1 Chronicles 28
1 David summoned all the leaders of Israel to come to Jerusalem. He summoned the leaders of the tribes, the leaders/commanders of the groups that worked for the king, the commanders of 100 soldiers, the commanders of 1,000 soldiers, those who were in charge of the property and livestock that belonged to the king and his sons, all the palace officials, and his mighty soldiers and bravest warriors.
Derpaa samlede David i Jerusalem alle Israels Øverster, Stammeøversterne, Skifternes Øverster, som var i Kongens Tjeneste, Tusind— og Hundredførerne, Overopsynsmændene over alle Kongens og hans Sønners Ejendele og Kvæg, ligeledes Hofmændene, Kærnetropperne og alle dygtige Krigere.
2 David stood up and said, “My fellow Israelis, listen to me. I wanted [IDM] to build a temple to be a place where we would put the Sacred Chest of Yahweh, where it would stay permanently. And I made plans to build it.
Kong David rejste sig op og sagde: »Hør mig, mine Brødre og mit Folk! Jeg havde i Sinde at bygge HERRENS Pagts Ark og vor Guds Fodskammel et Hus at hvile i og havde truffet forberedelser til at bygge.
3 But God said to me, ‘You are not the one who will [arrange to] build a temple for me [MTY], because you are a warrior and you have killed many people [MTY] [in battles].’
Men Gud sagde til mig: Du skal ikke bygge mit Navn et Hus, thi du er en Krigens Mand og har udgydt Blod!
4 “But Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong, had chosen me and my descendants to be the kings of Israel forever. [First] he chose the tribe of Judah, and from the people [MTY] of Judah he chose my family, and from my father’s sons he chose me to be the king over all of Israel.
Af mit Fædrenehus udvalgte HERREN, Israels Gud, ene mig til Konge over Israel evindelig, thi han udvalgte Juda til Fyrste og af Juda mit Fædrenehus, og mellem min Faders Sønner fandt han Behag i mig, saa han gjorde mig til Konge over hele Israel.
5 Yahweh has given me many sons, but from them he chose my son Solomon to be the next king to rule [MTY] the kingdom of Israel.
Og af alle mine Sønner — HERREN har givet mig mange Sønner — har han udvalgt min Søn Salomo til at sidde paa HERRENS Kongetrone og herske over Israel.
6 He said to me, ‘Solomon your son is the one who will [arrange to] build my temple and the courtyards around it, because I have chosen him to be [like] my son and I will be [like] [MET] his father.
Og han sagde til mig: Din Søn Salomo er den, som skal bygge mit Hus og mine Forgaarde, thi ham har jeg udvalgt til min Søn, og jeg vil være ham en Fader;
7 I will enable his kingdom to endure forever if he continues to obey my laws and commands, like you are doing now.’
jeg vil grundfæste hans Kongedømme til evig Tid, hvis han holder fast ved mine Bud og Lovbud og gør efter dem saaledes som nu.
8 “So now, while all [you people of] Israel, all of you who belong to Yahweh, are watching, and while God is listening, I command you [leaders] to carefully obey all the commands of Yahweh our God, in order that you may continue to possess this good land and enable your descendants to inherit it forever.
Og nu, for hele Israels, HERRENS Forsamlings, Øjne og i vor Guds Paahør siger jeg: Stræb at holde alle HERREN eders Guds Bud, at I maa eje dette herlige Land og lade det gaa i Arv til eders Efterkommere til evig Tid!
9 “And you, my son Solomon, must know God like I know him, and you must serve him faithfully and because you want to. You must do that because he knows what everyone is thinking and he understands the reasons that people do what they do. If you seek [to know] him, he will heed your prayers. But if you abandon/reject him, he will abandon/reject you forever.
Og du, min Søn Salomo! Kend din Faders Gud og tjen ham med et helt Hjerte og en villig Sjæl, thi HERREN ransager alle Hjerter og kender alt, hvad der rører sig i deres Tanker. Hvis du søger ham, vil han lade sig finde af dig, men forlader du ham, vil han forkaste dig for evigt.
10 Yahweh has chosen you to [arrange to] build a temple for him. So think about [what I have said], and be strong and do what [he is wanting you to do].”
