Første Kongebog 14
1 Ved den Tid blev Jeroboams Søn Abija syg.
In that time Abijah, the son of Jeroboam, became ill.
2 Da sagde Jeroboam til sin Hustru: "Tag og forklæd dig, så man ikke kan kende, at du er Jeroboams Hustru, og begiv dig til Silo, thi der bor Profeten Ahija, som kundgjorde mig, at jeg skulde blive Konge over dette Folk;
And Jeroboam said to his wife: “Rise up, and change clothing, so that you will not be recognized to be the wife of Jeroboam. And go to Shiloh, where the prophet Ahijah is, who said to me that I should reign over this people.
3 tag ti Brød, noget Bagværk og en Krukke Honning med og henvend dig til ham, så vil han sige dig, hvorledes det skal gå Drengen!"
Also, take in your hand ten loaves, and dried bread, and a container of honey, and go to him. For he will reveal to you what will happen to this boy.”
4 Jeroboams Hustru gjorde nu således; hun begav sig til Silo og gik ind i Ahijas Hus. Ahija kunde ikke se, da hans Øjne var sløve af Alderdom;
The wife of Jeroboam did just as he had said. And rising up, she went away to Shiloh. And she arrived at the house of Ahijah. But he was unable to see, because his eyes had dimmed due to old age.
5 men HERREN havde sagt til Ahija: "Se, Jeroboams Hustru kommer til dig for at høre sig for hos dig angående sin Søn, da han er syg; det og det skal du svare hende; men når hun kommer, er hun forklædt."
Then the Lord said to Ahijah: “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam enters, so that she may consult you over her son, who is ill. You shall say one thing and another to her.” Therefore, as she was entering, not presenting herself to be who she was,
6 Da nu Ahija hørte Lyden af hendes Trin, som hun gik ind ad Døren, sagde han: "Kom kun ind, Jeroboams Hustru! Hvorfor er du forklædt? Mig er det pålagt at bringe dig en tung Tidende.
Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, entering through the door. And he said: “Enter, O wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be someone you are not? But I have been sent to you with harsh news.
7 Gå hen og sig til Jeroboam: Så siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Jeg ophøjede dig af Folkets Midte og gjorde dig til Fyrste over mit Folk Israel
Go, and tell Jeroboam: ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Although I exalted you from the midst of the people, and I granted to you to be the leader over my people Israel,
8 og rev Riget fra Davids Hus og gav dig det; dog har du ikke været som min Tjener David, der holdt mine Bud og fulgte mig af hele sit Hjerte og kun gjorde, hvad der er ret i mine Øjne,
and I tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and I gave it to you, yet you have not been like David, my servant, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with his whole heart, doing what was pleasing in my sight.
9 men du har handlet værre end alle dine Forgængere; du gik hen og krænkede mig og gjorde dig andre Guder og støbte Billeder, men mig kastede du bag din Ryg;
Instead, you have worked evil beyond all those who were before you. And you have made for yourself strange gods and molten images, so that you provoke me to anger. And you have cast me behind your back.
10 se, derfor vil jeg bringe Ulykke over Jeroboams Hus og udrydde hvert mandligt Væsen, hver og en af Jeroboams Slægt i Israel, og jeg vil feje Jeroboams Hus bort, som man fejer Skarn bort, til der ikke er Spor tilbage!
For this reason, behold, I will lead evils over the house of Jeroboam, and I will strike down from Jeroboam that which urinates against a wall, and that which is lame, and that which is last in Israel. And I will cleanse that which remains of the house of Jeroboam, just as dung is usually cleaned away, until there is purity.
11 Den af Jeroboams Slægt, som dør i Byen, skal Hundene æde, og den, som dør på Marken, skal Himmelens Fugle æde, thi det er HERREN, der har talet!
Those who will have died of Jeroboam in the city, the dogs will devour them. And those who will have died in the field, the birds of the heavens will devour them. For the Lord has spoken.’
12 Men gå nu hjem! Når din Fod betræder Byen, skal Barnet dø;
Therefore, you must rise up, and go to your house. And in the city, at the very entrance of your feet, the boy will die.
13 og hele Israel skal holde Dødeklage over ham og jorde ham, thi han er den eneste af Jeroboams Slægt, der skal komme i en Grav; thi hos ham fandtes dog noget, der vandt HERREN Israels Guds Behag inden for Jeroboams Slægt.
