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 spoke to the entire assembly: “My son Solomon, the one God has chosen, is still a tender boy. And yet the work is great, for a habitation is being prepared, not for man, but for God.

2 Jeg har derfor sat al min Kraft ind på 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.

Now with all my ability, I have prepared the expenses for the house of my God: gold for items of gold, and silver for those of silver, brass for those of brass, iron for those of iron, and wood for those of wood, and stones of onyx, and stones like alabaster, and stones of diverse colors, and every kind of precious stone, and marble from 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:

And in addition to these things that I have offered into the house of my God, I give, from my own belongings, gold and silver for the temple of my God, aside from those things that I have prepared for the holy shrine:

4 3.000 Talenter Guld, Offrguld, og 7.000 Talenter lutret Sølv til at overtrække Bygningernes Vægge med,

three thousand talents of gold, from the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of highly-refined silver, for the gilding of 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 Håndværkernes Hånd. Hvem er nu villig til i Dag at bringe HERREN Gaver?"

and gold for wherever there is need of gold, and silver for wherever there is need of silver, for the works to be done by the hands of the artisans. And if anyone freely offers, let him fill his hand this day, and let him offer whatever he wishes to the Lord.”

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

And so the leaders of the families, and the nobles of the tribes of Israel, as well as the tribunes and the centurions and the overseers of the king’s possessions, promised

7 og gav til Arbejdet på Guds Hus 5.000 Talenter og 10.000 Darejker Guld, 10.000 Talenter Sølv, 18.000 Talenter Kobber og 100.000 Talenter Jern;

and gave, for the works of the house of the Lord, five thousand talents and ten thousand pieces of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and also one hundred thousand talents of iron.

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

And whoever found precious stones among their belongings gave them to the treasuries of the house of the Lord, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.

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

And the people rejoiced, since they were promising their votive offerings willingly. For they were offering these to the Lord with all their heart. And king David also rejoiced with great gladness.

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 the entire multitude, and he said: “Blessed are you, O Lord God of Israel, our Father from eternity to eternity.

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

Yours, O Lord, is magnificence and power and glory, and also victory; and to you is praise. For all the things that are in heaven and on earth are yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are above all rulers.

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

Yours is wealth, and yours is glory. You have dominion over all things. In your hand is virtue and power. In your hand is greatness and authority over all things.

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

Now therefore, we confess to you, our God, and we praise your famous name.

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

Who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to promise all these things to you? All is yours. And so the things that we received from your hand, we have given to you.

15 Thi vi er fremmede for dit Åsyn og Gæster som alle vore Fædre; som em Skygge er vore Dage på Jorden, uden Håb!

For we are sojourners and new arrivals before you, as all our fathers were. Our days upon the earth are like a shadow, and there is no delay.

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

O Lord our God, all this abundance, which we have prepared so that a house may be built to your holy name, is from your hand, and all things are yours.

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 you test hearts, and that you love simplicity. Therefore, in the simplicity of my heart, I also have offered all these things joyfully. And I have seen, with immense gladness, your people, who have been found here, offering their donations to you.

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

O Lord, the God of our fathers Abraham and Isaac and Israel, preserve unto eternity this desire of their heart, and let this purpose remain forever, for the worship of you.

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!"

Also, I give to my son Solomon a perfect heart, so that he may keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your ceremonies, and so that he may accomplish all things, and may build the temple, for which I have prepared the expenses.”

20 Derpå 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.

Then David instructed the entire assembly: “Bless the Lord our God.” And the entire assembly blessed the Lord, the God of their fathers. And they bowed themselves, and they adored God, and next they reverenced the king.

21 Så 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 immolated victims to the Lord. And they offered holocausts on the following day: one thousand bulls, one thousand rams, one thousand lambs, with their libations and with every ritual, very abundantly, for all of Israel.

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

And they ate and drank before the Lord on that day, with great rejoicing. And they anointed Solomon, the son of David, a second time. And they anointed him to the Lord as the ruler, and Zadok as the high priest.

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

And Solomon sat upon the throne of the Lord as king, in place of his father David, and it pleased everyone. And all of Israel obeyed him.

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

Moreover, all the leaders, and the powerful, and all the sons of king David pledged with their hand, and they became subject to king Solomon.

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

Then the Lord magnified Solomon over all of Israel. And he gave to him a glorious reign, of a kind such as no one has had before him, as king of Israel.

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

Now David, the son of Jesse, reigned over all of Israel.

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

And the days during which he reigned over Israel were forty years. He reigned seven years in Hebron, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

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 at a good old age, full of days and wealth and glory. And his son Solomon reigned in his place.

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

Now the acts of king David, from the first to the last, have been 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.

concerning his entire reign and strength, and the times that passed under him, both in Israel and in all the kingdoms of the lands.
