Anden Krønikebog 9
1 Og Dronningen af Seba hørte Salomos Rygte og kom for at prøve Salomo med mørke Taler til Jerusalem med en saare stor Skare af Kameler, som bare vellugtende Urter og Guld i Mangfoldighed og dyrebare Stene; og hun kom til Salomo og talte med ham alt det, som var i hendes Hjerte.
When the queen of Sheba heard of Solomon's fame, she came to Jerusalem to test him with hard questions. She came with a very long caravan, with camels loaded with spices, much gold, and many precious gemstones. When she had come to Solomon, she told him all that was in her heart.
2 Og Salomo udtydede hende alle hendes Ord, og der var ikke et Ord skjult for Salomo, som han ej udtydede hende.
Solomon answered her all her questions; nothing was too difficult for Solomon; there was no question that he did not answer.
3 Da Dronningen af Seba saa Salomos Visdom og det Hus, som han havde bygget,
When the queen of Sheba saw Solomon's wisdom and the palace that he had built,
4 og Maden til hans Bord og hans Tjeneres Bolig, og hvordan de stode, som opvartede ham, og deres Klæder og hans Mundskænke og deres Klæder og hans Opgang, ad hvilken han gik op til Herrens Hus: Da var hun ude af sig selv.
the food on his table, the seating of his servants, the work of his servants and their clothing, also his cupbearers and their clothing, and the burnt offerings he made at the house of Yahweh, and there was no more breath in her.
5 Og hun sagde til Kongen: Det Ord er sandt, som jeg har hørt i mit Land om dine Sager og om din Visdom;
She said to the king, “It is true, the report that I heard in my own land of your words and your wisdom.
6 og jeg vilde ikke tro deres Ord, førend jeg kom, og mine Øjne have set det, og se, ikke Halvdelen er mig forkyndt af din megen Visdom; du har mere end efter Rygtet, som jeg har hørt.
I did not believe what I heard until I came here, and now my eyes have seen it. Not half was told me about your wisdom and wealth! You have exceeded the fame that I heard about.
7 Salige ere dine Mænd, og salige ere disse dine Tjenere, som stedse staa for dit Ansigt, og som høre din Visdom!
How blessed are your people, and how blessed are your servants who constantly stand before you, because they hear your wisdom.
8 Lovet være Herren din Gud, som havde Lyst til dig, at sætte dig paa sin Trone til Konge for Herren, din Gud! Fordi din Gud elsker Israel og vil befæste det evindelig, derfor satte han dig til Konge over dem, til at gøre Ret og Retfærdighed.
Blessed be Yahweh your God, who has taken pleasure in you, who placed you on his throne, to be king for Yahweh your God. Because your God loved Israel, in order to establish them forever, he had made you king over them, for you to do justice and righteousness!”
9 Og hun gav Kongen hundrede og tyve Centner Guld og saare mange vellugtende Urter og dyrebare Stene; der var ikke saadanne Urter som disse, hvilke Dronningen af Seba gav Kong Salomo.
She gave the king 120 talents of gold and a large amount of spices and precious stones. No greater amount of spices as these that the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon was ever given to him again.
10 Dertil med havde Hurams Tjenere og Salomos Tjenere bragt Guld fra Ofir og bragt Hebentræ og dyrebare Stene.
The servants of Hiram and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum wood and precious stones.
11 Og af Hebentræet lod Kongen gøre Gange til Herrens Hus og til Kongens Hus, samt Harper og Psaltre til Sangerne; og der blev ikke tilforn set saadant som dette i Judas Land.
With the algum wood, the king made steps for the house of Yahweh and for his house, as well as harps and lyres for the musicians. No wood like this had been seen before in the land of Judah.
12 Og Kong Salomo gav Dronningen af Seba alt det, hun havde Lyst til, som hun begærede, foruden Gaver for det, som hun havde medbragt til Kongen; og hun vendte om og drog til sit Land, hun og hendes Tjenere.
King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba everything she desired and whatever she asked for; he gave her more than what she had brought to the king. So she left and went back to her own land, she and her servants.
