1When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great train, and camels that bore spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him of all that was in her heart.
1Da Dronningen af Saba hørte Salomos Ry, kom hun, for at prøve ham med Gåder, til Jerusalem med et såre stort Følge og med Kameler, der har Røgelse, Guld i Mængde og Ædelsten. Og da hun var kommet til Salomo, talte hun til ham om alt, hvad der lå hende på Hjerte.
2Solomon told her all her questions; and there was not anything hidden from Solomon which he didn’t tell her.
2Men Salomo svarede på alle hendes Spørgsmål, og intet som helst var skjult for Salomo, han gav hende Svar på alt.
3When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
3Og da Dronningen at Saba så Salomos Visdom, Huset, han havde bygget,
4and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their clothing, his cup bearers also, and their clothing, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of Yahweh; there was no more spirit in her.
4Maden på hans Bord, hans Folks Boliger, hans Tjeneres Optræden og deres Klæder, hans Mundskænke og deres Klæder og Brændofrene, han ofrede i HERRENs Hus, var hun ude af sig selv;
5She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts, and of your wisdom.
5og hun sagde til Kongen: "Sandt var, hvad jeg i mit Land hørte sige om dig og din Visdom!
6However I didn’t believe their words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it; and behold, the half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me: you exceed the fame that I heard.
6Jeg troede ikke, hvad der sagdes, før jeg kom og så det med egne Øjne; og se, ikke engang det halve af din store Visdom er mig fortalt, thi du overgår, hvad Rygtet sagde mig om dig!
7Happy are your men, and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you, and hear your wisdom.
7Lykkelige dine Mænd, lykkelige dine Folk, som altid er om dig og hører din Visdom!
8Blessed be Yahweh your God, who delighted in you, to set you on his throne, to be king for Yahweh your God: because your God loved Israel, to establish them forever, therefore made he you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.”
8Lovet være HERREN din Gud, som fandt Behag i dig og satte dig på sin Trone som Konge for HERREN din Gud. Fordi din Gud elsker Israel og for at opretholde det evindeligt, satte han dig til Konge over dem, til at øve Ret og Retfærdighed!"
9She gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
9Derpå gav hun Kongen 120 Guldtalenter, Røgelse i store Mængder og Ædelsten; og aldrig har der siden været så megen Røgelse i Landet som den, Dronningen af Saba gav Kong Salomo.
10The servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.
10Desuden bragte Hurams og Salomos Folk, som hentede Guld i Ofir, Algummimtræ og Ædelsten;
11The king made of the algum trees terraces for the house of Yahweh, and for the king’s house, and harps and stringed instruments for the singers: and there were none like these seen before in the land of Judah.
11og af Algummimtræet lod Kongen lave Rækværk til HERRENs Hus og Kongens Palads, desuden Citre og Harper til Sangerne; og Mage dertil var ikke tidligere set i Judas Land.
12King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides that which she had brought to the king. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.
12Og Kong Salomo gav Dronningen af Saba alt, hvad hun ønskede og bad om, langt ud over hvad hun bragte til Kongen. Derpå vendte hun med sit Følge tilbage til sit Land.
13Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
13Vægten af det Guld, som i eet År indførtes af Salomo, udgjorde 666 Guldtalenter,
14besides that which the traders and merchants brought: and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
14deri ikke medregnet hvad der indkom i Afgift fra de undertvungne Folk og ved Købmændenes Handel og fra alle Arabiens Konger og Landets Statholdere, som bragte Salomo Guld og Sølv.
15King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one buckler.
15Kong Salomo lod hamre 200 Guldskjolde, hvert på 600 Sekel Guld,
16He made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
16og 300 mindre Guldskjolde, hvert på 300 Sekel Guld; dem lod Kongen henlægge i Libanonskovhuset.
17Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
17Fremdeles lod Kongen lave en stor, Elfenbenstrone, overtrukket mned lutret Guld.
18And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays.
18Tronen havde seks Trin, og på dens Ryg var der et Latn af Guld; på begge Sider af Sædet var der Arme, og ved Armene stod der to Løver;
19Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps: there was nothing like it made in any kingdom.
19tillige stod der tolv Løver på de seks Trin, seks på hver Side. Der er ikke lavet Mage til Trone i noget andet Rige.
20All king Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: silver was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
20Alle Kong Salomos Drikkekar var af Guld og alle Redskaber i Libanonskovhuset af fint Guld; Sølv regnedes ikke for noget i Kong Salomos Dage.
21For the king had ships that went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram; once every three years came the ships of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
21Kongen havde nemlig Skibe, det sejlede på Tarsis med Hurams Folk; og een Gang hverttredje År kom Tarsisskibene, ladet med Guld, Sølv, Elfenben, Aber og Påfugle.
22So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
22Kong Salomo overgik alle Jordens Konger i Rigdom og Visdom.
23All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
23Alle Jordens Konger søgte hen til Salomo for at høre den Visdom, Gud havde lagt i hans Hjerte;
24They brought every man his tribute, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing, armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
24og alle bragte de Gaver med: Sølv- og Guldsager, Klæder, Våben, Røgelse, Heste og Muldyr; således gik det År efter År.
25Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he stationed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
25Salomo havde 4000 Spand Heste og Vogne og 12000 Ryttere; dem lagde han dels i Vognbyerne, dels hos sig i Jerusalem.
26He ruled over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
26Han herskede over alle Konger fra Floden til Filisternes Land og Ægyptens Grænse.
27The king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.
27Kongen bragte det dertil, at Sølv i Jerusalem var lige så almindeligt som Sten, og Cedertræ lige så almindeligt som Morbærfigentræ i Lavlandet.
28They brought horses for Solomon out of Egypt, and out of all lands.
28Der indførtes Heste til Salomo fra Mizrajim og fra alle Lande.
29Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, aren’t they written in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
29Salomos øvrige Historie fra først til sidst findes optegnet i Profeten Natans Krønike, Siloniten Ahijas Profeti og Seeren Jedos Syn om Jeroboam, Nebats Søn.
30Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
30Salomo herskede i Jerusalem over hele Israel i fyrretyve År.
31Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
31Derpå lagde Salomo sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre og blev jordet i sin Fader Davids By. Og hans Søn Rehabeam blev Konge i hans Sted.
