< Første Kongebog 14 >
1 Ved den Tid blev Jeroboams Søn Abija syg.
At that time was Abijah son of Jeroboam 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 saith to his wife, 'Rise, I pray thee, and change thyself, and they know not that thou [art] wife of Jeroboam, and thou hast gone to Shiloh; lo, there [is] Ahijah the prophet; he spake unto me of [being] 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 thou hast taken in thy hand ten loaves, and crumbs, and a bottle of honey, and hast gone in unto him; he doth declare to thee what becometh of the youth.'
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 the wife of Jeroboam doth so, and riseth, and goeth to Shiloh, and entereth the house of Ahijah, and Ahijah is not able to see, for his eyes have stood because 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 Jehovah said unto Ahijah, 'Lo, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to seek a word from thee concerning her son, for he is sick; thus and thus thou dost speak unto her, and it cometh to pass at her coming in, that she is making herself strange.'
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 cometh to pass, at Ahijah's hearing the sound of her feet [as] she came in to the opening, that he saith, 'Come in, wife of Jeroboam, why is this — thou art making thyself strange? and I am sent unto thee [with] a sharp thing:
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, say to Jeroboam, Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Because that I have made thee high out of the midst of the people, and appoint thee leader 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 rend the kingdom from the house of David, and give it to thee, — and thou hast not been as My servant David who kept My commands, and who walked after Me with all his heart, to do only that which [is] 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;
and thou dost evil above all who have been before thee, and goest, and makest to thee other gods and molten images to provoke Me to anger, and Me thou hast cast 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, lo, I am bringing in evil unto the house of Jeroboam, and have cut off to Jeroboam those sitting on the wall — shut up and left — in Israel, and have put away the posterity of the house of Jeroboam, as one putteth away the dung till its consumption;
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 who dieth of Jeroboam in a city do the dogs eat, and him who dieth in a field do fowl of the heavens eat, for Jehovah hath spoken.
12 Men gaa nu hjem! Naar din Fod betræder Byen, skal Barnet dø;
'And thou, rise, go to thy house; in the going in of thy feet to the city — hath the lad died;
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 have mourned for him, and buried him, for this one — by himself — cometh of Jeroboam unto a grave, because there hath been found in him a good thing towards Jehovah, 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.
'And Jehovah hath raised up for Him a king over Israel who cutteth off the house of Jeroboam this day — and 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;
And Jehovah hath smitten Israel as the reed is moved by the waters, and hath plucked Israel from off this good ground that He gave to their fathers, and scattered them beyond the River, because that they made their shrines, provoking Jehovah to anger;
16 og han vil give Israel til Pris for de Synders Skyld, Jeroboam har begaaet og forledt Israel til.«
and He giveth up Israel because of the sins of Jeroboam that he sinned, and that he caused Israel to sin.'
17 Da gav Jeroboams Hustru sig paa Vej og kom til Tirza; og da hun betraadte Husets Tærskel, døde Drengen;
And the wife of Jeroboam riseth, and goeth, and cometh to Tirzah; she hath come in to the threshold of the house, and the youth dieth;
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 bury him, and mourn for him do all Israel, according to the word of Jehovah, that 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 matters of Jeroboam, how he fought, and how he reigned, lo, they are written on 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 that Jeroboam reigned [are] twenty and two years, and he lieth with his fathers, and reign doth Nadab his son 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 son of Solomon hath reigned in Judah; a son of forty and one years [is] Rehoboam in his reigning, and seventeen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, the city that Jehovah chose to set His name there, out of all the tribes of Israel, and the name of his mother [is] Naamah the 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 doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and they make Him zealous above all that their fathers did by their sins that they have sinned.
23 Ogsaa de byggede sig Offerhøje, Stenstøtter og Asjerastøtter paa alle høje Steder og under alle grønne Træer;
And they build — also they — for themselves high places, and standing-pillars, and shrines, on every high height, 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 also a whoremonger hath been in the land; they have done according to all the abominations of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel.
25 Men i Kong Rehabeams femte Regeringsaar drog Ægypterkongen Sjisjak op imod Jerusalem
And it cometh to pass, in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, gone up hath Shishak king of Egypt 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 taketh the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the house of the king, yea, the whole he hath taken; and he taketh all the shields of gold that Solomon 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 maketh in their stead shields of brass, and hath made [them] a charge on the hand of the heads of the runners, those keeping the opening of the house of the king,
28 og hver Gang Kongen begav sig til HERRENS Hus, hentede Livvagten dem, og bagefter bragte de dem tilbage til Vagtstuen.
and it cometh to pass, from the going in of the king to the house of Jehovah, the runners bear them, and have brought them back unto the chamber of the runners.
29 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Rehabeam, alt, hvad han gjorde, staar jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.
And the rest of the matters of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
30 Rehabeam og Jeroboam laa i Krig med hinanden hele Tiden.
And war hath been between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the 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 lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers, in the city of David, and the name of his mother [is] Naamah the Ammonitess, and reign doth Abijam his son in his stead.
