< 1 Koenige 11 >

1 Aber der König Salomo liebte viel ausländischer Weiber: die Tochter Pharaos und moabitische, ammonitische, edomitische, zidonitische und hethitische,
King Solomon married many foreign women. First he married the daughter of the king of Egypt. He also married women from the Heth people-group and from the Moab, Ammon, and Edom people-groups, and from Sidon [city].
2 von solchen Völkern, davon der HERR gesagt hatte den Kindern Israel: Gehet nicht zu ihnen und lasset sie nicht zu euch kommen; sie werden gewiß eure Herzen neigen ihren Göttern nach. An diesen hing Salomo mit Liebe.
He married them even though Yahweh had commanded the Israeli people, “Do not marry people from those areas, because if you do that, they will surely persuade you [IDM] to worship the gods that they worship!”
3 Und er hatte siebenhundert Weiber zu Frauen und dreihundert Kebsweiber; und seine Weiber neigeten sein Herz.
Solomon married 700 women who were kings’ daughters. He also had 300 wives who were his slaves/servants. And his wives caused him to turn away [from worshiping God].
4 Und da er nun alt war, neigeten seine Weiber sein Herz fremden Göttern nach, daß sein Herz nicht ganz war mit dem HERRN, seinem Gott, wie das Herz seines Vaters David.
By the time that Solomon became old, they had persuaded him to worship the gods from their countries. He was not completely dedicated/committed to Yahweh his God like his father [SYN] David had been.
5 Also wandelte Salomo Asthoreth, dem Gott derer von Zidon nach, und Milkom, dem Greuel der Ammoniter.
Solomon worshiped Astarte, the goddess that the people of Sidon [worshiped], and he worshiped Molech, the disgusting god that the Ammon people-group [worshiped].
6 Und Salomo tat, das dem HERRN übel gefiel, und folgte nicht gänzlich dem HERRN wie sein Vater David.
That’s how Solomon did things that Yahweh said were evil. He did not conduct his life like his father David had done; he did not conduct his life as Yahweh wanted him to.
7 Da bauete Salomo eine Höhe Kamos, dem Greuel der Moabiter, auf dem Berge, der vor Jerusalem liegt, und Molech, dem Greuel der Ammoniter.
On the hill to the east of Jerusalem he built a place to worship Chemosh, the disgusting god that the Moab people-group [worshiped], and a place to worship Molech, the disgusting god that the Ammon people-group [worshiped].
8 Also tat Salomo allen seinen ausländischen Weibern, die ihren Göttern räucherten und opferten.
He also built places where all his foreign wives could burn incense and offer sacrifices to the gods from their own countries.
9 Der HERR aber ward zornig über Salomo, daß sein Herz von dem HERRN, dem Gott Israels, geneiget war, der ihm zweimal erschienen war
Even though Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worshiped], had appeared to Solomon two times, and had commanded him to not worship foreign gods, Solomon refused to obey Yahweh. So Yahweh was angry with Solomon,
10 und ihm solches geboten hatte, daß er nicht andern Göttern nachwandelte, und doch er nicht gehalten hatte, was ihm der HERR geboten hatte.
11 Darum sprach der HERR zu Salomo: Weil solches bei dir geschehen ist und hast meinen Bund und meine Gebote nicht gehalten, die ich dir geboten habe, so will ich auch das Königreich von dir reißen und deinem Knechte geben.
and said to him, “You have chosen to break the agreement that I made with you and to disobey what I commanded you. So I am surely not going to allow you to rule all of your kingdom. I am going to allow one of your officials to rule it.
12 Doch bei deiner Zeit will ich's nicht tun um deines Vaters David willen, sondern von der Hand deines Sohnes will ich's reißen.
But, because of [what I promised] your father David, I will allow you to rule all your kingdom while you are still [living]. [After you die], I will not allow your son to rule the whole kingdom [MTY].
13 Doch will ich nicht das ganze Reich abreißen. Einen Stamm will ich deinem Sohne gehen um Davids willen, meines Knechts, und um Jerusalems willen, die ich erwählet habe.
But I will not take all the kingdom away from him. Instead, I will allow him to rule one tribe [besides the tribe of Judah], because of what I promised to David, who served me [well], and because [I want David’s descendants to rule in] Jerusalem, [where my temple is located].”
14 Und der HERR erweckte Salomo einen Widersacher, Hadad, den Edomiter, von königlichem Samen, welcher war in Edom.
Yahweh caused Hadad, from the family of the kings in the Edom people-group, to rebel against Solomon.
15 Denn da David in Edom war und Joab, der Feldhauptmann, hinaufzog, die Erschlagenen zu begraben, schlug er, was Mannsbilde war, in Edom.
What happened was that previously, when David’s [army] had conquered the Edom people-group, his army commander Joab had gone there to [help] bury the [Israeli soldiers] who had been killed [in the battle]. Joab and his army remained in the Edom area for six months, and during that time they killed all the males of that area.
