1 Kings 2
1 And the days of David to die draw near, and he charges his son Solomon, saying,
Og der Davids Dage kom nær til, at han skulde dø, da bød han sin Søn Salomo og sagde:
2 “I am going in the way of all the earth, and you have been strong, and become a man,
Jeg gaar bort ad al Jordens Vej, saa vær frimodig og vær en Mand,
3 and you have kept the charge of your God YHWH, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commands, and His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, so that you do wisely [in] all that you do, and wherever you turn,
og tag Vare paa, hvad Herren din Gud vil have varetaget, at du vandrer i hans Veje og holder hans Skikke, hans Bud og hans Befalinger og hans Vidnesbyrd efter det, som er skrevet i Mose Lov, at du kan handle viselig i alt det, du gør, og i alt det, du vender dig til,
4 so that YHWH establishes His word which He spoke to me, saying, If your sons observe their way to walk before Me in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul; saying, A man of yours is never cut off from the throne of Israel.
paa det Herren skal stadfæste sit Ord, som han talede over mig og sagde: Dersom dine Børn bevare deres Vej, at vandre for mit Ansigt i Sandhed, af deres ganske Hjerte og af deres ganske Sjæl, da skal, sagde han, dig ikke fattes en Mand paa Israels Stol.
5 And also, you have known that which he did to me—Joab son of Zeruiah—that which he did to two heads of the hosts of Israel, to Abner son of Ner, and to Amasa son of Jether—that he slays them, and makes the blood of war in peace, and puts the blood of war in his girdle, that [is] on his loins, and in his sandals that [are] on his feet;
Og du ved ogsaa, hvad Joab, Zerujas Søn, gjorde ved mig, hvad han gjorde ved de to Stridshøvedsmænd i Israel, ved Abner, Ners Søn, og ved Amasa, Jethers Søn, som han slog ihjel, og udøste Krigsblod under Fred, og kom Krigsblod paa sit Bælte, som var om hans Lænder, og paa sine Sko, som vare paa hans Fødder.
6 and you have done according to your wisdom, and do not let his old age go down in peace to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Og du skal gøre efter din Visdom, at du ikke lader hans graa Haar nedfare til Graven med Fred. (Sheol h7585)
7 And you do kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and they have been among those eating at your table, for so they drew near to me in my fleeing from the face of your brother Absalom.
Men du skal gøre Miskundhed mod Gileaditeren Barsillajs Sønner, og de skulle være iblandt dem, som æde ved dit Bord; thi saaledes holdt de sig nær til mig, der jeg flyede for Absalom, din Broder.
8 And behold, Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite of Bahurim, [is] with you, and he reviled me—a grievous reviling—in the day of my going to Mahanaim; and he has come down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swear to him by YHWH, saying, I do not put you to death by the sword;
Og se, du har hos dig Benjaminiten Simei, Geras Søn, fra Bahurim, som bandede mig med en gruelig Forbandelse, paa den Dag jeg gik til Mahanaim; men han kom ned imod mig til Jordanen, og jeg svor ham ved Herren og sagde: Jeg vil ikke slaa dig ihjel med Sværdet.
9 and now, do not acquit him, for you [are] a wise man, and you have known that which you do to him, and have brought down his old age with blood to Sheol.” (Sheol h7585)
Men nu, du skal ikke holde ham uskyldig; thi du er en viis Mand, og du ved, hvad du skal gøre ved ham, saa at du lader hans graa Haar nedfare med Blod til Graven. (Sheol h7585)
10 And David lies down with his fathers, and is buried in the City of David,
Saa laa David med sine Fædre og blev begraven i Davids Stad.
11 and the days that David has reigned over Israel [are] forty years; he has reigned seven years in Hebron, and he has reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
Og de Dage, som David var Koige over Israel, vare fyrretyve Aar; han var Konge i Hebron syv Aar og var Konge i Jerusalem tre og tredive Aar.
12 And Solomon has sat on the throne of his father David, and his kingdom is established greatly,
Og Salomo sad paa sin Faders, Davids Trone, og hans Rige blev saare fast.
13 and Adonijah son of Haggith comes to Bathsheba, mother of Solomon, and she says, “Is your coming peace?” And he says, “Peace.”
Og Adonia, Hagiths Søn, kom ind til Bathseba, Salomos Moder, og hun sagde: Kommer du med Fred? og han sagde: Med Fred.
14 And he says, “I have a word for you,” and she says, “Speak.”
Da sagde han: Jeg har et Ord til dig; og hun sagde: Tal.
15 And he says, “You have known that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had set their faces toward me for reigning, and the kingdom is turned around, and is my brother’s, for it was his from YHWH;
Og han sagde: Du ved, at Riget var mit, og al Israel havde vendt deres Ansigt til mig, at jeg skulde være Konge; men Riget er fravendt mig og blevet min Broders, thi det er blevet hans af Herren.
16 and now, I am asking one petition of you—do not turn back my face”; and she says to him, “Speak.”
Og nu begærer jeg en Begæring af dig, du ville ikke afvise mig; men hun sagde til ham: Tal.
