Første Krønikebog 29
1 Og Kong David sagde til hele Forsamlingen: Salomo, den eneste af mine Sønner, som Gud har udvalgt, er en ung Person og blødhjertet, men Gerningen er stor; thi det Slot er ikke for et Menneske, men for den Herre Gud.
Then King David said to all the people who had gathered there, “My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen [to be the next king], is young and does not have much experience. This work [of building the temple] is great/important, because this glorious building will not be to [honor] people, but to honor Yahweh our God.
2 Og af al min Kraft har jeg til min Guds Hus samlet Guld til Guldtøj og Sølv til Sølvtøj og Kobber til Kobbertøj og Jern til Jerntøj og Træ til Trætøj, Onyksstene og Stene til at indfatte, og Karbunkelstene og stukne Klæder og alle Haande kostbare Stene og mange Marmorstene.
From all the things that I possess, I have provided [what will be needed] to [build] the temple of my God—the gold for the things to be made of gold, the silver for the things to be made of silver, bronze for the things to be made of bronze, iron for the things to be made of iron, wood for the things to be made of wood, and large amounts of onyx and turquoise and other valuable stones of various colors, and marble and all kinds of valuable stones.
3 Og desuden, fordi jeg har Behagelighed til min Guds Hus, har jeg givet, hvad jeg ejer af Guld og Sølv; dette har jeg givet til min Guds Hus foruden alt det, som jeg har samlet til Helligdommens Hus:
In addition to all these things that I have given for the temple, I am giving treasures of gold and silver, because I very much desire that this holy temple for my God be built.
4 Tre Tusinde Centner Guld af Oflrs Guld og syv Tusind Centner lutret Sølv til at beslaa Husenes Vægge med,
I am giving 110 tons of gold from Ophir and 260 tons of refined silver to cover the walls of the buildings,
5 at der kan være Guld til Guldtøjet og Sølv til Sølvtøjet og til alt det Arbejde, der udføres ved Mestres Haand; og hvo er villig til at fylde sin Haand i Dag for Herren?
for making the other items of gold and silver, and for the other work to be done by the craftsmen. So now, [I ask you], are there others willing to show [by contributing other gifts for the building of the temple] [EUP] that they have dedicated themselves to Yahweh?”
6 Da gave Øversterne for Fædrenehusene og Israels Stammers Øverster og Øversterne over tusinde og over hundrede og Øversterne over Kongens Arbejde frivilligt.
Then the leaders of the families/clans, the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of 1,000 soldiers and the commanders of 100 soldiers, and the officials who supervised the work that the king wanted done, gave gifts (willingly/because they wanted to give them).
7 Og de gave til Arbejdet paa Guds Hus fem Tusinde Centner Guld og ti Tusinde Drakmer og ti Tusinde Centner Sølv og atten Tusinde Centner Kobber og hundrede Tusinde Centner Jern.
For the work at the temple they gave 190 tons and (185 pounds/84 kg.) of gold, 375 tons of silver, 675 tons of bronze, and 3,750 tons of iron.
8 Og de, hos hvem der blev fundet Stene, gave dem til Herrens Hus's Skat ved Jehiels Gersonitens Haand.
And any people who owned valuable stones gave them to be put in the storeroom of the temple. Jehiel, a descendant of Gershon, was appointed to be in charge of them.
9 Og Folket var glad over, at de gave frivilligt; thi de gave Herren af et retskaffent Hjerte, frivilligt; og Kong David glædede sig ogsaa med stor Glæde.
The people were happy to see that their leaders wanted to give those things, because [they knew that] their leaders were happy and enthusiastic to give those things to Yahweh. And King David also was very happy.
10 Og David lovede Herren for den ganske Forsamlings Øjne, og David sagde: Lovet være du, Herre, Israels vor Faders Gud, fra Evighed og til Evighed!
Then, while all the people there were listening, David prayed, saying, “We praise you, Yahweh, the God whom our ancestor Jacob worshiped. We will praise you forever!
11 Dig, Herre! hører Majestæt og Vælde og Herlighed og Sejr og Ære til; thi alt i Himmelen og paa Jorden er dit, ja, dit, Herre! er Riget, og du er ophøjet over alt til et Hoved.
You alone are great and powerful; only you are truly glorious and majestic and wonderful. [And that is true] because everything in heaven and on the earth is yours. You are the king of all the people in this world; you are the ruler of everything.
12 Og Rigdom og Ære er for dit Ansigt, og du regerer over alting, og Kraft og Vælde er i din Haand; og i din Haand staar det at gøre alt stort og stærkt.
Because you are very powerful [DOU], you are able to cause anyone to be great and strong.
13 Og nu, vor Gud! vi takke dig og love din Herligheds Navn.
So now, our God, we thank you, and we praise you [MTY] for being very great.
14 Thi hvad er jeg, og hvad er mit Folk, at vi skulle have Kraft til at give frivilligt, som det her er sket? thi det er alt af dig, og af din Haand have vi givet dig det.
But my people and I are not really able to give anything to you, because everything [that we have] comes from you, and what we have given to you are only the things that we have received from you [MTY].
