1 Kungaboken 15
1 På adertonde årena Konung Jerobeams, Nebats sons, vardt Abiam Konung i Juda;
In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijah began to reign over Judah.
2 Och regerade tre år i Jerusalem. Hans moder het Maacha, Abisaloms dotter.
He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Maacah. She was the daughter of Abishalom.
3 Och han vandrade i alla sins faders synder, som han för honom gjort hade; och hans hjerta var icke rättsinnigt till Herran hans Gud, såsom hans faders Davids hjerta.
He walked in all the sins that his father had committed before his time; his heart was not devoted to Yahweh his God as the heart of David, his ancestor, had been.
4 Men för Davids skull gaf Herren hans Gud honom ena lykto i Jerusalem, så att han uppväckte hans son efter honom, och behöll honom i Jerusalem;
Nevertheless, for David's sake, Yahweh his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem by raising up his son after him in order to strengthen Jerusalem.
5 Derföre att David gjort hade det Herranom ljuft var, och var icke viken ifrån allt det han honom böd, så länge han lefde; förutan i den handelen med Uria den Hetheen.
God did this because David had done what was right in his eyes; for all the days of his life, he had not turned away from anything that he commanded him, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
6 Men emellan Rehabeam och Jerobeam var örlig, så länge han lefde.
Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of Abijah's life.
7 Hvad nu mer af Abiam sägandes är, och allt det han gjort hafver; si, det är skrifvet uti Juda Konungars Chrönico. Och det var örlig emellan Abiam och Jerobeam.
As for the other matters of Abijah, all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
8 Och Abiam afsomnade med sina fäder; och de begrofvo honom uti Davids stad. Och Asa hans son vardt Konung uti hans stad.
Abijah slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city of David. Asa his son became king in his place.
9 Uti tjugonde årena Konungs Jerobeams öfver Israel, vardt Asa Konung i Juda;
In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah.
10 Och regerade ett och fyratio år i Jerusalem. Hans moder het Maacha, Abisaloms dotter.
He ruled forty-one years in Jerusalem. His grandmother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.
11 Och Asa gjorde det Herranom behageligit var, såsom hans fader David;
Asa did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, as David, his ancestor, had done.
12 Och dref de roffare utu landet, och borttog alla de afgudar, som hans fäder gjort hade.
He expelled the cultic prostitutes from the land and removed all the idols that his ancestors had made.
13 Dertill satte han sina moder Maacha af ämbetet, för det hon Miplezeth gjort hade i lundenom; och Asa utrotade hennes Miplezeth, och uppbrände honom vid den bäcken Kidron.
He also removed Maacah, his grandmother, from being queen, because she had made a disgusting figure out of an Asherah pole. Asa cut down the disgusting figure and burned it at the Kidron Valley.
14 Men de höjder lade de icke bort; dock var Asa hjerta rättsinnigt till Herran, så länge han lefde.
But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless, Asa's heart was completely devoted to Yahweh all his days.
15 Och det silfver och guld, och tyg, som hans fader helgat hade, och hvad som helgadt var till Herrans hus, lät han komma derin.
He brought into the house of Yahweh the things that were set apart by his father, and his own things that had been set apart that were made of silver and gold, and vessels.
16 Och emellan Asa och Baesa, Israels Konung, var örlig, så länge de lefde.
There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel, all their days.
17 Men Baesa, Israels Konung, drog upp emot Juda, och byggde Rama, att ingen skulle draga ut och in af Asa part, Konungens i Juda.
Baasha king of Israel, acted aggressively against Judah and built up Ramah, so that he might not allow anyone to leave or enter into the land of Asa king of Judah.
18 Då tog Asa allt silfver och guld, som qvart var i Herrans hus skatt, och i Konungshusets skatt, och fick det i sina tjenares händer; och sände dem till Benhadad, Tabrimmons son, Hesions sons, Konungen i Syrien, som bodde i Damascon, och lät säga honom:
Then Asa took all the silver and gold left in the storerooms in the house of Yahweh, and the storerooms of the king's palace. He put it into the hands of his servants and sent it to Ben Hadad son of Tabrimmon son of Hezion, the king of Aram, who lived in Damascus. He said,
19 Ett förbund är emellan, mig och dig, och emellan min fader och din, fader; derföre skickar jag dig en, skänk, silfver och guld, att du ville låta det förbundet fara, som du hafver med Baesa, Israels Konung, att han må draga ifrå mig.
