Første Kongebog 9
1 Men da Salomo var færdig med at opføre HERRENs Hus og Kongens Palads og alt, hvad han havde fået Lyst til og sat sig for at udføre,
Now when Solomon had finished building the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and had achieved all that he had desired 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 him a 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 Åsyn. 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 the LORD said to him: “I have heard your prayer and petition before Me. I have consecrated this temple you have built by putting My Name there forever; My eyes and My heart will be there for all time.
4 Hvis du nu vandrer for mit Åsyn som din Fader David i Hjertets Uskyld og i Upriglighed, så du gør alt, hvad jeg har pålagt dig, og holder mine Anordninger og Lovbud,
And as for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, with a heart of integrity and uprightness, doing all I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and ordinances,
5 så vil jeg opretholde din Kongetrone i Israel evindelig, som jeg lovede din Fader David, da jeg sagde: En Efterfølger skal aldrig fattes dig på Israels Trone.
then I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised your father David when I said, ‘You will never fail to have 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 Annordninger, som jeg har forelagt eder, men går hen og dyrker andre Guder og tilbeder dem
But if indeed you or your sons turn away from following Me and do not keep the commandments and statutes I have set before you, and if you go off to serve and worship other gods,
7 så vil jeg udrydde Israel fra det Land, jeg gav dem; og det Hus, jeg har helliget for mit Navn, vil jeg forkaste fra mit Åsyn, og Israel skal blive til Spot og Spe blandt alle Folk,
then I will cut off Israel from the land that I have given them, and I will banish from My presence this temple I have sanctified for My Name. Then Israel will become an object of scorn and ridicule among all peoples.
8 og dette Hus skal blive en Ruindynge, og enhver, som går der forbi, skal blive slået af Rædsel og give sig til at hånfløjte. Og når man siger: Hvorfor har HERREN handlet således mod dette Land og dette Hus?
And when this temple has become a heap of rubble, all who pass by it will be appalled and will hiss and say, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’
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 others will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the LORD their God who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—because of this, the LORD has brought all this disaster upon them.’”
10 Da de tyve År var omme, i hvilke Salomo havde bygget på de to Bygninger, HERRENs Hus og Kongens Palads -
Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon built these two houses, the house of the LORD and the royal palace,
11 Kong Hiram af Tyrus havde sendt Salomo Cedertræ, Cyprestræ og Guld, så meget han ønskede da gav Kong Salomo Hiram tyve Byer i Landskabet Galilæa.
King Solomon gave twenty towns in the land of Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, who had supplied him with cedar and cypress logs and gold for his every desire.
12 Men da Hiram kom fra Tyrus for at se de Byer, Salomo havde givet ham, syntes han ikke om dem;
So Hiram went out from Tyre to inspect the towns that Solomon had given him, but he was not pleased with them.
13 og han sagde: "Hvad er det for Byer, du har givet mig, Broder?" Derfor kaldte man den Habullandet, som det hedder den Dag i Dag
“What are these towns you have given me, my brother?” asked Hiram, and he called them the Land of Cabul, as they are called to this day.
14 Men Hiram sendte Kongen 120 Guldtalenter.
And Hiram had sent the king 120 talents of gold.
15 På følgende Måde 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 account of the forced labor that King Solomon imposed to build the house of the LORD, his own palace, the supporting terraces, and the wall of Jerusalem, as well as Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
16 Farao, Ægypterkongen, var draget op, havde indtaget Gezer og stukket det i Brand; alle Kanånæere, der boede i Byen, havde han ladet dræbe og derpå givet sin Datter, Salomos Hustru den i Medgift.
Pharaoh king of Egypt had attacked and captured Gezer. He had set it on fire, killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
17 Nu genopbyggede Salomo Gezer, Nedre-Bet-Horon,
So Solomon rebuilt Gezer, Lower Beth-horon,
18 Bålat, Tamar i Ørkenen i Juda Land,
Baalath, and Tamar in the Wilderness of Judah,
19 alle Salomos Forrådsbyer, Vognbyerne og Rytterbyerne, og alt andet, som Salomo fik Lyst til at bygge i Jerusalem, i Libanon og i hele sit Rige:
as well as all the store cities that Solomon had for his chariots and horses —whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout 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 remained of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (the people who were not Israelites)—
21 deres Efterkommere, som var tilbage efter dem i Landet, og som Israeliterne ikke havde været i Stand til at lægge Band på, dem udskrev Salomo til Hoveriarbejde, som det er den Dag i Dag.
their descendants who remained in the land, those whom the Israelites were unable to devote to destruction —Solomon conscripted these people to be forced laborers, as they are 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 Solomon did not consign any of the Israelites to slavery, because they were his men of war, his servants, his officers, his captains, and the commanders of his chariots and cavalry.
23 Tallet på Overfogederne, der ledede Arbejdet for Salomo, var 550; de havde Tilsyn med Folkene, der arbejdede.
They were also the chief officers over Solomon’s projects: 550 supervisors over the people who did the work.
24 Faraos Datter var lige flyttet fra Davidsbyen ind i det Hus, han havde bygget til hende, da tog han fat på at opføre Millo.
As soon as Pharaoh’s daughter had come up from the City of David to the palace that Solomon had built for her, he built the supporting terraces.
25 Tre Gange om Året ofrede Salomo Brændofre og Takofre på det Alter, han bavde bygget HERREN, og tændte Offerild for HERRENs Åsyn; og han fuldførte Templet.
Three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar he had built for the LORD, burning incense with them before the LORD. So he completed the temple.
26 Kong Salomo byggede også Skibe i Ezjongeber, der ligger ved Elat ved det røde Havs Kyst i Edom;
King Solomon also assembled a fleet of ships at Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth in Edom, on the shore of the Red Sea.
27 og Hiram sendte sine Folk, befarne Søfolk, om Bord på Skibene sammen med Salomos Folk.
And Hiram sent his servants, men who knew the sea, to serve in the fleet with Solomon’s servants.
28 De sejlede til Ofir, hvor de hen tede 420 Talenter Guld, som de bragte Kong Salomo.
They sailed to Ophir and imported gold from there—420 talents —and delivered it to Solomon.
