Første Kongebog 1

1 Da Kong David var gammel og til Aars, kunne han ikke blive varm, skønt man dækkede ham til med Tæpper.

And the king David he was old he had come in days and they covered him with clothes and not it was warm to him.

2 Da sagde hans Folk til ham: »Det er bedst, man søger efter en ung Jomfru til min Herre Kongen, for at hun kan være om Kongen og pleje ham; naar hun ligger i din Favn, bliver min Herre Kongen varm!«

And they said to him servants his let people seek for lord my the king a young woman a virgin and she will stand before the king and let her be of him a nurse and she will lie in bosom your and it will be warm to lord my the king.

3 Saa søgte de efter en smuk ung Pige i hele Israels Land og fandt Abisjag fra Sjunem og bragte hende til Kongen.

And they sought a young woman beautiful in all [the] territory of Israel and they found Abishag the Shunammite and they brought her to the king.

4 Hun var en saare smuk Pige: og hun plejede Kongen og gik ham til Haande; men Kongen havde ikke Omgang med hende.

And the young woman [was] beautiful up to muchness and she became of the king a nurse and she served him and the king not he knew her.

5 Adonija, Haggits Søn, dristede sig til at sige: »Jeg vil være Konge!« Og han skaffede sig Vogne og Heste og halvtredsindstyve Mænd til at løbe foran sig.

And Adonijah [the] son of Haggith [was] exalting himself saying I I will become king and he acquired for himself a chariot and horsemen and fifty man [were] running before him.

6 Hans Fader havde ingen Sinde irettesat ham og sagt: »Hvorfor bærer du dig saaledes ad?« Han havde et saare smukt Ydre og var den ældste efter Absalom.

And not he had rebuked him father his from days his saying why? thus have you done and also he [was] good of appearance very and him someone bore after Absalom.

7 Han underhandlede med Joab, Zerujas Søn, og Præsten Ebjatar; de tog Adonijas Parti og støttede ham,

And they were words his with Joab [the] son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest and they helped after Adonijah.

8 mens Præsten Zadok, Jojadas Søn Benaja, Profeten Natan, Sjim'i og Re'i og Davids Kærnetropper ikke sluttede sig til Adonija.

And Zadok the priest and Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada and Nathan the prophet and Shimei and Rei and the mighty [men] who [belonged] to David not they were with Adonijah.

9 Adonija lod nu slagte Smaakvæg, Hornkvæg og Fedekvæg ved Slangestenen, der staar ved Rogelkilden, og indbød alle sine Brødre, Kongesønnerne, og alle de judæiske Mænd, der stod i Kongens Tjeneste;

And he sacrificed Adonijah sheep and cattle and fatling near [the] stone of Zoheleth which [was] beside En Rogel and he invited all brothers his [the] sons of the king and all [the] men of Judah [the] servants of the king.

10 men Profeten Natan, Benaja, Kærnetropperne og sin Broder Salomo indbød han ikke.

And Nathan the prophet and Benaiah and the mighty [men] and Solomon brother his not he invited.

11 Da sagde Natan til Batseba, Salomos Moder: »Du har vel hørt, at Adonija, Haggits Søn, har opkastet sig til Konge uden vor Herre Davids Vidende?

And he said Nathan to Bath-sheba [the] mother of Solomon saying ¿ not have you heard that he has become king Adonijah [the] son of Haggith and lord our David not he knows.

12 Lad mig nu give dig et Raad, for at du kan redde dit eget og din Søn Salomos Liv:

And therefore come let me counsel you please counsel and save life your and [the] life of son your Solomon.

13 Du skal gaa ind til Kong David og sige til ham: Herre Konge, du har jo tilsvoret din Trælkvinde: Din Søn Salomo skal være Konge efter mig og sidde paa min Trone! Hvorfor har da Adonija opkastet sig til Konge?

