Første Kongebog 14

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

At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.

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, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam: and get thee to Shiloh; behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, which spake concerning me that I should 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 thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what shall 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.

And Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason 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.

And the LORD said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to inquire of thee concerning her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign herself 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.

And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou thyself to be another? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings.

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, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince 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 rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in mine 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 hast done evil above all that were before thee, and hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy 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.

therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam every man child, him that is shut up and him that is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweepeth away dung, till it be 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.

Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the LORD hath spoken it.

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

Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine house: [and] when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall 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.

And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave: because in him there is found some good thing toward the LORD, the God of Israel, 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 shall raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even now. n

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 shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the River; because they have made their Asherim, 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.

And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he hath sinned, and wherewith he hath made Israel to sin.

17 Da gjorde Jeroboams Hustru sig rede og gik og kom til Thirza; der hun kom paa Dørtærskelen af Huset, da døde Drengen.

And Jeroboam’s wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah: [and] as she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.

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

And all Israel buried him, and mourned for him; according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by the hand of 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.

And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are 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 days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.

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 reigned in Judah, Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.

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 that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that their fathers had done.

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

For they also built them high places, and pillars, and Asherim, 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 there were also sodomites in the land: they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD drave out before the children of Israel.

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

And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that 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 he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold 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.

And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, which kept 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 it was so, that as oft as the king went into the house of the LORD, the guard bare them, and brought them back into the guard chamber.

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 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.

And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

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 slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.
