1 Kungaboken 15

1 På adertonde årena Konung Jerobeams, Nebats sons, vardt Abiam Konung i Juda;

Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam began to reign over Judah.

2 Och regerade tre år i Jerusalem. Hans moder het Maacha, Abisaloms dotter.

He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah 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 of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.

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, the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him and to establish 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.

because David did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, and didn’t turn away from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, 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 his 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.

The rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijam 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.

Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Asa his son reigned 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 reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

11 Och Asa gjorde det Herranom behageligit var, såsom hans fader David;

Asa did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, as David his father did.

12 Och dref de roffare utu landet, och borttog alla de afgudar, som hans fäder gjort hade.

He put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers 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 mother from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah. Asa cut down her image and burnt it at the brook Kidron.

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 the heart of Asa was perfect with the LORD 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 LORD’s house the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that he himself had dedicated: silver, gold, and utensils.

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 went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to 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 the gold that was left in the treasures of the LORD’s house, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered it into the hand of his servants. Then King Asa sent them to Ben Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who lived at Damascus, saying,

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 treaty between me and you, like that between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent to you a present of silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.”

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 captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Beth Maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

21 Då Baesa det hörde, vände han igen bygga Rama, och drog till Thirza igen.

When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and lived in 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 of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and King Asa used it to build 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.

Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But in the time of 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.

Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city; and Jehoshaphat his son reigned 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 the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and 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 that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made 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 the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha struck him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon.

28 Så drap Baesa honom, uti tredje årena Asa, Juda Konungs; och vardt Konung i hans stad.

Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed him and reigned 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, he struck all the house of Jeroboam. He didn’t leave to Jeroboam any who breathed, until he had destroyed him, according to the saying of the LORD, which he spoke 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 sinned, and with which he made Israel to sin, because of his provocation with which he provoked the LORD, 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.

Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles 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 the son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel in Tirzah for 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 that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.
