Anden Krønikebog 1
1 Salomo, Davids Søn, fik sikret sig Magten, og HERREN hans Gud var med ham og gjorde ham overmåde mægtig.
Solomon the son of David was firmly established in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and made him exceedingly great.
2 Da tilsagde Salomo hele Israel, Tusind- og Hundredførerne, Dommerne og alle Israels Øverster, Fædrenehusenes Overhoveder,
Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers’ households.
3 og ledsaget af hele Forsamlingen drog han til Offerhøjen i Gibeon. Der stod Guds Åbenbaringstelt, som HERRENs Tjener Moses havde rejst i Ørkenen,
Then Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for God’s Tent of Meeting was there, which the LORD’s servant Moses had made in the wilderness.
4 men Guds Ark havde David bragt op fra Kijat-Jearim til det Sted, han havde beredt den, idet han havde ladet rejse et Telt til den i Jerusalem.
But David had brought God’s ark up from Kiriath Jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at 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.
Moreover the bronze altar that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made was there before the LORD’s tabernacle; and Solomon and the assembly were seeking counsel there.
6 Og Salomo ofrede der på Åbenbaringsteltets Kobberalter, som stod foran HERRENs Åsyn, han ofrede 1000 Brændofre derpå.
Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the LORD, which was at the Tent of Meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it.
7 Samme Nat lod Gud sig til Syne for Salomo og sagde til ham: "Sig, hvad du ønsker, jeg skal give dig!"
That night, God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask for what you want me to give you.”
8 Da sagde Salomo til Gud: "Du viste stor Miskundhed mod min Fader David, og du har gjort mig til Konge i hans Sted.
Solomon said to God, “You have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his place.
9 Så lad da, Gud HERRE, din Forjæftelse til min Fader David gå i Opfyldelse, thi du har gjort mig til Konge over et Folk, der er talrigt som Jordens Støv.
Now, LORD God, let your promise to David my father be established; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
10 Giv mig derfor Visdom og Indsigt, så jeg kan færdes ret over for dette Folk, thi hvem kan dømme dette dit store Folk?"
Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this great people of yours?”
11 Da sagde Gud til Salomo: "Fordi din Hu står 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,
God said to Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches, wealth, honor, or the life of those who hate you, nor yet have you asked for long life; but have asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge my people, over whom I have made you king,
12 så skal du få Visdom og Indsigt; men jeg giver dig også Rigdom, Gods og Ære, så at ingen Konge før dig har haft Mage dertil. og ingen efter dig skal have det."
therefore wisdom and knowledge is granted to you. I will give you riches, wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before you, and none after you will have.”
13 Derpå begav Salomo sig fra Offerhøjen i Gibeon, fra Pladsen foran Åbenbaringsteltet, til Jerusalem; og han herskede som Konge over Israel.
So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting, to Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel.
14 Salomo anskaffede sig Stridsvogne og Ryttere, og han havde 1400 Vogne og 12000 Ryttere; dem lagde han dels i Vognbyerne, dels hos sig i Jerusalem.
Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen. He had one thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
15 Kongen bragte det dertil, af Sølv og Guld i Jerusalem var lige så almindeligt som Sten, og Cedertræ lige så almindeligt som Morbærfigentræ i Lavlandet.
The king made silver and gold to be as common as stones in Jerusalem, and he made cedars to be as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland.
16 Hestene, Salomo indførte, kom fra Mizrajim og Kove; Kongens Handelsfolk købte dem i Kove.
The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and from Kue. The king’s merchants purchased them from Kue.
17 De udførte en Vogn fra Mizrajim for 600 Sekel Sølv, en Hest for150 Ligeledes udførtes de ved Handelsfolkenes Hjælp til alle Hetiternes og Arams Konger.
They imported from Egypt then exported a chariot for six hundred pieces of silver and a horse for one hundred fifty. They also exported them to the Hittite kings and the Syrian kings.
