Anden Krønikebog 1
1 Og Salomo, Davids Søn, vandt Magt i sit Rige; og Herren, hans Gud, var med ham og gjorde ham overmaade stor.
And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and Jehovah his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
2 Og Salomo gav Befaling til al Israel, til Øversterne over tusinde og hundrede og til Dommerne og til alle Øversterne for al Israel, Øversterne for Fædrenehusene,
And Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers’ [houses].
3 og de gik hen, Salomo og hele Forsamlingen med ham, til Højen, som var i Gibeon; thi der var Guds Forsamlings Paulun, hvilket Mose, Herrens Tjener, havde gjort i Ørken.
So Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of Jehovah had made in the wilderness.
4 Men David havde ført Guds Ark op fra Kirjath-Jearim til Stedet, som David havde beredt til den; thi han havde opslaaet et Paulun til den i Jerusalem.
But the ark of God had David brought up from Kiriath-jearim to [the place] that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
5 Og det Kobberalter, som Bezaleel, en Søn af Uri, Hurs Søn, havde forfærdiget, var sat foran Herrens Tabernakel; og Salomo og Forsamlingen søgte hen til det.
Moreover the brazen altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of Jehovah: and Solomon and the assembly sought unto it.
6 Og Salomo ofrede for Herrens Ansigt paa Kobberalteret, som var for Forsamlingens Paulun, og han ofrede paa det tusinde Brændofre.
And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar before Jehovah, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt-offerings upon it.
7 I samme Nat aabenbarede Gud sig for Salomo og sagde til ham: Begær, hvad jeg skal give dig.
In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.
8 Og Salomo sagde til Gud: Du har gjort stor Miskundhed imod David, min Fader, og gjort mig til Konge i hans Sted.
And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast showed great lovingkindness unto David my father, and hast made me king in his stead.
9 Lad nu, Herre, Gud! dit Ord til min Fader David blive Sandhed; thi du har gjort mig til Konge over et Folk, som er talrigt som Støv paa Jorden.
Now, O Jehovah God, let thy promise unto David my father be established; for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
10 Giv mig nu Visdom og Kundskab, at jeg kan gaa ud og gaa ind for dette Folk; thi hvo kan ellers dømme dette dit store Folk?
Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?
11 Da sagde Gud til Salomo: Efterdi dette var i dit Hjerte, at du ikke har begæret Rigdom, Gods og Ære, eller deres Liv, som hade dig, og end ikke har begæret et langt Liv, men begæret dig Visdom og Kundskab, at du kan dømme mit Folk, over hvilket jeg har gjort dig til Konge:
And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of them that hate thee, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
12 Saa være Visdom og Kundskab givet dig; tilmed vil jeg give dig Rigdom og Gods og Ære, saadant som de Konger, der have været før dig, ikke have haft, og som ingen efter dig skal have.
wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee; neither shall there any after thee have the like.
13 Og Salomo kom til Jerusalem fra Højen, som var i Gibeon, fra Forsamlingens Paulun, og regerede over Israel.
So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting, unto Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel.
14 Og Salomo samlede Vogne og Ryttere, og han havde tusinde og fire Hundrede Vogne og tolv Tusinde Ryttere; og han lod dem blive i Vognstæderne og hos Kongen i Jerusalem.
And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
15 Og Kongen gjorde Sølvet og Guldet i Jerusalem som Stenene, og Cedertræerne gjorde han som Morbærtræerne, der ere i Lavlandet i Mangfoldighed.
And the king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore-trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.
16 Og Udførselen af Heste skete for Salomo fra Ægypten; og en Skare af Kongens Købmænd hentede en Skare for rede Penge.
And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; the king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price.
17 Og de droge op og udførte fra Ægypten en Vogn for seks Hundrede Sekel Sølv, og en Hest for hundrede og halvtredsindstyve; og saaledes førte de dem ud til alle Hethithernes Konger og til Kongerne i Syrien ved egen Haand.
And they fetched up and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means.
