1 Kings 14
1 It was at that time that Abijah, Jeroboam's son, fell ill.
Ved den Tid blev Jeroboams Søn Abija syg.
2 So Jeroboam told his wife, “Please go and disguise yourself so nobody will know you're Jeroboam's wife. Then go to Shiloh and look for Ahijah the prophet. He was the one who told me I would become king over this people.
Da sagde Jeroboam til sin Hustru: "Tag og forklæd dig, så man ikke kan kende, at du er Jeroboams Hustru, og begiv dig til Silo, thi der bor Profeten Ahija, som kundgjorde mig, at jeg skulde blive Konge over dette Folk;
3 Take with you ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey for him. He will explain to you what will happen to the boy.”
tag ti Brød, noget Bagværk og en Krukke Honning med og henvend dig til ham, så vil han sige dig, hvorledes det skal gå Drengen!"
4 Jeroboam's wife did as she was told. She got up and went to Ahijah's house in Shiloh. Ahijah could not see—he had become blind because of his age.
Jeroboams Hustru gjorde nu således; hun begav sig til Silo og gik ind i Ahijas Hus. Ahija kunde ikke se, da hans Øjne var sløve af Alderdom;
5 But the Lord had told Ahijah, “Look, Jeroboam's wife is coming to ask you about her son, because he's ill. This is what you are to tell her, because she'll come in disguise.”
men HERREN havde sagt til Ahija: "Se, Jeroboams Hustru kommer til dig for at høre sig for hos dig angående sin Søn, da han er syg; det og det skal du svare hende; men når hun kommer, er hun forklædt."
6 So as soon as Ahijah heard her footsteps at the door, he called out, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam! Why do you bother coming in disguise? I have been given some bad news for you.
Da nu Ahija hørte Lyden af hendes Trin, som hun gik ind ad Døren, sagde han: "Kom kun ind, Jeroboams Hustru! Hvorfor er du forklædt? Mig er det pålagt at bringe dig en tung Tidende.
7 Go and tell Jeroboam this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I picked you from the masses and I made you ruler over my people Israel.
Gå hen og sig til Jeroboam: Så siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Jeg ophøjede dig af Folkets Midte og gjorde dig til Fyrste over mit Folk Israel
8 I took the kingdom from the house of David and gave it to you. But you were not like my servant David, who kept my commandments and was totally committed to following me, only doing what was right in my sight.
og rev Riget fra Davids Hus og gav dig det; dog har du ikke været som min Tjener David, der holdt mine Bud og fulgte mig af hele sit Hjerte og kun gjorde, hvad der er ret i mine Øjne,
9 You have done more evil than all those who lived before you. You have gone and made other gods for yourself, idols made of molten metal that made me angry. You have tossed me aside.
men du har handlet værre end alle dine Forgængere; du gik hen og krænkede mig og gjorde dig andre Guder og støbte Billeder, men mig kastede du bag din Ryg;
10 Now pay attention, because as a result of this I am going to bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam. I will totally exterminate every one of your descendants in Israel, whether slave or free. I will burn the house of Jeroboam like a man burning refuse until it's all gone.
se, derfor vil jeg bringe Ulykke over Jeroboams Hus og udrydde hvert mandligt Væsen, hver og en af Jeroboams Slægt i Israel, og jeg vil feje Jeroboams Hus bort, som man fejer Skarn bort, til der ikke er Spor tilbage!
11 Those of Jeroboam's family who die in the town will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the countryside will be eaten by birds. For the Lord has spoken.
Den af Jeroboams Slægt, som dør i Byen, skal Hundene æde, og den, som dør på Marken, skal Himmelens Fugle æde, thi det er HERREN, der har talet!
12 As for you, get up and go home. As soon as you arrive in the city, the child will die.
Men gå nu hjem! Når din Fod betræder Byen, skal Barnet dø;
13 All of Israel will mourn for him, and they will bury him. He alone of Jeroboam's family will be buried in a tomb because only in him has the Lord, the God of Israel found anything good—of the whole family of Jeroboam.
og hele Israel skal holde Dødeklage over ham og jorde ham, thi han er den eneste af Jeroboams Slægt, der skal komme i en Grav; thi hos ham fandtes dog noget, der vandt HERREN Israels Guds Behag inden for Jeroboams Slægt.
14 The Lord will choose for himself a king to rule over Israel who will destroy the house of Jeroboam. This is starting to happen even now!
Men HERREN vil oprejse sig en Konge over Israel, der skal udrydde Jeroboams Hus på den Dag.
