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,
And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to execute:
2 lod HERREN sig anden Gang til Syne for ham, som han havde ladet sig til Syne for ham i Gibeon;
That the Lord appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gib'on.
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 unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast offered before me; I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there at all times.
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 thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in rectitude, to do in accordance with all that I have commanded thee, [and] wilt keep my statutes and my 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 will I establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel for ever; as I have spoken concerning David thy father, saying, There shall never fail thee a man upon 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 ye will at all turn away, ye or your children, from following me, and will not keep my commandments [and] my statutes which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods, and bow down to them:
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 will I cut off Israel from the face of the land which I have given them; and the house, which I have hallowed unto my name, will I cast away from my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a by-word among all the nations;
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 at this house, [which] should be so exalted, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and men will say, Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and unto 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 shall say, For the cause that they forsook the Lord their God, who had brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and took hold of other gods, and bowed down to them, and served them: therefore hath the Lord brought upon them all this evil.
10 Da de tyve År var omme, i hvilke Salomo havde bygget på de to Bygninger, HERRENs Hus og Kongens Palads -
And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the Lord, and the king's house,
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.
(Now Hiram the king of Tyre had supplied Solomon with cedar-trees and fir-trees, and with gold, according to all his desire, ) that king Solomon then gave 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 came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; but they were not right in his eyes.
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
And he said, What kind of cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them, The land of Cabul, until this day.
14 Men Hiram sendte Kongen 120 Guldtalenter.
And Hiram sent to the king one hundred and twenty 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
And this is the manner of the levy which king Solomon raised, to build the house of the Lord, and his own house, and the Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Chazor, and 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 gone up, and captured Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it as a marriage-present unto his daughter, Solomon's wife.
17 Nu genopbyggede Salomo Gezer, Nedre-Bet-Horon,
And Solomon built Gezer, and lower Beth-choron,
18 Bålat, Tamar i Ørkenen i Juda Land,
And Ba'alath, and Thadmor in the wilderness, in the land,
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:
And all the treasure-cities that Solomon had, and the cities for the chariots, and the cities for the horsemen, and the [other] desire of Solomon which 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,
All the people that were left of the Emorites, 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 på, dem udskrev Salomo til Hoveriarbejde, som det er den Dag i Dag.
Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel had not been able utterly to destroy, these did Solomon levy as tributary laborers until 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. -
Yet of the children of Israel did Solomon make no one a bond-man; but they were the men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and the officers of his chariots, and of his horsemen.
23 Tallet på Overfogederne, der ledede Arbejdet for Salomo, var 550; de havde Tilsyn med Folkene, der arbejdede.
These [also] were the chiefs of the superintendents that were over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, who ruled over the people that wrought on 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.
But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which he had built for her: then did he build the Millo.
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.
And Solomon did offer three times in every year burnt-offerings and peace-offerings upon the altar which he had built unto the Lord, and he burnt incense upon the one that was before the Lord. So he finished the house.
26 Kong Salomo byggede også Skibe i Ezjongeber, der ligger ved Elat ved det røde Havs Kyst i Edom;
And king Solomon made a ship in 'Ezyon-geber, which is near Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
27 og Hiram sendte sine Folk, befarne Søfolk, om Bord på Skibene sammen med Salomos Folk.
And Hiram sent in the ship his servants, seamen, that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
28 De sejlede til Ofir, hvor de hen tede 420 Talenter Guld, som de bragte Kong Salomo.
And they came to Ophir, and fetched from there gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