15 Thi vi ere fremmede for dit Ansigt og Gæster som alle vore Fædre: Vore Dage paa Jorden ere som en Skygge, og her er ingen Forhaabning.
[In this land] we are like [MET] foreigners and strangers, like our ancestors were. Our time here on this earth is like [SIM] a shadow [that disappears quickly]; [we know that there is] nothing [that] can enable us [to escape dying].
16 Herre, vor Gud! al denne Mængde, som vi have samlet til at bygge dig et Hus for til dit hellige Navn, den er af din Haand, og det er alt sammen dit.
Yahweh our God, we have gathered all these things to use in building your [MTY] temple, but all of it really belongs to you, and you have given it to us [MTY].
17 Og, min Gud! jeg ved, at du prøver Hjerter og har Behag til Oprigtighed, jeg har i mit Hjertes Oprigtighed givet alle disse Ting frivilligt og har nu med Glæde set dit Folk, som her fandtes, at det har givet dig frivilligt.
My God, I know that you test us people, and you are pleased if you find out that we do what is right. All these things I have given to you because I wanted to. And now I have seen that your people have also joyfully and generously given things to you.
18 Herre, Abrahams, Isaks og Israels, vore Fædres Gud! bevar dette evindeligt som dit Folks Hjertes Tanker og Sind, og bered deres Hjerter til dig!
Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob worshiped, I desire/hope that your people will continue to desire [to do things like this] forever, and that they will always be loyal to you.
19 Og giv min Søn Salomo et retskaffent Hjerte til at holde dine Bud, dine Vidnesbyrd og dine Skikke og til at gøre det alt sammen og til at bygge det. Slot, som jeg har forberedt.
And now, please enable my son Solomon to faithfully and sincerely [DOU] obey your commands and laws and decrees [DOU] and to do everything that is needed to build this beautiful building for which I have provided [all these things].”
20 Siden sagde David til den ganske Forsamling: Kære, lover Herren, eders Gud; og al Forsamlingen lovede Herren, deres Fædres Gud, og bøjede sig og nedkastede sig for Herren og for Kongen.
Then David said to all the people who were gathered there, “Praise Yahweh our God!” So they all praised Yahweh the God whom their ancestors ([also worshiped/belonged to]). They prostrated themselves on the ground in front of Yahweh and in front of the king.
21 Og de bragte Herren Slagtofre og ofrede Brændofre for Herren, den følgende Dags Morgen, nemlig tusinde Okser, tusinde Vædere, tusinde Lam, og deres Drikofre og Slagtofre i Mængde for al Israel.
The next day the people offered sacrifices to Yahweh. They presented many animals to be completely burned [on the altar]: 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams, 1,000 male sheep, plus offerings of wine, and many other sacrifices on behalf of all [the people of] Israel.
22 Og de aade og drak for Herrens Ansigt paa den samme Dag med stor Glæde og gjorde anden Gang Salomo, Davids Søn, til Konge og salvede ham for Herren til Fyrste og Zadok til Præst.
On that day the people were joyful and ate and drank while Yahweh was watching. Then for the second time they declared that Solomon was now the king. While Yahweh was watching, they anointed him [with olive oil] to be the king, and they anointed Zadok to be the Supreme Priest.
23 Saa sad Salomo paa Herrens Trone som Konge i sin Fader Davids Sted og blev lykkelig, og al Israel var ham lydig.
So Solomon sat on the throne [because Yahweh wanted him to be] the king to succeed his father David. [During the following years] Solomon prospered, and all the Israeli people obeyed him.
24 Og alle Fyrsterne og de vældige, ja ogsaa alle Kong Davids Sønner, de underkastede sig Kong Salomo.
King David’s other sons and all the officers and mighty warriors accepted Solomon as their king, and they solemnly promised to obey him.
25 Og Herren gjorde Salomo overmaade stor for al Israels Øjne og gav ham kongelig Ære, som ingen Konge havde haft før ham over Israel.
Yahweh caused Solomon to be highly respected by all the Israeli people, and they honored him very much. No king of Israel was honored as much as Solomon was.
26 Og David, Isajs Søn, havde været Konge over al Israel.
Jesse’s son David was the king who ruled all of Israel.
27 Men Dagene, som han havde været Konge over Israel, vare fyrretyve Aar; i Hebron regerede han syv Aar, og i Jerusalem regerede han tre og tredive Aar.
He ruled for 40 years: Seven years in Hebron [city] and 33 years in Jerusalem.
28 Og han døde i en god Alder, mæt af Dage, Rigdom og Ære; og Salomo, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.
He became an old man who was very rich and greatly honored by all the people. Then he died, and his son Solomon became the king [of Israel].
29 Men Kong Davids Gerninger, de første og sidste, se, de ere beskrevne med i Samuel Seerens Krønike og med i Nathan Profetens Krønike og med i Gad Seerens Krønike;
A record of all the things that King David did while he ruled, from the beginning to the end, was put on scrolls written by the prophets Samuel, Nathan, and Gad.
30 tillige med hele hans Regering og hans Vælde og Tiderne, som forløb over ham og over Israel og over alle Landes Riger.
They told about his powerful rule [HEN], and all the things that happened to him and to the people of Israel and in the nearby kingdoms [while he was ruling Israel].
