1 Kongebok 15
1 I kong Jeroboams, Nebats sønns attende år blev Abiam konge over Juda.
And in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nabat, Abiu son of Roboam reigns over Juda.
2 Han regjerte tre år i Jerusalem. Hans mor hette Ma'aka; hun var datter til Abisalom.
And he reigned three years over Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Maacha, daughter of Abessalom.
3 Han vandret i alle de synder som hans far hadde gjort før ham, og hans hjerte var ikke helt med Herren hans Gud, som hans far Davids hjerte hadde vært;
And he walked in the sins of his father which he wrought in his presence, and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as [was] the heart of his father [David].
4 men for Davids skyld lot Herren hans Gud en lampe brenne for ham i Jerusalem, idet han opreiste hans sønn efter ham og lot Jerusalem bli stående,
Howbeit for David's sake the Lord gave him a remnant, that he might establish his children after him, and might establish Jerusalem.
5 fordi David gjorde hvad rett var i Herrens øine, og i hele sitt liv ikke vek av fra noget av det han hadde befalt ham, undtagen det som hendte med hetitten Uria.
Forasmuch as David did that which was right in the sight of the Lord: he turned not from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life.
6 Mellem Rehabeam og Jeroboam var det krig så lenge han levde.
7 Hvad som ellers er å fortelle om Abiam og om alt det han gjorde, er opskrevet i Judas kongers krønike. Mellem Abiam og Jeroboam var det også krig.
And the rest of the history of Abiu, and all that he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? And there was war between Abiu and Jeroboam.
8 Og Abiam la sig til hvile hos sine fedre, og de begravde ham i Davids stad; og hans sønn Asa blev konge i hans sted.
And Abiu slept with his fathers in the twenty-fourth year of Jeroboam; and he is buried with his fathers in the city of David: And Asa his son reigns in his stead.
9 I Jeroboams, Israels konges tyvende år blev Asa konge over Juda.
In the four and twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa begins to reign over Juda.
10 Han regjerte en og firti år i Jerusalem. Hans mor hette Ma'aka; hun var datter til Abisalom.
And he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Ana, daughter of Abessalom.
11 Asa gjorde hvad rett var i Herrens øine, likesom hans far David hadde gjort.
And Asa did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as David his father.
12 Han drev tempel-bolerne ut av landet og fikk bort alle de motbydelige avguder som hans fedre hadde gjort.
And he removed the sodomites out of the land, and abolished all the practices which his fathers had kept up.
13 Han avsatte endog sin mor Ma'aka fra hennes verdighet, fordi hun hadde gjort et gruelig avgudsbillede for Astarte; Asa hugg hennes gruelige avgudsbillede ned og brente det i Kidrons dal.
And he removed Ana his mother from being queen, forasmuch as she gathered a meeting in her grove: and Asa cut down her retreats, and burnt them with fire in the brook of Kedron.
14 Men offerhaugene blev ikke nedlagt; dog var Asas hjerte helt med Herren så lenge han levde.
But he removed not the high places; nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord all his days.
15 Han lot de ting hans far hadde helliget, og dem han selv hadde helliget, føre inn i Herrens hus, både sølv og gull og andre ting.
And he brought in the pillars of his father, he even brought in his gold and silver pillars into the house of the Lord, and [his] vessels.
16 Mellem Asa og Baesa, Israels konge, var det krig så lenge de levde.
And there was war between Asa and Baasa king of Israel all their days.
17 Baesa, Israels konge, drog op mot Juda og bygget festningsverker i Rama for å hindre enhver fra å dra fra eller til Asa, Judas konge.
And Baasa king of Israel went up against Juda, and built Rama, so that no one should go out or come in for Asa king of Juda.
18 Da tok Asa alt det sølv og gull som var tilbake i skattkammerne i Herrens hus, og likeså skattene i kongens hus og overgav dem til sine tjenere; så sendte kong Asa dem til Benhadad, kongen i Syria, som bodde i Damaskus og var sønn til Tabrimmon, Hesjons sønn, med de ord:
And Asa took all the silver and the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and gave them into the hands of his servants; and king Asa sent them out to the son of Ader, the son of Taberema son of Azin king of Syria, who lived in Damascus, saying,
19 Mellem mig og dig er det jo et forbund, som det var mellem min far og din far. Her sender jeg dig en gave av sølv og gull; bryt nu ditt forbund med Baesa, Israels konge, så han må dra bort fra mig!
