1 Kongebok 15
1 I det attande styringsåret åt Jerobeam Nebatsson vart Abiam konge yver Juda.
Abijam became king of Judah in the eighteenth year of the reign of King Jeroboam, son of Nebat.
2 Tri år styrde han i Jerusalem; mor hans heitte Ma’aka Abisalomsdotter.
He reigned in Jerusalem for three years. His mother's name was Maacah, daughter of Abishalom.
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.
Abijam committed all the sins his father had before him. He was not wholly dedicated to the Lord his God as his forefather David had been.
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,
Even so, for David's sake, the Lord his God let his descendants to continue to rule like a lamp, a son to rule after him and to make Jerusalem strong.
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.
For David had done what was right in the Lord's sight, and had not deviated from anything the Lord commanded throughout his lifetime, except in the case of Uriah the Hittite.
6 Millom Rehabeam og Jerobeam var det ufred so lenge han livde.
(Rehoboam and Jeroboam were always at war with each other.)
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.
The rest of what happened in Abijam's reign and everything that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah. Abijam and Jeroboam were always at war with each other.
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.
Abijam died and was buried the City of David. His son Asa succeeded him as king.
9 I tjugande året åt Jerobeam, kongen i Israel, vart Asa konge i Juda.
Asa became king of Judah in the twentieth year of the reign of Jeroboam, king of Israel.
10 Han styrde eitt og fyrti år i Jerusalem. Hans mor heitte Ma’aka Abisalomsdotter.
He reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother's name was Maakah, daughter of Abishalom.
11 Og Asa gjorde det som rett var i Herrens augo, liksom David, far hans.
Asa did what was right in the Lord's sight, as his forefather David had done.
12 Han jaga utukt-sveinarne ut or landet, og fekk burt alle dei skarnsgudarne som far hans hadde laga.
He expelled the cult prostitutes from the land and got rid of all of the idols that his forefathers 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.
He even dismissed his grandmother Maacah as queen mother, because she had made a disgusting idol. Asa had the idol chopped down and burned in the Kidron Valley.
14 Men offerhaugarne fekk dei ikkje burt; like vel var hjarta åt Asa heilt med Herren, so lenge han livde.
Though the high places were not removed, Asa was completely committed to the Lord all his life.
15 Heilaggåvorne åt far sin og heilaggåvorne sine eigne flutte han inn i Herrens hus, sylv og gull og ymse ting.
He brought into the house of the Lord the silver and gold and the other items that he and his father had dedicated.
16 Millom Asa og Basea, kongen i Israel, var det ufred so lenge dei livde.
Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, were always at war with each other.
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.
Baasha, king of Israel, attacked Judah and fortified Ramah to stop people coming from or going to Asa, king of Judah.
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:
So Asa took all the silver and gold that was left in the treasuries of the Lord's Temple and of the royal palace. He handed it over to his servants and sent them to Ben-hadad, son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, along with this message:
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!»
“Let us make a treaty between us, just as there was between my father and your father. Look, I've sent you a gift of silver and gold. Go and break your treaty with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he will retreat and leave me alone.”
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.
Ben-hadad accepted Asa's proposal and sent his army with its commanders to attack the towns of Israel. They captured the towns of Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah, and all Kinnereth, including all the land of Naphtali.
21 Då Basea no høyrde det, slutta han med borgbyggjingi i Rama og heldt seg sidan i ro i Tirsa.
When Baasha heard about this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and retreated to Tirzah.
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.
Then King Asa issued a proclamation throughout all Judah, with no exception. The people obeyed, and carried away the stones and the timbers Baasha had used for building up Ramah. King Asa used these building materials to strengthen Geba of Benjamin, as well as Mizpah.
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.
The rest of what happened in Asa's reign, all his achievements, everything that he did, and the towns he built, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah. But when he grew old he had disease 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.
Asa died and was buried with his ancestors in the City of David. His son Jehoshaphat succeeded him as king.
25 Nadab Jerobeamsson vart konge i Israel i det andre styringsåret åt Juda-kongen Asa og rådde yver Israel i tvo år.
Nadab, son of Jeroboam became king of Israel in the second year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned in Israel for 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.
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight. He followed the ways of his father and committed the same sins his father had made Israel commit.
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.
Baasha, son of Ahijah of the tribe of Issachar, plotted a rebellion against him. Baasha murdered Nadab at the Philistine town of Gibbethon while Nadab and the whole Israelite army were besieging it.
28 Basea drap honom i det tridje styringsåret åt Juda-kongen Asa, og han vart so konge i staden hans.
Baasha killed Nadab and took over as king in the third year of the reign of King Asa of Judah.
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;
As soon as he became king he killed all the rest of Jeroboam's family. He did not leave any of Jeroboam's descendants alive—he destroyed them all, as the Lord had said through his servant Ahijah the Shilonite.
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.
This happened because of the sins Jeroboam had committed and had made Israel commit, and because he had made the Lord, the God of Israel, angry.
31 Det som elles er å fortelja um Nadab og um alt det han gjorde, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.
The rest of what happened in Nadab's reign and everything that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
32 Millom Asa og Basea, kongen i Israel, var det ufred so lenge dei livde.
Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, were always at war with each other.
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.
Baasha, son of Ahijah, became king over all of Israel in the third year of the reign of King Asa in Judah. Baasha reigned in Tirzah for twenty-four 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.
Baasha did what was evil in the Lord's sight and followed the way of Jeroboam and his sin, which he had made Israel commit.
