1 Kings 15

1 And in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam son of Nebat, reigned hath Abijam over Judah;

Og i det attende Kong Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Aar blev Abiam Konge over Juda.

2 three years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Maachah daughter of Abishalom;

Han regerede tre Aar i Jerusalem, og hans Moders Navn var Maeka, Abisaloms Datter.

3 and he walketh in all the sins of his father, that he did before him, and his heart hath not been perfect with Jehovah his God, as the heart of David his father;

Og han vandrede i alle sin Faders Synder, som han gjorde før ham, og hans Hjerte var ikke helt med Herren hans Gud, som Davids, hans Faders, Hjerte.

4 but for David's sake hath Jehovah his God given to him a lamp in Jerusalem, to raise up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem,

Men Herren hans Gud gav ham et Lys i Jerusalem for Davids Skyld, ved at han oprejste hans Søn efter ham og lod Jerusalem bestaa;

5 in that David did that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah, and turned not aside from all that He commanded him all days of his life — only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite;

fordi David gjorde det, som ret var for Herrens Øjne, og veg ikke fra alt det, som han bød ham, alle sine Livs Dage, uden i den Handel med Hethiteren Uria.

6 and war hath been between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

Og der var Krig imellem Roboam og imellem Jeroboam alle hans Livs Dage.

7 And the rest of the matters of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? And war hath been between Abijam and Jeroboam;

Men det øvrige af Abiams Handeler og alt det, som han har gjort, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog? Og der var Krig imellem Abiam og Jeroboam.

8 and Abijam lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of David, and reign doth Asa his son in his stead.

Og Abiam laa med sine Fædre, og de begrove ham i Davids Stad, og Asa, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.

9 And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned hath Asa over Judah,

Og i det tyvende Jeroboams, Israels Konges, Aar blev Asa Konge over Juda.

10 and forty and one years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Maachah daughter of Abishalom.

Og han regerede et og fyrretyve Aar i Jerusalem, og hans Moders Navn var Maeka, Abisaloms Datter.

11 And Asa doth that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah, like David his father,

Og Asa gjorde det, som ret var for Herrens Øjne, som David hans Fader.

12 and removeth the whoremongers out of the land, and turneth aside all the idols that his fathers made;

Og han fordrev Skørlevnerne af Landet og bortskaffede alle stygge Afguder, som hans Fædre havde gjort.

13 and also Maachah his mother — he turneth her aside from being mistress, in that she made a horrible thing for a shrine, and Asa cutteth down her horrible thing, and burneth [it] by the brook Kidron;

Tilmed afsatte han Maeka, sin Moder, at hun ikke skulde være Dronning, fordi hun havde gjort sig et grueligt Billede af Astarte, og Asa udryddede hendes gruelige Billede og opbrændte det ved Kedrons Bæk.

14 and the high places have not turned aside; only, the heart of Asa hath been perfect with Jehovah all his days,

Men Højene toges ikke bort; dog var Asas Hjerte helt med Herren alle hans Dage.

15 and he bringeth in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of Jehovah, silver, and gold, and vessels.

Og ban førte de Ting, som hans Fader havde helliget, og hvad som han selv havde helliget, ind i Herrens Hus, Sølv og Guld og Kar.

16 And war hath been between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days,

Og der var Krig mellem Asa og Baesa, Israels Konge, alle deres Dage.

17 and Baasha king of Israel goeth up against Judah, and buildeth Ramah, not to permit any one going out and coming in to Asa king of Judah.

Thi Baesa, Israels Konge, drog op imod Juda og byggede Rama, for ikke at tilstede Asa, Judas Konge, at nogen drog ud eller kom ind.

18 And Asa taketh all the silver and the gold that are left in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the house of the king, and giveth them into the hand of his servants, and king Asa sendeth them unto Ben-Hadad, son of Tabrimmon, son of Hezion king of Aram, who is dwelling in Damascus, saying,

Da tog Asa alt det Sølv og Guld, de Ting, som vare blevne tilovers af Herrens Hus's Liggendefæ og af Kongens Hus's Liggendefæ, og gav sine Tjenere dem i Hænderne, og Kong Asa sendte dem til Benhadad, en Søn af Tabrimmon, Hesions Søn, Kongen i Syrien, som boede i Damaskus og lod sige:

19 'A covenant [is] between me and thee, between my father and thy father; lo, I have sent to thee a reward of silver and gold; go, break thy covenant with Baasha king of Israel, and he goeth up from off me.'

