1 Kongebok 15
1 I det attande styringsåret åt Jerobeam Nebatsson vart Abiam konge yver Juda.
Now in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, Abiam reigned over Juda.
2 Tri år styrde han i Jerusalem; mor hans heitte Ma’aka Abisalomsdotter.
He reigned three years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Maacha the daughter of Abessalom.
3 Og han fylgde far sin i alle dei syndar som han hadde gjort fyre honom, og hjarta hans var ikkje heilt med Herren, hans Gud, som hjarta åt David, far hans, hadde vore.
And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.
4 Men for David skuld gav Herren, hans Gud, honom ei lampa i Jerusalem, med di han lyfta upp son hans etter honom og let Jerusalem få standa,
But for David’s sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:
5 for di David hadde gjort det som rett var i Herrens augo og ikkje vike ifrå noko av det han hadde bode honom, so lenge han livde, so nær som i saki med hetiten Uria.
Because David had done that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from any thing that he commanded him, all the days of his life, except the matter of Urias the Hethite.
6 Millom Rehabeam og Jerobeam var det ufred so lenge han livde.
But there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam all the time of his life.
7 Det som elles er å fortelja um Abiam og um alt det han gjorde, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Juda-kongarne. Abiam og Jerobeam låg i ufred med kvarandre.
And the rest of the words of Abiam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? And there was war between Abiam and Jeroboam.
8 Og Abiam lagde seg til kvila hjå federne sine, og dei gravlagde honom i Davidsbyen; og Asa, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
And Abiam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and Asa his son reigned in his stead.
9 I tjugande året åt Jerobeam, kongen i Israel, vart Asa konge i Juda.
So in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, reigned Asa king of Juda,
10 Han styrde eitt og fyrti år i Jerusalem. Hans mor heitte Ma’aka Abisalomsdotter.
And he reigned one and forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacha, the daughter of Abessalom.
11 Og Asa gjorde det som rett var i Herrens augo, liksom David, far hans.
And Asa did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as did David his father:
12 Han jaga utukt-sveinarne ut or landet, og fekk burt alle dei skarnsgudarne som far hans hadde laga.
And he took away the effeminate out of the land, and he removed all the filth of the idols, which his fathers had made.
13 Og jamvel mor si, Ma’aka, sette han ifrå hennar dronningrang, for di ho hadde late gjera eit styggjelegt bilæte for Asjera; Asa hogg ned det stygge bilætet hennar og brende det i Kidronsdalen.
Moreover he also removed his mother Maacha, from being the princess in the sacrifices of Priapus, and in the grove which she had consecrated to him: and he destroyed her den, and broke in pieces the filthy idol, and burnt it by the torrent Cedron:
14 Men offerhaugarne fekk dei ikkje burt; like vel var hjarta åt Asa heilt med Herren, so lenge han livde.
But the high places he did not take away. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord all his days:
15 Heilaggåvorne åt far sin og heilaggåvorne sine eigne flutte han inn i Herrens hus, sylv og gull og ymse ting.
And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and he had vowed, into the house of the Lord, silver and gold, and vessels.
16 Millom Asa og Basea, kongen i Israel, var det ufred so lenge dei livde.
And there was war between Asa, and Baasa king of Israel all their days.
17 Basea, Israels-kongen, drog upp imot Juda og bygde ei borg i Rama, av di han vilde hindra at nokon drog ut eller inn hjå Asa, kongen i Juda.
And Baasa king of Israel went up against Juda, and built Rama, that no man might go out or come in, of the side of Asa king of Juda.
18 Då tok Asa alt det sylv og gull som var att i skattkammeri i Herrens hus og i skattkammeret i kongsgarden og lagde det i handi åt tenarane sine; so sende han dei til Benhadad, son åt Tabrimmon Hezjonsson, syrarkongen, som budde i Damaskus, med dei ordi:
Then Asa took all the silver and gold that remained in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered it into the hands of his servants: and sent them to Benadad son of Tabremon the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying:
19 «Det er eit samband millom meg og deg, sameleis som millom far min og far din. Her sender eg deg ei gåva i sylv og gull. Gjer no vel og brjot sambandet ditt med Basea, Israels-kongen, so han lyt draga burt ifrå meg!»
