1 Kings 11
1 King Solomon loved many foreign women. Besides Pharaoh's daughter, there were women from the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites.
Kong Salomo elskede foruden Faraos Datter mange fremmede Kvinder, moabitiske, ammonitiske, edomitiske, zidoniske og hetitiske Kvinder,
2 They were from the nations that the Lord had warned the Israelites, “You must not intermarry with them, for they will undoubtedly convince you to worship their gods.” Yet Solomon because of his love for women held on to them.
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 He had seven hundred wives of noble birth and three hundred concubines. His wives did convince him to turn away from the Lord.
Han havde 700 fyrsfelige Hustruer og 300 Medhustruer, og hans Hustruer drog hans Hjerte bort fra Herren.
4 As Solomon grew old, his wives led him to follow other gods, and he did not commit himself wholeheartedly to the Lord as his father David had done.
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 Solomon worshiped Ashtoreth, goddess of the Sidonians, and Molech, vile god of the Ammonites.
Salomo holdt sig da til Astarte, Zidoniernes Gudinde, og til Milkom, Ammoniternes væmmelige Gud.
6 This was how Solomon did evil in the Lord's sight, and was not completely dedicated to the Lord as his father David was.
Således gjorde Salomo, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, og viste ikke HERREN fuld Lydighed som hans Fader David.
7 It was then that Solomon built a high place of worship for Chemosh, the vile god of the people of Moab, and for Molech, the vile god of the Ammonites, on a hill east of Jerusalem.
Ved den Tid byggede Salomo en Offerhøj for Kemosj, Moabs væmmelige Gud, på Bjerget østen for Jerusalem, og for Milkom, Ammoniternes væmmelige Gud;
8 He built places of worship for all his foreign wives where they burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
og samme Hensyn viste han alle sine fremmede Hustruer, som tændte Offerild for deres Guder og ofrede til dem.
9 The Lord became angry with Solomon because he had 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 The Lord had warned Solomon about this—that he should not worship other gods. But Solomon did not listen to the Lord's warning.
og udtrykkelig havde påbudt ham ikke at holde sig til fremmede Guder; men han holdt ikke, hvad HERREN havde påbudt ham.
11 So the Lord told him, “Since this is what you have done, and since you have not kept my agreement and my laws that I commanded, I will definitely take the kingdom away from you and give it to your 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 However, for the sake of your father David, I will not do this in your lifetime—I will take it away 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 Hånd.
13 Even then I will not take away the whole kingdom. I will leave your son with one tribe for the sake of my servant David, and for the sake of my chosen city Jerusalem.”
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 Then the Lord encouraged Hadad the Edomite of Edom's royal family to oppose Solomon.
HERREN gav Salomo en Modstander i Edomiten Hadad af Kongeslægten i Edom.
15 Previously, when David was in Edom, Joab the commander of the Israelite army had gone to bury some of his soldiers who had been killed, and had slaughtered 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 Joab and the whole Israelite army had spent six months there destroying them all.
Joab og hele Israel blev der i seks Måneder, til han havde udryddet alle af Mandkøn i Edom -
17 But Hadad and some Edomites who had been his father's officials had run away to Egypt—Hadad was just a boy at the time.
da var Adad med nogle edomitiske Mænd af hans Faders Folk flygtet ad Ægypten til. Dengang var Hadad endnu en lille Dreng.
18 They left Midian and went to Paran. Then, along with some people from Paran, they went to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt. He provided Hadad with a house and food, and also assigned him land as a gift.
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 Pharaoh became very friendly with Hadad, and he gave him the sister of his own wife to marry, Queen Tahpenes' sister.
Og da Farao fattede særlig Godhed for Hadad, gav han ham sin Svigerinde, en Søster til Dronning Takpenes, til Ægte.
