1 Chronicles 26

1 This is a list of the groups of men who guarded the temple gates: From the descendants of Korah, there was Meshelemiah, the son of Kore, who was one of the sons of Asaph.

Hvad Portnernes Skifter angaar, saa var der af Koriterne Meselemia, Kores Søn, af Asafs Børn.

2 The oldest son of Meshelemiah was Zechariah. His other sons were Jediael, Zebadiah, Jathniel,

Og Meselemia havde Sønner: Sakaria den førstefødte, Jedial den anden, Sebadja den tredje, Jathniel den fjerde,

3 Elam, Jehohanan, and Eliehoenai.

Elam den femte, Johanan den sjette, Eljoenaj den syvende.

4 [Another guard] was Obed-Edom. His oldest son was Shemaiah. His other sons were Jehozabad, Joah, Sacar, Nethanel,

Og Obed-Edom havde Sønner: Semaja den førstefødte, Josabad den anden, Joa den tredje og Sakar den fjerde og Nethaneel den femte,

5 Ammiel, Issachar, and Peullethai. It was because God had blessed him that he had many sons.

Ammiel den sjette, Isaskar den syvende, Peulthaj den ottende; thi Gud havde velsignet ham.

6 Obed-Edom’s son Shemaiah also had sons. They were leaders in their father’s family because they were capable of doing many things well.

Og for hans Søn Semaja bleve Sønner fødte, som herskede i deres Fædres Hus; thi de vare vældige i Styrke.

7 The sons of Shemaiah were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad. Shemaiah’s relatives Elihu and Semakiah were also capable men.

Semajas Sønner vare: Othni og Refael og Obed, Elsabad, hans Brødre, duelige Folk, Elihu og Semakja.

8 All of those descendants of Obed-Edom and their sons and relatives were capable people and strong workers. Altogether there were 62 of them.

Alle disse vare af Obed-Edoms Sønner, de med deres Sønner og deres Brødre, duelige Mænd og stærke til Tjenesten; der var to og tresindstyve af Obed-Edom.

9 Another guard was Meshelemiah. He and his sons and relatives were also capable people. There were 18 of them altogether.

Og Meselemias Sønner og Brødre, duelige Folk, vare atten.

10 Another guard was Hosah’s son Shimri, a descendant of Merari. Hosah appointed Shimri to be the leader, even though he was not Hosah’s oldest son.

Og Hosa af Meraris Børn havde Sønner: Simri var den første, enddog han ikke var den førstefødte, men hans Fader havde sat ham til at være den første;

11 Hosah’s other sons were Hilkiah, Tabaliah, and Zechariah. Altogether there were 13 sons and relatives of Hosah.

Hilkia den anden, Tebalia den tredje, Sakaria den fjerde; alle Hosas Sønner og Brødre vare tretten.

12 Those men were leaders of the groups of men who guarded the gates of the temple. They worked at the temple like their relatives did.

Efter disse, nemlig Mændenes Øverster, faldt Portnernes Skifter til Vagterne, i Forening med deres Brødre, for at gøre Tjeneste i Herrens Hus.

13 By casting lots, the leader of each family chose one gate for their group to guard. [All of them, including] young men and old men (OR, including leaders of large families and small families), cast lots.

Og de kastede Lod, saavel for den yngste som for den ældste, efter deres Fædres Hus, til hver Port.

14 Shelemiah’s group was selected to guard the East Gate. The group of Shelemiah’s son Zechariah, who was a wise counselor, was selected to guard the North Gate.

Og Lodden imod Østen faldt for Selemia; og de kastede Lod for hans Søn Sakaria, en klog Raadgiver, og hans Lod faldt ud imod Norden.

15 Then Obed-Edom’s group was selected to guard the South Gate, and his sons were selected to guard the [entrances to the temple] storerooms.

For Obed-Edom faldt Lodden imod Sønden, og for hans Sønner imod Skatkamrenes Hus.

16 Then Shuppim’s group and Hosah’s group were selected to guard the West Gate and the Shalleketh Gate on the upper road [to the temple]. The work for the guards was divided evenly.

For Suppim og for Hosa faldt Lodden imod Vesten ved Skalleket Port, paa Vejen, som gaar op ad; der var Vagt over for Vagt.

17 Each day there were six descendants of Levi who guarded the East Gate, four who guarded the North Gate, four who guarded the South Gate, and two at a time who guarded the entrances to the storerooms.

Imod Østen vare seks af Leviterne, imod Norden vare fire hver Dag, imod Sønden fire hver Dag og ved Skatkamrene to og to.

