¹Now king Solomon loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites;

¹Kong Salomo elskede foruden Faraos Datter mange fremmede Kvinder, moabitiske, ammonitiske, edomitiske, zidoniske og hetitiske Kvinder,

²of the nations concerning which Yahweh said to the children of Israel, “You shall not go among them, neither shall they come among you; for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods.” Solomon joined to these in love.

²Kvinder fra de Folkeslag, HERREN havde sagt om til Israeliterne: "I må ikke have med dem at gøre og de ikke med eder, ellers drager de eders Hjerte til deres Guder!" Ved dem hang Salomo i Kærlighed.

³He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart.

³Han havde 700 fyrsfelige Hustruer og 300 Medhustruer, og hans Hustruer drog hans Hjerte bort fra Herren.

⁴For it happened, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with Yahweh his God, as was the heart of David his father.

⁴Da Salomo blev gammel, drog hans Hustruer hans Hjerte til fremmede Guder, og hans Hjerte var ikke mere helt med HERREN hans Gud som hans fader Davids.

⁵For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

⁵Salomo holdt sig da til Astarte, Zidoniernes Gudinde, og til Milkom, Ammoniternes væmmelige Gud.

⁶Solomon did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and didn’t go fully after Yahweh, as did David his father.

⁶Således gjorde Salomo, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, og viste ikke HERREN fuld Lydighed som hans Fader David.

⁷Then 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.

⁷Ved den Tid byggede Salomo en Offerhøj for Kemosj, Moabs væmmelige Gud, på Bjerget østen for Jerusalem, og for Milkom, Ammoniternes væmmelige Gud;

⁸So he did for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods.

⁸og samme Hensyn viste han alle sine fremmede Hustruer, som tændte Offerild for deres Guder og ofrede til dem.

⁹Yahweh was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Yahweh, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,

⁹Da vrededes HERREN på Salomo, fordi han vendte sit Hjerte bort fra HERREN, Israels Gud, der dog to Gange havde ladet sig til Syne for ham

¹⁰and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he didn’t keep that which Yahweh commanded.

¹⁰og udtrykkelig havde påbudt ham ikke at holde sig til fremmede Guder; men han holdt ikke, hvad HERREN havde påbudt ham.

¹¹Therefore Yahweh 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.

¹¹Derfor sagde HERREN til Salomo: "Fordi det står således til med dig, og fordi du ikke har holdt min Pagt og mine Anordninger, som jeg pålagde dig, vil jeg visselig rive Riget fra dig og give din Træl det.

¹²Notwithstanding I will not do it in your days, for David your father’s sake; but I will tear it out of the hand of your son.

¹²Dog vil jeg ikke gøre det i din Levetid for din Fader Davids Skyld men jeg vil rive det ud af din Søns Hånd.

¹³However 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.”

¹³Kun vil jeg ikke rive hele Riget fra ham, men give din Søn en Stamme deraf for min Tjener Davids Skyld og for Jerusalems Skyld, den By, jeg udvalgte.

¹⁴Yahweh raised up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king’s seed in Edom.

¹⁴HERREN gav Salomo en Modstander i Edomiten Hadad af Kongeslægten i Edom.

¹⁵For it happened, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the army was gone up to bury the slain, and had struck every male in Edom

¹⁵Thi dengang David lod Edomiterne hugge ned, da Hærføreren Joab drog op for at jorde de faldne og hugge alle af Mandkøn ned i Edom -

¹⁶(for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom);

¹⁶Joab og hele Israel blev der i seks Måneder, til han havde udryddet alle af Mandkøn i Edom -

¹⁷that Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father’s servants with him, to go into Egypt, Hadad being yet a little child.

¹⁷da var Adad med nogle edomitiske Mænd af hans Faders Folk flygtet ad Ægypten til. Dengang var Hadad endnu en lille Dreng.

¹⁸They 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.

¹⁸De brød op fra Midjan og nåede Paran; og efter at have taget nogle Mænd fra Paran med sig drog de til Ægypten, hvor Farao, Ægypterkongen, overlod ham et Hus, tilsagde ham daglig Føde og gav ham Land.

¹⁹Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.

¹⁹Og da Farao fattede særlig Godhed for Hadad, gav han ham sin Svigerinde, en Søster til Dronning Takpenes, til Ægte.

²⁰The sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh’s house among the sons of Pharaoh.

²⁰Takpeness Søster fødte ham Sønnen Genubat; og da Takpenes havde vænnet Barnet fra i Faraos Hus, blev Genubat i Faraos Hus blandt Faraos egne Børn.

²¹When 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.”

²¹Da nu Hadad i Ægypten hørte, at David havde lagt sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og at Hærføreren Joab var død, sagde han til Farao: "Lad mig drage til mit Land!"

²²Then 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.”

