2 Kongebok 21
1 Tolv år gamall var Manasse då han vart konge, fem og femti år rådde han i Jerusalem. Mor hans heitte Hefsiba.
Manasses [was] twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Apsiba.
2 Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, likt med dei avstyggjelege skikkarne hjå dei folki Herren hadde rudt ut for Israels-borni.
And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, according to the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.
3 Han bygde upp att dei offerhaugarne som Hizkia, far hans, hadde lagt i øyde, og reiste altar for Ba’al og laga Astarte-bilæte, liksom Ahab, Israels-kongen, hadde gjort, og kasta seg ned for og tente heile himmelheren.
And he built again the high places, which Ezekias his father [had] demolished; and set up an altar to Baal, and made groves as Achaab king of Israel [made them]; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
4 Ja, han bygde altar i Herrens hus, der som Herren hadde sagt: «Til Jerusalem vil eg festa namnet mitt.»
And he built an altar in the house of the Lord, whereas he had said, In Jerusalem I will place my name.
5 I båe tuni kring Herrens hus bygde han altar for heile himmelheren.
And he built an altar to all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
6 Han vigde son sin i elden og for med spådom og trolldom, og tinga folk til å mana fram draugar og spåvette. Han gjorde mykje som var vondt i Herrens augo, og harma honom.
And he caused his sons to pass through the fire, and used divination and auspices, and made groves, and multiplied wizards, so as to do that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
7 Astarte-bilætet som han hadde laga, sette han i det huset som Herren hadde sagt um til David og Salomo, son hans: «Til dette huset og til Jerusalem, som eg hev valt ut millom alle Israels ætter, vil eg festa namnet mitt i all æva.
And he set up the graven image of the grove in the house of which the Lord said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I even place my name for ever.
8 Eg vil ikkje meir lata Israel flakka heimlaus burt frå landet eg gav federne deira. Berre dei gjer og heldt seg etter alle mine bod og etter heile lovi som Moses, tenaren min, gav deim!»
And I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I gave to their fathers, [even of those] who shall keep all that I commanded, according to all the commandments which my servant Moses commanded them.
9 Men dei lydde ikkje. Manasse forførde deim, so dei stelte seg verre enn dei folki Herren hadde øydt ut for Israels-borni.
But they hearkened not; and Manasses led them astray to do evil in the sight of the Lord, beyond the nations whom the Lord utterly destroyed from before the children of Israel.
10 Då tala Herren ved tenarane sine, profetarne, soleis:
And the Lord spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,
11 «Av di Manasse, Juda-kongen, hev drive med desse avstyggjelege skikkarne, verre enn alt det amoritarne gjorde fyre hans tid, og forført med sine steingudar ogso Juda til å synda,
Forasmuch as Manasses the king of Juda has wrought all these evil abominations, beyond all that the Amorite did, who lived before [him], and has led Juda also into sin by their idols,
12 so segjer Herren, Israels Gud: «Sjå, eg sendar ulukka yver Jerusalem og Juda, so det skal ringja for båe øyro på alle som høyrer det.
[it shall] not [be] so. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I bring calamities upon Jerusalem and Juda, so that both the ears of every one that hears shall tingle.
13 Eg spanar same mælesnori yver Jerusalem som yver Samaria, og nyttar same vegtloddet som yver Ahabs hus. Eg turkar burt Jerusalem, liksom ein turkar av eit fat og so snur det upp ned.
And I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measure of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Achaab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a jar is wiped, and turned upside down in the wiping.
14 Eg støyter ifrå meg deim som er att av arvluten min, og gjev deim i fiendevald, so dei vert til ran og til herfang for alle sine fiendar.
And I will reject the remnant of my inheritance, and will deliver them into the hands of their enemies; and they shall be for a plunder and for a spoil to all their enemies:
15 Og det av di dei hev gjort det som vondt er i mine augo, og jamt harma meg frå den dagen federne deira drog ut or Egyptarland og til den dag i dag.»»
forasmuch as they have done wickedly in my sight, and have provoked me from the day that I brought out their fathers out of Egypt, even until this day.
16 Manasse let og skuldlaust blod renna, i so stor mengd at Jerusalem vart fyllt av det frå ende til annan, umfram den syndi at han forførde Juda til å gjera det som vondt var i Herrens augo.
Moreover Manasses shed very much innocent blood, until he filled Jerusalem [with it] from one end to the other, beside his sins with which he caused Juda to sin, in doing evil in the eyes of the Lord.
17 Det som elles er å fortelja um Manasse, um det han gjorde og um hans synd, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Juda-kongarne.
And the rest of the acts of Manasses, and all that he did, and his sin which he sinned, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
18 Manasse lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine, og vart gravlagd i slottshagen, i Uzzas hage. Og Amon, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
And Manasses slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his house, [even] in the garden of Oza: and Amos his son reigned in his stead.
19 Tvo og tjuge år gamall var Amon då han vart konge; tvo år rådde han i Jerusalem. Mor hans heitte Mesullemet Harusdotter, frå Jotba.
Twenty and two years old [was] Amos when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Mesollam, daughter of Arus of Jeteba.
20 Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, liksom Manasse, far hans;
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses his father did.
21 han fylgde i alt fotefari til far sin, og tente steingudarne som far hans hadde tent, og bad til deim.
And he walked in all the way in which his father walked, and served the idols which his father served, and worshipped them.
22 Han vende seg frå Herren, sin fedregud, og gjekk ikkje på Herrens veg.
And he forsook the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.
23 Amons hirdmenner samansvor seg og drap kongen i huset hans.
And the servants of Amos conspired against him, and slew the king in his house.
24 Landsfolket slo i hel deim som hadde samansvore seg saman mot Amon, og tok Josia, son hans, til konge i staden hans.
And the people of the land slew all that had conspired against king Amos; and the people of the land made Josias king in his room.
25 Det som elles er å fortelja um Amon, det han gjorde, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Juda-kongarne.
And the rest of the acts of Amos, [even] all that he did, behold, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
26 Han vart gravlagd i gravi i Uzzias hage. Josia, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
And they buried him in his tomb in the garden of Oza: and Josias his son reigned in his stead.