Come and go - to the king David and you will say to him ¿ not you O lord my the king did you swear an oath to maidservant your saying that Solomon son your he will reign after me and he he will sit on throne my and why? has he become king Adonijah.

14 Og medens du endnu staar og taler med Kongen, kommer jeg til og bekræfter dine Ord!«

There! still you [are] speaking there with the king and I I will come after you and I will confirm words your.

15 Da gik Batseba ind til Kongen i hans Værelse — Kongen var meget gammel, og Abisjag fra Sjunem gik ham til Haande —

And she went Bath-sheba to the king the room towards and the king he was old very and Abishag the Shunammite [was] serving the king.

16 og Batseba bøjede sig og kastede sig til Jorden for Kongen. Da sagde Kongen: »Hvad ønsker du?«

And she bowed low Bath-sheba and she bowed down to the king and he said the king what? [is] to you.

17 Hun svarede: »Herre, du har jo tilsvoret din Trælkvinde ved HERREN din Gud: Din Søn Salomo skal være Konge efter mig og sidde paa min Trone!

And she said to him O lord my you you swore an oath by Yahweh God your to maidservant your that Solomon son your he will reign after me and he he will sit on throne my.

18 Men se, nu har Adonija opkastet sig til Konge uden dit Vidende, Herre Konge!

And now here! Adonijah he has become king and now O lord my the king not you know.

19 Han har ladet slagte Hornkvæg, Fedekvæg og Smaakvæg i Mængde og indbudt alle Kongesønnerne, Præsten Ebjatar og Hærføreren Joab, men din Træl Salomo har han ikke indbudt.

And he has sacrificed ox[en] and fatling and sheep to abundance and he has invited all [the] sons of the king and Abiathar the priest and Joab [the] commander of the army and Solomon servant your not he has invited.

20 Paa dig, Herre Konge, er hele Israels Øjne rettet, for at du skal give dem til Kende, hvem der skal være din Efterfølger og sidde paa min Herre Kongens Trone.

And you O lord my the king [the] eyes of all Israel [are] on you to tell to them who? will he sit on [the] throne of lord my the king after him.

21 Ellers gælder det mit og min Søn Salomos Liv, naar min Herre Kongen har lagt sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre!«

And it will be when lies down lord my the king with ancestors his and I will be I and son my Solomon sinners.

22 Medens hun endnu talte med Kongen, kom Profeten Natan,

And there! still she [was] speaking with the king and Nathan the prophet he came.

23 og det blev meldt Kongen: »Profeten Natan er her!« Saa traadte han frem for Kongen og kastede sig paa sit Ansigt til Jorden for ham.

And people told to the king saying here! Nathan the prophet and he came before the king and he bowed down to the king on face his [the] ground towards.

24 Derpaa sagde Natan: »Herre Konge, du har vel sagt, at Adonija skal være Konge efter dig og sidde paa din Trone?

And he said Nathan O lord my the king you have you said? Adonijah he will reign after me and he he will sit on throne my.

25 Thi han er i Dag draget ned og har ladet slagte Hornkvæg, Fedekvæg og Smaakvæg i Mængde og indbudt alle Kongesønnerne, Hærførerne og Præsten Ebjatar, og nu spiser og drikker de sammen med ham og raaber: Leve Kong Adonija!

For - he has gone down this day and he has sacrificed ox[en] and fatling and sheep to abundance and he has invited all [the] sons of the king and [the] commanders of the army and Abiathar the priest and there they [are] eating and drinking before him and they have said may he live the king Adonijah.

26 Men han har hverken indbudt mig, din Træl, eller Præsten Zadok eller Benaja, Jojadas Søn, eller din Træl Salomo!

And me I servant your and Zadok the priest and Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada and Solomon servant your not he has invited.

27 Er det virkelig sket efter min Herre Kongens Befaling, uden at du har ladet dine Trælle vide, hvem der skal sidde paa min Herre Kongens Trone efter dig?«

From with lord my the king has it occurred the matter this and not you made known (servant your *Q(K)*) who? will he sit on [the] throne of lord my the king after him.

