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, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, [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.

Of the nations [concerning] which the LORD said to the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in to you: [for] surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon cleaved to these 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.

For 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 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.

For 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 the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as [did] 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 high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in 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 likewise did he for all his foreign wives, who burnt 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 the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD 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 go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD 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.

Wherefore the LORD said to Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done by thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes which I have commanded thee, I will surely 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: [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.

Yet, I will not rend away all the kingdom; [but] 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 the LORD 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.

For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and 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 six months did Joab remain there 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 they took men with them from 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 favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him for a 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, whom Tahpenes weaned 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 when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, 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.

Then Pharaoh said to him, But what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thy own country? And he answered, Nothing: yet, in any wise let me go.

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

And God stirred him up [another] adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, who fled from his lord 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.

And he gathered men to him, and became captain over a band, when David slew them [of Zobah]: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt in it, 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 Zereda, Solomon's servant, whose mother's name [was] Zeruah, a widow woman, even he raised [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 why he raised [his] hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, [and] repaired the breaches 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] a mighty man of valor: and Solomon, seeing the young man that he was industrious, 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 when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that 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.

And Ahijah caught 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 he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom from 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 he shall have one tribe 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 worshiped 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 eyes, and [to keep] my statutes and my 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 the whole 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, because he 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 to thee, [even] 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 will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for me 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, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and 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 to all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give 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 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 sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and 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.
