1 Kings 16
1 During the time that Baasha [was king of Israel], [the prophet] Jehu, Hanani’s son, gave Baasha this message that he had received from Yahweh:
Og Herrens ord kom til Jehu Hananison um Baesa, soleis:
2 “You were very insignificant/unimportant [IDM] when I caused you to become the ruler of my Israeli people. But you have caused me to become very angry by doing [IDM] the kinds of evil things that King Jeroboam did. You have also caused me to become angry by causing my people to sin.
«Eg hev lyft deg upp or moldi og sett deg til hovding yver Israel, folket mitt. Men du hev fare der Jerobeam for, og fenge Israel, folket mitt, til å synda, so dei hev harma meg med synderne sine.
3 So now I will get rid of you and your family [MTY]. I will do to you just like I did to Jeroboam and his family.
Difor vil eg sopa etter Baesa og huset hans; eg vil gjera med ditt hus som eg gjorde med huset åt Jerobeam Nebatsson.
4 [The bodies of] those in your family who die in this city [will not be buried; they] will be eaten by dogs; and [the corpses of] those who die in the fields will be eaten by vultures.”
Den av huset åt Baesa som døyr i byen, skal hundarne eta upp, og den av huset hans som døyr utpå marki, skal fuglarne under himmelen eta upp.»
5 The other things that happened during the time that Baasha ruled Israel, and the things that he did, are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Det som elles er å fortelja um Baesa og um det han gjorde, um storverki hans, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.
6 When Baasha died, he was buried in Tirzah, [the capital city]. Then his son Elah became king.
Og Baesa lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine og vart gravlagd i Tirsa, og Ela, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
7 Yahweh gave that message about Baasha and his family to the prophet Jehu. Baasha had done many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, which caused Yahweh to become angry. Baasha did the same kind of things that King Jeroboam and his family had done previously. Yahweh was also angry with Baasha because he had killed all of Jeroboam’s family.
Men gjenom profeten Jehu Hananison var Herrens ord kome til Baesa og huset hans både for alt det han gjorde som Herren mislika, då han harma honom med det som henderne hans gjorde i likskap med Jerobeams hus, og for det at han hadde slege dette i hel.
8 After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost 26 years, Elah became the king of Israel. Elah ruled in Tirzah for [only] two years.
I det seks og tjugande året åt Juda-kongen Asa vart Ela Baesason konge yver Israel i Tirsa, og det var han i tvo år.
9 [A man named] Zimri was one of Elah’s army officers. He commanded the drivers of half of Elah’s army’s (chariots/two-wheeled vehicles pulled by horses). He made plans to kill Elah while Elah was in Tirzah, getting drunk at the house of [a man named] Arza. Arza was the man who took care of the things in the king’s palace.
Då fekk ein av tenarane hans, Zimri, hovdingen for helvti av vognerne, til ei samansverjing imot honom, og ein gong han hadde teke seg eit rus i Tirsa, i huset åt Arsa, drottseten i Tirsa,
10 Zimri went into Arza’s house and killed Elah. Then Zimri became the king of Israel. That was when Asa had been the king of Judah for 27 years.
kom Zimri dit og slo han i hel - det var i sju og tjugande året åt Juda-kongen Asa - og so vart han sjølv konge i staden hans.
11 As soon as Zimri became king [MTY], he killed all of Baasha’s family [MTY]. That included every male [IDM] in Baasha’s family and all of Baasha’s male friends.
Og då han hadde vorte konge og var komen på kongsstolen sin, tynte han heile huset åt Baesa; han let det ikkje vera att nokon karmann, men drap jamvel skyldfolk og vener til honom.
12 That was just what Yahweh told the prophet Jehu would happen.
So rudde Zimri ut heile huset åt Baesa, etter det ord som Herren hadde tala til Baesa gjenom profeten Jehu,
13 Baasha and his son Elah had sinned and led the Israeli people to sin. They caused Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people worshiped, to become angry, because they both urged the people [to worship] worthless idols.
for alle dei synder skuld som Baesa og Ela, son hans, hadde gjort, og som dei hadde fenge Israel til å gjera, so dei harma Herren, Israels Gud, med dei fånyttige avgudarne sine.
14 Everything else that Elah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Det som elles er å fortelja um Ela og alt det han gjorde, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.
15 So Zimri became the king of Israel after Asa had been king of Judah for 27 years. But Zimri ruled in Tirzah for only seven days. The Israeli army was beseiging/surrounding Gibeah, a town which belonged to the Philistine people-group.
I det sju og tjugande året åt Juda-kongen Asa vart Zimri konge i sju dagar i Tirsa, den gongen folket kringsette Gibbeton, som tilhøyrde filistarane.
16 The men in the Israeli army camp heard that Zimri had secretly planned to kill King Elah, and then had killed him. So on that day the soldiers chose Omri, the commander of their army, to become the king of Israel.
Då folket som låg i lægret, høyrde at Zimri hadde fenge til ei samansverjing og jamvel slege kongen i hel, gjorde heile Israel den israelitiske herføraren Omri til konge i lægret same dagen.
