Anden Krønikebog 12
1 Men da Rehabeams Kongedømme var grundfæstet og hans Magt styrket, forlod han tillige med hele Israel HERRENS Lov.
After Rehoboam had established his sovereignty and royal power, he and all Israel with him forsook the Law of the LORD.
2 Da drog i Kong Rehabeams femte Regeringsaar Ægypterkongen Sjisjak op imod Jerusalem, fordi de havde været troløse mod HERREN,
In the fifth year of Rehoboam’s reign, because they had been unfaithful to the LORD, Shishak king of Egypt came up and attacked Jerusalem
3 med 1200 Stridsvogne og 60 000 Ryttere, og der var ikke Tal paa Krigerne, der drog med ham fra Ægypten, Libyere, Sukkijiter og Ætiopere;
with 1,200 chariots, 60,000 horsemen, and countless troops who came with him out of Egypt—Libyans, Sukkites, and Cushites.
4 og efter at have indtaget Fæstningerne i Juda drog han mod Jerusalem.
He captured the fortified cities of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem.
5 Da kom Profeten Sjemaja til Rehabeam og Judas Øverster, som var tyet sammen i Jerusalem for Sjisjak, og sagde til dem: »Saa siger HERREN: I har forladt mig, derfor har jeg ogsaa forladt eder og givet eder i Sjisjaks Haand!«
Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah who had gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and he said to them, “This is what the LORD says: ‘You have forsaken Me; therefore, I have forsaken you into the hand of Shishak.’”
6 Da ydmygede Israels Øverster og Kongen sig og sagde: »HERREN er retfærdig!«
So the leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, “The LORD is righteous.”
7 Og da HERREN saa, at de havde ydmyget sig, kom HERRENS Ord til Sjemaja saaledes: »De har ydmyget sig; derfor vil jeg ikke tilintetgøre dem, men frelse dem om ikke længe, og min Vrede skal ikke udgydes over Jerusalem ved Sjisjak;
When the LORD saw that they had humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves; I will not destroy them, but will soon grant them deliverance. My wrath will not be poured out on Jerusalem through Shishak.
8 men de skal komme til at staa under ham og lære at kende Forskellen mellem at tjene mig og at tjene Hedningemagterne!«
Nevertheless, they will become his servants, so that they may learn the difference between serving Me and serving the kings of other lands.”
9 Saa drog Sjisjak op mod Jerusalem og tog Skattene i HERRENS Hus og i Kongens Palads; alt tog han, ogsaa de Guldskjolde, Salomo havde ladet lave.
So King Shishak of Egypt attacked Jerusalem and seized the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the royal palace. He took everything, including the gold shields that Solomon had made.
10 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;
Then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place and committed them to the care of the captains of the guard on duty at the entrance to the royal palace.
11 og hver Gang Kongen begav sig til HERRENS Hus, kom Livvagten og hentede dem, og bagefter bragte de dem tilbage til Vagtstuen.
And whenever the king entered the house of the LORD, the guards would go with him, bearing the shields, and later they would return them to the guardroom.
12 Men da han havde ydmyget sig, vendte HERRENS Vrede sig fra ham, saa han ikke helt tilintetgjorde ham; ogsaa i Juda var Forholdene gode.
Because Rehoboam humbled himself, the anger of the LORD turned away from him, and He did not destroy him completely. Indeed, conditions were good in Judah.
13 Saaledes styrkede Kong Rehabeam sin Magt i Jerusalem og blev ved at herske; thi 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.
Thus King Rehoboam established himself in Jerusalem. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel in which to put His Name. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite.
14 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt, thi hans Hjerte var ikke vendt til at søge HERREN.
And Rehoboam did evil because he did not set his heart to seek the LORD.
15 Rehabeams Historie fra først til sidst staar jo optegnet i Profeten Sjemajas og Seeren Iddos Krønike. Rehabeam og Jeroboam laa i Krig med hinanden hele Tiden.
Now the acts of Rehoboam, from first to last, are they not written in the records of Shemaiah the Prophet and of Iddo the Seer concerning the genealogies? There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam throughout their days.
16 Saa lagde Rehabeam sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i Davidsbyen. Og hans Søn Abija blev Konge i hans Sted.
And Rehoboam rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And his son Abijah reigned in his place.
