Anden Krønikebog 12
1 Men da Rehabeams Kongedømme var grundfæstet og hans Magt styrket, forlod han tillige med hele Israel HERRENs Lov.
And it came to pass when the kingdom of Roboam was established, and when he had grown strong, [that] he forsook the commandments of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
2 Da drog i Kong Rehabeams femte Regeringsår Ægypterkongen Sjisjak op imod Jerusalem, fordi de havde været troløse mod HERREN,
And it came to pass in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Susakim king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had sinned against the Lord,
3 med 1200 Stridsvogne og 60.000 Ryttere, og der var ikke Tal på Krigerne, der drog med ham fra Ægypten, Libyere, Sukkijiter og Ætiopere;
with twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horses: and there was no number of the multitude that came with him from Egypt; Libyans, Trogodytes, and Ethiopians.
4 og efter at have indtaget Fæstningerne i Juda drog han mod Jerusalem.
And they obtained possession of the strong cities, which were in Juda, and came to Jerusalem.
5 Da kom Profeten Sjemaja til Rehabeam og Judas Øverster, som var tyet sammen i Jerusalem for Sjisjak, og sagde til dem: "Så siger HERREN: I har forladt mig, derfor har jeg også forladt eder og givet eder i Sjisjaks Hånd!"
And Samaias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda that were gathered to Jerusalem for fear of Susakim, and said to them, Thus said the Lord, You have left me, and I will leave you in the hand of Susakim.
6 Da ydmygede Israels Øverster og Kongen sig og sagde: "HERREN er retfærdig!"
And the elders of Israel and the king were ashamed, and said, The Lord [is] righteous.
7 Og da HERREN så, at de havde ydmyget sig, kom HERRENs Ord til Sjemaja således: "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;
And when the Lord saw that they repented, then came the word of the Lord to Samaias, saying, They have repented; I will not destroy them, but I will set them in safety for a little while, and my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem.
8 men de skal komme til at stå under ham og lære at kende Forskellen mellem at tjene mig og at tjene Hedningemagterne!"
Nevertheless they shall be servants, and know my service, and the service of the kings of the earth.
9 Så drog Sjisjak op mod Jerusalem og tog Skattene i HERRENs Hus og i Kongens Palads; alt tog han, også de Guldskjolde, Salomo havde ladet lave.
So Susakim king of Egypt went up against Jerusalem, and took the treasures that were in the house of the Lord, and the treasures that were in the king's house: he took all; and he took the golden shields which 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;
And king Roboam made brazen shields instead of them. And Susakim set over him captains of footmen, as keepers of the gate of the king.
11 og hver Gang Kongen begav sig til HERRENs Hus, kom Livvagten og hentede dem, og bagefter bragte de dem tilbage til Vagtstuen.
And it came to pass, when the king went into the house of the Lord, the guards and the footmen went in, and they that returned to meet the footmen.
12 Men da han havde ydmyget sig, vendfe HERRENs Vrede sig fra ham, så han ikke helt tilintetgjorde ham; også i Juda var Forholdene gode.
And when he repented, the anger of the Lord turned from him, and did not destroy him utterly; for there were good things in Juda.
13 Således styrkede Kong Rehabeam sin Magt i Jerusalem og blev ved at herske; thi Rehabeam var een og fyrretyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede sytten År 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.
So king Roboam strengthened [himself] in Jerusalem, and reigned: and Roboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, in the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of the children of Israel to call his name there: and his mother's name was Noomma the Ammanitess.
14 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt, thi hans Hjerte var ikke vendt til at søge HERREN.
And he did evil, for he directed not his heart to seek the Lord.
15 Rehabeams Historie fra først til sidst står jo optegnet i Profeten Sjemajas og Seeren tddos Krønike. Rehabeam og Jeroboam lå i Krig med hinanden hele Tiden.
And the acts of Roboam, the first and the last, behold, are they not written in the book of Samaia the prophet, and Addo the seer, with his achievements.
16 Så lagde Rehabeam sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i Davidsbyen. Og hans Søn Abija blev Konge i hans Sted.
And Roboam made war with Jeroboam all [his] days. And Roboam died with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abia his son reigned in his stead.
