2 Chronicles 12
1 And when Rehoboam had established the kingdome and made it strong, hee forsooke the Lawe of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
Men da Rehabeams Kongedømme var grundfæstet og hans Magt styrket, forlod han tillige med hele Israel HERRENS Lov.
2 Therefore in the fift yeere of King Rehoboam, Shishak the King of Egypt came vp against Ierusalem (because they had transgressed against the Lord)
Da drog i Kong Rehabeams femte Regeringsaar Ægypterkongen Sjisjak op imod Jerusalem, fordi de havde været troløse mod HERREN,
3 With twelue hundreth charets, and three score thousande horsemen, and the people were without nomber, that came with him from Egypt, euen the Lubims, Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians.
med 1200 Stridsvogne og 60 000 Ryttere, og der var ikke Tal paa Krigerne, der drog med ham fra Ægypten, Libyere, Sukkijiter og Ætiopere;
4 And he tooke the strong cities which were of Iudah, and came vnto Ierusalem.
og efter at have indtaget Fæstningerne i Juda drog han mod Jerusalem.
5 Then came Shemaiah the Prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Iudah, that were gathered together in Hierusalem, because of Shishak, and sayde vnto them, Thus sayth the Lord, Ye haue forsaken me, therefore haue I also left you in the handes of Shishak.
Da kom Profeten Sjemaja til Rehabeam og Judas Øverster, som var tyet sammen i Jerusalem for Sjisjak, og sagde til dem: »Saa siger HERREN: I har forladt mig, derfor har jeg ogsaa forladt eder og givet eder i Sjisjaks Haand!«
6 Then the princes of Israel, and the King humbled themselues, and sayde, The Lord is iust.
Da ydmygede Israels Øverster og Kongen sig og sagde: »HERREN er retfærdig!«
7 And when the Lord sawe that they humbled themselues, the worde of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying, They haue humbled theselues, therefore I will not destroy them, but I will sende them deliuerance shortly, and my wrath shall not bee powred out vpon Ierusalem by the hand of Shishak.
Og da HERREN saa, at de havde ydmyget sig, kom HERRENS Ord til Sjemaja saaledes: »De har ydmyget sig; derfor vil jeg ikke tilintetgøre dem, men frelse dem om ikke længe, og min Vrede skal ikke udgydes over Jerusalem ved Sjisjak;
8 Neuerthelesse they shalbe his sernants: so shall they knowe my seruice, and the seruice of the kingdomes of the earth.
men de skal komme til at staa under ham og lære at kende Forskellen mellem at tjene mig og at tjene Hedningemagterne!«
9 Then Shishak King of Egypt came vp against Ierusalem, and tooke the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the Kings house he tooke euen all, and hee caried away the shields of golde, which Salomon had made.
Saa drog Sjisjak op mod Jerusalem og tog Skattene i HERRENS Hus og i Kongens Palads; alt tog han, ogsaa de Guldskjolde, Salomo havde ladet lave.
10 In stead whereof King Rehoboam made shieldes of brasse, and committed them to the handes of the chiefe of the garde, that wayted at the doore of the Kings house.
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;
11 And when the King entred into the house of the Lord, the garde came and bare them and brought them againe vnto the garde chamber.
og hver Gang Kongen begav sig til HERRENS Hus, kom Livvagten og hentede dem, og bagefter bragte de dem tilbage til Vagtstuen.
12 And because hee humbled himselfe, the wrath of the Lord turned from him, that hee woulde not destroy all together. And also in Iudah the things prospered.
Men da han havde ydmyget sig, vendte HERRENS Vrede sig fra ham, saa han ikke helt tilintetgjorde ham; ogsaa i Juda var Forholdene gode.
13 So King Rehoboam was strong in Ierusalem and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and fourtie yere olde, when he began to reigne, and reigned seuenteene yeres in Ierusalem, the citie which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his Name there. And his mothers name was Naamah an Ammonitesse.
Saaledes styrkede Kong Rehabeam sin Magt i Jerusalem og blev ved at herske; thi Rehabeam var een og fyrretyve Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede sytten Aar 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.
14 And he did euill: for hee prepared not his heart to seeke the Lord.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt, thi hans Hjerte var ikke vendt til at søge HERREN.
15 The actes also of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the booke of Shemaiah the Prophet, and Iddo the Seer, in rehearsing the genealogie? and there was warre alway betweene Rehoboam and Ieroboam.
Rehabeams Historie fra først til sidst staar jo optegnet i Profeten Sjemajas og Seeren Iddos Krønike. Rehabeam og Jeroboam laa i Krig med hinanden hele Tiden.
16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the citie of Dauid, and Abiiah his sonne reigned in his stead.
Saa lagde Rehabeam sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i Davidsbyen. Og hans Søn Abija blev Konge i hans Sted.
