2 Chronicles 8
1 Solomon’s [workers] worked for 20 years to build the temple and the king’s palace.
Und es geschah am Ende von zwanzig Jahren, während welcher Salomo das Haus Jehovas und sein Haus gebaut hatte,
2 Then his [workers] rebuilt the cities that [King] Hiram had given back to Solomon, and Solomon sent Israelis to live in those cities.
da baute Salomo die Städte aus, welche Huram dem Salomo gegeben hatte; und er ließ die Kinder Israel daselbst wohnen.
3 Solomon’s [army] then went to Hamath-Zobah [town] and captured it.
Und Salomo zog nach Hamath-Zoba und überwältigte es.
4 His workers also rebuilt walls around Tadmor [town] in the desert, and in [the] Hamath [region] in all the towns where they kept supplies.
Und er baute Tadmor in der Wüste und alle Vorratsstädte, die er in Hamath baute.
5 They rebuilt Upper Beth-Horon [town] and Lower Beth-Horon [city], and built walls around them with gates [in the walls] and bars [to fasten the gates].
Und er baute Ober-Beth-Horon und Unter-Beth-Horon, feste Städte mit Mauern, Toren und Riegeln;
6 They also rebuilt Baalath [town] and all the cities where supplies were kept and the cities where Solomon’s chariots and horses were kept. Solomon’s [workers] built whatever he wanted them to build, in Jerusalem and in Lebanon, and in other places in the area that he ruled.
und Baalath und alle Vorratsstädte, die Salomo hatte; und alle Wagenstädte und die Reiterstädte; und alles, was Salomo Lust hatte zu bauen in Jerusalem und auf dem Libanon und im ganzen Lande seiner Herrschaft.
7 Solomon forced people from many other groups who were not Israelis to work for him like slaves. They were people from the Heth, Amor, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups.
Alles Volk, das übriggeblieben war von den Hethitern und den Amoritern und den Perisitern und den Hewitern und den Jebusitern, die nicht von Israel waren:
8 They were descendants of groups whom the Israelis had not completely destroyed. Solomon forced them to become his slaves, and they are still slaves.
ihre Söhne, die nach ihnen im Lande übriggeblieben waren, welche die Kinder Israel nicht vertilgt hatten, die hob Salomo zu Fronarbeitern aus bis auf diesen Tag.
9 But Solomon did not force Israelis to work for him. Israelis became his soldiers and commanders of his chariots and his chariot-drivers.
Aber aus den Kindern Israel machte Salomo keine Sklaven für seine Arbeit; sondern sie waren Kriegsleute und Oberste seiner Anführer und Oberste seiner Wagen und seiner Reiter.
10 They were also King Solomon’s chief officials. There were 250 of them, and they supervised the workers.
Und dies sind die Oberaufseher, welche der König Salomo hatte: zweihundertfünfzig, die über das Volk walteten.
11 Solomon moved his wife, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt, from [the place outside Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’ to the place that his workers had built for her. He said, “I do not want my wife to live in the palace that [my father] King David’s workers built, because the Sacred Chest [was in that palace for a while], and any place where the Sacred Chest has been is holy.”
Und Salomo führte die Tochter des Pharao aus der Stadt Davids herauf in das Haus, das er ihr gebaut hatte; denn er sprach: Mein Weib soll nicht in dem Hause Davids, des Königs von Israel, wohnen; denn die Orte sind heilig, in welche die Lade Jehovas gekommen ist.
12 On the altar that Solomon’s [workers] had built in front of the entrance [to the temple], Solomon sacrificed many offerings that were to be completely burned.
Damals opferte Salomo dem Jehova Brandopfer auf dem Altar Jehovas, den er vor der Halle gebaut hatte,
13 He did that to obey the rules about what sacrifices Moses had declared should be made. These included sacrifices for every day and for the Sabbath days and to celebrate each day on which there was a new moon and for the three other festivals that were celebrated each year. Those festivals were the Festival of Eating Unleavened Bread, the Harvest Festival, and the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters.
und zwar nach der täglichen Gebühr, indem er nach dem Gebot Moses opferte an den Sabbathen und an den Neumonden, und an den Festen dreimal im Jahre: am Feste der ungesäuerten Brote und am Feste der Wochen und am Feste der Laubhütten.
14 Obeying what his father David had commanded, he appointed the groups of priests for their work, and he appointed the descendants of Levi to lead the people while they sang to praise Yahweh and while they assisted the priests in their daily work. He also appointed groups of them to guard all the gates, because that was also what David, the man who pleased God [very well], had commanded.
Und er bestellte nach der Vorschrift seines Vaters David die Abteilungen der Priester zu ihrem Dienste; und die Leviten zu ihren Ämtern, um zu loben und zu dienen vor den Priestern, nach der täglichen Gebühr; und die Torhüter in ihren Abteilungen für jedes Tor; denn also war das Gebot Davids, des Mannes Gottes.
15 The priests and other descendants of Levi obeyed completely everything that the king commanded, including [taking care of] the storerooms.
Und man wich nicht von dem Gebot des Königs an die Priester und die Leviten ab betreffs jeder Sache und betreffs der Schätze. -
16 They did all the work [of building the temple] that Solomon told them to do, until it was all completed. So they finishing building the temple.
Und so wurde das ganze Werk Salomos zustande gebracht, bis zum Tage der Gründung des Hauses Jehovas und bis zur Vollendung desselben. Das Haus Jehovas war fertig.
17 Then some of Solomon’s men went to Ezion-Geber and Elath [cities] on the coast of the Red Sea, an area that belonged to the Edom people-group.
Damals ging Salomo nach Ezjon-Geber und nach Eloth, am Ufer des Meeres im Lande Edom.
18 King Hiram sent to Solomon from [Tyre city] some ships that were commanded by his officers. They were men who were experienced sailors. These men went in the ships with Solomon’s men to [the] Ophir [region] and brought back about 17 tons of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
Und Huram sandte ihm durch seine Knechte Schiffe und Knechte, die des Meeres kundig waren. Und sie kamen mit den Knechten Salomos nach Ophir und holten von dort vierhundertfünfzig Talente Gold und brachten es zu dem König Salomo.
