Første Kongebog 11

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

And king Solomon loved many strange women besides the daughter of Pharao, and women of Moab, and of Ammon, and of Edom, and of Sidon, and of the Hethites:

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 concerning which the Lord said to the children of Israel: You shall not go in unto them, neither shall any of them come in to yours: for they will most certainly turn away your heart to follow their gods. And to these was Solomon joined with a most ardent 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 as queens, and three hundred concubines: and the women 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 when he was now old, his heart was turned away by women to follow strange gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.

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

But Solomon worshipped Astarthe the goddess of the Sidonians, and Moloch the idol 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 that which was net pleasing before the Lord, and did not fully follow the Lord, 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 Solomon built a temple for Chamos the idol of Moab, on the hill that is over against Jerusalem, and for Moloch the idol of the children of Ammon.

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

And he did in this manner for all his wives that were strangers, who burnt incense, and offered sacrifice 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 the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his mind was turned away from the Lord 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, that he should not follow strange gods: but he kept not the things which the Lord commanded him.

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.

The Lord therefore said to Solomon: Because thou hast done this, and hast not kept my covenant, and my precepts, which I have commanded thee, I will divide and rend thy kingdom, 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.

Nevertheless in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father’s sake: but 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.

Neither will I take away the whole kingdom, but I will give one tribe to thy son for the sake of David my servant, and Jerusalem which I have chosen.

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

And the Lord raised up an adversary to Solomon, Adad the Edomite 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.

For when David was in Edom, and Joab the general of the army was gone up to bury them that were slain, and had killed every male in Edom,

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

(For Joab remained there six months with all Israel, till he had slain 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.

Then Adad fled, he and certain Edomites, of his father’s servants with him, to go into Egypt: and Adad was then a little boy.

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 Madian, and came into Pharan, and they took men with them from Pharan, and went into Egypt to Pharao the king of Egypt: who gave him a house, and appointed him victuals, and assigned 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 Adad found great favour before Pharao, insomuch that he gave him to wife, the own sister of his wife Taphnes 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 Taphnes bore him his son Genubath, and Taphnes brought him up in the house of Pharao: and Genubath dwelt with Pharao among his children.

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 when Adad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the general of the army was dead, he said to Pharao: Let me depart, that I may go to my 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 Pharao said to him: Why, what is wanting to thee with me, that thou seekest to go to thy own country? But he answered: Nothing: yet I beseech thee to let me go.

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

God also raised up against him an adversary, Razon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his master Adarezer the king of Soba:

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 gathered men against him, and he became a captain of robbers, when David slew them of Soba: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt there, and they made him king 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: and this is the evil of Adad, and his hatred against Israel, and he reigned in 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.

Jeroboam also the son of Nabat an Ephrathite of Sareda, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was named Sarua, a widow woman, 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 is the cause of his rebellion against him, for Solomon built Mello, and filled up 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 Jeroboam was a valiant and mighty man: and Solomon seeing him a young man ingenious and industrious, made him chief over the tributes of all 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.

So it came to paste at that time, that Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, and the prophet Ahias the Silonite, clad with a new garment, found him in the way: and they two were alone in the held.

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

And Ahias taking his new garment, wherewith he was clad, divided it into twelve parts:

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

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 remain to him for the sake of my servant David, and Jerusalem 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 he hath forsaken me, and hath adored Astarthe the goddess of the Sidonians, and Chamos the god of Moab, and Moloch the god of the children of Ammon: and hath not walked in my ways, to do justice before me, and to keep my precepts, and judgments as did 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.

Yet I will not take away all the kingdom out of his hand, but 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 precepts.

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

But I will take away the kingdom out of his son’s hand and will give thee 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 to his son I will give one tribe, that there may remain a lamp for my servant David before me always in Jerusalem the city which I have chosen, that my name might be 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, and thou shalt 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.

If then thou wilt hearken to all that I shall command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do what is right before me, keeping my commandments and my precepts, as David my servant did: I will be with thee, and will build thee up a faithful house, as I built a house for David, and I will deliver Israel to 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 yet 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.

Solomon therefore sought to kill Jeroboam: but he arose, and fled into Egypt to Sesac the king of Egypt, and was in Egypt till 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 words of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom: behold they are all written in the book of the words of the days of Solomon.

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

And the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel, were 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 Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
