Første Kongebog 11
1 Og Kong Salomo elskede mange fremmede Kvinder foruden Faraos Datter, moabitiske, ammonitiske, edomitiske, zidonitiske, hethitiske,
Now King Solomon loved many foreign women including the daughter of Pharaoh—women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and 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.
They were from the nations about which Yahweh said to the people of Israel, “You will not go among them to marry, neither will they come among you, for they will certainly turn your heart to their gods.” In spite of this command, Solomon was affectionate toward these women in love.
3 Og hans Hustruer vare syv Hundrede Fruer og tre Hundrede Medhustruer; og hans Hustruer bøjede hans Hjerte.
Solomon had seven hundred royal wives and three hundred concubines. His wives turned his heart away.
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.
For when Solomon grew old, his wives turned away his heart after other gods; his heart was not fully surrendered to Yahweh his God, as was the heart of David his father.
5 Thi Salomo vandrede efter Astoreth, Zidoniernes Gud, og efter Milkom, Ammoniternes Vederstyggelighed.
For Solomon followed Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and he followed Molech, the disgusting 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.
Solomon did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh; he did not fully follow Yahweh as David his father had done.
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 high place for Chemosh, the disgusting idol of Moab, on a hill east of Jerusalem, and also for Molech, the disgusting idol of the people of Ammon.
8 Og saa gjorde han for alle sine fremmede Kvinder, som gave Røgelse og ofrede til deres Guder.
He also built high places for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods at them.
9 Og Herren blev vred paa Salomo, fordi hans Hjerte bøjede sig fra Herren, Israels Gud, som havde aabenbaret sig for ham to Gange,
Yahweh was angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from him, the God of Israel, even though he 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 commanded him about this very thing, that he should not go after other gods. But Solomon did not obey what Yahweh 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.
Therefore Yahweh said to Solomon, “Because you have done this and have not kept the covenant and my statutes that I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you and give 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.
However, for David your father's sake, I will not do it in your lifetime, but I will 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.
Yet I will not tear away all the kingdom; I will give one tribe to your son for David my servant's sake, and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”
14 Og Herren opvakte Salomo en Modstander, nemlig Edomiteren Hadad, han var af Kongens Sæd i Edom.
Then Yahweh raised up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite. He was from the royal family of 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.
When David was in Edom, Joab the captain of the army had gone up to bury the dead, every man who had been killed in Edom.
16 Thi Joab og al Israel bleve der seks Maaneder, indtil han havde udryddet alt Mandkøn i Edom.
Joab and all Israel remained there six months until he had killed 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.
But Hadad was taken with other Edomites by his father's servants into Egypt, since Hadad was still 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.
They left Midian and came to Paran, from where they took men with them to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house and land and food.
19 Og Hadad fandt stor Naade for Faraos Øjne; og han gav ham til Hustru sin Hustrus Søster, Dronning Takfenes's Søster.
Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that Pharaoh gave him a wife, his own wife's sister, 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.
The sister of Tahpenes gave birth to Hadad's son. They named him Genubath. Tahpenes raised him in Pharaoh's palace. So Genubath lived in Pharaoh's palace among the children 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.
While he was in Egypt, Hadad heard that David had lain down with his ancestors and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me depart, so 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.
Then Pharaoh said to him, “But what have you lacked with me, that you now seek to go to your own country?” Hadad answered, “Nothing. Please 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 another adversary to Solomon, Rezon son of Eliada, who had fled from his master Hadadezer king of Zobah.
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.
Rezon gathered men to himself and became captain over a small force, when David defeated the men of Zobah. Rezon's men went to Damascus and lived there, and Rezon controlled 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.
He was an enemy of Israel all the days of Solomon, along with the trouble that Hadad caused. Rezon abhorred Israel and reigned 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.
Then Jeroboam son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, an official of Solomon, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow, also 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.
He lifted up his hand against the king because Solomon had built up the place located at Millo and repaired the opening in the city wall 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.
Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor. Solomon saw that the young man was industrious, so he gave him command over all the labor 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.
At that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the road. Now Ahijah had dressed in a new garment and the two men 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 grabbed hold of the new garment that was on him and tore 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.
He said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces, for Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, 'Look, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and I will give 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 Solomon will have one tribe, for my servant David's sake and for Jerusalem's sake—the city that 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 worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Molech the god of the people of Ammon. They have not walked in my ways, to do what is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my decrees, 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.
However, I will not take the whole kingdom out of Solomon's hand. Instead, I have made him ruler all the days of his life, for David my servant's sake whom I chose, the one 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 I will give it to you, 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.
I will give one tribe to Solomon's son, so that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem, the city in which I have chosen to put my name.
37 Og dig vil jeg antage, at du skal regere over alt det, din Sjæl begærer, og du skal være Konge over Israel.
I will take you, and you will rule to fulfill all that you desire, and you will 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 you listen to all that I command you, and if you walk in my ways and do what is right in my eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, then I will be with you and will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.
39 Og jeg vil ydmyge Davids Sæd for denne Sags Skyld, dog ikke alle Dage.
I will punish the descendants of David, but not forever.'”
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.
So Solomon tried to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam got up and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and he remained 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?
As for the other matters concerning Solomon, all that he did and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the events of Solomon?
42 Men Dagene, som Salomo var Konge i Jerusalem over al Israel, vare fyrretyve Aar.
Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel for 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.
He slept with his ancestors and he was buried in the city of David his father. Rehoboam his son became king in his place.
