2 Chronicles 9
1 And, the queen of Sheba, heard the report of Solomon, so she came to prove Solomon with abstruse questions, in Jerusalem, with a very great train, and camels bearing spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones, —and, when she was come to Solomon, she spake with him, as to all that was near 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 answered her all her questions, —and there was nothing hidden from Solomon, which he told her not.
Men Salomo svarede paa alle hendes Spørgsmaal, og intet som helst var skjult for Salomo, han gav hende Svar paa alt.
3 And, when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built;
Og da Dronningen at Saba saa Salomos Visdom, Huset, han havde bygget,
4 and the food of his table, and the seats of his servants, and the standing of his attendants, with their apparel, and his cupbearers, and their apparel, and his ascent whereby he used to ascend the house of Yahweh, then was there in her no more spirit.
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 said unto the king, True was the word, which I heard in my own land, —concerning thine affairs, and concerning thy wisdom.
og hun sagde til Kongen: »Sandt var, hvad jeg i mit Land hørte sige om dig og din Visdom!
6 Howbeit I believed not their words, until I had come and mine own eyes had seen, when lo! there had not been told me, the half of the fulness of thy wisdom, —thou dost exceed the report which 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 How happy! are thy men, and how happy! are these thy servants, —who are standing before thee continually, and hearing thy wisdom.
Lykkelige dine Mænd, lykkelige dine Folk, som altid er om dig og hører din Visdom!
8 Yahweh thy God be blessed, who hath delighted in thee, to set thee upon his throne as king unto Yahweh thy God. Because of the love of thy God unto Israel, to establish them unto times age-abiding, therefore hath he set thee over them, as king, to execute justice 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 gave unto the king, a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance and precious stones, —and there was none like that spice, which the queen of Sheba gave unto 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 Moreover also, the servants of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought sandal-wood and precious stones.
Desuden bragte Hurams og Salomos Folk, som hentede Guld i Ofir, Algummimtræ og Ædelsten;
11 And the king made of the sandal-wood, stairs unto the house of Yahweh, and unto the house of the king, also lyres and harps, for the singers, —and there were none seen like them 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, gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, besides [a return for] that which she had brought unto the king, —so she turned, and went away 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. Derpaa 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 Aar indførtes af Salomo, udgjorde 666 Guldtalenter,
14 besides what came in from the subjugated, and what the travelling merchants were bringing in, —and, all the kings of Arabia and the pashas of the land, were bringing gold and silver, unto 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 made two hundred shields of beaten gold, —six hundred [shekels] of beaten gold, overlay one shield;
Kong Salomo lod hamre 200 Guldskjolde, hvert paa 600 Sekel Guld,
16 also three hundred bucklers of beaten gold, three hundred [shekels] of gold, overlay one buckler, —and the king placed 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 made a great throne of ivory, —and overlaid it with pure gold;
Fremdeles lod Kongen lave en stor, Elfenbenstrone, overtrukket med lutret Guld.
18 and there were six steps to the throne, and a footstool in gold, unto the throne, made fast, and supports, on this side and on that, unto the seat, —and, two lions, standing by the supports;
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, standing there upon the six steps, on this side and on that, —there was never made the like, 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, were of gold, and, all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon, were of purified gold, —there was no silver, it was esteemed, in the days of Solomon, as nothing.
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 ships of the king, used to go to Tarshish, with the servants of Huram, —once in three years, came in the ships of Tarshish, bearing gold and silver, ivory and apes, and peacocks.
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 so King Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth, —as to riches, and wisdom.
Kong Salomo overgik alle Jordens Konger i Rigdom og Visdom.
23 And, all the kings of the earth, were seeking the face 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 and, they, were bringing in every man his present—utensils of silver, and utensils of gold, and mantles, armour, and spices, horses and mules, —the need of a year in a year.
og alle bragte de Gaver med: Sølv— og Guldsager, Klæder, Vaaben, Røgelse, Heste og Muldyr; saaledes gik det Aar efter Aar.
25 And Solomon had four thousand stalls of horses, and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, —and he settled them in the chariot cities, 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 ruled over all the kings, —from the river [Euphrates], even up to the land of the Philistines, yea up to the bounds of Egypt.
Han herskede over alle Konger fra Floden til Filisternes Land og Ægyptens Grænse.
27 And the king made the silver in Jerusalem like the stones, —and, the cedar trees, made he like the sycomores which are in the lowland, 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 used to bring horses out of Egypt unto Solomon, 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, are they not written in the records of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in 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 reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel, forty years.
Salomo herskede i Jerusalem over hele Israel i fyrretyve Aar.
31 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David his father, —and Rehoboam his son reigned 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.
