2 Kings 16
1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah, began Ahaz son of Jotham king of Judah to reign.
I det syttande styringsåret åt Pekah Remaljason vart Ahaz Jotamsson konge i Juda.
2 Twenty years old, was Ahaz when he began to reign, and, sixteen years, reigned he in Jerusalem. And he did not that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh his God, like David his father;
Tjuge år gamall var Ahaz då han vart konge, og sekstan år rådde han i Jerusalem. Han gjorde ikkje det som rett var for Herren, hans Gud, som David, far hans.
3 but walked in the way of the kings of Israel, —moreover also, me made, his son, pass through the fire, according to the abominable practices of the nations, whom Yahweh dispossessed from before the sons of Israel;
Han gjekk i fotefari til Israels-kongarne, ja, han vigde jamvel son sin i elden, likt med dei avstyggjelege skikkarne hjå dei folki Herren hadde rudt ut for Israels-sønerne.
4 and he offered sacrifice and burned incense in the high places, and on the hills, —and under every green tree.
Han ofra slagtoffer, brende røykjelse på haugarne og på bakkarne, og under kvart grønt tre.
5 then, came up Rezin king of Syria, and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to make war, —and they laid siege against Ahaz, but could not overcome [him].
På den tid drog syrarkongen Resin og Israels-kongen Pekah Remaljason upp og vilde hertaka Jerusalem. Dei kringsette Ahaz, men vann ikkje taka byen.
6 At that time, Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath, to Syria, and wholly cleared out the Jews from Eloth, —and, the Syrians, entered Elath, and have dwelt there, unto this day.
Samstundes vann syrarkongen Resin Elat attende til Syria. Då han hadde kasta Juda-folki ut or Elat, kom syrarfolk kom og busette seg der, og der bur dei den dag i dag.
7 So Ahaz sent messengers unto Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, Thy servant and thy son, I am, —Come up and save me, out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who are rising up against me.
Ahaz sende bod til assyrarkongen Tiglat-Pileser med dei ordi: «Eg er din træl og din son. Kom upp, og frels meg frå syrarkongen og Israels-kongen, som hev teke på meg!»
8 And Ahaz took the silver and the gold that was found in the house of Yahweh, and in the treasuries of the house of the king, —and sent them to the king of Assyria, as a bribe.
Ahaz tok det sylvet og gullet som fanst i Herrens hus og skattkammeret i kongsgarden og sende det til gåva åt assyrarkongen.
9 So the king of Assyria hearkened unto him, and the king of Assyria came up unto Damascus, and seized it, and carried away the people thereof captive to Kir, —and put Rezin, to death.
Assyrarkongen lydde honom, og assyrarkongen drog upp mot Damaskus, hertok byen og førde folket burt til Kir; og Resin slo han i hel.
10 So then King Ahaz went to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, in Damascus, and saw the altar which was in Damascus, —and King Ahaz, sent unto Urijah the priest, a likeness of the altar, and a model thereof, according to all the workmanship thereof;
Kong Ahaz for til Damaskus til møtes med assyrarkongen Tiglat-Pileser. Då han fekk sjå altaret i Damaskus, sende kong Ahaz bilæte av altaret og eit fullkome mynster av det til presten Uria.
11 and Urijah the priest built an altar, —according to all that King Ahaz sent from Damascus, so, did Urijah the priest make it, by the time King Ahaz came from Damascus.
Og presten Uria bygde altaret; heilt etter den fyreskrift kong Ahaz hadde sendt frå Damaskus, soleis gjorde presten Uria det ferdigt, til dess kong Ahaz kom heim.
12 And, when the king came from Damascus, then the king saw the altar, —so the king drew near unto the altar, and caused offerings to ascend thereupon.
Då kongen kom heim frå Damaskus og fekk sjå altaret, gjekk han innåt, steig upp på det,
13 And he made perfume with his ascending-sacrifice, and with his meal-offering, and poured out his drink-offering, —and dashed the blood of the peace-offerings which he had, upon the altar.
brende brennofferet og grjonofferet sitt, helte ut drykkofferet sitt og skvette blodet av takkofferi sine på altaret.
14 And, the altar of bronze which was before Yahweh, he brought away from the forefront of the house, from between the altar, and the house of Yahweh, —and put it at the side of the altar northward.
Men koparaltaret som stod framfor Herrens åsyn, flutte han frå staden sin framfyre huset, millom Herrens hus og det nye altaret, og sette det på nordsida av dette altaret.
15 And King Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying—Upon the great altar, make thou perfume with the ascending-sacrifice of the morning, and with the meal-offering of the evening, and with the ascending-sacrifice of the king and with his meal-offering, and with the ascending-sacrifice of all the people of the land, and their meal-offering and their drink-offering, and, all the blood of the ascending-offering, and all the blood of the [peace] offering, thereupon, shalt thou dash, —but, the altar of bronze, shall be for me to inquire [into].
Kong Ahaz baud presten Uria: «På storaltaret skal du brenna brennofferet um morgonen og grjonofferet um kvelden, kongens brennoffer og grjonoffer, og brennofferet for heile landslyden og grjonofferet deira og drykkofferet deira; alt blod av brennoffer og alt blod av slagtoffer skal du hella ut der. Kva eg vil gjera med koparaltaret, skal eg tenkja næmare etter.»
16 So Urijah the priest did according to all that King Ahaz commanded.
Presten Uria gjorde plent som kong Ahaz baud.
17 And King Ahaz cut off the side walls of the stands, and took away from off them the laver, and, the sea, took he down from off the oxen of bronze, which were under it, —and set it on a pavement of stones.
Kong Ahaz braut laus listerne på fotstykki og tok baljorne ned derifrå; havet lyfte han ned frå koparuksarne som stod under, og sette det på eit steingolv.
18 Also, the covered walk for the Sabbath, which they had built in the house, and the outer entrance for the king, he changed in the house of Yahweh, —because of the king of Assyria.
Kviledags-svalgangen som dei hadde bygt i huset, og den ytre konge-inngangen lagde han inn i Herrens hus for assyrarkongen skuld.
19 Now, the rest of the story of Ahaz, what he did, is, it, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Det som elles er å fortelja um Ahaz, det han gjorde, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Juda-kongarne.
20 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, in the city of David, —and, Hezekiah his son, reigned, in his stead.
Ahaz lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine og vart gravlagd hjå federne sine i Davidsbyen. Og Hizkia, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
