1 Kings 11
1 And king Solomon loved many strange women besides the daughter of Pharao, and women of Moab, and of Ammon, and of Edom, and of Sidon, and of the Hethites:
Kong Salomo elskede foruden Faraos Datter mange fremmede Kvinder, moabitiske, ammonitiske, edomitiske, zidoniske og hetitiske Kvinder,
2 Of the nations concerning which the Lord said to the children of Israel: You shall not go in unto them, neither shall any of them come in to yours: for they will most certainly turn away your heart to follow their gods. And to these was Solomon joined with a most ardent love.
Kvinder fra de Folkeslag, HERREN havde sagt om til Israeliterne: "I må 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 And he had seven hundred wives as queens, and three hundred concubines: and the women turned away his heart.
Han havde 700 fyrsfelige Hustruer og 300 Medhustruer, og hans Hustruer drog hans Hjerte bort fra Herren.
4 And when he was now old, his heart was turned away by women to follow strange gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.
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 But Solomon worshipped Astarthe the goddess of the Sidonians, and Moloch the idol of the ammonites.
Salomo holdt sig da til Astarte, Zidoniernes Gudinde, og til Milkom, Ammoniternes væmmelige Gud.
6 And Solomon did that which was net pleasing before the Lord, and did not fully follow the Lord, as David his father.
Således gjorde Salomo, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, og viste ikke HERREN fuld Lydighed som hans Fader David.
7 Then Solomon built a temple for Chamos the idol of Moab, on the hill that is over against Jerusalem, and for Moloch the idol of the children of Ammon.
Ved den Tid byggede Salomo en Offerhøj for Kemosj, Moabs væmmelige Gud, på Bjerget østen for Jerusalem, og for Milkom, Ammoniternes væmmelige Gud;
8 And he did in this manner for all his wives that were strangers, who burnt incense, and offered sacrifice 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 mind was turned away from the Lord the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
Da vrededes HERREN på 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 commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not follow strange gods: but he kept not the things which the Lord commanded him.
og udtrykkelig havde påbudt ham ikke at holde sig til fremmede Guder; men han holdt ikke, hvad HERREN havde påbudt ham.
11 The Lord therefore said to Solomon: Because thou hast done this, and hast not kept my covenant, and my precepts, which I have commanded thee, I will divide and rend thy kingdom, and will give it to thy servant.
Derfor sagde HERREN til Salomo: "Fordi det står således til med dig, og fordi du ikke har holdt min Pagt og mine Anordninger, som jeg pålagde dig, vil jeg visselig rive Riget fra dig og give din Træl det.
12 Nevertheless in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father’s sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.
Dog vil jeg ikke gøre det i din Levetid for din Fader Davids Skyld men jeg vil rive det ud af din Søns Hånd.
13 Neither will I take away the whole kingdom, but I will give one tribe to thy son for the sake of David my servant, and Jerusalem which I have chosen.
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 And the Lord raised up an adversary to Solomon, Adad the Edomite of the king’s seed, in Edom.
HERREN gav Salomo en Modstander i Edomiten Hadad af Kongeslægten i Edom.
15 For when David was in Edom, and Joab the general of the army was gone up to bury them that were slain, and had killed 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 remained there six months with all Israel, till he had slain every male in Edom, )
Joab og hele Israel blev der i seks Måneder, til han havde udryddet alle af Mandkøn i Edom -
17 Then Adad fled, he and certain Edomites, of his father’s servants with him, to go into Egypt: and Adad was then a little boy.
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 arose out of Madian, and came into Pharan, and they took men with them from Pharan, and went into Egypt to Pharao the king of Egypt: who gave him a house, and appointed him victuals, and assigned him land.
De brød op fra Midjan og nåede 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 And Adad found great favour before Pharao, insomuch that he gave him to wife, the own sister of his wife Taphnes the queen.
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 Taphnes bore him his son Genubath, and Taphnes brought him up in the house of Pharao: and Genubath dwelt with Pharao among his children.
Takpeness 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 And when Adad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the general of the army was dead, he said to Pharao: Let me depart, that I may go to my own 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 And Pharao said to him: Why, what is wanting to thee with me, that thou seekest to go to thy own country? But he answered: Nothing: yet I beseech thee to let me go.
Farao sagde til ham: "Hvad savner du her hos mig, siden du ønsker at drage til dit Land?" Men han svarede: "Å jo, lad mig nu rejse!" Så vendte Hadad tilbage til sit Land. Det var den ulykke, Hadad voldte: Han bragte Trængsel over Israel og blev Konge over Edom. -
23 God also raised up against him an adversary, Razon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his master Adarezer the king of Soba:
Fremdeles gav Gud ham en Modstander i Rezon, Eljadas Søn, der var flygtet fra sin Herre, Kong Hadadezer af Zoba.
