2 Chronicles 10
1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem were all Israel come to make him king.
Og Roboam drog til Sikem; thi al Israel var kommen til Sikem for at gøre ham til Konge.
2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was in Egypt, where he fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard it, that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
Og det skete, der Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, hørte det — thi han var i Ægypten, hvorhen han var flygtet for Kong Salomos Ansigt — da kom Jeroboam tilbage fra Ægypten.
3 And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
Thi de sendte hen og kaldte ham; og Jeroboam kom og al Israel, og de talte til Roboam, sigende:
4 Your father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease you somewhat the grievous servitude of your father, and his heavy yoke that he put on us, and we will serve you.
Din Fader gjorde vort Aag haardt; men let nu din Faders haarde Tjeneste og hans svare Aag, som han lagde paa os, saa ville vi tjene dig.
5 And he said to them, Come again to me after three days. And the people departed.
Og han sagde til dem: Om tre Dage saa kommer til mig igen; og Folket gik.
6 And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give you me to return answer to this people?
Og Kong Roboam raadførte sig med de ældste, som havde staaet for hans Fader Salomos Ansigt, der han var levende, og sagde: Hvorledes raade I at give dette Folk Svar tilbage?
7 And they spoke to him, saying, If you be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be your servants for ever.
Og de talte til ham, sigende: Vil du være dette Folk god og behage dem og tale gode Ord til dem, da blive de dine Tjenere alle Dage!
8 But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him.
Men han forlod de ældstes Raad, som de raadede ham, og raadførte sig med de unge, som vare opvoksede med ham, de, som stode for hans Ansigt.
9 And he said to them, What advice give you that we may return answer to this people, which have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that your father did put on us?
Og han sagde til dem: Hvad raade I, at vi skulle give dette Folk for Svar tilbage, som talte til mig, sigende: Gør du os det Aag lettere, som din Fader lagde paa os?
10 And the young men that were brought up with him spoke to him, saying, Thus shall you answer the people that spoke to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, but make you it somewhat lighter for us; thus shall you say to them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father’s loins.
Og de unge, som vare opvoksede med ham, talte til ham, sigende: Saa skal du sige til det Folk, som talte til dig og sagde: Din Fader gjorde vort Aag svart, men gør du os det lettere, — saa skal du sige til dem: Min Lillefinger skal være tykkere end min Faders Lænder.
11 For whereas my father put a heavy yoke on you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
Nu da, min Fader lagde eder et svart Aag paa, men jeg vil gøre eders Aag svarere; min Fader tugtede eder med Svøber, men jeg vil tugte eder med Skorpioner.
12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come again to me on the third day.
Da kom Jeroboam og alt Folket til Roboam paa den tredje Dag, som Kongen havde talt og sagt: Kommer igen til mig paa den tredje Dag!
13 And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
Og Kongen svarede dem haardt, og Kong Roboam forlod de ældstes Raad.
14 And answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
Og han talte til dem efter de unges Raad og sagde: Min Fader gjorde eders Aag svart, men jeg vil gøre det svarere; min Fader tugtede eder med Svøber, men jeg vil tugte eder med Skorpioner.
15 So the king listened not to the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spoke by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
Og Kongen hørte ikke Folket; thi Aarsagen var fra Gud, for at Herren kunde stadfæste sit Ord, som han havde talt ved Siloniten Ahia til Jeroboam, Nebats Søn.
16 And when all Israel saw that the king would not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and we have none inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: and now, David, see to your own house. So all Israel went to their tents.
Der al Israel saa, at Kongen ikke vilde høre dem, da gav Folket Kongen et Svar tilbage og sagde: Hvad Del have vi i David? og: Vi have ingen Lod i Isajs Søn; Israel! drag til dine Telte; se nu til dit Hus, o David! Saa gik al Israel til sine Telte, hver især.
17 But as for the children of Israel that dwelled in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
Dog Israels Børn, som boede i Judas Stæder, over dem regerede Roboam.
18 Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
Da sendte Kong Roboam Hadoram, som var Rentemester, men Israels Børn stenede ham med Stene, saa at han døde; men Kong Roboam brugte al sin Styrke til at komme op i Vognen for at fly til Jerusalem.
19 And Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day.
Saa faldt Israel af fra Davids Hus indtil denne Dag.
