2 Chronicles 2
1 And Solomon determined to build a house for the name of the LORD, and a house for his kingdom.
Salomo fik i Sinde at bygge et Hus for HERRENs Navn og et kongeligt Palads.
2 And Solomon numbered out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.
Salomo lod derfor udskrive 70.000 Mand til Lastdragere og 80.000 Mand til Stenhuggere i Bjergene og 3600 til at føre Tilsyn med dem.
3 And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him a house to dwell in it, [even so deal with me].
Og Salomo sendte Kong Huram af Tyrus følgende Bud: "Vær mod mig som mod min Fader David, hvem du sendte Cedertræ, for at han kunde bygge sig et Palads at bo i.
4 Behold, I build a house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate [it] to him, [and] to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual show-bread, and for the burnt-offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This [is an ordinance] for ever to Israel.
Se, jeg er ved at bygge HERREN min Guds Navn et Hus; det skal helliges ham, for at man kan brænde vellugtende Røgelse for hans Åsyn, altid have Skuebrødene fremme og ofre Brændofre hver Morgen og Aften, på Sabbaterne, Nymånedagene og HERREN vor Guds Højtider, som det til evig Tid påhviler Israel.
5 And the house which I build [is] great: for great [is] our God above all gods.
Huset, jeg vil bygge, skal være stort; thi vor Gud er større end alle Guder.
6 But who is able to build him a house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who [am] I then that I should build him a house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?
Hvem magter at bygge ham et Hus, når dog Himmelen og Himlenes Himle ikke kan rumme ham? Og hvem erjeg, at jeg skulde bygge ham et Hus, når det ikke var for at tænde Offerild for hans Åsyn!
7 Send me now therefore a man skillful to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that hath skill to grave with the skillful men that [are] with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.
Så send mig da en Mand, der har Forstand på at arbejde i Guld. Sølv, Kobber, Jern, rødt Purpur, Karmoisin og violet Purpur og forstår sig på Billedskærerarbejde, til at arbejde sammen med mine egne Mestre her i Juda og Jerusalem, dem, som min Fader antog;
8 Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees out of Lebanon: for I know that thy servants have skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and behold, my servants [shall be] with thy servants,
og send mig Ceder- Cypres- og Algummimtræ fra Libanon, thi jeg ved at dine Folk forstår at fælde Libanons Træer; og mine Folk skal hjælpe dine;
9 Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build [shall be] wonderfully great.
men Træ må jeg have i Mængde, thi Huset, jeg vil bygge, skal være stort, det skal være et Underværk.
10 And behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.
For Tømrerne, som fælder Træerne, vil jeg til Underhold for dine Folk give 20.000 Kor Hvede, 20.000 Kor Byg, 20.000 Bat Vin og 20.000 Bat Olie."
11 Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the LORD hath loved his people, he hath made thee king over them.
Kong Huram af Tyrus svarede i et Brev, som han sendte Salomo: "Fordi HERREN elsker sit Folk, har han gjort dig til Konge over dem!"
12 Huram said moreover, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, that may build a house for the LORD, and a house for his kingdom.
Og Huram føjede til: "Lovet være HERREN, Israels Gud, som har skabt Himmelen og Jorden, at han har givet Kong David en viis Søn, der har Forstand og Indsigt til at bygge et Hus for HERREN og et kongeligt Palads.
13 And now I have sent a skillful man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father's,
Her sender jeg dig en kyndig og indsigtsfuld Mand, Huram-Abi;
14 The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father [was] a man of Tyre, skillful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to engrave any manner of engraving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with thy skillful men, and with the skillful men of my lord David thy father.
han er Søn af en Kvinde fra Dan, men hans Fader er en Tyrier; han forstår at arbejde i Guld. Sølv, Kobber, Jern, Stem, Træ, rødt og violet Purpur, fint Linned og karmoisinfarvet Stof, forstår sig på al Slags Billedskærerarbejde og kan udtænke alle de Kunstværker, han sættes til; han skal arbejde sammen med dine og med min Herres, din Fader Davids, Mestre.
15 Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine which my lord hath spoken of, let him send to his servants;
Min Herre skal derfor sende sine Trælle Hveden, Byggen, Vinen og Olien, han talte om;
16 And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need: and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa; and thou mayest convey it to Jerusalem.
så vil vi fælde så mange Træer på Libanon, som du har Brug for, og sende dig dem i Tømmerflåder på Havet til Jafo; men du må selv få dem op til Jerusalem."
17 And Solomon numbered all the strangers that [were] in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father had numbered them; and they were found a hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred.
Salomo lod da alle fremmede Mænd, der boede i Israels Land, tælle - allerede tidligere havde hans fader David ladet dem tælle - og de fandtes at udgøre 153.600.
18 And he set seventy thousand of them [to be] bearers of burdens, and eighty thousand [to be] hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people to work.
Af dem gjorde han 70.000 til Lastdragere, 80.000 til Stenhuggere i Bjergene og 3.600 til Opsynsmænd til at lede Folkenes Arbejde.