28 Da svarede Kong David: »Kald mig Batseba hid!« Og hun traadte frem for Kongen og stillede sig foran ham.

And he answered the king David and he said summon for me Bath-sheba and she came before the king and she stood before the king.

29 Da svor Kongen og sagde: »Saa sandt HERREN, der udløste mig af al min Nød, lever:

And he swore an oath the king and he said [by] [the] life of Yahweh who he has ransomed life my from every trouble.

30 Som jeg tilsvor dig ved HERREN, Israels Gud, at din Søn Salomo skulde være Konge efter mig og sidde paa min Trone i mit Sted, saaledes vil jeg handle i Dag!«

For just as I swore to you by Yahweh [the] God of Israel saying that Solomon son your he will reign after me and he he will sit on throne my in place of me for so I will do the day this.

31 Da bøjede Batseba sig med sit Ansigt til Jorden og faldt ned for Kongen og sagde: »Maatte min Herre, Kong David, leve evindelig!«

And she bowed low Bath-sheba face ground and she bowed down to the king and she said may he live lord my the king David for ever.

32 Derpaa sagde Kong David: »Kald mig Præsten Zadok, Profeten Natan og Benaja, Jojadas Søn, hid!« Og de traadte frem for Kongen.

And he said - the king David summon for me Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet and Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada and they came before the king.

33 Da sagde Kongen til dem: »Tag eders Herres Folk med eder, sæt min Søn Salomo paa mit eget Muldyr og før ham ned til Gihon.

And he said the king to them take with you [the] servants of lord your and you will cause to ride Solomon son my on the mule which [belongs] to me and you will take down him to Gihon.

34 Der skal Præsten Zadok og Profeten Natan salve ham til Konge over Israel, og I skal støde i Hornet og raabe: Leve Kong Salomo!

And he will anoint him there Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet to king over Israel and you will give a blast on the ram's horn and you will say may he live the king Solomon.

35 Saa skal I følge ham herop, og han skal gaa hen og sætte sig paa min Trone og være Konge i mit Sted; thi det er ham, jeg har udset til Fyrste over Israel og Juda!«

And you will come up after him and he will come and he will sit on throne my and he he will reign in place of me and him I have appointed to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.

36 Da svarede Benaja, Jojadas Søn, Kongen: »Det ske! Maatte HERREN, min Herre Kongens Gud, gøre saaledes!

And he answered Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada the king and he said - amen thus may he say Yahweh [the] God of lord my the king.

37 Maatte HERREN være med Salomo, som han har været med min Herre Kongen, og gøre hans Trone endnu mægtigere end min Herre Kong Davids!«

Just as he has been Yahweh with lord my the king so (he will be *Q(K)*) with Solomon and may he make great throne his more than [the] throne of lord my the king David.

38 Derpaa drog Præsten Zadok, Profeten Natan og Benaja, Jojadas Søn, og Kreterne og Pleterne ned og satte Salomo paa Kong Davids Muldyr og førte ham til Gihon;

And he went down Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet and Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada and the Kerethite[s] and the Pelethite[s] and they caused to ride Solomon on [the] mule of the king David and they brought him to Gihon.

39 og Præsten Zadok tog Oliehornet fra Teltet og salvede Salomo; de stødte i Hornet, og hele Folket raabte: »Leve Kong Salomo!«

And he took Zadok the priest [the] horn of oil from the tent and he anointed Solomon and they gave a blast on the ram's horn and they said all the people may he live the king Solomon.

40 Saa fulgte hele Folket ham op og Folket spillede paa Fløjter og jublede højt, saa at Jorden var ved at revne af deres Raab.

And they went up all the people after him and the people [were] playing [the] flute with flutes and joyful joy great and it was split open the earth by noise their.