There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: therefore I have sent thee presents of silver and gold: and I desire thee to come, and break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
20 Og Benhadad lydde kong Asa og sende herførarane sine imot byarne i Israel og herja Ijon, Dan, Abel-Bet-Ma’aka og heile Kinnerot umfram heile Naftalilandet.
Benadad hearkening to king Asa, sent the captains of his army against the cities of Israel, and they smote Ahion, and Dan, and Abeldomum Maacha, and all Cenneroth, that is all the land of Nephtali.
21 Då Basea no høyrde det, slutta han med borgbyggjingi i Rama og heldt seg sidan i ro i Tirsa.
And when Baasa had heard this, he left off building Rama, and returned into Thersa.
22 Men kong Asa baud ut heile Juda - ikkje ein var friteken - og dei tok burt steinar og trevyrke som Basea hadde bruka til byggverket i Rama; og med det gjorde no kong Asa Geba i Benjamin og Mispa til borgbyar.
But king Asa sent word into all Juda, saying: Let no man be excused: and they took away the stones from Rama, and the timber thereof wherewith Baasa had been building, and with them Asa built Gabaa of Benjamin, and Maspha.
23 Det som elles er å fortelja um Asa, um alle storverki hans og alt han gjorde, um byarne som han bygde, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Juda-kongarne. Men på sine gamle dagar fekk han ein sjukdom i føterne.
But the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his strength, and all that he did and the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
24 Og Asa lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine og vart gravlagd hjå federne sine i byen åt David, far sin. Og Josafat, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
And he slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David his father. And Josaphat his son reigned in his place.
25 Nadab Jerobeamsson vart konge i Israel i det andre styringsåret åt Juda-kongen Asa og rådde yver Israel i tvo år.
But Nadab the son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel the second year of Asa king of Juda: and he reigned over Israel two years.
26 Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo og stemnde fram på vegen til far sin og i den synd som han hadde fenge Israel til å gjera.
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin.
27 Men Basea Ahiason av Issakars hus fekk til ei samansverjing imot honom, og Basea slo honom i hel ved Gibbeton, som høyrde filistarane til; Nadab med heile Israel heldt då på å kringsette Gibbeton.
And Baasa the son of Ahias of the house of Issachar, conspired against him, and slew him in Gebbethon, which is a city of the Philistines: for Nadab and all Israel besieged Gebbethon.
28 Basea drap honom i det tridje styringsåret åt Juda-kongen Asa, og han vart so konge i staden hans.
So Baasa slew him in the third year of Asa king of Juda, and reigned in his place.
29 Og då han var konge vorten, slo han i hel heile Jerobeams hus; han let det ikkje vera att ei livande sjæl av Jerobeams hus, men gjorde ende på, etter det ord som Herren hadde tala ved tenaren sin, siloniten Ahia;
And when he was king he cut off all the house of Jeroboam: he left not so much as one soul of his seed, till he had utterly destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken in the hand of Ahias the Silonite:
30 det var for dei synder skuld som Jerobeam hadde gjort, og som han hadde fenge Israel til å gjera, og for di han soleis hadde harma Herren, Israels Gud.
Because of the sin of Jeroboam, which he had sinned, and wherewith he had made Israel to sin, and for the offence, wherewith he provoked the Lord the God of Israel.
31 Det som elles er å fortelja um Nadab og um alt det han gjorde, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.
But the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
32 Millom Asa og Basea, kongen i Israel, var det ufred so lenge dei livde.
And there was war between Asa and Baasa the king of Israel all their days.
33 I det tridje styringsåret åt Juda-kongen Asa vart Basea Ahiason konge yver heile Israel i Tirsa, og det var han i fire og tjuge år.
In the third year of Asa king of Juda, Baasa the son of Ahias reigned over all Israel, in Thersa, four and twenty years.
34 Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, og stemnde fram på Jerobeams veg og i den synd som han hadde fenge Israel til å gjera.
And he did evil before the Lord, and walked in the ways of Jeroboam, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin.
