2 Chronicles 8
1 Solomon’s [workers] worked for 20 years to build the temple and the king’s palace.
Da de tyve År var omme, i hvilke Salomo havde bygget på HERRENs Hus og sit Palads -
2 Then his [workers] rebuilt the cities that [King] Hiram had given back to Solomon, and Solomon sent Israelis to live in those cities.
også de Byer, Huram afstod til Salomo, befæstede Salomo og lod Israeliterne bosætte sig i dem -
3 Solomon’s [army] then went to Hamath-Zobah [town] and captured it.
drog Salomo til Hamat-Zoba og indtog det.
4 His workers also rebuilt walls around Tadmor [town] in the desert, and in [the] Hamath [region] in all the towns where they kept supplies.
Han befæstede også Tadmor i Ørkenen og alle de Forrådsbyer, han byggede i Hamat;
5 They rebuilt Upper Beth-Horon [town] and Lower Beth-Horon [city], and built walls around them with gates [in the walls] and bars [to fasten the gates].
ligeledes genopbyggedehan Øvre og Nedre-Bet-Horon, så de blev Fæstninger med Mure, Porte og Portslåer,
6 They also rebuilt Baalath [town] and all the cities where supplies were kept and the cities where Solomon’s chariots and horses were kept. Solomon’s [workers] built whatever he wanted them to build, in Jerusalem and in Lebanon, and in other places in the area that he ruled.
ligeledes Ba'alat og alle Salomos Forrådsbyer, Vognbyerne og Rytterbyerne, og alt andet, som Salomo fik Lyst til at bygge i Jerusalem, i Libanon og i hele sit Rige.
7 Solomon forced people from many other groups who were not Israelis to work for him like slaves. They were people from the Heth, Amor, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups.
Alt, hvad der var tilbage af Hetiterne, Amoriterne, Perizziterne, Hivviterne og Jebusiterne, og som ikke hørte til Israeliterne,
8 They were descendants of groups whom the Israelis had not completely destroyed. Solomon forced them to become his slaves, and they are still slaves.
deres Efterkommere, som var tilbage efter dem i Landet, og som Israeliterne ikke havde tilintetgjort. dem udskrev Salomo til Hoveriarbejde, som det er den Dag i Dag.
9 But Solomon did not force Israelis to work for him. Israelis became his soldiers and commanders of his chariots and his chariot-drivers.
Af Israeliterne derimod gjorde Salomo ingen til Arbejdstrælle for sig, men de var Krigsfolk, Hærførere og Vognkæmpere hos ham og Førere for hans Stridsvogne og Rytteri.
10 They were also King Solomon’s chief officials. There were 250 of them, and they supervised the workers.
Tallet på Kong Salomos Overfogeder var 250; de havde Tilsyn med Folkene.
11 Solomon moved his wife, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt, from [the place outside Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’ to the place that his workers had built for her. He said, “I do not want my wife to live in the palace that [my father] King David’s workers built, because the Sacred Chest [was in that palace for a while], and any place where the Sacred Chest has been is holy.”
Faraos Datter flyttede Salomo fra Davidsbyen ind i det Hus, han havde bygget til hende; thi han tænkte: "Jeg vil ikke have en Kvinde boende i Kong David af Israels Palads, thi bellige er de Steder, hvor HERRENs Ark kommer."
12 On the altar that Solomon’s [workers] had built in front of the entrance [to the temple], Solomon sacrificed many offerings that were to be completely burned.
Nu ofrede Salomo Brændofre til HERREN på HERRENs Alter, som han Havde bygget foran Forhallen,
13 He did that to obey the rules about what sacrifices Moses had declared should be made. These included sacrifices for every day and for the Sabbath days and to celebrate each day on which there was a new moon and for the three other festivals that were celebrated each year. Those festivals were the Festival of Eating Unleavened Bread, the Harvest Festival, and the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters.
idet han ofrede, som det efter Moses's Bud hørte sig til hver enkelt Dag, på Sabbaterne, Nymånedagene og Højtiderne tre Gange om Året, de usyrede Brøds Højtid, Ugernes Højtid og Løvhytternes Højtid.
14 Obeying what his father David had commanded, he appointed the groups of priests for their work, and he appointed the descendants of Levi to lead the people while they sang to praise Yahweh and while they assisted the priests in their daily work. He also appointed groups of them to guard all the gates, because that was also what David, the man who pleased God [very well], had commanded.
Og efter den Ordning, hans Fader David havde truffet, satte han Præsternes Skifter til deres Arbejde og Leviterne til deres Tjeneste, til at synge Lovsangen og gå Præsterne til Hånde efter hver Dags Behov, ligeledes Dørvogterne efter deres Skifter til at holde Vagt ved de enkelte Porte; thi således var den Guds Mand Davids Bud.
15 The priests and other descendants of Levi obeyed completely everything that the king commanded, including [taking care of] the storerooms.
Og man fraveg ikke i mindste Måde Kongens Bud vedrørende Præsterne og Leviterne og Skatkamrene.
16 They did all the work [of building the temple] that Solomon told them to do, until it was all completed. So they finishing building the temple.
Således fuldendtes hele Salomos Værk, fra den Dag Grundvolden lagdes til HERRENs Hus, til Salomo var færdig med HERRENs Hus.
17 Then some of Solomon’s men went to Ezion-Geber and Elath [cities] on the coast of the Red Sea, an area that belonged to the Edom people-group.
Ved den Tid drog Salomo til Ezjongeber og Elot ved Edoms Kyst;
18 King Hiram sent to Solomon from [Tyre city] some ships that were commanded by his officers. They were men who were experienced sailors. These men went in the ships with Solomon’s men to [the] Ophir [region] and brought back about 17 tons of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
og Huram sendte ham Folk med Skibe og befarne Søfolk, der sammen med Salomos Folk sejlede til Ofir, hvor de hentede 450 Talenter Guld, som de bragte Kong Salomo.
