2 Chronicles 10
1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
Og Roboam drog til Sikem; thi al Israel var kommen til Sikem for at gøre ham til Konge.
2 And it came to pass when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it (now he was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon) that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
Og det skete, der Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, hørte det — thi han var i Ægypten, hvorhen han var flygtet for Kong Salomos Ansigt — da kom Jeroboam tilbage fra Ægypten.
3 And they sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam saying,
Thi de sendte hen og kaldte ham; og Jeroboam kom og al Israel, og de talte til Roboam, sigende:
4 Thy father made our yoke grievous; and now lighten the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
Din Fader gjorde vort Aag haardt; men let nu din Faders haarde Tjeneste og hans svare Aag, som han lagde paa os, saa ville vi tjene dig.
5 And he said to them, Come again to me after three days. And the people departed.
Og han sagde til dem: Om tre Dage saa kommer til mig igen; og Folket gik.
6 And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, How do ye advise to return answer to this people?
Og Kong Roboam raadførte sig med de ældste, som havde staaet for hans Fader Salomos Ansigt, der han var levende, og sagde: Hvorledes raade I at give dette Folk Svar tilbage?
7 And they spoke to him saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.
Og de talte til ham, sigende: Vil du være dette Folk god og behage dem og tale gode Ord til dem, da blive de dine Tjenere alle Dage!
8 But he forsook the advice of the old men which they had given him, and consulted with the young men, who had grown up with him, that stood before him.
Men han forlod de ældstes Raad, som de raadede ham, og raadførte sig med de unge, som vare opvoksede med ham, de, som stode for hans Ansigt.
9 And he said to them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me saying, Lighten the yoke which thy father put upon us?
Og han sagde til dem: Hvad raade I, at vi skulle give dette Folk for Svar tilbage, som talte til mig, sigende: Gør du os det Aag lettere, som din Fader lagde paa os?
10 And the young men that had grown up with him spoke to him saying, Thus shalt thou say to the people who have spoken to thee saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and lighten thou it for us, — thus shalt thou say to them: My little [finger] is thicker than my father's loins;
Og de unge, som vare opvoksede med ham, talte til ham, sigende: Saa skal du sige til det Folk, som talte til dig og sagde: Din Fader gjorde vort Aag svart, men gør du os det lettere, — saa skal du sige til dem: Min Lillefinger skal være tykkere end min Faders Lænder.
11 and whereas my father laid a heavy yoke upon you, I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions.
Nu da, min Fader lagde eder et svart Aag paa, men jeg vil gøre eders Aag svarere; min Fader tugtede eder med Svøber, men jeg vil tugte eder med Skorpioner.
12 And Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed saying, Come again to me on the third day.
Da kom Jeroboam og alt Folket til Roboam paa den tredje Dag, som Kongen havde talt og sagt: Kommer igen til mig paa den tredje Dag!
13 And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the advice of the old men,
Og Kongen svarede dem haardt, og Kong Roboam forlod de ældstes Raad.
14 and spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it; my father chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions.
Og han talte til dem efter de unges Raad og sagde: Min Fader gjorde eders Aag svart, men jeg vil gøre det svarere; min Fader tugtede eder med Svøber, men jeg vil tugte eder med Skorpioner.
15 So the king hearkened not to the people; for it was brought about by God, that Jehovah might give effect to his word, which he spoke through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
Og Kongen hørte ikke Folket; thi Aarsagen var fra Gud, for at Herren kunde stadfæste sit Ord, som han havde talt ved Siloniten Ahia til Jeroboam, Nebats Søn.
16 And all Israel saw that the king hearkened not to them; and the people answered the king saying, What portion have we in David? and [we have] no inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel. Now see to thine own house, David! And all Israel went to their tents.
Der al Israel saa, at Kongen ikke vilde høre dem, da gav Folket Kongen et Svar tilbage og sagde: Hvad Del have vi i David? og: Vi have ingen Lod i Isajs Søn; Israel! drag til dine Telte; se nu til dit Hus, o David! Saa gik al Israel til sine Telte, hver især.
17 But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
Dog Israels Børn, som boede i Judas Stæder, over dem regerede Roboam.
18 And king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the levy; but the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. And king Rehoboam hastened to mount his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
Da sendte Kong Roboam Hadoram, som var Rentemester, men Israels Børn stenede ham med Stene, saa at han døde; men Kong Roboam brugte al sin Styrke til at komme op i Vognen for at fly til Jerusalem.
19 And Israel rebelled against the house of David, unto this day.
Saa faldt Israel af fra Davids Hus indtil denne Dag.
