Første Krønikebog 22

1 Da sagde David: "Her skal Gud HERRENs Hus stå, her skal Israels Brændofferalter stå!"

And David said, “This is the house of God, and this is the altar for the holocaust of Israel.”

2 David bød så, at man skulde samle alle de fremmede, som boede i Israels Land, og han satte Stenhuggere til at tilhugge Kvadersten til Opførelsen af Guds Hus;

And he instructed them to gather all the new converts from the land of Israel. And from these he appointed stoneworkers, to hew stones and to polish them, so that he might build the house of God.

3 fremdeles anskaffede David Jern i Mængde til Nagler på Portfløjene og til Kramper, en umådelig Mængde Kobber

Also, David prepared very much iron to use for the nails of the gates, and for the seams and joints, as well as an immeasurable weight of brass.

4 og talløse Cederbjælker, idet Zidonierne og Tyrierne bragte David Cederbjælker i Mængde.

Also, the cedar trees, which the Sidonians and Tyrians had transported to David, were not able to be counted.

5 Thi David tænkte: "Min Søn Salomo er ung og uudviklet, men Huset, som skal bygges HERREN, skal være stort og mægtigt, for at det kan vinde Navnkundighed og Ry i alle Lande; jeg vil træffe Forberedelser for ham." Og David traf store Forberedelser, før han døde.

And David said: “My son Solomon is a young and tender boy. But the house that I desire to be built to the Lord ought to be so great that it is renowned in every region. Therefore, I will prepare what will be necessary for him.” And for this reason, before his death, he prepared all the expenses.

6 Derpå lod han sin Søn Salomo kalde og bød ham bygge HERREN, Israels Gud, et Hus.

And he called for Solomon, his son. And he instructed him to build a house to the Lord, the God of Israel.

7 Og David sagde til Salomo: "Min Søn! Jeg havde selv i Sinde at bygge HERREN min Guds Navn et Hus;

And David said to Solomon: “My son, it was my will that I build a house to the name of the Lord my God.

8 men da kom HERRENs Ord til mig således: Du har udgydt meget Blod og ført store brige; du må ikke bygge mit Navn et Hus, thi du har udgydt meget Blod på Jorden for mit Åsyn.

But the word of the Lord came to me, saying: ‘You have shed much blood, and you have battled in many wars. You are not able to build a house to my name, so great was the shedding of blood before me.

9 Se, en Søn skal fødes dig; han skal være en Fredens Mand, og jeg vil skaffe ham Fred for alle hans Fjender rundt om; thi hans Navn skal være Salomo, og jeg vil give Israel Fred og Ro i hans Dage.

The son who shall be born to you will be a very quiet man. For I will cause him to have rest from all his enemies on every side. And for this reason, he shall be called Peaceful. And I will grant peace and tranquility to Israel during all his days.

10 Han skal bygge mit Navn et Hus; og han skal være mig en Søn, og jeg vil være ham en Fader, og jeg vil grundfæste hans Kongedømmes Trone over Israel til evig Tid!

He shall build a house to my name. And he shall be a son to me, and I will be a father to him. And I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel unto eternity.’

11 Så være da HERREN med dig, min Søn, at du må få Lykke til at bygge HERREN din Guds Hus, således som han har forjættet om dig.

Now then, my son, may the Lord be with you, and may you prosper and build a house to the Lord your God, just as he has spoken concerning you.

12 Måtte HERREN kun give dig Forstand og Indsigt, så han kan sætte dig over Israel og du kan holde HERREN din Guds Lov!

Also, may the Lord give you prudence and understanding, so that you may be able to rule Israel and to guard the law of the Lord your God.

13 Så vil det gå dig vel når du nøje holder Anordningerne og Lovbudene, som HERREN bød Moses at pålægge Israel. Vær frimodig og stærk, frygt ikke og tab ikke Modet!

For then you will be able to advance, if you keep the commandments and judgments that the Lord instructed Moses to teach to Israel. Be strengthened and act manfully. You should not fear, and you should not dread.

14 Se, med stor Møje har jeg til HERRENs Hus tilvejebragt 100.000 Talenter Guld og en Million Talenter Sølv og desuden Kobber og Jern, som ikke er til at veje, så meget er der; dertil har jeg tilvejebragt Bjælker og Sten; og du skal sørge for flere.

Behold, in my poverty I have prepared the expenses for the house of the Lord: one hundred thousand talents of gold, and one million of talents of silver. Yet truly, there is no measuring the brass and the iron. For their magnitude is beyond numbering. And I have prepared the timber and the stones for the entire project.

15 En Mængde Arbejdere står til din Rådighed, Stenhuggere, Murere, Tømrere og alle Slags Folk, der forstår sig på Arbejder af enhver Art.

Also, you have very many artisans: stoneworkers, and builders of walls, and craftsmen of wood, and those most prudent in doing the work of every art,

16 Af Guld, Sølv, Kobber og Jern er der umådelige Mængder til Stede - så tag da fat, og HERREN være med dig!"

with gold and silver, and with brass and iron, of which there is no number. Therefore, rise up and act. And the Lord will be with you.”

17 Og David bød alle Israels Øverster hjælpe hans Søn Salomo og sagde:

Also, David instructed all the leaders of Israel, so that they would assist his son Solomon,

18 "Er HERREN eders Gud ikke med eder, har han ikke skaffet eder Ro til alle Sider? Han har jo givet Landets Indbyggere i min Hånd, og Landet er underlagt HERREN og hans Folk;

saying: “You discern that the Lord your God is with you, and that he has given you rest on all sides, and that he has delivered all your enemies into your hands, and that the land has been subdued before the Lord and before his people.

19 så giv da eders Hjerter og Sjæle hen til at søge HERREN eders Gud og tag fat på at bygge Gud HERRENs Helligdom, så at HERRENs Pagts Ark og Guds hellige Ting kan føres ind i Huset, der skal bygges HERRENS Navn."

Therefore, offer your hearts and your souls, so that you seek the Lord your God. And rise up and build a sanctuary to the Lord God, so that the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the vessels consecrated to the Lord, may be brought into the house that is built to the name of the Lord.”
