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 comes to pass, at Solomon’s finishing to build the house of YHWH, 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 YHWH appears to Solomon a second time, as He appeared to him in 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 YHWH says to him, “I have heard your prayer and your supplication with which you have made supplication before Me; I have hallowed this house that you have built to put My Name there for all time, and My eyes and My heart have been there [for] all the days.
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 you—if you walk before Me as your father David walked, in simplicity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, [and] you keep My statutes and My judgments,
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 have established the throne of your kingdom over Israel for all time, as I spoke to your father David, saying, A man of yours is never cut off 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 Annordninger, som jeg har forelagt eder, men går hen og dyrker andre Guder og tilbeder dem
If you at all turn back—you and your sons—from after Me, and do not keep My commands [and] My statutes that I have set before you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves 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 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 has been for an allegory and for a byword among all the 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?
as for this house [that] is high, everyone passing by it is astonished, and has hissed, and they have said, Why has YHWH done this 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 their God YHWH, 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 YHWH has brought all this calamity on them.”
10 Da de tyve År var omme, i hvilke Salomo havde bygget på de to Bygninger, HERRENs Hus og Kongens Palads -
And it comes to pass, at the end of twenty years, that Solomon has built the two houses, the house of YHWH, and the house of the king.
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.
Hiram king of Tyre has assisted Solomon with cedar-trees, and with fir-trees, and with gold, according to all his desire; then King Solomon gives 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 comes out from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon has 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 Habullandet, som det hedder den Dag i Dag
and he says, “What [are] these cities that you have given to me, my brother?” And one calls them the land of Cabul to this day.
14 Men Hiram sendte Kongen 120 Guldtalenter.
And Hiram sends one hundred and twenty talents of gold to the king.
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 matter of the tribute that King Solomon has lifted up, to build the house of YHWH, 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 Kanånæere, der boede i Byen, havde han ladet dræbe og derpå givet sin Datter, Salomos Hustru den i Medgift.
(Pharaoh king of Egypt has gone up and captures Gezer, and burns it with fire, and he has slain the Canaanite who is dwelling in the city, and gives it [as] presents to his daughter, wife of Solomon).
17 Nu genopbyggede Salomo Gezer, Nedre-Bet-Horon,
And Solomon builds Gezer, and the lower Beth-Horon,
18 Bålat, Tamar i Ørkenen i Juda Land,
and Ba‘alath, and Tadmor 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 cities of stores that King Solomon has, 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 på, 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 has even lifted up a tribute of service [on] them 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. -
And Solomon has not appointed a servant out of the sons of Israel, 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 på Overfogederne, der ledede Arbejdet for Salomo, var 550; de havde Tilsyn med Folkene, der arbejdede.
These [are] the five hundred and fifty heads of the officers who [are] over the work of Solomon, those ruling among the people who are laboring in 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.
Only, the daughter of Pharaoh went up out of the City of David to her house that [Solomon] built for her; then he built 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 caused burnt-offerings and peace-offerings to ascend three times in a year on the altar that he built for YHWH, and he burned it as incense with that which [is] before YHWH, and 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 has made a navy 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 på Skibene sammen med Salomos Folk.
And Hiram sends his servants in the navy, shipmen knowing the sea, with servants of Solomon,
28 De sejlede til Ofir, hvor de hen tede 420 Talenter Guld, som de bragte Kong Salomo.
and they come to Ophir, and take four hundred and twenty talents of gold from there, and bring [it] to King Solomon.
