Første Kongebog 11

1 Kong Salomo elskede foruden Faraos Datter mange fremmede Kvinder, moabitiske, ammonitiske, edomitiske, zidoniske og hetitiske Kvinder,

And king Solomon hath loved many strange women, and the daughter of Pharaoh, females of Moab, Ammon, Edom, Zidon, [and] of the Hittites,

2 Kvinder fra de Folkeslag, HERREN havde sagt om til Israeliterne: »I maa ikke have med dem at gøre og de ikke med eder, ellers drager de eders Hjerte til deres Guder!« Ved dem hang Salomo i Kærlighed.

of the nations of which Jehovah said unto the sons of Israel, 'Ye do not go in to them, and they do not go in to you; surely they turn aside your heart after their gods;' to them hath Solomon cleaved for love.

3 Han havde 700 fyrstelige Hustruer og 300 Medhustruer, og hans Hustruer drog hans Hjerte bort fra Herren.

And he hath women, princesses, seven hundred, and concubines three hundred; and his wives turn aside his heart.

4 Da Salomo blev gammel, drog hans Hustruer hans Hjerte til fremmede Guder, og hans Hjerte var ikke mere helt med HERREN hans Gud som hans Fader Davids.

And it cometh to pass, at the time of the old age of Solomon, his wives have turned aside his heart after other gods, and his heart hath not been perfect with Jehovah his God, like the heart of David his father.

5 Salomo holdt sig da til Astarte, Zidoniernes Gudinde, og til Milkom, Ammoniternes væmmelige Gud.

And Solomon goeth after Ashtoreth god[dess] of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites;

6 Saaledes gjorde Salomo, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, og viste ikke HERREN fuld Lydighed som hans Fader David.

and Solomon doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and hath not been fully after Jehovah, like David his father.

7 Ved den Tid byggede Salomo en Offerhøj for Kemosj, Moabs væmmelige Gud, paa Bjerget østen for Jerusalem, og for Milkom, Ammoniternes væmmelige Gud;

Then doth Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, in the hill that [is] on the front of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the sons of Ammon;

8 og samme Hensyn viste han alle sine fremmede Hustruer, som tændte Offerild for deres Guder og ofrede til dem.

and so he hath done for all his strange women, who are perfuming and sacrificing to their gods.

9 Da vrededes HERREN paa Salomo, fordi han vendte sit Hjerte bort fra HERREN, Israels Gud, der dog to Gange havde ladet sig til Syne for ham

And Jehovah sheweth Himself angry with Solomon, for his heart hath turned aside from Jehovah, God of Israel, who had appeared unto him twice,

10 og udtrykkelig havde paabudt ham ikke at holde sig til fremmede Guder; men han holdt ikke, hvad HERREN havde paabudt ham.

and given a charge unto him concerning this thing, not to go after other gods; and he hath not kept that which Jehovah commanded,

11 Derfor sagde HERREN til Salomo: »Fordi det staar saaledes til med dig, og fordi du ikke har holdt min Pagt og mine Anordninger, som jeg paalagde dig, vil jeg visselig rive Riget fra dig og give din Træl det.

and Jehovah saith to Solomon, 'Because that this hath been with thee, and thou hast not kept My covenant and My statutes that I charged upon thee, I surely rend the kingdom from thee, and have given it to thy servant.

12 Dog vil jeg ikke gøre det i din Levetid for din Fader Davids Skyld men jeg vil rive det ud af din Søns Haand.

'Only, in thy days I do it not, for the sake of David thy father; out of the hand of thy son I rend it;

13 Kun vil jeg ikke rive hele Riget fra ham, men give din Søn en Stamme deraf for min Tjener Davids Skyld og for Jerusalems Skyld, den By, jeg udvalgte.«

only all the kingdom I do not rend away; one tribe I give to thy son, for the sake of David My servant, and for the sake of Jerusalem, that I have chosen.'

