Første Kongebog 14

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

At that time Abijah son of Jeroboam became very 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.

Jeroboam said to his wife, “Please arise and disguise yourself, so you will not be recognized as my wife, and go to Shiloh, because Ahijah the prophet is there; he is the one who spoke about me, saying that I would become king over these 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, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to Ahijah. He will tell you what will happen to 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.

Jeroboam's wife did so; she left and went to Shiloh and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see; he lost his sight because of old 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.

Yahweh said to Ahijah, “Look, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to seek advice from you regarding her son, for he is sick. Say such and such to her, because when she comes, she will act as if she were some other 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.

When Ahijah heard the sound of her feet as she came in at the door, he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be someone you are not? 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 Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, 'I raised you from among the people to make you the leader 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 family of David and gave it to you, yet you have not been like my servant David, who kept my commandments and followed me with all his heart, to do 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:

Instead, you have done evil, more than all who were before you. You have made other gods, and you have cast metal images to provoke me to anger, and have thrust 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.

Therefore, look, I will bring disaster on your family; I will cut off from you every male child in Israel, whether slave or free, and will completely remove your family, like someone who 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 who belongs to your family 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 heavens, for I, Yahweh, have said it.'

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

So arise, wife of Jeroboam, and go back to your home; when your feet enter the city, the child Abijah 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. He is the only one from Jeroboam's family who will go into a grave, because only in him, out of Jeroboam's house, was anything good found in the sight of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

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?

Also, Yahweh will raise up a king of Israel who will cut off the family of Jeroboam on that day. Today is that day, right now.

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 Yahweh will attack Israel as a reed is shaken in the water, and he will root up Israel out of this good land that he gave to their ancestors. He will scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, because they have made their Asherah poles and provoked Yahweh to anger.

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

He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, the sins that he has committed, and through which he has led 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.

So Jeroboam's wife arose and left, and came to Tirzah. As she came to the threshold of her 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.

All Israel buried him and mourned for him, just as it was told to them by the word of Yahweh which he had spoken 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.

As for the other matters concerning Jeroboam, how he waged war and how he reigned, see, they are written in the book of the events 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.

Jeroboam reigned twenty-two years and then slept with his ancestors, 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.

Now Rehoboam son of Solomon was reigning in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that Yahweh had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel in which to put his name. His mother's name was Naamah the 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.

Judah did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh; they provoked him to jealousy with the sins that they committed, more than everything 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 for themselves high places, stone 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 also cultic prostitutes in the land. They did the same despicable practices as the nations that Yahweh had driven out before the people of Israel.

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

It happened 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.

He took away the treasures in the house of Yahweh, and the treasures in the king's house. He took everything away; he also took all the shields of gold 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.

King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place and entrusted them into the hands of the commanders of the guard, who guarded the doors to 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.

It happened that whenever the king entered the house of Yahweh, the guards would carry them; then they would bring them back into the guardhouse.

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 other matters concerning Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?

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

There was constant warfare between Rehoboam and Jeroboam.

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.

So Rehoboam slept with his ancestors and was buried with them in the city of David. His mother's name was Naamah the Ammonite woman. Abijah his son became king in his place.
