< 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,
And it cometh to pass, at Solomon's finishing to build the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king, and all the desire of Solomon that he delighted to do,
2 lod HERREN sig anden Gang til Syne for ham, som han havde ladet sig til Syne for ham i Gibeon;
that Jehovah appeareth unto Solomon a second time, as He appeared unto him in 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.
and Jehovah saith unto him, 'I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication with which thou hast made supplication before Me; I have hallowed this house that thou hast built to put My name there — unto the age, and Mine eyes and My heart have been there all the days.
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,
'And thou — if thou dost walk before Me as David thy father walked, in simplicity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee — My statutes and My judgments thou dost keep —
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 have established the throne of thy kingdom over Israel — to the age, as I spake unto David thy father, saying, There is not cut off to thee a man from [being] 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,
'If ye at all turn back — you and your sons — from after Me, and keep not My commands — My statutes, that I have set before you, and ye have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to 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 have cut off Israel from the face of the ground that I have given to them, and the house that I have hallowed for My name I send away from My presence, and Israel hath been for a simile and for a byword among all the 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?
as to this house, [that] is high, every one passing by it is astonished, and hath hissed, and they have said, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus 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 have said, Because that they have forsaken Jehovah their God, who brought out their fathers from the land of Egypt, and they lay hold on other gods, and bow themselves to them, and serve them; therefore hath Jehovah brought in upon them all this evil.'
10 Da de tyve Aar var omme, i hvilke Salomo havde bygget paa de to Bygninger, HERRENS Hus og Kongens Palads —
And it cometh to pass, at the end of twenty years, that Solomon hath built the two houses, the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king.
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.
Hiram king of Tyre hath assisted Solomon with cedar-trees, and with fir-trees, and with gold, according to all his desire; then doth king Solomon give to 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;
And Hiram cometh out from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon hath given to him, and they have not been right in his eyes,
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.
and he saith, 'What [are] these cities that thou hast given to me, my brother?' and one calleth them the land of Cabul unto this day.
14 Men Hiram sendte Kongen 120 Guldtalenter.
And Hiram sendeth to the king a 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
And this [is] the matter of the tribute that king Solomon hath lifted up, to build the house of Jehovah, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and 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 hath gone up and doth capture Gezer, and doth burn it with fire, and the Canaanite who is dwelling in the city he hath slain, and giveth it [with] presents to his daughter, wife of Solomon.)
17 Nu genopbyggede Salomo Gezer), Nedre-Bet-Horon,
And Solomon buildeth Gezer, and Beth-Horon the lower,
18 Ba'alat, Tamar i Ørkenen i Juda Land,
and Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land;
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:
and all the cities of stores that king Solomon hath, and the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen, and the desire of Solomon that he desired to build 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,
The whole of the people that is left of the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, who [are] not of the sons 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 sons who are left behind them in the land, whom the sons of Israel have not been able to devote — he hath even lifted up [on] them a tribute of service unto 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. —
And out of the sons of Israel Solomon hath not appointed a servant, for they [are] the men of war, and his servants, and his heads, and his captains, and the heads of his chariots, and his horsemen.
23 Tallet paa Overfogederne, der ledede Arbejdet for Salomo, var 550; de havde Tilsyn med Folkene, der arbejdede. —
These [are] the heads of the officers who [are] over the work of Solomon, fifty and five hundred, those ruling among the people who are labouring 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. —
Only, the daughter of Pharaoh went up out of the city of David unto her house that [Solomon] 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.
And Solomon caused to ascend, three times in a year, burnt-offerings and peace-offerings on the altar that he built to Jehovah, and he perfumed it with that which [is] before Jehovah, and finished the house.
26 Kong Salomo byggede ogsaa Skibe i Ezjongeber, der ligger ved Elat ved det røde Havs Kyst i Edom;
And a navy hath king Solomon made in Ezion-Geber, that is beside Eloth, on the edge of the Sea of Suph, in the land of Edom.
27 og Hiram sendte sine Folk, befarne Søfolk, om Bord paa Skibene sammen med Salomos Folk.
And Hiram sendeth in the navy his servants, shipmen knowing the sea, with servants of Solomon,
28 De sejlede til Ofir, hvor de hentede 420 Talenter Guld, som de bragte Kong Salomo.
and they come in to Ophir and take thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and bring [it] in unto king Solomon.
