1 Kongebok 14
1 Ved det bilet vart Abia, son åt Jerobeam, sjuk.
At that time Abijah son of Jeroboam became very sick.
2 Då sagde Jerobeam til kona si: «Tak og klæd deg ut, so ingen vert vis med at du er kona åt Jerobeam, og gakk so til Silo! Der bur profeten Ahia, han som tala um at eg skulde verta konge yver dette folket.
Jeroboam said to his wife, “Please arise and disguise yourself, so you will not be recognized as my wife, and go to Shiloh, because Ahijah the prophet is there; he is the one who spoke about me, saying that I would become king over these people.
3 Tak med deg ti brød og kakor og ei krukka med honning og gakk inn til honom! Han skal vitra deg um korleis det skal ganga med guten.»
Take with you ten loaves, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to Ahijah. He will tell you what will happen to the child.”
4 Og kona åt Jerobeam gjorde so; ho tok ut til Silo og kom til huset åt Ahia. Men Ahia kunde ikkje sjå; for augo hans var star-blinde av alderdom.
Jeroboam's wife did so; she left and went to Shiloh and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see; he lost his sight because of old age.
5 Men Herren hadde sagt til Ahia: «Kona åt Jerobeam kjem og vil spyrja deg ut um son sin, for han er sjuk. Det og det skal du segja med henne. Når ho kjem, vil ho bera seg åt liksom ho var framand.»
Yahweh said to Ahijah, “Look, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to seek advice from you regarding her son, for he is sick. Say such and such to her, because when she comes, she will act as if she were some other woman.”
6 Då no Ahia høyrde fotstigi hennar i det same ho kom inn døri, sagde han: «Kom inn, du kona åt Jerobeam! Kvi ber du deg åt liksom du var framand? Eg er send til deg med eit hardt bod.
When Ahijah heard the sound of her feet as she came in at the door, he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be someone you are not? I have been sent to you with bad news.
7 Gakk og seg til Jerobeam: «So segjer Herren, Israels Gud: «Eg hev lyft deg upp or folket og sett deg til fyrste yver folket mitt, Israel,
Go, tell Jeroboam that Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, 'I raised you from among the people to make you the leader over my people Israel.
8 og rive riket ifrå Davids hus og gav det til deg. Men du hev ikkje stelt deg som tenaren min, David; han heldt bodi mine og fylgde meg av alt sitt hjarta, so han gjorde einast det som rett var i mine augo;
I tore the kingdom away from the family of David and gave it to you, yet you have not been like my servant David, who kept my commandments and followed me with all his heart, to do only what was right in my eyes.
9 men du hev gjort meir vondt enn alle som hev vore fyre deg; du hev gjenge av og laga deg andre gudar, støypte bilæte, for å harma meg, og meg hev du kasta attum ryggen din.
Instead, you have done evil, more than all who were before you. You have made other gods, and you have cast metal images to provoke me to anger, and have thrust me behind your back.
10 Difor vil eg lata ulukka koma yver Jerobeams hus og rydja ut kvar ein karmann av ætti hans både, både ufri og fri i Israel, og eg skal sopa etter Jerobeams hus plent som ein sopar burt skarn, til dess det ingen ting er att av det.
Therefore, look, I will bring disaster on your family; I will cut off from you every male child in Israel, whether slave or free, and will completely remove your family, like someone who burns up dung until it is gone.
11 Den av Jerobeams hus som døyr i byen, skal hundarne eta upp, og den som døyr utpå marki, skal fuglane under himmelen eta upp. For soleis hev Herren tala.»»
Anyone who belongs to your family who dies in the city will be eaten by dogs, and anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the heavens, for I, Yahweh, have said it.'
12 Gakk no du heim att! Når føterne stig inn i byen, so døyr barnet.
So arise, wife of Jeroboam, and go back to your home; when your feet enter the city, the child Abijah will die.
13 Og heile Israel skal halda syrgjehøgtid for honom, og dei skal gravleggja honom; for av Jerobeams hus er han den einaste som skal koma i ei grav, etter di han var den einaste i Jerobeams hus som det var noko godt hjå imot Herren, Israels Gud.
All Israel will mourn for him and bury him. He is the only one from Jeroboam's family who will go into a grave, because only in him, out of Jeroboam's house, was anything good found in the sight of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
14 Men Herren skal setja seg ein konge yver Israel, som skal rydja ut Jerobeams hus. Dette er dagen, og no skal det henda.
