2 Chronicles 8
1 It came about at the end of twenty years, during which Solomon had built the house of Yahweh and his own house,
Og det skete, der de tyve Aar vare til Ende, i hvilke Salomo byggede Herrens Hus og sit Hus,
2 that Solomon rebuilt the towns that Hiram had given to him, and he settled the people of Israel in them.
da byggede Salomo de Stæder, som Huram gav Salomo tilbage, og lod Israels Børn bo der.
3 Solomon attacked Hamathzobah and defeated it.
Derefter drog Salomo til Hamath-Zoba og fik Overhaand over den.
4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath.
Han byggede og Thadmor i Ørken og alle de Forraadsstæder, som han byggede i Hamath.
5 Also he built Beth Horon the Upper and Beth Horon the Lower, cities fortified with walls, gates, and bars.
Og han byggede det øvre Beth-Horon og det nedre Beth-Horon, faste Stæder med Mure og dobbelte Porte og Stænger;
6 He built Baalath and all the store cities that he possessed, and all the cities for his chariots and the cities for his horsemen, and whatever he wished to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the lands under his rule.
og Baalath og alle de Forraadsstæder, som Salomo havde, og alle Vognstæder og Stæder til Ryttere og alt det, som Salomo begærede, som han havde Lyst til at bygge i Jerusalem og paa Libanon og i hele sit Herredømmes Land.
7 As for all the people who were left of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who did not belong to Israel,
Alt det Folk, som var overblevet af Hethiter og Amoriter og Feresiter og Heviter og Jebusiter, de som ikke vare af Israel —
8 their descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the people of Israel had not destroyed—Solomon made them into forced laborers, which they are to this day.
af deres Børn, som vare overblevne efter dem i Landet, og som Israels Børn ikke havde udryddet, dem udtog da Salomo til at være arbejdspligtige indtil denne Dag.
9 However, Solomon made no forced laborers of the people of Israel. Instead, they became his soldiers, his commanders, his officers, and commanders of his chariot forces and his horsemen.
Men af Israels Børn var der ingen, som Salomo gjorde til Trælle til sin Gerning; men de vare Krigsmænd og Øverster over hans Høvedsmænd og Øverster over hans Vogne og hans Ryttere.
10 These were also the chief officers managing the supervisors who belonged to King Solomon, 250 of them, who supervised the people who did the work.
Og disse vare de øverste Befalingsmænd, som Kong Salomo havde, to Hundrede og halvtredsindstyve, som regerede over Folket.
11 Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David to the house that he had built for her, for he said, “My wife must not live in the house of David king of Israel, because wherever the ark of Yahweh has come is holy.”
Og Salomo lod Faraos Datter drage op fra Davids Stad ind i det Hus, som han havde bygget til hende; thi han sagde: Min Hustru skal ikke bo i Davids, Israels Konges, Hus; thi de Huse ere hellige, efterdi Herrens Ark er kommen i dem.
12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to Yahweh on his altar that he had built in front of the portico.
Da ofrede Salomo Herren Brændofre paa Herrens Alter, som han havde bygget foran Forhallen,
13 He offered sacrifices just as the daily schedule required; he offered them, following the directions found in the commandment of Moses, on the Sabbath days, the new moons, and on the set festivals three times every year: the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Shelters.
og hvad der hørte til hver Dag at ofre efter Mose Bud, paa Sabbaterne og Nymaanederne og de bestemte Tider, tre Gange om Aaret, nemlig: Paa de usyrede Brøds Højtid og paa Ugernes Højtid og paa Løvsalernes Højtid.
14 In keeping with the decrees of his father David, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests to their work, and the Levites to their positions, in order to praise God and to serve before the priests, as the daily schedule required. He also appointed the gatekeepers by their divisions to every gate, for David, the man of God, had also commanded this.
Og han beskikkede efter Davids, sin Faders, Vis Præsternes Skifter til deres Tjeneste og Leviterne til deres Vagter, til at love og at gøre Tjeneste over for Præsterne, efter hvad der hørte til hver Dag, og Portnerne i deres Skifter til hver Port; thi saaledes var Davids, den Guds Mands, Befaling.
15 These people did not deviate from the commands of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the storerooms.
Og de vege ikke fra Kongens Befaling om Præsterne og Leviterne angaaende enhver Sag og angaaende Skattene.
16 All the work ordered by Solomon was completed, from the day the foundation of the house of Yahweh was laid until it was finished. The house of Yahweh was completed.
Og al Salomos Gerning var beredt til den Dag, Grundvolden blev lagt til Herrens Hus, og indtil han havde fuldendt det. Herrens Hus blev fuldkommet.
17 Then Solomon went to Ezion Geber and then to Elath on the coast, in the land of Edom.
Da drog Salomo til Ezion-Geber og til Eloth, til Havets Bred i Edoms Land.
18 Hiram sent him ships commanded by his own officers, men who knew the sea, and with the servants of Solomon they went to Ophir and they took from there 450 talents of gold and brought it to King Solomon.
Og Huram sendte ham Skibe ved sine Tjenere og Tjenere forfarne til Søs, og de kom med Salomos Tjenere til Ofir og hentede derfra fire Hundrede og halvtredsindstyve Centner Guld, og de førte det til Kong Salomo.
