Anden Krønikebog 6
1 Ved den Lejlighed sang Salomo: "HERREN har sagt, han vil bo i Mulmet!"
Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has said that he would live in thick darkness,
2 Nu har jeg bygget dig et Hus til Bolig, et Sted, du for evigt kan dvæle.
but I have built you a lofty residence, a place for you to live in forever.”
3 Derpå vendte Kongen sig om og velsignede hele Israels Forsamling, der imens stod op;
Then the king turned around and blessed all the assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing.
4 og han sagde: "Lovet være HERREN, Israels Gud, hvis Hånd har fuldført, hvad hans Mund talede til min Fader David, dengang han sagde:
He said, “May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised, who spoke to David my father, and has fulfilled it with his own hands, saying,
5 Fra den Dag jeg førte mit Folk ud af Ægypten, har jeg ikke udvalgt nogen By i nogen af Israels Stammer, hvor man skulde bygge et Hus til Bolig for mit Navn, og jeg har ikke udvalgt nogen Mand til at være Hersker over mit Folk Israel;
'Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house, in order for my name to be there. Neither did I choose any man to be prince over my people Israel.
6 men Jerusalem udvalgte jeg til Bolig for mit Navn, og David udvalgte jeg til at herske over mit Folk Israel.
However, I have chosen Jerusalem, so that my name might be there, and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.'
7 Og min Fader David fik i Sinde at bygge HERRENs, Israels Guds, Navn et Hus;
Now it was in the heart of David my father, to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
8 men HERREN sagde til min Fader David: At du har i Sinde at bygge mit Navn et Hus, er ret af dig;
But Yahweh said to David my father, 'In that it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well for it to be in your heart.
9 dog skal ikke du bygge det Hus, men din Søn, der udgår af din Lænd, skal bygge mit Navn det Hus.
Nevertheless, you must not build the house; instead, your son, one who will come from your loins, will build the house for my name.'
10 Nu har HERREN opfyldt det Ord, han talede, og jeg er trådt i min Fader Davids Sted og sidder på Israels Trone, som HERREN sagde, og jeg har bygget HERRENs, Israels Guds, Navn Huset;
Yahweh has carried out the word that he had said, for I have arisen in the place of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised. I have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
11 og jeg har der beredt en Plads til Arken med den Pagt, HERREN sluttede med Israeliterne."
I have placed the ark there, in which is Yahweh's covenant, which he made with the people of Israel.”
12 Derpå trådte Salomo frem foran HERRENs Alfer lige over for hele Israels Forsamling og udbredte Hænderne.
Solomon stood before the altar of Yahweh in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands.
13 Salomo havde nemlig ladet lave en fem Alen lang, fem Alen bred og tre Alen høj Talerstol af Hobber og stillet den op midt i Gården; på den trådte han op og kastede sig på Knæ foran hele Israels Forsamling, udbredte sine Hænder mod Himmelen
For he had made a bronze platform, five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high. He had placed it in the middle of the courtyard. He stood on it and knelt down before all the assembly of Israel, and then he spread out his hands toward the heavens.
14 og sagde: "HERRE, Israels Gud, der er ingen Gud som du i Himmelen og på Jorden, du, som holder fast ved din Pagt og din Miskundhed mod dine Tjenere, når de af hele deres Hjerte vandrer for dit Åsyn,
He said, “Yahweh, God of Israel, there is no God like you in the heavens or on the earth, who keeps covenant and steadfast love with your servants who walk before you with all their heart;
15 du, som har holdt, hvad du lovede din Tjener, min Fader David, og i Dag opfyldt med din Hånd, hvad du talede med din Mund.
you who have kept with your servant David my father, what you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is today.
16 Så hold da nu, HERRE, Israels Gud, hvad du lovede din Tjener, min Fader David, da du sagde: En Efterfølger skal aldrig fattes dig for mit Åsyn til at sidde på Israels Trone, når kun dine Sønner vil tage Vare på deres Vej og vandre i min Lov, som du har vandret for mit Åsyn!
Now then, Yahweh, God of Israel, carry out what you have promised to your servant David my father, when you said, 'You will not fail to have a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your descendants are careful to walk in my law, as you have walked before me.'
