Første Krønikebog 22
1 Da sagde David: »Her skal Gud HERRENS Hus staa, her skal Israels Brændofferalter staa!«
Then David said, “Here, [at the edge of Jerusalem, ] is where [we will build] the temple for our God Yahweh, and where [we will make] the altar for burning the offerings that the Israeli [people will bring].”
2 David bød saa, at man skulde samle alle de fremmede, som boede i Israels Land, og han satte Stenhuggere til at tilhugge Kvadersten til Opførelsen af Guds Hus;
So David commanded that the foreigners who lived in Israel must gather together. [When they did that, ] he appointed [some of those] men to [cut huge] stones [from the quarries] and to smooth their surfaces, to be used to build the temple of God.
3 fremdeles anskaffede David Jern i Mængde til Nagler paa Portfløjene og til Kramper, en umaadelig Mængde Kobber
David provided a large amount of iron for making nails and hinges for the doors in the gates of the temple. He also provided so much bronze [for making the altar and various utensils], that no one could weigh it all.
4 og talløse Cederbjælker, idet Zidonierne og Tyrierne bragte David Cederbjælker i Mængde.
He also provided [money for buying] a large amount of cedar logs. Because there was a huge number of them, no one was able to count them. Those were logs that men from Tyre and Sidon [cities] sent to David.
5 Thi David tænkte: »Min Søn Salomo er ung og uudviklet, men Huset, som skal bygges HERREN, skal være stort og mægtigt, for at det kan vinde Navnkundighed og Ry i alle Lande; jeg vil træffe Forberedelser for ham.« Og David traf store Forberedelser, før han døde.
David [provided all those things because he] thought, “My son Solomon is still young and he does not know what he needs to know [about building], and the temple of Yahweh must be (magnificent/very beautiful). It must be a glorious building that will become famous, and people throughout the world must consider it to be glorious/splendid. So now I will begin to prepare for it to be built, [and Solomon will be responsible for building it].” So David collected a great amount of building materials before he died.
6 Derpaa lod han sin Søn Salomo kalde og bød ham bygge HERREN, Israels Gud, et Hus.
[When] David [was old, he] summoned his son Solomon, and told him that he should arrange for a temple to be built for Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worshiped].
7 Og David sagde til Salomo: »Min Søn! Jeg havde selv i Sinde at bygge HERREN min Guds Navn et Hus;
He said to him, “I wanted [IDM] to build a temple to honor [MTY] Yahweh, my God.
8 men da kom HERRENS Ord til mig saaledes: Du har udgydt meget Blod og ført store Krige; du maa ikke bygge mit Navn et Hus, thi du har udgydt meget Blod paa Jorden for mit Aasyn.
But Yahweh told [a prophet to tell] me, ‘You have killed many men [MTY] in the battles that you have fought. I have seen the blood of all the people whom you killed, so you will not be the one who will arrange for a temple to be built to honor me [MTY].
9 Se, en Søn skal fødes dig; han skal være en Fredens Mand, og jeg vil skaffe ham Fred for alle hans Fjender rundt om; thi hans Navn skal være Salomo, og jeg vil give Israel Fred og Ro i hans Dage.
But you will have a son [who will be king of Israel after you die]. He will be a man who is peaceful and quiet, [not a man who kills others]. And I will cause that there will be peace between him and his enemies who are in all the nearby lands. His name will be Solomon, [which sounds like the word for peace]. During the time that he is king, people in Israel will be peaceful and safe.
10 Han skal bygge mit Navn et Hus; og han skal være mig en Søn, og jeg vil være ham en Fader, og jeg vil grundfæste hans Kongedømmes Trone over Israel til evig Tid!
He is the one who will arrange for a temple to be built to honor me [MTY]. He will be [like] a son to me, and I will cause some of his descendants to rule [MTY] over Israel forever [HYP].’
11 Saa være da HERREN med dig, min Søn, at du maa faa Lykke til at bygge HERREN din Guds Hus, saaledes som han har forjættet om dig.
“So now, my son, I hope/wish that Yahweh will help you, and enable you to be successful in arranging for building the temple of Yahweh, your God, which is what he said that you would do.
12 Maatte HERREN kun give dig Forstand og Indsigt, saa han kan sætte dig over Israel og du kan holde HERREN din Guds Lov!
I also hope/wish that he will enable you to be wise and to understand what you need to know, and enable you to obey his laws while you rule over Israel.
13 Saa vil det gaa dig vel naar du nøje holder Anordningerne og Lovbudene, som HERREN bød Moses at paalægge Israel. Vær frimodig og stærk, frygt ikke og tab ikke Modet!
If you carefully obey all the laws and regulations/commands that Yahweh gave to Moses to give to us Israeli people, you will be successful. So be steadfast/strong and courageous. Do not be afraid of anything, and do not become discouraged!
14 Se, med stor Møje har jeg til HERRENS Hus tilvejebragt 100 000 Talenter Guld og en Million Talenter Sølv og desuden Kobber og Jern, som ikke er til at veje, saa meget er der; dertil har jeg tilvejebragt Bjælker og Sten; og du skal sørge for flere.
“I have tried hard to provide [materials] for [building] the temple of Yahweh. I have provided nearly 4,000 tons of gold, and nearly 40,000 tons of silver. I have also provided a very large amount of iron and bronze; no one has been able to weigh it all. I have also gathered/provided lumber and stone [for the walls of the temple], but you may need to get some more of those things.
15 En Mængde Arbejdere staar til din Raadighed, Stenhuggere, Murere, Tømrere og alle Slags Folk, der forstaar sig paa Arbejder af enhver Art.
There are many men [in Israel] who have good ability to cut big stones for making stone walls, and carpenters, and men who are very skilled at making various kinds of things.
16 Af Guld, Sølv, Kobber og Jern er der umaadelige Mængder til Stede — saa tag da fat, og HERREN være med dig!«
There are many men who know how to make things from gold and silver and bronze and iron. So now [I say to you], begin the work [of building the temple], and I hope/wish that Yahweh will help/be with you.”
17 Og David bød alle Israels Øverster hjælpe hans Søn Salomo og sagde:
Then David commanded that all the Israeli leaders must assist Solomon. He said to them,
18 »Er HERREN eders Gud ikke med eder, har han ikke skaffet eder Ro til alle Sider? Han har jo givet Landets Indbyggere i min Haand, og Landet er underlagt HERREN og hans Folk;
“Yahweh our God is certainly with/helping you [RHQ]. He has allowed you to have peace with all the nearby nations [RHQ]. He has enabled my [army] to conquer [IDM] them, so now Yahweh and my people control them.
19 saa giv da eders Hjerter og Sjæle hen til at søge HERREN eders Gud og tag fat paa at bygge Gud HERRENS Helligdom, saa at HERRENS Pagts Ark og Guds hellige Ting kan føres ind i Huset, der skal bygges HERRENS Navn.«
Now you must obey Yahweh completely. Help Solomon to arrange for building the temple for Yahweh God, in order that you can bring the Sacred Chest that contains the Ten Commandments and the other sacred items that belong to God into the temple that you will build to honor Yahweh.”