20 She gave birth to his son called Genubath. Tahpenes brought him up in Pharaoh's palace with Pharaoh's own 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 However, when news reached Hadad in Egypt that both David and Joab, the commander of the army, had died, Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me leave and return 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 Pharaoh asked him, “Is there anything that you have lacked here with me that now you want to go back to your own country?” “No, there's nothing,” Hadad replied, “but please just let me go home.”
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 encouraged Rezon, son of Eliada, to oppose Solomon. He had run away from his master Hadadezer, king of Zobah. After David had destroyed Zobah's army,
Fremdeles gav Gud ham en Modstander i Rezon, Eljadas Søn, der var flygtet fra sin Herre, Kong Hadadezer af Zoba.
24 Rezon gathered around him a rebel band, and became their leader. They went and settled in Damascus, where they took over.
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 Rezon was Israel's enemy throughout Solomon's lifetime which added to the trouble Hadad caused. Rezon really hated Israel, and was the ruler of Aram.
Han var Israels Modstander, så længe Salomo levede.
26 In addition, Jeroboam, son of Nebat, rebelled against the king. One of Solomon's officials, he was an Ephraimite from Zeredah. His mother was a widow called Zeruah.
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 This is why he rebelled against the king: Solomon had built the terraces and had closed the gap in the wall of the city of his father David.
Hermed gik det således til Salomo byggede på Millo; han lukkede Hullet i sin Fader Davids By.
28 Jeroboam was a man of ability, and when Solomon realized how successful he was in what he did, he placed him command of all the forced labor of the tribes 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 Around that time the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite met Jeroboam on the road as he was leaving Jerusalem.
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 Ahijah had wrapped himself in a new cloak, and the two of them were by themselves in the countryside. Ahijah took the new cloak he was wearing and ripped it up into twelve pieces.
Da greb Ahija fat i den ny Kappe, han havde på, rev den i tolv Stykker
31 He said, “Jeroboam, take ten pieces. This is what the Lord God of Israel says. ‘Jeroboam, I am the Lord, the God of Israel, and I am going to take Solomon's kingdom from him and give you ten of the 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 One tribe will be left for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I chose from among 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 This is because they have abandoned me and bowed down in worship of Ashtoreth, goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh, god of the Moabites, and Molech, god of the Ammonites. They have not followed my ways; they have not done what is right in my sight; they have not kept my commandments and laws as David, Solomon's father, 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 på mine Veje og gjort, hvad der er ret i mine Øjne, eller holdt mine Anordninger og Lovbud som hans Fader David.
34 Even so, I'm not going to take the whole kingdom from Solomon, because I made him ruler for his lifetime for the sake of my servant David. I chose him because he kept my commandments and laws.
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 from his son's kingdom ten tribes and give them to you.
Men jeg vil tage Riget fra hans Søn og give dig det, de ti Stammer;
36 I will give his son one tribe, so that my servant David will always have a descendant like a lamp before me in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to be honored.
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 I will take you, and you shall reign over everything that you want. You will 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 you accept everything that I command you, if you follow my ways, if you do what is right in my sight, keeping my laws and commandments as my servant David did, then I will be with you. I will set up for you a dynasty that lasts, just as I did for David, and I will give Israel to you.
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 I will punish David's descendants because of this, but not forever.”
men jeg ydmyger Davids Slægt for den Sags Skyld, dog ikke for stedse!"
40 So Solomon tried to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam ran away to Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt. He remained there until Solomon's death.
Da nu Salomo stod Jeroboam efter Livet, flygtede han til Ægypten, til Ægypterkoogen Sjisjak; og han blev i Ægypten, til Salomo døde.
41 The record of the rest of the acts of Solomon, including everything he did, and his wisdom, are written in the Book of the Acts of Solomon.
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Salomo, alt, hvad han gjorde, og hans Visdom, står jo optegnet i Salomos Krønike.
42 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all of Israel for a total of forty years.
Den Tid, Salomo herskede i Jerusalem over hele Israel, udgjorde fyrretyve År.
43 Solomon died and was buried in the city of his father David. His son Rehoboam succeeded him as king.
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.