Make a covenant between me and you, and between my father and your father: behold! I have sent forth to you gold and silver [for] gifts: come, break your league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may go up from me.
20 Benhadad lød kong Asa og sendte sine hærførere mot Israels byer og inntok Ijon og Dan og Abel-Bet-Ma'aka og hele Kinneret med hele Naftalis land.
And the son of Ader listened to king Asa, and sent the chiefs of his forces to the cities of Israel; and they struck Ain, Dan, and Abel of the house of Maacha, and all Chennereth, as far as the whole land of Nephthali.
21 Da Baesa hørte det, holdt han op med å bygge festningsverker i Rama og gav sig til i Tirsa.
And it came to pass when Baasa heard it, that he left off building Rama, and returned to Thersa.
22 Men kong Asa opbød hele Juda - ingen var fritatt - og de førte bort stenene og tømmeret som Baesa hadde brukt til festningsarbeidet i Rama; med det bygget kong Asa festningsverker i Geba i Benjamin og i Mispa.
And king Asa charged all Juda without exception: and they take up the stones of Rama and its timbers [with] which Baasa was building; and king Asa built with them upon the whole hill of Benjamin, and the watch-tower.
23 Hvad som ellers er å fortelle om Asa, om alle hans store gjerninger og alt det han gjorde, og om de byer han bygget, det er opskrevet i Judas kongers krønike. Men i sin alderdom fikk han en sykdom i føttene.
And the rest of the history of Asa, and all his mighty deeds which he wrought, and the cities which he built, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
24 Og Asa la sig til hvile hos sine fedre og blev begravet hos sine fedre i sin far Davids stad, og hans sønn Josafat blev konge i hans sted.
And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Josaphat his son reigns in his stead.
25 Nadab, Jeroboams sønn, blev konge over Israel i Asas, Judas konges annet år, og han regjerte over Israel i to år.
And Nabat son of Jeroboam reigns over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Juda, and he reigned two years in Israel.
26 Han gjorde hvad ondt var i Herrens øine, og vandret på sin fars vei og i hans synd, den som han hadde fått Israel til å gjøre.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sins wherein he caused Israel to sin.
27 Men Baesa, Akias sønn, av Issakars hus, fikk i stand en sammensvergelse mot ham; og Baesa slo ham ihjel ved Gibbeton, som tilhørte filistrene, mens Nadab og hele Israel holdt Gibbeton kringsatt.
And Baasa son of Achia, [who was] over the house of Belaan son of Achia, conspired against him, and struck him in Gabathon of the Philistines; for Nabat and all Israel were besieging Gabathon.
28 Baesa drepte ham i Asas, Judas konges tredje år og blev så konge i hans sted.
And Baasa killed him in the third year of Asa son of Asa king of Juda; and reigned in his stead.
29 Og da han var blitt konge, slo han hele Jeroboams hus ihjel; han lot ikke en levende sjel bli tilbake av Jeroboams hus, men utryddet det efter det ord som Herren hadde talt ved sin tjener Akia fra Silo;
And it came to pass when he reigned, that he struck the whole house of Jeroboam, and left none that breathed of Jeroboam, until he has destroyed him utterly, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by his servant Achia the Selonite,
30 dette skjedde for de synders skyld som Jeroboam hadde gjort, og som han hadde fått Israel til å gjøre, og fordi han hadde vakt Herrens, Israels Guds harme.
for the sins of Jeroboam, who led Israel into sin, even by his provocation wherewith he provoked the Lord God of Israel.
31 Hvad som ellers er å fortelle om Nadab og om alt det han gjorde, er opskrevet i Israels kongers krønike.
And the rest of the history of Nabat, and all that he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
32 Mellem Asa og Israels konge Baesa var det krig så lenge de levde.
[And there was a war between Asa and Baasa king of Israel in all their days. ]
33 I Asas, Judas konges tredje år blev Baesa, Akias sønn, konge over hele Israel i Tirsa, og han var konge i fire og tyve år.
And in the third year of Asa king of Juda, Baasa the son of Achia begins to reign over Israel in Thersa, twenty and four years.
34 Han gjorde hvad ondt var i Herrens øine, og vandret på Jeroboams vei og i hans synd, den som han hadde fått Israel til å gjøre.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and in his sins, as he caused Israel to sin.
