Anden Krønikebog 10
1 Rehabeam begav sig til Sikem, thi derhen var hele Israel stævnet for at hylde ham som Konge.
And Roboam came to Sychem: for all Israel came to Sychem to make him king.
2 Men da Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, der opholdt sig i Ægypten, hvorhen han var flygtet for Kong Salomo, fik Nys derom, vendte han hjem fra Ægypten.
And it came to pass when Jeroboam the son of Nabat heard [it], (now he was in Egypt, forasmuch as he had fled there from the face of king Solomon, and Jeroboam lived in Egypt, ) that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
3 Man sendte da Bud og lod ham kalde. Og Jeroboam kom. Da sagde hele Israel til Rehabeam:
And they sent and called him: and Jeroboam and all the congregation came to Roboam, saying,
4 »Din Fader lagde et haardt Aag paa os, men let du nu det haarde Arbejde for os, som din Fader krævede, og det tunge Aag, han lagde paa os, saa vil vi tjene dig!«
Your father made our yoke grievous: now then abate [somewhat] of your father's grievous rule, and of his heavy yoke which he put upon us, and we will serve you.
5 Han svarede dem: »Gaa bort, bi tre Dage og kom saa til mig igen!« Saa gik Folket.
And he said to them, Go away for three days, and [then] come to me. So the people departed.
6 Derpaa raadførte Kong Rehabeam sig med de gamle, der havde staaet i hans Fader Salomos Tjeneste, dengang han levede, og spurgte dem: »Hvad raader I mig til at svare dette Folk?«
And king Roboam assembled the elders that stood before his father Solomon in his life-time, saying, How do you counsel [me] to return an answer to this people?
7 De svarede: »Hvis du i Dag vil være venlig mod dette Folk og føje dem og give dem gode Ord, saa vil de blive dine Tjenere for bestandig!«
And they spoke to him, saying, If you would this day befriend this people, and be kind to them, and speak to them good words, then will they be your servants for ever.
8 Men han fulgte ikke det Raad, de gamle gav ham; derimod raadførte han sig med de unge, der var vokset op sammen med ham og stod i hans Tjeneste,
But he forsook the advice of the old men, who took counsel with him, and he took counsel with the young men who had been brought up with him, who stood before him.
9 og spurgte dem: »Hvad raader I os til at svare dette Folk, som kræver af mig, at jeg skal lette dem det Aag, min Fader lagde paa dem?«
And he said to them, What do you advise that I should answer this people, who spoke to me, saying, Ease [somewhat] of the yoke which your father laid upon us?
10 De unge, der var vokset op sammen med ham, sagde da til ham: »Saaledes skal du svare dette Folk, som sagde til dig: Din Fader lagde et tungt Aag paa os, let du det for os! Saaledes skal du svare dem: Min Lillefinger er tykkere end min Faders Hofter!
And the young men that had been brought up with him spoke to him, saying, Thus shall you speak to the people that spoke to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, and do you lighten [somewhat of it] from us; thus shall you say, My little finger [shall be] thicker than my father's loins.
11 Har derfor min Fader lagt et tungt Aag paa eder, vil jeg gøre Aaget tungere; har min Fader tugtet eder med Svøber, vil jeg tugte eder med Skorpioner!«
And whereas my father chastised you with a heavy yoke, I will also add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, and I will chastise you with scorpions.
12 Da Jeroboam og alt Folket Tredjedagen kom til Rehabeam, som Kongen havde sagt,
And Jeroboam and all the people came to Roboam on the third day, as the king had spoken, saying, Return to me on the third day.
13 gav han dem et haardt Svar, og uden at tage Hensyn til de gamles Raad
And the king answered harshly; and king Roboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
14 sagde han efter de unges Raad til dem: »Har min Fader lagt et tungt Aag paa eder, vil jeg gøre det tungere; har min Fader tugtet eder med Svøber, vil jeg tugte eder med Skorpioner!«
and spoke to them according to the counsel 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 Kongen hørte ikke paa Folket, thi Gud føjede det saaledes for at opfylde det Ord, HERREN havde talet ved Ahija fra Silo til Jeroboam, Nebats Søn.
And the king listened not to the people, for there was a change [of their minds] from God, saying, The Lord has confirmed his word, which he spoke by the hand of Achia the Selonite concerning Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and [concerning] all Israel;
16 Men da hele Israel mærkede, at Kongen ikke hørte paa dem, gav Folket Kongen det Svar: »Hvad Del har vi i David? Vi har ingen Lod i Isajs Søn! Til dine Telte, Israel! Sørg nu, David, for dit eget Hus!« Derpaa vendte Israel tilbage til sine Telte.
for the king did not listen to them. And the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David, or inheritance in the son of Jessae? to your tents, O Israel: now see to your own house, David. So all Israel went to their tents.
17 Men over de Israeliter, der boede i Judas Byer, blev Rehabeam Konge.
But the men of Israel, even those who lived in the cities of Juda, [remained] and made Roboam king over them.
18 Nu sendte Kong Rehabeam Adoniram, der havde Opsyn med Hoveriarbejdet, ud til dem, men Israeliterne stenede ham til Døde. Da steg Kong Rehabeam i største Hast op paa sin Stridsvogn og flygtede til Jerusalem.
And king Roboam sent to them Adoniram that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. And king Roboam hasted to mount [his] chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 Saa brød Israel med Davids Hus, og saaledes er det den Dag i Dag.
So Israel rebelled against the house of David until this day.