24 And he gathered men against him, and he became a captain of robbers, when David slew them of Soba: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt there, and they made him king in Damascus.
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 And he was an adversary to Israel, all the days of Solomon: and this is the evil of Adad, and his hatred against Israel, and he reigned in Syria.
Han var Israels Modstander, så længe Salomo levede.
26 Jeroboam also the son of Nabat an Ephrathite of Sareda, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was named Sarua, a widow woman, lifted up his hand 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 Hånd mod Kongen.
27 And this is the cause of his rebellion against him, for Solomon built Mello, and filled up the breach of the city of David his father.
Hermed gik det således til Salomo byggede på Millo; han lukkede Hullet i sin Fader Davids By.
28 And Jeroboam was a valiant and mighty man: and Solomon seeing him a young man ingenious and industrious, made him chief over the tributes of all the house of Joseph.
Nu var Jeroboam et dygtigt Menneske, og da Salomo så, hvorledes den unge Mand udførte Arbejdet, gav han ham Opsyn med hele Arbejdsstyrken af Josefs Hus.
29 So it came to paste at that time, that Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, and the prophet Ahias the Silonite, clad with a new garment, found him in the way: and they two were alone in the held.
På den Tid hændte det sig, engang Jeroboam var rejst fra Jerusalem, at Profeten Ahija fra Silo traf ham på Vejen. Ahija var iført en ny Kappe, og de to var ene på Marken.
30 And Ahias taking his new garment, wherewith he was clad, divided it into twelve parts:
Da greb Ahija fat i den ny Kappe, han havde på, rev den i tolv Stykker
31 And he said to Jeroboam: Take to thee ten pieces: for thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Behold I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give thee ten tribes.
og sagde til Jeroboam: "Tag dig de ti Stykker, thi så siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Se, jeg river Riget ud af Salomos Hånd og giver dig de ti Stammer.
32 But one tribe shall remain to him for the sake of my servant David, and Jerusalem the city, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:
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 he hath forsaken me, and hath adored Astarthe the goddess of the Sidonians, and Chamos the god of Moab, and Moloch the god of the children of Ammon: and hath not walked in my ways, to do justice before me, and to keep my precepts, and judgments as did David his father.
det vil jeg gøre, fordi han har forladt mig og tilbedt Astarte, Zidoniernes Gudinde, Kemosj, Moabs Gud, og Milkom, Ammoniternes Gud, og ikke vandret på mine Veje og gjort, hvad der er ret i mine Øjne, eller holdt mine Anordninger og Lovbud som hans Fader David.
34 Yet I will not take away all the kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him prince all the days of his life, for David my servant’s sake, whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my precepts.
Fra ham vil jeg dog ikke tage Riget, men lade ham være Fyrste, så længe han lever, for min Tjener Davids Skyld, som jeg udvalgte, og som holdt mine Bud og Anordninger.
35 But I will take away the kingdom out of his son’s hand and will give thee ten tribes:
Men jeg vil tage Riget fra hans Søn og give dig det, de ti Stammer;
36 And to his son I will give one tribe, that there may remain a lamp for my servant David before me always in Jerusalem the city which I have chosen, that my name might be there.
og hans Søn vil jeg give en Stamme, for at min Tjener David altid kan have en Lampe for mit Åsyn i Jerusalem, den By, jeg udvalgte for der at stedfæste mit Navn.
37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign over all that thy soul desireth, and thou shalt be king over Israel.
Men dig vil jeg tage og sætte til Hersker over alt, hvad du attrår, og du skal være Konge over Israel.
38 If then thou wilt hearken to all that I shall command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do what is right before me, keeping my commandments and my precepts, as David my servant did: I will be with thee, and will build thee up a faithful house, as I built a house for David, and I will deliver Israel to thee:
Dersom du da er lydig i alt hvad jeg byder dig, vandrer på mine Veje og gør, hvad der er ret i mine Øjne, så du holder mine Anordnioger 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 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but yet not for ever.
men jeg ydmyger Davids Slægt for den Sags Skyld, dog ikke for stedse!"
40 Solomon therefore sought to kill Jeroboam: but he arose, and fled into Egypt to Sesac the king of Egypt, and was in Egypt till the death of Solomon.
Da nu Salomo stod Jeroboam efter Livet, flygtede han til Ægypten, til Ægypterkoogen Sjisjak; og han blev i Ægypten, til Salomo døde.
41 And the rest of the words of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom: behold they are all written in the book of the words of the days of Solomon.
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Salomo, alt, hvad han gjorde, og hans Visdom, står jo optegnet i Salomos Krønike.
42 And the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel, were forty years.
Den Tid, Salomo herskede i Jerusalem over hele Israel, udgjorde fyrretyve År.
43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father, and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
Så 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.
