1 Kongebok 11
1 Kong Salomo hadde mange utlendske kvinnor som han elska - umfram dotter åt Farao; moabitiske, ammonitiske, edomitiske, sidoniske, hetitiske,
But king Solomon loved many strange women, beside the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, 'Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites.
2 kvinnor av dei heidningfolki som Herren hadde åtvara Israels-sønerne imot og sagt: «De skal ikkje hava noko med deim, og ikkje dei med dykk; elles kjem dei visseleg til å snu hjarta dykkar til sine gudar.» Salomo heldt seg til desse i elsk.
From the nations concerning which the Lord had said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in among them, nor shall they come in among you; surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: unto these Solomon did cleave to love them.
3 Han hadde sju hundrad konor av fyrsteætt og tri hundrad fylgjekonor, og konorne vende hjarta hans.
And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.
4 Ja, då Salomo vart gamall, drog dei hjarta hans til andre gudar, so hjarta hans var ikkje heilt med Herren hans Gud, soleis som hjarta åt David, far hans.
And it came to pass, at the time that Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not undivided with the Lord his God, like the heart of David his father.
5 Og Salomo fylgde Astarte, sidoniarguden, og Milkom, styggedomen åt ammonitarne.
And Solomon went after 'Ashtoreth the divinity of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the 'Ammonites.
6 Soleis gjorde Salomo det som var vondt i Herrens augo, og fylgde ikkje Herren i eit og alt som David, far hans.
And Solomon did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, and went not fully after the Lord, like David his father.
7 Salomo bygde då ein offerhaug på berget austanfor Jerusalem åt Kamos, styggedomen åt Moab, og for Molek, styggedomen åt Ammons-sønerne.
Then did Solomon build a high-place for Kemosh, the abomination of Moab, on the mount that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of 'Ammon.
8 Og det same gjorde han for alle dei utlendske konorne sine, so dei fekk brenna røykjelse og ofra til gudarne sine.
And so did he for all his strange wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.
9 Då vart Herren harm på Salomo, for di han hadde vendt hjarta sitt burt ifrå Herren, Israels Gud, som hadde openberra seg for honom tvo gonger
And the Lord was angry with Solomon; because his heart was turned away from the Lord the God of Israel, who had appeared unto him twice;
10 og gjeve honom eit serskilt bod um dette, at han ikkje skulde fylgja andre gudar; men han hadde ikkje agta på Herrens bod.
And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he did not keep that which the Lord had commanded.
11 Difor sagde Herren til Salomo: «Etter di du er komen på dette, og ikkje hev halde pakti mi og loverne mine, som eg hev gjeve deg, vil eg riva riket ifrå deg og gjeva det til tenaren din.
And the Lord said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is in thy mind, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I commanded concerning thee: I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.
12 Men for David, far din, skuld vil eg ikkje gjera dette i di tid; eg riv det or handi på son din.
Nevertheless in thy days will I not do it, for the sake of David thy father; [but] out of the hand of thy son will I rend it.
13 Heile riket vil eg like vel ikkje riva ifrå honom. Eitt fylke vil eg gjeva son din for David, far din, skuld og for Jerusalem skuld, som eg hev valt ut.»
Still all the kingdom will I not rend away: one tribe will I give to thy son on account of David my servant, and on account of Jerusalem which I have chosen.
14 Og Herren vekte upp ein motmann imot Salomo; edomiten Hadad; han var av kongsætti i Edom.
And the Lord stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom.
15 Då David var i Edom, og herhovdingen Joab for upp og skulde gravleggja dei falne og med det same slo i hel alt som mann var i Edom
It came to pass, namely, when David was in Edom, when Joab the captain of the army was gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom;
16 - for Joab og heile Israel vart verande der i seks månader, til dess han hadde rudt ut alt som mann var i Edom -
(For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom: )
17 då rømde denne Hadad, han sjølv og nokre edomitiske menner, som hadde vore i tenesta hjå far hans, og tok vegen til Egyptarland. Hadad var den gong ein liten gut.
That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt; but Hadad was then yet a young lad.
18 Og dei drog ut frå Midjan og kom til Paran; frå Paran tok dei med seg nokre menner og kom til Egyptarland til Farao, egyptarkongen; han gav honom eit hus og rettleide honom med upphald og let honom få jord.
And they arose from Midian, and came to Paran; and they took [some] men with them from Paran, and came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt; who gave him a house, and decreed him a support, and gave him land.
19 Hadad fann stor godvilje hjå Farao, so han gav honom til kona syster åt kona si, syster åt dronning Tahpenes.
And Hadad found great favor in the eyes of Pharaoh, so that he gave him for wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Thachpeness the queen.
20 Og denne syster åt Tahpenes fødde sonen Genubat åt honom; Tahpenes vande honom av i huset åt Farao, og Genubat vart verande i huset der med sønerne åt Farao.
And the sister of Thachpeness bore him Genubath his son, whom Thachpeness brought up in Pharaoh's house; and Genubath remained in Pharaoh's house among the sons of Pharaoh.
21 Men då Hadad høyrde i Egyptarland, at David hadde lagt seg til kvile hjå federne sine, og at Joab, stridshovdingen, var avliden, so sagde Hadad til Farao: «Slepp meg no, so eg kann fara heim til landet mitt!»
And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the army was dead: Hadad said to Pharaoh, Dismiss me, that I may go to my own country.
22 Farao sagde til honom: «Kva saknar du her hjå meg, sidan du vil fara heim til landet ditt?» Han svara: «Ingen ting; men du må plent lata meg fara.»
Then said Pharaoh unto him, But what dost thou lack with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thy own country? And he answered, Nothing: nevertheless thou must let me go away.
