Første Krønikebog 29

1 Fremdeles sagde Kong David til hele Forsamlingen: »Min Søn Salomo, som Gud har udvalgt, er ung og uudviklet, og Arbejdet er stort, thi Borgen er ikke bestemt for et Menneske, men for Gud HERREN.

And king David said to all the assembly: Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is as yet young and tender: and the work is great, for a house is prepared not for man, but for God.

2 Jeg har derfor sat al min Kraft ind paa til min Guds Hus at tilvejebringe Guldet, Sølvet, Kobberet, Jernet og Træet til det, der skal laves af Guld, Sølv, Kobber, Jern og Træ, desuden Sjohamsten og Indfatningssten, Rubiner, brogede Sten, alle Slags Ædelsten og Marmorsten i Mængde.

And I with all my ability have prepared the expenses for the house of my God. Gold for vessels of gold, and silver for vessels of silver, brass for things of brass, iron for things of iron, wood for things of wood: and onyx stones, and stones like alabaster, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble of Paros in great abundance.

3 I min Glæde over min Guds Hus giver jeg der hos til min Guds Hus, hvad jeg ejer af Guld og Sølv, ud over alt, hvad jeg har bragt til Veje til det hellige Hus:

Now over and above the things which I have offered into the house of my God I give of my own proper goods, gold and silver for the temple of my God, beside what things I have prepared for the holy house.

4 3000 Talenter Guld, Ofirguld, og 7000 Talenter lutret Sølv til at overtrække Bygningernes Vægge med,

Three thousand talents of gold of the gold of Ophir: and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the temple.

5 Guldet til det, der skal forgyldes, og Sølvet til det, der skal forsølves, og til ethvert Arbejde, der skal udføres af Haandværkernes Haand. Hvem er nu villig til i Dag at bringe HERREN Gaver?«

And gold for wheresoever there is need of gold: and silver for wheresoever there is need of silver, for the works to be made by the hands of the artificers: now if any man is willing to offer, let him fill his hand today, and offer what he pleaseth to the Lord.

6 Da kom Øversterne for Fædrenehusene, Øversterne for Israels Stammer, Tusind— og Hundredførerne og Øversterne i Kongens Tjeneste frivilligt

Then the heads of the families, and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, and the overseers of the king’s possessions promised,

7 og gav til Arbejdet paa Guds Hus 5000 Talenter og 10 000 Darejker Guld, 10 000 Talenter Sølv, 18 000 Talenter Kobber og 100 000 Talenter Jern;

And they gave for the works of the house of the Lord, of gold, five thousand talents, and ten thousand solids: of silver ten thousand talents: and of brass eighteen thousand talents: and of iron a hundred thousand talents.

8 og de, som ejede Ædelsten, gav dem til HERRENS Hus's Skat, der stod under Gersoniten Jehiels Tilsyn.

And all they that had stones, gave them to the treasures of the house of the Lord, by the hand of Jahiel the Gersonite.

9 Og Folket glædede sig over deres Vilje til at give, thi af et helt Hjerte gav de HERREN frivillige Gaver; ogsaa Kong David følte stor Glæde.

And the people rejoiced, when they promised their offerings willingly: because they offered them to the Lord with all their heart: and David the king rejoiced also with a great joy.

10 Og David priste HERREN i hele Forsamlingens Nærværelse, og David sagde: »Lovet være du HERRE, vor Fader Israels Gud fra Evighed til Evighed!

And he blessed the Lord before all the multitude, and he said: Blessed art thou, O Lord the God of Israel, our father from eternity to eternity.

11 Din, HERRE, er Storheden, Magten, Æren, Glansen og Herligheden, thi alt i Himmelen og paa Jorden er dit; dit, o HERRE, er Riget, og selv løfter du dig som Hoved over alle.

Thine, O Lord, is magnificence, and power, and glory, and victory: and to thee is praise: for all that is in heaven, and in earth, is thine: thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art above all princes.

12 Rigdom og Ære kommer fra dig, og du hersker over alt; i din Haand er Kraft og Vælde, og i din Haand staar det at gøre, hvem det skal være, stor og stærk.

Thine are riches, and thine is glory, thou hast dominion over all, in thy hand is power and might: in thy hand greatness, and the empire of all things.

13 Derfor priser vi dig nu, vor Gud, og lovsynger dit herlige Navn!

Now therefore our God we give thanks to thee, and we praise thy glorious name.

14 Thi hvad er jeg, og hvad er mit Folk, at vi selv skulde evne at give saadanne frivillige Gaver? Fra dig kommer det alt sammen, og af din egen Haand har vi givet dig det.

