2 Chronicles 8
1 Now at the end of twenty years, in which time Solomon had put up the house of the Lord and a house for himself,
Da de tyve År var omme, i hvilke Salomo havde bygget på HERRENs Hus og sit Palads -
2 He took in hand the building up of the towns which Huram had given him, causing the children of Israel to make living-places for themselves there.
også de Byer, Huram afstod til Salomo, befæstede Salomo og lod Israeliterne bosætte sig i dem -
3 And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and overcame it.
drog Salomo til Hamat-Zoba og indtog det.
4 And he put up the buildings of Tadmor in the waste land, and of all the store-towns in Hamath;
Han befæstede også Tadmor i Ørkenen og alle de Forrådsbyer, han byggede i Hamat;
5 And of Beth-horon the higher and the lower, walled towns with walls and doorways and locks;
ligeledes genopbyggedehan Øvre og Nedre-Bet-Horon, så de blev Fæstninger med Mure, Porte og Portslåer,
6 And of Baalath, and all the store-towns which Solomon had, and the towns where he kept his war-carriages and his horse men, and everything which it was his pleasure to put up in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land under his rule.
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.
7 As for all the rest of the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel:
Alt, hvad der var tilbage af Hetiterne, Amoriterne, Perizziterne, Hivviterne og Jebusiterne, og som ikke hørte til Israeliterne,
8 Their men who were still living in the land, and whom the children of Israel had not put an end to, these Solomon put to forced work, as is done to this day;
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.
9 But Solomon did not make use of the children of Israel as servants for his work; they were men of war, his chiefs and his captains, and captains of his war-carriages and his horsemen.
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.
10 Now these were the chief men in authority whom King Solomon had: two hundred and fifty of them, in authority over the people.
Tallet på Kong Salomos Overfogeder var 250; de havde Tilsyn med Folkene.
11 Then Solomon made Pharaoh's daughter come up from the town of David to the house which he had made for her; for he said, I will not have my wife living in the house of David, king of Israel, because those places where the ark of the Lord has come are holy.
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."
12 Then Solomon made burned offerings to the Lord on the altar of the Lord which he had put up in front of the covered way,
Nu ofrede Salomo Brændofre til HERREN på HERRENs Alter, som han Havde bygget foran Forhallen,
13 Offering every day what had been ordered by Moses, on the Sabbaths and at the new moon and at the regular feasts three times a year, that is at the feast of unleavened bread, the feast of weeks, and the feast of tents.
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.
14 And he gave the divisions of the priests their places for their work, as ordered by his father David, and to the Levites he gave their work of praise and waiting on the priests, to do what was needed day by day; and he gave the door-keepers their places in turn at every door; for so David, the man of God, had given orders.
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.
15 All the orders given by the king to the priests and Levites, in connection with any business or stores, were done with care.
Og man fraveg ikke i mindste Måde Kongens Bud vedrørende Præsterne og Leviterne og Skatkamrene.
16 And all the work of Solomon was complete, from the day when he put the base of the Lord's house in position, till Solomon had come to the end of building the Lord's house.
Således fuldendtes hele Salomos Værk, fra den Dag Grundvolden lagdes til HERRENs Hus, til Salomo var færdig med HERRENs Hus.
17 Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth by the sea in the land of Edom.
Ved den Tid drog Salomo til Ezjongeber og Elot ved Edoms Kyst;
18 And Huram sent him, by his servants, ships and experienced seamen, who went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir and came back with four hundred and fifty talents of gold, which they took to King Solomon.
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.
