Kong Salomo elsket mange utenlandske kvinner, i tillegg til datteren til Farao, kvinner fra moabittene, ammonittene, edomittene, sidonittene og hetittene;

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

fra de folkeslagene som Herren hadde sagt til Israels barn: Dere skal ikke blande dere med dem, og de skal ikke blande seg med dere. For de vil helt sikkert vende hjertet deres bort etter deres guder. Men Salomo holdt fast ved dem av kjærlighet.

of the nations concerning which Jehovah said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go among them, neither shall they come among you; for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.

Han hadde syv hundre hustruer, prinsesser, og tre hundre medhustruer. Og hans hustruer vendte bort hans hjerte.

And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart.

Da Salomo ble gammel, vendte hans hustruer hans hjerte bort etter andre guder; og hans hjerte var ikke helt med Herren hans Gud, slik som hans far Davids hjerte hadde vært.

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

Salomo fulgte Astarte, sidonittenes gudinne, og Milkom, ammonittenes avskyelighet.

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

Salomo gjorde det som var ondt i Herrens øyne, og fulgte ikke helt Herren, som hans far David hadde gjort.

And Solomon did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and went not fully after Jehovah, as did David his father.

Da bygde Salomo en høyde for Kamosj, Moabs avskyelighet, på fjellet øst for Jerusalem, og for Molok, ammonittenes avskyelighet.

Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, in the mount that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.

Slik gjorde han med alle sine utenlandske hustruer, som brente røkelse og ofret til sine guder.

And so did he for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.

Herren ble vred på Salomo fordi hans hjerte var vendt bort fra Herren, Israels Gud, som hadde åpenbart seg for ham to ganger.

And Jehovah was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Jehovah, the God of Israel, who had appeared unto him twice,

Han hadde pålagt ham om dette, at han ikke skulle følge andre guder. Men han holdt ikke det Herren hadde befalt.

and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which Jehovah commanded.

Derfor sa Herren til Salomo: «Siden du har gjort dette og ikke holdt min pakt og mine lover, som jeg påla deg, vil jeg rive riket fra deg og gi det til din tjener.

Wherefore Jehovah said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.

Men for din far Davids skyld vil jeg ikke gjøre det i dine dager; jeg vil rive det ut av din sønns hånd.

Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.

Dog vil jeg ikke rive hele riket bort; jeg vil gi én stamme til din sønn, for min tjener Davids skyld og for Jerusalems skyld, byen jeg har utvalgt.»

Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but I will give one tribe to thy son, for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.

Herren oppreiste en motstander mot Salomo, Hadad, edomitten, som var av kongens ætt i Edom.

And Jehovah raised up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom.

Da David var i Edom, og Joab, hærføreren, hadde gått opp for å begrave de falne, hadde han slått i hjel hver mann i Edom.

For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, and had smitten every male in Edom;

(For Joab og hele Israel var blitt der seks måneder, helt til han hadde utryddet alle mannfolkene i Edom.)

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

Da flyktet Hadad, sammen med visse edomitter av hans fars tjenere, for å dra til Egypt, mens Hadad ikke var mer enn et lite barn.

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

De dro fra Midjan og kom til Paran; de tok med seg menn fra Paran og dro til Egypt, til Farao, kongen av Egypt, som ga ham husly og forsynte ham med mat, og ga ham land.

And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran; and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.

Hadad vant stor gunst i Faraos øyne, slik at han ga ham til ekte Faraos kones søster, søsteren til dronning Tahpenes.

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

Tahpenes' søster fødte ham en sønn ved navn Genubat. Tahpenes avvente ham i Faraos hus, og Genubat vokste opp i Faraos hus blant Faraos sønner.

And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh's house among the sons of Pharaoh.

Da Hadad i Egypt fikk høre at David var gått til hvile med sine fedre, og at Joab, hærføreren, var død, sa Hadad til Farao: «La meg dra hjem til mitt eget land.»

And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country.

Men Farao sa til ham: «Hva mangler du hos meg, siden du vil dra til ditt eget land?» Han svarte: «Ingenting, men la meg likevel dra.»

