2 Krönikeboken 8
1 Och efter tjugu år, i hvilkom Salomo Herrans hus, och sitt hus byggde;
It came about at the end of twenty years, during which Solomon had built the house of Yahweh and his own house,
2 Byggde han ock de städer, som Hyram gaf Salomo, och lät Israels barn bo deruti.
that Solomon rebuilt the towns that Hiram had given to him, and he settled the people of Israel in them.
3 Och Salomo drog till HamathZoba, och gjorde det fast;
Solomon attacked Hamathzobah and defeated it.
4 Och byggde Thadmor i öknene, och alla kornstäder, som han byggde i Hamath.
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 Beth Horon the Upper and Beth Horon the Lower, cities fortified 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.
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.
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 who were left of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who did not belong to 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.
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.
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.
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.
10 Och de öfverste Konung Salomos befallningsmän voro tuhundrad och femtio, som öfver folket rådde.
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.
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.
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.”
12 Sedan offrade Salomo Herranom bränneoffer på Herrans altare, som han byggt hade för förhuset;
Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to Yahweh on his altar that he had built in front of the portico.
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.
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.
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.
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.
15 Och man vek icke ifrå Konungens bud, om Presterna och Leviterna, i någrahanda ärende och håfvor.
These people did not deviate from the commands of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the storerooms.
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.
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.
17 Så drog Salomo till EzionGeber, och till Eloth, vid hafsstrandena i Edoms land.
Then Solomon went to Ezion Geber and then to Elath on the coast, 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.
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.
