Første Kongebog 9
1 Men da Salomo var færdig med at opføre HERRENs Hus og Kongens Palads og alt, hvad han havde fået Lyst til og sat sig for at udføre,
Now it happened that, when Solomon had perfected the building of the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and all that he had desired and had willed to do,
2 lod HERREN sig anden Gang til Syne for ham, som han havde ladet sig til Syne for ham i Gibeon;
the Lord appeared to him a second time, just as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
3 og HERREN sagde til ham: "Jeg har hørt den Bøn og Begæring, du opsendte for mit Åsyn. Jeg har helliget dette Hus, som du har bygget, for der at stedfæste mit Navn til evig Tid, og mine Øjne og mit Hjerte skal være der alle Dage.
And the Lord said to him: “I have heard your prayer and your petition, which you prayed before me. I have sanctified this house, which you have built, so that I may place my name there forever, and so that my eyes and my heart will be there for all days.
4 Hvis du nu vandrer for mit Åsyn som din Fader David i Hjertets Uskyld og i Upriglighed, så du gør alt, hvad jeg har pålagt dig, og holder mine Anordninger og Lovbud,
Also, if you will walk before me, just as your father walked, in simplicity of heart and in equity, and you do all that I have instructed to you, and you keep my laws and my judgments,
5 så vil jeg opretholde din Kongetrone i Israel evindelig, som jeg lovede din Fader David, da jeg sagde: En Efterfølger skal aldrig fattes dig på Israels Trone.
then I will set the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, just as I promised your father David, saying: ‘A man from your stock shall not be taken away from the throne of Israel.’
6 Men hvis I eller eders Børn vender eder bort fra mig og ikke holder mine Bud, mine Annordninger, som jeg har forelagt eder, men går hen og dyrker andre Guder og tilbeder dem
But if you and your sons, wandering, will have turned away, not following me, and not keeping my commandments and my ceremonies, which I have proposed to you, but instead you go away, and you serve strange gods and adore them,
7 så vil jeg udrydde Israel fra det Land, jeg gav dem; og det Hus, jeg har helliget for mit Navn, vil jeg forkaste fra mit Åsyn, og Israel skal blive til Spot og Spe blandt alle Folk,
then I will take away Israel from the face of the land, which I have given to them. And the temple, which I have sanctified to my name, I will cast out from my sight. And Israel will be a proverb and a parable among all the peoples.
8 og dette Hus skal blive en Ruindynge, og enhver, som går der forbi, skal blive slået af Rædsel og give sig til at hånfløjte. Og når man siger: Hvorfor har HERREN handlet således mod dette Land og dette Hus?
And this house will become an example: anyone who passes by it will be stupefied, and he will hiss and say, ‘Why has the Lord acted in this way to this land and to this house?’
9 skal der svares: Fordi de forlod HERREN deres Gud, som førte deres Fædre ud af Ægypten, og holdt sig til andre Guder, tilbad og dyrkede dem; derfor har HERREN bragt al denne Elendighed over dem!"
And they will respond: ‘Because they abandoned the Lord their God, who led their fathers away from the land of Egypt, and they followed strange gods, and they adored them and served them. For this reason, the Lord led all this evil over them.’”
10 Da de tyve År var omme, i hvilke Salomo havde bygget på de to Bygninger, HERRENs Hus og Kongens Palads -
Then, when twenty years were fulfilled, after Solomon had built the two houses, that is, the house of the Lord, and the house of the king,
11 Kong Hiram af Tyrus havde sendt Salomo Cedertræ, Cyprestræ og Guld, så meget han ønskede da gav Kong Salomo Hiram tyve Byer i Landskabet Galilæa.
Hiram, the king of Tyre, having supplied Solomon with cedar wood, and spruce wood, and gold, in accord with all that he needed, then Solomon gave Hiram twenty towns in the land of Galilee.
12 Men da Hiram kom fra Tyrus for at se de Byer, Salomo havde givet ham, syntes han ikke om dem;
And Hiram went out of Tyre, so that he might view the towns that Solomon had given to him. And they did not please him.
