1 Kings 10
1 And the Queene of Sheba hearing ye fame of Salomon (concerning the Name of the Lord) came to proue him with hard questions.
Da Dronningen af Saba hørte Salomos Ry, kom hun for at prøve ham med Gåder.
2 And she came to Ierusalem with a verie great traine, and camels that bare sweete odours, and golde exceeding much, and precious stones: and shee came to Salomon, and communed with him of all that was in her heart.
Hun kom til Jerusalem med et såre stort Følge og med Kameler, der bar Røgelse, Guld i store Mængder og Ædelsten. Og da hun var kommet til Salomo, talte hun til ham om alt, hvad der lå hende på Hjerte.
3 And Salomon declared vnto her all her questions: nothing was hid from the King, which he expounded not vnto her.
Men Salomo svarede på alle hendes Spørgsmål, og intet som helst var skjult for Kongen, han gav hende Svar på alt.
4 Then the Queene of Sheba sawe all Salomons wisedome, and the house that he had built,
Og da Dronningen af Saba så al Salomos Visdom, Huset han havde bygget,
5 And the meate of his table, and the sitting of his seruants, and the order of his ministers, and their apparel, and his drinking vessels, and his burnt offrings, that he offered in the house of the Lord, and she was greatly astonied.
Maden på hans Bord, hans Folks Boliger, han træden og deres Klæder, hans Mundskænke og Brændofrene, han ofrede i HERRENs Hus, var hun ude af sig selv;
6 And shee sayde vnto the King, It was a true worde that I heard in mine owne lande of thy sayings, and of thy wisedome.
og hun sagde til Kongen: "Sandt var, hvad jeg i mit Land hørte sige om dig og din Visdom!
7 Howebeit I beleeued not this report till I came, and had seene it with mine eyes: but lo, ye one halfe was not tolde mee: for thou hast more wisedome and prosperitie, then I haue heard by report.
Jeg troede ikke, hvad der sagdes, før jeg kom og så det med egne Øjne; og se, ikke engang det halve er mig fortalt, thi din Visdom og Herlighed overgår, hvad rygte sagde.
8 Happy are the men, happie are these thy seruants, which stande euer before thee, and heare thy wisedome.
Lykkelige dine Hustruer, lykkelige dine Folk, som altid er om dig og hører din Visdom!
9 Blessed be the Lord thy God, which loued thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel, because the Lord loued Israel for euer and made thee King to doe equitie and righteousnesse.
Lovet være HERREN din Gud, som fandt behag i dig og satte dig på Israels Trone! Fordi HERREN elsker Israel evindelig, satte han dig til Konge, til at øve ret og Retfærdighed."
10 And she gaue the King sixe score talents of golde, and of sweete odours exceeding much, and precious stones. There came no more such aboundance of sweete odours, as the Queene of Sheba gaue to King Salomon.
Derpå gav hun Kongen 120 Guldtalenter, Røgelse i store Mængder og Ædelsten; og aldrig er der siden kommet så megen Røgelse til Landet som den, Dronningen af Saba gav Kong Salomo.
11 The nauie also of Hiram (that caried gold from Ophir) brought likewise great plentie of Almuggim trees from Ophir and precious stones.
Desuden bragte Hirams Skibe, som hentede Guld i Ofir, Almug gumtræ i store Mængder og Ædel sten fra Ofir,
12 And the King made of ye Almuggim trees pillars for the house of the Lord, and for ye Kings palace, and made harpes and psalteries for singers. There came no more such Almuggim trees, nor were any more seene vnto this day.
og af Almuggimtræet lod Kongen lave Rækværk til HERRENs Hus og Kongens Palads, desuden Citre og Harper til Sangerne. Så meget Almuggimtræ er hidtil ikke set eller kommet til Landet.
13 And King Salomon gaue vnto the Queene of Sheba, whatsoeuer she would aske, besides that, which Salomon gaue her of his kingly liberalitie: so she returned and went to her owne countrey, both shee, and her seruantes.
Og Kong Salomo gav Dronningen af Saba alt, hvad hun ønskede og bad om, foruden hvad han af sig selv kongeligen skænkede hende. Derpå begav hun sig med sit Følge hjem til sit Land.