Der er en Pagt imellem mig og imellem dig, imellem min Fader og imellem din Fader, se, jeg sender dig Skænk, Sølv og Guld, drag hen, gør til intet din Pagt med Baesa, Israels Konge, at han maa drage op fra mig.

20 And Ben-Hadad hearkeneth unto king Asa, and sendeth the heads of the forces that he hath against cities of Israel, and smiteth Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Beth-Maachah, and all Chinneroth, besides all the land of Naphtali;

Og Benhadad adlød Kong Asa og sendte de Hærførere, som han havde, imod Israels Stæder og slog Ijon og Dan og Abel-Beth-Maaka og hele Kinneroth, tillige med alt Nafthalis Land.

21 and it cometh to pass at Baasha's hearing, that he ceaseth from building Ramah, and dwelleth in Tirzah.

Og det skete, der Baesa hørte det, da lod han af fra at bygge Rama og blev i Thirza.

22 And king Asa hath summoned all Judah — there is none exempt — and they lift up the stones of Ramah, and its wood, that Baasha hath built, and king Asa buildeth with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

Saa lod Kong Asa hele Juda opbyde, der blev ingen fri, og de toge Stenene bort af Rama tillige med Tømmeret der, som Baesa havde bygget med, og Kong Asa byggede dermed Geba i Benjamin og Mizpa.

23 And the rest of all the matters of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? Only, at the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet;

Men det øvrige af alle Asas Han deler og al hans Vælde og alt, hvad han har gjort, og de Stæder, som han har bygget, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog? Dog i sin Alderdoms Tid blev han syg i sine Fødder.

24 and Asa lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the city of David his father, and Jehoshaphat his son reigneth in his stead.

Og Asa laa med sine Fædre og blev begraven med sine Fædre i Davids, sin Faders Stad, og Josafat, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.

25 And Nadab son of Jeroboam hath reigned over Israel, in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigneth over Israel two years,

Og Nadab, Jeroboams Søn, blev Konge over Israel i det andet Asas, Judas Konges, Aar og regerede over Israel to Aar.

26 and doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and goeth in the way of his father, and in his sin that he made Israel to sin.

Og han gjorde det onde for Herrens Øjne og vandrede i sin Faders Veje og i hans Synd, som han kom Israel til at synde med.

27 And conspire against him doth Baasha son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, and Baasha smiteth him in Gibbethon, which [is] to the Philistines — and Nadab and all Israel are laying siege against Gibbethon —

Men Baesa, Ahias Søn, af Isaskars Hus, gjorde et Forbund imod ham, og Baesa slog ham ved Gibbethon, som hørte Filisterne til, der Nadab og al Israel belejrede Gibbethon.

28 yea, Baasha putteth him to death in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigneth in his stead.

Og Baesa slog ham ihjel i det tredje Asas, Judas Konges, Aar og blev Konge i hans Sted.

29 And it cometh to pass, at his reigning, he hath smitten the whole house of Jeroboam, he hath not left any breathing to Jeroboam till his destroying him, according to the word of Jehovah, that He spake by the hand of His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,

Og det skete, der han var Konge, da slog han hele Jeroboams Hus, han lod ikke nogen af Jeroboams blive tilovers, som havde Aande, indtil han havde ødelagt ham, efter Herrens Ord, som han talte ved Siloniteren Ahia, sin Tjener,

30 because of the sins of Jeroboam that he sinned, and that he caused Israel to sin, by his provocation with which he provoked to anger Jehovah, God of Israel.

for Jeroboams Synders Skyld, som han syndede med, og som han kom Israel til at synde med, og for den Opirrelse, med hvilken han opirrede Herren, Israels Gud.

31 And the rest of the matters of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?

Men det øvrige af Nadabs Handeler, og alt det, som han har gjort, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Israels Kongers Krønikers Bog?

32 And war hath been between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

Og der var Krig imellem Asa og imellem Baesa, Israels Konge, alle deres Dage.

33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah reigned hath Baasha son of Ahijah over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years,

I det tredje Asas, Judas Konges, Aar blev Baesa, Ahias Søn, Konge over al Israel i Thirza, fire og tyve Aar.

34 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and walketh in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin that he caused Israel to sin.

Og han gjorde det onde for Her-Tens Øjne og vandrede i Jeroboams Vej og i hans Synd, som han kom Israel til at synde med.
