Anden Krønikebog 10
1 Og Roboam drog til Sikem; thi al Israel var kommen til Sikem for at gøre ham til Konge.
And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem had all Israel come 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.
And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who [was] in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard [it], that Jeroboam returned from Egypt.
3 Thi de sendte hen og kaldte ham; og Jeroboam kom og al Israel, og de talte til Roboam, sigende:
And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and 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.
Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
5 Og han sagde til dem: Om tre Dage saa kommer til mig igen; og Folket gik.
And he said to them, Come again to me after three days. And 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?
And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye [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!
And they spoke to him, saying, If thou wilt be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.
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 which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that 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?
And he said to them, What advice give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father put upon us?
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.
And the young men that were brought up with him, spoke to him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spoke to thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou [it] somewhat lighter for us; thus shalt thou say to them, My little [finger] shall be thicker than my father's loins.
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.
For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more 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 on the third day, as the king directed, saying, Come again to me on the third day.
13 Og Kongen svarede dem haardt, og Kong Roboam forlod de ældstes Raad.
And 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 answered them after the advice 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 hearkened not to the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spoke by the hand of 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.
And when all Israel [saw] that the king would not hearken to them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and [we have] no inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: [and] now, David, see to thy own house. So all Israel went to their tents.
17 Dog Israels Børn, som boede i Judas Stæder, over dem regerede Roboam.
But [as for] the children of Israel that dwelt 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 that [was] over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get into his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 Saa faldt Israel af fra Davids Hus indtil denne Dag.
And Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day.
