Anden Krønikebog 9
1 Da Dronningen af Saba hørte Salomos Ry, kom hun, for at prøve ham med Gaader, til Jerusalem med et saare stort Følge og med Kameler, der har Røgelse, Guld i Mængde og Ædelsten. Og da hun var kommet til Salomo, talte hun til ham om alt, hvad der laa hende paa Hjerte.
And when the Queene of Sheba heard of the fame of Salomon, she came to proue Salomon with hard questions at Ierusalem, with a very great traine, and camels that bare sweete odours and much golde, and precious stones: and when she came to Salomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
2 Men Salomo svarede paa alle hendes Spørgsmaal, og intet som helst var skjult for Salomo, han gav hende Svar paa alt.
And Salomon declared her all her questions, and there was nothing hid from Salomon, which he declared not vnto her.
3 Og da Dronningen at Saba saa Salomos Visdom, Huset, han havde bygget,
Then the Queene of Sheba sawe the wisedome of Salomon, and the house that he had buylt,
4 Maden paa hans Bord, hans Folks Boliger, hans Tjeneres Optræden og deres Klæder, hans Mundskænke og deres Klæder og Brændofrene, han ofrede i HERRENS Hus, var hun ude af sig selv;
And the meate of his table, and the sitting of his seruants, and the order of his wayters, and their apparel, and his butlers, and their apparel, and his burnt offrings which he offred in the house of the Lord, and she was greatly astonied.
5 og hun sagde til Kongen: »Sandt var, hvad jeg i mit Land hørte sige om dig og din Visdom!
And she saide to the King, It was a true worde which I heard in mine owne lande of thy sayings, and of thy wisedome:
6 Jeg troede ikke, hvad der sagdes, før jeg kom og saa det med egne Øjne; og se, ikke engang det halve af din store Visdom er mig fortalt, thi du overgaar, hvad Rygtet sagde mig om dig!
Howbeit I beleeued not their report, vntil I came, and mine eyes had seene it: and beholde, the one halfe of thy great wisedom was not told me: for thou exceedest the fame that I heard.
7 Lykkelige dine Mænd, lykkelige dine Folk, som altid er om dig og hører din Visdom!
Happie are thy men, and happie are these thy seruants, which stande before thee alway, and heare thy wisedome.
8 Lovet være HERREN din Gud, som fandt Behag i dig og satte dig paa sin Trone som Konge for HERREN din Gud. Fordi din Gud elsker Israel og for at opretholde det evindeligt, satte han dig til Konge over dem, til at øve Ret og Retfærdighed!«
Blessed be the Lord thy God, which loued thee, to set thee on his throne as King, in the steade of the Lord thy God: because thy God loueth Israel, to establish it for euer, therefore hath he made thee King ouer them, to execute iudgement and iustice.
9 Derpaa gav hun Kongen 120 Guldtalenter, Røgelse i store Mængder og Ædelsten; og aldrig har der siden været saa megen Røgelse i Landet som den, Dronningen af Saba gav Kong Salomo.
Then she gaue the King sixe score talents of golde, and of sweete odours exceeding much and precious stones: neither was there such sweete odours since, as the Queene of Sheba gaue vnto King Salomon.
10 Desuden bragte Hurams og Salomos Folk, som hentede Guld i Ofir, Algummimtræ og Ædelsten;
And the seruants also of Huram, and the seruants of Salomon which brought golde from Ophir, brought Algummim wood and precious stones.
11 og af Algummimtræet lod Kongen lave Rækværk til HERRENS Hus og Kongens Palads, desuden Citre og Harper til Sangerne; og Mage dertil var ikke tidligere set i Judas Land.
And the King made of the Algummim wood staires in the house of the Lord, and in the Kings house, and harpes and violes for singers: and there was no such seene before in the lande of Iudah.
12 Og Kong Salomo gav Dronningen af Saba alt, hvad hun ønskede og bad om, langt ud over hvad hun bragte til Kongen. Derpaa vendte hun med sit Følge tilbage til sit Land.
And King Salomon gaue to the Queene of Sheba euery pleasant thing that she asked, besides for that which she had brought vnto the King: so she returned and went to her owne countrey, both she, and her seruants.
13 Vægten af det Guld, som i eet Aar indførtes af Salomo, udgjorde 666 Guldtalenter,
Also the weight of golde that came to Salomon in one yeere, was sixe hundreth three score and sixe talents of golde,
14 deri ikke medregnet hvad der indkom i Afgift fra de undertvungne Folk og ved Købmændenes Handel og fra alle Arabiens Konger og Landets Statholdere, som bragte Salomo Guld og Sølv.
