1 Kings 11

1 King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh—women of Moab, Ammon, Edom, and Sidon, as well as Hittite women.

Kong Salomo elskede foruden Faraos Datter mange fremmede Kvinder, moabitiske, ammonitiske, edomitiske, zidoniske og hetitiske Kvinder,

2 These women were from the nations about which the LORD had told the Israelites, “You must not intermarry with them, for surely they will turn your hearts after their gods.” Yet Solomon clung to these women in love.

Kvinder fra de Folkeslag, HERREN havde sagt om til Israeliterne: »I maa 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.

3 He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines—and his wives turned his heart away.

Han havde 700 fyrstelige Hustruer og 300 Medhustruer, og hans Hustruer drog hans Hjerte bort fra Herren.

4 For when Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and he was not wholeheartedly devoted to the LORD his God, as his father David had been.

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.

5 Solomon followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians and Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

Salomo holdt sig da til Astarte, Zidoniernes Gudinde, og til Milkom, Ammoniternes væmmelige Gud.

6 So Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD; unlike his father David, he did not follow the LORD completely.

Saaledes gjorde Salomo, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, og viste ikke HERREN fuld Lydighed som hans Fader David.

7 At that time on a hill east of Jerusalem, Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab and for Molech the abomination of the Ammonites.

Ved den Tid byggede Salomo en Offerhøj for Kemosj, Moabs væmmelige Gud, paa Bjerget østen for Jerusalem, og for Milkom, Ammoniternes væmmelige Gud;

8 He did the same for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

og samme Hensyn viste han alle sine fremmede Hustruer, som tændte Offerild for deres Guder og ofrede til dem.

9 Now the LORD grew angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice.

Da vrededes HERREN paa Salomo, fordi han vendte sit Hjerte bort fra HERREN, Israels Gud, der dog to Gange havde ladet sig til Syne for ham

10 Although He had warned Solomon explicitly not to follow other gods, Solomon did not keep the LORD’s command.

og udtrykkelig havde paabudt ham ikke at holde sig til fremmede Guder; men han holdt ikke, hvad HERREN havde paabudt ham.

11 Then the LORD said to Solomon, “Because you have done this and have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, I will tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant.

Derfor sagde HERREN til Salomo: »Fordi det staar saaledes til med dig, og fordi du ikke har holdt min Pagt og mine Anordninger, som jeg paalagde dig, vil jeg visselig rive Riget fra dig og give din Træl det.

12 Nevertheless, for the sake of your father David, I will not do it during your lifetime; I will tear it out of the hand of your son.

Dog vil jeg ikke gøre det i din Levetid for din Fader Davids Skyld men jeg vil rive det ud af din Søns Haand.

13 Yet I will not tear the whole kingdom away from him. I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”

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.«

14 Then the LORD raised up against Solomon an adversary, Hadad the Edomite, from the royal line of Edom.

HERREN gav Salomo en Modstander i Edomiten Hadad af Kongeslægten i Edom.

15 Earlier, when David was in Edom, Joab the commander of the army had gone to bury the dead and had struck down every male in Edom.

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 —

16 Joab and all Israel had stayed there six months, until he had killed every male in Edom.

Joab og hele Israel blev der i seks Maaneder, til han havde udryddet alle af Mandkøn i Edom —

17 But Hadad, still just a young boy, had fled to Egypt, along with some Edomites who were servants of his father.

da var Adad med nogle edomitiske Mænd af hans Faders Folk flygtet ad Ægypten til. Dengang var Hadad endnu en lille Dreng.

18 Hadad and his men set out from Midian and went to Paran. They took men from Paran with them and went to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave Hadad a house and land and provided him with food.

De brød op fra Midjan og naaede 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.

19 There Hadad found such great favor in the sight of Pharaoh that he gave to him in marriage the sister of Queen Tahpenes, his own wife.

Og da Farao fattede særlig Godhed for Hadad, gav han ham sin Svigerinde, en Søster til Dronning Takpenes, til Ægte.

20 And the sister of Tahpenes bore Hadad a son named Genubath. Tahpenes herself weaned him in Pharaoh’s palace, and Genubath lived there among the sons of Pharaoh.

Takpenes's Søster fødte ham Sønnen Genubat; og da Takpenes havde vænnet Barnet fra i Faraos Hus, blev Genubat i Faraos Hus blandt Faraos egne Børn.

21 When Hadad heard in Egypt that David had rested with his fathers and that Joab, the commander of the army, was dead, he said to Pharaoh, “Let me go, that I may return to my own country.”

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!«

22 But Pharaoh asked him, “What have you lacked here with me that you suddenly want to go back to your own country?” “Nothing,” Hadad replied, “but please let me go.”

Farao sagde til ham: »Hvad savner du her hos mig, siden du ønsker at drage til dit Land?« Men han svarede: »Aa jo, lad mig nu rejse!« Saa vendte Hadad tilbage til sit Land. Det var den Ulykke, Hadad voldte: Han bragte Trængsel over Israel og blev Konge over Edom.

23 And God raised up against Solomon another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his master, Hadadezer king of Zobah,

Fremdeles gav Gud ham en Modstander i Rezon, Eljadas Søn, der var flygtet fra sin Herre, Kong Hadad'ezer af Zoba.

