2 Chronicles 12
1 It came about, when Rehoboam's reign was established and he was strong, that he abandoned the law of Yahweh—and all Israel with him.
Men da Rehabeams Kongedømme var grundfæstet og hans Magt styrket, forlod han tillige med hele Israel HERRENs Lov.
2 It happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, that Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem, because the people had been unfaithful to Yahweh.
Da drog i Kong Rehabeams femte Regeringsår Ægypterkongen Sjisjak op imod Jerusalem, fordi de havde været troløse mod HERREN,
3 He came with twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. Soldiers without number came with him from Egypt: Libyans, Sukkites, and Cushites.
med 1200 Stridsvogne og 60.000 Ryttere, og der var ikke Tal på Krigerne, der drog med ham fra Ægypten, Libyere, Sukkijiter og Ætiopere;
4 He captured the fortified cities that belonged to Judah and came to Jerusalem.
og efter at have indtaget Fæstningerne i Juda drog han mod Jerusalem.
5 Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and to the leaders of Judah who had gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak. Shemaiah said to them, “This is what Yahweh says: You have forsaken me, so I have also given you over into Shishak's hand.”
Da kom Profeten Sjemaja til Rehabeam og Judas Øverster, som var tyet sammen i Jerusalem for Sjisjak, og sagde til dem: "Så siger HERREN: I har forladt mig, derfor har jeg også forladt eder og givet eder i Sjisjaks Hånd!"
6 Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, “Yahweh is righteous.”
Da ydmygede Israels Øverster og Kongen sig og sagde: "HERREN er retfærdig!"
7 When Yahweh saw that they had humbled themselves, the word of Yahweh came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves. I will not ruin them; I will rescue them to some extent, and my anger will not pour out on Jerusalem by means of Shishak's hand.
Og da HERREN så, at de havde ydmyget sig, kom HERRENs Ord til Sjemaja således: "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 Nevertheless, they will be his servants, so that they may understand what it is to serve me and to serve the rulers of the other countries.”
men de skal komme til at stå under ham og lære at kende Forskellen mellem at tjene mig og at tjene Hedningemagterne!"
9 So Shishak, king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem and took away the treasures in the house of Yahweh, and the treasures in the king's house. He took everything away; he also took the shields of gold that Solomon had made.
Så drog Sjisjak op mod Jerusalem og tog Skattene i HERRENs Hus og i Kongens Palads; alt tog han, også de Guldskjolde, Salomo havde ladet lave.
10 King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place and entrusted them into the hands of the commanders of the guard, who guarded the doors to the king's 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 It happened that whenever the king entered the house of Yahweh, the guards would carry them; then they would bring them back into the guardhouse.
og hver Gang Kongen begav sig til HERRENs Hus, kom Livvagten og hentede dem, og bagefter bragte de dem tilbage til Vagtstuen.
12 When Rehoboam humbled himself, Yahweh's anger turned away from him, so as not to destroy him completely; besides, there was still some good to be found in Judah.
Men da han havde ydmyget sig, vendfe HERRENs Vrede sig fra ham, så han ikke helt tilintetgjorde ham; også i Juda var Forholdene gode.
13 So King Rehoboam made his kingship strong in Jerusalem, and thus he reigned. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that Yahweh had chosen from all the tribes of Israel so that he might put his name there. His mother's name was Naamah the Ammonite woman.
Således styrkede Kong Rehabeam sin Magt i Jerusalem og blev ved at herske; thi Rehabeam var een og fyrretyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede sytten År 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 He did what was evil, because he did not fix his heart to seek Yahweh.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt, thi hans Hjerte var ikke vendt til at søge HERREN.
15 As for the other matters concerning Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the writings of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, which also have records of genealogies and the constant wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam?
Rehabeams Historie fra først til sidst står jo optegnet i Profeten Sjemajas og Seeren tddos Krønike. Rehabeam og Jeroboam lå i Krig med hinanden hele Tiden.
16 Rehoboam slept with his ancestors and was buried in the city of David; Abijah his son became king in his place.
Så lagde Rehabeam sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i Davidsbyen. Og hans Søn Abija blev Konge i hans Sted.