17 And he says, “Please speak to Solomon the king, for he does not turn back your face, and he gives Abishag the Shunammite to me for a wife.”
Da sagde han: Kære, tal til Kong Salomo, thi han afviser dig ikke, at han vil give mig Abisag, den sunamitiske, til Hustru.
18 And Bathsheba says, “Good; I speak to the king for you.”
Og Bathseba sagde: Godt; jeg vil tale for dig til Kongen.
19 And Bathsheba comes to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah, and the king rises to meet her, and bows himself to her, and sits on his throne, and places a throne for the mother of the king, and she sits at his right hand.
Og Bathseba kom til Kong Salomo, at tale med ham for Adonia, og Kongen stod op imod hende og bøjede sig ned for hende, og satte sig paa sin Stol, og man satte en Stol til Kongens Moder, og hun sad ved hans højre Side.
20 And she says, “I ask one small petition of you, do not turn back my face”; and the king says to her, “Ask, my mother, for I do not turn back your face.”
Og hun sagde: Jeg begærer en liden Begæring af dig, du ville ikke afvise mig; Kongen sagde til hende: Begær, min Moder, thi jeg vil ikke afvise dig.
21 And she says, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to your brother Adonijah for a wife.”
Og hun sagde: Lad Abisag, den sunamitiske, gives din Broder Adonia til Hustru.
22 And King Solomon answers and says to his mother, “And why are you asking [for] Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Also ask [for] the kingdom for him—for he [is] my elder brother—even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab son of Zeruiah.”
Da svarede Kong Salomo og sagde til sin Moder: Men hvorfor begærer du Abisag, den sunamitiske, til Adonia? begær og Riget for ham, thi han er min Broder, ældre end jeg, og for Abjathar, Præsten, og Joab, Zerujas Søn.
23 And King Solomon swears by YHWH, saying, “Thus God does to me, and thus He adds—surely Adonijah has spoken this word against his [own] soul;
Og Kong Salomo svor ved Herren og sagde: Gud gøre mig nu og fremdeles saa og saa! Adonia skal have talt det Ord imod sit Liv.
24 and now, YHWH lives, who has established me, and causes me to sit on the throne of my father David, and who has made a house for me as He spoke—surely Adonijah is put to death today.”
Og nu, saa vist som Herren lever, som har stadfæstet mig og ladet mig sidde paa min Fader Davids Trone, og som har givet mig et Hus, som han sagde: Da skal Adonia lide Døden i Dag.
25 And King Solomon sends by the hand of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he falls on him, and he dies.
Og Kong Salomo sendte ved Benaja, Jojadas Søns, Haand, og denne faldt an paa ham, saa at han døde.
26 And the king said to Abiathar the priest, “Go to Anathoth, to your fields; for you [are] a man of death, but I do not put you to death in this day, because you have carried the Ark of Lord YHWH before my father David, and because you were afflicted in all that my father was afflicted in.”
Og Kongen sagde til Abjathar, Præsten: Gak til din Ager i Anathoth, thi du er en Dødens Mand; men jeg vil ikke slaa dig ihjel denne Dag, fordi du har baaret den Herre Herres Ark for Davids, min Faders, Ansigt, og fordi du har lidt Trængsel i alt, hvori min Fader har lidt Trængsel.
27 And Solomon casts out Abiathar from being priest of YHWH, to fulfill the word of YHWH which He spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
Saa udstødte Salomo Abjathar fra at være Herrens Præst, for at opfylde Herrens Ord, som han havde talt over Elis Hus i Silo.
28 And the report has come to Joab—for Joab has turned aside after Adonijah, though he did not turn aside after Absalom—and Joab flees to the tent of YHWH, and lays hold on the horns of the altar.
Og der dette Rygte kom for Joab (thi Joab havde holdt med Adonia, men havde ikke holdt med Absalom), da flyede Joab til Herrens Paulun og tog fat paa Alterets Horn.
29 And it is declared to King Solomon that Joab has fled to the tent of YHWH, and behold, [is] near the altar; and Solomon sends Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, fall on him.”
Og det blev Kong Salomo tilkendegivet, at Joab var flyet til Herrens Paulun, og se, han stod ved Alteret; da sendte Salomo Benaja, Jojadas Søn, hen og sagde: Gak, fald an paa ham.
30 And Benaiah comes into the tent of YHWH and says to him, “Thus said the king: Come out”; and he says, “No, but I die here.” And Benaiah brings back word [to] the king, saying, “Thus spoke Joab, indeed, thus he answered me.”
Og der Benaja kom til Herrens Paulun, da sagde han til ham: Saa siger Kongen: Gak ud; og han sagde: Nej, thi her vil jeg dø; og Benaja førte Svar tilbage til Kongen og sagde: Saa har Joab talt, og saa har han svaret mig.
31 And the king says to him, “Do as he has spoken, and fall on him, and you have buried him, and turned aside the causeless blood which Joab shed from off me, and from off the house of my father;
Da sagde Kongen til ham: Gør, saaledes som han har talt, og fald an paa ham og begrav ham; og du skal bortskaffe det uskyldige Blod, som Joab har udøst, fra mig og fra min Faders Hus.
