1 Konge Salomo elsket mange utenlandske kvinner, i tillegg til datteren av Farao, kvinner fra moabittene, ammonittene, edomittene, sidonierne og hetittene;

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

2 fra de folkene som Herren hadde sagt om til Israels barn: Dere skal ikke dra til dem, og de skal ikke komme til dere; for de vil helt sikkert vende hjertet ditt bort etter deres guder. Salomo holdt seg til disse i kjærlighet.

of 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.

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

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

4 For da Salomo ble gammel, vendte hans hustruer hans hjerte bort etter andre guder; og hans hjerte var ikke helt med Herren sin Gud, som Davids hans fars hjerte hadde vært.

For 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.

5 For Salomo fulgte Asjtoret, sidonienes gudinne, og Milkom, ammonittenes avskyelighet.

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

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

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

7 Da bygde Salomo en offerhøyde for Kamosj, Moabs avskyelighet, på fjellet som er foran Jerusalem, og for Molek, ammonittenes avskyelighet.

Then did Solomon build 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 Slik gjorde han for alle sine utenlandske hustruer, som brente røkelse og ofret til deres guder.

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

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

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

10 og hadde befalt ham angående 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 didn't keep that which Yahweh commanded.

11 Derfor sa Herren til Salomo: Fordi du har gjort dette, og ikke har holdt min pakt og mine lover, som jeg har befalt deg, vil jeg helst sikkert rive riket fra deg og gi det til din tjener.

Therefore Yahweh said to Solomon, Because this is done of 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 din far Davids skyld vil jeg ikke gjøre det i dine dager; men jeg skal rive det ut av hånden på din sønn.

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

13 Men jeg vil ikke rive hele riket bort; jeg vil gi din sønn én stamme, for min tjener Davids skyld, og for Jerusalems skyld som jeg har utvalgt.

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 Herren reiste opp en motstander mot Salomo, Hadad edomitten; han var av kongelig slekt i Edom.

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

15 Det skjedde da David var i Edom, og Joab, hærføreren, var dratt opp for å begrave de falne, og hadde slått alle menn i Edom.

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

16 (for Joab og hele Israel ble der seks måneder, til han hadde utryddet alle menn i Edom);

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

17 at Hadad flyktet, sammen med visse edomitter av hans fars tjenere, for å dra til Egypt, mens Hadad ennå var 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.

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

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 fant stor nåde i Faraos øyne, så han ga ham søsteren til sin kone, søsteren til dronning Tahpenes, til hustru.

Hadad 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.

20 Tahpenes' søster fødte ham sønnen Genubat, som Tahpenes avvant i Faraos hus; og Genubat ble i Faraos hus blant Faraos sønner.

The 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.

21 Da Hadad fikk høre i Egypt at David hadde sovnet med sine fedre, og at Joab, hærføreren, var død, sa Hadad til Farao: La meg dra, så jeg kan gå til mitt eget land.

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 my own country.

22 Da sa Farao til ham: Men hva har manglet deg hos meg, siden du vil dra til ditt eget land? Han svarte: Ingenting; men likevel la meg dra.

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 reiste opp en annen motstander mot ham, Rezon, sønn av Eljada, som hadde flyktet fra sin herre Hadadezer, kongen av Soba.

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

24 Han samlet menn til seg og ble leder for en flokk da David slo dem ved Soba; og de dro til Damaskus, og bodde der, og regjerte i Damaskus.

He 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.

25 Han var en fiende mot Israel alle Salomos dager, foruten den ulykke som Hadad gjorde; og han hatet Israel, og regjerte over Syria.

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.

26 Jeroboam, Nebats sønn, en efraimitt fra Sereda, en tjener av Salomo, hvis mor het Serua, en enke, reiste også hånden mot kongen.

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.

27 Dette var grunnen til at han reiste seg mot kongen: Salomo bygde Millo, og reparerte bruddet i Davids, sin fars, by.

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.

28 Jeroboam var en dyktig mann, og Salomo så den unge mannen at han var dugelig, og satte ham over alle arbeidsfolkene i Josefs hus.

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.

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

It 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.

30 Ahia grep den nye kappen som han hadde på, og rev den i tolv stykker.

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

31 Han sa til Jeroboam: Ta ti stykker; for så sier Herren, Israels Gud: Se, jeg vil rive riket ut av Salomos hånd og gi deg ti stammer.

He 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

32 (men han skal ha én stamme, for min tjener Davids skyld og for Jerusalems skyld, byen som jeg har utvalgt av 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);

33 fordi de har forlatt meg, og tilbedt Asjtoret, Sidoniernes gudinne, Kamosj, Moabs gud, og Milkom, ammonittenes gud, og de har ikke vandret på mine veier, for å gjøre det som er rett i mine øyne, og for å holde mine lover og mine forskrifter, som David hans far gjorde.

because 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; and 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 did David his father.

34 Men jeg vil ikke ta hele riket ut av hans hånd; men jeg vil gjøre ham til fyrste alle hans livs dager, for min tjener Davids skyld, som jeg har utvalgt, som holdt mine bud og mine lover;

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 jeg vil ta riket ut av hans sønns hånd, og gi deg ti stammer.

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

36 Til hans sønn vil jeg gi én stamme, så Davids min tjener kan ha en lampe alltid for mitt åsyn i Jerusalem, byen som jeg har utvalgt å sette mitt navn der.

To 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.

37 Og jeg vil ta deg, og du skal regjere i henhold til alt ditt hjerte ønsker, og være konge over Israel.

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

38 Det skal skje, hvis du vil lytte til alt jeg befaler deg, og vandre på mine veier, og gjøre det som er rett i mine øyne, for å holde mine lover og mine bud, som min tjener David gjorde; da vil jeg være med deg, og bygge deg et trygt hus, som jeg bygde for David, og gi 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 For dette vil jeg plage Davids ætt, men ikke for alltid.

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

40 Salomo søkte derfor å drepe Jeroboam; men Jeroboam reiste seg, flyktet til Egypt, til Sjisjak, kongen av Egypt, og var i Egypt til Salomo døde.

Solomon 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.

41 Nå er resten av Salomos gjerninger, og alt han gjorde, og hans visdom, er de ikke skrevet i boken om Salomos gjerninger?

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 regjerte i Jerusalem over hele Israel var førti år.

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

43 Salomo sovnet med sine fedre, og ble gravlagt i byen til sin far David, og Rehabeam hans sønn regjerte i hans sted.

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