Første Kongebog 11
1 Kong Salomo elskede foruden Faraos Datter mange fremmede Kvinder, moabitiske, ammonitiske, edomitiske, zidoniske og hetitiske Kvinder,
Now King Solomon loved many foreign women including the daughter of Pharaoh—women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites.
2 Kvinder fra de Folkeslag, HERREN havde sagt om til Israeliterne: "I må ikke have med dem at gøre og de ikke med eder, ellers drager de eders Hjerte til deres Guder!" Ved dem hang Salomo i Kærlighed.
They were from the nations about which Yahweh said to the people of Israel, “You will not go among them to marry, neither will they come among you, for they will certainly turn your heart to their gods.” In spite of this command, Solomon was affectionate toward these women in love.
3 Han havde 700 fyrsfelige Hustruer og 300 Medhustruer, og hans Hustruer drog hans Hjerte bort fra Herren.
Solomon had seven hundred royal wives and three hundred concubines. His wives turned his heart away.
4 Da Salomo blev gammel, drog hans Hustruer hans Hjerte til fremmede Guder, og hans Hjerte var ikke mere helt med HERREN hans Gud som hans fader Davids.
For when Solomon grew old, his wives turned away his heart after other gods; his heart was not fully surrendered to Yahweh his God, as was the heart of David his father.
5 Salomo holdt sig da til Astarte, Zidoniernes Gudinde, og til Milkom, Ammoniternes væmmelige Gud.
For Solomon followed Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and he followed Molech, the disgusting idol of the Ammonites.
6 Således gjorde Salomo, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, og viste ikke HERREN fuld Lydighed som hans Fader David.
Solomon did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh; he did not fully follow Yahweh as David his father had done.
7 Ved den Tid byggede Salomo en Offerhøj for Kemosj, Moabs væmmelige Gud, på Bjerget østen for Jerusalem, og for Milkom, Ammoniternes væmmelige Gud;
Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh, the disgusting idol of Moab, on a hill east of Jerusalem, and also for Molech, the disgusting idol of the people of Ammon.
8 og samme Hensyn viste han alle sine fremmede Hustruer, som tændte Offerild for deres Guder og ofrede til dem.
He also built high places for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods at them.
9 Da vrededes HERREN på Salomo, fordi han vendte sit Hjerte bort fra HERREN, Israels Gud, der dog to Gange havde ladet sig til Syne for ham
Yahweh was angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from him, the God of Israel, even though he had appeared to him twice
10 og udtrykkelig havde påbudt ham ikke at holde sig til fremmede Guder; men han holdt ikke, hvad HERREN havde påbudt ham.
and commanded him about this very thing, that he should not go after other gods. But Solomon did not obey what Yahweh commanded.
11 Derfor sagde HERREN til Salomo: "Fordi det står således til med dig, og fordi du ikke har holdt min Pagt og mine Anordninger, som jeg pålagde dig, vil jeg visselig rive Riget fra dig og give din Træl det.
Therefore Yahweh said to Solomon, “Because you have done this and have not kept the covenant and my statutes that I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you and give it to your servant.
12 Dog vil jeg ikke gøre det i din Levetid for din Fader Davids Skyld men jeg vil rive det ud af din Søns Hånd.
However, for David your father's sake, I will not do it in your lifetime, but I will tear it out of the hand of your son.
13 Kun vil jeg ikke rive hele Riget fra ham, men give din Søn en Stamme deraf for min Tjener Davids Skyld og for Jerusalems Skyld, den By, jeg udvalgte.
Yet I will not tear away all the kingdom; I will give one tribe to your son for David my servant's sake, and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”
14 HERREN gav Salomo en Modstander i Edomiten Hadad af Kongeslægten i Edom.
Then Yahweh raised up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite. He was from the royal family of Edom.
