2 Kings 21
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hephzibah.
Tolv år gamall var Manasse då han vart konge, fem og femti år rådde han i Jerusalem. Mor hans heitte Hefsiba.
2 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the nations whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, likt med dei avstyggjelege skikkarne hjå dei folki Herren hadde rudt ut for Israels-borni.
3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as did Ahab king of Israel, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served them.
Han bygde upp att dei offerhaugarne som Hizkia, far hans, hadde lagt i øyde, og reiste altar for Ba’al og laga Astarte-bilæte, liksom Ahab, Israels-kongen, hadde gjort, og kasta seg ned for og tente heile himmelheren.
4 He built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said, "I will put my name in Jerusalem."
Ja, han bygde altar i Herrens hus, der som Herren hadde sagt: «Til Jerusalem vil eg festa namnet mitt.»
5 He built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.
I båe tuni kring Herrens hus bygde han altar for heile himmelheren.
6 He made his son to pass through the fire, and practiced sorcery, and practiced divination, and consulted mediums, and spiritists: he worked much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
Han vigde son sin i elden og for med spådom og trolldom, og tinga folk til å mana fram draugar og spåvette. Han gjorde mykje som var vondt i Herrens augo, og harma honom.
7 He set the engraved image of Asherah, that he had made, in the house of which the LORD said to David and to Solomon his son, "In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name forever;
Astarte-bilætet som han hadde laga, sette han i det huset som Herren hadde sagt um til David og Salomo, son hans: «Til dette huset og til Jerusalem, som eg hev valt ut millom alle Israels ætter, vil eg festa namnet mitt i all æva.
8 neither will I cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land which I gave their fathers, if only they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them."
Eg vil ikkje meir lata Israel flakka heimlaus burt frå landet eg gav federne deira. Berre dei gjer og heldt seg etter alle mine bod og etter heile lovi som Moses, tenaren min, gav deim!»
9 But they did not listen: and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than the nations did whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.
Men dei lydde ikkje. Manasse forførde deim, so dei stelte seg verre enn dei folki Herren hadde øydt ut for Israels-borni.
10 The LORD spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,
Då tala Herren ved tenarane sine, profetarne, soleis:
11 "Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, and has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who were before him, and has made Judah also to sin with his idols;
«Av di Manasse, Juda-kongen, hev drive med desse avstyggjelege skikkarne, verre enn alt det amoritarne gjorde fyre hans tid, og forført med sine steingudar ogso Juda til å synda,
12 therefore thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'Look, I bring such disaster on Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both his ears shall tingle.
so segjer Herren, Israels Gud: «Sjå, eg sendar ulukka yver Jerusalem og Juda, so det skal ringja for båe øyro på alle som høyrer det.
13 I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.
Eg spanar same mælesnori yver Jerusalem som yver Samaria, og nyttar same vegtloddet som yver Ahabs hus. Eg turkar burt Jerusalem, liksom ein turkar av eit fat og so snur det upp ned.
14 I will cast off the remnant of my inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies. They will become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;
Eg støyter ifrå meg deim som er att av arvluten min, og gjev deim i fiendevald, so dei vert til ran og til herfang for alle sine fiendar.
15 because they have done that which is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even to this day.'"
Og det av di dei hev gjort det som vondt er i mine augo, og jamt harma meg frå den dagen federne deira drog ut or Egyptarland og til den dag i dag.»»
16 Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; besides his sin with which he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
Manasse let og skuldlaust blod renna, i so stor mengd at Jerusalem vart fyllt av det frå ende til annan, umfram den syndi at han forførde Juda til å gjera det som vondt var i Herrens augo.
17 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Det som elles er å fortelja um Manasse, um det han gjorde og um hans synd, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Juda-kongarne.
18 Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza: and Amon his son reigned in his place.
Manasse lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine, og vart gravlagd i slottshagen, i Uzzas hage. Og Amon, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
Tvo og tjuge år gamall var Amon då han vart konge; tvo år rådde han i Jerusalem. Mor hans heitte Mesullemet Harusdotter, frå Jotba.
20 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as Manasseh his father did.
Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, liksom Manasse, far hans;
21 He walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them:
han fylgde i alt fotefari til far sin, og tente steingudarne som far hans hadde tent, og bad til deim.
22 and he forsook the LORD, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the LORD.
Han vende seg frå Herren, sin fedregud, og gjekk ikkje på Herrens veg.
23 The servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.
Amons hirdmenner samansvor seg og drap kongen i huset hans.
24 But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.
Landsfolket slo i hel deim som hadde samansvore seg saman mot Amon, og tok Josia, son hans, til konge i staden hans.
25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Det som elles er å fortelja um Amon, det han gjorde, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Juda-kongarne.
26 He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his place.
Han vart gravlagd i gravi i Uzzias hage. Josia, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
