2 Chronicles 8
1 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the house of the Lord, and his own house,
Och efter tjugu år, i hvilkom Salomo Herrans hus, och sitt hus byggde;
2 That [as regardeth] the cities which Churam had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
Byggde han ock de städer, som Hyram gaf Salomo, och lät Israels barn bo deruti.
3 And Solomon went to Chamath-zobah, and prevailed against it.
Och Salomo drog till HamathZoba, och gjorde det fast;
4 And he built Thadmor in the wilderness, and all the treasure-cities, which he built in Chamath.
Och byggde Thadmor i öknene, och alla kornstäder, som han byggde i Hamath.
5 And he built the upper Beth-choron, and the lower Beth-choron, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars;
Han byggde ock öfra och nedra BethHoron, hvilka faste städer voro med murar, portar och bommar;
6 And Ba'alath, and all the treasure-cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for chariots, and the cities for horsemen, and all the [other] desire of Solomon which he desired to build in Jerusalem, and in the Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion.
Desslikes Baalath, och alla kornstäder som Salomo hade, och alla vagnsstäder, och resenärars städer, och allt det Salomo lyste att bygga, både i Jerusalem och på Libanon, och i allo hans väldes lande.
7 All the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Emorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel,
Allt det folk, som qvart blifvet var, af de Hetheer, Amoreer, Phereseer, Heveer och Jebuseer, som icke voro af Israels barn;
8 Out of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel had not destroyed—these did Solomon levy as tributary [laborers] until this day.
Och deras barn, som de efter sig left hade i landena, hvilka Israels barn icke förlagt hade, gjorde Salomo skattpligtiga, allt intill denna dag.
9 Yet of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen for his work; but they were men of war, and chiefs of his captains; and officers of his chariots and of his horsemen.
Men af Israels barn gjorde Salomo inga trälar, till sitt arbete; utan de voro krigsmän, och öfver hans riddare, och öfver hans vagnar och resenärar.
10 And these were the chiefs of the superintendents whom king Solomon had, [even] two hundred and fifty, who ruled over the people.
Och de öfverste Konung Salomos befallningsmän voro tuhundrad och femtio, som öfver folket rådde.
11 And the daughter of Pharaoh did Solomon bring up out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her; for he said, No wife of mine shall dwell in a house of David the king of Israel, because they are holy, because there came [once] unto them the ark of the Lord.
Och Pharaos dotter lät Salomo hemta af Davids stad, uti det hus, som han för henne byggt hade; ty han sade: Min hustru skall icke bo uti Davids Israels Konungs huse; förty det är helgadt, efter Herrans ark der inkommen är.
12 Then did Solomon offer burnt-offerings unto the Lord on the altar of the Lord, which he had built before the porch,
Sedan offrade Salomo Herranom bränneoffer på Herrans altare, som han byggt hade för förhuset;
13 Even according to what was the due of [every] day on its day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new-moons, and on the stated festivals, three times in the year, on the feast of unleavened bread, and on the feast of weeks, and on the feast of tabernacles.
Till att offra hvart på sin dag, efter Mose bud; på Sabbather, nymånader, och på bestämda tider, tre resor om året; nämliga på osyrade bröds högtidene, på veckohögtidene, och på löfhyddohögtidene.
14 And he stationed, according to the prescription of David his father, the divisions of the priests at their service, and the Levites at their stations, to praise and minister next to the priests, in the requirement of every day on its day, and the gate-keepers in their divisions at every gate; for so was the charge of David the man of God.
Och han satte Presterna i deras skifte till deras ämbete, såsom David hans fader det lagat hade; och Leviterna på deras vakt till att lofva och tjena för Presterna, hvar sin dag; och de dörravaktare i deras skifte, hvar vid sina dörr; ty så hade David den Guds mannen befallt.
15 And they departed not from the charge of the king concerning the priests and Levites respecting every matter, and respecting the treasuries.
Och man vek icke ifrå Konungens bud, om Presterna och Leviterna, i någrahanda ärende och håfvor.
16 And [so] was all the work of Solomon successful from the day of founding the house of the Lord, even until it was finished. [So] was perfected the house of the Lord.
Alltså vardt redo hvad Salomo för händer haft hade, ifrå den dag, då Herrans hus grundadt vardt, intilldess han fullkomnade det; så att Herrans hus allt redo vardt.
17 Then went Solomon to 'Ezyon-geber, and to Eloth, at the sea-shore in the land of Edom.
Så drog Salomo till EzionGeber, och till Eloth, vid hafsstrandena i Edoms land.
18 And Churam sent him by means of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and they fetched away thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought the same to king Solomon.
Och Hyram sände honom skepp med sina tjenare, som sjöfarne voro; och de foro med Salomos tjenare till Ophir, och hemtade dädan fyrahundrad och femtio centener guld, och förde till Konung Salomo.
