2 Kongebok 15

1 I Israels konge Jeroboams syv og tyvende år blev Asarja, sønn av Judas konge Amasja, konge.

In the twenty and seventh year of Jerobo'am the king of Israel became 'Azaryah, the son of Amazyah king of Judah, king.

2 Han var seksten år gammel da han blev konge, og regjerte to og femti år i Jerusalem; hans mor hette Jekolja og var fra Jerusalem.

Sixteen years old was he when he became king, and two and fifty years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yecholyahu of Jerusalem.

3 Han gjorde hvad rett var i Herrens øine, aldeles som hans far Amasja hadde gjort.

And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that Amazyahu his father had done;

4 Dog blev offerhaugene ikke nedlagt; folket blev ved å ofre og brenne røkelse på haugene.

Nevertheless the high-places were not removed: as yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense on the high-places.

5 Og Herren slo kongen, så han blev spedalsk til sin dødsdag, og han bodde i et hus for sig selv; og Jotam, kongens sønn, forestod kongens hus og dømte landets folk.

And the Lord afflicted the king with leprosy, and he was a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelt in the leper-house. And Jotham the king's son was over the house, [and] judged the people of the land.

6 Hvad som ellers er å fortelle om Asarja og om alt det han gjorde, det er opskrevet i Judas kongers krønike.

And the rest of the acts of 'Azaryahu, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.

7 Og Asarja la sig til hvile hos sine fedre, og de begravde ham hos hans fedre i Davids stad, og hans sønn Jotam blev konge i hans sted.

And 'Azaryah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son became king in his stead.

8 I Judas konge Asarjas åtte og trettiende år blev Sakarja, Jeroboams sønn, konge over Israel i Samaria, og han regjerte i seks måneder.

In the thirty and eighth year of 'Azaryahu the king of Judah became Zechariah the son of Jerobo'am king over Israel in Samaria [for] six months.

9 Han gjorde hvad ondt var i Herrens øine, likesom hans fedre hadde gjort; han vek ikke fra Jeroboams, Nebats sønns synder, som han hadde fått Israel til å gjøre.

And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin.

10 Og Sallum, sønn av Jabes, fikk i stand en sammensvergelse mot ham og slo ham ihjel i folkets påsyn og blev konge i hans sted.

And Shallum the son of Yabesh conspired against him, and smote him before the people, and put him to death, and became king in his stead.

And the rest of the acts of Zechariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

12 Således gikk det ord i opfyllelse som Herren hadde talt til Jehu; han hadde sagt: Dine sønner skal sitte på Israels trone til fjerde ledd. Og så blev det.

This was the word of the Lord which he spoke unto Jehu, saying, Sons of the fourth generation shall sit after thee on the throne of Israel. And so it came to pass.

14 Da drog Menahem, Gadis sønn, op fra Tirsa og kom til Samaria og slo Sallum, Jabes' sønn, ihjel i Samaria og blev konge i hans sted.

Then went up Menachem the son of Gadi from Thirzah, and came to Samaria, and smote Shallum the son of Yabesh in Samaria, and put him to death, and became king in his stead.

And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

16 På den tid drog Menahem ut fra Tirsa og herjet Tifsah med alt der var, og hele det tilhørende land. Det var fordi byen ikke hadde åpnet portene for ham, han herjet den; alle dets fruktsommelige kvinner lot han opskjære.

At that time did Menachem smite Thiphsach, and all that was therein, and its territory from Thirzah; because they opened not to him, he smote it; and all the pregnant women therein he ripped up.

17 I Judas konge Asarjas ni og trettiende år blev Menahem, Gadis sønn, konge over Israel i Samaria, og han regjerte i ti år.

In the nine and thirtieth year of 'Azaryah the king of Judah became Menachem the son of Gadi king over Israel, [for] ten years, in Samaria.

18 Han gjorde hvad ondt var i Herrens øine; han vek ikke, så lenge han levde, fra Jeroboams, Nebats sønns synder, som han hadde fått Israel til å gjøre.

And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord: he departed not from the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin, all his days.

19 Kongen i Assyria Ful falt inn i landet; da gav Menahem Ful tusen talenter sølv forat han skulde holde med ham og trygge kongedømmet i hans hånd.

[Then] came Pul the king of Assyria against the land: and Menachem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to strengthen the kingdom in his hand.

20 Og Menahem fikk de penger han skulde gi til kongen i Assyria, inn ved å legge skatt på Israel, på alle rikmenn, femti sekel på hver. Så vendte kongen i Assyria tilbake og blev ikke lenger i landet.

And Menachem exacted the money from all Israel, from all the mighty men of the army, to give to the king of Assyria, fifty shekels of silver from every man; and the king of Assyria then returned and stayed not there in the land.

And Pekach the son of Remalyahu, an officer of his, conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the fortress of the king's house, with the aid of Argob and the Aryeh, and with him were fifty men of the children of the Gil'adites: and he put him to death, and became king in his stead.

In the days of Pekach the king of Israel came Tiglath-pilesser the king of Assyria, and took 'Iyon, and Abel-beth, ma'achah, and Yanoach, and Kedesh, and Chazor, and Gil'ad, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and led them away as exiles to Assyria.
