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 hadde mange utlendske kvinnor som han elska - umfram dotter åt Farao; moabitiske, ammonitiske, edomitiske, sidoniske, hetitiske,
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.
kvinnor av dei heidningfolki som Herren hadde åtvara Israels-sønerne imot og sagt: «De skal ikkje hava noko med deim, og ikkje dei med dykk; elles kjem dei visseleg til å snu hjarta dykkar til sine gudar.» Salomo heldt seg til desse i elsk.
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 hadde sju hundrad konor av fyrsteætt og tri hundrad fylgjekonor, og konorne vende hjarta hans.
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.
Ja, då Salomo vart gamall, drog dei hjarta hans til andre gudar, so hjarta hans var ikkje heilt med Herren hans Gud, soleis som hjarta åt David, far hans.
5 Solomon worshiped Ashtoreth, goddess of the Sidonians, and Molech, vile god of the Ammonites.
Og Salomo fylgde Astarte, sidoniarguden, og Milkom, styggedomen åt ammonitarne.
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.
Soleis gjorde Salomo det som var vondt i Herrens augo, og fylgde ikkje Herren i eit og alt som David, far hans.
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.
Salomo bygde då ein offerhaug på berget austanfor Jerusalem åt Kamos, styggedomen åt Moab, og for Molek, styggedomen åt Ammons-sønerne.
8 He built places of worship for all his foreign wives where they burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
Og det same gjorde han for alle dei utlendske konorne sine, so dei fekk brenna røykjelse og ofra til gudarne sine.
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.
Då vart Herren harm på Salomo, for di han hadde vendt hjarta sitt burt ifrå Herren, Israels Gud, som hadde openberra seg for honom tvo gonger
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 gjeve honom eit serskilt bod um dette, at han ikkje skulde fylgja andre gudar; men han hadde ikkje agta på Herrens bod.
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.
Difor sagde Herren til Salomo: «Etter di du er komen på dette, og ikkje hev halde pakti mi og loverne mine, som eg hev gjeve deg, vil eg riva riket ifrå deg og gjeva det til tenaren din.
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.
Men for David, far din, skuld vil eg ikkje gjera dette i di tid; eg riv det or handi på son din.
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.”
Heile riket vil eg like vel ikkje riva ifrå honom. Eitt fylke vil eg gjeva son din for David, far din, skuld og for Jerusalem skuld, som eg hev valt ut.»
14 Then the Lord encouraged Hadad the Edomite of Edom's royal family to oppose Solomon.
Og Herren vekte upp ein motmann imot Salomo; edomiten Hadad; han var av kongsætti 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.
Då David var i Edom, og herhovdingen Joab for upp og skulde gravleggja dei falne og med det same slo i hel alt som mann var i Edom
16 Joab and the whole Israelite army had spent six months there destroying them all.
- for Joab og heile Israel vart verande der i seks månader, til dess han hadde rudt ut alt som mann var 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.
då rømde denne Hadad, han sjølv og nokre edomitiske menner, som hadde vore i tenesta hjå far hans, og tok vegen til Egyptarland. Hadad var den gong ein liten gut.
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.
Og dei drog ut frå Midjan og kom til Paran; frå Paran tok dei med seg nokre menner og kom til Egyptarland til Farao, egyptarkongen; han gav honom eit hus og rettleide honom med upphald og let honom få jord.
19 Pharaoh became very friendly with Hadad, and he gave him the sister of his own wife to marry, Queen Tahpenes' sister.
Hadad fann stor godvilje hjå Farao, so han gav honom til kona syster åt kona si, syster åt dronning Tahpenes.
20 She gave birth to his son called Genubath. Tahpenes brought him up in Pharaoh's palace with Pharaoh's own children.
Og denne syster åt Tahpenes fødde sonen Genubat åt honom; Tahpenes vande honom av i huset åt Farao, og Genubat vart verande i huset der med sønerne åt Farao.
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.”
Men då Hadad høyrde i Egyptarland, at David hadde lagt seg til kvile hjå federne sine, og at Joab, stridshovdingen, var avliden, so sagde Hadad til Farao: «Slepp meg no, so eg kann fara heim til landet mitt!»
