2 Kings 14

1 In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel, began Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah to reign.

I det andre styringsåret åt Israels-kongen Joas Joahazson vart Amasja Joasson konge i Juda.

2 Twenty-five years old, was he when he began to reign, and twenty-nine years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.

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.

3 And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, only, not like David his father: according to all that Joash his father did, so he did;

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.

4 only, the high places, took they not away, —still were the people sacrificing and burning incense in the high places.

Offerhaugarne vart like vel haldne ved lag; folket heldt på og ofra slagtoffer og brende røykjelse på haugarne.

5 And it came to pass that, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, he smote his servants who smote the king his father;

So snart han kjende seg trygg på magti, let han drepa dei hirdmennerne som hadde slege i hel kongen, far hans.

6 but, the sons of them that smote him, slew he not, —as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, which Yahweh commanded, saying—Fathers, shall not be put to death, for sons, nor shall, sons, be put to death, for fathers, but every man, for his own sin, shall be put to death.

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.»

7 He, smote Edom, in the valley of salt, ten thousand, and seized Sela, in the war, —and called the name thereof Joktheel, [as it is] until this day.

Han slo edomitarne i Saltdalen, ti tusund mann, og hertok Sela, som han kalla Jokte’el, eit namn det ber den dag i dag.

8 Then, sent Amaziah messengers unto Jehoash son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, —Come now, let us look one another in the face.

Ved dette leitet sende Amasja bod til Israels-kongen Joas Joahazson, soneson åt Jehu, med dei ordi: «Kom, lat oss røyna kvarandre!»

9 And Jehoash king of Israel sent unto Amaziah king of Judah, saying, A thistle that was in Lebanon, sent unto a cedar that was in Lebanon, saying—Give thy daughter to my son to wife, —and there passed by a beast of the field that was in Lebanon, and trampled down the thistle:

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.

10 Thou hast, smitten, Edom, and, thy heart, would lift thee up, —Glory, and stay at home! Wherefore, then, shouldest thou contend with misfortune, and fall, thou, and Judah with thee?

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.

11 But Amaziah hearkened not. So then Jehoash king of Israel came up, and they looked one another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, —in Beth-shemesh, which belongeth unto Judah.

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.

12 Then was Judah defeated before Israel, —and they fled, every man to his own home;

Juda-folket tapte for Israels-folket og rømde kvar til sitt.

13 and, upon Amaziah, king of Judah, son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, did Jehoash king of Israel, seize, in Beth-shemesh, —and entered Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, at the gate of Ephraim, as far as the corner gate, four hundred cubits;

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.

14 and took all the gold and the silver and all the vessels that were found in the house of Yahweh, and in the treasuries of the house of the king, and hostages, —and returned to Samaria.

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.

15 Now, the rest of the story of Jehoash, what he did, and his might and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

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.

16 And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria, with the kings of Israel, —and, Jeroboam his son, reigned, in his stead.

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.

17 And Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah, lived, after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel, fifteen years.

Juda-kongen Amasja Joasson livde femtan år etter Israels-kongen Joas Joahazson var dåen.

18 Now, the rest of the story of Amaziah, is, it, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

Det som elles er å fortelja um Amasja, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Juda-kongarne.

19 And, when they made against him a conspiracy in Jerusalem, he fled to Lachish, —but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him, there.

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.

20 And they bare him on horses, —and he was buried in Jerusalem, with his fathers, in the city of David.

Dei førde liket på hesteryggen, og gravlagde honom i Jerusalem, i Davidsbyen, saman med federne hans.

21 And all the people of Judah took Azariah, he, being sixteen yearn old, —and made, him, king instead of his father Amaziah.

So tok heile Juda-folket Azarja, ein sekstan års gut, til konge i staden for Amasja, far hans.

22 He, built Elath, and restored it to Judah, —after the king slept with his fathers.

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.

23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, began Jeroboam, son of Joash, king of Israel, to reign in Samaria, [and he reigned] forty-one years.

I det femtande styringsåret åt Juda-kongen Amasja Joasson vart Jerobeam Joasson konge yver Israel, og rådde i Samaria i eitt og fyrti år.

24 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —he turned not away from any of the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he caused, Israel, to commit.

Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, og gav ikkje upp dei synderne Jerobeam Nebatsson hadde forført Israel til.

25 He, restored the boundary of Israel, from the entering in of Hamath, unto the sea of the waste plain, —according to the word of Yahweh, God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah, son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath-hepher.

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.

26 For Yahweh saw the humiliation of Israel, that it was bitter, indeed, —and that there was no one shut up, nor any one left at large, no one indeed to help Israel.

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.

27 Neither had Yahweh spoken, to wipe out the name of Israel from under the heavens, —so he saved them, by the hand of Jeroboam son of Joash.

Herren hadde ikkje sagt at han vilde strjuka ut Israels namn under himmelen; difor hjelpte han deim ved Jerobeam Joasson.

28 Now, the rest of the story of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might when he warred, and how he restored Damascus and Hamath to Judah in Israel, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

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.

29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, with the kings of Israel, —and, Zechariah his son, reigned, in his stead.

Jerobeam lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine, hjå Israels-kongarne, og Zakarja, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
