1 Kings 11
1 Now a number of strange women were loved by Solomon, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites:
Kong Salomo elskede foruden Faraos Datter mange fremmede Kvinder, moabitiske, ammonitiske, edomitiske, zidoniske og hetitiske Kvinder,
2 The nations of which the Lord had said to the children of Israel, You are not to take wives from them and they are not to take wives from you; or they will certainly make you go after their gods: to these Solomon was united 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, daughters of kings, and three hundred other wives; and through his wives his heart was turned away.
Han havde 700 fyrstelige Hustruer og 300 Medhustruer, og hans Hustruer drog hans Hjerte bort fra Herren.
4 For it came about that when Solomon was old, his heart was turned away to other gods by his wives; and his heart was no longer true to the Lord his God as the heart of 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 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Milcom, the disgusting god of the Ammonites.
Salomo holdt sig da til Astarte, Zidoniernes Gudinde, og til Milkom, Ammoniternes væmmelige Gud.
6 And Solomon did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not walking in the Lord's ways with all his heart as David his father did.
Saaledes gjorde Salomo, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, og viste ikke HERREN fuld Lydighed som hans Fader David.
7 Then Solomon put up a high place for Chemosh, the disgusting god of Moab, in the mountain before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the disgusting god worshipped by the children of Ammon.
Ved den Tid byggede Salomo en Offerhøj for Kemosj, Moabs væmmelige Gud, paa Bjerget østen for Jerusalem, og for Milkom, Ammoniternes væmmelige Gud;
8 And so he did for all his strange wives, who made offerings with burning of perfumes to their gods.
og samme Hensyn viste han alle sine fremmede Hustruer, som tændte Offerild for deres Guder og ofrede til dem.
9 And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had twice come to him in a vision;
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 And had given him orders about this very thing, that he was not to go after other gods; but he did not keep the orders of the Lord.
og udtrykkelig havde paabudt ham ikke at holde sig til fremmede Guder; men han holdt ikke, hvad HERREN havde paabudt ham.
11 So the Lord said to Solomon, Because you have done this, and have not kept my agreement and my laws, which I gave you, I will take the kingdom away from you by force and will 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 I will not do it in your life-time, because of your father David, but I will take it from 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 Still I will not take all the kingdom from him; but I will give one tribe to your son, because of my servant David, and because of Jerusalem, the town of my selection.
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 So the Lord sent Hadad the Edomite to make trouble for Solomon: he was of the king's seed in Edom.
HERREN gav Salomo en Modstander i Edomiten Hadad af Kongeslægten i Edom.
15 And when David had sent destruction on Edom, and Joab, the captain of the army, had gone to put the dead into the earth, and had put to death 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 (For Joab and all Israel were there six months till every male in Edom had been cut off; )
Joab og hele Israel blev der i seks Maaneder, til han havde udryddet alle af Mandkøn i Edom —
17 Hadad, being still a young boy, went in flight to Egypt, with certain Edomites, 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 And they went on from Midian and came to Paran; and, taking men from Paran with them, they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who gave him a house and gave orders for his food and gave him land.
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 Now Hadad was very pleasing to Pharaoh, so that he gave him the sister of his wife, Tahpenes the queen, for his 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 had a son by him, Genubath, whom Tahpenes took care of in Pharaoh's house; and Genubath was living in Pharaoh's house among Pharaoh's sons.
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 Now when Hadad had news in Egypt that David had been put to rest with his fathers, and that Joab, the captain of the army, was dead, he said to Pharaoh, Send me back to my 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 said to him, What have you been short of while you have been with me, that you are desiring to go back to your country? And he said, Nothing; but even so, send me back.
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 sent another trouble-maker, Rezon, the son of Eliada, who had gone in flight from his lord, 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 He got some men together and made himself captain of a band of outlaws; and went to Damascus and became king there.
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 He was a trouble to Israel all through the days of Solomon. And this is the damage Hadad did: he was cruel to Israel while he was ruler over Edom.
Han var Israels Modstander, saa længe Salomo levede.
26 And there was Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was Zeruah, a widow; and his hand was lifted up 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 The way in which his hand came to be lifted up against the king was this: Solomon was building the Millo and making good the damaged parts of the town of his father David;
Hermed gik det saaledes til Salomo byggede paa Millo; han lukkede Hullet i sin Fader Davids By.
28 And Jeroboam was an able and responsible man; and Solomon saw that he was a good worker and made him overseer of all the work given to the sons 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 Now at that time, when Jeroboam was going out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite came across him on the road; now Ahijah had put on a new robe; and the two of them were by themselves in the open country.
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 his new robe in his hands, parting it violently into twelve.
Da greb Ahija fat i den ny Kappe, han havde paa, rev den i tolv Stykker
31 And he said to Jeroboam, Take ten of the parts, for this is what the Lord has said: See, I will take the kingdom away from Solomon by force, and will give ten tribes to you;
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 be his, because of my servant David, and because of Jerusalem, the town which, out of all the tribes of Israel, I have made mine, )
Den ene Stamme skal han beholde for min Tjener Davids Skyld og for Jerusalems Skyld, den By, jeg udvalgte af alle Israels Stammer;
33 Because they are turned away from me to the worship of Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Chemosh, the god of Moab, and Milcom, the god of the Ammonites; they have not been walking in my ways or doing what is right in my eyes or keeping my laws and my decisions as his 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 But I will not take the kingdom from him; I will let him be king all the days of his life, because of David my servant, in whom I took delight because he kept my orders and my laws.
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 the kingdom from his son, and give it to you.
Men jeg vil tage Riget fra hans Søn og give dig det, de ti Stammer;
36 And one tribe I will give to his son, so that David my servant may have a light for ever burning before me in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine to put my name there.
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 And you I will take, and you will be king over Israel, ruling over whatever is the desire of your soul.
Men dig vil jeg tage og sætte til Hersker over alt, hvad du attraar, og du skal være Konge over Israel.
38 And if you give attention to the orders I give you, walking in my ways and doing what is right in my eyes and keeping my laws and my orders as David my servant did; then I will be with you, building up for you a safe house, as I did 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 (So that I may send trouble for this on the seed of David, but not for ever.)
men jeg ydmyger Davids Slægt for den Sags Skyld, dog ikke for stedse!«
40 And Solomon was looking for a chance to put Jeroboam to death; but he went in flight to Egypt, to Shishak, king of Egypt, and was in Egypt till 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 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all he did, and his wisdom, are they not recorded 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 And the time Solomon was king in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.
Den Tid, Salomo herskede i Jerusalem over hele Israel, udgjorde fyrretyve Aar.
43 And Solomon went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father: and Solomon went to rest with his fathers and Rehoboam his son became king 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.
