1 Kings 14
1 At that time Abijah son of Jeroboam became ill,
Ved den Tid blev Jeroboams Søn Abija syg.
2 and Jeroboam said to his wife, “Now get up, disguise yourself so they will not recognize you as my wife, and go to Shiloh. For Ahijah the prophet is there; it was he who spoke about my kingship over this people.
Da sagde Jeroboam til sin Hustru: »Tag og forklæd dig, saa man ikke kan kende, at du er Jeroboams Hustru, og begiv dig til Silo, thi der bor Profeten Ahija, som kundgjorde mig, at jeg skulde blive Konge over dette Folk;
3 Take with you ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will become of the boy.”
tag ti Brød, noget Bagværk og en Krukke Honning med og henvend dig til ham, saa vil han sige dig, hvorledes det skal gaa Drengen!«
4 Jeroboam’s wife did as instructed; she arose and went to Shiloh and arrived at Ahijah’s house. Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were dim because of his age.
Jeroboams Hustru gjorde nu saaledes; hun begav sig til Silo og gik ind i Ahijas Hus. Ahija kunde ikke se, da hans Øjne var sløve af Alderdom;
5 But the LORD had said to Ahijah, “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to ask you about her son, for he is ill. You are to say such and such to her, because when she arrives, she will be disguised.”
men HERREN havde sagt til Ahija: »Se, Jeroboams Hustru kommer til dig for at høre sig for hos dig angaaende sin Søn, da han er syg; det og det skal du svare hende; men naar hun kommer, er hun forklædt.«
6 So when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet entering the door, he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam! Why are you disguised? For I have been sent to you with bad news.
Da nu Ahija hørte Lyden af hendes Trin, som hun gik ind ad Døren, sagde han: »Kom kun ind, Jeroboams Hustru! Hvorfor er du forklædt? Mig er det paalagt at bringe dig en tung Tidende.
7 Go, tell Jeroboam that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I raised you up from among the people and appointed you ruler over My people Israel.
Gaa hen og sig til Jeroboam: Saa siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Jeg ophøjede dig af Folkets Midte og gjorde dig til Fyrste over mit Folk Israel
8 I tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you. But you were not like My servant David, who kept My commandments and followed Me with all his heart, doing only what was right in My eyes.
og rev Riget fra Davids Hus og gav dig det; dog har du ikke været som min Tjener David, der holdt mine Bud og fulgte mig af hele sit Hjerte og kun gjorde, hvad der er ret i mine Øjne,
9 You have done more evil than all who came before you. You have proceeded to make for yourself other gods and molten images to provoke Me, and you have flung Me behind your back.
men du har handlet værre end alle dine Forgængere; du gik hen og krænkede mig og gjorde dig andre Guder og støbte Billeder, men mig kastede du bag din Ryg;
10 Because of all this, behold, I am bringing disaster on the house of Jeroboam: I will cut off from Jeroboam every male, both slave and free, in Israel; I will burn up the house of Jeroboam as one burns up dung until it is gone!
se, derfor vil jeg bringe Ulykke over Jeroboams Hus og udrydde hvert mandligt Væsen, hver og en af Jeroboams Slægt i Israel, og jeg vil feje Jeroboams Hus bort, som man fejer Skarn bort, til der ikke er Spor tilbage!
11 Anyone belonging to Jeroboam who dies in the city will be eaten by dogs, and anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the air.’
Den af Jeroboams Slægt, som dør i Byen, skal Hundene æde, og den, som dør paa Marken, skal Himmelens Fugle æde, thi det er HERREN, der har talet!
12 As for you, get up and go home. When your feet enter the city, the child will die.
Men gaa nu hjem! Naar din Fod betræder Byen, skal Barnet dø;
13 All Israel will mourn for him and bury him. For this is the only one belonging to Jeroboam who will receive a proper burial, because only in him has the LORD, the God of Israel, found any good in the house of Jeroboam.
og hele Israel skal holde Dødeklage over ham og jorde ham, thi han er den eneste af Jeroboams Slægt, der skal komme i en Grav; thi hos ham fandtes dog noget, der vandt HERREN Israels Guds Behag inden for Jeroboams Slægt.
