2 Kings 21
1 Twelve years old, was Manasseh when he began to reign, and, fifty-five years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and the name of his mother was Hephzibah.
Tolv år gamall var Manasse då han vart konge, fem og femti år rådde han i Jerusalem. Mor hans heitte Hefsiba.
2 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —after the abominable practices of the nations, whom Yahweh had dispossessed from before the sons of Israel.
Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, likt med dei avstyggjelege skikkarne hjå dei folki Herren hadde rudt ut for Israels-borni.
3 He again built the high places, which Hezekiah his father had destroyed, —and reared altars to Baal, and made a Sacred Stem, as did Ahab, king of Israel, and bowed down to all the army of the heavens, and served them.
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.
4 And he used to build altars in the house of Yahweh, —concerning which Yahweh had said, —In Jerusalem, will I put my Name.
Ja, han bygde altar i Herrens hus, der som Herren hadde sagt: «Til Jerusalem vil eg festa namnet mitt.»
5 And he built altars to all the army of the heavens, —in the two courts of the house of Yahweh;
I båe tuni kring Herrens hus bygde han altar for heile himmelheren.
6 and caused his son to pass through the fire, and practised hidden arts and used divination, and dealt with a familiar spirit and wizards, —he exceeded in doing the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, provoking [him] to anger;
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.
7 and he set the image of the Sacred Stem which he had made, —in the house, of which Yahweh had said unto David, and unto Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my Name, unto times age-abiding;
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.
8 and I will not again let the foot of Israel wander away from the soil which I gave unto their fathers. Only if they take heed to do according to all that I have commanded them, even to the extent of all the law which, my servant Moses, commanded them.
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!»
9 But they hearkened not, —and Manasseh led them astray to do the thing that was wicked, more than the nations which Yahweh destroyed from before the sons of Israel.
Men dei lydde ikkje. Manasse forførde deim, so dei stelte seg verre enn dei folki Herren hadde øydt ut for Israels-borni.
10 Yahweh therefore spake through his servants the prophets saying—
Då tala Herren ved tenarane sine, profetarne, soleis:
11 Because Manasseh king of Judah hath made these abominations—hath done that which is wicked, more than all which the Amorites did who were before him, and hath caused, even Judah, to sin with his manufactured gods,
«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,
12 therefore—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, Behold me! bringing in calamity upon Jerusalem and Judah, —that, whosoever heareth thereof, both his ears, will tingle;
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.
13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem, the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab, —and will wipe out Jerusalem, as one wipeth out a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down;
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.
14 And will abandon the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies, —and they shall become a prey and a plunder, to all their enemies:
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.
15 Because they have done the thing that is wicked in mine eyes, and have become such as to provoke me to anger, —from the day when their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even until this day.
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.»»
16 Moreover also, innocent blood, did Manasseh shed in great abundance, till he had filled Jerusalem, from one end to the other, besides his committing the sins which he caused, Judah, to commit, in doing the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh.
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.
17 Now, the rest of the story of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he committed, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Det som elles er å fortelja um Manasse, um det han gjorde og um hans synd, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Juda-kongarne.
18 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza, —and, Amon his son, reigned, in his stead.
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.
19 Twenty-two years old, was Amon when he began to reign, and, two years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz, of Jotbah.
Tvo og tjuge år gamall var Amon då han vart konge; tvo år rådde han i Jerusalem. Mor hans heitte Mesullemet Harusdotter, frå Jotba.
20 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —as did Manasseh his father;
Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, liksom Manasse, far hans;
21 yea he walked in all the way wherein, his father, had walked, —and served the manufactured gods that, his father, had served, and bowed down to them;
han fylgde i alt fotefari til far sin, og tente steingudarne som far hans hadde tent, og bad til deim.
22 and forsook Yahweh the God of his fathers, —and walked not in the way of Yahweh.
Han vende seg frå Herren, sin fedregud, og gjekk ikkje på Herrens veg.
23 And the servants of Amon, conspired against him, —and slew the king in his own house.
Amons hirdmenner samansvor seg og drap kongen i huset hans.
24 Then the people of the land smote all who had conspired against King Amon, —and the people of the land made, Josiah his son, king, in his stead.
Landsfolket slo i hel deim som hadde samansvore seg saman mot Amon, og tok Josia, son hans, til konge i staden hans.
25 Now, the rest of the story of Amon, what he did, is, it, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Det som elles er å fortelja um Amon, det han gjorde, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Juda-kongarne.
26 And he was buried in his grave, in the garden of Uzza, —and, Josiah his son, reigned, in his stead.
Han vart gravlagd i gravi i Uzzias hage. Josia, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
