborgen..., og efter at have dræbt ham blev han Konge i hans Sted.

²⁶Now the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

²⁶Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Pekaja, alt, hvad han udførte, står optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.

²⁹In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abel Beth Maacah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali; and he carried them captive to Assyria.

³¹Now the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

³⁵Kun forsvandt Offerhøjene ikke, men Folket blev ved med at ofre og tænde Offerild på Højene. Det var ham, der lod Øvreporten i HERRENs Hus opføre.

³⁶Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

³⁶Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jotam, alt, hvad han udførte, står jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.

³⁷In those days Yahweh began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah.

³⁷På den Tid begyndte HERREN at lade Kong Rezin af Aram og Peka, Remaljas Søn, angribe Juda.