17 The Israeli army was camped near Gibbethon [city]. When they heard what Zimri had done, they left there and went to Tirzah, and surrounded the city.
Og Omri tok upp ifrå Gibbeton og heile Israel med honom, og dei kringsette Tirsa.
18 When Zimri realized that the city was [about to be] captured, he went into his palace and set it on fire. So the palace burned down, and he died [in the fire].
Og då Zimri såg at byen var teken, gjekk han inn i borgi i kongsgarden og sette eld på kongsgarden yver seg og døydde soleis,
19 He died because he had sinned by doing the things that Yahweh considered to be evil. Jeroboam had led the Israeli people to sin, and Zimri sinned just like Jeroboam had sinned.
for dei synder han hadde gjort, med di han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo og stemnde fram på Jerobeams veg og i den synd som han hadde gjort og fenge Israel til å gjera.
20 All the other things that Zimri did, and the record of how he rebelled [against King Elah], are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Det som elles er å fortelja um Zimri og um den samansverjingi som han fekk til, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.
21 After Zimri died, the Israeli people were divided. One group wanted Tibni, the son of Ginath, to be their king. The other group wanted Omri [to be the king].
No kløydest Israels-folket seg i tvo flokkar; den eine helvti av folket heldt med Tibni Ginatsson og gjorde honom til konge, men den andre helvti heldt seg til Omri.
22 Those who supported Omri (were stronger than/defeated) those who supported Tibni. So Tibni was killed, and Omri became king.
Og den flokken som heldt med Omri, vart for sterk for deim som heldt med Tibni Ginatsson, og då Tibni døydde, vart Omri konge.
23 Omri became king when Asa had been king of Judah for almost 31 years. Omri ruled Israel for 12 years. For the first six years he ruled in Tirzah.
I det eitt og trettiande året åt Juda-kongen Asa vart Omri konge i Israel, og det var han i tolv år. I Tirsa styrde han i seks år.
24 Then he bought a hill from [a man named] Shemer and paid him about (150 pounds/70 kg.) of silver for it. Then Omri ordered his men to build a city on that hill, and he called it Samaria, to honor Shemer, the man who owned it previously.
Han kjøpte berget Samaria av Semer for fem våger sylv, og han bygde på berget og kalla byen som han bygde der Samaria, etter Semer, som hadde ått berget.
25 But Omri did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil deeds than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
Men Omri gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo; ja, han bar seg verre åt enn alle som hadde vore fyre honom.
26 [When] Jeroboam [was previously the king, he] had led the Israeli people to sin, and Omri committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did. The Israeli people caused Yahweh, the God the Israeli people had worshiped, to become very angry, because they worshiped worthless idols.
Han fylgde Jerobeam Nebatsson etter på alle hans vegar og i alle dei synder som han hadde fenge Israel til å gjera, so dei harma Herren, Israels Gud, med sine fånyttige avgudar.
27 Everything that Omri did, and the record of the victories that his [army] won, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Det som elles er å fortelja um Omri, um det han gjorde og um storverki hans, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.
28 After Omri died, he was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab became king.
Og Omri lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine og vart gravlagd i Samaria, og Ahab, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
29 Ahab became king of Israel when Asa had ruled Judah for almost 38 years. Ahab ruled in Samaria [city] for 22 years.
Ahab Omrison vart konge yver Israel i det åtte og trettiande året åt Juda-kongen Asa, og Ahab Omrison styrde Israel tvo og tjuge år i Samaria.
30 Ahab did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil things than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
Ahab Omrison gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, meir enn alle som hadde vore fyre honom.
31 He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did, but he did things that were worse than the things that Jeroboam did. He married [a woman named] Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, the king of Sidon [city]. Then Ahab started to worship Baal, [the god that the Canaan people-group worshiped].
Det var ikkje nok for honom at han livde i synderne til Jerobeam Nebatsson, men han tok jamvel og gifte seg med Jezabel, dotter åt sidonarkongen Etba’al, og gjekk so av stad og tente Ba’al og tilbad honom.
32 He built a temple in Samaria in order that the Israeli people could worship Baal there, and he put an altar there for [making sacrifices to] Baal.
Og han reiste eit altar for Ba’al i det Ba’als-huset som han hadde bygt i Samaria.
33 He also made an idol that represented Asherah, [Baal’s wife]. He did many more things that caused Yahweh to become angry. He did more evil things than any of the previous kings of Israel had done.
Ahab fekk ei Asjera tillaga og gjorde meir til å harma Herren, Israels Gud, enn alle Israels-kongarne som hadde vore fyre honom.
34 During the years that Ahab [ruled], Hiel, a man from Bethel [city], rebuilt Jericho [city]. But when he started to rebuild the city, his oldest son Abiram died. And [when the city was finished, ] while Hiel was building the city gates, his youngest son Segub died. They died just like Yahweh had told Joshua would happen [to the sons of anyone who would rebuild Jericho].
I hans tid bygde beteliten Hiel upp att Jeriko. Men det kosta honom eldste son hans, Abiram, å leggja grunnen; og det kosta honom yngste son hans, Segub, å setja upp portarne, etter det ord Herren hadde tala gjenom Josva Nunsson.