17 Så lad nu, HERRE, Israels Gud, det Ord opfyldes, som du tilsagde din Tjener David!
Now then, Yahweh, God of Israel, let your word be confirmed, which you have spoken to your servant David.
18 Men kao Gud da virkelig bo blandt Menneskene på Jorden? Nej visselig, Himlene, ja Himlenes Himle kan ikke rumme dig, langt mindre dette Hus, som jeg har bygget!
But will God actually live with mankind on the earth? Look, the entire universe and heaven itself cannot contain you—how much less can this temple that I have built!
19 Men vend dig til din Tjeners Bøn og Begæring, HERRE min Gud, så du hører det Råb og den Bøn, din Tjener opsender for dit Åsyn;
Yet please respect this prayer of your servant and his request, Yahweh my God; listen to the cry and prayer that your servant prays before you.
20 lad dine Øjne være åbne over dette Hus både Dag og Nat, over det Sted, hvor du har sagt, du vilde stedfæste dit Navn, så du hører den Bøn, din Tjener opsender, vendt mod dette Sted!
May your eyes be open toward this temple day and night, the place where you promised to put your name. May you listen to the prayer your servant prays toward this place.
21 Og hør den Bøn, dinjener og dit Folk Israel opsender, vendt mod dette Sted; du høre den der, hvor du bor, i Himmelen, du høre og tilgive!
So listen to the requests of your servant and of your people Israel when we pray toward this place. Yes, listen from the place where you live, from the heavens; and when you listen, forgive.
22 Når nogen synder imod sin Næste, og man afkræver ham Ed og lader ham sværge, og han kommer og aflægger Ed foran dit Alter i dette Hus,
If a man sins against his neighbor and is required to swear an oath, and if he comes and swears an oath before your altar in this house,
23 så høre du det i Himmelen og gøre det og dømme dine Tjenere imellem, så du gengælder den skyldige og lader hans Gerning komme overhans Hoved og frikender den uskyldige og gør med ham efter hans Uskyld.
listen from the heavens and act. Judge your servants, condemning the guilty and bringing what he has done upon his own head. Declare the innocent not guilty and give to him according to his righteousness.
24 Når dit Folk Israel tvinges til at fly for en Fjende, fordi de synder imod dig, og de så omvender sig og bekender dit Navn og opsender Bønner og Begæringer for dit Åsyn i dette Hus,
When your people Israel are defeated by an enemy because they have sinned against you, if they turn back to you, confess your name, pray, and request forgiveness before you in this temple—
25 så høre du det i Himmelen og tilgive dit Folk Israels Synd og føre dem tilbage til det Land, du gav dem og deres Fædre.
then please listen from the heavens and forgive the sin of your people Israel; bring them back to the land that you gave to them and to their ancestors.
26 Når Himmelen lukkes, så Regnen udebliver, fordi de synder imod dig, og de så beder, vendt mod dette Sted, og bekender dit Navn og omvender sig fra deres Synd, fordi du revser dem,
When the skies are shut up and there is no rain because the people have sinned against you—if they pray toward this place, confess your name, and turn from their sin when you have afflicted them—
27 så høre du det i Himmelen og tilgive din Tjeners og dit Folk Israels Synd, ja du vise dem den gode Vej, de skal vandre, og lade det regne i dit Land, som du gav dit Folk i Eje.
then listen in heaven and forgive the sin of your servants and of your people Israel, when you direct them to the good way in which they should walk. Send rain on your land, which you have given to your people as an inheritance.
28 Når der kommer Hungersnød i Landet, når der kommer Pest, når der kommer Hornbrand og Rust, Græshopper og Ædere, når Fjenden belejrer Folket i en af dets Byer, når alskens Plage og Sot indtræffer
Suppose there is famine in the land, or suppose that there is disease, blight or mildew, locusts or caterpillars; or suppose that its enemies attack the city gates in their land, or that there is any plague or sickness—
29 enhver Bøn, enhver Begæring, hvem den end kommer fra i hele dit Folk Israel, når de føler deres Plage og Smerte og udbreder Hænderne mod dette Hus,
and suppose then that prayers and requests are made by a person or by all your people Israel—each knowing the plague and sorrow in his own heart as he spreads out his hands toward this temple.
