2 Chronicles 9
1 And the queen of Sheba has heard of the fame of Solomon, and comes to Jerusalem to try Solomon with acute sayings, with a very great company, and camels carrying spices and gold in abundance, and precious stone; and she comes to Solomon, and speaks with him all that has been with her heart,
Da Dronningen af Saba hørte Salomos Ry, kom hun, for at prøve ham med Gaader, til Jerusalem med et saare stort Følge og med Kameler, der har Røgelse, Guld i Mængde og Ædelsten. Og da hun var kommet til Salomo, talte hun til ham om alt, hvad der laa hende paa Hjerte.
2 and Solomon declares all her matters to her, and there has not been hid a thing from Solomon that he has not declared to her.
Men Salomo svarede paa alle hendes Spørgsmaal, og intet som helst var skjult for Salomo, han gav hende Svar paa alt.
3 And the queen of Sheba sees the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he has built,
Og da Dronningen at Saba saa Salomos Visdom, Huset, han havde bygget,
4 and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their clothing, and his stewards, and their clothing, and his burnt-offering that he offered up in the house of YHWH, and there has not been anymore spirit in her.
Maden paa hans Bord, hans Folks Boliger, hans Tjeneres Optræden og deres Klæder, hans Mundskænke og deres Klæder og Brændofrene, han ofrede i HERRENS Hus, var hun ude af sig selv;
5 And she says to the king, “The word [is] true that I heard in my land concerning your matters and concerning your wisdom,
og hun sagde til Kongen: »Sandt var, hvad jeg i mit Land hørte sige om dig og din Visdom!
6 and I have given no credence to their words until I have come and my eyes see, and behold, there has not been declared to me the half of the abundance of your wisdom—you have added to the report that I heard.
Jeg troede ikke, hvad der sagdes, før jeg kom og saa det med egne Øjne; og se, ikke engang det halve af din store Visdom er mig fortalt, thi du overgaar, hvad Rygtet sagde mig om dig!
7 O the blessedness of your men, and the blessedness of your servants—these—who are standing before you continually, and hearing your wisdom.
Lykkelige dine Mænd, lykkelige dine Folk, som altid er om dig og hører din Visdom!
8 Let your God YHWH be blessed who has delighted in you to put you on His throne for king for your God YHWH; in the love of your God to Israel, to establish it for all time, He has put you over them for king, to do judgment and righteousness.”
Lovet være HERREN din Gud, som fandt Behag i dig og satte dig paa sin Trone som Konge for HERREN din Gud. Fordi din Gud elsker Israel og for at opretholde det evindeligt, satte han dig til Konge over dem, til at øve Ret og Retfærdighed!«
9 And she gives to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stone; and there has not been any such spice as the queen of Sheba has given to King Solomon.
Derpaa gav hun Kongen 120 Guldtalenter, Røgelse i store Mængder og Ædelsten; og aldrig har der siden været saa megen Røgelse i Landet som den, Dronningen af Saba gav Kong Salomo.
10 And also, servants of Huram, and servants of Solomon, who brought in gold from Ophir, have brought in algum-trees and precious stone.
Desuden bragte Hurams og Salomos Folk, som hentede Guld i Ofir, Algummimtræ og Ædelsten;
11 And the king makes the algum-trees [into] staircases for the house of YHWH, and for the house of the king, and harps and psalteries for singers; and there have been none seen like these before in the land of Judah.
og af Algummimtræet lod Kongen lave Rækværk til HERRENS Hus og Kongens Palads, desuden Citre og Harper til Sangerne; og Mage dertil var ikke tidligere set i Judas Land.
12 And King Solomon has given to the queen of Sheba all her desire that she asked, apart from that which she had brought to the king, and she turns and goes to her land, she and her servants.
Og Kong Salomo gav Dronningen af Saba alt, hvad hun ønskede og bad om, langt ud over hvad hun bragte til Kongen. Derpaa vendte hun med sit Følge tilbage til sit Land.
13 And the weight of the gold that is coming to Solomon in one year is six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
Vægten af det Guld, som i eet Aar indførtes af Salomo, udgjorde 666 Guldtalenter,
14 apart from [what] the tourists and the merchants are bringing in; and all the kings of Arabia, and the governors of the land, are bringing in gold and silver to Solomon.
deri ikke medregnet hvad der indkom i Afgift fra de undertvungne Folk og ved Købmændenes Handel og fra alle Arabiens Konger og Landets Statholdere, som bragte Salomo Guld og Sølv.