14 HERREN gav Salomo en Modstander i Edomiten Hadad af Kongeslægten i Edom.

And Jehovah raiseth up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; of the seed of the king [is] he in Edom;

15 Thi dengang David lod Edomiterne hugge ned, da Hærføreren Joab drog op for at jorde de faldne og hugge alle af Mandkøn ned i Edom —

and it cometh to pass, in David's being with Edom, in the going up of Joab head of the host to bury the slain, that he smiteth every male in Edom —

16 Joab og hele Israel blev der i seks Maaneder, til han havde udryddet alle af Mandkøn i Edom —

for six months did Joab abide there, and all Israel, till the cutting off of every male in Edom —

17 da var Adad med nogle edomitiske Mænd af hans Faders Folk flygtet ad Ægypten til. Dengang var Hadad endnu en lille Dreng.

and Hadad fleeth, he and certain Edomites, of the servants of his father, with him, to go in to Egypt, and Hadad [is] a little youth,

18 De brød op fra Midjan og naaede Paran; og efter at have taget nogle Mænd fra Paran med sig drog de til Ægypten, hvor Farao, Ægypterkongen, overlod ham et Hus, tilsagde ham daglig Føde og gav ham Land.

and they rise out of Midian, and come into Paran, and take men with them out of Paran, and come in to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he giveth to him a house, and bread hath commanded for him, and land hath given to him.

19 Og da Farao fattede særlig Godhed for Hadad, gav han ham sin Svigerinde, en Søster til Dronning Takpenes, til Ægte.

And Hadad findeth grace in the eyes of Pharaoh exceedingly, and he giveth to him a wife, the sister of his own wife, sister of Tahpenes the mistress;

20 Takpenes's Søster fødte ham Sønnen Genubat; og da Takpenes havde vænnet Barnet fra i Faraos Hus, blev Genubat i Faraos Hus blandt Faraos egne Børn.

and the sister of Tahpenes beareth to him Genubath his son, and Tahpenes weaneth him within the house of Pharaoh, and Genubath is in the house of Pharaoh in the midst of the sons of Pharaoh.

21 Da nu Hadad i Ægypten hørte, at David havde lagt sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og at Hærføreren Joab var død, sagde han til Farao: »Lad mig drage til mit Land!«

And Hadad hath heard in Egypt that David hath lain with his fathers, and that Joab head of the host is dead, and Hadad saith unto Pharaoh, 'Send me away, and I go unto my land.'

22 Farao sagde til ham: »Hvad savner du her hos mig, siden du ønsker at drage til dit Land?« Men han svarede: »Aa jo, lad mig nu rejse!« Saa vendte Hadad tilbage til sit Land. Det var den Ulykke, Hadad voldte: Han bragte Trængsel over Israel og blev Konge over Edom.

And Pharaoh saith to him, 'But, what art thou lacking with me, that lo, thou art seeking to go unto thine own land?' and he saith, 'Nay, but thou dost certainly send me away.'

23 Fremdeles gav Gud ham en Modstander i Rezon, Eljadas Søn, der var flygtet fra sin Herre, Kong Hadad'ezer af Zoba.

And God raiseth to him an adversary, Rezon son of Eliadah, who hath fled from Hadadezer king of Zobah, his lord,

24 Han samlede en Del Mænd om sig og blev Høvding for en Friskare. Han indtog Damaskus, satte sig fast der og blev Konge i Damaskus.

and gathereth unto himself men, and is head of a troop in David's slaying them, and they go to Damascus, and dwell in it, and reign in Damascus;

25 Han var Israels Modstander, saa længe Salomo levede.

and he is an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, (besides the evil that Hadad [did]), and he cutteth off in Israel, and reigneth over Aram.

26 Endvidere var der Efraimiten Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, fra Zereda, som stod i Salomos Tjeneste, og hvis Moder hed Zerua og var Enke; han løftede Haand mod Kongen.

And Jeroboam son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda — the name of whose mother [is] Zeruah, a widow woman — servant to Solomon, he also lifteth up a hand against the king;

27 Hermed gik det saaledes til Salomo byggede paa Millo; han lukkede Hullet i sin Fader Davids By.

and this [is] the thing [for] which he lifted up a hand against the king: Solomon built Millo — he shut up the breach of the city of David his father,

28 Nu var Jeroboam et dygtigt Menneske, og da Salomo saa, hvorledes den unge Mand udførte Arbejdet, gav han ham Opsyn med hele Arbejdsstyrken af Josefs Hus.

and the man Jeroboam [is] mighty in valour, and Solomon seeth the young man that he is doing business, and appointeth him over all the burden of the house of Joseph.

29 Paa den Tid hændte det sig, engang Jeroboam var rejst fra Jerusalem, at Profeten Ahija fra Silo traf ham paa Vejen. Ahija var iført en ny Kappe, og de to var ene paa Marken.

