Første Kongebog 9
1 Men da Salomo var færdig med at opføre HERRENS Hus og Kongens Palads og alt, hvad han havde faaet Lyst til og sat sig for at udføre,
When Solomon had finished the building of the LORD’s house, the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he was pleased to do,
2 lod HERREN sig anden Gang til Syne for ham, som han havde ladet sig til Syne for ham i Gibeon;
The LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
3 og HERREN sagde til ham: »Jeg har hørt den Bøn og Begæring, du opsendte for mit Aasyn. Jeg har helliget dette Hus, som du har bygget, for der at stedfæste mit Navn til evig Tid, og mine Øjne og mit Hjerte skal være der alle Dage.
The LORD said to him, “I have heard your prayer and your supplication that you have made before me. I have made this house holy, which you have built, to put my name there forever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.
4 Hvis du nu vandrer for mit Aasyn som din Fader David i Hjertets Uskyld og i Oprigtighed, saa du gør alt, hvad jeg har paalagt dig, og holder mine Anordninger og Lovbud,
As for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, in integrity of heart and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances,
5 saa vil jeg opretholde din Kongetrone i Israel evindelig, som jeg lovede din Fader David, da jeg sagde: En Efterfølger skal aldrig fattes dig paa Israels Trone.
then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I promised to David your father, saying, ‘There shall not fail from you a man on the throne of Israel.’
6 Men hvis I eller eders Børn vender eder bort fra mig og ikke holder mine Bud, mine Anordninger, som jeg har forelagt eder, men gaar hen og dyrker andre Guder og tilbeder dem,
But if you turn away from following me, you or your children, and not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them,
7 saa vil jeg udrydde Israel fra det Land, jeg gav dem; og det Hus, jeg har helliget for mit Navn, vil jeg forkaste fra mit Aasyn, og Israel skal blive til Spot og Spe blandt alle Folk,
then I will cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and I will cast this house, which I have made holy for my name, out of my sight; and Israel will be a proverb and a byword amongst all peoples.
8 og dette Hus skal blive en Ruindynge, og enhver, som gaar der forbi, skal blive slaaet af Rædsel og give sig til at haanfløjte. Og naar man siger: Hvorfor har HERREN handlet saaledes mod dette Land og dette Hus?
Though this house is so high, yet everyone who passes by it will be astonished and hiss; and they will say, ‘Why has the LORD done this to this land and to this house?’
9 skal der svares: Fordi de forlod HERREN deres Gud, som førte deres Fædre ud af Ægypten, og holdt sig til andre Guder, tilbad og dyrkede dem; derfor har HERREN bragt al denne Elendighed over dem!«
and they will answer, ‘Because they abandoned the LORD their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and embraced other gods, and worshipped them, and served them. Therefore the LORD has brought all this evil on them.’”
10 Da de tyve Aar var omme, i hvilke Salomo havde bygget paa de to Bygninger, HERRENS Hus og Kongens Palads —
At the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the two houses, the LORD’s house and the king’s house
11 Kong Hiram af Tyrus havde sendt Salomo Cedertræ, Cyprestræ og Guld, saa meget han ønskede da gav Kong Salomo Hiram tyve Byer i Landskabet Galilæa.
(now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and cypress trees, and with gold, according to all his desire), King Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
12 Men da Hiram kom fra Tyrus for at se de Byer, Salomo havde givet ham, syntes han ikke om dem;
Hiram came out of Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they didn’t please him.
13 og han sagde: »Hvad er det for Byer, du har givet mig, Broder?« Derfor kaldte man den Kabullandet, som det hedder den Dag i Dag.
He said, “What cities are these which you have given me, my brother?” He called them the land of Cabul to this day.
14 Men Hiram sendte Kongen 120 Guldtalenter.
Hiram sent to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold.
15 Paa følgende Maade hang det sammen med de Hoveriarbejdere, Kong Salomo udskrev til at opføre HERRENS Hus, hans eget Palads, Millo, Jerusalems Mur, Hazor, Megiddo og Gezer
This is the reason of the forced labour which King Solomon conscripted: to build the LORD’s house, his own house, Millo, Jerusalem’s wall, Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
16 (Farao, Ægypterkongen, var draget op, havde indtaget Gezer og stukket det i Brand; alle Kana'anæere, der boede i Byen, havde han ladet dræbe og derpaa givet sin Datter, Salomos Hustru den i Medgift.
Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, taken Gezer, burnt it with fire, killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and given it for a wedding gift to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
17 Nu genopbyggede Salomo Gezer), Nedre-Bet-Horon,
Solomon built in the land Gezer, Beth Horon the lower,
18 Ba'alat, Tamar i Ørkenen i Juda Land,
Baalath, Tamar in the wilderness,
19 alle Salomos Forraadsbyer, Vognbyerne og Rytterbyerne, og alt andet, som Salomo fik Lyst til at bygge i Jerusalem, i Libanon og i hele sit Rige:
all the storage cities that Solomon had, the cities for his chariots, the cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
20 Alt, hvad der var tilbage af Amoriterne, Hetiterne, Perizziterne, Hivviterne og Jebusiterne, og som ikke hørte til Israeliterne,
As for all the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel—
21 deres Efterkommere, som var tilbage efter dem i Landet, og som Israeliterne ikke havde været i Stand til at lægge Band paa, dem udskrev Salomo til Hoveriarbejde, som det er den Dag i Dag.
their children who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy—of them Solomon raised a levy of bondservants to this day.
22 Af Israeliterne derimod satte Salomo ingen til Arbejde, men de var Krigsfolk og Hoffolk, Hærførere og Høvedsmænd hos, ham og Førere for hans Stridsvogne og Rytteri. —
But of the children of Israel Solomon made no bondservants; but they were the men of war, his servants, his princes, his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.
23 Tallet paa Overfogederne, der ledede Arbejdet for Salomo, var 550; de havde Tilsyn med Folkene, der arbejdede. —
These were the five hundred and fifty chief officers who were over Solomon’s work, who ruled over the people who laboured in the work.
24 Faraos Datter var lige flyttet fra Davidsbyen ind i det Hus, han havde bygget til hende, da tog han fat paa at opføre Millo. —
But Pharaoh’s daughter came up out of David’s city to her house which Solomon had built for her. Then he built Millo.
25 Tre Gange om Aaret ofrede Salomo Brændofre og Takofre paa det Alter, han havde bygget HERREN, og tændte Offerild for HERRENS Aasyn; og han fuldførte Templet.
Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he built to the LORD three times per year, burning incense with them on the altar that was before the LORD. So he finished the house.
26 Kong Salomo byggede ogsaa Skibe i Ezjongeber, der ligger ved Elat ved det røde Havs Kyst i Edom;
King Solomon made a fleet of ships in Ezion Geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
27 og Hiram sendte sine Folk, befarne Søfolk, om Bord paa Skibene sammen med Salomos Folk.
Hiram sent in the fleet his servants, sailors who had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
28 De sejlede til Ofir, hvor de hentede 420 Talenter Guld, som de bragte Kong Salomo.
They came to Ophir, and fetched from there gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to King Solomon.