14 Moreover, the LORD will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who will cut off the house of Jeroboam. This is the day—yes, even today!
Men HERREN vil oprejse sig en Konge over Israel, der skal udrydde Jeroboams Hus paa den Dag.
15 For the LORD will strike Israel as a reed is shaken in the water. He will uproot Israel from this good land that He gave their fathers, and He will scatter them beyond the Euphrates, because they have made their Asherah poles, provoking the LORD to anger.
Men ogsaa siden vil HERREN slaa Israel, saa at de svajer hid og did som Sivet i Vandet, og rykke Israel op fra dette herlige Land, som han gav deres Fædre, og sprede dem hinsides Floden, fordi de har lavet sig Asjerastøtter og krænket HERREN;
16 So He will give Israel over on account of the sins Jeroboam has committed and has caused Israel to commit.”
og han vil give Israel til Pris for de Synders Skyld, Jeroboam har begaaet og forledt Israel til.«
17 Then Jeroboam’s wife got up and departed for Tirzah, and as soon as she stepped over the threshold of the house, the boy died.
Da gav Jeroboams Hustru sig paa Vej og kom til Tirza; og da hun betraadte Husets Tærskel, døde Drengen;
18 And they buried him, and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word that the LORD had spoken through His servant Ahijah the prophet.
og man jordede ham, og hele Israel holdt Dødeklage over ham efter det Ord, HERREN havde talet ved sin Tjener, Profeten Ahija.
19 As for the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he waged war and how he reigned, they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jeroboam, hvorledes han førte Krig, og hvorledes han herskede staar jo optegnet i Israels Kongers Krønike.
20 And the length of Jeroboam’s reign was twenty-two years, and he rested with his fathers, and his son Nadab reigned in his place.
Jeroboams Regeringstid udgjorde to og tyve Aar. Saa lagde han sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og hans Søn Nadab blev Konge i hans Sted.
21 Meanwhile, Rehoboam son of Solomon reigned in Judah. 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.
Rehabeam, Salomos Søn, blev Konge i Juda. 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.
22 And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and by the sins they committed they provoked Him to jealous anger more than all their fathers had done.
Og Juda gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, og med de Synder, de begik, vakte de hans Nidkærhed, mere end deres Fædre havde gjort.
23 They also built for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
Ogsaa de byggede sig Offerhøje, Stenstøtter og Asjerastøtter paa alle høje Steder og under alle grønne Træer;
24 There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land. They imitated all the abominations of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
ja, der var endog Mandsskøger i Landet. De øvede alle de Vederstyggeligheder, som var begaaet af de Folk, HERREN havde drevet bort foran Israeliterne.
25 In the fifth year of Rehoboam’s reign, Shishak king of Egypt came up and attacked Jerusalem.
Men i Kong Rehabeams femte Regeringsaar drog Ægypterkongen Sjisjak op imod Jerusalem
26 He seized the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the royal palace. He took everything, including all the gold shields that Solomon had made.
og tog Skattene i HERRENS Hus og i Kongens Palads; alt tog han, ogsaa de Guldskjolde, Salomo havde ladet lave.
27 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.
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;
28 And whenever the king entered the house of the LORD, the guards would bear the shields, and later they would return them to the guardroom.
og hver Gang Kongen begav sig til HERRENS Hus, hentede Livvagten dem, og bagefter bragte de dem tilbage til Vagtstuen.
29 As for the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, along with all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Rehabeam, alt, hvad han gjorde, staar jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.
30 There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam throughout their days.
Rehabeam og Jeroboam laa i Krig med hinanden hele Tiden.
31 And Rehoboam rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David; his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite. And his son Abijam reigned in his place.
Saa lagde Rehabeam sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet hos sine Fædre i Davidsbyen. Hans Moder var en ammonitisk Kvinde ved Navn Na'ama. Og hans Søn Abija blev Konge i hans Sted.
