Anden Krønikebog 10
1 Og Roboam drog til Sikem; thi al Israel var kommen til Sikem for at gøre ham til Konge.
Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
2 Og det skete, der Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, hørte det — thi han var i Ægypten, hvorhen han var flygtet for Kong Salomos Ansigt — da kom Jeroboam tilbage fra Ægypten.
It happened, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it, (for he was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of king Solomon), that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
3 Thi de sendte hen og kaldte ham; og Jeroboam kom og al Israel, og de talte til Roboam, sigende:
They sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
4 Din Fader gjorde vort Aag haardt; men let nu din Faders haarde Tjeneste og hans svare Aag, som han lagde paa os, saa ville vi tjene dig.
"Your father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make you the grievous service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you."
5 Og han sagde til dem: Om tre Dage saa kommer til mig igen; og Folket gik.
He said to them, "Come again to me after three days." The people departed.
6 Og Kong Roboam raadførte sig med de ældste, som havde staaet for hans Fader Salomos Ansigt, der han var levende, og sagde: Hvorledes raade I at give dette Folk Svar tilbage?
King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, "What counsel do you give me to return answer to this people?"
7 Og de talte til ham, sigende: Vil du være dette Folk god og behage dem og tale gode Ord til dem, da blive de dine Tjenere alle Dage!
They spoke to him, saying, "If you are kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever."
8 Men han forlod de ældstes Raad, som de raadede ham, og raadførte sig med de unge, som vare opvoksede med ham, de, som stode for hans Ansigt.
But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.
9 Og han sagde til dem: Hvad raade I, at vi skulle give dette Folk for Svar tilbage, som talte til mig, sigende: Gør du os det Aag lettere, som din Fader lagde paa os?
He said to them, "What counsel do you give, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, 'Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter?'"
10 Og de unge, som vare opvoksede med ham, talte til ham, sigende: Saa skal du sige til det Folk, som talte til dig og sagde: Din Fader gjorde vort Aag svart, men gør du os det lettere, — saa skal du sige til dem: Min Lillefinger skal være tykkere end min Faders Lænder.
The young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, "Thus you shall tell the people who spoke to you, saying, 'Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter on us;' thus you shall say to them, 'My little finger is thicker than my father's waist.
11 Nu da, min Fader lagde eder et svart Aag paa, men jeg vil gøre eders Aag svarere; min Fader tugtede eder med Svøber, men jeg vil tugte eder med Skorpioner.
Now whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.'"
12 Da kom Jeroboam og alt Folket til Roboam paa den tredje Dag, som Kongen havde talt og sagt: Kommer igen til mig paa den tredje Dag!
So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king asked, saying, "Come to me again the third day."
13 Og Kongen svarede dem haardt, og Kong Roboam forlod de ældstes Raad.
The king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
14 Og han talte til dem efter de unges Raad og sagde: Min Fader gjorde eders Aag svart, men jeg vil gøre det svarere; min Fader tugtede eder med Svøber, men jeg vil tugte eder med Skorpioner.
and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, "My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions."
15 Og Kongen hørte ikke Folket; thi Aarsagen var fra Gud, for at Herren kunde stadfæste sit Ord, som han havde talt ved Siloniten Ahia til Jeroboam, Nebats Søn.
So the king did not listen to the people; for it was brought about of God, that the LORD might establish his word, which he spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16 Der al Israel saa, at Kongen ikke vilde høre dem, da gav Folket Kongen et Svar tilbage og sagde: Hvad Del have vi i David? og: Vi have ingen Lod i Isajs Søn; Israel! drag til dine Telte; se nu til dit Hus, o David! Saa gik al Israel til sine Telte, hver især.
When all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, "What portion have we in David? Neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to your tents, Israel. Now see to your own house, David." So all Israel departed to their tents.
17 Dog Israels Børn, som boede i Judas Stæder, over dem regerede Roboam.
But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
18 Da sendte Kong Roboam Hadoram, som var Rentemester, men Israels Børn stenede ham med Stene, saa at han døde; men Kong Roboam brugte al sin Styrke til at komme op i Vognen for at fly til Jerusalem.
Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the men subject to forced labor; and the children of Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam made speed to get himself up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 Saa faldt Israel af fra Davids Hus indtil denne Dag.
So Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day.
