2 Kings 14
1 In the second year of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, began to reign.
I det andre styringsåret åt Israels-kongen Joas Joahazson vart Amasja Joasson konge i Juda.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.
Fem og tjuge år gamall var han då han tok styret, og ni og tjuge år rådde han i Jerusalem. Mor hans heitte Joaddan, frå Jerusalem.
3 He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, yet not like David his father. He did everything that Joash, his father, had done.
Han gjorde det som rett var for Herren; um ikkje so heilt som David, ættarfar hans, so liktest han i alt på Joas, far sin.
4 But the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense at the high places.
Offerhaugarne vart like vel haldne ved lag; folket heldt på og ofra slagtoffer og brende røykjelse på haugarne.
5 It came about that as soon as his rule was well established, he killed the servants who had murdered his father, the king.
So snart han kjende seg trygg på magti, let han drepa dei hirdmennerne som hadde slege i hel kongen, far hans.
6 Yet he did not put the sons of the murderers to death; instead, he acted according to what was written in the Book of the Law Moses, as Yahweh had commanded, saying, “The fathers must not be put to death for their children, neither must the children be put to death for their parents. Instead, every person must be put to death for his own sin.”
Men borni åt dråpsmennerne drap han ikkje, etter fyreskrifti i Mose-lovboki, der Herren hev gjeve dette bodet: «Foreldre skal ikkje lata livet for det borni hev gjort; og born ikkje for det foreldri hev gjort; kvar og ein skal døy for si eigi synd.»
7 He killed ten thousand soldiers of Edom in the Valley of Salt; he also took Sela in war and called it Joktheel, which is what it is called to this day.
Han slo edomitarne i Saltdalen, ti tusund mann, og hertok Sela, som han kalla Jokte’el, eit namn det ber den dag i dag.
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us meet each other face to face in battle.”
Ved dette leitet sende Amasja bod til Israels-kongen Joas Joahazson, soneson åt Jehu, med dei ordi: «Kom, lat oss røyna kvarandre!»
9 But Jehoash the king of Israel sent messengers back to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “A thistle that was in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, 'Give your daughter to my son for a wife,' but a wild beast in Lebanon walked by and trampled down the thistle.
Men Joas, kongen i Israel, sende det svaret Amasja, kongen i Juda: «Tistelen på Libanon sende bod til cederen på Libanon: Gjev dotter di til kona åt sonen min!» Men då flaug villdyri på Libanon yver tistelen og trakka honom ned.
10 You have indeed attacked Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Take pride in your victory, but stay at home, for why should you cause yourself trouble and fall, both you and Judah with you?”
Visst hev du vunne på edomitarne, og dermed vert du kaut i hugen. Men njot no æra di og sit heime! Kvifor vil du leika med ulukka, til fall for deg sjølv og for folket ditt.
11 But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel attacked and he and Amaziah king of Judah met each other face to face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
Men Amasja vilde ikkje høyra. So drog Israels-kongen Joas upp. Og dei fekk røyna kvarandre, han og Juda-kongen Amasja, ved Bet-Semes i Judalandet.
12 Judah was defeated by Israel, and every man fled home.
Juda-folket tapte for Israels-folket og rømde kvar til sitt.
13 Jehoash king of Israel, captured Amaziah, king of Judah son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh. He came to Jerusalem and tore down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits in distance.
Og Juda-kongen Amasja Joasson, soneson åt Ahazja, vart teken til fange der ved Bet-Semes av Israels-kongen Joas. Då dei kom til Jerusalem, reiv han ned fire hundrad alner av bymuren, frå Efraimsporten til Hyrneporten.
14 He took all the gold and silver, all the objects that were found in the house of Yahweh, and the valuable things in the king's palace, with hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
So tok han alt gullet og sylvet og alle kjerald som fanst i Herrens hus og i skattkammeret i kongsgarden, og dessutan gislar. Dermed snudde han heim att til Samaria.
15 As for the other matters concerning Jehoash, all that he did, his power, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
Det som elles er å fortelja um Joas, um det han gjorde og um hans storverk, um krigen han førde mot Juda-kongen Amasja, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.
16 Then Jehoash slept with his ancestors and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel, and Jeroboam, his son, became king in his place.
Joas lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine og vart gravlagd i Samaria saman med Israels-kongarne. Og Jerobeam, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
17 Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, lived fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
Juda-kongen Amasja Joasson livde femtan år etter Israels-kongen Joas Joahazson var dåen.
18 As for the other matters concerning Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?
Det som elles er å fortelja um Amasja, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Juda-kongarne.
19 They made a conspiracy against Amaziah in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. He fled to Lachish, but they sent men after him to Lachish and killed him there.
Dei svor seg saman mot honom i Jerusalem, og han rømde til Lakis, men dei sende folk etter honom dit, og dei drap honom der.
20 They brought him back on horses, and he was buried with his ancestors in the city of David.
Dei førde liket på hesteryggen, og gravlagde honom i Jerusalem, i Davidsbyen, saman med federne hans.
21 All the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
So tok heile Juda-folket Azarja, ein sekstan års gut, til konge i staden for Amasja, far hans.
22 It was Azariah who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah, after King Amaziah slept with his ancestors.
Han var det som bygde upp att Elat og lagde det under Juda att, etter far hans hadde lagt seg til kvile hjå federne sine.
23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam son of Jehoash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria; he reigned forty-one years.
I det femtande styringsåret åt Juda-kongen Amasja Joasson vart Jerobeam Joasson konge yver Israel, og rådde i Samaria i eitt og fyrti år.
24 He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh. He did not depart from any of the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin.
Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, og gav ikkje upp dei synderne Jerobeam Nebatsson hadde forført Israel til.
25 He restored the border of Israel from Lebo Hamath to the Sea of the Arabah, following the commands of the word of Yahweh, the God of Israel, which he had spoken through his servant Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet, who was from Gath Hepher.
Han var det som vann att for Israel landviddi frå Hamatvegen til Øydemark-havet i samhøve med det ordet Herren, Israels Gud, hadde tala ved tenaren sin, profeten Jona Amittaison frå Gat-Hefer.
26 For Yahweh saw the suffering of Israel, that it was very bitter for everyone, both slave and free, and that there was no rescuer for Israel.
For Herren hadde set at Israels naud var ovleg beisk; det var ute med både ufri og fri, og det var ingen som hjelpte Israel.
27 So Yahweh said that he would not blot out the name of Israel under heaven; instead, he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash.
Herren hadde ikkje sagt at han vilde strjuka ut Israels namn under himmelen; difor hjelpte han deim ved Jerobeam Joasson.
28 As for the other matters concerning Jeroboam, all that he did, his power, how he waged war and recovered Damascus and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
Det som elles er å fortelja um Jerobeam, um alt det han gjorde og um hans storverk, um krigarne han førde og landevinningi for Israel som han vann att frå Damaskus og Hamat, det som fyrr hadde høyrt til Juda, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.
29 Jeroboam slept with his ancestors, with the kings of Israel, and Zechariah his son became king in his place.
Jerobeam lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine, hjå Israels-kongarne, og Zakarja, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
