Første Kongebog 15

1 I Kong Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, attende Regeringsår blev Abija Konge over Juda.

And in the eighteenth yeere of King Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, reigned Abiiam ouer Iudah.

2 Tre År herskede han i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Ma'aka og var en datter af Absalom.

Three yeere reigned hee in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Maachah the daughter of Abishalom.

3 Han vandrede i alle de Synder, hans Fader havde begået før ham, og hans Hjerte var ikke helt med HERREN hans Gud som hans Fader Davids.

And hee walked in all the sinnes of his father, which hee had done before him: and his heart was not perfit with the Lord his God as the heart of Dauid his father.

4 Men for Davids Skyld lod HERREN hans Gud ham få en Lampe i Jerusalem, idet han ophøjede hans Sønner efter ham og lod Jerusalem bestå,

But for Dauids sake did the Lord his God giue him a light in Ierusalem, and set vp his sonne after him, and established Ierusalem,

5 fordi David havde gjort, hvad der var ret i HERRENs Øjne, og ikke, så længe han levede, var veget fra noget af, hvad han havde pålagt ham, undtagen over for Hetiten Urias.

Because Dauid did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and turned from nothing that he commanded him, all the dayes of his life, saue onely in the matter of Vriah the Hittite.

6 (Rehabeam lå i Krig med Jeroboam, så længe han levede).

And there was warre betweene Rehoboam and Ieroboam as long as he liued.

7 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Abija, alt, hvad han gjorde, står jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike. Abija og Jeroboam lå i Krig med hinanden.

The rest also of the actes of Abiiam, and all that he did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah? there was also warre betweene Abiiam, and Ieroboam.

8 Så lagde Abija sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og man jordede ham i Davidsbyen; og hans Søn Asa blev Konge i hans Sted.

And Abiiam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the citie of Dauid: and Asa his sonne reigned in his steade.

9 I Kong Jeroboam af Israels tyvende Regeringsår blev Asa Konge over Juda,

And in the twentie yeere of Ieroboam King of Israel reigned Asa ouer Iudah.

10 og han herskede een og fyrretyve År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Ma'aka og var en Datter af Absalom.

He reigned in Ierusalem one and fourtie yeere, and his mothers name was Maachah the daughter of Abishalom.

11 Asa gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENs Øjne, ligesom hans Fader David;

And Asa did right in the eyes of the Lord, as did Dauid his father.

12 han jog Mandsskøgerne ud af Landet og fjernede alle Afgudsbillederne, som hans Fædre havde ladet lave.

And he tooke away the Sodomites out of the lande, and put away all the idoles that his fathers had made.

13 Han fratog endog sin Moder Ma'aka Værdigheden som Herskerinde, fordi hun havde ladet lave et Skændselsbillede til Ære for Asjera; Asa lod hendes Skændselsbillede nedbryde og brænde i Kedrons Dal.

And he put downe Maachah his mother also from her estate, because shee had made an idole in a groue: and Asa destroyed her idoles, and burnt them by the brooke Kidron.

14 Vel forsvandt Offerhøjene ikke, men alligevel var Asas Hjerte helt med HERREN, så længe han levede.

But they put not downe the hie places. Neuertheles Asas heart was vpright with the Lord all his dayes.

15 Og han bragte sin Faders og sine egne Helliggaver ind i HERRENs Hus, Sølv, Guld og forskellige Kar.

Also he brought in the holy vessels of his father, and the things that he had dedicated vnto ye house of the Lord, siluer, and golde, and vessels.

16 Asa og Kong Basja af Israel lå i Krig med hinanden, så længe de levede.

And there was warre betweene Asa and Baasha King of Israel all their dayes.

17 Kong Basja af Israel drog op imod Juda og befæstede Rama for at hindre, at nogen af Kong Asa af Judas Folk drog ud og ind.

Then Baasha king of Israel went vp against Iudah, and buylt Ramah, so that he woulde let none go out or in to Asa King of Iudah.

18 Da tog Asa alt det Sølv og Guld, der var tilbage i Skatkamrene i HERRENs Hus og i Kongens Palads, overgav det til sine Folk og sendte dem til Kong Benhadad af Aram, en Søn af Hezjons Søn Tabrimmon, som boede i Damaskus, idet han lod sige:

Then Asa tooke all the siluer and the gold that was left in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the kings house, and deliuered them into the handes of his seruantes, and King Asa sent them to Ben-hadad the sonne of Tabrimon, the sonne of Hezion king of Aram that dwelt at Damascus, saying,

19 "Der består en Pagt mellem mig og dig, mellem min Fader og din Fader; her sender jeg dig en Gave af Sølv og Guld; bryd derfor din Pagt med Kong Basja af Israel, så at han nødes til at drage bort fra mig!"