23 Gud vekte upp ein motmann til imot Salomo: Rezon Eljadason; han var rømd ifrå herren sin, Hadadezer, kongen i Soba.
And God stirred him up [another] adversary, Rezon the son of Elyada', who had fled from Hadad'ezer the king of Zobah his lord;
24 Der samla han ein flokk um seg, den gong David slo folket i hel, og vart røvarhovding; dei drog av til Damaskus, slo seg ned der og styrde i Damaskus.
And he gathered around him some men, and became captain over a band, when David slew those [of Zobah]; and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus.
25 Han vart ein motmann imot Israel so lenge Salomo livde, og skadde det, både han og Hadad; han hata Israel og vart konge yver Syria.
And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, beside the mischief that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.
26 Ein av mennerne åt Salomo heitte Jerobeam; han var son åt Nebat, ein efraimit frå Sereda; mor hans heitte Serua og var enkja. Og han gjorde uppreist mot kongen.
Also Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zeredah, the name of whose mother was Zeru'ah, a widow woman, was a servant of Solomon, and he lifted up his hand against the king.
27 Grunnen til at han lyfte hand imot kongen, var dette: Salomo bygde Millo og sette stengsla for opningi til byen åt David, far sin.
And this was the occasion that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built up the Millo, and closed up the breach of the city of David his father.
28 No var Jerobeam ein dugande kar, og då Salomo såg at han var drivande i arbeidet sitt, sette han honom til tilsynsmann yver alt arbeidet som Josefs hus hadde på seg.
And the man Jerobo'am was a mighty man of valor: and Solomon seeing the young man that he was [also] an industrious worker, he appointed him over all the charge of the house of Joseph.
29 So hende det ein gong ved det leitet, at Jerobeam var gjengen ut or Jerusalem, og at profeten Ahia frå Silo råka honom på vegen. Han hadde på seg ei ny kåpa, og dei var tvo-eine på marki.
And it came to pass at that time when Jerobo'am went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Achiyah the Shilonite found him on the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and these two were alone by themselves in the field;
30 Då tok Ahia den nye kåpa han hadde på seg, og reiv henne i tolv stykke.
And Achiyah caught hold of the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces;
31 Og han sagde til Jerobeam: «Tak deg ti stykke! For so segjer Herren, Israels Gud: «Sjå, eg vil riva riket ut or handi på Salomo og gjeva deg ti av ætterne;
And he said to Jerobo'am, Take thee ten pieces; for thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and I will give to thee the ten tribes;
32 men den eine ætti skal han få hava for David skuld, tenaren min, og for Jerusalem skuld, den byen eg hev valt millom alle Israels fylke.
But the one tribe shall remain for him, on account of my servant David, and on account of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel;
33 Det skal ganga so, for di dei hev vike ifrå meg og bede til Astarte, sidonarguden, til Kamos, Moabs-guden, og til Milkom, ammonitarguden, og ikkje gjenge mine vegar, ikkje gjort det som rett er i mine augo, eller halde loverne mine og bodi mine, soleis som David, far hans, gjorde.
For the cause that they have forsaken me, and have bowed down to 'Ashtoreth the divinity of the Zidonians, to Kemosh the god of Moab, and to Milcom the god of the children of 'Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do what is right in my eyes, and my statutes and my ordinances, like David his father.
34 Eg vil like vel ikkje taka noko av riket ifrå honom sjølv, men lata honom vera fyrste so lenge han liver, for David skuld, tenaren min, han som eg valde ut, og som agta på bodi og loverne mine.
Nevertheless will I not take the whole kingdom out of his hand; but I will let him remain prince all the days of his life for the sake of David my servant, whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes;
35 Men ifrå son hans vil eg taka riket, og gjeva deg det, dei ti ætterne, meiner eg;
But I will take the kingdom out of the hand of his son, and I will give it unto thee, even the ten tribes.
36 son hans vil eg gjeva ein av ætterne, so tenaren min, David, alle dagar må hava ei lampa framfor mi åsyn i Jerusalem, den byen som eg hev valt meg ut til bustad for namnet mitt.
And unto his son will I give one tribe; so that there may remain a government for David my servant at all times before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for me, to put my name there.
37 Deg vil eg då kåra, du skal råda yver alt du hev hug til, og vera konge yver Israel.
But thee will I take, and thou shalt reign over all that thy soul may long for; and thou shalt be king over Israel.
38 Og lyder du alt som eg byd deg, og gjeng mine vegar og gjer det som rett er i mine augo, so du held loverne mine og bodi mine, soleis som David, tenaren min, gjorde, so vil eg vera med deg og byggja deg eit hus som stend fast, soleis som eg bygde for David, og gjeva deg Israel.
And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I shall command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do what is right in my eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did: that I will be with thee, and build thee a permanent house, as I have built for David, and I will give Israel unto thee.
39 Og Davids ætt vil eg mykja for dette, men like vel ikkje for alltid.»»
And I will afflict the seed of David for this; but not for all times.
40 Salomo freista å taka livet av Jerobeam; men Jerobeam reis upp og rømde undan til Egyptarland til egyptarkongen Sisak, og han vart verande i Egyptarland til Salomo døydde.
Solomon thereupon sought to put Jerobo'am to death; but Jerobo'am arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak the king of Egypt, and remained in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
41 Det som elles er å fortelja um Salomo og alt det han gjorde, og um visdomen hans, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Salomo.
And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did and his wisdom, behold, they are written in the book of the history of Solomon.
42 Den tid Salomo var konge i Jerusalem yver heile Israel, var fyrti år.
And the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel were forty years.
43 So lagde Salomo seg til kvile hjå federne sine og vart gravlagd i byen åt David, far sin, og Rehabeam, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father; and Rehobo'am his son became king in his stead.
