1 Kings 15
1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.
I kong Jeroboams, Nebats sønns attende år blev Abiam konge over Juda.
2 Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name [was] Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
Han regjerte tre år i Jerusalem. Hans mor hette Ma'aka; hun var datter til Abisalom.
3 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.
Han vandret i alle de synder som hans far hadde gjort før ham, og hans hjerte var ikke helt med Herren hans Gud, som hans far Davids hjerte hadde vært;
4 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:
men for Davids skyld lot Herren hans Gud en lampe brenne for ham i Jerusalem, idet han opreiste hans sønn efter ham og lot Jerusalem bli stående,
5 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.
fordi David gjorde hvad rett var i Herrens øine, og i hele sitt liv ikke vek av fra noget av det han hadde befalt ham, undtagen det som hendte med hetitten Uria.
6 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
Mellem Rehabeam og Jeroboam var det krig så lenge han levde.
7 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.
Hvad som ellers er å fortelle om Abiam og om alt det han gjorde, er opskrevet i Judas kongers krønike. Mellem Abiam og Jeroboam var det også krig.
8 And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.
Og Abiam la sig til hvile hos sine fedre, og de begravde ham i Davids stad; og hans sønn Asa blev konge i hans sted.
9 And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.
I Jeroboams, Israels konges tyvende år blev Asa konge over Juda.
10 And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name [was] Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
Han regjerte en og firti år i Jerusalem. Hans mor hette Ma'aka; hun var datter til Abisalom.
11 And Asa did [that which was] right in the eyes of the LORD, as [did] David his father.
Asa gjorde hvad rett var i Herrens øine, likesom hans far David hadde gjort.
12 And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
Han drev tempel-bolerne ut av landet og fikk bort alle de motbydelige avguder som hans fedre hadde gjort.
13 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.
Han avsatte endog sin mor Ma'aka fra hennes verdighet, fordi hun hadde gjort et gruelig avgudsbillede for Astarte; Asa hugg hennes gruelige avgudsbillede ned og brente det i Kidrons dal.
14 But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa’s heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.
Men offerhaugene blev ikke nedlagt; dog var Asas hjerte helt med Herren så lenge han levde.
15 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.
Han lot de ting hans far hadde helliget, og dem han selv hadde helliget, føre inn i Herrens hus, både sølv og gull og andre ting.
16 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
Mellem Asa og Baesa, Israels konge, var det krig så lenge de levde.
17 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.
Baesa, Israels konge, drog op mot Juda og bygget festningsverker i Rama for å hindre enhver fra å dra fra eller til Asa, Judas konge.
18 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,
Da tok Asa alt det sølv og gull som var tilbake i skattkammerne i Herrens hus, og likeså skattene i kongens hus og overgav dem til sine tjenere; så sendte kong Asa dem til Benhadad, kongen i Syria, som bodde i Damaskus og var sønn til Tabrimmon, Hesjons sønn, med de ord:
19 [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.
Mellem mig og dig er det jo et forbund, som det var mellem min far og din far. Her sender jeg dig en gave av sølv og gull; bryt nu ditt forbund med Baesa, Israels konge, så han må dra bort fra mig!
20 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.
Benhadad lød kong Asa og sendte sine hærførere mot Israels byer og inntok Ijon og Dan og Abel-Bet-Ma'aka og hele Kinneret med hele Naftalis land.
21 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard [thereof], that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.
Da Baesa hørte det, holdt han op med å bygge festningsverker i Rama og gav sig til i Tirsa.
22 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.
Men kong Asa opbød hele Juda - ingen var fritatt - og de førte bort stenene og tømmeret som Baesa hadde brukt til festningsarbeidet i Rama; med det bygget kong Asa festningsverker i Geba i Benjamin og i Mispa.
23 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.
Hvad som ellers er å fortelle om Asa, om alle hans store gjerninger og alt det han gjorde, og om de byer han bygget, det er opskrevet i Judas kongers krønike. Men i sin alderdom fikk han en sykdom i føttene.
24 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.
Og Asa la sig til hvile hos sine fedre og blev begravet hos sine fedre i sin far Davids stad, og hans sønn Josafat blev konge i hans sted.
25 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.
Nadab, Jeroboams sønn, blev konge over Israel i Asas, Judas konges annet år, og han regjerte over Israel i to år.
26 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.
Han gjorde hvad ondt var i Herrens øine, og vandret på sin fars vei og i hans synd, den som han hadde fått Israel til å gjøre.
27 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.
Men Baesa, Akias sønn, av Issakars hus, fikk i stand en sammensvergelse mot ham; og Baesa slo ham ihjel ved Gibbeton, som tilhørte filistrene, mens Nadab og hele Israel holdt Gibbeton kringsatt.
28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.
Baesa drepte ham i Asas, Judas konges tredje år og blev så konge i hans sted.
29 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:
Og da han var blitt konge, slo han hele Jeroboams hus ihjel; han lot ikke en levende sjel bli tilbake av Jeroboams hus, men utryddet det efter det ord som Herren hadde talt ved sin tjener Akia fra Silo;
30 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.
dette skjedde for de synders skyld som Jeroboam hadde gjort, og som han hadde fått Israel til å gjøre, og fordi han hadde vakt Herrens, Israels Guds harme.
31 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?
Hvad som ellers er å fortelle om Nadab og om alt det han gjorde, er opskrevet i Israels kongers krønike.
32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
Mellem Asa og Israels konge Baesa var det krig så lenge de levde.
33 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.
I Asas, Judas konges tredje år blev Baesa, Akias sønn, konge over hele Israel i Tirsa, og han var konge i fire og tyve år.
34 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.
Han gjorde hvad ondt var i Herrens øine, og vandret på Jeroboams vei og i hans synd, den som han hadde fått Israel til å gjøre.
