Det skjedde etter tjue år, da Salomo hadde bygd Herrens hus og sitt eget hus,

It happened at the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the house of Yahweh, and his own house,

at byene som Huram hadde gitt Salomo, bygde Salomo opp, og han lot Israels barn bo der.

that the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.

Salomo dro til Hamat-Soba og beseiret det.

Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, and prevailed against it.

Han bygde Tadmor i ørkenen og alle lagerbyene som han bygde i Hamat.

He built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store-cities, which he built in Hamath.

Han bygde også det øvre Bet-Horon og det nedre Bet-Horon, befestede byer med murer, porter og bommer.

Also he built Beth Horon the upper, and Beth Horon the lower, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars;

Og Ba'alat, og alle lagerbyene som Salomo hadde, og alle byene for hans vogner, og byene for hans ryttere, og alt det Salomo ønsket å bygge for sitt fornøyelse i Jerusalem, i Libanon, og i hele det landet han hersket over.

and Baalath, and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

Hva angår alle de folk som var igjen av hetittene, amorittene, perisittene, hevittene, og jebusittene, som ikke var av Israel;

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

av deres barn som var igjen etter dem i landet, som Israels barn ikke hadde utryddet, gjorde Salomo dem til pliktarbeidere til denne dag.

of their children who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel didn't consume, of them did Solomon raise a levy [of bondservants] to this day.

Men av Israels barn gjorde Salomo ingen til sine tjenere; de var krigere, og kommandanter for hans styrker, og overordnede for hans vogner og ryttere.

But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.

Dette var de øverste blant kong Salomos tjenestemenn, to hundre og femti, som hersket over folket.

These were the chief officers of king Solomon, even two hundred fifty, who ruled over the people.

Salomo førte opp faraos datter fra Davids by til det huset han hadde bygd for henne; for han sa: Min kone skal ikke bo i Davids, Israels konges, hus, fordi det er et hellig sted, hvor Herrens ark har kommet.

Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David to the house that he had built for her; for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, whereunto the ark of Yahweh has come.

Da ofret Salomo brennoffer til Herren på Herrens alter, som han hadde bygd foran forhallen,

Then Solomon offered burnt-offerings to Yahweh on the altar of Yahweh, which he had built before the porch,

slik dagens plikt krevde, å ofre i henhold til Moses' befaling, på sabbatene, ved ny månedene, og ved festene, tre ganger i året, nemlig i de usyrede brøds fest, i ukefesten, og i løvhyttefesten.

even as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts, three times in the year, [even] in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tents.

Han organiserte etter forskriften til David, hans far, prestene i deres inndelinger til deres tjenester, og levittene til deres oppgaver, for å lovprise og tjene foran prestene, slik dagens plikt krevde; også portvaktene etter deres inndelinger ved hver port: for slik hadde David, Guds mann, befalt.

He appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the divisions of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their offices, to praise, and to minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required; the doorkeepers also by their divisions at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded.

De vek ikke fra kongens befaling til prestene og levittene angående noen sak, eller angående skattene.

They didn't depart from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.

Nå var alt arbeidet som Salomo gjorde, ferdig fra dagen grunnsteinen ble lagt til Herrens hus, og inntil det var fullført. Herrens hus ble da fullført.

Now all the work of Solomon was prepared to the day of the foundation of the house of Yahweh, and until it was finished. [So] the house of Yahweh was completed.

Da dro Salomo til Esjongeber, og til Elot, ved kysten i Edom-landet.

Then went Solomon to Ezion Geber, and to Eloth, on the seashore in the land of Edom.

Huram sendte med sine tjenere skip, og tjenere som hadde kunnskap om sjøen; de dro sammen med Salomos tjenere til Ofir, og hentet derfra fire hundre og femti talenter gull, og brakte dem til kong Salomo.

Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants who had knowledge of the sea; and they came with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and fetched from there four hundred fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
