Første Kongebog 11

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

And King Solomon has loved many strange women, and the daughter of Pharaoh, females of Moab, Ammon, Edom, Sidon, [and] of the 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 YHWH said to the sons of Israel, “You do not go in to them, and they do not go in to you; surely they turn aside your heart after their gods”; Solomon has cleaved to them for love.

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

And he has seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turn aside 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 comes to pass, at the time of Solomon’s old age, his wives have turned aside his heart after other gods, and his heart has not been perfect with his God YHWH, like the heart of his father David.

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

And Solomon goes after Ashtoreth 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 does evil in the eyes of YHWH, and has not been fully after YHWH, like his father David.

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 builds a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, in the hill that [is] on the front of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the sons of Ammon;

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

and so he has done for all his strange women, who are perfuming and sacrificing 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 YHWH shows Himself angry with Solomon, for his heart has turned aside from YHWH, 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 given a charge to him concerning this thing, not to go after other gods; and he has not kept that which YHWH 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 YHWH says to Solomon, “Because that this has been with you, and you have not kept My covenant and My statutes that I charged on you, I surely tear the kingdom from you, and have given it to your servant.

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

Only, I do not do it in your days, for the sake of your father David; I tear it out of the hand of your 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 do not tear away all of the kingdom; I give one tribe to your son, for the sake of My servant David, and for the sake of Jerusalem that I have chosen.”

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

And YHWH raises up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he [is] of the seed of the king 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.

and it comes to pass, in David’s being with Edom, in the going up of Joab head of the host to bury the slain, that he strikes every male in Edom—

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

for six months Joab abided there, and all Israel, until the cutting off of 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.

and Hadad flees, he and certain Edomites, of the servants of his father, with him, to go to Egypt, and Hadad [is] a little youth,

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 rise out of Midian, and come into Paran, and take men with them out of Paran, and come into Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he gives a house to him, and has commanded bread for him, and has given land to him.

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

And Hadad finds grace in the eyes of Pharaoh exceedingly, and he gives to him a wife, the sister of his own wife, sister of Tahpenes the mistress;

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 bears to him his son Genubath, and Tahpenes weans him within the house of Pharaoh, and Genubath is in the house of Pharaoh in the midst of 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 has heard in Egypt that David has lain with his fathers, and that Joab head of the host is dead, and Hadad says to Pharaoh, “Send me away, and I go to my land.”

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 says to him, “But what are you lacking with me, that behold, you are seeking to go to your own land?” And he says, “Nothing, but you certainly send me away.”

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

And God raises an adversary against him, Rezon son of Eliadah, who has 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 gathers men to himself, and is head of a troop in David’s slaying them, and they go to Damascus, and dwell in it, and reign 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 is an adversary against Israel all the days of Solomon (besides the evil that Hadad [did]), and he cuts off in Israel, and reigns over Aram.

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 son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zereda—the name of whose mother [is] Zeruah, a widow woman—servant to Solomon, he also lifts up a 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 thing [for] which he lifted up a hand against the king: Solomon built Millo—he shut up the breach of the city of his father David,

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 [is] mighty in valor, and Solomon sees that the young man is doing business, and appoints him over all the burden 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 comes to pass, at that time, that Jeroboam has gone out from Jerusalem, and Ahijah the Shilonite, the prophet, finds him in the way, and he is covering himself with a new garment; and both of them [are] by themselves in a field,

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

and Ahijah lays hold on the new garment that [is] on him, and tears it [into] 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 says to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces for yourself, for thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Behold, I am tearing the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and have given the ten tribes to you,

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 he has the one tribe for My servant David’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake, the city which I have fixed on, 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 bow themselves to Ashtoreth, goddess of the Zidonians, to Chemosh god of Moab, and to Milcom god of the sons of Ammon, and have not walked in My ways, to do that which [is] right in My eyes, and My statutes and My judgments, like his father David.

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.

And I do not take the whole of the kingdom out of his hand, for I make him prince all [the] days of his life, for the sake of My servant David whom I chose, who kept My commands and My statutes;

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

and I have taken the kingdom out of the hand of his son, and given it to you—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 to his son I give one tribe, for there being a lamp before Me for My servant David in Jerusalem [for] all the days, 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 take you, and you have reigned over all that your soul desires, and you have been 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 has been, if you hear all that I command you, and have walked in My ways, and done that which is right in My eyes, to keep My statutes and My commands, as My servant David did, that I have been with you, and have built a steadfast house for you, as I built for David, and have given Israel to you,

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

and I humble the seed of David for this; only, not [for] all the days.”

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 seeks to put Jeroboam to death, and Jeroboam rises and flees to Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and he is 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 matters of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written on the scroll of the matters of Solomon?

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

And the days that Solomon has reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel [are] 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 lies with his fathers, and is buried in the city of his father David, and his son Rehoboam reigns in his stead.
