< 1 Kings 15 >
1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat began Abijam to reign over Judah.
I Kong Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, attende Regeringsår blev Abija Konge over Juda.
2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.
Tre År herskede han i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Ma'aka og var en datter af Absalom.
3 He walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with YHWH his God, as the heart of David his father.
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.
4 Nevertheless for David's sake, YHWH his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem;
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,
5 because David did that which was right in the eyes of YHWH, and did not turn aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hethite.
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.
6 [Now there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.]
(Rehabeam lå i Krig med Jeroboam, så længe han levede).
7 The rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
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.
8 Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the City of David: and Asa his son reigned in his place.
Så 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 twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Asa to reign over Judah.
I Kong Jeroboam af Israels tyvende Regeringsår blev Asa Konge over Juda,
10 He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.
og han herskede een og fyrretyve År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Ma'aka og var en Datter af Absalom.
11 Asa did that which was right in the eyes of YHWH, as did David his father.
Asa gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENs Øjne, ligesom hans Fader David;
12 And he banished the male temple prostitutes out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
han jog Mandsskøgerne ud af Landet og fjernede alle Afgudsbillederne, som hans Fædre havde ladet lave.
13 Also Maacah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and burnt it in the Kidron Valley.
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 the high places were not taken away: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with YHWH all his days.
Vel forsvandt Offerhøjene ikke, men alligevel var Asas Hjerte helt med HERREN, så længe han levede.
15 He brought into the house of YHWH the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.
Og han bragte sin Faders og sine egne Helliggaver ind i HERRENs Hus, Sølv, Guld og forskellige Kar.
16 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
Asa og Kong Basja af Israel lå i Krig med hinanden, så længe de levede.
17 Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
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.
18 Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of YHWH, 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 Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Aram, who lived at 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 "Let there be a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. Look, I have sent to you a present of silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me."
"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!"
20 Ben Hadad listened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Beth Maacah, and all Kinnereth, with all the land of Naphtali.
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.
21 It happened, when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and lived in Tirzah.
Da Basja hørte det, opgav han at befæste Rama og vendte tilbage til Tirza.
22 Then king Asa made a proclamation to all Judah; none was exempted: and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and king Asa built therewith Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
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.
23 Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But 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, står jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike. I øvrig led han i sin Alderdom af en Sygdom i Fødderne.
24 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 place.
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.
25 Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years.
Nadab, Jeroboams Søn, blev Konge over Israel i Kong Asa af Judas andet Regeringsår, og han herskede to År over Israel.
26 He did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made 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 Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha struck him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.
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.
28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed him, and reigned in his place.
Basja dræbte ham i Kong Asa af Judas tredje Regeringsår og blev Konge i hans Sted;
29 It happened that, as soon as he was king, he struck all the house of Jeroboam: he did not leave to Jeroboam any who breathed, until he had destroyed him; according to the saying of YHWH, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite;
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,
30 for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and with which he made Israel to sin, because of his provocation with which he provoked YHWH, the God of Israel, to anger.
for de Synders Skyld, Jeroboam havde begået og forledt Israel til, for den Krænkelse, han havde tilføjet HERREN, Israels Gud.
31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Nadab, alt, hvad han gjorde, står jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike
32 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
( Asa og kong Ba'sja af Israel lå i Krig med hinanden, så længe de levede.)
33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel in Tirzah for twenty-four years.
I Kong Asa af Judas tredje Regeringsår blev Basja, Ahijas Søn, Konge over hele Israel, og han herskede tre og tyve År i Tirza.
34 He did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin with which he made 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.