16 Denn Joab blieb sechs Monden daselbst und das ganze Israel, bis er ausrottete alles, was Mannsbilde war in Edom.
17 Da floh Hadad und mit ihm etliche Männer der Edomiter von seines Vaters Knechten, daß sie nach Ägypten kämen. Hadad aber war ein junger Knabe.
Hadad was a young child [at that time], and he had escaped to Egypt, along with some of his father’s servants from the Edom area.
18 Und sie machten sich auf von Midian und kamen gen Paran; und nahmen Leute mit sich aus Paran und kamen nach Ägypten zu Pharao, dem Könige in Ägypten; der gab ihm ein Haus und Nahrung und gab ihm ein Land ein.
They [went to the] Midian [region], and then they went to [the desert area at] Paran. Some other men joined them there. Then they all traveled to Egypt and went to see the king of Egypt. The king gave Hadad some land and ordered his servants to give him some food regularly.
19 Und Hadad fand große Gnade vor dem Pharao, daß er ihm auch seines Weibes Thachpenes, der Königin, Schwester zum Weibe gab.
The king liked Hadad. As a result he gave him the sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, to be Hadad’s wife.
20 Und die Schwester Thachpenes gebar ihm Genubath, seinen Sohn; und Thachpenes zog ihn auf im Hause Pharaos, daß Genubath war im Hause Pharaos unter den Kindern Pharaos.
Later Hadad’s wife gave birth to a son named Genubath. The sister of Tahpenes (raised him/brought him up) in the palace, where he lived with the king’s sons.
21 Da nun Hadad hörete in Ägypten, daß David entschlafen war mit seinen Vätern, und daß Joab, der Feldhauptmann, tot war, sprach er zu Pharao: Laß mich in mein Land ziehen.
While Hadad was in Egypt, he heard that David had died [EUP], and that Joab, the commander of David’s army, was also dead. So he said to the king of Egypt, “Please allow me to return to my own country.”
22 Pharao sprach zu ihm: Was fehlet dir bei mir, daß du willst in dein Land ziehen? Er sprach: Nichts; aber laß mich ziehen!
But the king said to him, “Why do you want to go back to your country? Is there something that you lack that you want me to give to you?” Hadad replied, “No, but please just allow me to go.” [So the king allowed him to leave, and he returned to his own country and became the king of Edom].
23 Auch erweckte ihm Gott einen Widersacher, Reson, den Sohn Eljadas, der von seinem HERRN Hadadeser, dem Könige zu Zoba, geflohen war.
God also caused another man named Rezon, the son of Eliada, to rebel against Solomon. Rezon had run away from his master, King Hadadezer of [the] Zobah [area north of Damascus].
24 Und sammelte wider ihn Männer und ward ein Hauptmann der Kriegsknechte, da sie David erwürgete; und zogen gen Damaskus und wohneten daselbst und regierten zu Damaskus.
Rezon then became the leader of a group of outlaws. That happened after David’s [army had defeated Hadadezer and] had [also] killed all [his soldiers]. Rezon and his men went to Damascus and started to live there, and [the people there] appointed him to be their king.
25 Und er war Israels Widersacher, solange Salomo lebte. Das ist der Schade, den Hadad litt; darum hatte er einen Ekel wider Israel und ward König über Syrien.
All during the time that Solomon was alive, while Rezon was ruling [not only Damascus but all of] Syria, he was an enemy of Israel and caused trouble for Israel like Hadad did.
26 Dazu Jerobeam, der Sohn Nebats, ein Ephrater von Zareda, Salomos Knecht (und seine Mutter hieß Zeruga, eine Witwe), der hub auch die Hand auf wider den König.
Another man who rebelled against [IDM] Solomon was one of his officials named Jeroboam, the son of Nebat. He was from Zeredah [town] in [the region where the tribe of] Ephraim [lives]. His mother was a widow named Zeruah.
27 Und das ist die Sache, darum er die Hand wider den König aufhub: Da Salomo Millo bauete, verschloß er eine Lücke an der Stadt Davids, seines Vaters.
This is what happened. Solomon’s workers were filling in the land/ground on the east side of Jerusalem and repairing the walls [around the city].
28 Und Jerobeam war ein streitbarer Mann. Und da Salomo sah, daß der Knabe aufrichtig war, setzte er ihn über alle Last des Hauses Josephs.
Jeroboam was a very capable young man. So, when Solomon saw that he worked very hard, he appointed him to supervise all the men who were forced to work in the areas where the tribes of Manasseh and Ephraim live.
29 Es begab sich aber zu der Zeit, daß Jerobeam ausging von Jerusalem, und es traf ihn an der Prophet Ahia von Silo auf dem Wege, und hatte einen neuen Mantel an; und waren die beiden allein im Felde.
