Første Kongebog 11

1 Og Kong Salomo elskede mange fremmede Kvinder foruden Faraos Datter, moabitiske, ammonitiske, edomitiske, zidonitiske, hethitiske,

But king Solomon loved many foreign women, besides the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, Hittites;

2 af de Hedninger, om hvilke Herren havde sagt til Israels Børn: Gaar ikke ind til dem og lader dem ikke komme ind til eder, de skulle visselig bøje eders Hjerter efter deres Guder; ved disse hængte Salomo med Kærlighed.

of the nations of which Jehovah had said to the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in to you; they would certainly turn away your heart after their gods: to these Solomon was attached in love.

3 Og hans Hustruer vare syv Hundrede Fruer og tre Hundrede Medhustruer; og hans Hustruer bøjede hans Hjerte.

And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart.

4 Og det skete, den Tid Salomo blev gammel, bøjede hans Hustruer hans Hjerte efter andre Guder; og hans Hjerte var ikke helt med Herren hans Gud som Davids, hans Faders, Hjerte.

And it came to pass when Solomon was old, [that] his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, as the heart of David his father.

5 Thi Salomo vandrede efter Astoreth, Zidoniernes Gud, og efter Milkom, Ammoniternes Vederstyggelighed.

And Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

6 Og Salomo gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne, og vandrede ikke fuldkommelig efter Herren som David, hans Fader.

And Solomon did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and followed not fully Jehovah, as David his father.

7 Da byggede Salomo en Høj til Kamos, Moabs Vederstyggelighed, paa Bjerget, som ligger lige for Jerusalem, og til Molek, Ammons Børns Vederstyggelighed.

Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, on the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.

8 Og saa gjorde han for alle sine fremmede Kvinder, som gave Røgelse og ofrede til deres Guder.

And so he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

9 Og Herren blev vred paa Salomo, fordi hans Hjerte bøjede sig fra Herren, Israels Gud, som havde aabenbaret sig for ham to Gange,

And Jehovah was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Jehovah the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,

10 og som havde givet ham Befaling om denne Sag, at han ikke skulde vandre efter andre Guder, og han holdt ikke det, som Herren havde befalet.

and had commanded him concerning this thing, not to go after other gods; but he kept not what Jehovah had commanded.

11 Derfor sagde Herren til Salomo: Efterdi saadant er hos dig, og du ikke har holdt min Pagt og mine Skikke, som jeg har budet dig, vil jeg visselig rive Riget fra dig og give din Tjener det.

And Jehovah said to Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done by thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes which I commanded thee, I will certainly rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant:

12 Dog vil jeg ikke gøre det i dine Dage, for Davids, din Faders, Skyld; af din Søns Haand vil jeg rive det.

notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father's sake; I will rend it out of the hand of thy son;

13 Dog vil jeg ikke rive det ganske Rige fra dig; een Stamme vil jeg give din Søn, for Davids, min Tjeners Skyld, og for Jerusalems Skyld, som jeg har udvalgt.

only, I will not rend away all the kingdom: I will give one tribe to thy son, for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.

14 Og Herren opvakte Salomo en Modstander, nemlig Edomiteren Hadad, han var af Kongens Sæd i Edom.

And Jehovah stirred up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was of the king's seed in Edom.

15 Thi det skete, der David var i Edom, der Joab, Stridshøvedsmanden, drog op at begrave de ihjelslagne, da slog han alt Mandkøn i Edom.

Now it came to pass when David was in Edom, when Joab the captain of the host had gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom

16 Thi Joab og al Israel bleve der seks Maaneder, indtil han havde udryddet alt Mandkøn i Edom.

(for Joab abode there six months with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom),

17 Men Hadad flyede, han og nogle edomitiske Mænd af hans Faders Tjenere med ham, for at komme til Ægypten, og Hadad var en liden Dreng.

that Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt, Hadad being yet a little child.

18 Og de droge op fra Midian og kom til Paran, og de toge Mænd med sig fra Paran og kom til Ægypten til Farao, Kongen i Ægypten, og han gav ham et Hus og tilsagde ham Underholdning og gav ham Land.

And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran, and took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt; who gave him a house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.

19 Og Hadad fandt stor Naade for Faraos Øjne; og han gav ham til Hustru sin Hustrus Søster, Dronning Takfenes's Søster.

And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, and he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.

20 Og Takfenes's Søster fødte ham Genubath, hans Søn, og Takfenes afvante ham udi Faraos Hus, og Genubath var i Faraos Hus midt iblandt Faraos Børn.

And the sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son; and Tahpenes brought him up in Pharaoh's house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh's household, among the sons of Pharaoh.

21 Der Hadad hørte i Ægypten, at David laa med sine Fædre, og at Joab, Stridshøvedsmanden, var død, da sagde Hadad til Farao: Lad mig fare, at jeg kan drage til mit Land.

And Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead; and Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country.

22 Og Farao sagde til ham: Men hvad fattes dig hos mig? og se, du søger at drage til dit Land; og han sagde: Mig fattes intet, men lad mig dog fare.