Saa se da til, thi HERREN har udvalgt dig til at bygge et Hus til Helligdom! Gaa til Værket med Frimodighed!«
11 Then David gave to his son Solomon [the scroll on which were written] the plans for the main rooms of the temple, its porch, its storerooms, all the other upper and lower rooms, and the Very Holy Place where God would forgive the sins that people had committed.
Derpaa gav David sin Søn Salomo Planen til Forhallen, Templets Bygninger, Forraadskamrene, Rummene paa Taget, de indre Kamre og Hallen til Sonedækket
12 David wrote for him the plans that God’s Spirit had put into his mind for building the courtyards and all the rooms that surrounded the temple, including the room where the money and other valuable things that were dedicated to God would be kept.
og Planen til alt, hvad der stod for hans Tanke med Hensyn til HERRENS Hus's Forgaarde og alle Kamrene rundt om, Guds Hus's Skatkamre og Skatkamrene til Helliggaverne,
13 He gave Solomon instructions for the groups of priests and other descendants of Levi, about all the work that they must do to serve in Yahweh’s temple, and about taking care of all the things that would be used in the work at the temple.
fremdeles Anvisninger om Præsternes og Leviternes Skifter og alt Arbejdet ved Tjenesten i HERRENS Hus og alting, som hørte til Tjenesten i HERRENS Hus,
14 He wrote down how much gold and how much silver should be used to make all the items in the temple:
om Guldet, den Vægt, der skulde til hver enkelt Ting, som hørte til Tjenesten, og om alle Sølvtingene, den Vægt, der skulde til hver enkelt Ting, som hørte til Tjenesten,
15 how much gold for making the gold lampstands and the lamps, how much silver to make the silver lamps and lampstands,
fremdeles om Vægten paa Guldlysestagerne og deres Guldlamper, Vægten paa hver enkelt Lysestage og dens Lamper, og paa Sølvlysestagerne, Vægten paa hver enkelt Lysestage og dens Lamper, svarende til hver enkelt Lysestages Brug ved Tjenesten,
16 how much gold for making the table on which [the priests would put] the sacred bread, how much silver to use to make the other tables,
fremdeles om Vægten paa Guldet til Skuebrødsbordene, til hvert enkelt Skuebrødsbord, og paa Sølvet til Sølvbordene
17 how much pure gold for the meat forks and the bowls and the cups, how much gold for each gold dish, how much silver for each silver dish,
og om Gaflerne, Skaalene og Krukkerne af purt Guld og om Guldbægrene, Vægten paa hvert enkelt Bæger, og Sølvbægrene, Vægten paa hvert enkelt Bæger,
18 and how much pure gold to make the altar for [burning] incense. He also gave to Solomon his plans for making the golden statues of winged creatures that would be above the Sacred Chest of Yahweh, [like] a chariot for him.
og om Vægten paa Røgofferalteret af purt Guld og om Tegningen til Vognen, til Guldkeruberne, som udbredte Vingerne skærmende over HERRENS Pagts Ark.
19 Then David said, “I have written [all these plans] while Yahweh was directing [MTY] me. He has enabled me to understand all the details of his plan [for the temple that is to be built].”
»HERREN har sat mig ind i alt dette ved et Skrift, jeg har fra hans egen Haand, i alle de Arbejder, Planen omfatter.«
20 David also said to his son Solomon, “Be strong and courageous, and do this work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, because Yahweh our God will be with/helping you. He will not fail [to help] you or abandon you until you finish all the work of making his temple.
Derpaa sagde David til sin Søn Salomo: »Gaa til Værket og vær frimodig og stærk, frygt ikke og tab ikke Modet, thi Gud HERREN, min Gud, vil være med dig! Han vil ikke slippe dig og ikke forlade dig, før alt Arbejdet med HERRENS Hus er fuldført.
21 The groups of priests and [other] descendants of Levi are ready to begin their work at the temple, and every man who has a special skill will help you in all the work. And my officials and the other people will obey you, whatever you command them to do.”
Se, Præsternes og Leviternes Skifter er rede til alt Arbejdet ved Guds Hus; og til alt, hvad der skal udføres, har du Folk hos dig, der alle er villige og forstaar sig paa Arbejder af enhver Art, og Øversterne og hele Folket er rede til alt, hvad du kræver.«
