¹It happened, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of Yahweh, and the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he was pleased to do,

¹Men 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,

²that Yahweh appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.

²lod HERREN sig anden Gang til Syne for ham, som han havde ladet sig til Syne for ham i Gibeon;

³Yahweh said to him, “I have heard your prayer and your supplication, that you have made before me. I have made this house holy, which you have built, to put my name there forever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.

³og 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.

⁴As for you, if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances;

⁴Hvis 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,

⁵then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, according as I promised to David your father, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man on the throne of Israel.’

⁵så 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.

⁶But if you turn away from following me, you or your children, and not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;

⁶Men 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

⁷then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

⁷så 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,

⁸Though this house is so high, yet shall everyone who passes by it be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, ‘Why has Yahweh done thus to this land, and to this house?’

⁸og 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?

⁹and they shall answer, ‘Because they forsook Yahweh their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold of other gods, and worshiped them, and served them. Therefore Yahweh has brought all this evil on them.’”

⁹skal 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!"

¹⁰It happened at the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the two houses, the house of Yahweh and the king’s house

¹⁰Da de tyve År var omme, i hvilke Salomo havde bygget på de to Bygninger, HERRENs Hus og Kongens Palads -

¹¹(now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire), that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

¹¹Kong Hiram af Tyrus havde sendt Salomo Cedertræ, Cyprestræ og Guld, så meget han ønskede da gav Kong Salomo Hiram tyve Byer i Landskabet Galilæa.

¹²Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they didn’t please him.

¹²Men da Hiram kom fra Tyrus for at se de Byer, Salomo havde givet ham, syntes han ikke om dem;

¹³He said, “What cities are these which you have given me, my brother?” He called them the land of Cabul to this day.

¹³og han sagde: "Hvad er det for Byer, du har givet mig, Broder?" Derfor kaldte man den Habullandet, som det hedder den Dag i Dag

¹⁴Hiram sent to the king one hundred twenty talents of gold.

¹⁴Men Hiram sendte Kongen 120 Guldtalenter.

¹⁵This is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised, to build the house of Yahweh, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.

¹⁵På 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

¹⁶Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites who lived in the city, and given it for a portion to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.

¹⁶Farao, 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.

¹⁷Solomon built Gezer, and Beth Horon the lower,

¹⁷Nu genopbyggede Salomo Gezer, Nedre-Bet-Horon,

¹⁸and Baalath, and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land,

¹⁸Bålat, Tamar i Ørkenen i Juda Land,

¹⁹and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

¹⁹alle Salomos Forrådsbyer, Vognbyerne og Rytterbyerne, og alt andet, som Salomo fik Lyst til at bygge i Jerusalem, i Libanon og i hele sit Rige:

²⁰As for all the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel;

²⁰Alt, hvad der var tilbage af Amoriterne, Hetiterne, Perizziterne, Hivviterne og Jebusiterne, og som ikke hørte til Israeliterne,

²¹their children who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy, of them Solomon raised a levy of bondservants to this day.

²¹deres 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.

²²But of the children of Israel Solomon made no bondservants; but they were the men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.

²²Af 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. -

²³These were the chief officers who were over Solomon’s work, five hundred fifty, who bore rule over the people who labored in the work.

²³Tallet på Overfogederne, der ledede Arbejdet for Salomo, var 550; de havde Tilsyn med Folkene, der arbejdede.

²⁴But Pharaoh’s daughter came up out of the city of David to her house which Solomon had built for her: then he built Millo.

²⁴Faraos Datter var lige flyttet fra Davidsbyen ind i det Hus, han havde bygget til hende, da tog han fat på at opføre Millo.

²⁵Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he built to Yahweh three times a year, burning incense with them, on the altar that was before Yahweh. So he finished the house.

²⁵Tre 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.

²⁶King Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion Geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds , in the land of Edom.

²⁶Kong Salomo byggede også Skibe i Ezjongeber, der ligger ved Elat ved det røde Havs Kyst i Edom;

²⁷Hiram sent in the navy his servants, sailors who had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.

²⁷og Hiram sendte sine Folk, befarne Søfolk, om Bord på Skibene sammen med Salomos Folk.

²⁸They came to Ophir, and fetched from there gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.

²⁸De sejlede til Ofir, hvor de hen tede 420 Talenter Guld, som de bragte Kong Salomo.