30 den høre du i Himmelen, der, hvor du bor, og tilgive, idet du gengælder enhver hans Færd, fordi du kender hans Hjerte, thi du alene kender Menneskebørnenes Hjerter,
Then listen from heaven, the place where you live; forgive, and reward every person for all his ways; you know his heart, because you and you only know the hearts of human beings.
31 for at de må frygte dig og følge dine Veje, al den Tid de lever på den Jord, du gav vore Fædre.
Do this so that they may fear you, so that they may walk in your ways all the days that they live on the land that you gave to our ancestors.
32 Selv den fremmede, der ikke hører til dit Folk Israel, men kommer fra et fjernt Land for dit store Navns, din stærke Hånds og din udstrakte Arms Skyld, når de kommer og beder, vendt mod dette Hus,
As for the foreigner who does not belong to your people Israel, but who—because of your great name, your mighty hand, and your outstretched arm—comes and prays toward this house,
33 da børe du det i Himmelen, der. hvor du bor, og da gøre du efter alt, hvad den fremmede råber til dig om, for at alle Jordens Folkeslag må lære dit Navn at kende og frygte dig ligesom dit Folk Israel og erkende, at dit Navn er nævnet over dette Hus, som jeg har bygget.
then please listen from heaven, the place where you live, and do all that the foreigner asks of you, so that all the people of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your own people Israel, and that they might know that this house I have built is called by your name.
34 Når dit Folk drager i Krig mod sine Fjender, hvor du end sender dem hen, og de beder til dig, vendt mod den By, du har udvalgt, og det Hus, jeg har bygget dit Navn,
Suppose that your people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way you may send them, and suppose that they pray to you toward this city that you have chosen, and toward the house that I have built for your name.
35 så høre du i Himmelen deres Bøn og Begæring og skaffe dem deres Ret.
Then listen from the heavens to their prayer, their request, and help their cause.
36 Når de synder imod dig - thi der er intet Menneske, som ikke synder - og du vredes på dem og giver dem i Fjendens Magt, og Sejrherrerne fører dem fangne til et andet Land, det være sig fjernt eller nær,
Suppose they sin against you—since there is no one who does not sin—and suppose that you are angry with them and hand them over to the enemy, so that the enemy carries them away and takes them as captives to their land, whether distant or near.
37 og de så går i sig selv i det Land, de er bortført til, og omvender sig og råber til dig i deres Landflygtigheds Land og siger: Vi har syndet, handlet ilde og været ugudelige!
Then suppose they realize they are in the land where they have been exiled, and suppose that they repent and seek favor from you in the land of their captivity. Suppose that they say, 'We have acted perversely and sinned. We have behaved wickedly.'
38 når de omvender sig til dig al hele deres Hjerte og af hele deres Sjæl i Sejrherrernes Land, som de bortførtes til, og de beder, vendt mod deres Land, som du gav deres Fædre, mod den By, du har udvalgt, og det Hus, jeg har bygget dit Navn -
Suppose that they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they took them as captives, and suppose that they pray toward their land, which you gave to their ancestors, and toward the city that you chose, and toward the house that I have built for your name.
39 så høre du i Himmelen, der, hvor du bor, deres Bøn og Begæring og skaffe dem deres Ret, og du tilgive dit Folk, hvad de syndede imod dig!
Then listen from the heavens, the place where you live, to their prayer and to their requests, and help their cause. Forgive your people, who have sinned against you.
40 Så lad da, min Gud, dine Øjne være åbne og dine Ører lytte til Bønnen, der bedes på dette Sted,
Now, my God, I beg you, let your eyes be open, and let your ears be attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.
41 bryd op da, Gud HERRE, til dit Hvilested, du selv og din Vældes Ark! Dine Præster, Gud HERRE, være iklædt Frelse, dine fromme glæde sig ved dine Goder!
Now then arise, Yahweh God, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength. Let your priests, Yahweh God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in your goodness.
42 Gud HERRE, afvis ikke din Salvede, kom Nåden mod din Tjener David i Hu!"
Yahweh God, do not turn the face of your anointed away from you. Keep in mind your acts of covenant loyalty for David, your servant.”
