1 Kings 5
1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David.
Og Hiram, Kongen af Tyrus, sendte sine Tjenere til Salomo, da han havde hørt, at de havde salvet ham til Konge i hans Faders Sted; thi Hiram havde elsket David alle Dage.
2 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
Derfor sendte Salomo til Hiram og lod sige:
3 You know how that David my father could not build an house unto the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.
Du ved, at min Fader David ikke kunde bygge Herrens, sin Guds, Navn et Hus for Krigens Skyld, med hvilken de havde omspændt ham, indtil Herren gav dem under hans Fødders Saaler.
4 But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrence.
Men nu har Herren min Gud skaffet mig Rolighed trindt omkring, her er ingen Modstander og intet ondt hændet.
5 And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke unto David my father, saying, Your son, whom I will set upon your throne in your room, he shall build an house unto my name.
Og se, jeg tænker at bygge Herrens, min Guds, Navn et Hus, som Herren talede til min Fader David og sagde: Din Søn, som jeg skal sætte i dit Sted paa din Trone, han skal bygge mit Navn Huset.
6 Now therefore command you that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with your servants: and unto you will I give hire for your servants according to all that you shall appoint: for you know that there is not among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the Sidonians.
Saa befal nu, at man hugger mig Cedertræ fra Libanon, og mine Tjenere skulle være med dine Tjenere, og jeg vil give dig Løn til dine Tjenere efter alt det, som du siger; thi du ved, at her er ingen hos os, som forstaar at hugge Træer, som Zidonierne.
7 And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be the LORD this day, which has given unto David a wise son over this great people.
Og det skete, der Hiram hørte Salomos Ord, da blev han saare glad, og han sagde: Lovet være Herren i Dag, som har givet David en viis Søn over dette talrige Folk!
8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which you sent to me for: and I will do all your desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.
Og Hiram sendte hen til Salomo og lod sige: Jeg har hørt det, som du sendte til mig om; jeg vil gøre al din Villie med Cedertræer og med Fyrretræer.
9 My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea: and I will convey them by sea in rafts unto the place that you shall appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and you shall receive them: and you shall accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.
Mine Tjenere skulle føre dem ned fra Libanon til Havet, og jeg vil lade dem lægge i Flaader paa Havet og bringe dem til det Sted, som du sender mig Bud om, og jeg vil lade dem skille ad der, og du skal lade dem hente; men du skal gøre min Villie, at give mit Hus Kost.
10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his desire.
Saa gav Hiram Salomo Cedertræer og Fyrretræer, alt efter hans Villie.
11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.
Og Salomo gav Hiram tyve Tusinde Kor Hvede til Spise for hans Hus og tyve Kor stødt Olivenolie; saa gav Salomo Hiram fra Aar til Aar.
12 And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.
Og Herren gav Salomo Visdom, som han havde tilsagt ham; og der var Fred imellem Hiram og imellem Salomo, og de gjorde begge en Pagt.
13 And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
Og Kong Salomo udtog Pligtarbejdere af hele Israel, og Pligtarbejderne vare tredive Tusinde Mænd.
14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was over the levy.
Og han sendte dem til Libanon, ti Tusinde hver Maaned, saa de skiftede; en Maaned vare de paa Libanon, og to Maaneder var hver i sit Hus, og Adoniram var over Pligtarbejderne.
15 And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains;
Og Salomo havde halvfjerdsindstyve Tusinde Lastdragere og firsindstyve Tusinde Tømrere paa Bjerget,
16 Beside the chief of Solomon's officers which were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
foruden Salomos øverste Befalingsmænd, som vare over Arbejdet, nemlig tre Tusinde og tre Hundrede, som regerede over Folket, som gjorde Arbejdet.
17 And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
Og Kongen bød det, og de bragte store Stene, kostbare Stene, hugne Stene til at lægge Grundvolden til Huset.
18 And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did hew them, and the Gibalites also: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.
Og Salomos Bygningsmænd og Hirams Bygningsmænd og Gibliterne tilhuggede og beredte Træerne og Stenene til at bygge Huset.