And it cometh to pass, at that time, that Jeroboam hath gone out from Jerusalem, and Ahijah the Shilonite, the prophet, findeth him in the way, and he is covering himself with a new garment; and both of them [are] by themselves in a field,

30 Da greb Ahija fat i den ny Kappe, han havde paa, rev den i tolv Stykker

and Ahijah layeth hold on the new garment that [is] on him, and rendeth it — twelve pieces,

31 og sagde til Jeroboam: »Tag dig de ti Stykker, thi saa siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Se, jeg river Riget ud af Salomos Haand og giver dig de ti Stammer.

and saith to Jeroboam, 'Take to thee ten pieces, for thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, lo, I am rending the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and have given to thee the ten tribes,

32 Den ene Stamme skal han beholde for min Tjener Davids Skyld og for Jerusalems Skyld, den By, jeg udvalgte af alle Israels Stammer;

and the one tribe he hath for My servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have fixed on, out of all the tribes of Israel.

33 det vil jeg gøre, fordi han har forladt mig og tilbedt Astarte, Zidoniernes Gudinde, Kemosj, Moabs Gud, og Milkom, Ammoniternes Gud, og ikke vandret paa mine Veje og gjort, hvad der er ret i mine Øjne, eller holdt mine Anordninger og Lovbud som hans Fader David.

'Because they have forsaken Me, and bow themselves to Ashtoreth, god[dess] of the Zidonians, to Chemosh god of Moab, and to Milcom god of the sons of Ammon, and have not walked in My ways, to do that which [is] right in Mine eyes, and My statutes and My judgments, like David his father.

34 Fra ham vil jeg dog ikke tage Riget, men lade ham være Fyrste, saa længe han lever, for min Tjener Davids Skyld, som jeg udvalgte, og som holdt mine Bud og Anordninger.

'And I do not take the whole of the kingdom out of his hand, for prince I make him all days of his life, for the sake of David My servant whom I chose, who kept My commands and My statutes;

35 Men jeg vil tage Riget fra hans Søn og give dig det, de ti Stammer;

and I have taken the kingdom out of the hand of his son, and given it to thee — the ten tribes;

36 og hans Søn vil jeg give en Stamme, for at min Tjener David altid kan have en Lampe for mit Aasyn i Jerusalem, den By, jeg udvalgte for der at stedfæste mit Navn.

and to his son I give one tribe, for there being a lamp to David My servant all the days before Me in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen to Myself to put My name there.

37 Men dig vil jeg tage og sætte til Hersker over alt, hvad du attraar, og du skal være Konge over Israel.

'And thee I take, and thou hast reigned over all that thy soul desireth, and thou hast been king over Israel;

38 Dersom du da er lydig i alt hvad jeg byder dig, vandrer paa mine Veje og gør, hvad der er ret i mine Øjne, saa du holder mine Anordninger og Bud, som min Tjener David gjorde, vil jeg være med dig og bygge dig et varigt Hus, som jeg gjorde det for David. Dig giver jeg Israel;

and it hath been, if thou dost hear all that I command thee, and hast walked in My ways, and done that which is right in Mine eyes, to keep My statutes and My commands, as did David My servant, that I have been with thee, and have built for thee a stedfast house, as I built for David, and have given to thee Israel,

39 men jeg ydmyger Davids Slægt for den Sags Skyld, dog ikke for stedse!«

and I humble the seed of David for this; only, not all the days.'

40 Da nu Salomo stod Jeroboam efter Livet, flygtede han til Ægypten, til Ægypterkongen Sjisjak; og han blev i Ægypten, til Salomo døde.

And Solomon seeketh to put Jeroboam to death, and Jeroboam riseth and fleeth to Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and he is in Egypt till the death of Solomon.

41 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Salomo, alt, hvad han gjorde, og hans Visdom, staar jo optegnet i Salomos Krønike.

And the rest of the matters of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written on the book of the matters of Solomon?

42 Den Tid, Salomo herskede i Jerusalem over hele Israel, udgjorde fyrretyve Aar.

And the days that Solomon hath reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel [are] forty years,

43 Saa lagde Salomo sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i sin Fader Davids By. Og hans Søn Rehabeam blev Konge i hans Sted.

and Solomon lieth with his fathers, and is buried in the city of David his father, and reign doth Rehoboam his son in his stead.