“Let there be a covenant between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Look, I have sent to you a gift of silver and gold. Break your covenant with Baasha king of Israel, so that he may leave me alone.”
20 Benhadad hörde Konung Asa, och sände sina höfvitsmän emot Israels städer, och slog Ijon och Dan, och AbelBethMaacha, hela Cinneroth med hela Naphthali land.
Ben Hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies, and they attacked the cities of Israel. They attacked Ijon, Dan, Abel of Beth Maacah, and all Kinnereth, together with all the land of Naphtali.
21 Då Baesa det hörde, vände han igen bygga Rama, och drog till Thirza igen.
It came about that when Baasha heard this, he stopped building up Ramah and went back to Tirzah.
22 Men Konung Asa lät båda öfver hela Juda: Ingen ursake sig; och de togo bort sten och trä af Rama, der Baesa med byggt hade. Och Konung Asa byggde dermed Geba BenJamin, och Mizpa.
Then King Asa made a proclamation to all Judah. No one was exempted. They carried away the stones and timbers of Ramah with which Baasha had been building up the city. Then King Asa used that building material to build up Geba of Benjamin and Mizpah.
23 Hvad nu mer af Asa sägandes är, och all hans magt, och allt det han gjorde, och de städer som han byggde, si, det är skrifvet uti Juda Konungars Chrönico; undantagno, att han på sinom ålder var krank i sina fötter.
As for the other matters of Asa, all his might, all that he did, and the cities he built, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah? But during his old age he was diseased in his feet.
24 Och Asa afsomnade med sina fader, och vardt begrafven med sina fader uti Davids sins faders stad. Och Josaphat hans son vardt Konung i hans stad.
Then Asa slept with his ancestors and was buried with them in the city of David his father. Jehoshaphat his son became king in his place.
25 Men Nadab, Jerobeams son, vardt Konung öfver Israel, uti de andra årena Asa, Juda Konungs; och rådde öfver Israel i tu år;
Nadab son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; he reigned over Israel two years.
26 Och gjorde det för Herranom ondt var, och vandrade i sins faders vägar, och i hans synder, der han med kom Israel till att synda.
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh and walked in the way of his father, and in his own sin, by which he led Israel to sin.
27 Men Baesa, Ahia son, utaf Isaschars hus, gjorde ett förbund emot honom, och slog honom i Gibbethon, som var de Philisteers; ty Nadab och hele Israel belade Gibbethon.
Baasha son of Ahijah, of the family of Issachar, conspired against Nadab; Baasha killed him down at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.
28 Så drap Baesa honom, uti tredje årena Asa, Juda Konungs; och vardt Konung i hans stad.
In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed Nadab and became king in his place.
29 Som han nu Konung var, slog han hela Jerobeams hus, och lät intet qvart blifva, det anda hade, af Jerobeam, tilldess han utrotade honom, efter Herrans ord, som han talat hade genom sin tjenare Ahia af Silo;
As soon as he was king, Baasha killed all the family of Jeroboam. He left none of Jeroboam's descendants breathing; in this way he destroyed his royal line, just as Yahweh had spoken by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite,
30 För Jerobeams synds skull, som han gjorde, och dermed han kom Israel till att synda; och med det retandet, dermed han rette Herran Israels Gud till vrede.
for the sins of Jeroboam which he committed and by which he led Israel to sin, because he provoked Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger.
31 Hvad nu mer af Nadab sägandes är, och allt det han gjort hafver, si, det är skrifvet uti Israels Konungars Chrönico.
As for the other matters concerning Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
32 Och emellan Asa och Baesa, Israels Konung, var örlig, så länge de lefde.
There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
33 Uti tredje årena Asa, Juda Konungs, vardt Baesa, Ahia son, Konung öfver hela Israel i Thirza, fyra och tjugu år;
In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel in Tirzah and he reigned twenty-four years.
34 Och gjorde det ondt var för Herranom, och vandrade i Jerobeams väg, och i hans synd, dermed han hade kommit Israel till att synda.
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh and walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin by which he led Israel to sin.