15 Thi dengang David lod Edomiterne hugge ned, da Hærføreren Joab drog op for at jorde de faldne og hugge alle af Mandkøn ned i Edom -
When David was in Edom, Joab the captain of the army had gone up to bury the dead, every man who had been killed in Edom.
16 Joab og hele Israel blev der i seks Måneder, til han havde udryddet alle af Mandkøn i Edom -
Joab and all Israel remained there six months until he had killed every male in Edom.
17 da var Adad med nogle edomitiske Mænd af hans Faders Folk flygtet ad Ægypten til. Dengang var Hadad endnu en lille Dreng.
But Hadad was taken with other Edomites by his father's servants into Egypt, since Hadad was still a little child.
18 De brød op fra Midjan og nåede Paran; og efter at have taget nogle Mænd fra Paran med sig drog de til Ægypten, hvor Farao, Ægypterkongen, overlod ham et Hus, tilsagde ham daglig Føde og gav ham Land.
They left Midian and came to Paran, from where they took men with them to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house and land and food.
19 Og da Farao fattede særlig Godhed for Hadad, gav han ham sin Svigerinde, en Søster til Dronning Takpenes, til Ægte.
Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that Pharaoh gave him a wife, his own wife's sister, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.
20 Takpeness Søster fødte ham Sønnen Genubat; og da Takpenes havde vænnet Barnet fra i Faraos Hus, blev Genubat i Faraos Hus blandt Faraos egne Børn.
The sister of Tahpenes gave birth to Hadad's son. They named him Genubath. Tahpenes raised him in Pharaoh's palace. So Genubath lived in Pharaoh's palace among the children of Pharaoh.
21 Da nu Hadad i Ægypten hørte, at David havde lagt sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og at Hærføreren Joab var død, sagde han til Farao: "Lad mig drage til mit Land!"
While he was in Egypt, Hadad heard that David had lain down with his ancestors and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me depart, so I may go to my own country.”
22 Farao sagde til ham: "Hvad savner du her hos mig, siden du ønsker at drage til dit Land?" Men han svarede: "Å jo, lad mig nu rejse!" Så vendte Hadad tilbage til sit Land. Det var den ulykke, Hadad voldte: Han bragte Trængsel over Israel og blev Konge over Edom. -
Then Pharaoh said to him, “But what have you lacked with me, that you now seek to go to your own country?” Hadad answered, “Nothing. Please let me go.”
23 Fremdeles gav Gud ham en Modstander i Rezon, Eljadas Søn, der var flygtet fra sin Herre, Kong Hadadezer af Zoba.
God also raised up another adversary to Solomon, Rezon son of Eliada, who had fled from his master Hadadezer king of Zobah.
24 Han samlede en Del Mænd om sig og blev Høvding for en Friskare. Han indtog Damaskus, satte sig fast der og blev Konge i Damaskus.
Rezon gathered men to himself and became captain over a small force, when David defeated the men of Zobah. Rezon's men went to Damascus and lived there, and Rezon controlled Damascus.
25 Han var Israels Modstander, så længe Salomo levede.
He was an enemy of Israel all the days of Solomon, along with the trouble that Hadad caused. Rezon abhorred Israel and reigned over Aram.
26 Endvidere var der Efraimiten Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, fra Zereda, som stod i Salomos Tjeneste, og hvis Moder hed Zerua og var Enke; han løftede Hånd mod Kongen.
Then Jeroboam son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, an official of Solomon, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow, also lifted up his hand against the king.
27 Hermed gik det således til Salomo byggede på Millo; han lukkede Hullet i sin Fader Davids By.
He lifted up his hand against the king because Solomon had built up the place located at Millo and repaired the opening in the city wall of David his father.
28 Nu var Jeroboam et dygtigt Menneske, og da Salomo så, hvorledes den unge Mand udførte Arbejdet, gav han ham Opsyn med hele Arbejdsstyrken af Josefs Hus.
Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor. Solomon saw that the young man was industrious, so he gave him command over all the labor of the house of Joseph.
