Første Kongebog 14
1 Paa samme Tid blev Abia, Jeroboams Søn, syg.
At that time Abijah son of Jeroboam became ill,
2 Og Jeroboam sagde til sin Hustru: Kære, gør dig rede og forklæd dig, at de ikke skulle kende, at du er Jeroboams Hustru, og gak til Silo; se, der er Ahia, Profeten, han talte til mig, at jeg skulde være Konge over dette Folk.
and Jeroboam said to his wife, “Now get up, disguise yourself so they will not recognize you as my wife, and go to Shiloh. For Ahijah the prophet is there; it was he who spoke about my kingship over this people.
3 Og du skal tage ti Brød og Kager med dig og en Krukke med Honning og gaa til ham; han skal kundgøre dig, hvad der skal vederfares Drengen.
Take with you ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will become of the boy.”
4 Og Jeroboams Hustru gjorde saa og gjorde sig rede og gik til Silo og kom til Ahias Hus, og Ahia kunde ikke se, thi hans Øjne vare dunkle af hans høje Alder.
Jeroboam’s wife did as instructed; she arose and went to Shiloh and arrived at Ahijah’s house. Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were dim because of his age.
5 Men Herren havde sagt til Ahia: Se, Jeroboams Hustru kommer at udspørge dig i en Sag om sin Søn, thi han er syg; saa og saa skal du tale til hende, og det skal ske, naar hun kommer, da vil hun anstille sig fremmed.
But the LORD had said to Ahijah, “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to ask you about her son, for he is ill. You are to say such and such to her, because when she arrives, she will be disguised.”
6 Og det skete, der Ahia hørte hendes Fødders Lyd, da hun gik ind ad Døren, da sagde han: Kom ind, Jeroboams Hustru! hvi anstiller du dig fremmed? thi jeg er sendt til dig med et haardt Budskab.
So when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet entering the door, he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam! Why are you disguised? For I have been sent to you with bad news.
7 Gak, sig til Jeroboam: Saa sagde Herren, Israels Gud: Fordi jeg har ophøjet dig midt af Folket og sat dig til en Fyrste over mit Folk Israel,
Go, tell Jeroboam that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I raised you up from among the people and appointed you ruler over My people Israel.
8 og jeg har revet Riget fra Davids Hus og givet dig det, og du har ikke været som min Tjener David, som holdt mine Bud, og som vandrede efter mig af sit ganske Hjerte til at gøre alene, hvad ret var for mine Øjne;
I tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you. But you were not like My servant David, who kept My commandments and followed Me with all his heart, doing only what was right in My eyes.
9 men du har gjort ilde fremfor alle, som have været før dig, og du er gaaet hen og har gjort dig andre Guder og støbte Billeder til at opirre mig og har kastet mig bag din Ryg:
You have done more evil than all who came before you. You have proceeded to make for yourself other gods and molten images to provoke Me, and you have flung Me behind your back.
10 Se, derfor vil jeg føre Ulykke over Jeroboams Hus, og jeg vil udrydde af Jeroboams enhver, som er af Mandkøn, baade den bundne og den løsladte i Israel, og borttage Jeroboams Hus's Efterkommere, ligesom man borttager Skarnet, indtil det er aldeles ude med ham.
Because of all this, behold, I am bringing disaster on the house of Jeroboam: I will cut off from Jeroboam every male, both slave and free, in Israel; I will burn up the house of Jeroboam as one burns up dung until it is gone!
11 Den af Jeroboams, som dør i Staden, skulle Hundene æde, og den, der dør paa Marken, skulle Himmelens Fugle æde; thi Herren har talt det.
Anyone belonging to Jeroboam who dies in the city will be eaten by dogs, and anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the air.’
12 Saa gør du dig rede, gak til dit Hus; naar dine Fødder komme ind i Staden, da skal Barnet dø.
As for you, get up and go home. When your feet enter the city, the child will die.
13 Og al Israel skal begræde ham, og de skulle begrave ham, thi denne aleneste skal komme i Graven af Jeroboams, fordi der er noget godt fundet hos ham, for Herren Israels Gud, i Jeroboams Hus.
All Israel will mourn for him and bury him. For this is the only one belonging to Jeroboam who will receive a proper burial, because only in him has the LORD, the God of Israel, found any good in the house of Jeroboam.
14 Og Herren skal oprejse sig en Konge over Israel, som skal udrydde Jeroboams Hus paa samme Dag; og hvad om det alt nu sker?
