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.

He was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

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

He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that 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 burnt incense in 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.

The LORD struck 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, judging 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.

Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, aren’t they 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.

Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in David’s city; and Jotham his son reigned 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 the son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel in Samaria 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 that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as his fathers had done. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made 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 the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and struck him before the people and killed him, and reigned in his place.

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

Now 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 LORD’s word which he spoke to Jehu, saying, “Your sons to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.” So it came to pass.

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

Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah king of Judah, and he reigned for a 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 the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, came to Samaria, struck Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, killed him, and reigned 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.

Now 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.

Then Menahem attacked Tiphsah and all who were in it and its border areas, from Tirzah. He attacked it because they didn’t open their gates to him, and he ripped up all their women who were with child.

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 the son of Gadi began to reign 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.

He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight. He didn’t depart all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made 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.

Pul the king of Assyria came against the land, and Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm 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.

Menahem exacted the money from Israel, even from all the mighty men of wealth, from each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and didn’t 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.

Now the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

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

Menahem slept with his fathers, and Pekahiah his son reigned 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 the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria for 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 that which was evil in the LORD’s sight. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made 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.

Pekah the son of Remaliah, his captain, conspired against him and attacked him in Samaria, in the fortress of the king’s house, with Argob and Arieh; and with him were fifty men of the Gileadites. He killed him, and reigned 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.

Now the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made 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, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali; and he carried them captive 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.

Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, attacked him, killed him, and reigned in his place, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah.

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

Now the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

32 I Israels konge Pekahs, Remaljas sønns annet år blev Jotam, sønn av Judas konge Ussias, konge.

In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel, Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah began to reign.

He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok.

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

He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes. He did according to all that his father Uzziah 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 burnt incense in the high places. He built the upper gate of the LORD’s house.

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

Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles 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, the LORD began to send Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah against Judah.
