1 Kongebok 11
1 Kong Salomo hadde mange utlendske kvinnor som han elska - umfram dotter åt Farao; moabitiske, ammonitiske, edomitiske, sidoniske, hetitiske,
Now King Solomon loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, 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.
of the nations concerning which the LORD said to the children of Israel, “You shall not go amongst them, neither shall they come amongst you, for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods.” Solomon joined to these in love.
3 Han hadde sju hundrad konor av fyrsteætt og tri hundrad fylgjekonor, og konorne vende hjarta hans.
He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines. His wives turned his heart away.
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.
When Solomon was old, his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father was.
5 Og Salomo fylgde Astarte, sidoniarguden, og Milkom, styggedomen åt ammonitarne.
For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, 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.
Solomon did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and didn’t go fully after the LORD, as David his father did.
7 Salomo bygde då ein offerhaug på berget austanfor Jerusalem åt Kamos, styggedomen åt Moab, og for Molek, styggedomen åt Ammons-sønerne.
Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the mountain 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.
So he did for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to 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
The LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to 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 didn’t keep that which the LORD 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.
Therefore the LORD said to Solomon, “Because this is done by you, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your 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, I will not do it in your days, for David your father’s sake; but I will tear it out of your son’s hand.
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.»
However, I will not tear away all the kingdom; but I will give one tribe to your son, for David my servant’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake which I have chosen.”
14 Og Herren vekte upp ein motmann imot Salomo; edomiten Hadad; han var av kongsætti i Edom.
The LORD raised up an adversary to Solomon: Hadad the Edomite. He was one of the king’s offspring 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
For when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the army had gone up to bury the slain, and had struck 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 Joab and all Israel remained there six months, 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.
Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father’s servants with him, to go into Egypt, when Hadad was still a little child.
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.
They arose out of Midian and came to Paran; and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, and appointed him food, 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.
Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes 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.
The sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh’s house amongst 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!»
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, “Let me depart, 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 Pharaoh said to him, “But what have you lacked with me, that behold, you seek to go to your own country?” He answered, “Nothing, however only let me depart.”
23 Gud vekte upp ein motmann til imot Salomo: Rezon Eljadason; han var rømd ifrå herren sin, Hadadezer, kongen i Soba.
God raised up an adversary to him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord, Hadadezer king of Zobah.
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.
He gathered men to himself, and became captain over a troop, when David killed them of Zobah. They went to Damascus and lived there, 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.
He was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, in addition to the mischief of Hadad. 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.
Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow, also 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.
This was the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breach of his father David’s city.
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.
The man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour; and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he put him in charge of all the labour 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.
At that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the way. Now Ahijah had clad himself with a new garment; and the two of them were alone in the field.
30 Då tok Ahia den nye kåpa han hadde på seg, og reiv henne i tolv stykke.
Ahijah took the new garment that was on him, and tore 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;
He said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces; for the LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and will give ten tribes to you
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 he shall have one tribe, for my servant David’s sake and for Jerusalem’s sake, 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.
because they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon. They have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my ordinances, as David his father did.
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.
“‘However, I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant’s sake 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 his son’s hand and will give it to you, even 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.
I will give one tribe to his son, that David my servant may have a lamp always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for myself 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.
I will take you, and you shall reign according to all that your soul desires, and shall 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.
It shall be, if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do that which is right in my eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, that I will be with you, and will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.
39 Og Davids ætt vil eg mykja for dette, men like vel ikkje for alltid.»»
I will afflict the offspring of David for this, but not forever.’”
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.
Therefore Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam arose and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was 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.
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, aren’t they written in the book of the acts of Solomon?
42 Den tid Salomo var konge i Jerusalem yver heile Israel, var fyrti år.
The time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was 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.
Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in his father David’s city; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