Besides that which chapmen and marchants brought: and all the Kings of Arabia, and the princes of the countrey brought golde and siluer to Salomon.
15 Kong Salomo lod hamre 200 Guldskjolde, hvert paa 600 Sekel Guld,
And King Salomon made two hundreth targets of beaten golde, and sixe hundreth shekels of beaten golde went to one target,
16 og 300 mindre Guldskjolde, hvert paa 300 Sekel Guld; dem lod Kongen henlægge i Libanonskovhuset.
And three hundreth shieldes of beaten golde: three hundreth shekels of golde went to one shielde, and the King put them in the house of the wood of Lebanon.
17 Fremdeles lod Kongen lave en stor, Elfenbenstrone, overtrukket med lutret Guld.
And the King made a great throne of yuorie and ouerlaid it with pure golde.
18 Tronen havde seks Trin, og paa dens Ryg var der et Lam af Guld; paa begge Sider af Sædet var der Arme, og ved Armene stod der to Løver;
And the throne had sixe steppes, with a footestoole of gold fastened to the throne, and stayes on either side on the place of the seate, and two lyons standing by the stayes.
19 tillige stod der tolv Løver paa de seks Trin, seks paa hver Side. Der er ikke lavet Mage til Trone i noget andet Rige.
And twelue lyons stoode there on the sixe steps on either side: there was not the like made in any kingdome.
20 Alle Kong Salomos Drikkekar var af Guld og alle Redskaber i Libanonskovhuset af fint Guld; Sølv regnedes ikke for noget i Kong Salomos Dage.
And all King Salomons drinking vessels were of golde, and all the vessels of the house of the wood of Lebanon were of pure gold: for siluer was nothing esteemed in ye dayes of Salomon.
21 Kongen havde nemlig Skibe, det sejlede paa Tarsis med Hurams Folk; og een Gang hvert tredje Aar kom Tarsisskibene, ladet med Guld, Sølv, Elfenben, Aber og Paafugle.
For the Kings ships went to Tarshish with the seruants of Huram, euery three yeere once came the ships of Tarshish, and brought golde, and siluer, yuorie, and apes, and peacockes.
22 Kong Salomo overgik alle Jordens Konger i Rigdom og Visdom.
So King Salomon excelled all the Kings of the earth in riches and wisedome.
23 Alle Jordens Konger søgte hen til Salomo for at høre den Visdom, Gud havde lagt i hans Hjerte;
And all the Kings of the earth sought the presence of Salomon, to heare his wisedome that God had put in his heart.
24 og alle bragte de Gaver med: Sølv— og Guldsager, Klæder, Vaaben, Røgelse, Heste og Muldyr; saaledes gik det Aar efter Aar.
And they brought euery man his present, vessels of siluer, and vessels of golde, and raiment, armour, and sweet odours, horses, and mules, from yeere to yeere.
25 Salomo havde 4000 Spand Heste og Vogne og 12 000 Ryttere; dem lagde han dels i Vognbyerne, dels hos sig i Jerusalem.
And Salomon had foure thousand stalles of horses, and charets, and twelue thousand horsmen, whom he bestowed in the charet cities, and with the King at Ierusalem.
26 Han herskede over alle Konger fra Floden til Filisternes Land og Ægyptens Grænse.
And he reigned ouer all the Kings from the Riuer euen vnto the land of the Philistims, and to the border of Egypt.
27 Kongen bragte det dertil, at Sølv i Jerusalem var lige saa almindeligt som Sten, og Cedertræ lige saa almindeligt som Morbærfigentræ i Lavlandet.
And the King gaue siluer in Ierusalem, as stones, and gaue cedar trees as the wilde fig trees, that are aboundant in the plaine.
28 Der indførtes Heste til Salomo fra Mizrajim og fra alle Lande.
And they brought vnto Salomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all landes.
29 Salomos øvrige Historie fra først til sidst findes optegnet i Profeten Natans Krønike, Siloniten Ahijas Profeti og Seeren Jedos Syn om Jeroboam, Nebats Søn.
Concerning the rest of the actes of Salomon first and last, are they not written in the booke of Nathan the Prophet, and in the prophecie of Ahiiah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Ieedo the Seer against Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat?
30 Salomo herskede i Jerusalem over hele Israel i fyrretyve Aar.
And Salomon reigned in Ierusalem ouer all Israel fourtie yeeres.
31 Derpaa lagde Salomo sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i sin Fader Davids By. Og hans Søn Rehabeam blev Konge i hans Sted.
And Salomon slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the citie of Dauid his father: and Rehoboam his sonne reigned in his steade.