15 And King Solomon makes two hundred bucklers of alloyed gold—he causes six hundred [shekels] of alloyed gold to go up on the one buckler;
Kong Salomo lod hamre 200 Guldskjolde, hvert paa 600 Sekel Guld,
16 and three hundred shields of alloyed gold—he causes three hundred [shekels] of gold to go up on the one shield, and the king puts them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
og 300 mindre Guldskjolde, hvert paa 300 Sekel Guld; dem lod Kongen henlægge i Libanonskovhuset.
17 And the king makes a great throne of ivory, and overlays it with pure gold;
Fremdeles lod Kongen lave en stor, Elfenbenstrone, overtrukket med lutret Guld.
18 and six steps [are] to the throne, and a footstool of gold, [and] they are fastened to the throne; and [places for] hands [are] on this [side] and on that [side] on the place of the sitting, and two lions are standing near the hands,
Tronen havde seks Trin, og paa dens Ryg var der et Lam af Guld; paa begge Sider af Sædet var der Arme, og ved Armene stod der to Løver;
19 and twelve lions are standing there on the six steps on this [side] and on that [side]: it has not been made so for any kingdom.
tillige stod der tolv Løver paa de seks Trin, seks paa hver Side. Der er ikke lavet Mage til Trone i noget andet Rige.
20 And all the drinking vessels of King Solomon [are] of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon [are] of refined gold—silver is not reckoned in the days of Solomon for anything;
Alle Kong Salomos Drikkekar var af Guld og alle Redskaber i Libanonskovhuset af fint Guld; Sølv regnedes ikke for noget i Kong Salomos Dage.
21 for ships of the king are going to Tarshish with servants of Huram: once in three years the ships of Tarshish come carrying gold, and silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks [[or monkeys]].
Kongen havde nemlig Skibe, det sejlede paa Tarsis med Hurams Folk; og een Gang hvert tredje Aar kom Tarsisskibene, ladet med Guld, Sølv, Elfenben, Aber og Paafugle.
22 And King Solomon becomes greater than any of the kings of the earth for riches and wisdom;
Kong Salomo overgik alle Jordens Konger i Rigdom og Visdom.
23 and all the kings of the earth are seeking the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom that God has put in his heart,
Alle Jordens Konger søgte hen til Salomo for at høre den Visdom, Gud havde lagt i hans Hjerte;
24 and they are each bringing in his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
og alle bragte de Gaver med: Sølv— og Guldsager, Klæder, Vaaben, Røgelse, Heste og Muldyr; saaledes gik det Aar efter Aar.
25 And there are four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen for Solomon, and he placed them in cities of the chariot, and with the king in Jerusalem.
Salomo havde 4000 Spand Heste og Vogne og 12 000 Ryttere; dem lagde han dels i Vognbyerne, dels hos sig i Jerusalem.
26 And he is ruling over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
Han herskede over alle Konger fra Floden til Filisternes Land og Ægyptens Grænse.
27 And the king makes the silver in Jerusalem as stones, and he has made the cedars as sycamores that [are] in the low country, for abundance,
Kongen bragte det dertil, at Sølv i Jerusalem var lige saa almindeligt som Sten, og Cedertræ lige saa almindeligt som Morbærfigentræ i Lavlandet.
28 and they are bringing out horses from Egypt to Solomon, and from all the lands.
Der indførtes Heste til Salomo fra Mizrajim og fra alle Lande.
29 And the rest of the matters of Solomon, the first and the last, are they not written beside the matters of Nathan the prophet, and beside the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and with the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam son of Nebat?
Salomos øvrige Historie fra først til sidst findes optegnet i Profeten Natans Krønike, Siloniten Ahijas Profeti og Seeren Jedos Syn om Jeroboam, Nebats Søn.
30 And Solomon reigns in Jerusalem over all Israel [for] forty years,
Salomo herskede i Jerusalem over hele Israel i fyrretyve Aar.
31 and Solomon lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of his father David, and his son Rehoboam reigns in his stead.
Derpaa lagde Salomo sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i sin Fader Davids By. Og hans Søn Rehabeam blev Konge i hans Sted.
