1 Kongebok 15

1 I det attande styringsåret åt Jerobeam Nebatsson vart Abiam konge yver Juda.

Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat began Abijam to reign over Judah.

2 Tri år styrde han i Jerusalem; mor hans heitte Ma’aka Abisalomsdotter.

Three years reigned he in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Maacah the 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.

And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not whole with the LORD his God, as 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,

Nevertheless for David's sake did the LORD his God give 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 did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that He commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

6 Millom Rehabeam og Jerobeam var det ufred so lenge han livde.

Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days 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 acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam 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 Abijam 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.

And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Asa to reign over Judah.

10 Han styrde eitt og fyrti år i Jerusalem. Hans mor heitte Ma’aka Abisalomsdotter.

And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

11 Og Asa gjorde det som rett var i Herrens augo, liksom David, far hans.

And Asa did that which was right in the eyes 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 put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that 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.

And also Maacah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.

14 Men offerhaugarne fekk dei ikkje burt; like vel var hjarta åt Asa heilt med Herren, so lenge han livde.

But the high places were not taken away; nevertheless the heart of Asa was whole 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 into the house of the LORD the things that his father had hallowed, and the things that himself had hallowed, 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 Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in 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:

Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants; and king Asa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Aram, that dwelt at 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, between my father and thy father; behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; go, 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.

And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-beth-maacah, and all Chinneroth, with 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.

And it came to pass, when Baasa heard thereof, that he left off building Ramah, and dwelt in 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 made a proclamation unto all Judah; none was exempted; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasa had builded; and king Asa built therewith Geba of Benjamin, and 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.

Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 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 Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.

25 Nadab Jerobeamsson vart konge i Israel i det andre styringsåret åt Juda-kongen Asa og rådde yver Israel i tvo år.

And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, 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 that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin 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 Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasa smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.

28 Basea drap honom i det tridje styringsåret åt Juda-kongen Asa, og han vart so konge i staden hans.

Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasa slay him, and reigned in his stead.

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 it came to pass that, as soon as he was king, he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him; according unto the saying of the LORD, which He spoke by the hand of 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.

for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and wherewith he made Israel to sin; because of his provocation 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.

Now the rest of the acts of Nadab and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles 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 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 Judah began Baasa the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, and reigned twenty and 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.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