And all of Israel will mourn him, and will bury him. For he alone of Jeroboam shall be brought into a sepulcher. For concerning him, there has been found a good word from the Lord, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
14 Men HERREN vil oprejse sig en Konge over Israel, der skal udrydde Jeroboams Hus på den Dag.
But the Lord has appointed for himself a king over Israel, who will strike down the house of Jeroboam, in this day and in this time.
15 Men også siden vil HERREN slå Israel, så at de svajer hid og did som Sivet i Vandet, og rykke Israel op fra dette herlige Land, som han gav deres Fædre, og sprede dem hinsides Floden, fordi de har lavet sig Asjerastøtter og krænket HERREN;
And the Lord God shall strike Israel, just as a reed is usually shaken in the water. And he will uproot Israel from this good land, which he gave to their fathers. And he will winnow them beyond the river. For they have made for themselves sacred groves, so that they have provoked the Lord.
16 og han vil give Israel til Pris for de Synders Skyld, Jeroboam har begået og forledt Israel til."
And the Lord will hand over Israel, because of the sins of Jeroboam, who has sinned and caused Israel to sin.”
17 Da gav Jeroboams Hustru sig på Vej og kom til Tirza; og da hun betrådte Husets Tærskel, døde Drengen;
And so, the wife of Jeroboam rose up, and she went away. And she arrived at Tirzah. And as she was entering the threshold of the house, the boy died.
18 og man jordede ham, og hele Israel holdt Dødeklage over ham efter det Ord, HERREN havde talet ved sin Tjener, Profeten Ahija.
And they buried him, and all of Israel mourned for him, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of his servant Ahijah, the prophet.
19 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jeroboam, hvorledes han førte Krig, og hvorledes han herskede står jo optegnet i Israels kongers Krønike.
Now the rest of the words of Jeroboam, the manner in which he fought, and the manner in which he reigned, behold, these were written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel.
20 Jeroboams Regeringstid udgjorde to og tyve År. Så lagde han sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og hans Søn Nadab blev Konge i hans Sted.
And the days during which Jeroboam reigned were twenty-two years. And he slept with his fathers. And Nadab, his son, reigned in his place.
21 Rehabeam, Salomos Søn, blev Kongei Juda. 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.
Now Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that the Lord chose, out of all the tribes of Israel, so that he might place his name there. And the name of his mother was Naamah, an Ammonite.
22 Og Juda gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, og med de Synder, de begik, vakte de hans Nidkærhed, mere end deres Fædre havde gjort.
And Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they provoked him beyond all that their fathers had done, by their sins that they committed.
23 Også de byggede sig Offerhøje, Stenstøtter og Asjerastøtter på alle høje Steder og under alle grønne Træer;
For they, too, built for themselves altars, and statues, and sacred groves, upon every high hill and under every leafy tree.
24 ja, der var endog Mandsskøger i Landet. De øvede alle de Vederstyggeligheder, som var begået af de Folk, HERREN havde drevet bort foran Israeliterne.
Moreover, the effeminate were in the land, and they committed all the abominations of the peoples that the Lord had destroyed before the face of the sons of Israel.
25 Men i Kong Rebabeams femte Regeringsår drog Ægypterkongen Sjisjak op imod Jerusalem
Then, in the fifth year of the reign of Rehoboam, Shishak, the king of Egypt, ascended against Jerusalem.
26 og tog Skattene i HERRENs Hus og i Kongens Palads; alt tog han, også de Guldskjolde, Salomo havde ladet lave.
And he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the royal treasures, and he plundered everything, including the shields of gold that Solomon had made.
27 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;
In place of these, king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and he delivered them into the hand of the commanders of the shield bearers, and of those who were keeping the night watch before the gate of the king’s house.
28 og hver Gang Kongen begav sig til HERRENs Hus, bentede Livvagten dem, og bagefter bragte de dem tilbage til Vagtstuen.
And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, these were carried by those who held the office to go before him. And afterward, they carried them back to the armory of the shield bearers.
29 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Rehabeam, alt, hvad han gjorde, står jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.
Now the rest of the words of Rehoboam, and all that he did, behold, these were written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah.
30 Rehabeam og Jeroboam lå i Krig med hinanden hele Tiden.
And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam, during all the days.
31 Så lagde Rehabeam sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet hos sine Fædre i Davidsbyen. Hans Moder var en ammonitisk Kvinde ved Navn Na'ama. Og hans Søn Abija blev Konge i hans Sted.
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David. And his mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonite. And his son Abijam reigned in his place.
