1 Chronicles 22
1 Then David said, “Here, [at the edge of Jerusalem, ] is where [we will build] the temple for our God Yahweh, and where [we will make] the altar for burning the offerings that the Israeli [people will bring].”
Og David sagde: «Her skal huset åt Herren Gud standa, og her skal altaret for Israels brennoffer vera.»
2 So David commanded that the foreigners who lived in Israel must gather together. [When they did that, ] he appointed [some of those] men to [cut huge] stones [from the quarries] and to smooth their surfaces, to be used to build the temple of God.
Og David sende bod at dei skulde samla dei framande som var i Israels land, og han sette steinhoggarar til å hogga steinar til byggjevyrke åt Guds hus.
3 David provided a large amount of iron for making nails and hinges for the doors in the gates of the temple. He also provided so much bronze [for making the altar and various utensils], that no one could weigh it all.
Og David rådde seg nøgdi av jarn til spikar i portdørerne og til kjengar, og ei slik ovmengd med kopar at han var uvegande,
4 He also provided [money for buying] a large amount of cedar logs. Because there was a huge number of them, no one was able to count them. Those were logs that men from Tyre and Sidon [cities] sent to David.
og cedertre i uteljande mengd; for Sidon- og Tyrus-buarne førde nøgdi av cedertre til David.
5 David [provided all those things because he] thought, “My son Solomon is still young and he does not know what he needs to know [about building], and the temple of Yahweh must be (magnificent/very beautiful). It must be a glorious building that will become famous, and people throughout the world must consider it to be glorious/splendid. So now I will begin to prepare for it to be built, [and Solomon will be responsible for building it].” So David collected a great amount of building materials before he died.
For David tenkte: «Salomo, son min, er ung og kløkk; men huset som skal byggjast åt Herren, bør vera ovstort, so det kann verta til gjetord og æra i alle land. Difor vil eg få til vegar vyrke åt honom.» So rådde David seg ei nøgd med vyrke fyrr han døydde.
6 [When] David [was old, he] summoned his son Solomon, and told him that he should arrange for a temple to be built for Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worshiped].
So kalla han til seg Salomo, son sin, og bad honom byggja eit hus åt Herren, Israels Gud.
7 He said to him, “I wanted [IDM] to build a temple to honor [MTY] Yahweh, my God.
Og David sagde til Salomo, son sin: «Eg hadde sjølv tenkt meg til å byggja eit hus for namnet åt Herren, min Gud.
8 But Yahweh told [a prophet to tell] me, ‘You have killed many men [MTY] in the battles that you have fought. I have seen the blood of all the people whom you killed, so you will not be the one who will arrange for a temple to be built to honor me [MTY].
Men Herrens ord kom til meg soleis: «Du hev rent ut mykje blod og gjort store herferder; du skal ikkje byggja eit hus åt namnet mitt; for du hev rent ut so mykje blod på jordi for mi åsyn.
9 But you will have a son [who will be king of Israel after you die]. He will be a man who is peaceful and quiet, [not a man who kills others]. And I will cause that there will be peace between him and his enemies who are in all the nearby lands. His name will be Solomon, [which sounds like the word for peace]. During the time that he is king, people in Israel will be peaceful and safe.
Men du skal få ein son; han skal verta ein fredsæl mann; og eg skal lata honom få fred for alle fiendarne sine rundt ikring; for Salomo skal vera namnet hans, og eg skal lata fred og ro liggja yver Israel i hans dagar.
10 He is the one who will arrange for a temple to be built to honor me [MTY]. He will be [like] a son to me, and I will cause some of his descendants to rule [MTY] over Israel forever [HYP].’
Han skal byggja eit hus åt namnet mitt. Han skal vera son min, og eg skal vera far hans. Og eg skal grunnfesta kongsstolen hans yver Israel i all æva.»
11 “So now, my son, I hope/wish that Yahweh will help you, and enable you to be successful in arranging for building the temple of Yahweh, your God, which is what he said that you would do.
Herren vere no med deg, son min! Du have lukka med deg, so du fær byggja huset åt Herren din Gud, soleis som han hev tala um deg.
12 I also hope/wish that he will enable you to be wise and to understand what you need to know, and enable you to obey his laws while you rule over Israel.
Berre Herren vil gjeva deg visdom og skyndsemd, når han set deg yver Israel, og hjelpa deg til å halda lovi frå Herren, din Gud,
13 If you carefully obey all the laws and regulations/commands that Yahweh gave to Moses to give to us Israeli people, you will be successful. So be steadfast/strong and courageous. Do not be afraid of anything, and do not become discouraged!
so skal du hava lukka med deg, um du kjem i hug å liva etter dei bodi og loverne som Herren hev bode Moses leggja på Israel. Ver sterk og stød; du skal ikkje ræddast og ikkje fæla.
14 “I have tried hard to provide [materials] for [building] the temple of Yahweh. I have provided nearly 4,000 tons of gold, and nearly 40,000 tons of silver. I have also provided a very large amount of iron and bronze; no one has been able to weigh it all. I have also gathered/provided lumber and stone [for the walls of the temple], but you may need to get some more of those things.
Og trass i all mi naud hev eg no fenge fram til Herrens hus eit hundrad tusund talent gull og tusund gonger tusund talent sylv, og dertil meir kopar og jarn enn ein kann vega; so mykje er det; trevyrke og stein hev eg og rådt meg, og meir må du sjølv leggja attåt.
15 There are many men [in Israel] who have good ability to cut big stones for making stone walls, and carpenters, and men who are very skilled at making various kinds of things.
Arbeidsfolk hev du og nøgdi av, håndverkarar, steinhoggarar og timbremenner, og dertil allslags folk som er hage til alt anna arbeid.
16 There are many men who know how to make things from gold and silver and bronze and iron. So now [I say to you], begin the work [of building the temple], and I hope/wish that Yahweh will help/be with you.”
Gullet, sylvet, koparen og jarnet kann ein ikkje halda rekning på. Upp då og tak fatt på verket, og Herren vere med deg!»
17 Then David commanded that all the Israeli leaders must assist Solomon. He said to them,
Deretter baud David alle hovdingarne i Israel hjelpa Salomo, son hans, og sagde:
18 “Yahweh our God is certainly with/helping you [RHQ]. He has allowed you to have peace with all the nearby nations [RHQ]. He has enabled my [army] to conquer [IDM] them, so now Yahweh and my people control them.
«Herren, dykkar Gud, er då med dykk og hev gjeve dykk ro på alle sidor; for han hev gjeve i mi hand deim som fyrr budde i landet, og det er lagt under Herren og hans folk.
19 Now you must obey Yahweh completely. Help Solomon to arrange for building the temple for Yahweh God, in order that you can bring the Sacred Chest that contains the Ten Commandments and the other sacred items that belong to God into the temple that you will build to honor Yahweh.”
So vend no dykkar hjarta og hug til å søkja Herren dykkar Gud, og tak til og bygg Herren Guds heilagdom, so de kann få føra Herrens sambandskista og alt det andre som høyrer til Guds heilagdom, inn i det huset som skal byggjast åt Herrens namn.»
