1 Kings 14
1 In that time Abijah, the son of Jeroboam, became ill.
På den tid blev Abia, Jeroboams sønn, syk.
2 And Jeroboam said to his wife: “Rise up, and change clothing, so that you will not be recognized to be the wife of Jeroboam. And go to Shiloh, where the prophet Ahijah is, who said to me that I should reign 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 Also, take in your hand ten loaves, and dried bread, and a container of honey, and go to him. For he will reveal to you what will happen to this boy.”
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 The wife of Jeroboam did just as he had said. And rising up, she went away to Shiloh. And she arrived at the house of Ahijah. But he was unable to see, because his eyes had dimmed due to old age.
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 Then the Lord said to Ahijah: “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam enters, so that she may consult you over her son, who is ill. You shall say one thing and another to her.” Therefore, as she was entering, not presenting herself to be who she was,
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 Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, entering through the door. And he said: “Enter, O wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be someone you are not? But I have been sent to you with harsh 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, and tell Jeroboam: ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Although I exalted you from the midst of the people, and I granted to you to be the leader 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 I tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and I gave it to you, yet you have not been like David, my servant, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with his whole heart, doing what was pleasing in my sight.
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 Instead, you have worked evil beyond all those who were before you. And you have made for yourself strange gods and molten images, so that you provoke me to anger. And you have cast me behind your back.
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 For this reason, behold, I will lead evils over the house of Jeroboam, and I will strike down from Jeroboam that which urinates against a wall, and that which is lame, and that which is last in Israel. And I will cleanse that which remains of the house of Jeroboam, just as dung is usually cleaned away, until there is purity.
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 who will have died of Jeroboam in the city, the dogs will devour them. And those who will have died in the field, the birds of the heavens will devour them. For the Lord has spoken.’
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 Therefore, you must rise up, and go to your house. And in the city, at the very entrance of your feet, the boy will die.
Stå nu du op og gå hjem! Så snart dine føtter treder inn i byen, skal barnet dø.
13 And all of Israel will mourn him, and will bury him. For he alone of Jeroboam shall be brought into a sepulcher. For concerning him, there has been found a good word from the Lord, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
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 But the Lord has appointed for himself a king over Israel, who will strike down the house of Jeroboam, in this day and in this time.
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 the Lord God shall strike Israel, just as a reed is usually shaken in the water. And he will uproot Israel from this good land, which he gave to their fathers. And he will winnow them beyond the river. For they have made for themselves sacred groves, so that they have provoked the Lord.
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 the Lord will hand over Israel, because of the sins of Jeroboam, who has sinned and caused Israel to sin.”
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 And so, the wife of Jeroboam rose up, and she went away. And she arrived at Tirzah. And as she was entering the threshold of the house, the boy died.
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 they buried him, and all of Israel mourned for him, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of 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 words of Jeroboam, the manner in which he fought, and the manner in which he reigned, behold, these were written in the book of the words of the days 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 the days during which Jeroboam reigned were twenty-two years. And he slept with his fathers. And Nadab, his son, reigned 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 Now Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that the Lord chose, out of all the tribes of Israel, so that he might place his name there. And the name of his mother was Naamah, an Ammonite.
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 sight of the Lord, and they provoked him beyond all that their fathers had done, by their sins that they committed.
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, too, built for themselves altars, and statues, and sacred groves, upon every high hill and under every leafy tree.
Også de bygget sig offerhauger og gjorde sig støtter og Astarte-billeder på hver høi bakke og under hvert grønt tre;
24 Moreover, the effeminate were in the land, and they committed all the abominations of the peoples that the Lord had destroyed before the face of the sons 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 Then, in the fifth year of the reign of Rehoboam, Shishak, the king of Egypt, ascended against Jerusalem.
Da hendte det i kong Rehabeams femte år at Egyptens konge Sisak drog op mot Jerusalem.
26 And he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the royal treasures, and he plundered everything, including the shields of gold that 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 In place of these, king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and he delivered them into the hand of the commanders of the shield bearers, and of those who were keeping the night watch before the gate 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 when the king entered into the house of the Lord, these were carried by those who held the office to go before him. And afterward, they carried them back to the armory of the shield bearers.
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 words of Rehoboam, and all that he did, behold, these were written in the book of the words of the days 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, during all the days.
Mellem Rehabeam og Jeroboam var det krig hele tiden.
31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David. And his mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonite. And his son Abijam reigned 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.