Moreover, the LORD will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who will cut off the house of Jeroboam. This is the day—yes, even today!
15 Og Herren skal slaa Israel, ligesom Røret bevæges i Vandet, og oprykke Israel af dette gode Land, som han gav deres Fædre, og bortstrø dem paa hin Side Floden, fordi de gjorde sig Astartebilleder og opirrede Herren.
For the LORD will strike Israel as a reed is shaken in the water. He will uproot Israel from this good land that He gave their fathers, and He will scatter them beyond the Euphrates, because they have made their Asherah poles, provoking the LORD to anger.
16 Og han skal overgive Israel for Jeroboams Synders Skyld, med hvilke han forsyndede sig, og kom Israel til at synde.
So He will give Israel over on account of the sins Jeroboam has committed and has caused Israel to commit.”
17 Da gjorde Jeroboams Hustru sig rede og gik og kom til Thirza; der hun kom paa Dørtærskelen af Huset, da døde Drengen.
Then Jeroboam’s wife got up and departed for Tirzah, and as soon as she stepped over the threshold of the house, the boy died.
18 Og de begrove ham, og al Israel begræd ham, efter Herrens Ord, som han talte ved sin Tjener Ahia, Profeten.
And they buried him, and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word that the LORD had spoken through His servant Ahijah the prophet.
19 Men det øvrige af Jeroboams Handeler, hvorledes han stred, og hvorledes han regerede, se, de Ting ere skrevne i Israels Kongers Krønikers Bog.
As for the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he waged war and how he reigned, they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
20 Men de Dage, i hvilke Jeroboam var Konge, ere to og tyve Aar, og han laa med sine Fædre, og hans Søn, Nadab, blev Konge i hans Sted.
And the length of Jeroboam’s reign was twenty-two years, and he rested with his fathers, and his son Nadab reigned in his place.
21 Og Roboam, Salomos Søn, var Konge i Juda; Roboam var et og fyrretyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede sytten Aar i Jerusalem, den Stad, som Herren havde udvalgt af alle Israels Stammer til at sætte sit Navn der; og hans Moders Navn var Naema, den ammonitiske.
Meanwhile, Rehoboam son of Solomon reigned in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel in which to put His Name. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite.
22 Og Juda gjorde det onde for Herrens Øjne, og de opvakte hans Nidkærhed langt mere, end deres Fædre havde gjort, med deres Synder, hvormed de syndede.
And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and by the sins they committed they provoked Him to jealous anger more than all their fathers had done.
23 Thi ogsaa de opførte sig Høje og Støtter og Astartebilleder paa hver ophøjet Høj og under hvert grønt Træ.
They also built for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
24 Og der var ogsaa Skørlevnere i Landet, de gjorde efter alle de Hedningers Vederstyggeligheder, som Herren havde fordrevet fra Israels Børns Ansigt.
There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land. They imitated all the abominations of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
25 Og det skete i Kong Roboams femte Aar, at Sisak, Kongen af Ægypten, drog op imod Jerusalem.
In the fifth year of Rehoboam’s reign, Shishak king of Egypt came up and attacked Jerusalem.
26 Og han tog Liggendefæet i Herrens Hus og Liggendefæet i Kongens Hus og borttog alle Ting og tog alle de Skjolde af Guld, som Salomo havde ladet gøre.
He seized the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the royal palace. He took everything, including all the gold shields that Solomon had made.
27 Og Kong Roboam lod gøre Kobberskjolde i deres Sted og betroede dem i de øverste Drabanters Haand, som toge Vare paa Døren for Kongens Hus.
Then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place and committed them to the care of the captains of the guard on duty at the entrance to the royal palace.
28 Og det skete, saa tidt Kongen gik ind i Herrens Hus, bare Drabanterne dem frem, og de bare dem tilbage i Drabanternes Kammer.
And whenever the king entered the house of the LORD, the guards would bear the shields, and later they would return them to the guardroom.
29 Men det øvrige af Roboams Handeler og alt det, han gjorde, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog?
As for the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, along with all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
30 Og der var Krig imellem Roboam og imellem Jeroboam alle Dagene.
There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam throughout their days.
31 Og Roboam laa med sine Fædre og blev begraven hos sine Fædre i Davids Stad, og hans Moders Navn var Naema, den ammonitiske; og Abiam, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.
And Rehoboam rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David; his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite. And his son Abijam reigned in his place.
