< 2 Kings 14 >

1 In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah.
I det andre styringsåret åt Israels-kongen Joas Joahazson vart Amasja Joasson konge i Juda.
2 He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years 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 sight of the LORD, yet not like David his father: he did according to all things as Joash his father 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 But the high places were not taken away: as yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense on 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, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his servants who had slain 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 children of the murderers he slew not: according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, in which the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
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 slew of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and took Selah by war, and called the name of it Joktheel to 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 Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, 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 the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son for a wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trod 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 indeed smitten Edom, and thy heart hath lifted thee up: glory of this, and tarry at home: for why shouldest thou meddle to thy harm, that thou shouldest fall, even 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 would not hear. Therefore Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Bethshemesh, which belongeth to 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 And Judah was smitten by Israel; and they fled every man to their tents.
Juda-folket tapte for Israels-folket og rømde kvar til sitt.
13 And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Bethshemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to 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 he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasuries of the king’s house, 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 acts of Jehoash which 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 the 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 And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they 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 Now they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem: and 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 brought him on horses: and he was buried at 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, who was sixteen years 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 that 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 the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, and reigned forty and 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 that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
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 land of Israel from the entering of Hamath to the sea of the plain, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel, which he spoke by the hand of his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gathhepher.
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 the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter: for there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for 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 And the LORD said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the 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 acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which belonged to Judah, for 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, even with the kings of Israel; and Zachariah 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.
