Første Kongebog 14
1 Ved den Tid blev Jeroboams Søn Abija syg.
At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.
2 Da sagde Jeroboam til sin Hustru: »Tag og forklæd dig, saa man ikke kan kende, at du er Jeroboams Hustru, og begiv dig til Silo, thi der bor Profeten Ahija, som kundgjorde mig, at jeg skulde blive Konge over dette Folk;
And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there [is] Ahijah the prophet, which told me that [I should be] king over this people.
3 tag ti Brød, noget Bagværk og en Krukke Honning med og henvend dig til ham, saa vil han sige dig, hvorledes det skal gaa Drengen!«
And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what shall become of the child.
4 Jeroboams Hustru gjorde nu saaledes; hun begav sig til Silo og gik ind i Ahijas Hus. Ahija kunde ikke se, da hans Øjne var sløve af Alderdom;
And Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.
5 men HERREN havde sagt til Ahija: »Se, Jeroboams Hustru kommer til dig for at høre sig for hos dig angaaende sin Søn, da han er syg; det og det skal du svare hende; men naar hun kommer, er hun forklædt.«
And the LORD said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son; for he [is] sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign herself [to be] another [woman].
6 Da nu Ahija hørte Lyden af hendes Trin, som hun gik ind ad Døren, sagde han: »Kom kun ind, Jeroboams Hustru! Hvorfor er du forklædt? Mig er det paalagt at bringe dig en tung Tidende.
And it was [so], when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou thyself [to be] another? for I [am] sent to thee [with] heavy [tidings].
7 Gaa hen og sig til Jeroboam: Saa siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Jeg ophøjede dig af Folkets Midte og gjorde dig til Fyrste over mit Folk Israel
Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel,
8 og rev Riget fra Davids Hus og gav dig det; dog har du ikke været som min Tjener David, der holdt mine Bud og fulgte mig af hele sit Hjerte og kun gjorde, hvad der er ret i mine Øjne,
And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee: and [yet] thou hast 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 mine eyes;
9 men du har handlet værre end alle dine Forgængere; du gik hen og krænkede mig og gjorde dig andre Guder og støbte Billeder, men mig kastede du bag din Ryg;
But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:
10 se, derfor vil jeg bringe Ulykke over Jeroboams Hus og udrydde hvert mandligt Væsen, hver og en af Jeroboams Slægt i Israel, og jeg vil feje Jeroboams Hus bort, som man fejer Skarn bort, til der ikke er Spor tilbage!
Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, [and] him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.
11 Den af Jeroboams Slægt, som dør i Byen, skal Hundene æde, og den, som dør paa Marken, skal Himmelens Fugle æde, thi det er HERREN, der har talet!
Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the LORD hath spoken [it].
12 Men gaa nu hjem! Naar din Fod betræder Byen, skal Barnet dø;
Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: [and] when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
13 og hele Israel skal holde Dødeklage over ham og jorde ham, thi han er den eneste af Jeroboams Slægt, der skal komme i en Grav; thi hos ham fandtes dog noget, der vandt HERREN Israels Guds Behag inden for Jeroboams Slægt.
And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him: for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found [some] good thing toward the LORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.
14 Men HERREN vil oprejse sig en Konge over Israel, der skal udrydde Jeroboams Hus paa den Dag.
Moreover the LORD shall raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even now.
15 Men ogsaa siden vil HERREN slaa Israel, saa at de svajer hid og did som Sivet i Vandet, og rykke Israel op fra dette herlige Land, som han gav deres Fædre, og sprede dem hinsides Floden, fordi de har lavet sig Asjerastøtter og krænket HERREN;
For the LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their groves, provoking the LORD to anger.
16 og han vil give Israel til Pris for de Synders Skyld, Jeroboam har begaaet og forledt Israel til.«
And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to sin.
17 Da gav Jeroboams Hustru sig paa Vej og kom til Tirza; og da hun betraadte Husets Tærskel, døde Drengen;
And Jeroboam’s wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah: [and] when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died;
18 og man jordede ham, og hele Israel holdt Dødeklage over ham efter det Ord, HERREN havde talet ved sin Tjener, Profeten Ahija.
And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by the hand of his servant Ahijah the prophet.
19 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jeroboam, hvorledes han førte Krig, og hvorledes han herskede staar jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.
And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they [are] written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
20 Jeroboams Regeringstid udgjorde to og tyve Aar. Saa lagde han sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og hans Søn Nadab blev Konge i hans Sted.
And the days which Jeroboam reigned [were] two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.
21 Rehabeam, Salomos Søn, blev Konge i Juda. Rehabeam var een og fyrretyve Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede sytten Aar i Jerusalem, den By, HERREN havde udvalgt af alle Israels Stammer for der at stedfæste sit Navn. Hans Moder var en ammonitisk Kvinde ved Navn Na'ama.
And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam [was] forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother’s name [was] Naamah an Ammonitess.
22 Og Juda gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, og med de Synder, de begik, vakte de hans Nidkærhed, mere end deres Fædre havde gjort.
And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done.
23 Ogsaa de byggede sig Offerhøje, Stenstøtter og Asjerastøtter paa alle høje Steder og under alle grønne Træer;
For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree.
24 ja, der var endog Mandsskøger i Landet. De øvede alle de Vederstyggeligheder, som var begaaet af de Folk, HERREN havde drevet bort foran Israeliterne.
And there were also sodomites in the land: [and] they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
25 Men i Kong Rehabeams femte Regeringsaar drog Ægypterkongen Sjisjak op imod Jerusalem
And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, [that] Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem:
26 og tog Skattene i HERRENS Hus og i Kongens Palads; alt tog han, ogsaa de Guldskjolde, Salomo havde ladet lave.
And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
27 Kong Rehabeam lod da i Stedet lave Kobberskjolde og gav dem i Forvaring hos Høvedsmændene for Livvagten, der holdt Vagt ved Indgangen til Kongens Palads;
And king Rehoboam made in their stead brasen shields, and committed [them] unto the hands of the chief of the guard, which kept the door of the king’s house.
28 og hver Gang Kongen begav sig til HERRENS Hus, hentede Livvagten dem, og bagefter bragte de dem tilbage til Vagtstuen.
And it was [so], when the king went into the house of the LORD, that the guard bare them, and brought them back into the guard chamber.
29 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Rehabeam, alt, hvad han gjorde, staar jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.
Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
30 Rehabeam og Jeroboam laa i Krig med hinanden hele Tiden.
And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all [their] days.
31 Saa lagde Rehabeam sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet hos sine Fædre i Davidsbyen. Hans Moder var en ammonitisk Kvinde ved Navn Na'ama. Og hans Søn Abija blev Konge i hans Sted.
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother’s name [was] Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.