One day when Jeroboam was walking alone along the road outside of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh [city] met him. Ahijah was wearing a new robe,
30 Und Ahia fassete den neuen Mantel, den er anhatte, und riß ihn in zwölf Stücke.
which he took off and tore into twelve pieces.
31 Und sprach zu Jerobeam: Nimm zehn Stücke zu dir. Denn so spricht der HERR, der Gott Israels: Siehe, ich will das Königreich von der Hand Salomos reißen und dir zehn Stämme geben.
He said to Jeroboam, “Take ten of these pieces for yourself, because Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says to you, ‘I am going to tear the kingdom from Solomon, and I am going to enable you to become the ruler of ten of the tribes [of Israel].
32 Einen Stamm soll er haben um meines Knechts David willen und um der Stadt Jerusalem willen, die ich erwählet habe aus allen Stämmen Israels,
Solomon’s [descendants] will still rule one tribe (OR, two tribes), because of [what I promised] David, a man who served me [very well], and because of Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen from all the cities in Israel [to be the city where my people will worship me].
33 darum daß sie mich verlassen und angebetet haben Asthoreth, den Gott der Zidonier, Kamos, den Gott der Moabiter, und Milkom, den Gott der Kinder Ammon, und nicht gewandelt haben in meinen Wegen, daß sie täten, was mir wohlgefällt, meine Gebote und Rechte, wie David, sein Vater.
I am going to do this because Solomon has rejected me and has been worshiping Astarte, the goddess that the people of Sidon worship, Chemosh, the god that the Moab people-group worship, and Milcom, the god that the Ammon people-group worship. He has not conducted his life as I wanted him to. He has not obeyed my statutes and laws, like his father David did.
34 Ich will auch nicht das ganze Reich aus seiner Hand nehmen, sondern ich will ihn zum Fürsten machen sein Leben lang um David, meines Knechts, willen, den ich erwählet habe, der meine Gebote und Rechte gehalten hat.
‘But I will not take the entire kingdom away from him. I will enable him to rule [Judah] all during the years that he is alive. I will do that because of [what I promised to do for] David, whom I chose [to be the king], and who served me [well], and who always obeyed my commandments and laws.
35 Aus der Hand seines Sohns will ich das Königreich nehmen; und will dir zehn Stämme
But I will take the [other] ten tribes of his kingdom and give them to you [to rule].
36 und seinem Sohn einen Stamm geben, auf daß David, mein Knecht, vor mir eine Leuchte habe allewege in der Stadt Jerusalem, die ich mir erwählet habe, daß ich meinen Namen dahin stelle.
I will allow Solomon’s son to rule one tribe, in order that descendants [MET] of David will always rule in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen to be the place where [my people worship] me [MTY].
37 So will ich nun dich nehmen, daß du regierest über alles, was dein Herz begehret, und sollst König sein über Israel.
I will enable you to become the king of Israel, and you will rule over all the territory that you want to.
38 Wirst du nun gehorchen allem, das ich dir gebieten werde, und in meinen Wegen wandeln und tun, was mir gefällt, daß du haltest meine Rechte und Gebote, wie mein Knecht David getan hat, so will ich mit dir sein und dir ein beständig Haus bauen, wie ich David gebauet habe, und will dir Israel geben.
If you obey all that I command you to do, and conduct your life as I want you to, and if you do what I say is right by obeying my laws and commandments like David did, I will help you. I will make sure that your descendants will rule after you [die], like I [promised to] do for David.
39 Und will den Samen Davids um deswillen demütigen, doch nicht ewiglich.
Because of [Solomon’s sins], I will punish David’s descendants, but I will not continue to punish them forever.’”
40 Salomo aber trachtete, Jerobeam zu töten. Da machte sich Jerobeam auf und floh nach Ägypten zu Sisak, dem Könige in Ägypten; und blieb in Ägypten, bis daß Salomo starb.
Solomon [found out what Ahijah told Jeroboam], so he tried to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam escaped and went to Egypt. He went to Shishak, the king of Egypt, and stayed with him until after Solomon died.
41 Was mehr von Salomo zu sagen ist, und alles, was er getan hat, und seine Weisheit, das ist geschrieben in der Chronik von Salomo.
[A record of] all the other things that Solomon did, and all the wise things that he [said and wrote], was written in the Book Telling what Solomon Did.
42 Die Zeit aber, die Salomo König war zu Jerusalem über ganz Israel, ist vierzig Jahre.
He was the king in Jerusalem who ruled over all of Israel for 40 years.
43 Und Salomo entschlief mit seinen Vätern und ward begraben in der Stadt Davids, seines Vaters. Und sein Sohn Rehabeam ward König an seiner Statt.
Then Solomon died [EUP], and was buried in the [part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. And his son Rehoboam became the king.
