Anden Krønikebog 7
1 Og der Salomo havde fuldendt at bede, da faldt Ild ned fra Himmelen og fortærede Brændofferet og Slagtofrene, og Herrens Herlighed fyldte Huset.
And when Solomon had made an end of praying, a fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt-offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the house.
2 Og Præsterne kunde ikke gaa ind i Herrens Hus; thi Herrens Herlighed fyldte Herrens Hus.
And the priests were not able to enter into the house of the Lord; because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord's house.
3 Der alle Israels Børn saa Ilden og Herrens Herlighed nedfalde over Huset, da bøjede de sig ned med Ansigtet til Jorden imod Gulvet og tilbade og takkede Herren, at han er god, at hans Miskundhed er evindelig.
And all the children of Israel were looking on as the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord [was resting] upon the house; and they kneeled down with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and prostrated themselves, and gave thanks unto the Lord, for he is good; because unto everlasting endureth his kindness.
4 Og Kongen og alt Folket ofrede Slagtoffer for Herrens Ansigt.
And the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the Lord.
5 Og Kong Salomo ofrede som Slagtoffer to og tyve Tusinde Okser og hundrede og tyve Tusinde Faar; og Kongen og alt Folket indviede Guds Hus.
And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep: and so they dedicated the house of God, the king and all the people.
6 Men Præsterne stode i deres Tjeneste og Leviterne med Herrens Sanginstrumenter, som Kong David havde ladet gøre til at takke Herren med, at hans Miskundhed er evindelig, der David ved dem lovede Gud; og Præsterne blæste i Basunerne tværs over for dem, og det hele Israel stod.
And the priests were standing on their stations, and the Levites with the instruments of the music of the Lord, which king David had made to give thanks unto the Lord, because unto everlasting endureth his kindness, with the song of praise of David in their hand; and the priests blew the trumpets opposite to them, and all Israel were standing.
7 Og Salomo helligede den mellemste Part af Forgaarden, som var foran Herrens Hus; thi han tillavede der Brændofrene og Fedtstykkerne af Takofrene, fordi det Kobberalter, som Salomo havde ladet gøre, ikke kunde tage imod Brændofferet og Madofferet og Fedtstykkerne.
And Solomon hallowed the interior of the court that was before the house of the Lord; for he prepared there the burnt-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings; because the copper altar which Solomon had made was not able to contain the burnt-offerings, and the meat-offerings, and the fat.
8 Og Salomo holdt paa den samme Tid en Højtid paa syv Dage og al Israel med ham, en saare stor Forsamling, fra Strækningen imellem Hamath og Ægyptens Bæk.
And Solomon held the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Chamath unto the river of Egypt.
9 Og paa den ottende Dag holdt de en Slutningshøjtid; thi de holdt Alterets Indvielse i syv Dage og Højtiden i syv Dage.
And they held on the eighth day a solemn assembly; for the dedication of the altar they held seven days, and the feast seven days.
10 Men paa den tre og tyvende Dag i den syvende Maaned lod han Folket fare til deres Telte, glade og ved et godt Mod over det gode, som Herren havde gjort imod David og Salomo og sit Folk Israel.
And on the three-and-twentieth day of the seventh month he dismissed the people unto their tents, joyful and glad of heart because of the good that the Lord had done for David, and for Solomon, and for Israel his people.
11 Saa fuldendte Salomo Herrens Hus og Kongens Hus; og alt det, som var opkommet i Salomos Hjerte at gøre i Herrens Hus og i sit Hus, det fik han Lykke til.
Thus did Solomon complete the house of the Lord, and the king's house; and [in] all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the Lord, and in his own house, he prospered.
12 Og Herren aabenbarede sig for Salomo om Natten og sagde til ham: Jeg har hørt din Bøn og udvalgt mig dette Sted til et Offerhus.
Then appeared the Lord to Solomon during the night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and I have made choice of this place for myself as a house of sacrifice.
13 Se, naar jeg tillukker Himmelen, at der ikke vorder Regn, og se, naar jeg byder Græshopper at æde Landet, eller naar jeg lader Pest komme iblandt mit Folk,
If I shut up the heavens that there be no rain, or if I give a charge to the locusts to devour off the land, or if I send a pestilence among my people:
14 og mit Folk, som er kaldet efter mit Navn, ydmyger sig, og de bede og søge mit Ansigt og omvende sig fra deres onde Vej: Saa vil jeg høre fra Himmelen af og forlade dem deres Synder og gøre deres Land sundt.
And if my people, over whom my name is called, do then humble themselves, and pray, and seek my presence, and turn away from their evil ways: then will I also hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
15 Nu skulle mine Øjne være aabnede og mine Øren give Agt paa den Bøn, som sker paa dette Sted.
Now, my eyes shall be open, and my ears attentive unto the prayer on this place.
16 Og nu har jeg udvalgt og helliget mig dette Hus, at mit Navn skal være der indtil evig Tid, og mine Øjne og mit Hjerte skulle være der alle Dage.
And now I have chosen and hallowed this house, that my name may be there for ever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there at all times.
17 Og du, om du vandrer for mit Ansigt, ligesom David, din Fader, har vandret, saa at du gør efter alt det, som jeg befalede dig, at du holder mine Skikke og mine Befalinger:
And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father hath walked, so as to do in accordance with all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my ordinances:
18 Saa vil jeg ogsaa stadfæste dit Riges Trone, ligesom jeg har gjort en Pagt med din Fader David og sagt: Dig skal ikke fattes en Mand, som skal herske i Israel.
Then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom, just as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall never fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.
19 Men dersom I vende eder bort og forlade mine Skikke og mine Bud, som jeg har givet for eders Ansigt, og I gaa hen og tjene andre Guder og tilbede dem:
But if ye will indeed turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and will go and serve other gods, and bow down to them:
20 Da vil jeg oprykke eder af mit Land, som jeg har givet eder, og dette Hus, som jeg har helliget til mit Navn, vil jeg forkaste fra mit Ansigt, og jeg vil gøre det til et Ordsprog og til en Spot iblandt alle Folk.
Then will I pluck them up out of my land which I have given unto them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast away from my sight, and I will render it to be for a proverb and for a by-word among all the people.
21 Og dette Hus, som har været højt, skulle alle, som gaa forbi det, grue for og sige: Hvorfor har Herren gjort saa imod dette Land og imod dette Hus?
And this house, which hath been so exalted, shall become an astonishment to every one that passeth by it: so that he will say, Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and unto this house?
22 Og de skulle sige: Fordi de forlode Herren, deres Fædres Gud, som udførte dem af Ægyptens Land, og holdt fast ved andre Guder og tilbade dem og tjente dem: Derfor har han ladet alt dette onde komme over dem.
And men shall then say, For the cause that they forsook the Lord the God of their fathers, who had brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and they took hold of other gods, and bowed down to them, and served them: therefore hath he brought upon them all this evil.
