2 Chronicles 9
1 Now the queen of Sheba, hearing great things of Solomon, came to Jerusalem to put his wisdom to the test with hard questions; and with her came a very great train, and camels weighted down with spices, and great stores of gold and jewels: and when she came to Solomon she had talk with him of everything in her mind.
Og Dronningen af Seba hørte Salomos Rygte og kom for at prøve Salomo med mørke Taler til Jerusalem med en saare stor Skare af Kameler, som bare vellugtende Urter og Guld i Mangfoldighed og dyrebare Stene; og hun kom til Salomo og talte med ham alt det, som var i hendes Hjerte.
2 And Solomon gave her answers to all her questions; there was no secret which he did not make clear to her.
Og Salomo udtydede hende alle hendes Ord, og der var ikke et Ord skjult for Salomo, som han ej udtydede hende.
3 And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had made,
Da Dronningen af Seba saa Salomos Visdom og det Hus, som han havde bygget,
4 And the food at his table, and all his servants seated there, and those who were waiting on him in their places, and their robes, and his wine-servants and their robes, and the burned offerings which he made in the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.
og Maden til hans Bord og hans Tjeneres Bolig, og hvordan de stode, som opvartede ham, og deres Klæder og hans Mundskænke og deres Klæder og hans Opgang, ad hvilken han gik op til Herrens Hus: Da var hun ude af sig selv.
5 And she said to the king, The account which was given to me in my country of your acts and your wisdom was true.
Og hun sagde til Kongen: Det Ord er sandt, som jeg har hørt i mit Land om dine Sager og om din Visdom;
6 But I had no faith in what was said about you, till I came and saw for myself; and truly, word was not given me of half your great wisdom; you are much greater than they said.
og jeg vilde ikke tro deres Ord, førend jeg kom, og mine Øjne have set det, og se, ikke Halvdelen er mig forkyndt af din megen Visdom; du har mere end efter Rygtet, som jeg har hørt.
7 Happy are your wives and happy these your servants whose place is ever before you, hearing your words of wisdom.
Salige ere dine Mænd, og salige ere disse dine Tjenere, som stedse staa for dit Ansigt, og som høre din Visdom!
8 Praise be to the Lord your God whose pleasure it was to put you on the seat of his kingdom to be king for the Lord your God: because, in his love for Israel, it was the purpose of your God to make them strong for ever, he made you king over them, to be their judge in righteousness.
Lovet være Herren din Gud, som havde Lyst til dig, at sætte dig paa sin Trone til Konge for Herren, din Gud! Fordi din Gud elsker Israel og vil befæste det evindelig, derfor satte han dig til Konge over dem, til at gøre Ret og Retfærdighed.
9 And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and a great store of spices and jewels: never had such spices been seen as the queen of Sheba gave to Solomon.
Og hun gav Kongen hundrede og tyve Centner Guld og saare mange vellugtende Urter og dyrebare Stene; der var ikke saadanne Urter som disse, hvilke Dronningen af Seba gav Kong Salomo.
10 And the servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon, in addition to gold from Ophir, came back with sandal-wood and jewels.
Dertil med havde Hurams Tjenere og Salomos Tjenere bragt Guld fra Ofir og bragt Hebentræ og dyrebare Stene.
11 And with the sandal-wood the king made steps for the house of the Lord and for the king's house, and instruments of music for the makers of melody; never before had such been seen in the land of Judah.
Og af Hebentræet lod Kongen gøre Gange til Herrens Hus og til Kongens Hus, samt Harper og Psaltre til Sangerne; og der blev ikke tilforn set saadant som dette i Judas Land.
12 And King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she made request for, in addition to what she had taken to the king. So she went back to her country with her servants.
Og Kong Salomo gav Dronningen af Seba alt det, hun havde Lyst til, som hun begærede, foruden Gaver for det, som hun havde medbragt til Kongen; og hun vendte om og drog til sit Land, hun og hendes Tjenere.
13 Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents;
Og Vægten paa det Guld, som kom til Salomo paa eet Aar, var seks Hundrede og seks og tresindstyve Centner Guld
14 And in addition to what he got from traders of different sorts, all the kings of Arabia and the rulers of the country gave gold and silver to Solomon.
foruden det, som indkom fra Toldbetjentene, og det, som Købmændene bragte; og alle Kongerne af Arabia og Fyrsterne i Landet bragte Guld og Sølv til Salomo.
