Første Kongebog 8

² Så samledes alle Israels Mænd hos Kong Salomo på Højtiden i Etanim Måned, det er den syvende Måned.

² All the men of Israel assembled themselves to King Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

⁴ Og de bragte HERRENs Ark op tillige med Åbenbaringsteltet og alle de hellige Ting, der var i Teltet; Præsterne og Leviterne bragte dem op.

⁴ They brought up the ark of the Lord and the tent of meeting and all the holy utensils, which were in the tent, and the priests and the Levites brought them up.

⁶ Så førte Præsterne HERRENs Pagts Ark ind på dens Plads i Templets Inderhal, det Allerhelligste, og stillede den under Kerubernes Vinger;

⁶ Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim.

⁸ Stængerne var så lange, at Enderne af dem kunde ses fra det Hellige foran Inderhallen, men de kunde ikke ses længere ude; og de er der den Dag i Dag.

⁸ But the poles were so long that the ends of the poles could be seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen outside; they are there to this day.

¹⁰ Da Præsterne derpå gik ud af Helligdommen, fyldte Skyen HERRENs Hus,

¹⁰ It happened that when the priests came from the holy place, the cloud filled the house of the Lord,

¹² Ved den Lejlighed sang Salomo: HERREN satte Solen på Himlen, men selv, har han sagt, vil han bo i Mulmet.

¹² Then Solomon said,“The Lord has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud.

¹⁴ Derpå vendte Kongen sig om og velsignede hele Israels Forsamling, der imens stod op;

¹⁴ Then the king faced about and blessed all the assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing.

¹⁶ Fra den Dag jeg førte mit Folk Israel ud af Ægypten, har jeg ikke udvalgt nogen By i nogen af Israels Stammer for der at bygge et Hus til Bolig for mit Navn; men Jerusalem udvalgte jeg til Bolig for mit Navn, og David udvalgte jeg til at herske over mit Folk Israel.

¹⁶ ‘Since the day that I brought My people Israel from Egypt, I did not choose a city out of all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house that My name might be there, but I chose David to be over My people Israel.’

¹⁸ men HERREN sagde til min Fader David: At du har i Sinde at bygge mit Navn et Hus, er ret af dig;

¹⁸ But the Lord said to my father David, ‘Because it was in your heart to build a house for My name, you did well that it was in your heart.

²⁰ Nu har HERREN opfyldt det Ord, han talede, og jeg er trådt i min Fader Davids Sted og sidder på Israels Trone, som HERREN sagde, og jeg har bygget HERRENs, Israels Guds, Navn Huset;

²⁰ Now the Lord has fulfilled His word which He spoke; for I have risen in place of my father David and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised, and have built the house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

²² Derpå trådte Salomo frem foran HERRENs Alter lige over for hele Israels Forsamling, udbredte sine Hænder mod Himmelen

²² Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the assembly of Israel and spread out his hands toward heaven.

²⁴ du, som har holdt, hvad du lovede din Tjener, min Fader David, og i Dag opfyldt med din Hånd, hvad du talede med din Mund.

²⁴ who have kept with Your servant, my father David, that which You have promised him; indeed, You have spoken with Your mouth and have fulfilled it with Your hand as it is this day.

²⁶ Så lad nu, HERRE, Israels Gud, det Ord opfyldes, som du tilsagde din Tjener, min Fader David!

²⁶ Now therefore, O God of Israel, let Your word, I pray, be confirmed which You have spoken to Your servant, my father David.

²⁸ Men vend dig til din Tjeners Bøn og Begæring, HERRE min Gud, så du hører det Råb og den Bøn, din Tjener i Dag opsender for dit Åsyn;

²⁸ Yet have regard to the prayer of Your servant and to his supplication, O Lord my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which Your servant prays before You today;

³⁰ Og hør den Bøn, din Tjener og dit Folk Israel opsender, vendt mod dette Sted; du høre den der, hvor du bor, i Himmelen, du høre og tilgive!

³⁰ Listen to the supplication of Your servant and of Your people Israel, when they pray toward this place; hear in heaven Your dwelling place; hear and forgive.

³² så høre du det i Himmelen og gøre det og dømme dine Tjenere imellem, så du kender den skyldige skyldig og lader hans Gerning komme over hans Hoved og frikender den uskyldige og gør med ham efter hans Uskyld!

³² then hear in heaven and act and judge Your servants, condemning the wicked by bringing his way on his own head and justifying the righteous by giving him according to his righteousness.

³⁴ så høre du det i Himmelen og tilgive dit Folk Israels Synd og føre dem tilbage til det Land, du gav deres Fædre!

³⁴ then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them back to the land which You gave to their fathers.

³⁶ så høre du det i Himmelen og tilgive din Tjeners og dit Folk Israels Synd, ja du vise dem den gode Vej, de skal vandre, og lade det regne i dit Land, som du gav dit Folk i Eje!