Then Pharaoh said unto him, But what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country? And he answered, Nothing: howbeit only let me depart.

Gud reiste også en annen motstander mot Salomo, Rezon, sønnen til Eliada, som hadde flyktet fra sin herre Hadadezer, kongen av Soba.

And God raised up `another' adversary unto him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah.

Han samlet menn rundt seg, og ble leder for en bande da David slo dem fra Soba; og de dro til Damaskus, der de bosatte seg og regjerte i Damaskus.

And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a troop, when David slew them `of Zobah': and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus.

Han var en motstander til Israel alle Salomos dager, i tillegg til det onde Hadad gjorde. Han avskydde Israel og regjerte over Syria.

And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the mischief that Hadad `did': and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.

Jeroboam, sønnen til Nebat, en efraimit fra Sereda, Salomos tjener, som hans mor, enke Zerua, hadde født, løftet også sin hånd mot kongen.

And Jeroboam 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.

Dette er grunnen til at han reiste seg mot kongen: Salomo bygde Millo og styrket murbruddet i sin far Davids by.

And this 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.

Mannen Jeroboam var en dyktig mann. Da Salomo så den unge mannen og hvor flittig han var, gjorde han ham til oppsynsmann over all arbeidskraften i Josefs hus.

And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he gave him charge over all the labor of the house of Joseph.

Det skjedde på den tiden at Jeroboam gikk ut av Jerusalem, og profeten Ahia fra Silo møtte ham på veien. Ahia hadde kledd seg i en ny kappe, og de to var alene ute på marken.

And it came to pass 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.

Ahia grep tak i den nye kappen han hadde på seg, og rev den i tolv stykker.

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

Han sa til Jeroboam: «Ta ti stykker for deg, for slik sier Herren, Israels Gud: Se, jeg vil rive riket ut av Salomos hender og gi deg ti stammer.

And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces; for thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee;

Men han skal ha én stamme for min tjener Davids skyld og for Jerusalems skyld, byen jeg har utvalgt blant alle Israels stammer,

(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);

fordi de har forlatt meg, dyrket Astarte, sidonittenes gudinne, Kamos, Moabs gud, og Milkom, ammonittenes gud, og ikke vandret i mine veier, gjort det som er rett for meg, eller holdt mine lover og forskrifter, slik som hans far David gjorde.

because that 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; and they have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and `to keep' my statutes and mine ordinances, as did David his father.

Men jeg vil ikke ta hele riket fra ham, men la ham være fyrste alle hans levedager for min tjener Davids skyld, som jeg utvalgte, og som fulgte mine bud og forskrifter.

Howbeit 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;

Men jeg vil ta riket ut av hans sønns hender og gi deg ti stammer.

but I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto thee, even ten tribes.

Hans sønn vil jeg gi én stamme, slik at min tjener David alltid har en lampe brennende for meg i Jerusalem, byen jeg har valgt for å sette mitt navn der.

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

Jeg vil ta deg, og du skal regjere over alt som ditt hjerte begjærer, og du skal være konge over Israel.

And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.

Hvis du vil lytte til alt jeg befaler deg, vandre på mine veier, gjøre det som er rett i mine øyne og holde mine forskrifter og bud slik min tjener David gjorde, vil jeg være med deg. Jeg vil bygge deg et fast hus, slik jeg bygde for David, og jeg vil gi Israel til deg.

And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that which is right in mine eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and will build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.

Jeg vil for dette ydmyke Davids ætt, men ikke for alltid.

And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.

Salomo forsøkte derfor å drepe Jeroboam, men Jeroboam reiste seg og flyktet til Egypt, til Sjisjak, kongen av Egypt, og ble der til Salomo døde.

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

Resten av Salomos gjerninger, alt han gjorde, og hans visdom, står skrevet i Salomos krønikebok.

Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?

Tiden Salomo regjerte i Jerusalem over hele Israel, var førti år.

And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

Salomo gikk til hvile med sine fedre og ble begravet i sin far Davids by. Og Rehabeam, hans sønn, ble konge etter ham.

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