Anden Krønikebog 8
1 Da de tyve År var omme, i hvilke Salomo havde bygget på HERRENs Hus og sit Palads -
And at the end of twenty years after Solomon had built the house of the Lord and his own house:
2 også de Byer, Huram afstod til Salomo, befæstede Salomo og lod Israeliterne bosætte sig i dem -
He built the cities which Hiram had given to Solomon, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
3 drog Salomo til Hamat-Zoba og indtog det.
He went also into Emath Suba, and possessed it.
4 Han befæstede også Tadmor i Ørkenen og alle de Forrådsbyer, han byggede i Hamat;
And he built Palmira in the desert, and he built other strong cities in Emath.
5 ligeledes genopbyggedehan Øvre og Nedre-Bet-Horon, så de blev Fæstninger med Mure, Porte og Portslåer,
And he built Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether, walled cities with Rates and bars and locks.
6 ligeledes Ba'alat og 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.
Balaath also and all the strong cities that were Solomon’s, and all the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen. All that Solomon had a mind, and designed, he built in Jerusalem and in Libanus, and in all the land of his dominion.
7 Alt, hvad der var tilbage af Hetiterne, Amoriterne, Perizziterne, Hivviterne og Jebusiterne, og som ikke hørte til Israeliterne,
All the people that were left of the Hethites, and the Amorrhites, and the Pherezites, and the Hevites, and the Jebusites, that were not of the stock of Israel:
8 deres Efterkommere, som var tilbage efter dem i Landet, og som Israeliterne ikke havde tilintetgjort. dem udskrev Salomo til Hoveriarbejde, som det er den Dag i Dag.
Of their children, and of the posterity, whom the children of Israel had not slain, Solomon made to be the tributaries, unto this day.
9 Af Israeliterne derimod gjorde Salomo ingen til Arbejdstrælle for sig, men de var Krigsfolk, Hærførere og Vognkæmpere hos ham og Førere for hans Stridsvogne og Rytteri.
But of the children of Israel he set none to serve in the king’s works: for they were men of war, and chief captains, and rulers of his chariots and horsemen.
10 Tallet på Kong Salomos Overfogeder var 250; de havde Tilsyn med Folkene.
And all the chief captains of king Solomon’s army were two hundred and fifty, who taught the people.
11 Faraos Datter flyttede Salomo fra Davidsbyen ind i det Hus, han havde bygget til hende; thi han tænkte: "Jeg vil ikke have en Kvinde boende i Kong David af Israels Palads, thi bellige er de Steder, hvor HERRENs Ark kommer."
And he removed the daughter of Pharao from the city of David, to the house which he had built for her. For the king said: My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, for it is sanctified: because the ark of the Lord came into it.
12 Nu ofrede Salomo Brændofre til HERREN på HERRENs Alter, som han Havde bygget foran Forhallen,
Then Solomon offered holocausts to the Lord upon the altar of the Lord which he had built before the porch,
13 idet han ofrede, som det efter Moses's Bud hørte sig til hver enkelt Dag, på Sabbaterne, Nymånedagene og Højtiderne tre Gange om Året, de usyrede Brøds Højtid, Ugernes Højtid og Løvhytternes Højtid.
That every day an offering might be made on it according to the ordinance of Moses, in the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the festival days three times a year, that is to say, in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.
14 Og efter den Ordning, hans Fader David havde truffet, satte han Præsternes Skifter til deres Arbejde og Leviterne til deres Tjeneste, til at synge Lovsangen og gå Præsterne til Hånde efter hver Dags Behov, ligeledes Dørvogterne efter deres Skifter til at holde Vagt ved de enkelte Porte; thi således var den Guds Mand Davids Bud.
And he appointed according to the order of David his father the offices of the priests in their ministries: and the Levites in their order to give praise, and minister before the priests according to the duty of every day: and the porters in their divisions by gate and gate: for so David the man of God had commanded.
15 Og man fraveg ikke i mindste Måde Kongens Bud vedrørende Præsterne og Leviterne og Skatkamrene.
And the priests and Levites departed not from the king’s commandments, as to any thing that he had commanded, and as to the keeping of the treasures.
16 Således fuldendtes hele Salomos Værk, fra den Dag Grundvolden lagdes til HERRENs Hus, til Salomo var færdig med HERRENs Hus.
Solomon had all charges prepared, from the day that he founded the house of the Lord, until the day wherein he finished it.
17 Ved den Tid drog Salomo til Ezjongeber og Elot ved Edoms Kyst;
Then Solomon went to Asiongaber, and to Ailath, on the coast of the Red Sea, which is in the land of Edom.
18 og Huram sendte ham Folk med Skibe og befarne Søfolk, der sammen med Salomos Folk sejlede til Ofir, hvor de hentede 450 Talenter Guld, som de bragte Kong Salomo.
And Hiram sent him ships by the hands of his servants, and skillful mariners, and they went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir, and they took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought it to king Solomon.
