1 Kings 14
1 At that time, Jeroboam’s son Abijah became very sick.
Ved det bilet vart Abia, son åt Jerobeam, sjuk.
2 Jeroboam said to his wife, “Disguise yourself, in order that no one will recognize that you are my wife. Then go to Shiloh [city], where the prophet Ahijah [lives]. He is the one who predicted/prophesied that I would become the king of Israel.
Då sagde Jerobeam til kona si: «Tak og klæd deg ut, so ingen vert vis med at du er kona åt Jerobeam, og gakk so til Silo! Der bur profeten Ahia, han som tala um at eg skulde verta konge yver dette folket.
3 Take with you ten [loaves of] bread and some small flat cakes, and a jar of honey, [and give them] to him. [Tell him about] our son, [and] he will tell you what will happen to him.”
Tak med deg ti brød og kakor og ei krukka med honning og gakk inn til honom! Han skal vitra deg um korleis det skal ganga med guten.»
4 So his wife went to Shiloh, to Ahijah’s house. Ahijah was unable to see, because he was very old and had become blind.
Og kona åt Jerobeam gjorde so; ho tok ut til Silo og kom til huset åt Ahia. Men Ahia kunde ikkje sjå; for augo hans var star-blinde av alderdom.
5 But [before she got there, ] Yahweh told Ahijah that Jeroboam’s wife was coming to inquire about their son, who was very sick. And Yahweh told Ahijah what he should tell her. When she came to him, she pretended to be another woman.
Men Herren hadde sagt til Ahia: «Kona åt Jerobeam kjem og vil spyrja deg ut um son sin, for han er sjuk. Det og det skal du segja med henne. Når ho kjem, vil ho bera seg åt liksom ho var framand.»
6 But when Ahijah heard her footsteps as she entered the doorway, he said to her, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam! (Why do you pretend that you are someone else?/It will not help you to pretend that you are someone else.) [RHQ] [Yahweh] has given me bad news to tell you.
Då no Ahia høyrde fotstigi hennar i det same ho kom inn døri, sagde han: «Kom inn, du kona åt Jerobeam! Kvi ber du deg åt liksom du var framand? Eg er send til deg med eit hardt bod.
7 Go and tell Jeroboam that this is what Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says to you: ‘I chose you from among the common people and enabled you to become the king of my Israeli people.
Gakk og seg til Jerobeam: «So segjer Herren, Israels Gud: «Eg hev lyft deg upp or folket og sett deg til fyrste yver folket mitt, Israel,
8 I took [most of] the kingdom of Israel away from David’s descendants and gave it to you. But you have not been like David, who served me [very well]. He obeyed all my commandments very sincerely, doing only things that I considered to be right.
og rive riket ifrå Davids hus og gav det til deg. Men du hev ikkje stelt deg som tenaren min, David; han heldt bodi mine og fylgde meg av alt sitt hjarta, so han gjorde einast det som rett var i mine augo;
9 But you have done more evil things/deeds than all those [who ruled] before you. You have rejected me, and you have caused me to become very angry by making metal images of other gods so that you [and others] could worship them.
men du hev gjort meir vondt enn alle som hev vore fyre deg; du hev gjenge av og laga deg andre gudar, støypte bilæte, for å harma meg, og meg hev du kasta attum ryggen din.
10 ‘So, I am going to cause terrible things to happen to your family. I will cause all your male descendants to die, young ones and old ones. I will completely get rid of your family [MTY]. I will get rid of your family [MTY] just like a man completely burns dung [to cook his food].
Difor vil eg lata ulukka koma yver Jerobeams hus og rydja ut kvar ein karmann av ætti hans både, både ufri og fri i Israel, og eg skal sopa etter Jerobeams hus plent som ein sopar burt skarn, til dess det ingen ting er att av det.
11 [The corpses of] any members of your family who die in cities will be eaten by dogs. And [the corpses of] any members of your family who die in the open fields will be eaten by vultures. [This will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said [that it will happen].’
Den av Jerobeams hus som døyr i byen, skal hundarne eta upp, og den som døyr utpå marki, skal fuglane under himmelen eta upp. For soleis hev Herren tala.»»
12 So go back home. And as soon as you enter the city, your son will die.
Gakk no du heim att! Når føterne stig inn i byen, so døyr barnet.
13 All the Israeli people will mourn for him and bury him. He is the only one of Jeroboam’s family who will be buried [properly], because he is the only one of Jeroboam’s family with whom Yahweh is pleased.
Og heile Israel skal halda syrgjehøgtid for honom, og dei skal gravleggja honom; for av Jerobeams hus er han den einaste som skal koma i ei grav, etter di han var den einaste i Jerobeams hus som det var noko godt hjå imot Herren, Israels Gud.
14 Furthermore, Yahweh will appoint for himself a king to rule over Israel who will get rid of Jeroboam’s descendants. And that [will start to happen] today!