14 Also the weight of golde, that came to Salomon in one yeere, was sixe hundreth three score and six talents of gold,
Vægten af det Guld, som i et År indførtes af Salomo, udgjorde 666 Guldtalenter,
15 Besides that he had of marchant men and of the marchandises of them that solde spices, and of all the Kinges of Arabia, and of the princes of the countrey.
de ikke medregnet, hvad der indkom i Afgift fra de undertvungne Folk og ved Købmændenes Handel og fra alle Arabiens Konger og Landets Statholdere.
16 And King Salomon made two hundreth targets of beaten golde, sixe hundreth shekels of gold went to a target:
Kong Salomo lod hamre 200 Guldskjolde, hvert på 600 Sekel Guld,
17 And three hundreth shieldes of beaten golde, three pound of gold went to one shielde: and the King put them in the house of the wood of Lebanon.
og 300 mindre Guldskjolde, hvert på tre Miner Guld; dem lod Kongen henlægge i Libanonskovhuset.
18 Then the King made a great throne of yuorie, and couered it with the best golde.
Fremdeles lod Kongen lave en stor Elfenbenstrone, overtrukket med lutret Guld.
19 And the throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind, and there were stayes on either side on the place of the throne, and two lions standing by the stayes.
Tronen havde seks Trin, og på dens Ryg var der Tyrehoveder; på begge Sider af Sædet var der Arme, og ved Armene stod der to Løver;
20 And there stoode twelue lions on the sixe steps on either side: there was not the like made in any kingdome.
tillige stod der tolv Løver påde seks Trin, seks på hver Side. Der er ikke lavet Mage til Trone i noget andet Rige.
21 And all King Salomons drinking vessels were of golde, and all the vessels of the house of the woode of Lebanon were of pure golde, none were of siluer: for it was nothing esteemed in the dayes of Salomon.
Alle Kong Salomos Drikkekar var af Guld og alle Redskaber i Libanonskovhuset af fint Guld; Sølv regnedes ikke for noget i Kong Salomos Dage.
22 For the King had on the sea the nauie of Tharshish with the nauie of Hiram: once in three yere came the nauie of Tharshish, and brought golde and siluer, yuorie, and apes and peacockes.
Kongen havde nemlig Tarsisskibe i Søen sammen med Hirams Skibe; og en Gang hvert tredje År kom Tarsisskibene, ladet med Guld, Sølv, Elfenben, Aber og Påfugle.
23 So King Salomon exceeded all the kings of the earth both in riches and in wisedome.
Kong Salomo overgik alle Jordens Konger i Rigdom og Visdom.
24 And al the world sought to see Salomon, to heare his wisedome, which God had put in his heart,
Fra alle Jordens Egne søgte man hen til Salomo for at høre den Visdom, Gud havde lagt i hans Hjerte;
25 And they brought euery man his present, vessels of siluer, and vessels of golde, and raiment, and armour, and sweete odours, horses and mules, from yeere to yeere.
og alle bragte de Gaver med: Sølv og Guldsager, Klæder, Våben, Røgelse, Heste og Muldyr; således gik det År efter År.
26 Then Salomon gathered together charrets and horsemen: and he had a thousand and foure hundreth charets, and twelue thousande horsemen, whome hee placed in the charet cities, and with the King at Ierusalem.
Salomo anskaffede sig Stridsvogne og Ryttere, og han havde 1.400 Vogne og 12.000 Ryttere; dem lagde han dels i Vognbyerne, dels hos sig i Jerusalem.
27 And the King gaue siluer in Ierusalem as stones, and gaue cedars as the wilde figtrees that growe abundantly in the plaine.
Kongen bragte det dertil, at Sølv i Jerusalem var lige så almindeligt som Sten, og Cedertræ lige så almindeligt som Morbærfigentræ i Lavlandet. -
28 Also Salomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and fine linen: the Kings marchants receiued the linen for a price.
Hestene, Salomo indførte, kom fra Mizrajim og Kove; Kongens Handelsfolk købte dem i Kove.
29 There came vp and went out of Egypt some charet, worth sixe hundreth shekels of siluer: that is, one horse, an hundreth and fiftie and thus they brought horses to all the Kings of the Hittites and to the Kings of Aram by their meanes.
En Vogn udførtes fra Mizrajim for 600 Sekel Sølv, en Hest for 150 Ligeledes udførtes de ved Handelsfolkene fil alle Hetiternes og Arams Konger.
