Anden Krønikebog 1
1 Salomo, Davids Søn, fik sikret sig Magten, og HERREN hans Gud var med ham og gjorde ham overmaade mægtig.
And strengthen himself doth Solomon son of David over his kingdom, and Jehovah his God [is] with him, and maketh him exceedingly great.
2 Da tilsagde Salomo hele Israel, Tusind— og Hundredførerne, Dommerne og alle Israels Øverster, Fædrenehusenes Overhoveder,
And Solomon saith to all Israel, to heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, and to judges, and to every honourable one of all Israel, heads of the fathers,
3 og ledsaget af hele Forsamlingen drog han til Offerhøjen i Gibeon. Der stod Guds Aabenbaringstelt, som HERRENS Tjener Moses havde rejst i Ørkenen,
and they go — Solomon, and all the assembly with him — to the high place that [is] in Gibeon, for there hath been God's tent of meeting, that Moses, servant of Jehovah, made in the wilderness,
4 men Guds Ark havde David bragt op fra Kirjat-Jearim til det Sted, han havde beredt den, idet han havde ladet rejse et Telt til den i Jerusalem.
but the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-Jearim, when David prepared for it, for he stretched out for it a tent in Jerusalem;
5 Men Kobberalteret, som Bezal'el, en Søn af Hurs Søn Uri, havde lavet, stod der foran HERRENS Bolig, og der søgte Salomo og Forsamlingen ham.
and the altar of brass that Bezaleel son of Uri, son of Hur made, he put before the tabernacle of Jehovah; and Solomon and the assembly seek to it.
6 Og Salomo ofrede der paa Aabenbaringsteltets Kobberalter, som stod foran HERRENS Aasyn, han ofrede 1000 Brændofre derpaa.
And Solomon goeth up thither, on the altar of brass, before Jehovah, that [is] at the tent of meeting, and causeth to ascend upon it a thousand burnt-offerings.
7 Samme Nat lod Gud sig til Syne for Salomo og sagde til ham: »Sig, hvad du ønsker, jeg skal give dig!«
In that night hath God appeared to Solomon, and saith to him, 'Ask — what do I give to thee?'
8 Da sagde Salomo til Gud: »Du viste stor Miskundhed mod min Fader David, og du har gjort mig til Konge i hans Sted.
And Solomon saith to God, 'Thou hast done with David my father great kindness, and hast caused me to reign in his stead.
9 Saa lad da, Gud HERRE, din Forjættelse til min Fader David gaa i Opfyldelse, thi du har gjort mig til Konge over et Folk, der er talrigt som Jordens Støv.
Now, O Jehovah God, is Thy word with David my father stedfast, for Thou hast caused me to reign over a people numerous as the dust of the earth;
10 Giv mig derfor Visdom og Indsigt, saa jeg kan færdes ret over for dette Folk, thi hvem kan dømme dette dit store Folk?«
now, wisdom and knowledge give to me, and I go out before this people, and I come in, for who doth judge this Thy great people?'
11 Da sagde Gud til Salomo: »Fordi din Hu staar til dette, og du ikke bad om Rigdom, Gods og Ære eller om dine Avindsmænds Liv, ej heller om et langt Liv, men om Visdom og Indsigt til at dømme mit Folk, som jeg gjorde dig til Konge over,
And God saith to Solomon, 'Because that this hath been with thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, and honour, and the life of those hating thee, and also many days hast not asked, and dost ask for thyself wisdom and knowledge, so that thou dost judge My people over which I have caused thee to reign —
12 saa skal du faa Visdom og Indsigt; men jeg giver dig ogsaa Rigdom, Gods og Ære, saa at ingen Konge før dig har haft Mage dertil, og ingen efter dig skal have det.«
the wisdom and the knowledge is given to thee, and riches and wealth and honour I give to thee, that there hath not been so to the kings who [are] before thee, and after thee it is not so.'
13 Derpaa begav Salomo sig fra Offerhøjen i Gibeon, fra Pladsen foran Aabenbaringsteltet, til Jerusalem; og han herskede som Konge over Israel.
And Solomon cometh in [from] the high place that [is] in Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tent of meeting, and reigneth over Israel,
14 Salomo anskaffede sig Stridsvogne og Ryttere, og han havde 1400 Vogne og 12 000 Ryttere; dem lagde han dels i Vognbyerne, dels hos sig i Jerusalem.
and Solomon gathereth chariots and horsemen, and he hath a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he placeth them in the cities of the chariots, and with the king in Jerusalem.
15 Kongen bragte det dertil, at Sølv og Guld i Jerusalem var lige saa almindeligt som Sten, og Cedertræ lige saa almindeligt som Morbærfigentræ i Lavlandet. —
And the king maketh the silver and the gold in Jerusalem as stones, and the cedars he made as sycamores that [are] in the low country, for abundance.
16 Hestene, Salomo indførte, kom fra Mizrajim og Kove; Kongens Handelsfolk købte dem i Kove.
And the source of the horses that [are] to Solomon [is] from Egypt and from Keva; merchants of the king from Keva take at a price,
17 De udførte en Vogn fra Mizrajim for 600 Sekel Sølv, en Hest for 150. Ligeledes udførtes de ved Handelsfolkenes Hjælp til alle Hetiternes og Arams Konger.
and they come up, and bring out from Egypt a chariot for six hundred silverlings, and a horse for fifty and a hundred, and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Aram — by their hand they bring out.
