1 Kings 14
1 At that time Abijah, the son of Jeroboam, became ill.
På den tid blev Abia, Jeroboams sønn, syk.
2 And Jeroboam said to his wife, Now come, put on different clothing so that you may not seem to be the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh; see, Ahijah is there, the prophet who said I would be king over this people.
Da sa Jeroboam til sin hustru: Stå op og forklæ dig, så ingen kan se at du er Jeroboams hustru, og gå så til Silo! Der bor profeten Akia, han som sa om mig at jeg skulde bli konge over dette folk.
3 And take with you ten cakes of bread and dry cakes and a pot of honey, and go to him: he will give you word of what is to become of the child.
Ta med dig ti brød og nogen kaker og en krukke med honning og gå inn til ham! Han vil si dig hvorledes det skal gå med gutten.
4 So Jeroboam's wife did so, and got up and went to Shiloh and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah was unable to see, because he was very old.
Og Jeroboams hustru gjorde så; hun stod op og gikk til Silo og kom til Akias hus. Men Akia kunde ikke se; for hans øine var stive av alderdom.
5 And the Lord had said to Ahijah, The wife of Jeroboam is coming to get news from you about her son, who is ill; give her such and such an answer; for she will make herself seem to be another woman.
Men Herren hadde sagt til Akia: Nu kommer Jeroboams hustru for å høre hvad du vil si om hennes sønn, for han er syk; så og så skal du si til henne; men når hun kommer, vil hun late som hun er fremmed.
6 Then Ahijah, hearing the sound of her footsteps coming in at the door, said, Come in, O wife of Jeroboam; why do you make yourself seem like another? for I am sent to you with bitter news.
Da nu Akia hørte lyden av hennes fottrin i døren, sa han: Kom inn, Jeroboams hustru! Hvorfor later du som du er fremmed? Det er pålagt mig å forkynne dig et hårdt budskap.
7 Go, say to Jeroboam, These are the words of the Lord, the God of Israel: Though I took you from among the people, lifting you up to be a ruler over my people Israel,
Gå og si til Jeroboam: Så sier Herren, Israels Gud: Jeg har ophøiet dig midt iblandt folket og satt dig til fyrste over mitt folk Israel
8 And took the kingdom away by force from the seed of David and gave it to you, you have not been like my servant David, who kept my orders, and was true to me with all his heart, doing only what was right in my eyes.
og revet riket fra Davids hus og gitt dig det, men du har ikke vært som min tjener David, som holdt mine bud og fulgte mig av alt sitt hjerte, så han ikke gjorde annet enn det som rett var i mine øine;
9 But you have done evil more than any before you, and have made for yourself other gods, and images of metal, moving me to wrath, and turning your back on me.
men du har båret dig verre at enn alle de som har vært før dig, og er gått avsted og har gjort dig andre guder og støpte billeder og således vakt min harme, og du har kastet mig bak din rygg:
10 So I will send evil on the line of Jeroboam, cutting off from his family every male child, those who are shut up and those who go free in Israel; the family of Jeroboam will be brushed away like a man brushing away waste till it is all gone.
Derfor vil jeg føre ulykke over Jeroboams hus og utrydde av Jeroboams ætt alle menn, både umyndige og myndige i Israel, og jeg vil feie efter Jeroboams hus, som en feier skarnet bort, inntil det er aldeles ute med ham.
11 Those of the family of Jeroboam who come to death in the town, will become food for the dogs; and those on whom death comes in the open country, will be food for the birds of the air; for the Lord has said it.
Den av Jeroboams ætt som dør i byen, skal hundene fortære, og den som dør på marken, skal himmelens fugler fortære; for så har Herren talt.
12 Up, then! go back to your house; and in the hour when your feet go into the town, the death of the child will take place.
Stå nu du op og gå hjem! Så snart dine føtter treder inn i byen, skal barnet dø.
13 And all Israel will put his body to rest, weeping over him, because he only of the family of Jeroboam will be put into his resting-place in the earth; for of all the family of Jeroboam, in him only has the Lord, the God of Israel, seen some good.
Og hele Israel skal holde sørgehøitid over ham, og de skal begrave ham; han er den eneste av Jeroboams hus som skal komme i grav, fordi han var den eneste i Jeroboams hus hos hvem det fantes noget som Herren, Israels Gud, hadde velbehag i.
