1 Kongebok 16

1 Og Herrens ord kom til Jehu Hananison um Baesa, soleis:

Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu, the son of Hanani, against Baasha, saying:

2 «Eg hev lyft deg upp or moldi og sett deg til hovding yver Israel, folket mitt. Men du hev fare der Jerobeam for, og fenge Israel, folket mitt, til å synda, so dei hev harma meg med synderne sine.

“Even though I exalted you from the dust, and I set you as ruler over my people Israel, still you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and you have caused my people Israel to sin, so that you have provoked me by their sins.

3 Difor vil eg sopa etter Baesa og huset hans; eg vil gjera med ditt hus som eg gjorde med huset åt Jerobeam Nebatsson.

Behold, I will cut down the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house. And I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.

4 Den av huset åt Baesa som døyr i byen, skal hundarne eta upp, og den av huset hans som døyr utpå marki, skal fuglarne under himmelen eta upp.»

Whoever will have died of Baasha in the city, the dogs will consume him. And whoever will have died of him in the countryside, the birds of the air will consume him.”

5 Det som elles er å fortelja um Baesa og um det han gjorde, um storverki hans, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.

Now the rest of the words of Baasha, and whatever he did, and his battles, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

6 Og Baesa lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine og vart gravlagd i Tirsa, og Ela, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.

Then Baasha slept with his fathers, and he was buried at Tirzah. And Elah, his son, reigned in his place.

7 Men gjenom profeten Jehu Hananison var Herrens ord kome til Baesa og huset hans både for alt det han gjorde som Herren mislika, då han harma honom med det som henderne hans gjorde i likskap med Jerobeams hus, og for det at han hadde slege dette i hel.

And when the word of the Lord had arrived by the hand of the prophet Jehu, the son of Hanani, against Baasha, and against his house, and against every evil that he had done before the Lord, so that he provoked him by the works of his hands, so that he became like the house of Jeroboam: for this reason, he killed him, that is, the prophet Jehu, the son of Hanani.

8 I det seks og tjugande året åt Juda-kongen Asa vart Ela Baesason konge yver Israel i Tirsa, og det var han i tvo år.

In the twenty-sixth year of Asa, the king of Judah, Elah, the son of Baasha, reigned over Israel, at Tirzah, for two years.

9 Då fekk ein av tenarane hans, Zimri, hovdingen for helvti av vognerne, til ei samansverjing imot honom, og ein gong han hadde teke seg eit rus i Tirsa, i huset åt Arsa, drottseten i Tirsa,

And his servant Zimri, the commander of one half part of the horsemen, rebelled against him. Now Elah was drinking at Tirzah, and he became inebriated in the house of Arza, the prefect of Tirzah.

10 kom Zimri dit og slo han i hel - det var i sju og tjugande året åt Juda-kongen Asa - og so vart han sjølv konge i staden hans.

Then Zimri, rushing in, struck him and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa, the king of Judah. And he reigned in his place.

11 Og då han hadde vorte konge og var komen på kongsstolen sin, tynte han heile huset åt Baesa; han let det ikkje vera att nokon karmann, men drap jamvel skyldfolk og vener til honom.

And when he had reigned and had sat upon his throne, he struck down the entire house of Baasha. And he did not leave behind of them anything that urinates against a wall, among both close relatives and his friends.

12 So rudde Zimri ut heile huset åt Baesa, etter det ord som Herren hadde tala til Baesa gjenom profeten Jehu,

And so, Zimri destroyed the entire house of Baasha, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken to Baasha, by the hand the prophet of Jehu,

13 for alle dei synder skuld som Baesa og Ela, son hans, hadde gjort, og som dei hadde fenge Israel til å gjera, so dei harma Herren, Israels Gud, med dei fånyttige avgudarne sine.

because of all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah, his son, who sinned and caused Israel to sin, provoking the Lord, the God of Israel, with their vanities.

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

But the rest of the words of Elah, and all that he did, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

15 I det sju og tjugande året åt Juda-kongen Asa vart Zimri konge i sju dagar i Tirsa, den gongen folket kringsette Gibbeton, som tilhøyrde filistarane.

In the twenty-seventh year of Asa, the king of Judah, Zimri reigned for seven days in Tirzah. For the army was besieging Gibbethon, a city of the Philistines.

16 Då folket som låg i lægret, høyrde at Zimri hadde fenge til ei samansverjing og jamvel slege kongen i hel, gjorde heile Israel den israelitiske herføraren Omri til konge i lægret same dagen.

And when they had heard that Zimri had rebelled, and that he had killed the king, all of Israel made Omri as a king for themselves; he was the leader of the military over Israel in the encampment in that day.

