< 2 Krönikeboken 8 >
1 Och efter tjugu år, i hvilkom Salomo Herrans hus, och sitt hus byggde;
And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house,
2 Byggde han ock de städer, som Hyram gaf Salomo, och lät Israels barn bo deruti.
That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
3 Och Salomo drog till HamathZoba, och gjorde det fast;
And Solomon went to Hamathzobah, and prevailed against it.
4 Och byggde Thadmor i öknene, och alla kornstäder, som han byggde i Hamath.
And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath.
5 Han byggde ock öfra och nedra BethHoron, hvilka faste städer voro med murar, portar och bommar;
Also he built Bethhoron the upper, and Bethhoron the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars;
6 Desslikes Baalath, och alla kornstäder som Salomo hade, och alla vagnsstäder, och resenärars städer, och allt det Salomo lyste att bygga, både i Jerusalem och på Libanon, och i allo hans väldes lande.
And Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion.
7 Allt det folk, som qvart blifvet var, af de Hetheer, Amoreer, Phereseer, Heveer och Jebuseer, som icke voro af Israels barn;
As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel,
8 Och deras barn, som de efter sig left hade i landena, hvilka Israels barn icke förlagt hade, gjorde Salomo skattpligtiga, allt intill denna dag.
But of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until this day.
9 Men af Israels barn gjorde Salomo inga trälar, till sitt arbete; utan de voro krigsmän, och öfver hans riddare, och öfver hans vagnar och resenärar.
But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots and horsemen.
10 Och de öfverste Konung Salomos befallningsmän voro tuhundrad och femtio, som öfver folket rådde.
And these were the chief of king Solomon’s officers, even two hundred and fifty, that bore rule over the people.
11 Och Pharaos dotter lät Salomo hemta af Davids stad, uti det hus, som han för henne byggt hade; ty han sade: Min hustru skall icke bo uti Davids Israels Konungs huse; förty det är helgadt, efter Herrans ark der inkommen är.
And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David to the house that he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, where the ark of the LORD has come.
12 Sedan offrade Salomo Herranom bränneoffer på Herrans altare, som han byggt hade för förhuset;
Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch,
13 Till att offra hvart på sin dag, efter Mose bud; på Sabbather, nymånader, och på bestämda tider, tre resor om året; nämliga på osyrade bröds högtidene, på veckohögtidene, och på löfhyddohögtidene.
Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.
14 Och han satte Presterna i deras skifte till deras ämbete, såsom David hans fader det lagat hade; och Leviterna på deras vakt till att lofva och tjena för Presterna, hvar sin dag; och de dörravaktare i deras skifte, hvar vid sina dörr; ty så hade David den Guds mannen befallt.
And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise and minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required: the porters also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded.
15 Och man vek icke ifrå Konungens bud, om Presterna och Leviterna, i någrahanda ärende och håfvor.
And they departed not from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.
16 Alltså vardt redo hvad Salomo för händer haft hade, ifrå den dag, då Herrans hus grundadt vardt, intilldess han fullkomnade det; så att Herrans hus allt redo vardt.
Now all the work of Solomon was prepared to the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected.
17 Så drog Salomo till EzionGeber, och till Eloth, vid hafsstrandena i Edoms land.
Then went Solomon to Eziongeber, and to Eloth, at the sea side in the land of Edom.
18 Och Hyram sände honom skepp med sina tjenare, som sjöfarne voro; och de foro med Salomos tjenare till Ophir, och hemtade dädan fyrahundrad och femtio centener guld, och förde till Konung Salomo.
And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and took there four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
