2 Chronicles 9
1 When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great train, and camels that bore spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him of all that was in her heart.
Da Dronningen af Saba hørte Salomos Ry, kom hun, for at prøve ham med Gåder, til Jerusalem med et såre 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 lå hende på Hjerte.
2 Solomon told her all her questions; and there was not anything hidden from Solomon which he did not tell her.
Men Salomo svarede på alle hendes Spørgsmål, og intet som helst var skjult for Salomo, han gav hende Svar på alt.
3 When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
Og da Dronningen at Saba så Salomos Visdom, Huset, han havde bygget,
4 and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their clothing, his cup bearers also, and their clothing, and his burnt offerings which he presented at the house of YHWH; it left her breathless.
Maden på 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 She said to the king, "It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts, and of your wisdom.
og hun sagde til Kongen: "Sandt var, hvad jeg i mit Land hørte sige om dig og din Visdom!
6 However I did not believe their words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it; and look, the half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me: you exceed the fame that I heard.
Jeg troede ikke, hvad der sagdes, før jeg kom og så det med egne Øjne; og se, ikke engang det halve af din store Visdom er mig fortalt, thi du overgår, hvad Rygtet sagde mig om dig!
7 Happy are your wives, and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you, and hear your wisdom.
Lykkelige dine Mænd, lykkelige dine Folk, som altid er om dig og hører din Visdom!
8 Blessed be YHWH your God, who delighted in you, to set you on his throne, to be king for YHWH your God: because your God loved Israel, to establish them forever, therefore he made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness."
Lovet være HERREN din Gud, som fandt Behag i dig og satte dig på 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 She gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
Derpå gav hun Kongen 120 Guldtalenter, Røgelse i store Mængder og Ædelsten; og aldrig har der siden været så megen Røgelse i Landet som den, Dronningen af Saba gav Kong Salomo.
10 The servants also of Hiram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.
Desuden bragte Hurams og Salomos Folk, som hentede Guld i Ofir, Algummimtræ og Ædelsten;
11 The king made of the algum trees steps for the house of YHWH, and for the king's house, and harps and stringed instruments for the singers: and there were none like these seen 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 King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides that which she had brought to the king. So she turned, and went to her own 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. Derpå vendte hun med sit Følge tilbage til sit Land.
13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
Vægten af det Guld, som i eet År indførtes af Salomo, udgjorde 666 Guldtalenter,
14 besides that which the traders and merchants brought: and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought 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 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to each shield.
Kong Salomo lod hamre 200 Guldskjolde, hvert på 600 Sekel Guld,
16 He made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
og 300 mindre Guldskjolde, hvert på 300 Sekel Guld; dem lod Kongen henlægge i Libanonskovhuset.
17 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
Fremdeles lod Kongen lave en stor, Elfenbenstrone, overtrukket mned lutret Guld.
18 And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays.
Tronen havde seks Trin, og på dens Ryg var der et Latn af Guld; på begge Sider af Sædet var der Arme, og ved Armene stod der to Løver;
19 Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps: there was nothing like it made in any kingdom.
tillige stod der tolv Løver på de seks Trin, seks på hver Side. Der er ikke lavet Mage til Trone i noget andet Rige.
20 All king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: silver was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
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 the king had ships that went to Tarshish with the servants of Hiram; once every three years came the ships of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
Kongen havde nemlig Skibe, det sejlede på Tarsis med Hurams Folk; og een Gang hverttredje År kom Tarsisskibene, ladet med Guld, Sølv, Elfenben, Aber og Påfugle.
22 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
Kong Salomo overgik alle Jordens Konger i Rigdom og Visdom.
23 All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
Alle Jordens Konger søgte hen til Salomo for at høre den Visdom, Gud havde lagt i hans Hjerte;
24 They brought every man his tribute, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing, armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
og alle bragte de Gaver med: Sølv- og Guldsager, Klæder, Våben, Røgelse, Heste og Muldyr; således gik det År efter År.
25 Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he stationed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
Salomo havde 4000 Spand Heste og Vogne og 12000 Ryttere; dem lagde han dels i Vognbyerne, dels hos sig i Jerusalem.
26 He ruled 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 The king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.
Kongen bragte det dertil, at Sølv i Jerusalem var lige så almindeligt som Sten, og Cedertræ lige så almindeligt som Morbærfigentræ i Lavlandet.
28 They brought horses for Solomon out of Egypt, and out of all lands.
Der indførtes Heste til Salomo fra Mizrajim og fra alle Lande.
29 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, aren't they written in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the 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 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
Salomo herskede i Jerusalem over hele Israel i fyrretyve År.
31 Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the City of David his father. And Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
Derpå 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.
