2 Chronicles 7
1 Now, when Solomon had made an end of praying, Fire, came down out of the heavens, and consumed the ascending-offering and the sacrifices, —and, the glory of Yahweh, filled the house;
Og der Salomo havde fuldendt at bede, da faldt Ild ned fra Himmelen og fortærede Brændofferet og Slagtofrene, og Herrens Herlighed fyldte Huset.
2 so that the priests could not enter into the house of Yahweh, —because the glory of Yahweh filled the house of Yahweh;
Og Præsterne kunde ikke gaa ind i Herrens Hus; thi Herrens Herlighed fyldte Herrens Hus.
3 and, all the sons of Israel, seeing the descending of the fire and the glory of Yahweh upon the house, then knelt they down with their faces toward the ground, upon the pavement, and bowed themselves in prostration, and gave thanks unto Yahweh, For he is good, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
Der alle Israels Børn saa Ilden og Herrens Herlighed nedfalde over Huset, da bøjede de sig ned med Ansigtet til Jorden imod Gulvet og tilbade og takkede Herren, at han er god, at hans Miskundhed er evindelig.
4 And, the king and all the people, were offering sacrifice before Yahweh.
Og Kongen og alt Folket ofrede Slagtoffer for Herrens Ansigt.
5 And King Solomon offered a sacrifice—of oxen, twenty-two thousand, and of sheep, a hundred and twenty thousand, —and so the king and all the people, dedicated the house of God;
Og Kong Salomo ofrede som Slagtoffer to og tyve Tusinde Okser og hundrede og tyve Tusinde Faar; og Kongen og alt Folket indviede Guds Hus.
6 while, the priests, over their charges, were standing, the Levites also, with the instruments for the songs of Yahweh, which David the king had made, for giving thanks unto Yahweh, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness, when David offered praise by their means, —and, the priests, kept on blowing trumpets over against them, while, all Israel, were standing.
Men Præsterne stode i deres Tjeneste og Leviterne med Herrens Sanginstrumenter, som Kong David havde ladet gøre til at takke Herren med, at hans Miskundhed er evindelig, der David ved dem lovede Gud; og Præsterne blæste i Basunerne tværs over for dem, og det hele Israel stod.
7 And Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Yahweh, for he offered there the ascending-sacrifices, and the fat portions of the peace-offerings, —because, the altar of bronze which Solomon had made, was not able to receive the ascending-sacrifice and the meal-offering and the fat portions.
Og Salomo helligede den mellemste Part af Forgaarden, som var foran Herrens Hus; thi han tillavede der Brændofrene og Fedtstykkerne af Takofrene, fordi det Kobberalter, som Salomo havde ladet gøre, ikke kunde tage imod Brændofferet og Madofferet og Fedtstykkerne.
8 And Solomon made a festival—at that time—for seven days, and all Israel with him, an exceeding great convocation, —from the entering in of Hamath, unto the ravine of Egypt.
Og Salomo holdt paa den samme Tid en Højtid paa syv Dage og al Israel med ham, en saare stor Forsamling, fra Strækningen imellem Hamath og Ægyptens Bæk.
9 And they made, on the eighth day, a closing feast, —because, the dedication of the altar, they had kept seven days and a festival seven days.
Og paa den ottende Dag holdt de en Slutningshøjtid; thi de holdt Alterets Indvielse i syv Dage og Højtiden i syv Dage.
10 And, on the twenty-third of the seventh month, he sent the people away to their own homes, —rejoicing and glad in heart, over the goodness which Yahweh had performed unto David and unto Solomon, and unto Israel his people.
Men paa den tre og tyvende Dag i den syvende Maaned lod han Folket fare til deres Telte, glade og ved et godt Mod over det gode, som Herren havde gjort imod David og Salomo og sit Folk Israel.
11 Thus Solomon finished the house of Yahweh, and the house of the king, —and, all that had come in upon the heart of Solomon, to do in the house of Yahweh and in his own house, he prosperously executed.
