2 Chronicles 12

1 And it came to pass, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.

Og det skete, der Roboams Rige var befæstet, og der han var bleven mægtig, da forlod han og hele Israel med ham Herrens Lov.

2 And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against the LORD,

Og det skete i Kong Roboams femte Aar, da drog Sisak, Kongen af Ægypten, op imod Jerusalem (thi de havde forsyndet sig imod Herren)

3 with twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.

med tusinde og to Hundrede Vogne og med tresindstyve Tusinde Ryttere, og der var ikke Tal paa det Folk, som kom med ham af Ægypten: Libyer, Sukiter og Morianer.

4 And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came unto Jerusalem.

Og han indtog de faste Stæder, som hørte til Juda, og kom til Jerusalem.

5 Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.

Da kom Semaja, Profeten, til Roboam og til de Øverste i Juda, som havde samlet sig til Jerusalem for Sisaks Skyld, og sagde til dem: Saa sagde Herren: I have forladt mig, og jeg har derfor overladt eder i Sisaks Haand.

6 Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous.

Da ydmygede de Øverste udi Israel sig tillige med Kongen, og de sagde: Herren er retfærdig.

7 And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; I will not destroy them: but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

Og der Herren saa, at de ydmygede sig, da skete Herrens Ord til Semaja og sagde: De have ydmyget sig, jeg vil ikke ødelægge dem; men om en kort Tid vil jeg lade dem undkomme, og min Fortørnelse skal ikke udøses over Jerusalem ved Sisak.

8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.

Dog skulle de vorde hans Tjenere, at de kunne fornemme, hvad det er at tjene mig og at tjene Landenes Riger.

9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house; he took all away: he took away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

Saa drog Sisak, Kongen af Ægypten, op imod Jerusalem, og han tog Liggendefæet i Herrens Hus og Liggendefæet i Kongens Hus, han tog alting bort; og han tog de Skjolde af Guld, som Salomo havde ladet gøre.

10 And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, that kept the door of the king’s house.

Og Kong Roboam lod gøre Kobberskjolde i deres Sted og betroede dem i de øverste Drabanters Haand, som toge Vare paa Døren for Kongens Hus.

11 And it was so, that as oft as the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and bare them, and brought them back into the guard chamber.

Og det skete, saa tidt Kongen gik ind i Herrens Hus, da kom Drabanterne og bare dem ud, og de bare dem tilbage i Drabanternes Kammer.

12 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and moreover in Judah there were good things [found].

Og da han ydmygede sig, blev Herrens Vrede vendt af fra ham, thi han vilde ikke ødelægge ham aldeles; thi der var ogsaa nogle gode Ting i Juda.

13 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.

Og Kong Roboam befæstede sig i Jerusalem og regerede; thi Roboam var et og fyrretyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede sytten Aar i Jerusalem, i den Stad, som Herren af alle Israels Stammer havde udvalgt for der at sætte sit Navn; og hans Moders Navn var Naema, den ammonitiske.

14 And he did that which was evil, because he set not his heart to seek the LORD.

Og han gjorde det, som var ondt; thi han beredte ikke sit Hjerte til at søge Herren.

15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the manner of genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

Men Roboams Handeler, de første og de sidste, ere de ikke skrevne i Profeten Semajas Krønikers Bog og hos Seeren Iddo, hvor han opregner Slægtregistrene? og der var Krige imellem Roboam og Jeroboam alle Dage.

16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.

Og Roboam laa med sine Fædre, og blev begraven i Davids Stad; og Abia, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.