There is a couenant betweene me and thee, and betweene my father and thy father: behold, I haue sent vnto thee a present of siluer and golde: come, breake thy couenant with Baasha King of Israel, that he may depart from me.

20 Benhadad gik ind på Kong Asas Forslag og sendte sine Hærførere mod Israels Byer og indtog Ijjon, Dan, Abel-Bet-Ma'aka og hele Kinnerot tillige med hele Naftalis Land.

So Ben-hadad hearkened vnto King Asa, and sent the captaines of the hosts, which he had, against the cities of Israel, and smote lion, and Dan, and Abel-beth-maachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

21 Da Basja hørte det, opgav han at befæste Rama og vendte tilbage til Tirza.

And when Baasha heard thereof, hee left buylding of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.

22 Men Kong Asa stævnede hver eneste Mand i hele Juda sammen, og de førte Stenene og Træværket bort, som Basja havde brugt ved Befæstningen af Rama; dermed befæstede Kong Asa så Geba i Benjamin og Mizpa.

Then king Asa assembled al Iudah, none excepted. and they tooke the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had buylt, and King Asa built with them Geba of Beniamin and Mizpah.

23 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Asa, alle hans Heltegerninger, alt, hvad han gjorde, og de Byer, han befæstede, står jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike. I øvrig led han i sin Alderdom af en Sygdom i Fødderne.

And the rest of all the actes of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he buylt, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah? but in his olde age he was diseased in his feete.

24 Så lagde han sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet hos sine Fædre i sin Fader Davids By; og hans Søn Josafat blev Konge i hans Sted.

And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the citie of Dauid his father. And Iehoshaphat his sonne reigned in his steade.

25 Nadab, Jeroboams Søn, blev Konge over Israel i Kong Asa af Judas andet Regeringsår, og han herskede to År over Israel.

And Nadab the sonne of Ieroboam began to reigne ouer Israel the second yere of Asa King of Iudah, and reigned ouer Israel two yeere.

26 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, og vandrede i sin Faders Spor og i de Synder, han havde forledt Israel til.

And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, walking in the way of his father, and in his sinne wherewith he made Israel to sinne.

27 Da stiftede Basja, Ahijas Søn af Issakars Hus, en Sammensværgelse imod ham, og Basja huggede ham ned ved Gibbeton, der tilhørte Filisterne, medens Nadab og hele Israel belejrede Byen.

And Baasha the sonne of Ahijah of ye house of Issachar conspired against him, and Baasha slue him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistims: for Nadab and all Israel layde siege to Gibbethon.

28 Basja dræbte ham i Kong Asa af Judas tredje Regeringsår og blev Konge i hans Sted;

Euen in the third yeere of Asa King of Iudah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his steade.

29 nu da han var blevet Konge, lod han hele Jeroboams Hus nedhugge, idet han ikke skånede en eneste Sjæl af Jeroboams Slægt, men udryddede dem efter det Ord, HERREN havde talet ved sin Tjener Ahija fra Silo,

And when he was King, he smote all the house of Ieroboam, he left none aliue to Ieroboam, vntill hee had destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord which he spake by his seruant Ahijah the Shilonite,

30 for de Synders Skyld, Jeroboam havde begået og forledt Israel til, for den Krænkelse, han havde tilføjet HERREN, Israels Gud.

Because of the sinnes of Ieroboam which he committed, and wherewith he made Israel to sinne, by his prouocation, wherewith he prouoked the Lord God of Israel.

31 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Nadab, alt, hvad han gjorde, står jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike

And the residue of the actes of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

32 ( Asa og kong Ba'sja af Israel lå i Krig med hinanden, så længe de levede.)

And there was warre betweene Asa and Baasha King of Israel, all their dayes.

33 I Kong Asa af Judas tredje Regeringsår blev Basja, Ahijas Søn, Konge over hele Israel, og han herskede tre og tyve År i Tirza.

In the thirde yeere of Asa King of Iudah, began Baasha the sonne of Ahijah to reigne ouer all Israel in Tirzah, and reigned foure and twentie yeeres.

34 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, og vandrede i Jeroboams Spor og de Synder, han havde forledt Israel til.

And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, walking in the way of Ieroboam, and in his sinne, wherewith he made Israel to sinne.