Saa fuldendte Salomo Herrens Hus og Kongens Hus; og alt det, som var opkommet i Salomos Hjerte at gøre i Herrens Hus og i sit Hus, det fik han Lykke til.
12 Then appeared Yahweh unto Solomon by night, —and said to him, I have heard thy prayer, and have made choice of this place for myself, as a house of sacrifice: —
Og Herren aabenbarede sig for Salomo om Natten og sagde til ham: Jeg har hørt din Bøn og udvalgt mig dette Sted til et Offerhus.
13 If I shut up the heavens that there be no rain, or if I lay command on the locust, to devour the land, —or if I send pestilence, amongst my people:
Se, naar jeg tillukker Himmelen, at der ikke vorder Regn, og se, naar jeg byder Græshopper at æde Landet, eller naar jeg lader Pest komme iblandt mit Folk,
14 if my people upon whom my Name is called shall humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will, I myself, hear out of the heavens, and forgive their sin, and heal their land.
og mit Folk, som er kaldet efter mit Navn, ydmyger sig, og de bede og søge mit Ansigt og omvende sig fra deres onde Vej: Saa vil jeg høre fra Himmelen af og forlade dem deres Synder og gøre deres Land sundt.
15 Now, mine eyes, shall be open, and, mine ears, attent, —to the prayer of this place.
Nu skulle mine Øjne være aabnede og mine Øren give Agt paa den Bøn, som sker paa dette Sted.
16 Now, therefore, have I chosen and hallowed this house, that my Name may be there, unto times age-abiding, —and mine eyes and my heart shall he there, all the days.
Og nu har jeg udvalgt og helliget mig dette Hus, at mit Navn skal være der indtil evig Tid, og mine Øjne og mit Hjerte skulle være der alle Dage.
17 Thou, therefore, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, even to do according to all that I have commanded thee, —and, my statutes and regulations, thou wilt observe,
Og du, om du vandrer for mit Ansigt, ligesom David, din Fader, har vandret, saa at du gør efter alt det, som jeg befalede dig, at du holder mine Skikke og mine Befalinger:
18 then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom, —according as I covenanted to David thy father, saying—There shall not fail thee a man, to rule over Israel.
Saa vil jeg ogsaa stadfæste dit Riges Trone, ligesom jeg har gjort en Pagt med din Fader David og sagt: Dig skal ikke fattes en Mand, som skal herske i Israel.
19 But, if, ye yourselves, shall turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, —and shall go and serve other gods, and bow down to them,
Men dersom I vende eder bort og forlade mine Skikke og mine Bud, som jeg har givet for eders Ansigt, og I gaa hen og tjene andre Guder og tilbede dem:
20 then will I root you out from off the soil, which I have given to you, and, this house, which I have hallowed for my Name, will I cast off from before my face, —and will appoint it for a by-word and a mockery, among all the peoples;
Da vil jeg oprykke eder af mit Land, som jeg har givet eder, og dette Hus, som jeg har helliget til mit Navn, vil jeg forkaste fra mit Ansigt, og jeg vil gøre det til et Ordsprog og til en Spot iblandt alle Folk.
21 and, this house which hath been renowned, all that pass by near it, shall be astonished, —and say, Wherefore hath Yahweh done, thus and thus, to this land, and to this house?
Og dette Hus, som har været højt, skulle alle, som gaa forbi det, grue for og sige: Hvorfor har Herren gjort saa imod dette Land og imod dette Hus?
22 And men shall say, Because they forsook Yahweh the God of their fathers, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold of other gods, and bowed down to them, and served them, for this cause, hath he brought upon them, all this calamity.
Og de skulle sige: Fordi de forlode Herren, deres Fædres Gud, som udførte dem af Ægyptens Land, og holdt fast ved andre Guder og tilbade dem og tjente dem: Derfor har han ladet alt dette onde komme over dem.