Men Herren skal setja seg ein konge yver Israel, som skal rydja ut Jerobeams hus. Dette er dagen, og no skal det henda.
15 Yahweh will punish the people of Israel; he will shake them like [the wind] shakes the reeds [that grow in] a stream. He will expel the Israeli people from this good land that he gave to our ancestors. He will scatter them into countries east of [the Euphrates] River, because they have caused him to become very angry by [worshiping statues of] the goddess Asherah.
Herren skal slå Israel som sevet voggar i vatnet, og han skal rykkja Israel upp or dette gode landet, som han gav federne deira, og strøya deim på andre sida åt Storelvi, for di dei hev laga seg asjeror og vekt Herrens harm.
16 Yahweh will abandon the Israeli people because of the sins that Jeroboam committed, sins which led the Israeli people to commit them.”
Og han skal ofra Israel for dei synder skuld som Jerobeam gjorde, og som han fekk Israel til å gjera.»
17 Jeroboam’s wife returned home to Tirzah [city, the new capital of Israel]. And just as she entered her house, her son died.
Då reis kona åt Jerobeam upp og gjekk sin veg og kom til Tirsa, og med same ho steig yver dørstokken i huset, døydde guten.
18 All the Israeli people mourned for him and buried him, which is what Yahweh had told his servant, the prophet Ahijah, would happen.
Og dei gravlagde honom, og heile Israel heldt syrgjehøgtid for honom, etter det ord som Herren hadde tala ved tenaren sin, profeten Ahia.
19 Everything else that Jeroboam did, and the record of wars that his [army] fought, and how he ruled, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Det som elles er å fortelja um Jerobeam, um krigerne hans og styringi hans, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.
20 Jeroboam ruled for 22 years; then he died [EUP] and his son Nadab became king.
Styringstidi åt Jerobeam var tvo og tjuge år. So lagde han seg til kvile hjå federne sine, og Nadab, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
21 Solomon’s son Rehoboam ruled Judah. He was 41 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled for 17 years. He ruled in Jerusalem, which is the city that Yahweh chose out of all the tribes of Israel to be the place where he should be worshiped [MTY]. Rehoboam’s mother’s name was Naamah; she was from the Ammon people-group.
Men Rehabeam, son åt Salomo, var konge i Juda; ein og fyrti år var Rehabeam då han vart konge, og syttan år styrde han i Jerusalem, den byen som Herren hadde valt ut av alle Israels ætter til bustad for namnet sitt. Mor hans var ei ammonitkvinna som heitte Na’ama.
22 The people of Judah did things that Yahweh considered to be evil. They caused him to become angry because they committed more sins than their ancestors had committed: They worshiped many other gods instead of worshiping only Yahweh.
Og Juda gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo; med dei synder dei gjorde, vekte dei brennhugen hans meir enn federne deira hadde gjort.
23 They built places to worship those gods; on high hills, and under big trees they set up [stone] pillars to worship the goddess Asherah.
Dei og bygde seg offerhaugar og laga til stolpar og asjeror på kvar ein høg bakke og under kvart eit grønt tre;
24 Also, there were male prostitutes at these places of worship. The Israeli people did the same disgraceful things that had been done by the people whom Yahweh had expelled while the Israelis were advancing through the land.
ja, det var jamvel utukt-sveinar i landet. Dei heldt på med all styggedomen hjå dei folki som Herren hadde jaga undan for Israels-sønerne.
25 When Rehoboam had been ruling for almost five years, King Shishak of Egypt came [with his army] to attack Jerusalem.
I femte styringsåret åt Rehabeam drog egyptarkongen Sisak upp imot Jerusalem.
26 They took away all the valuable things in the temple and in the king’s palace, including the gold shields that Solomon’s [workers] had made.
Og han tok skattarne i Herrens hus og skattarne i kongshuset; alt saman tok han. Han tok alle gullskjoldarne og, som Salomo hadde late gjera.
27 King Rehoboam’s [workers] made bronze shields to replace them and entrusted them to officers who guarded the entrance to the king’s palace.
I deira stad fekk kong Rehabeam gjort koparskjoldar og gav deim i varveitsla til hovdingarne for livvakti, dei som heldt vakt ved inngangen til kongshuset;
28 Every time that the king went into the temple, those guards carried those shields; and [when he left the temple] they returned the shields to the storeroom.
og kvar gong kongen gjekk til Herrens hus, bar vaktmennerne deim og tok deim so attende til vaktstova.
29 Everything else that Rehoboam did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Det som elles er å fortelja um Rehabeam, um alt det han gjorde, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Juda-kongarne.
30 There were wars continually between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam.
Millom Rehabeam og Jerobeam var det ufred stødt.
31 Then Rehoboam died [EUP], and he was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors were buried. Then his son Abijah became the king.
Og Rehabeam lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine, og vart gravlagd hjå federne sine i Davidsbyen. Mor hans heitte Na’ama, ammonitkvinna. Og Abiam, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