And Pharaoh said to him, What then dost thou lack with me, that behold, thou desirest to go to thine own country? And he said, Nothing; but in any case let me depart.

23 Gud opvakte ham ogsaa en Modstander, Reson, Eljadas Søn, som flyede fra sin Herre Hadad-Eser, Kongen af Zoba,

God stirred him up yet an adversary, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from Hadadezer king of Zobah, his lord.

24 og samlede Mænd til sig og blev Høvedsmand for en Trop, der David slog dem; og de droge til Damaskus og boede i den og regerede i Damaskus.

And he collected men to him, and became captain of a band, when David slew them [of Zobah]; and they went to Damascus, and dwelt there, and reigned in Damascus.

25 Og han var Israels Modstander alle Salomos Dage, og det var foruden det onde, som Hadad gjorde; og han hadede Israel og blev Konge over Syrien.

And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the mischief that Hadad [did]; and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.

26 Og Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, en Efratiter fra Zareda, hvis Moders Navn var Zerua, en Enke, Salomos Tjener, han opløftede ogsaa Haand imod Kongen.

And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zeredah, Solomon's servant (whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow woman), even he lifted up his hand against the king.

27 Og dette er Sagen, hvorfor han opløftede Haand imod Kongen: Salomo byggede Millo og tillukkede det aabne Sted paa Davids sin Faders Stad.

And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon was building Millo, and closing the breach of the city of David his father;

28 Og Manden Jeroboam var et dygtigt Menneske, og der Salomo saa den unge Karl, at han udrettede Gerningen vel, da beskikkede han ham over alt Josefs Hus's Arbejde.

and the man Jeroboam was strong and valiant; and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph.

29 Og det skete paa samme Tid, da Jeroboam gik ud af Jerusalem, at Siloniteren Ahia, Profeten, traf ham paa Vejen og han var iført et nyt Klædebon, og de to vare alene paa Marken.

And it came to pass at that time that Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, and the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field.

30 Og Ahia tog fat i det nye Klædebon, som han havde paa sig, og han rev det i tolv Stykker.

Then Ahijah seized the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces;

31 Og han sagde til Jeroboam: Tag ti Stykker til dig; thi saa siger Herren, Israels Gud: Se, jeg river Riget af Salomos Haand og vil give dig de ti Stammer.

and said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces; for thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee;

32 Men han skal have den ene Stamme for min Tjener Davids Skyld og for Jerusalems Stads Skyld, som jeg udvalgte af alle Israels Stammer;

but one tribe shall he have for my servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:

33 fordi de have forladt mig og nedbøjet sig for Astoreth, Zidoniernes Gud, for Kamos, Moabiternes Gud, og for Milkom, Ammons Børns Gud, og de have ikke vandret i mine Veje til at gøre, hvad ret var for mine Øjne, og mine Skikke og mine Forskrifter som David hans Fader.

because they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my sight, and my statutes and mine ordinances, as David his father.

34 Dog vil jeg ikke tage noget af Riget ud af hans Haand; men jeg vil lade ham blive en Fyrste i alle hans Livs Dage, for Davids min Tjeners Skyld, som jeg udvalgte, som holdt mine Bud og mine Skikke.

But I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand; for I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes;

35 Men jeg vil tage Riget ud af hans Søns Haand og give dig de ti Stammer.

but I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto thee, — the ten tribes.

36 Og jeg vil give hans Søn en Stamme, paa det David, min Tjener, skal alle Dage have et Lys for mit Ansigt i Jerusalem, den Stad, som jeg udvalgte mig, at sætte mit Navn der.

And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a lamp always before me in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen for myself to put my name there.

37 Og dig vil jeg antage, at du skal regere over alt det, din Sjæl begærer, og du skal være Konge over Israel.

And I will take thee, that thou mayest reign over all that thy soul desireth, and thou shalt be king over Israel.

38 Og det skal ske, dersom du hører alt det, jeg byder dig, og vandrer i mine Veje og gør det, som er ret for mine Øjne, at holde mine Skikke og mine Bud, saaledes som David, min Tjener, gjorde: Da vil jeg være med dig og bygge et bestandigt Hus, saaledes som jeg byggede David, og give dig Israel.

And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that which is right in my sight, in keeping my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, that I will be with thee, and build thee a lasting house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.

39 Og jeg vil ydmyge Davids Sæd for denne Sags Skyld, dog ikke alle Dage.

And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.

40 Og Salomo søgte efter at dræbe Jeroboam; da gjorde Jeroboam sig rede og flyede til Ægypten, til Sisak, Kongen i Ægypten, og blev i Ægypten, indtil Salomo døde.

And Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam; and Jeroboam arose and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt; and he was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.

41 Men det øvrige af Salomos Handeler, og alt, hvad han har gjort, og hans Visdom, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Salomos Krønikers Bog?

And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?

42 Men Dagene, som Salomo var Konge i Jerusalem over al Israel, vare fyrretyve Aar.

And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

43 Og Salomo laa med sine Fædre og blev begraven i Davids, sin Faders, Stad; og Roboam, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.

And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
