2 Chronicles 10
1 And Rehoboam goes to Shechem, for all of Israel has come [to] Shechem to cause him to reign.
Og Roboam drog til Sikem; thi al Israel var kommen til Sikem for at gøre ham til Konge.
2 And it comes to pass, at Jeroboam son of Nebat—who [is] in Egypt because he has fled from the face of Solomon the king—hearing, that Jeroboam turns back 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 send and call for him, and Jeroboam comes in, and all of Israel, and they speak 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 sharp, and now, make light [some] of the sharp service of your father, and [some] of his heavy yoke that he put on us, and we 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 says to them, “Yet three days—then return to me”; and the people go.
Og han sagde til dem: Om tre Dage saa kommer til mig igen; og Folket gik.
6 And King Rehoboam consults with the aged men who have been standing before his father Solomon in his being alive, saying, “How are you counseling to answer 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 speak to him, saying, “If you become good to this people, and have been pleased with them, and spoken to them good words, then they have been servants to you [for] all the days.”
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 And he forsakes the counsel of the aged men that they counseled him, and consults with the boys who have grown up with him, those standing 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 says to them, “What are you counseling, and we answer this people that have spoken to me, saying, Make light [some] of the yoke that your father 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 boys who have grown up with him speak with him, saying, “Thus you say to the people who have spoken to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, and you, make light [some] of our yoke; thus you say to them, My little finger is thicker than the loins of my father;
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 and now, my father laid a heavy yoke on you, and I add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, and I—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 And Jeroboam comes in, and all the people, to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king spoke, saying, “Return 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 answers them sharply, and King Rehoboam forsakes the counsel of the aged men,
Og Kongen svarede dem haardt, og Kong Roboam forlod de ældstes Raad.
14 and speaks to them according to the counsel of the boys, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, and I add to it; my father disciplined you with whips, and I—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 And the king has not listened to the people, for the revolution has been from God, for the sake of YHWH’s establishing His word that He spoke by the hand of Abijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam 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 all Israel have seen that the king has not listened to them, and the people send back [word to] the king, saying, “What portion do we have in David? Indeed, there is no inheritance in a son of Jesse; [go], each to your tents, O Israel! Now see your house, O David!” And all [in] Israel go 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 As for the sons of Israel who are dwelling in the cities of Judah—Rehoboam reigns over them.
Dog Israels Børn, som boede i Judas Stæder, over dem regerede Roboam.
18 And King Rehoboam sends Hadoram, who [is] over the tribute, and the sons of Israel cast stones at him, and he dies; and King Rehoboam has strengthened himself to go up into a 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 transgresses against the house of David to this day.
Saa faldt Israel af fra Davids Hus indtil denne Dag.