15 And King Solomon made two hundred body-covers of hammered gold, every one having six hundred shekels of gold in it.
Og Kong Salomo lod gøre to Hundrede Skjolde af drevet Guld; seks Hundrede Sekel drevet Guld lod han gaa paa hvert Skjold;
16 And he made three hundred smaller body-covers of hammered gold, using three hundred shekels of gold for every cover, and the king put them in the house of the Woods of Lebanon.
og tre Hundrede smaa Skjolde af drevet Guld, tre Hundrede Sekel Guld lod han gaa paa hvert Skjold; og Kongen lagde dem i Libanons Skovhus.
17 Then the king made a great ivory seat, plated with the best gold.
Og Kongen lod gøre en stor Trone af Elfenben og beslog den med purt Guld.
18 There were six steps up to it, and a foot-rest of gold fixed to it, and arms on the two sides of the seat, with two lions at the side of the arms.
Og Tronen havde seks Trin og en Skammel, som med Guld vare fastgjorte til Tronen, og der var Arme paa begge Sider omkring Sædets Sted, og to Løver stode ved Armene.
19 And twelve lions were placed on one side and on the other side on the six steps: there was nothing like it in any kingdom.
Og der stod tolv Løver paa de seks Trin paa begge Sider; saadant er ikke gjort i noget Rige.
20 All King Solomon's drinking-vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the Woods of Lebanon were of the best gold: no one gave a thought to silver in the days of Solomon.
Og alle Kong Salomos Drikkekar vare af Guld, og alle Karrene i Libanons Skovhus vare af fint Guld; Sølv agtedes ikke for noget i Salomos Dage.
21 For the king had Tarshish-ships sailing with the servants of Huram: once every three years the Tarshish-ships came back with gold and silver, ivory and monkeys and peacocks.
Thi Kongens Skibe fore til Tharsis med Hurams Tjenere; een Gang i tre Aar kom de Tharsis Skibe, som bragte Guld og Sølv, Elfenben, Aber og Paafugle.
22 And King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and in wisdom.
Og Kong Salomo blev større end alle Konger paa Jorden ved Rigdom og Visdom.
23 And all the kings of the earth came to see Solomon and to give ear to his wisdom, which God had put into his heart.
Og alle Jordens Konger søgte Salomos Ansigt for at høre hans Visdom, som Gud havde givet i hans Hjerte.
24 And everyone took with him an offering, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and robes, and coats of metal, and spices, and horses and beasts for transport, regularly year by year.
Og de førte hver sin Skænk: Sølvkar og Guldkar og Klæder, Rustninger og vellugtende Urter, Heste og Muler, hvilket skete aarligt.
25 Solomon had four thousand buildings for his horses and his war-carriages, and twelve thousand horsemen whom he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king in Jerusalem.
Og Salomo havde fire Tusinde Stalde til Heste og Vogne og tolv Tusinde Ryttere, og han lod dem blive i Vognstæderne og hos Kongen i Jerusalem.
26 And he was ruler over all the kings from the River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the limit of Egypt.
Og han herskede over alle Kongerne, fra Floden og indtil Filisternes Land og indtil Ægyptens Landemærke.
27 The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem and cedars like the sycamore-trees of the lowlands in number.
Og Kongen gjorde Sølvet i Jerusalem som Stenene og gjorde Cedertræerne som Morbærtræerne, der ere i Lavlandet i Mangfoldighed.
28 They got horses for Solomon from Egypt and from every land.
Og man udførte Heste til Salomo fra Ægypten og fra alle Landene.
29 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not recorded in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the words of Ahijah the prophet of Shiloh, and in the visions of Iddo the seer about Jeroboam, the son of Nebat?
Men det øvrige af Salomos Handeler, de første og de sidste, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Profeten Nathans Krønike og i Siloniten Ahias Profeti og i Seeren Jeddis Syn imod Jeroboam, Nebats Søn?
30 Solomon was king over Israel in Jerusalem for forty years.
Og Salomo regerede i Jerusalem over al Israel fyrretyve Aar.
31 And Solomon went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father; and Rehoboam his son became king in his place.
Og Salomo laa med sine Fædre, og de begrove ham i Davids, hans Faders, Stad; og Roboam, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.