Who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to promise thee all these things? all things are thine: and we have given thee what we received of thy hand.

15 Thi vi er fremmede for dit Aasyn og Gæster som alle vore Fædre; som en Skygge er vore Dage paa Jorden, uden Haab!

For we are sojourners before thee, and strangers, as were all our fathers. Our days upon earth are as a shadow, and there is no stay.

16 HERRE vor Gud, al denne Rigdom, som vi har bragt til Veje for at bygge dit hellige Navn et Hus, fra din Haand kommer den, og dig tilhører det alt sammen.

O Lord our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee a house for thy holy name, is from thy hand, and all things are thine.

17 Jeg ved, min Gud, at du prøver Hjerter og har Behag i Oprigtighed; af oprigtigt Hjerte har jeg villigt givet alt dette, og nu har jeg set med Glæde, at dit Folk, der er her til Stede, villigt har givet dig Gaver.

I know my God that thou provest hearts, and lovest simplicity, wherefore I also in the simplicity of my heart, have joyfully offered all these things: and I have seen with great joy thy people, which are here present, offer thee their offerings.

18 HERRE, vore Fædre Abrahams, Isaks og Israels Gud, bevar til evig Tid et saadant Sind og saadanne Tanker i dit Folks Hjerte og vend deres Hjerter til dig!

O Lord God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Israel our fathers, keep for ever this will of their heart, and let this mind remain always for the worship of thee.

19 Og giv min Søn Salomo et helt Hjerte til at holde dine Bud, Vidnesbyrd og Anordninger og udføre det alt sammen og bygge den Borg, jeg har truffet Forberedelser til at opføre!«

And give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, that he may keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy ceremonies, and do all things: and build the house, for which I have provided the charges.

20 Derpaa sagde David til hele Forsamlingen: »Lov HERREN eders Gud!« Og hele Forsamlingen lovede HERREN, deres Fædres Gud, og kastede sig ned for HERREN og Kongen.

And David commanded all the assembly: Bless ye the Lord our God. And all the assembly blessed the Lord the God of their fathers: and they bowed themselves and worshipped God, and then the king.

21 Saa ofrede de Slagtofre til HERREN, og Dagen efter bragte de ham som Brændoffer 1000 Tyre, 1000 Vædre og 1000 Lam med tilhørende Drikofre og en Mængde Slagtofre for hele Israel;

And they sacrificed victims to the Lord: and they offered holocausts the next day, a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs, with their libations, and with every thing prescribed most abundantly for all Israel.

22 og de spiste og drak den Dag for HERRENS Aasyn med stor Glæde. Derefter indsatte de paa ny Davids Søn til Konge, og de hyldede ham som HERRENS Fyrste og Zadok som Præst;

And they ate, and drank before the Lord that day with great joy. And they anointed the second time Solomon the son of David. And they anointed him to the Lord to be prince, and Sadoc to be high priest.

23 og Salomo satte sig paa HERRENS Trone som Konge i sin Fader Davids Sted; Lykken var med ham, og hele Israel var ham lydigt;

And Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father, and he pleased all: and all Israel obeyed him.

24 og alle Øversterne og Kærnetropperne, ligeledes alle Kong Davids Sønner hyldede Kong Salomo.

And all the princes, and men of power, and all the sons of king David gave their hand, and were subject to Solomon the king.

25 HERREN gjorde Salomo overmaade mægtig for hele Israels Øjne og gav ham en kongelig Herlighed, som ingen Konge før ham havde haft i Israel.

And the Lord magnified Solomon over all Israel: and gave him the glory of a reign, such as no king of Israel had before him.

26 David, Isajs Søn, havde hersket over hele Israel.

So David the son of Isai reigned over all Israel.

27 Tiden, han var Konge over Israel, udgjorde fyrretyve Aar; i Hebron herskede han syv Aar, i Jerusalem tre og tredive Aar.

And the days that he reigned over Israel, were forty years: in Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem three and thirty years.

28 Han døde i en god Alder, mæt af Dage, Rigdom og Ære; og hans Søn Salomo blev Konge i hans Sted.

And he died in a good age, full of days, and riches, and glory. And Solomon his son reigned in his stead.

29 Kong Davids Historie fra først til sidst staar optegnet i Seeren Samuels Krønike, Profeten Natans Krønike og Seeren Gads Krønike

Now the acts of king David first and last are written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer:

30 tillige med hele hans Regering og hans Heltegerninger og de Tildragelser, som hændtes ham og Israel og alle Lande og Riger.

And of all his reign, and his valour, and of the times that passed under him, either in Israel, or in all the kingdoms of the countries.
