Anden Krønikebog 10
1 Rehabeam begav sig til Sikem, thi derhen var hele Israel stævnet for at hylde ham som Konge.
And Rehoboam goes to Shechem, for all of Israel has come [to] Shechem to cause him to reign.
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 comes to pass, at Jeroboam son of Nebat—who [is] in Egypt because he has fled from the face of Solomon the king—hearing, that Jeroboam turns back out of Egypt;
3 Man sendte da Bud og lod ham kalde. Og Jeroboam kom. Da sagde hele Israel til Rehabeam:
and they send and call for him, and Jeroboam comes in, and all of Israel, and they speak to Rehoboam, 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 sharp, and now, make light [some] of the sharp service of your father, and [some] of his heavy yoke that he put on us, and we serve you.”
5 Han svarede dem: »Gaa bort, bi tre Dage og kom saa til mig igen!« Saa gik Folket.
And he says to them, “Yet three days—then return to me”; and the people go.
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 Rehoboam consults with the aged men who have been standing before his father Solomon in his being alive, saying, “How are you counseling to answer 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 speak to him, saying, “If you become good to this people, and have been pleased with them, and spoken to them good words, then they have been servants to you [for] all the days.”
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,
And he forsakes the counsel of the aged men that they counseled him, and consults with the boys who have grown up with him, those standing 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 says to them, “What are you counseling, and we answer this people that have spoken to me, saying, Make light [some] of the yoke that your father put on 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 boys who have grown up with him speak with him, saying, “Thus you say to the people who have spoken to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, and you, make light [some] of our yoke; thus you say to them, My little finger is thicker than the loins of my father;
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 now, my father laid a heavy yoke on you, and I add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, and I—with scorpions.”
12 Da Jeroboam og alt Folket Tredjedagen kom til Rehabeam, som Kongen havde sagt,
And Jeroboam comes in, and all the people, to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king spoke, 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 answers them sharply, and King Rehoboam forsakes the counsel of the aged 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 speaks to them according to the counsel of the boys, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, and I add to it; my father disciplined you with whips, and I—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 has not listened to the people, for the revolution has been from God, for the sake of YHWH’s establishing His word that He spoke by the hand of Abijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.
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.
And all Israel have seen that the king has not listened to them, and the people send back [word to] the king, saying, “What portion do we have in David? Indeed, there is no inheritance in a son of Jesse; [go], each to your tents, O Israel! Now see your house, O David!” And all [in] Israel go to their tents.
17 Men over de Israeliter, der boede i Judas Byer, blev Rehabeam Konge.
As for the sons of Israel who are dwelling in the cities of Judah—Rehoboam reigns 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 Rehoboam sends Hadoram, who [is] over the tribute, and the sons of Israel cast stones at him, and he dies; and King Rehoboam has strengthened himself to go up into a chariot to flee to Jerusalem;
19 Saa brød Israel med Davids Hus, og saaledes er det den Dag i Dag.
and Israel transgresses against the house of David to this day.
