Første Kongebog 14

1 Paa samme Tid blev Abia, Jeroboams Søn, syg.

At that time Abijah, the 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 come, put on different clothing so that you may not seem to be the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh; see, Ahijah is there, the prophet who said I would be king 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.

And take with you ten cakes of bread and dry cakes and a pot of honey, and go to him: he will give you word of what is to become of the child.

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.

So Jeroboam's wife did so, and got up and went to Shiloh and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah was unable to see, because he was very old.

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.

And the Lord had said to Ahijah, The wife of Jeroboam is coming to get news from you about her son, who is ill; give her such and such an answer; for she will make herself seem to be another woman.

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.

Then Ahijah, hearing the sound of her footsteps coming in at the door, said, Come in, O wife of Jeroboam; why do you make yourself seem like another? for I am sent to you with bitter 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, say to Jeroboam, These are the words of the Lord, the God of Israel: Though I took you from among the people, lifting you up to be a 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;

And took the kingdom away by force from the seed of David and gave it to you, you have not been like my servant David, who kept my orders, and was true to 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:

But you have done evil more than any before you, and have made for yourself other gods, and images of metal, moving me to wrath, and turning your back on me.

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.

So I will send evil on the line of Jeroboam, cutting off from his family every male child, those who are shut up and those who go free in Israel; the family of Jeroboam will be brushed away like a man brushing away waste till it is all 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.

Those of the family of Jeroboam who come to death in the town, will become food for the dogs; and those on whom death comes in the open country, will be food for the birds of the air; for the Lord has said it.

12 Saa gør du dig rede, gak til dit Hus; naar dine Fødder komme ind i Staden, da skal Barnet dø.

Up, then! go back to your house; and in the hour when your feet go into the town, the death of the child will take place.

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.

And all Israel will put his body to rest, weeping over him, because he only of the family of Jeroboam will be put into his resting-place in the earth; for of all the family of Jeroboam, in him only has the Lord, the God of Israel, seen some good.

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?

And the Lord will put up a king over Israel who will send destruction on the family of Jeroboam in that day;

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.

And even now the hand of the Lord has come down on Israel, shaking it like a river-grass in the water; and, uprooting Israel from this good land, which he gave to their fathers, he will send them this way and that on the other side of the River; because they have made for themselves images, moving the Lord to wrath.

16 Og han skal overgive Israel for Jeroboams Synders Skyld, med hvilke han forsyndede sig, og kom Israel til at synde.

And he will give Israel up because of the sins which Jeroboam has done and made Israel do.

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 went away and came to Tirzah; and when she came to the doorway of the house, death came to the child.

18 Og de begrove ham, og al Israel begræd ham, efter Herrens Ord, som han talte ved sin Tjener Ahia, Profeten.

And all Israel put his body to rest, weeping over him, as the Lord had said by 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.

Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he made war and how he became king, are recorded in the book of the history 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 Jeroboam was king for twenty-two years, and was put to rest with his fathers, and Nadab his son became king 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.

And Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, was king in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he was king for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the town which the Lord had made his out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there; his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman.

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 eyes of the Lord, and made him more angry than their fathers had done by their sins.

23 Thi ogsaa de opførte sig Høje og Støtter og Astartebilleder paa hver ophøjet Høj og under hvert grønt Træ.

For they made high places and upright stones and wood pillars 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.

And more than this, there were those in the land who were used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods, doing the same disgusting crimes as the nations which the Lord had sent out before the children of Israel.

25 Og det skete i Kong Roboams femte Aar, at Sisak, Kongen af Ægypten, drog op imod Jerusalem.

Now in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against 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.

And took away all the stored wealth from the house of the Lord, and from the king's house, and all the gold body-covers which 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.

So in their place King Rehoboam had other body-covers made of brass, and gave them into the care of the captains of the armed men who were stationed at the door of the king's house.

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 went into the house of the Lord, the armed men went with him taking the body-covers, and then took them back to their room.

29 Men det øvrige af Roboams Handeler og alt det, han gjorde, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog?

Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

30 Og der var Krig imellem Roboam og imellem Jeroboam alle Dagene.

And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all 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 went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman. And Abijam his son became king in his place.
