Første Kongebog 15

1 Og i det attende Kong Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Aar blev Abiam Konge over Juda.

Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.

2 Han regerede tre Aar i Jerusalem, og hans Moders Navn var Maeka, Abisaloms Datter.

Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name [was] Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

3 Og han vandrede i alle sin Faders Synder, som han gjorde før ham, og hans Hjerte var ikke helt med Herren hans Gud, som Davids, hans Faders, Hjerte.

And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.

4 Men Herren hans Gud gav ham et Lys i Jerusalem for Davids Skyld, ved at han oprejste hans Søn efter ham og lod Jerusalem bestaa;

Nevertheless for David’s sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:

5 fordi David gjorde det, som ret var for Herrens Øjne, og veg ikke fra alt det, som han bød ham, alle sine Livs Dage, uden i den Handel med Hethiteren Uria.

Because David did [that which was] right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any [thing] that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

6 Og der var Krig imellem Roboam og imellem Jeroboam alle hans Livs Dage.

And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

7 Men det øvrige af Abiams Handeler og alt det, som han har gjort, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog? Og der var Krig imellem Abiam og Jeroboam.

Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

8 Og Abiam laa med sine Fædre, og de begrove ham i Davids Stad, og Asa, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.

And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.

9 Og i det tyvende Jeroboams, Israels Konges, Aar blev Asa Konge over Juda.

And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.

10 Og han regerede et og fyrretyve Aar i Jerusalem, og hans Moders Navn var Maeka, Abisaloms Datter.

And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name [was] Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

11 Og Asa gjorde det, som ret var for Herrens Øjne, som David hans Fader.

And Asa did [that which was] right in the eyes of the LORD, as [did] David his father.

12 Og han fordrev Skørlevnerne af Landet og bortskaffede alle stygge Afguder, som hans Fædre havde gjort.

And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

13 Tilmed afsatte han Maeka, sin Moder, at hun ikke skulde være Dronning, fordi hun havde gjort sig et grueligt Billede af Astarte, og Asa udryddede hendes gruelige Billede og opbrændte det ved Kedrons Bæk.

And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from [being] queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt [it] by the brook Kidron.

14 Men Højene toges ikke bort; dog var Asas Hjerte helt med Herren alle hans Dage.

But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa’s heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.

15 Og ban førte de Ting, som hans Fader havde helliget, og hvad som han selv havde helliget, ind i Herrens Hus, Sølv og Guld og Kar.

And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of the LORD, silver, and gold, and vessels.

16 Og der var Krig mellem Asa og Baesa, Israels Konge, alle deres Dage.

And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

17 Thi Baesa, Israels Konge, drog op imod Juda og byggede Rama, for ikke at tilstede Asa, Judas Konge, at nogen drog ud eller kom ind.

And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

18 Da tog Asa alt det Sølv og Guld, de Ting, som vare blevne tilovers af Herrens Hus's Liggendefæ og af Kongens Hus's Liggendefæ, og gav sine Tjenere dem i Hænderne, og Kong Asa sendte dem til Benhadad, en Søn af Tabrimmon, Hesions Søn, Kongen i Syrien, som boede i Damaskus og lod sige:

Then Asa took all the silver and the gold [that were] left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,

19 Der er en Pagt imellem mig og imellem dig, imellem min Fader og imellem din Fader, se, jeg sender dig Skænk, Sølv og Guld, drag hen, gør til intet din Pagt med Baesa, Israels Konge, at han maa drage op fra mig.

[There is] a league between me and thee, [and] between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

20 Og Benhadad adlød Kong Asa og sendte de Hærførere, som han havde, imod Israels Stæder og slog Ijon og Dan og Abel-Beth-Maaka og hele Kinneroth, tillige med alt Nafthalis Land.

So Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of the hosts which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-beth-maachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

21 Og det skete, der Baesa hørte det, da lod han af fra at bygge Rama og blev i Thirza.

And it came to pass, when Baasha heard [thereof], that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.

22 Saa lod Kong Asa hele Juda opbyde, der blev ingen fri, og de toge Stenene bort af Rama tillige med Tømmeret der, som Baesa havde bygget med, og Kong Asa byggede dermed Geba i Benjamin og Mizpa.

Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none [was] exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

23 Men det øvrige af alle Asas Han deler og al hans Vælde og alt, hvad han har gjort, og de Stæder, som han har bygget, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog? Dog i sin Alderdoms Tid blev han syg i sine Fødder.

The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

24 Og Asa laa med sine Fædre og blev begraven med sine Fædre i Davids, sin Faders Stad, og Josafat, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.

And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.

25 Og Nadab, Jeroboams Søn, blev Konge over Israel i det andet Asas, Judas Konges, Aar og regerede over Israel to Aar.

And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.

26 Og han gjorde det onde for Herrens Øjne og vandrede i sin Faders Veje og i hans Synd, som han kom Israel til at synde med.

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.

27 Men Baesa, Ahias Søn, af Isaskars Hus, gjorde et Forbund imod ham, og Baesa slog ham ved Gibbethon, som hørte Filisterne til, der Nadab og al Israel belejrede Gibbethon.

And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which [belonged] to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon.

28 Og Baesa slog ham ihjel i det tredje Asas, Judas Konges, Aar og blev Konge i hans Sted.

Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.

29 Og det skete, der han var Konge, da slog han hele Jeroboams Hus, han lod ikke nogen af Jeroboams blive tilovers, som havde Aande, indtil han havde ødelagt ham, efter Herrens Ord, som han talte ved Siloniteren Ahia, sin Tjener,

And it came to pass, when he reigned, [that] he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according unto the saying of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:

30 for Jeroboams Synders Skyld, som han syndede med, og som han kom Israel til at synde med, og for den Opirrelse, med hvilken han opirrede Herren, Israels Gud.

Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his provocation wherewith he provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger.

31 Men det øvrige af Nadabs Handeler, og alt det, som han har gjort, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Israels Kongers Krønikers Bog?

Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

32 Og der var Krig imellem Asa og imellem Baesa, Israels Konge, alle deres Dage.

And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

33 I det tredje Asas, Judas Konges, Aar blev Baesa, Ahias Søn, Konge over al Israel i Thirza, fire og tyve Aar.

In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years.

34 Og han gjorde det onde for Her-Tens Øjne og vandrede i Jeroboams Vej og i hans Synd, som han kom Israel til at synde med.

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
