1 Kongebok 15

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

And in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam has reigned over Judah;

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

he has reigned three years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Maachah 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 walks in all the sins of his father that he did before him, and his heart has not been perfect with his God YHWH, as the heart of his father David;

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 his God YHWH has given to him a lamp in Jerusalem, to raise 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.

in that David did that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH, and did not turn aside from all that He commanded him all [the] days of his life—except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite;

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

and there has been 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 matters of Abijam and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? And there has been 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 lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the City of David, and his son Asa reigns 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, Asa has reigned over Judah,

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

and he has reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Maachah daughter of Abishalom.

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

And Asa does that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH, like his father David,

12 Han jaga utukt-sveinarne ut or landet, og fekk burt alle dei skarnsgudarne som far hans hadde laga.

and removes the whoremongers out of the land, and turns aside all the idols that his fathers 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 his mother Maachah—he turns her aside from being mistress, in that she made a horrible thing for an Asherah, and Asa cuts down her horrible thing, and burns [it] by the Brook of 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 have not been removed; only, the heart of Asa has been perfect with YHWH [for] 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 brings in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of YHWH: silver, and gold, and vessels.

16 Millom Asa og Basea, kongen i Israel, var det ufred so lenge dei livde.

And there has been war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel [for] 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 Baasha king of Israel goes up against Judah, and builds Ramah, not to permit anyone going out and coming 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:

And Asa takes all the silver and the gold that are left in the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the house of the king, and gives them into the hand of his servants, and King Asa sends them to Ben-Hadad, son of Tabrimmon, son of Hezion king of Aram, who is dwelling 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!»

“A covenant [is] between me and you, between my father and your father; behold, I have sent a reward of silver and gold to you; go, break your covenant with Baasha king of Israel, and he goes up from off 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 listens to King Asa, and sends the heads of the forces that he has against cities of Israel, and strikes Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Beth-Maachah, and all Chinneroth, besides 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 comes to pass at Baasha’s hearing, that he ceases from building Ramah, and dwells 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.

And King Asa has summoned all Judah—there is none exempt—and they lift up the stones of Ramah, and its wood, that Baasha has built, and King Asa builds with them 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.

And the rest of all the matters of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? Only, at 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 lies with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the city of his father David, and his son Jehoshaphat reigns 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 son of Jeroboam has reigned over Israel, in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigns 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 does evil in the eyes of YHWH, and goes in the way of his father, and in his sin that 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 Baasha son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspires against him, and Baasha strikes him in Gibbethon, which [belonged] to the Philistines—and Nadab and all Israel are laying siege against Gibbethon—

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

indeed, Baasha puts him to death in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigns 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 comes to pass, at his reigning, he has struck the whole house of Jeroboam, he has not left any breathing to Jeroboam until his destroying him, according to the word of YHWH, that 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.

because of the sins of Jeroboam that he sinned, and that he caused Israel to sin, by his provocation with which he provoked YHWH, God of Israel, to anger.

31 Det som elles er å fortelja um Nadab og um alt det han gjorde, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.

And the rest of the matters of Nadab and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll 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 has been war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel [for] 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, Baasha son of Ahijah has reigned over all Israel in Tirzah, 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.

and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, and walks in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin that he caused Israel to sin.