29 På den Tid hændte det sig, engang Jeroboam var rejst fra Jerusalem, at Profeten Ahija fra Silo traf ham på Vejen. Ahija var iført en ny Kappe, og de to var ene på Marken.
At that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the road. Now Ahijah had dressed in a new garment and the two men were alone in the field.
30 Da greb Ahija fat i den ny Kappe, han havde på, rev den i tolv Stykker
Then Ahijah grabbed hold of the new garment that was on him and tore it into twelve pieces.
31 og sagde til Jeroboam: "Tag dig de ti Stykker, thi så siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Se, jeg river Riget ud af Salomos Hånd og giver dig de ti Stammer.
He said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces, for Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, 'Look, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and I will give ten tribes to you
32 Den ene Stamme skal han beholde for min Tjener Davids Skyld og for Jerusalems Skyld, den By, jeg udvalgte af alle Israels Stammer;
(but Solomon will have one tribe, for my servant David's sake and for Jerusalem's sake—the city that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel),
33 det vil jeg gøre, fordi han har forladt mig og tilbedt Astarte, Zidoniernes Gudinde, Kemosj, Moabs Gud, og Milkom, Ammoniternes Gud, og ikke vandret på mine Veje og gjort, hvad der er ret i mine Øjne, eller holdt mine Anordninger og Lovbud som hans Fader David.
because they have forsaken me and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Molech the god of the people of Ammon. They have not walked in my ways, to do what is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my decrees, as did David his father.
34 Fra ham vil jeg dog ikke tage Riget, men lade ham være Fyrste, så længe han lever, for min Tjener Davids Skyld, som jeg udvalgte, og som holdt mine Bud og Anordninger.
However, I will not take the whole kingdom out of Solomon's hand. Instead, I have made him ruler all the days of his life, for David my servant's sake whom I chose, the one who kept my commandments and my statutes.
35 Men jeg vil tage Riget fra hans Søn og give dig det, de ti Stammer;
But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand and I will give it to you, ten tribes.
36 og hans Søn vil jeg give en Stamme, for at min Tjener David altid kan have en Lampe for mit Åsyn i Jerusalem, den By, jeg udvalgte for der at stedfæste mit Navn.
I will give one tribe to Solomon's son, so that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem, the city in which I have chosen to put my name.
37 Men dig vil jeg tage og sætte til Hersker over alt, hvad du attrår, og du skal være Konge over Israel.
I will take you, and you will rule to fulfill all that you desire, and you will be king over Israel.
38 Dersom du da er lydig i alt hvad jeg byder dig, vandrer på mine Veje og gør, hvad der er ret i mine Øjne, så du holder mine Anordnioger og Bud, som min Tjener David gjorde, vil jeg være med dig og bygge dig et varigt Hus, som jeg gjorde det for David. Dig giver jeg Israel;
If you listen to all that I command you, and if you walk in my ways and do what is right in my eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, then I will be with you and will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.
39 men jeg ydmyger Davids Slægt for den Sags Skyld, dog ikke for stedse!"
I will punish the descendants of David, but not forever.'”
40 Da nu Salomo stod Jeroboam efter Livet, flygtede han til Ægypten, til Ægypterkoogen Sjisjak; og han blev i Ægypten, til Salomo døde.
So Solomon tried to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam got up and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and he remained in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
41 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Salomo, alt, hvad han gjorde, og hans Visdom, står jo optegnet i Salomos Krønike.
As for the other matters concerning Solomon, all that he did and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the events of Solomon?
42 Den Tid, Salomo herskede i Jerusalem over hele Israel, udgjorde fyrretyve År.
Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel for forty years.
43 Så lagde Salomo sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i sin Fader Davids By. Og hans Søn Rehabeam blev Konge i hans Sted.
He slept with his ancestors and he was buried in the city of David his father. Rehoboam his son became king in his place.
