2 Kongebok 15

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

In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah began to reign.

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.

Azariah was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jekoliah, and she was from Jerusalem.

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

He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, just as his father Amaziah had done.

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

However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense at 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.

Yahweh afflicted the king so that he was a leper to the day of his death and lived in a separate house. Jotham, the king's son, was over the household and ruled 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.

As for the other matters concerning Azariah, all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events 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.

So Azariah slept with his ancestors; they buried him with his ancestors in the city of David. Jotham, his son, became king in his place.

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-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, Zechariah son of Jeroboam reigned 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.

He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as his fathers had done. He did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused 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.

Shallum son of Jabesh conspired against Zechariah, attacked him in Ibleam, and killed him. Then he became king in his place.

11 Hvad som ellers er å fortelle om Sakarja, det er opskrevet i Israels kongers krønike.

As for the other matters concerning Zechariah, they are written in the book of the events 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 Yahweh that he spoke to Jehu, saying, “Your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.” That is what happened.

13 Sallum, sønn av Jabes, blev konge i Judas konge Ussias' ni og trettiende år og regjerte en måneds tid i Samaria.

Shallum son of Jabesh began to reign in the thirty-ninth year of Azariah king of Judah, and he reigned only one month in Samaria.

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.

Menahem son of Gadi went up from Tirzah to Samaria. There he attacked Shallum son of Jabesh, in Samaria. He killed him and became king in his place.

15 Hvad som ellers er å fortelle om Sallum og om den sammensvergelse han fikk i stand, det er opskrevet i Israels kongers krønike.

As for the other matters concerning Shallum and the conspiracy that he formed, they are written in the book of the events 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.

Then Menahem attacked Tiphsah and all who were there, and the borders around Tirzah, because they did not open up the city to him. So he attacked it, and he ripped open all the pregnant women in that village.

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 thirty-ninth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem son of Gadi began to reign over Israel; he reigned 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.

He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh. For his whole life, he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin.

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 Pul the king of Assyria came against the land, and Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents of silver, so that Pul's support might be with him to strengthen the kingdom of Israel 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.

Menahem exacted this money from Israel by requiring each of the wealthy men to pay fifty shekels of silver to him to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back and did not stay there in the land.

21 Hvad som ellers er å fortelle om Menahem og om alt det han gjorde, det er opskrevet i Israels kongers krønike.

As for the other matters concerning Menahem, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?

22 Og Menahem la sig til hvile hos sine fedre, og hans sønn Pekahja blev konge i hans sted.

So Menahem slept with his ancestors, and Pekahiah his son became king in his place.

23 I Judas konge Asarjas femtiende år blev Pekahja, Menahems sønn, konge over Israel i Samaria, og han regjerte i to år.

In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekahiah son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria; he reigned two years.

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

He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh. He did not leave behind the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, by which he had caused Israel to sin.

25 Og Pekah, sønn av hans høvedsmann Remalja, fikk i stand en sammensvergelse mot ham og slo ham ihjel i Samaria i borgen i kongens hus og tillike Argob og Arje; han hadde med sig femti mann av gileadittene; og da han hadde drept ham, blev han konge i hans sted.

Pekahiah had an officer named Pekah son of Remaliah, who conspired against him. Along with fifty men of Gilead, Pekah killed Pekahiah as well as Argob and Arieh in Samaria, in the citadel of the king's palace. Pekah killed Pekahiah and became king in his place.

26 Hvad som ellers er å fortelle om Pekahja og om alt det han gjorde, det er opskrevet i Israels kongers krønike.

He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh. He did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin.

29 I Israels konge Pekahs dager kom kongen i Assyria Tiglat-Pileser og tok Ijon og Abel-Bet-Ma'aka og Janoah og Kedes og Hasor og Gilead og Galilea, hele Naftalis land; og han bortførte innbyggerne til Assyria.

In the days of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria came and took Ijon, Abel Beth Maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, Galilee, and all the land of Naphtali. He carried away the people to Assyria.

30 Og Hosea, Elas sønn, fikk i stand en sammensvergelse mot Pekah, Remaljas sønn, og slo ham ihjel og blev konge i hans sted i Jotams, Ussias' sønns tyvende år.

So Hoshea son of Elah formed a conspiracy against Pekah son of Remaliah. He attacked him and killed him. Then he became king in his place, in the twentieth year of Jotham son of Uzziah.

He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jerushah; she was the daughter of Zadok.

34 Han gjorde hvad rett var i Herrens øine; han gjorde aldeles som sin far Ussias.

Jotham did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh. He followed the example of all his father Azariah had done.

35 Dog blev offerhaugene ikke nedlagt; folket blev ved å ofre og brenne røkelse på haugene. Det var han som bygget den øvre port i Herrens hus.

However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense at the high places. Jotham built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh.

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

As for the other matters concerning Jotham, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?

37 I de dager begynte Herren å sende kongen i Syria Resin og Pekah, Remaljas sønn, mot Juda.

In those days Yahweh began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Aram, and Pekah son of Remaliah.

38 Og Jotam la sig til hvile hos sine fedre og blev begravet hos sine fedre i sin far Davids stad, og hans sønn Akas blev konge i hans sted.