18 At the West gate there were two men who guarded the courtyard and four who guarded the road outside the courtyard.

Ved Parbar imod Vesten: Fire var der paa Vejen, to hen imod Parbar.

19 Those were the groups of men who were descendants of Korah and Merari who guarded the gates [of the temple].

Disse vare Portnernes Skifter af Koriternes Børn og af Meraris Børn.

20 Other descendants of Levi were in charge of the chests that contained the money that was dedicated to Yahweh, money that the people brought to the temple.

Men af Leviterne var Ahia over Guds Hus's Skatte og de hellige Tings Skatte.

21 [One of those men was] Ladan, a descendant of Gershon. He was the ancestor of several family groups. Jehiel was the leader of one of those family groups.

Ladans Sønner, nemlig Gersonitens Sønner af Ladan, Øversterne for Gersoniten Ladans Fædrenehuse, var Jehieli.

22 Others who had that work were Zetham and his [younger] brother Joel, who were the sons of Jehiel.

Jehielis Sønner vare Setham og Joel, hans Broder, som vare over Herrens Hus's Skatte.

23 Others who did that work were descendants of Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.

Af Amramiterne, af Jizehariterne, af Hebroniterne, af Ussieliterne,

24 [From the descendants of Amram], Shubael, a descendant of Moses’s son Gershom, was the leader who was in charge of the money chests.

var Sebuel en Søn af Gersom, Moses Søn, Opsynsmand over Skattene.

25 [Others who did that work were] the descendants of [Gershom’s younger brother] Eliezer. Those men were Eliezer’s son Rehabiah, Rehabiah’s son Jeshaiah, Jeshaiah’s son Joram, Joram’s son Zicri, and Zicri’s son Shelomith.

Men hvad angaar hans Brødre, dem af Elieser, saa var dennes Søn Rehabia og dennes Søn Jesaja og dennes Søn Joram og dennes Søn Sikri og dennes Søn Selomoth.

26 Shelomith and his relatives were in charge of all the valuable things that had been dedicated [to Yahweh] by King David, by the leaders of the family groups, by the army commanders of 1,000 soldiers and commanders of 100 soldiers, and by other army commanders.

Denne Selomoth og hans Brødre vare over alle Skattene af de hellige Ting, som Kong David samt Øversterne for Fædrenehusene, Høvedsmændene over tusinde, over hundrede og Stridshøvedsmændene havde helliget.

27 Some of the things that those army officers had taken [from Israel’s enemies] in battles they dedicated for the repair of the temple of Yahweh.

Fra Krigene og af Byttet havde de helliget det til at udbedre Herrens Hus med.

28 And Shelomith and his relatives were also in charge of everything that had been dedicated [to Yahweh] by the prophet Samuel, by King Saul, and by [David’s two army commanders] Ner and Joab.

Og alt hvad Samuel, Seeren og Saul, Kis's Søn, og Abner, Ners Søn, og Joab, Zerujas Søn, havde helliget, alt hvad hver havde helliget, det var under Selomiths og hans Brødres Haand.

29 From the descendants of Izhar, Kenaniah and his sons were given work outside [the temple area]. They were officials and judges in [various places] in Israel.

Af Jizehariterne vare Kenanja og hans Sønner beskikkede over Israel, til den udvortes Gerning, som Fogeder og som Dommere.

30 From the descendants of Hebron, Hashabiah and his relatives were responsible for the work done for Yahweh and for the king in all the area west of the Jordan [river]. There were 1,700 of them who were able to do their work well.

Af Hebroniterne vare Hasabia og hans Brødre, duelige Folk, tusinde og syv Hundrede, beskikkede over Embederne i Israel paa denne Side Jordanen imod Vesten, til alle Haande Herrens Gerning og til Kongens Tjeneste.

31 It was written in the records of the descendants of Hebron that Jeriah was their leader. When David had been ruling for almost 40 years, they searched in those records, and they found [names of] capable men descended from Hebron who were at Jazer [city] in the Gilead [region].

Af Hebroniterne var Jerija den Øverste for Hebroniterne efter deres Slægter, efter deres Fædrenehuse; i det fyrretyvende Aar af Davids Regering blev der søgt og fundet iblandt dem vældige Helte i Jaeser i Gilead.

32 Jeriah had 2,700 relatives who were able to do their work well, and who were leaders of their families. King David put them in charge of governing the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and [the eastern] half of the tribe of Manasseh, to be sure that all the people did what God and the king told them to do.

Og hans Brødre vare duelige Mænd, to Tusinde og syv Hundrede, Øverster for Fædrenehuse; og Kong David satte dem over Rubeniterne og Gaditerne og den halve Manasses Stamme i alle Guds Sager og alle Kongens Sager.