15 The Lord will strike Israel like a reed jerked to and fro by the water. He will pull up Israel by the roots from this good land that he gave their forefathers and scatter them beyond the Euphrates, because they have made their pagan Asherah poles, making the Lord angry.
Men også siden vil HERREN slå Israel, så at de svajer hid og did som Sivet i Vandet, og rykke Israel op fra dette herlige Land, som han gav deres Fædre, og sprede dem hinsides Floden, fordi de har lavet sig Asjerastøtter og krænket HERREN;
16 He will abandon Israel because of the sins of Jeroboam, those that he committed himself, and those he made Israel commit.”
og han vil give Israel til Pris for de Synders Skyld, Jeroboam har begået og forledt Israel til."
17 Jeroboam's wife got up and left for Tirzah. As soon as she stepped through the doorway of her home, the boy died.
Da gav Jeroboams Hustru sig på Vej og kom til Tirza; og da hun betrådte Husets Tærskel, døde Drengen;
18 All of Israel buried him and mourned for him, just as the Lord had said through his servant Ahijah the prophet.
og man jordede ham, og hele Israel holdt Dødeklage over ham efter det Ord, HERREN havde talet ved sin Tjener, Profeten Ahija.
19 The rest of what Jeroboam did, how he engaged in warfare and how he reigned, they are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jeroboam, hvorledes han førte Krig, og hvorledes han herskede står jo optegnet i Israels kongers Krønike.
20 Jeroboam reigned for twenty-two years, and then he died. His son Nadab succeeded him as king.
Jeroboams Regeringstid udgjorde to og tyve År. Så lagde han sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og hans Søn Nadab blev Konge i hans Sted.
21 Rehoboam, son of Solomon, reigned in Judah. He was forty-one when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord had chosen from all the tribes of Israel where he would be honored. The name of his mother was Naamah the Ammonite.
Rehabeam, Salomos Søn, blev Kongei Juda. Rehabeam var een og fyrretyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede sytten År i Jerusalem, den By, HERREN havde udvalgt af alle Israels Stammer for der at stedfæste sit Navn. Hans Moder var en ammonitisk Kvinde ved Navn Na'ama.
22 Judah did what was evil in the Lord's sight, and because of the sins they committed they made his jealous anger even greater than all their fathers had done.
Og Juda gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, og med de Synder, de begik, vakte de hans Nidkærhed, mere end deres Fædre havde gjort.
23 They also set up for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
Også de byggede sig Offerhøje, Stenstøtter og Asjerastøtter på alle høje Steder og under alle grønne Træer;
24 There were even cult prostitutes in the land. They followed all the disgusting practices of the nations that the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.
ja, der var endog Mandsskøger i Landet. De øvede alle de Vederstyggeligheder, som var begået af de Folk, HERREN havde drevet bort foran Israeliterne.
25 In the fifth year of King Rehoboam's reign, Shishak, king of Egypt, attacked Jerusalem.
Men i Kong Rebabeams femte Regeringsår drog Ægypterkongen Sjisjak op imod Jerusalem
26 He took the treasures of the Lord's Temple and the royal palace. He took everything, including all the gold shields Solomon had made.
og tog Skattene i HERRENs Hus og i Kongens Palads; alt tog han, også de Guldskjolde, Salomo havde ladet lave.
27 So King Rehoboam made bronze shields to replace them and handed them over to the captains of the guard to look after. They stood on duty at the entrance to the royal palace.
Kong Rehabeam lod da i Stedet lave Kobberskjolde og gav dem i Forvaring hos Høvedsmændene for Livvagten, der holdt Vagt ved Indgangen til Kongens Palads;
28 Whenever the king went to the Lord's Temple, the guards would carry the shields. Afterwards they returned them to the guardroom.
og hver Gang Kongen begav sig til HERRENs Hus, bentede Livvagten dem, og bagefter bragte de dem tilbage til Vagtstuen.
29 The rest of what happened in Rehoboam's reign and everything that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Rehabeam, alt, hvad han gjorde, står jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.
30 Rehoboam and Jeroboam were always at war with each other.
Rehabeam og Jeroboam lå i Krig med hinanden hele Tiden.
31 Rehoboam died and was buried with his ancestors in the City of David. The name of his mother was Naamah the Ammonite. His son Abijam succeeded him as king.
Så lagde Rehabeam sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet hos sine Fædre i Davidsbyen. Hans Moder var en ammonitisk Kvinde ved Navn Na'ama. Og hans Søn Abija blev Konge i hans Sted.
