Anden Krønikebog 12

1 Men da Rehabeams Kongedømme var grundfæstet og hans Magt styrket, forlod han tillige med hele Israel HERRENs Lov.

And it comes to pass, at the establishing of the kingdom of Rehoboam, and at his strengthening himself, he has forsaken the Law of YHWH, and all Israel with him.

2 Da drog i Kong Rehabeams femte Regeringsår Ægypterkongen Sjisjak op imod Jerusalem, fordi de havde været troløse mod HERREN,

And it comes to pass, in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt has come up against Jerusalem—because they trespassed against YHWH—

3 med 1200 Stridsvogne og 60.000 Ryttere, og der var ikke Tal på Krigerne, der drog med ham fra Ægypten, Libyere, Sukkijiter og Ætiopere;

with one thousand and two hundred chariots, and with sixty thousand horsemen, and there is no number to the people who have come with him out of Egypt—Lubim, Sukkiim, and Cushim—

4 og efter at have indtaget Fæstningerne i Juda drog han mod Jerusalem.

and he captures the cities of the bulwarks that [are] of Judah, and comes to Jerusalem.

5 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!"

And Shemaiah the prophet has come to Rehoboam and the heads of Judah who have been gathered to Jerusalem [to escape] from the presence of Shishak, and says to them, “Thus said YHWH: You have forsaken Me, and also, I have left you in the hand of Shishak”;

6 Da ydmygede Israels Øverster og Kongen sig og sagde: "HERREN er retfærdig!"

and the heads of Israel are humbled—and the king—and they say, “YHWH [is] righteous.”

7 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;

And when YHWH sees that they have been humbled, a word of YHWH has been [sent] to Shemaiah, saying, “They have been humbled; I do not destroy them, and I have given to them as a little thing for an escape, and I do not pour out My fury in Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak;

8 men de skal komme til at stå under ham og lære at kende Forskellen mellem at tjene mig og at tjene Hedningemagterne!"

but they become servants to him, and they know My service, and the service of the kingdoms of the lands.”

9 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.

And Shishak king of Egypt comes up against Jerusalem, and takes the treasures of the house of YHWH and the treasures of the house of the king—he has taken the whole—and he takes the shields of gold that Solomon had made;

10 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;

and King Rehoboam makes shields of bronze in their stead, and has given [them] a charge on the hand of the heads of the runners who are keeping the opening of the house of the king;

11 og hver Gang Kongen begav sig til HERRENs Hus, kom Livvagten og hentede dem, og bagefter bragte de dem tilbage til Vagtstuen.

and it comes to pass, from the time of the going in of the king to the house of YHWH, the runners have come in and lifted them up, and brought them back to the chamber of the runners.

12 Men da han havde ydmyget sig, vendfe HERRENs Vrede sig fra ham, så han ikke helt tilintetgjorde ham; også i Juda var Forholdene gode.

And in his being humbled, the wrath of YHWH has turned back from him, so as not to destroy to completion; and also, there have been good things in Judah.

13 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.

And King Rehoboam strengthens himself in Jerusalem and reigns; for Rehoboam [is] a son of forty-two years in his reigning, and he has reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that YHWH has chosen to put His Name there, out of all the tribes of Israel, and the name of his mother [is] Naamah the Ammonitess,

14 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt, thi hans Hjerte var ikke vendt til at søge HERREN.

and he does evil, for he has not prepared his heart to seek YHWH.

15 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.

And the matters of Rehoboam, the first and the last, are they not written among the matters of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer, concerning genealogy? And the wars of Rehoboam and Jeroboam [are for] all the days;

16 Så lagde Rehabeam sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i Davidsbyen. Og hans Søn Abija blev Konge i hans Sted.

and Rehoboam lies with his fathers, and is buried in the City of David, and his son Abijah reigns in his stead.
