Anden Krønikebog 1
1 Salomo, Davids Søn, fik sikret sig Magten, og HERREN hans Gud var med ham og gjorde ham overmåde mægtig.
Now Solomon son of David established himself securely over his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him and highly exalted him.
2 Da tilsagde Salomo hele Israel, Tusind- og Hundredførerne, Dommerne og alle Israels Øverster, Fædrenehusenes Overhoveder,
Then Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every leader in all Israel—the heads of the families.
3 og ledsaget af hele Forsamlingen drog han til Offerhøjen i Gibeon. Der stod Guds Åbenbaringstelt, som HERRENs Tjener Moses havde rejst i Ørkenen,
And Solomon and the whole assembly went to the high place at Gibeon because it was the location of God’s Tent of Meeting, which Moses the servant of the LORD 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.
Now David had brought the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the place he had prepared for it, because he had pitched a tent for it 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.
But the bronze altar made by Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, was in Gibeon before the tabernacle of the LORD. So Solomon and the assembly inquired of Him there.
6 Og Salomo ofrede der på Åbenbaringsteltets Kobberalter, som stod foran HERRENs Åsyn, han ofrede 1000 Brændofre derpå.
Solomon offered sacrifices there before the LORD on the bronze altar in the Tent of Meeting, where he offered 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!"
That night God appeared to Solomon and said, “Ask, and I will give it to 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 replied to God: “You have shown much loving devotion to my father David, and You 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, O LORD God, let Your promise to my father David be fulfilled. For You have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.
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 grant me wisdom and knowledge, so that I may lead this people. For who is able to govern 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, “Since this was in your heart instead of requesting riches or wealth or glory for yourself or death for your enemies—and since you have not even requested long life but have asked for wisdom and knowledge to govern 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 have been granted to you. And I will also give you riches and wealth and honor unlike anything given to the kings before you or after you.”
13 Derpå begav Salomo sig fra Offerhøjen i Gibeon, fra Pladsen foran Åbenbaringsteltet, til Jerusalem; og han herskede som Konge over Israel.
So Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place in Gibeon before the Tent of Meeting, 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 accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in 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 as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
16 Hestene, Salomo indførte, kom fra Mizrajim og Kove; Kongens Handelsfolk købte dem i Kove.
Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal 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.
A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. Likewise, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram.
