2 Kongebok 15

1 I det sju og tjugande styringsåret åt Israels-kongen Jerobeam vart Azarja Amasjason konge i Juda.

In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah began to reign.

2 Sekstan år gamall var han då han vart konge, og tvo og femti år rådde han i Jerusalem. Mor hans heitte Jekolja, frå Jerusalem.

He was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

3 Han gjorde det som rett var for Herren, plent som Amasja, far hans, hadde gjort.

He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

4 Like vel vart offerhaugarne halde ved lag; folket held ved å ofra slagtoffer og brenna røykjelse på haugarne.

However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.

5 Herren hemsøkte kongen, so han vart spillsjuk til sin døydande dag; og han budde i eit hus for seg sjølv. Jotam, kongssonen, stod fyre kongehuset og styrde landslyden.

The LORD struck the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house. Jotham, the king’s son, was over the household, judging the people of the land.

6 Det som elles er å fortelja um Azarja og alt det han gjorde, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Juda-kongarne.

Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

7 Azarja lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine og vart gravlagd hjå federne sine i Davidsbyen. Jotam, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.

Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in David’s city; and Jotham his son reigned in his place.

In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, Zechariah the son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel in Samaria six months.

9 Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, liksom federne hans; han gav ikkje upp dei synderne som Jerobeam Nebatsson hadde forført Israel til.

He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as his fathers had done. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.

10 Sallum Jabesson fekk i stand ei samansverjing mot honom, og slo honom i hel medan folket såg på; so vart han konge i staden hans.

Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and struck him before the people and killed him, and reigned in his place.

11 Det som elles er å fortelja um Zakarja, sjå det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.

Now the rest of the acts of Zechariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

12 Uppfyllt vart soleis det ordet som Herren tala til Jehu: «Sønerne dine i fjorde ættleden skal sitja på Israels kongssæte.» So gjekk det.

This was the LORD’s word which he spoke to Jehu, saying, “Your sons to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.” So it came to pass.

16 Ved den tid herja Menahem Tifsah og alt folket der i heile landviddi deira, frå Tirsa; han herja deim, av di dei ikkje hadde uppna portarne for honom; alle barnkonorne skar han upp.

Then Menahem attacked Tiphsah and all who were in it and its border areas, from Tirzah. He attacked it because they didn’t open their gates to him, and he ripped up all their women who were with child.

He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight. He didn’t depart all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.

19 Då assyrarkongen Pul fall inn i landet, gav Menahem Pul tvo og eit halvt tusund vågar sylv for at han skulde hjelpa honom og tryggja kongedømet hans.

Pul the king of Assyria came against the land, and Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.

20 Dei pengarne Menahem gav assyrarkongen, fekk han inn ved skatt på alle rikmennerne i Israel: femti lodd sylv på kvar og ein. So snudde assyrarkongen att og heldt seg ikkje meir der i landet.

Menahem exacted the money from Israel, even from all the mighty men of wealth, from each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and didn’t stay there in the land.