32 and YHWH has turned back his blood on his own head, [on him] who has fallen on two men more righteous and better than he, and slays them with the sword—and my father David did not know—Abner son of Ner, head of the host of Israel, and Amasa son of Jether, head of the host of Judah;
Og Herren skal lade Blodet komme tilbage paa hans Hoved, fordi han faldt an paa to Mænd, som vare retfærdigere og bedre end han, og slog dem ihjel med Sværdet, og min Fader David vidste det ikke, nemlig Abner, Ners Søn, Stridshøvedsmand over Israel, og Amasa, Jethers Søn, Stridshøvedsmand over Juda,
33 indeed, their blood has turned back on the head of Joab, and on the head of his seed for all time; and for David, and for his seed, and for his house, and for his throne, there is peace for all time, from YHWH.”
at deres Blod skal komme tilbage paa Joabs Hoved og paa hans Sæds Hoved evindelig; men David og hans Sæd og hans Hus og hans Trone skal have Fred af Herren indtil evig Tid.
34 And Benaiah son of Jehoiada goes up and falls on him, and puts him to death, and he is buried in his own house in the wilderness,
Og Benaja, Jojadas Søn, gik op og faldt an paa ham og dræbte ham; og han blev begraven i sit Hus i Ørken.
35 and the king puts Benaiah son of Jehoiada over the host in his stead, and the king has put Zadok the priest in the stead of Abiathar.
Og Kongen satte Benaja, Jojadas Søn, i hans Sted over Hæren, og Kongen satte Zadok, Præsten, i Abjathars Sted.
36 And the king sends and calls for Shimei, and says to him, “Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem, and you have dwelt there, and do not go out [from] there anywhere;
Og Kongen sendte hen og lod kalde Simei og sagde til ham: Byg dig et Hus i Jerusalem, og bo der, og gak ikke der ud fra hid eller did.
37 and it has been, in the day of your going out, and you have passed over the Brook of Kidron, you certainly know that you surely die—your blood is on your head.”
Thi det skal ske, paa hvilken Dag du gaar ud og gaar over Kedrons Bæk, da vid vist, at du skal dø; dit Blod skal være paa dit Hoved.
38 And Shimei says to the king, “The word [is] good; as my lord the king has spoken so your servant does”; and Shimei dwells in Jerusalem many days.
Og Simei sagde til Kongen: Det Ord er godt; ligesom min Herre Kongen har talt, saa skal din Tjener gøre. Saa boede Simei i Jerusalem mange Dage.
39 And it comes to pass, at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei flee to Achish son of Maachah, king of Gath, and they declare to Shimei, saying, “Behold, your servants [are] in Gath”;
Og det skete, der tre Aar vare til Ende, at to af Simeis Tjenere flyede til Akis, Maekas Søn, Kongen i Gath; og de gave Simei det til Kende, sigende se, dine Tjenere ere i Gath.
40 and Shimei rises, and saddles his donkey, and goes to Gath, to Achish, to seek his servants, and Shimei goes and brings his servants from Gath.
Saa gjorde Simei sig rede og sadlede sit Asen og drog til Gath til Akis at oplede sine Tjenere; og Simei drog hen og førte sine Tjenere fra Gath.
41 And it is declared to Solomon that Shimei has gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and returns,
Og det blev Salomo tilkendegivet, at Simei var dragen fra Jerusalem til Gath og var kommen tilbage.
42 and the king sends and calls for Shimei, and says to him, “Have I not caused you to swear by YHWH—and I testify against you, saying, In the day of your going out, and you have gone anywhere, you certainly know that you surely die; and you say to me, The word I have heard [is] good?
Og Kongen sendte hen og lod Simei kalde og sagde til ham: Har jeg ikke besvoret dig ved Herren og vidnet for dig og sagt: Paa hvilken Dag du gaar ud og gaar hid eller did, skal du vist vide, at du skal dø? og du sagde til mig: Det Ord er godt, som jeg har hørt.
43 And why have you not kept the oath of YHWH, and the charge that I charged on you?”
Hvorfor har du da ikke holdt Herrens Ed og det Bud, som jeg bød dig?
44 And the king says to Shimei, “You have known all the evil that your heart has known, which you did to my father David, and YHWH has turned back your evil on your head,
Og Kongen sagde til Simei: Du ved al den Ondskab, som dit Hjerte er sig bevidst, hvilken du gjorde min Fader David, og Herren har ladet din Ondskab komme tilbage paa dit Hoved.
45 and King Solomon [is] blessed, and the throne of David is established before YHWH for all time.”
Men Kong Salomo er velsignet, og Davids Trone skal være fast for Herrens Ansigt til evig Tid.
46 And the king charges Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he goes out and falls on him, and he dies, and the kingdom is established in the hand of Solomon.
Saa bød Kongen Benaja, Jojadas Søn, og han gik ud og faldt an paa ham, og han døde. Og Riget blev befæstet i Salomos Haand.
