2 Kongebok 14
1 I det andre styringsåret åt Israels-kongen Joas Joahazson vart Amasja Joasson konge i Juda.
In the second year of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the king of Israel: Amaziah, the son of Jehoash, reigned as king of Judah.
2 Fem og tjuge år gamall var han då han tok styret, og ni og tjuge år rådde han i Jerusalem. Mor hans heitte Joaddan, frå Jerusalem.
He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jehoaddin from Jerusalem.
3 Han gjorde det som rett var for Herren; um ikkje so heilt som David, ættarfar hans, so liktest han i alt på Joas, far sin.
And he did what is right before the Lord, yet truly, not like David, his father. He acted in accord with all the things that his father Jehoash did,
4 Offerhaugarne vart like vel haldne ved lag; folket heldt på og ofra slagtoffer og brende røykjelse på haugarne.
except for this alone: he did not take away the high places. For still the people were immolating, and burning incense, in the high places.
5 So snart han kjende seg trygg på magti, let han drepa dei hirdmennerne som hadde slege i hel kongen, far hans.
And when he had obtained the kingdom, he struck down those of his servants who had killed his father, the king.
6 Men borni åt dråpsmennerne drap han ikkje, etter fyreskrifti i Mose-lovboki, der Herren hev gjeve dette bodet: «Foreldre skal ikkje lata livet for det borni hev gjort; og born ikkje for det foreldri hev gjort; kvar og ein skal døy for si eigi synd.»
But the sons of those who had been killed he did not put to death, in accord with what was written in the book of the law of Moses, just as the Lord instructed, saying: “The fathers shall not die for the sons, and the sons shall not die for the fathers. Instead, each one shall die for his own sin.”
7 Han slo edomitarne i Saltdalen, ti tusund mann, og hertok Sela, som han kalla Jokte’el, eit namn det ber den dag i dag.
He struck down ten thousand men of Idumea, in the Valley of the Salt Pits. And he captured ‘the Rock’ in battle, and he called its name ‘Subdued by God,’ even to the present day.
8 Ved dette leitet sende Amasja bod til Israels-kongen Joas Joahazson, soneson åt Jehu, med dei ordi: «Kom, lat oss røyna kvarandre!»
Then Amaziah sent messengers to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, the king of Israel, saying: “Come, and let us see one another.”
9 Men Joas, kongen i Israel, sende det svaret Amasja, kongen i Juda: «Tistelen på Libanon sende bod til cederen på Libanon: Gjev dotter di til kona åt sonen min!» Men då flaug villdyri på Libanon yver tistelen og trakka honom ned.
And Joash, the king of Israel, sent a reply to Amaziah, the king of Judah, saying: “A thistle of Lebanon sent to a cedar, which is in Lebanon, saying: ‘Give your daughter as wife to my son.’ And the beasts of the forest, which are in Lebanon, passed by and trampled the thistle.
10 Visst hev du vunne på edomitarne, og dermed vert du kaut i hugen. Men njot no æra di og sit heime! Kvifor vil du leika med ulukka, til fall for deg sjølv og for folket ditt.
You have struck and prevailed over Idumea. And your heart has lifted you up. Be content with your own glory, and be seated in your own house. Why would you provoke evil, so that you would fall, and Judah with you?”
11 Men Amasja vilde ikkje høyra. So drog Israels-kongen Joas upp. Og dei fekk røyna kvarandre, han og Juda-kongen Amasja, ved Bet-Semes i Judalandet.
But Amaziah was not quieted. And so Joash, the king of Israel, went up. And he and Amaziah, the king of Judah, saw one another at Beth-shemesh, a town in Judah.
12 Juda-folket tapte for Israels-folket og rømde kvar til sitt.
And Judah was struck down before Israel, and they fled, each to their own tents.
13 Og Juda-kongen Amasja Joasson, soneson åt Ahazja, vart teken til fange der ved Bet-Semes av Israels-kongen Joas. Då dei kom til Jerusalem, reiv han ned fire hundrad alner av bymuren, frå Efraimsporten til Hyrneporten.
And truly, Joash, the king of Israel, captured Amaziah, the king of Judah, the son of Jehoash, the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh. And he brought him to Jerusalem. And he breached the wall of Jerusalem, from the gate of Ephraim as far as the gate of the Corner, four hundred cubits.
