2 Chronicles 8
1 It had taken twenty years for Solomon to build the Temple of the Lord and his own palace.
Da de tyve År var omme, i hvilke Salomo havde bygget på HERRENs Hus og sit Palads -
2 Solomon rebuilt the towns Hiram had given him, and sent Israelites to live there.
også de Byer, Huram afstod til Salomo, befæstede Salomo og lod Israeliterne bosætte sig i dem -
3 Then Solomon attacked Hamath-zobah and captured it.
drog Salomo til Hamat-Zoba og indtog det.
4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness and also built all the storehouse towns in Hamath.
Han befæstede også Tadmor i Ørkenen og alle de Forrådsbyer, han byggede i Hamat;
5 He rebuilt Upper and Lower Beth-horon, fortified cities with walls and barred gates,
ligeledes genopbyggedehan Øvre og Nedre-Bet-Horon, så de blev Fæstninger med Mure, Porte og Portslåer,
6 and also Baalath. He built all the storehouse towns that belonged to him, and all the towns where he kept his chariots and horses. He built everything he wanted to in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout his entire kingdom.
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 There were some people who remained in the land: the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—people who were not Israelites.
Alt, hvad der var tilbage af Hetiterne, Amoriterne, Perizziterne, Hivviterne og Jebusiterne, og som ikke hørte til Israeliterne,
8 They were the remaining descendants of the peoples that the Israelites had not destroyed. Solomon made them work as forced laborers, as they are 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 any of the Israelites work as slaves. Instead, they were his military men, his officers, and commanders of his chariots and 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 They were also King Solomon's chief officers, 250 men who supervised the people.
Tallet på Kong Salomos Overfogeder var 250; de havde Tilsyn med Folkene.
11 Solomon moved Pharaoh's daughter from the City of David to the palace he had built for her. For he said, “My wife cannot live in the palace of David king of Israel, because wherever the Ark of the Lord has gone are holy places.”
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 presented burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of the Lord he had built in front of the Temple's porch.
Nu ofrede Salomo Brændofre til HERREN på HERRENs Alter, som han Havde bygget foran Forhallen,
13 He followed the requirement for daily offerings as Moses had ordered for Sabbaths, new moons, and the three annual festivals—the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Shelters.
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 Following the instructions of his father David, he assigned the divisions of the priests for their service, and the Levites in their responsibilities to offer praise, and to help the priests in their daily duties. He also assigned gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate as David, the man of God, had instructed.
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 They followed David's instructions exactly regarding the priests, the Levites, and anything to do with the treasuries.
Og man fraveg ikke i mindste Måde Kongens Bud vedrørende Præsterne og Leviterne og Skatkamrene.
16 This is how all Solomon's work was carried out, from the day the foundation was laid for the Lord's Temple until it was finished. So the Lord's Temple was completed.
Således fuldendtes hele Salomos Værk, fra den Dag Grundvolden lagdes til HERRENs Hus, til Salomo var færdig med HERRENs Hus.
17 After this Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast of the land of Edom.
Ved den Tid drog Salomo til Ezjongeber og Elot ved Edoms Kyst;
18 Hiram sent him ships under the command of his own officers, along with experienced sailors. They went with Solomon's men to Ophir where they loaded 450 talents of gold, which they then brought back 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.