²²Farao sagde til ham: "Hvad savner du her hos mig, siden du ønsker at drage til dit Land?" Men han svarede: "Å jo, lad mig nu rejse!" Så vendte Hadad tilbage til sit Land. Det var den ulykke, Hadad voldte: Han bragte Trængsel over Israel og blev Konge over Edom. -

²³God raised up an adversary to him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah.

²³Fremdeles gav Gud ham en Modstander i Rezon, Eljadas Søn, der var flygtet fra sin Herre, Kong Hadadezer af Zoba.

²⁴He gathered men to him, and became captain over a troop, when David killed them of Zobah: and they went to Damascus, and lived therein, and reigned in Damascus.

²⁴Han samlede en Del Mænd om sig og blev Høvding for en Friskare. Han indtog Damaskus, satte sig fast der og blev Konge i Damaskus.

²⁵He was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the mischief of Hadad: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.

²⁵Han var Israels Modstander, så længe Salomo levede.

²⁶Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow, he also lifted up his hand against the king.

²⁶Endvidere var der Efraimiten Jeroboam, Nebats Søn, fra Zereda, som stod i Salomos Tjeneste, og hvis Moder hed Zerua og var Enke; han løftede Hånd mod Kongen.

²⁷This was the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breach of the city of David his father.

²⁷Hermed gik det således til Salomo byggede på Millo; han lukkede Hullet i sin Fader Davids By.

²⁸The man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he put him in charge of all the labor of the house of Joseph.

²⁸Nu var Jeroboam et dygtigt Menneske, og da Salomo så, hvorledes den unge Mand udførte Arbejdet, gav han ham Opsyn med hele Arbejdsstyrken af Josefs Hus.

²⁹It happened at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; now Ahijah had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field.

²⁹På den Tid hændte det sig, engang Jeroboam var rejst fra Jerusalem, at Profeten Ahija fra Silo traf ham på Vejen. Ahija var iført en ny Kappe, og de to var ene på Marken.

³⁰Ahijah laid hold of the new garment that was on him, and tore it in twelve pieces.

³⁰Da greb Ahija fat i den ny Kappe, han havde på, rev den i tolv Stykker

³¹He said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces; for thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to you

³¹og sagde til Jeroboam: "Tag dig de ti Stykker, thi så siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Se, jeg river Riget ud af Salomos Hånd og giver dig de ti Stammer.

³²(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);

³²Den ene Stamme skal han beholde for min Tjener Davids Skyld og for Jerusalems Skyld, den By, jeg udvalgte af alle Israels Stammer;

³³because that they have forsaken me, and have worshiped 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.

³³det vil jeg gøre, fordi han har forladt mig og tilbedt Astarte, Zidoniernes Gudinde, Kemosj, Moabs Gud, og Milkom, Ammoniternes Gud, og ikke vandret på mine Veje og gjort, hvad der er ret i mine Øjne, eller holdt mine Anordninger og Lovbud som hans Fader David.

³⁴“‘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;

³⁴Fra ham vil jeg dog ikke tage Riget, men lade ham være Fyrste, så længe han lever, for min Tjener Davids Skyld, som jeg udvalgte, og som holdt mine Bud og Anordninger.

³⁵but I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand, and will give it to you, even ten tribes.

³⁵Men jeg vil tage Riget fra hans Søn og give dig det, de ti Stammer;

³⁶To his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a lamp always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.

³⁶og hans Søn vil jeg give en Stamme, for at min Tjener David altid kan have en Lampe for mit Åsyn i Jerusalem, den By, jeg udvalgte for der at stedfæste mit Navn.

³⁷I will take you, and you shall reign according to all that your soul desires, and shall be king over Israel.

³⁷Men dig vil jeg tage og sætte til Hersker over alt, hvad du attrår, og du skal være Konge over Israel.

³⁸It 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.

³⁸Dersom du da er lydig i alt hvad jeg byder dig, vandrer på mine Veje og gør, hvad der er ret i mine Øjne, så du holder mine Anordnioger og Bud, som min Tjener David gjorde, vil jeg være med dig og bygge dig et varigt Hus, som jeg gjorde det for David. Dig giver jeg Israel;

³⁹I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not forever.’”

³⁹men jeg ydmyger Davids Slægt for den Sags Skyld, dog ikke for stedse!"

⁴⁰Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam; but Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.

⁴⁰Da nu Salomo stod Jeroboam efter Livet, flygtede han til Ægypten, til Ægypterkoogen Sjisjak; og han blev i Ægypten, til Salomo døde.

⁴¹Now 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?

⁴¹Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Salomo, alt, hvad han gjorde, og hans Visdom, står jo optegnet i Salomos Krønike.

⁴²The time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

⁴²Den Tid, Salomo herskede i Jerusalem over hele Israel, udgjorde fyrretyve År.

⁴³Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.

⁴³Så lagde Salomo sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i sin Fader Davids By. Og hans Søn Rehabeam blev Konge i hans Sted.