14 So tok han alt gullet og sylvet og alle kjerald som fanst i Herrens hus og i skattkammeret i kongsgarden, og dessutan gislar. Dermed snudde han heim att til Samaria.
And he took away all the gold and silver, and all the vessels, which were found in the house of the Lord and in the treasuries of the king, and he returned to Samaria with hostages.
15 Det som elles er å fortelja um Joas, um det han gjorde og um hans storverk, um krigen han førde mot Juda-kongen Amasja, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.
But the rest of the words of Joash, which he accomplished, and his strength, with which he fought against Amaziah, the king of Judah, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
16 Joas lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine og vart gravlagd i Samaria saman med Israels-kongarne. Og Jerobeam, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
And Joash slept with his fathers, and he was buried in Samaria, with the kings of Israel. And Jeroboam, his son, reigned in his place.
17 Juda-kongen Amasja Joasson livde femtan år etter Israels-kongen Joas Joahazson var dåen.
Now Amaziah, the son of Jehoash, the king of Judah, lived for fifteen years after the death of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the king of Israel.
18 Det som elles er å fortelja um Amasja, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Juda-kongarne.
And the rest of the words of Amaziah, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
19 Dei svor seg saman mot honom i Jerusalem, og han rømde til Lakis, men dei sende folk etter honom dit, og dei drap honom der.
And they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. And he fled to Lachish. And they sent after him, to Lachish, and they killed him there.
20 Dei førde liket på hesteryggen, og gravlagde honom i Jerusalem, i Davidsbyen, saman med federne hans.
And they carried him away on horses. And he was buried in Jerusalem with his fathers, in the city of David.
21 So tok heile Juda-folket Azarja, ein sekstan års gut, til konge i staden for Amasja, far hans.
Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, at sixteen years from birth, and they appointed him as king in place of his father, Amaziah.
22 Han var det som bygde upp att Elat og lagde det under Juda att, etter far hans hadde lagt seg til kvile hjå federne sine.
He built up Elath, and he restored it to Judah, after which the king slept with his fathers.
23 I det femtande styringsåret åt Juda-kongen Amasja Joasson vart Jerobeam Joasson konge yver Israel, og rådde i Samaria i eitt og fyrti år.
In the fifteenth year of Amaziah, the son of Jehoash, the king of Judah: Jeroboam, the son of Joash, the king of Israel, reigned, in Samaria, for forty-one years.
24 Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, og gav ikkje upp dei synderne Jerobeam Nebatsson hadde forført Israel til.
And he did what is evil before the Lord. He did not withdraw from all the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.
25 Han var det som vann att for Israel landviddi frå Hamatvegen til Øydemark-havet i samhøve med det ordet Herren, Israels Gud, hadde tala ved tenaren sin, profeten Jona Amittaison frå Gat-Hefer.
He restored the borders of Israel, from the entrance of Hamath as far as the Sea of the Wilderness, in accord with the word of the Lord, the God of Israel, which he spoke through his servant, the prophet Jonah, the son of Amittai, who was from Gath, which is in Hepher.
26 For Herren hadde set at Israels naud var ovleg beisk; det var ute med både ufri og fri, og det var ingen som hjelpte Israel.
For the Lord saw the exceedingly bitter affliction of Israel, and that they were being consumed, even to those who were enclosed in prison, and even to the least ones, and that there was no one who would help Israel.
27 Herren hadde ikkje sagt at han vilde strjuka ut Israels namn under himmelen; difor hjelpte han deim ved Jerobeam Joasson.
But the Lord did not say that he would wipe away the name of Israel from under heaven. So instead, he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam, the son of Joash.
28 Det som elles er å fortelja um Jerobeam, um alt det han gjorde og um hans storverk, um krigarne han førde og landevinningi for Israel som han vann att frå Damaskus og Hamat, det som fyrr hadde høyrt til Juda, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.
But the rest of the words of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his strength, with which he went to battle, and the manner in which he restored Damascus and Hamath to Judah, in Israel, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
29 Jerobeam lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine, hjå Israels-kongarne, og Zakarja, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, the kings of Israel. And Zechariah, his son, reigned in his place.