17 Og Omri tok upp ifrå Gibbeton og heile Israel med honom, og dei kringsette Tirsa.

Therefore, Omri ascended, and all of Israel with him, from Gibbethon, and they besieged Tirzah.

18 Og då Zimri såg at byen var teken, gjekk han inn i borgi i kongsgarden og sette eld på kongsgarden yver seg og døydde soleis,

Then Zimri, seeing that the city was about to be taken, entered the palace, and he set fire to himself along with the royal house. And he died

19 for dei synder han hadde gjort, med di han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo og stemnde fram på Jerobeams veg og i den synd som han hadde gjort og fenge Israel til å gjera.

in his sins, which he had sinned, doing evil before the Lord, and walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin, by which he caused Israel to sin.

20 Det som elles er å fortelja um Zimri og um den samansverjingi som han fekk til, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.

But the rest of the words of Zimri, and of his treachery and tyranny, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

21 No kløydest Israels-folket seg i tvo flokkar; den eine helvti av folket heldt med Tibni Ginatsson og gjorde honom til konge, men den andre helvti heldt seg til Omri.

Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts: one half part of the people followed Tibni, the son of Ginath, having appointed him as king, and one half part followed Omri.

22 Og den flokken som heldt med Omri, vart for sterk for deim som heldt med Tibni Ginatsson, og då Tibni døydde, vart Omri konge.

But the people who were with Omri prevailed over the people who were following Tibni, the son of Ginath. And Tibni died, and Omri reigned.

23 I det eitt og trettiande året åt Juda-kongen Asa vart Omri konge i Israel, og det var han i tolv år. I Tirsa styrde han i seks år.

In the thirty-first year of Asa, the king of Judah, Omri reigned over Israel for twelve years; he reigned for six years at Tirzah.

24 Han kjøpte berget Samaria av Semer for fem våger sylv, og han bygde på berget og kalla byen som han bygde der Samaria, etter Semer, som hadde ått berget.

And he bought the mount of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver. And he built upon it, and he called the name of the city that he had built, Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the mount.

25 Men Omri gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo; ja, han bar seg verre åt enn alle som hadde vore fyre honom.

But Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord, and he wrought wickedness, beyond all who had been before him.

26 Han fylgde Jerobeam Nebatsson etter på alle hans vegar og i alle dei synder som han hadde fenge Israel til å gjera, so dei harma Herren, Israels Gud, med sine fånyttige avgudar.

And he walked in all the ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and in his sins, by which he had caused Israel to sin, so that he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, by their vanities.

27 Det som elles er å fortelja um Omri, um det han gjorde og um storverki hans, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.

Now the rest of the words of Omri, and his battles that he carried out, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

28 Og Omri lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine og vart gravlagd i Samaria, og Ahab, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.

And Omri slept with his fathers, and he was buried in Samaria. And Ahab, his son, reigned in his place.

29 Ahab Omrison vart konge yver Israel i det åtte og trettiande året åt Juda-kongen Asa, og Ahab Omrison styrde Israel tvo og tjuge år i Samaria.

Truly, Ahab, the son of Omri, reigned over Israel in the thirty-eighth year of Asa, the king of Judah. And Ahab, the son of Omri, reigned over Israel at Samaria for twenty-two years.

30 Ahab Omrison gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, meir enn alle som hadde vore fyre honom.

And Ahab, the son of Omri, did evil in the sight of the Lord, beyond all who had been before him.

31 Det var ikkje nok for honom at han livde i synderne til Jerobeam Nebatsson, men han tok jamvel og gifte seg med Jezabel, dotter åt sidonarkongen Etba’al, og gjekk so av stad og tente Ba’al og tilbad honom.

And it was not enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat. In addition, he took as a wife Jezebel, the daughter of Eth-baal, the king of the Sidonians. And he went astray, and he served Baal, and adored him.

32 Og han reiste eit altar for Ba’al i det Ba’als-huset som han hadde bygt i Samaria.

And he set up an altar for Baal, in the temple of Baal, which he had built at Samaria.

33 Ahab fekk ei Asjera tillaga og gjorde meir til å harma Herren, Israels Gud, enn alle Israels-kongarne som hadde vore fyre honom.

And he planted a sacred grove. And Ahab added to his works, provoking the Lord, the God of Israel, beyond all the kings of Israel who had been before him.

34 I hans tid bygde beteliten Hiel upp att Jeriko. Men det kosta honom eldste son hans, Abiram, å leggja grunnen; og det kosta honom yngste son hans, Segub, å setja upp portarne, etter det ord Herren hadde tala gjenom Josva Nunsson.

In his days, Hiel from Bethel built up Jericho. With Abiram, his firstborn, he founded it, and with Segub, his youngest son, he set up its gates, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the hand of Joshua, the son of Nun.
