Kings III 15
1 And in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nabat, Abiu son of Roboam reigns over Juda.
I Kong Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, attende Regeringsaar blev Abija Konge over Juda.
2 And he reigned three years over Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Maacha, daughter of Abessalom.
Tre Aar herskede han i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Ma'aka og var en Datter af Absalom.
3 And he walked in the sins of his father which he wrought in his presence, and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as [was] the heart of his father [David].
Han vandrede i alle de Synder, hans Fader havde begaaet før ham, og hans Hjerte var ikke helt med HERREN hans Gud som hans Fader Davids.
4 Howbeit for David's sake the Lord gave him a remnant, that he might establish his children after him, and might establish Jerusalem.
Men for Davids Skyld lod HERREN hans Gud ham faa en Lampe i Jerusalem, idet han ophøjede hans Sønner efter ham og lod Jerusalem bestaa,
5 Forasmuch as David did that which was right in the sight of the Lord: he turned not from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life.
fordi David havde gjort, hvad der var ret i HERRENS Øjne, og ikke, saa længe han levede, var veget fra noget af, hvad han havde paalagt ham, undtagen over for Hetiten Urias.
(Rehabeam laa i Krig med Jeroboam, saa længe han levede).
7 And the rest of the history of Abiu, and all that he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? And there was war between Abiu and Jeroboam.
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Abija, alt, hvad han gjorde, staar jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike. Abija og Jeroboam laa i Krig med hinanden.
8 And Abiu slept with his fathers in the twenty-fourth year of Jeroboam; and he is buried with his fathers in the city of David: And Asa his son reigns in his stead.
Saa lagde Abija sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og man jordede ham i Davidsbyen; og hans Søn Asa blev Konge i hans Sted.
9 In the four and twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa begins to reign over Juda.
I Kong Jeroboam af Israels tyvende Regeringsaar blev Asa Konge over Juda,
10 And he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Ana, daughter of Abessalom.
og han herskede een og fyrretyve Aar i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Ma'aka og var en Datter af Absalom.
11 And Asa did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as David his father.
Asa gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENS Øjne, ligesom hans Fader David;
12 And he removed the sodomites out of the land, and abolished all the practices which his fathers had kept up.
han jog Mandsskøgerne ud af Landet og fjernede alle Afgudsbillederne, som hans Fædre havde ladet lave.
13 And he removed Ana his mother from being queen, forasmuch as she gathered a meeting in her grove: and Asa cut down her retreats, and burnt them with fire in the brook of Kedron.
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.
14 But he removed not the high places; nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord all his days.
Vel forsvandt Offerhøjene ikke, men alligevel var Asas Hjerte helt med HERREN, saa længe han levede.
15 And he brought in the pillars of his father, he even brought in his gold and silver pillars into the house of the Lord, and [his] vessels.
Og han bragte sin Faders og sine egne Helliggaver ind i HERRENS Hus, Sølv, Guld og forskellige Kar.
16 And there was war between Asa and Baasa king of Israel all their days.
Asa og Kong Ba'sja af Israel laa i Krig med hinanden, saa længe de levede.
17 And Baasa king of Israel went up against Juda, and built Rama, so that no one should go out or come in for Asa king of Juda.
Kong Ba'sja af Israel drog op imod Juda og befæstede Rama for at hindre, at nogen af Kong Asa af Judas Folk drog ud og ind.
18 And Asa took all the silver and the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and gave them into the hands of his servants; and king Asa sent them out to the son of Ader, the son of Taberema son of Azin king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying,
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:
19 Make a covenant between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: lo! I have sent forth to thee gold and silver [for] gifts: come, break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may go up from me.
»Der bestaar 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 Ba'sja af Israel, saa at han nødes til at drage bort fra mig!«
20 And the son of Ader hearkened to king Asa, and sent the chiefs of his forces to the cities of Israel; and they smote Ain, Dan, and Abel of the house of Maacha, and all Chennereth, as far as the whole land of Nephthali.
Benhadad gik ind paa 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.
21 And it came to pass when Baasa heard it, that he left off building Rama, and returned to Thersa.
Da Ba'sja hørte det, opgav han at befæste Rama og vendte tilbage til Tirza.
22 And king Asa charged all Juda without exception: and they take up the stones of Rama and its timbers [with] which Baasa was building; and king Asa built with them upon the whole hill of Benjamin, and the watch-tower.
Men Kong Asa stævnede hver eneste Mand i hele Juda sammen, og de førte Stenene og Træværket bort, som Ba'sja havde brugt ved Befæstningen af Rama; dermed befæstede Kong Asa saa Geba i Benjamin og Mizpa.
23 And the rest of the history of Asa, and all his mighty deeds which he wrought, and the cities which he built, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Asa, alle hans Heltegerninger, alt, hvad han gjorde, og de Byer, han befæstede, staar jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike. I øvrig led han i sin Alderdom af en Sygdom i Fødderne.
24 And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Josaphat his son reigns in his stead.
Saa 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.
25 And Nabat son of Jeroboam reigns over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Juda, and he reigned two years in Israel.
Nadab, Jeroboams Søn, blev Konge over Israel i Kong Asa af Judas andet Regeringsaar, og han herskede to Aar over Israel.
26 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sins wherein he caused Israel to sin.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, og vandrede i sin Faders Spor og i de Synder, han havde forledt Israel til.
27 And Baasa son of Achia, [who was] over the house of Belaan son of Achia, conspired against him, and smote him in Gabathon of the Philistines; for Nabat and all Israel were besieging Gabathon.
Da stiftede Ba'sja, Ahijas Søn af Issakars Hus, en Sammensværgelse imod ham, og Ba'sja huggede ham ned ved Gibbeton, der tilhørte Filisterne, medens Nadab og hele Israel belejrede Byen.
28 And Baasa slew him in the third year of Asa son of Asa king of Juda; and reigned in his stead.
Ba'sja dræbte ham i Kong Asa af Judas tredje Regeringsaar og blev Konge i hans Sted;
29 And it came to pass when he reigned, that he smote the whole house of Jeroboam, and left none that breathed of Jeroboam, until he has destroyed him utterly, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by his servant Achia the Selonite,
nu da han var blevet Konge, lod han hele Jeroboams Hus nedhugge, idet han ikke skaanede en eneste Sjæl af Jeroboams Slægt, men udryddede dem efter det Ord, HERREN havde talet ved sin Tjener Ahija fra Silo,
30 for the sins of Jeroboam, who led Israel into sin, even by his provocation wherewith he provoked the Lord God of Israel.
for de Synders Skyld, Jeroboam havde begaaet og forledt Israel til, for den Krænkelse, han havde tilføjet HERREN, Israels Gud.
31 And the rest of the history of Nabat, and all that he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Nadab, alt, hvad han gjorde, staar jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.
32 [And there was a war between Asa and Baasa king of Israel in all their days. ]
(Asa og Kong Ba'sja af Israel laa i Krig med hinanden, saa længe de levede.)
33 And in the third year of Asa king of Juda, Baasa the son of Achia begins to reign over Israel in Thersa, twenty and four years.
I Kong Asa af Judas tredje Regeringsaar blev Ba'sja, Ahijas Søn, Konge over hele Israel, og han herskede tre og tyve Aar i Tirza.
34 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and in his sins, as he caused Israel to sin.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, og vandrede i Jeroboams Spor og de Synder, han havde forledt Israel til.
