Første Kongebog 14
1 Paa samme Tid blev Abia, Jeroboams Søn, syg.
At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam became 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 get up and disguise yourself, so that you won’t be recognized as Jeroboam’s wife. Go to Shiloh. Behold, Ahijah the prophet is there, who said that 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.
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 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, and arose and went to Shiloh, and came to Ahijah’s house. 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.
The LORD said to Ahijah, “Behold, Jeroboam’s wife is coming to inquire of you concerning her son, for he is sick. Tell her such and such; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend 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.
So when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet as she came in at the door, he said, “Come in, Jeroboam’s wife! Why do you pretend to be another? For I am sent to you with heavy 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, ‘The LORD, the God of Israel, says: “Because I exalted you from among the people, and made you 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 tore the kingdom away from David’s house, and gave it to you; and yet you have 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 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 have done evil above all who were before you, and have gone and made for yourself other gods, molten images, to provoke me to anger, and have cast 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, behold, I will bring evil on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam everyone who urinates on a wall, he who is shut up and he who is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweeps away dung until 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.
The dogs will eat he who belongs to Jeroboam who dies in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field, for the LORD has spoken it.”’
12 Saa gør du dig rede, gak til dit Hus; naar dine Fødder komme ind i Staden, da skal Barnet dø.
Arise therefore, and go to your house. When your feet enter into 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 he only of Jeroboam will 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 will raise up a king for himself over Israel who will cut off the house of Jeroboam. This is the day! What? Even 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 the LORD will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River, 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.
He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he has sinned, and with which he has 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.
Jeroboam’s wife arose and departed, and came to Tirzah. 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.
All Israel buried him and mourned for him, according to the LORD’s word, which he spoke 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.
The rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he fought 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.
The days which Jeroboam reigned were twenty two years; then he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son 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.
Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-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. 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.
Judah did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, 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 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 also sodomites in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD drove out before the children of Israel.
25 Og det skete i Kong Roboams femte Aar, at Sisak, Kongen af Ægypten, drog op imod Jerusalem.
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 he took away the treasures of the LORD’s house and the treasures of the king’s house. He even took away all of it, including all the gold shields 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.
King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who 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.
It was so, that as often as the king went into the LORD’s house, the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard 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 that he did, aren’t they 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 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.
Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess. Abijam his son reigned in his place.