Also, Yahweh will raise up a king of Israel who will cut off the family of Jeroboam on that day. Today is that day, right now.
15 Herren skal slå Israel som sevet voggar i vatnet, og han skal rykkja Israel upp or dette gode landet, som han gav federne deira, og strøya deim på andre sida åt Storelvi, for di dei hev laga seg asjeror og vekt Herrens harm.
For Yahweh will attack Israel as a reed is shaken in the water, and he will root up Israel out of this good land that he gave to their ancestors. He will scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, because they have made their Asherah poles and provoked Yahweh to anger.
16 Og han skal ofra Israel for dei synder skuld som Jerobeam gjorde, og som han fekk Israel til å gjera.»
He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, the sins that he has committed, and through which he has led Israel to sin.”
17 Då reis kona åt Jerobeam upp og gjekk sin veg og kom til Tirsa, og med same ho steig yver dørstokken i huset, døydde guten.
So Jeroboam's wife arose and left, and came to Tirzah. As she came to the threshold of her house, the child died.
18 Og dei gravlagde honom, og heile Israel heldt syrgjehøgtid for honom, etter det ord som Herren hadde tala ved tenaren sin, profeten Ahia.
All Israel buried him and mourned for him, just as it was told to them by the word of Yahweh which he had spoken by his servant Ahijah the prophet.
19 Det som elles er å fortelja um Jerobeam, um krigerne hans og styringi hans, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.
As for the other matters concerning Jeroboam, how he waged war and how he reigned, see, they are written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel.
20 Styringstidi åt Jerobeam var tvo og tjuge år. So lagde han seg til kvile hjå federne sine, og Nadab, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
Jeroboam reigned twenty-two years and then slept with his ancestors, and Nadab his son became king in his place.
21 Men Rehabeam, son åt Salomo, var konge i Juda; ein og fyrti år var Rehabeam då han vart konge, og syttan år styrde han i Jerusalem, den byen som Herren hadde valt ut av alle Israels ætter til bustad for namnet sitt. Mor hans var ei ammonitkvinna som heitte Na’ama.
Now Rehoboam son of Solomon was reigning in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that Yahweh had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel in which to put his name. His mother's name was Naamah the Ammonite woman.
22 Og Juda gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo; med dei synder dei gjorde, vekte dei brennhugen hans meir enn federne deira hadde gjort.
Judah did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh; they provoked him to jealousy with the sins that they committed, more than everything that their fathers had done.
23 Dei og bygde seg offerhaugar og laga til stolpar og asjeror på kvar ein høg bakke og under kvart eit grønt tre;
For they also built for themselves high places, stone pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
24 ja, det var jamvel utukt-sveinar i landet. Dei heldt på med all styggedomen hjå dei folki som Herren hadde jaga undan for Israels-sønerne.
There were also cultic prostitutes in the land. They did the same despicable practices as the nations that Yahweh had driven out before the people of Israel.
25 I femte styringsåret åt Rehabeam drog egyptarkongen Sisak upp imot Jerusalem.
It happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.
26 Og han tok skattarne i Herrens hus og skattarne i kongshuset; alt saman tok han. Han tok alle gullskjoldarne og, som Salomo hadde late gjera.
He took away the treasures in the house of Yahweh, and the treasures in the king's house. He took everything away; he also took all the shields of gold that Solomon had made.
27 I deira stad fekk kong Rehabeam gjort koparskjoldar og gav deim i varveitsla til hovdingarne for livvakti, dei som heldt vakt ved inngangen til kongshuset;
King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place and entrusted them into the hands of the commanders of the guard, who guarded the doors to the king's house.
28 og kvar gong kongen gjekk til Herrens hus, bar vaktmennerne deim og tok deim so attende til vaktstova.
It happened that whenever the king entered the house of Yahweh, the guards would carry them; then they would bring them back into the guardhouse.
29 Det som elles er å fortelja um Rehabeam, um alt det han gjorde, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Juda-kongarne.
As for the other matters concerning Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?
30 Millom Rehabeam og Jerobeam var det ufred stødt.
There was constant warfare between Rehoboam and Jeroboam.
31 Og Rehabeam lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine, og vart gravlagd hjå federne sine i Davidsbyen. Mor hans heitte Na’ama, ammonitkvinna. Og Abiam, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
So Rehoboam slept with his ancestors and was buried with them in the city of David. His mother's name was Naamah the Ammonite woman. Abijah his son became king in his place.