13 Og Vægten paa det Guld, som kom til Salomo paa eet Aar, var seks Hundrede og seks og tresindstyve Centner Guld
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold,
14 foruden det, som indkom fra Toldbetjentene, og det, som Købmændene bragte; og alle Kongerne af Arabia og Fyrsterne i Landet bragte Guld og Sølv til Salomo.
besides the gold that the traders and merchants brought. All the kings of Arabia and the governors in the country also brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15 Og Kong Salomo lod gøre to Hundrede Skjolde af drevet Guld; seks Hundrede Sekel drevet Guld lod han gaa paa hvert Skjold;
King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold. Six hundred shekels of gold went into each one.
16 og tre Hundrede smaa Skjolde af drevet Guld, tre Hundrede Sekel Guld lod han gaa paa hvert Skjold; og Kongen lagde dem i Libanons Skovhus.
He also made three hundred shields of beaten gold. Three minas of gold went into each shield; the king put them into the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
17 Og Kongen lod gøre en stor Trone af Elfenben og beslog den med purt Guld.
Then the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with the finest gold.
18 Og Tronen havde seks Trin og en Skammel, som med Guld vare fastgjorte til Tronen, og der var Arme paa begge Sider omkring Sædets Sted, og to Løver stode ved Armene.
There were six steps to the throne, and a footstool was attached to the throne. On each side of the throne there were armrests with two lions standing beside each of them.
19 Og der stod tolv Løver paa de seks Trin paa begge Sider; saadant er ikke gjort i noget Rige.
Twelve lions stood on the steps, one on each side of each of the six steps. There was no throne like it in any other kingdom.
20 Og alle Kong Salomos Drikkekar vare af Guld, og alle Karrene i Libanons Skovhus vare af fint Guld; Sølv agtedes ikke for noget i Salomos Dage.
All King Solomon's drinking cups were gold, and all the drinking cups in the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None were silver because silver was not considered valuable in Solomon's days.
21 Thi Kongens Skibe fore til Tharsis med Hurams Tjenere; een Gang i tre Aar kom de Tharsis Skibe, som bragte Guld og Sølv, Elfenben, Aber og Paafugle.
The king had at sea a fleet of oceangoing ships, along with the fleet of Hiram. Once every three years the fleet brought gold, silver, and ivory, as well as apes and baboons.
22 Og Kong Salomo blev større end alle Konger paa Jorden ved Rigdom og Visdom.
So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the world in riches and in wisdom.
23 Og alle Jordens Konger søgte Salomos Ansigt for at høre hans Visdom, som Gud havde givet i hans Hjerte.
All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon in order to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
24 Og de førte hver sin Skænk: Sølvkar og Guldkar og Klæder, Rustninger og vellugtende Urter, Heste og Muler, hvilket skete aarligt.
Those who visited brought tribute, vessels of silver and of gold, clothes, armor, and spices, as well as horses and mules, year after year.
25 Og Salomo havde fire Tusinde Stalde til Heste og Vogne og tolv Tusinde Ryttere, og han lod dem blive i Vognstæderne og hos Kongen i Jerusalem.
Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he stationed in the chariot cities and with himself in Jerusalem.
26 Og han herskede over alle Kongerne, fra Floden og indtil Filisternes Land og indtil Ægyptens Landemærke.
He ruled over all the kings from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
27 Og Kongen gjorde Sølvet i Jerusalem som Stenene og gjorde Cedertræerne som Morbærtræerne, der ere i Lavlandet i Mangfoldighed.
The king had silver in Jerusalem, as much as the stones on the ground. He made cedar wood to be as abundant as the sycamore fig trees that are in the lowlands.
28 Og man udførte Heste til Salomo fra Ægypten og fra alle Landene.
They brought horses for Solomon from Egypt and from all the lands.
29 Men det øvrige af Salomos Handeler, de første og de sidste, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Profeten Nathans Krønike og i Siloniten Ahias Profeti og i Seeren Jeddis Syn imod Jeroboam, Nebats Søn?
As for the other matters concerning Solomon, first and last, are they not written in The History of Nathan the Prophet, in The Prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in The Visions of Iddo the Seer (which also had information about Jeroboam son of Nebat)?
30 Og Salomo regerede i Jerusalem over al Israel fyrretyve Aar.
Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel for forty years.
31 Og Salomo laa med sine Fædre, og de begrove ham i Davids, hans Faders, Stad; og Roboam, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.
He slept with his ancestors and the people buried him in the city of David his father. Rehoboam, his son, became king in his place.