³⁶ then hear in heaven and forgive the sin of Your servants and of Your people Israel, indeed, teach them the good way in which they should walk. And send rain on Your land, which You have given Your people for an inheritance.

³⁸ enhver Bøn, enhver Begæring, hvem den end kommer fra i hele dit Folk Israel, når de føler sig truffet i deres Samvittighed og udbreder Hænderne mod dette Hus,

³⁸ whatever prayer or supplication is made by any man or by all Your people Israel, each knowing the affliction of his own heart, and spreading his hands toward this house;

⁴⁰ for at de må frygte dig, al den Tid de lever på den Jord, du gav vore Fædre.

⁴⁰ that they may fear You all the days that they live in the land which You have given to our fathers.

⁴² thi man vil høre om dit store Navn, din stærke Hånd og din udstrakte Arm - når han kommer og beder, vendt mod dette Hus,

⁴² (for they will hear of Your great name and Your mighty hand, and of Your outstretched arm); when he comes and prays toward this house,

⁴⁴ Når dit Folk drager i Krig mod sin Fjende, hvor du end sender dem hen, og de beder til HERREN, vendt mod den By, du har udvalgt, og det Hus, jeg har bygget dit Navn,

⁴⁴ “When Your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way You shall send them, and they pray to the Lord toward the city which You have chosen and the house which I have built for Your name,

⁴⁶ Når de synder imod dig thi der er intet Menneske, som ikke synder - og du vredes på dem og giver dem i Fjendens Magt, og Sejrherrerne fører dem fangne til Fjendens Land, det være sig fjernt eller nær,

⁴⁶ “When they sin against You (for there is no man who does not sin) and You are angry with them and deliver them to an enemy, so that they take them away captive to the land of the enemy, far off or near;

⁴⁸ når de omvender sig til dig af hele deres Hjerte og af hele deres Sjæl i deres Fjenders Land, som de bortførtes til, og de beder til dig, vendt mod deres Land, som du gav deres fædre, mod den By, du har udvalgt, og det Hus, jeg har bygget dit Navn

⁴⁸ if they return to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who have taken them captive, and pray to You toward their land which You have given to their fathers, the city which You have chosen, and the house which I have built for Your name;

⁵⁰ og du tilgive dit Folk, hvad de syndede imod dig, alle de Overtrædelser, hvori de gjorde sig skyldige imod dig, og lade dem finde Barmhjertighed hos Sejrherrerne, så de forbarmer sig over dem;

⁵⁰ and forgive Your people who have sinned against You and all their transgressions which they have transgressed against You, and make them objects of compassion before those who have taken them captive, that they may have compassion on them

⁵² Lad dine Øjne være åbne for din Tjeners og dit Folk Israels Begæring, så du hører dem, hver Gang de råber til dig.

⁵² that Your eyes may be open to the supplication of Your servant and to the supplication of Your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they call to You.

⁵⁴ Da Salomo var færdig med hele denne Bøn og Begæring til HERREN rejste han sig fra Pladsen foran HERRENs Alter, hvor han havde ligget på Knæ med Hænderne udbredt mod Himmelen.

⁵⁴ When Solomon had finished praying this entire prayer and supplication to the Lord, he arose from before the altar of the Lord, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread toward heaven.

⁵⁶ "Lovet være HERREN, der har givet sit Folk Israel Hvile, ganske som han talede, uden at et eneste Ord er faldet til Jorden af alle de herlige Forjættelser, han udtalte ved sin Tjener Moses.

⁵⁶ “Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised; not one word has failed of all His good promise, which He promised through Moses His servant.

⁵⁸ at vort Hjerte må drages til ham, så vi vandrer på alle hans Veje og holder hans Bud, Anordninger og Lovbud, som han pålagde vøre Fædre!

⁵⁸ that He may incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances, which He commanded our fathers.

⁶⁰ for at alle Jordens Folk må kende, at HERREN og ingen anden er Gud.

⁶⁰ so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord is God; there is no one else.

⁶² Kongen ofrede nu sammen med hele Israel Slagtofre for HERRENs Åsyn.

⁶² Now the king and all Israel with him offered sacrifice before the Lord.

⁶⁴ Samme Dag helligede Kongen den mellemste Del af Forgården foran HERRENs Hus, thi der måtte han ofre Brændofrene, Afgrødeofrene og Fedtstykkerne af Takofrene, da Kobberalteret foran HERRENs Åsyn var for lille til at rumme Ofrene.

⁶⁴ On the same day the king consecrated the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord, because there he offered the burnt offering and the grain offering and the fat of the peace offerings; for the bronze altar that was before the Lord was too small to hold the burnt offering and the grain offering and the fat of the peace offerings.

⁶⁶ Ottendedagen lod han Folket gå, og de velsignede Kongen og drog hver til sit, glade og vel til Mode over al den Godhed, HERREN havde vist sin Tjener David og sit Folk Israel. 

⁶⁶ On the eighth day he sent the people away and they blessed the king. Then they went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the Lord had shown to David His servant and to Israel His people.