41 Det hørte Adonija og alle hans Gæster, netop som de var færdige med Maaltidet, og da Joab hørte Hornets Klang, sagde han: »Hvorfor er der saa stort Røre i Byen?«

And he heard Adonijah and all those [who] were invited who [were] with him and they they had finished to eat and he heard Joab [the] sound of the ram's horn and he said why? [is] [the] sound of the town in an uproar.

42 Endnu medens han talte, kom Jonatan, Præsten Ebjatars Søn. Adonija sagde: »Kom herhen, thi du er en brav Mand og bringer godt nyt!«

Still he [was] speaking and there! Jonathan [the] son of Abiathar the priest he came and he said Adonijah come for [are] a man of worth you and good you bear news.

43 Men Jonatan svarede og sagde til Adonija: »Tværtimod; vor Herre Kong David har gjort Salomo til Konge!

And he answered Jonathan and he said to Adonijah indeed lord our the king David he has made king Solomon.

44 Kongen sendte Præsten Zadok, Profeten Natan, Benaja, Jojadas Søn, og Kreterne og Pleterne med ham, og de satte ham paa Kongens Muldyr;

And he has sent with him the king Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet and Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada and the Kerethite[s] and the Pelethite[s] and they have caused to ride him on [the] mule of the king.

45 og Præsten Zadok og Profeten Natan salvede ham til Konge ved Gihon; derefter drog de under Jubel op derfra, og der blev Røre i Byen; det var den Larm, I hørte.

And they have anointed him Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet to king at Gihon and they have gone up from there joyful and it was excited the town that [is] the noise which you have heard.

46 Salomo satte sig ogsaa paa Kongetronen;

And also he has sat Solomon on [the] throne of royalty.

47 tilmed kom Kongens Folk og lykønskede vor Herre Kong David med de Ord: Maatte din Gud gøre Salomos Navn endnu herligere end dit og hans Trone mægtigere end din! Og Kongen tilbad paa sit Leje;

And also they have come [the] servants of the king to bless lord our the king David saying may he make good (God *Q(K)*) [the] name of Solomon more than name your and may he make great throne his more than throne your and he bowed down the king on the bed.

48 ydermere sagde han: Lovet være HERREN, Israels Gud, som i Dag har ladet en Mand sætte sig paa min Trone, endnu medens jeg selv kan se det!«

And also thus he has said the king [be] blessed Yahweh [the] God of Israel who he has given this day [one who] sits on throne my and own eyes my [are] seeing.

49 Da blev alle Adonijas Gæster skrækslagne og brød op og gik hver sin Vej;

And they trembled and they rose up all those [who] were invited who [belonged] to Adonijah and they went each to way his.

50 men Adonija frygtede for Salomo og ilede hen og greb fat om Alterets Horn.

And Adonijah he was afraid of Solomon and he arose and he went and he took hold on [the] horns of the altar.

51 Og man meldte Salomo: »Se, Adonija frygter for Kong Salomo, og se, han har grebet fat om Alterets Horn og siger: Kong Salomo skal først sværge mig til, at han ikke vil lade sin Træl slaa ihjel med Sværd!«

And it was told to Solomon saying there! Adonijah he fears the king Solomon and there! he has taken hold on [the] horns of the altar saying let him swear to me as the day the king Solomon if he will put to death servant his by the sword.

52 Da sagde Salomo: »Dersom han opfører sig som en brav Mand, skal der ikke krummes et Haar paa hans Hoved; men gribes han i noget ondt, skal han dø!«

And he said Solomon if he will become a son of worth not it will fall one of hair[s] his [the] ground towards and if evil it will be found in him and he will die.

53 Derpaa sendte Kong Salomo Bud og lod ham hente ned fra Alteret; og han kom og kastede sig ned for Kong Salomo. Da sagde Salomo til ham: »Gaa til dit Hjem!«

And he sent the king Solomon and they brought down him from at the altar and he came and he bowed down to the king Solomon and he said to him Solomon go to house your.