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 honom: «Kva saknar du her hjå meg, sidan du vil fara heim til landet ditt?» Han svara: «Ingen ting; men du må plent lata meg fara.»
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,
Gud vekte upp ein motmann til imot Salomo: Rezon Eljadason; han var rømd ifrå herren sin, Hadadezer, kongen i Soba.
24 Rezon gathered around him a rebel band, and became their leader. They went and settled in Damascus, where they took over.
Der samla han ein flokk um seg, den gong David slo folket i hel, og vart røvarhovding; dei drog av til Damaskus, slo seg ned der og styrde 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 vart ein motmann imot Israel so lenge Salomo livde, og skadde det, både han og Hadad; han hata Israel og vart konge yver Syria.
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.
Ein av mennerne åt Salomo heitte Jerobeam; han var son åt Nebat, ein efraimit frå Sereda; mor hans heitte Serua og var enkja. Og han gjorde uppreist mot 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.
Grunnen til at han lyfte hand imot kongen, var dette: Salomo bygde Millo og sette stengsla for opningi til byen åt David, far sin.
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.
No var Jerobeam ein dugande kar, og då Salomo såg at han var drivande i arbeidet sitt, sette han honom til tilsynsmann yver alt arbeidet som Josefs hus hadde på seg.
29 Around that time the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite met Jeroboam on the road as he was leaving Jerusalem.
So hende det ein gong ved det leitet, at Jerobeam var gjengen ut or Jerusalem, og at profeten Ahia frå Silo råka honom på vegen. Han hadde på seg ei ny kåpa, og dei var tvo-eine på marki.
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.
Då tok Ahia den nye kåpa han hadde på seg, og reiv henne i tolv stykke.
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 han sagde til Jerobeam: «Tak deg ti stykke! For so segjer Herren, Israels Gud: «Sjå, eg vil riva riket ut or handi på Salomo og gjeva deg ti av ætterne;
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.
men den eine ætti skal han få hava for David skuld, tenaren min, og for Jerusalem skuld, den byen eg hev valt millom alle Israels fylke.
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 skal ganga so, for di dei hev vike ifrå meg og bede til Astarte, sidonarguden, til Kamos, Moabs-guden, og til Milkom, ammonitarguden, og ikkje gjenge mine vegar, ikkje gjort det som rett er i mine augo, eller halde loverne mine og bodi mine, soleis som David, far hans, gjorde.
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.
Eg vil like vel ikkje taka noko av riket ifrå honom sjølv, men lata honom vera fyrste so lenge han liver, for David skuld, tenaren min, han som eg valde ut, og som agta på bodi og loverne mine.
35 But I will take from his son's kingdom ten tribes and give them to you.
Men ifrå son hans vil eg taka riket, og gjeva deg det, dei ti ætterne, meiner eg;
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.
son hans vil eg gjeva ein av ætterne, so tenaren min, David, alle dagar må hava ei lampa framfor mi åsyn i Jerusalem, den byen som eg hev valt meg ut til bustad for namnet mitt.
37 I will take you, and you shall reign over everything that you want. You will be king over Israel.
Deg vil eg då kåra, du skal råda yver alt du hev hug til, og vera konge yver 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.
Og lyder du alt som eg byd deg, og gjeng mine vegar og gjer det som rett er i mine augo, so du held loverne mine og bodi mine, soleis som David, tenaren min, gjorde, so vil eg vera med deg og byggja deg eit hus som stend fast, soleis som eg bygde for David, og gjeva deg Israel.
39 I will punish David's descendants because of this, but not forever.”
Og Davids ætt vil eg mykja for dette, men like vel ikkje for alltid.»»
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.
Salomo freista å taka livet av Jerobeam; men Jerobeam reis upp og rømde undan til Egyptarland til egyptarkongen Sisak, og han vart verande i Egyptarland til Salomo døydde.
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.
Det som elles er å fortelja um Salomo og alt det han gjorde, og um visdomen hans, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Salomo.
42 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all of Israel for a total of forty years.
Den tid Salomo var konge i Jerusalem yver heile Israel, var fyrti år.
43 Solomon died and was buried in the city of his father David. His son Rehoboam succeeded him as king.
So lagde Salomo seg til kvile hjå federne sine og vart gravlagd i byen åt David, far sin, og Rehabeam, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