24 and had gathered men to himself. When David killed the Zobaites, Rezon captained a band of raiders and went to Damascus, where they settled and gained control.

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.

25 Rezon was Israel’s enemy throughout the days of Solomon, adding to the trouble caused by Hadad. So Rezon ruled over Aram with hostility toward Israel.

Han var Israels Modstander, saa længe Salomo levede.

26 Now Jeroboam son of Nebat was an Ephraimite from Zeredah whose mother was a widow named Zeruah. Jeroboam was a servant of Solomon, but he rebelled against the king,

Endvidere var der Efraimiten Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, fra Zereda, som stod i Salomos Tjeneste, og hvis Moder hed Zerua og var Enke; han løftede Haand mod Kongen.

27 and this is the account of his rebellion against the king. Solomon had built the supporting terraces and repaired the gap in the wall of the city of his father David.

Hermed gik det saaledes til Salomo byggede paa Millo; han lukkede Hullet i sin Fader Davids By.

28 Now Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor. So when Solomon noticed that the young man was industrious, he put him in charge of the whole labor force of the house of Joseph.

Nu var Jeroboam et dygtigt Menneske, og da Salomo saa, hvorledes den unge Mand udførte Arbejdet, gav han ham Opsyn med hele Arbejdsstyrken af Josefs Hus.

29 During that time, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite met Jeroboam on the road as he was going out of Jerusalem. Now Ahijah had wrapped himself in a new cloak, and the two of them were alone in the open field.

Paa den Tid hændte det sig, engang Jeroboam var rejst fra Jerusalem, at Profeten Ahija fra Silo traf ham paa Vejen. Ahija var iført en ny Kappe, og de to var ene paa Marken.

30 And Ahijah took hold of the new cloak he was wearing, tore it into twelve pieces,

Da greb Ahija fat i den ny Kappe, han havde paa, rev den i tolv Stykker

31 and said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and I will give you ten tribes.

og sagde til Jeroboam: »Tag dig de ti Stykker, thi saa siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Se, jeg river Riget ud af Salomos Haand og giver dig de ti Stammer.

32 But one tribe will remain for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.

Den ene Stamme skal han beholde for min Tjener Davids Skyld og for Jerusalems Skyld, den By, jeg udvalgte af alle Israels Stammer;

33 For they have forsaken Me to worship Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the Ammonites. They have not walked in My ways, nor done what is right in My eyes, nor kept My statutes and judgments, as Solomon’s father David did.

det vil jeg gøre, fordi han har forladt mig og tilbedt Astarte, Zidoniernes Gudinde, Kemosj, Moabs Gud, og Milkom, Ammoniternes Gud, og ikke vandret paa mine Veje og gjort, hvad der er ret i mine Øjne, eller holdt mine Anordninger og Lovbud som hans Fader David.

34 Nevertheless, I will not take the whole kingdom out of Solomon’s hand, because I have made him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of David My servant, whom I chose because he kept My commandments and statutes.

Fra ham vil jeg dog ikke tage Riget, men lade ham være Fyrste, saa længe han lever, for min Tjener Davids Skyld, som jeg udvalgte, og som holdt mine Bud og Anordninger.

35 But I will take ten tribes of the kingdom from the hand of his son and give them to you.

Men jeg vil tage Riget fra hans Søn og give dig det, de ti Stammer;

36 I will give one tribe to his son, so that My servant David will always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to put My Name.

og hans Søn vil jeg give en Stamme, for at min Tjener David altid kan have en Lampe for mit Aasyn i Jerusalem, den By, jeg udvalgte for der at stedfæste mit Navn.

37 But as for you, I will take you, and you shall reign over all that your heart desires, and you will be king over Israel.

Men dig vil jeg tage og sætte til Hersker over alt, hvad du attraar, og du skal være Konge over Israel.

38 If you listen to all that I command you, walk in My ways, and do what is right in My sight in order to keep My statutes and commandments as My servant David did, then I will be with you. I will build you a lasting dynasty just as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you.

Dersom du da er lydig i alt hvad jeg byder dig, vandrer paa mine Veje og gør, hvad der er ret i mine Øjne, saa du holder mine Anordninger 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;

39 Because of this, I will humble David’s descendants—but not forever.’”

men jeg ydmyger Davids Slægt for den Sags Skyld, dog ikke for stedse!«

40 Solomon therefore sought to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam arose and fled to Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, where he remained until the death of Solomon.

Da nu Salomo stod Jeroboam efter Livet, flygtede han til Ægypten, til Ægypterkongen Sjisjak; og han blev i Ægypten, til Salomo døde.

41 As for the rest of the acts of Solomon—all that he did, as well as his wisdom—are they not written in the Book of the Acts of Solomon?

Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Salomo, alt, hvad han gjorde, og hans Visdom, staar jo optegnet i Salomos Krønike.

42 Thus the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

Den Tid, Salomo herskede i Jerusalem over hele Israel, udgjorde fyrretyve Aar.

43 And Solomon rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of his father David. And his son Rehoboam reigned in his place.

Saa 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.