14 And the Lord will put up a king over Israel who will send destruction on the family of Jeroboam in that day;
Men Herren skal opreise sig en konge over Israel som skal utrydde Jeroboams hus den samme dag. Dog, hvad sier jeg? Allerede nu er det skjedd.
15 And even now the hand of the Lord has come down on Israel, shaking it like a river-grass in the water; and, uprooting Israel from this good land, which he gave to their fathers, he will send them this way and that on the other side of the River; because they have made for themselves images, moving the Lord to wrath.
Og Herren skal slå Israel, så det blir som sivet som vugger hit og dit i vannet, og han skal rykke Israel op av dette gode land som han gav deres fedre, og strø dem omkring hinsides elven, fordi de har gjort sig Astarte-billeder og vakt Herrens harme.
16 And he will give Israel up because of the sins which Jeroboam has done and made Israel do.
Og han skal gi Israel i fiendevold for de synders skyld som Jeroboam har gjort, og som han har fått Israel til å gjøre.
17 Then Jeroboam's wife got up and went away and came to Tirzah; and when she came to the doorway of the house, death came to the child.
Da stod Jeroboams hustru op og gikk sin vei og kom til Tirsa; i det samme hun trådte på husets dørtreskel, døde gutten.
18 And all Israel put his body to rest, weeping over him, as the Lord had said by his servant Ahijah the prophet.
Og de begravde ham, og hele Israel holdt sørgehøitid over ham efter det ord som Herren hadde talt ved sin tjener, profeten Akia.
19 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he made war and how he became king, are recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel.
Hvad som ellers er å fortelle om Jeroboam, om hans kriger og om hans regjering, det er opskrevet i Israels kongers krønike.
20 And Jeroboam was king for twenty-two years, and was put to rest with his fathers, and Nadab his son became king in his place.
Den tid Jeroboam var konge, var to og tyve år; så la han sig til hvile hos sine fedre, og hans sønn Nadab blev konge i hans sted.
21 And Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, was king in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he was king for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the town which the Lord had made his out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there; his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman.
Rehabeam, Salomos sønn, var konge i Juda; han var en og firti år gammel da han blev konge, og han regjerte sytten år i Jerusalem, den stad som Herren hadde utvalgt blandt alle Israels stammer for å la sitt navn bo der; hans mor hette Na'ama og var fra Ammon.
22 And Judah did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and made him more angry than their fathers had done by their sins.
Og Juda gjorde hvad ondt var i Herrens øine, og med de synder de gjorde, egget de ham til nidkjærhet mere enn deres fedre hadde gjort.
23 For they made high places and upright stones and wood pillars on every high hill and under every green tree;
Også de bygget sig offerhauger og gjorde sig støtter og Astarte-billeder på hver høi bakke og under hvert grønt tre;
24 And more than this, there were those in the land who were used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods, doing the same disgusting crimes as the nations which the Lord had sent out before the children of Israel.
der var endog tempel-bolere i landet; de tok efter de vederstyggelige skikker hos alle de hedningefolk som Herren hadde drevet bort for Israels barn.
25 Now in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem;
Da hendte det i kong Rehabeams femte år at Egyptens konge Sisak drog op mot Jerusalem.
26 And took away all the stored wealth from the house of the Lord, and from the king's house, and all the gold body-covers which Solomon had made.
Og han tok skattene i Herrens hus og skattene i kongens hus; alt sammen tok han. Han tok også alle de gullskjold som Salomo hadde latt gjøre.
27 So in their place King Rehoboam had other body-covers made of brass, and gave them into the care of the captains of the armed men who were stationed at the door of the king's house.
Istedenfor dem lot kong Rehabeam gjøre kobberskjold og betrodde dem til høvedsmennene for drabantene som voktet inngangen til kongens hus;
28 And whenever the king went into the house of the Lord, the armed men went with him taking the body-covers, and then took them back to their room.
og så ofte kongen gikk inn i Herrens hus, bar drabantene dem og tok dem så med tilbake til vaktstuen.
29 Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
Hvad som ellers er å fortelle om Rehabeam og om alt det han gjorde, er opskrevet i Judas kongers krønike.
30 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.
Mellem Rehabeam og Jeroboam var det krig hele tiden.
31 And Rehoboam went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman. And Abijam his son became king in his place.
Og Rehabeam la sig til hvile hos sine fedre og blev begravet hos sine fedre i Davids stad. Hans mor hette Na'ama og var fra Ammon. Hans sønn Abiam blev konge i hans sted.