13 og han sagde: "Hvad er det for Byer, du har givet mig, Broder?" Derfor kaldte man den Habullandet, som det hedder den Dag i Dag
And he said, “Are these the cities that you have given to me, brother?” And he called them the land of Cabul, even to this day.
14 Men Hiram sendte Kongen 120 Guldtalenter.
And Hiram sent to king Solomon one hundred twenty talents of gold.
15 På følgende Måde hang det sammen med de Hoveriarbejdere, Kong Salomo udskrev til at opføre HERRENs Hus, hans eget Palads, Millo Jerusalems Mur, Hazor, Megiddo og Gezer
This is the sum of the expenses that king Solomon offered for the building of the house of the Lord, and his own house, and for Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
16 Farao, Ægypterkongen, var draget op, havde indtaget Gezer og stukket det i Brand; alle Kanånæere, der boede i Byen, havde han ladet dræbe og derpå givet sin Datter, Salomos Hustru den i Medgift.
Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, ascended and seized Gezer, and he burned it with fire. And he put to death the Canaanite who was living in the city, and he gave it as a dowry for his daughter, the wife of Solomon.
17 Nu genopbyggede Salomo Gezer, Nedre-Bet-Horon,
Therefore, Solomon built up Gezer, and lower Beth-horon,
18 Bålat, Tamar i Ørkenen i Juda Land,
and Baalath, and Palmira in the land of the wilderness.
19 alle Salomos Forrådsbyer, Vognbyerne og Rytterbyerne, og alt andet, som Salomo fik Lyst til at bygge i Jerusalem, i Libanon og i hele sit Rige:
And all the towns which belonged to him, and which were without walls, he walled, along with the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen, and whatever was pleasing to him that he might build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in the entire land of his dominion.
20 Alt, hvad der var tilbage af Amoriterne, Hetiterne, Perizziterne, Hivviterne og Jebusiterne, og som ikke hørte til Israeliterne,
All the people who had remained of the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the sons of Israel,
21 deres Efterkommere, som var tilbage efter dem i Landet, og som Israeliterne ikke havde været i Stand til at lægge Band på, dem udskrev Salomo til Hoveriarbejde, som det er den Dag i Dag.
their sons, who had remained in the land, namely, those whom the sons of Israel had not been able to destroy, Solomon made tributary, even to this day.
22 Af Israeliterne derimod satte Salomo ingen til Arbejde, men de var Krigsfolk og Hoffolk, Hærførere og Høvedsmænd hos, ham og Førere for hans Stridsvogne og Rytteri. -
But from the sons of Israel, Solomon did not appoint anyone at all to serve, except the men of war, and his ministers, and leaders, and commanders, and the overseers of the chariots and the horses.
23 Tallet på Overfogederne, der ledede Arbejdet for Salomo, var 550; de havde Tilsyn med Folkene, der arbejdede.
Now there were five hundred fifty leaders in the first place over all the works of Solomon, and they had people subject to them, and these were given orders for the appointed works.
24 Faraos Datter var lige flyttet fra Davidsbyen ind i det Hus, han havde bygget til hende, da tog han fat på at opføre Millo.
And the daughter of Pharaoh went up from the city of David to her house, which Solomon had built for her. Then he built up Millo.
25 Tre Gange om Året ofrede Salomo Brændofre og Takofre på det Alter, han bavde bygget HERREN, og tændte Offerild for HERRENs Åsyn; og han fuldførte Templet.
Also, three times each year, Solomon offered holocausts and victims of peace offerings, upon the altar that he had built to the Lord, and he burned incense before the Lord. And the temple was perfected.
26 Kong Salomo byggede også Skibe i Ezjongeber, der ligger ved Elat ved det røde Havs Kyst i Edom;
And king Solomon made a navy at Ezion Geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shores of the Red Sea, in the land of Idumea.
27 og Hiram sendte sine Folk, befarne Søfolk, om Bord på Skibene sammen med Salomos Folk.
And Hiram sent his servants to that navy, the sailors and those knowledgeable about the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
28 De sejlede til Ofir, hvor de hen tede 420 Talenter Guld, som de bragte Kong Salomo.
And when they had gone to Ophir, taking from there four hundred twenty talents of gold, they brought it to king Solomon.
