< Anden Krønikebog 1 >
1 Salomo, Davids Søn, fik sikret sig Magten, og HERREN hans Gud var med ham og gjorde ham overmåde mægtig.
Then Salomon the sonne of Dauid was confirmed in his kingdome: and the Lord his God was with him, and magnified him highly.
2 Da tilsagde Salomo hele Israel, Tusind- og Hundredførerne, Dommerne og alle Israels Øverster, Fædrenehusenes Overhoveder,
And Salomon spake vnto all Israel, to the captaines of thousandes, and of hundreths, and to the iudges, and to all the gouernours in all Israel, euen the chiefe fathers.
3 og ledsaget af hele Forsamlingen drog han til Offerhøjen i Gibeon. Der stod Guds Åbenbaringstelt, som HERRENs Tjener Moses havde rejst i Ørkenen,
So Salomon and all the Congregation with him went to the hie place that was at Gibeon: for there was the Tabernacle of the Congregation of God which Moses the seruant of the Lord had made in the wildernesse.
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 the Arke of God had Dauid brought vp from Kiriath-iearim, when Dauid had made preparation for it: for he had pitched a tent for it in Ierusalem.
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.
Moreouer the brasen altar that Bezaleel the sonne of Vri, the sonne of Hur had made, did hee set before the Tabernacle of the Lord: and Salomon and the Congregation sought it.
6 Og Salomo ofrede der på Åbenbaringsteltets Kobberalter, som stod foran HERRENs Åsyn, han ofrede 1000 Brændofre derpå.
And Salomon offred there before the Lord vpon the brasen altar that was in the Tabernacle of the Congregation: euen a thousand burnt offrings offred he vpon it.
7 Samme Nat lod Gud sig til Syne for Salomo og sagde til ham: "Sig, hvad du ønsker, jeg skal give dig!"
The same night did God appeare vnto Salomon, and sayde vnto him, Aske what I shall giue 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 Salomon sayde vnto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy vnto Dauid my father and hast made me to reigne in his stead.
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.
Nowe therefore, O Lord God, let thy promise vnto Dauid my father be true: for thou hast made mee King ouer a great people, like to 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?"
Giue me now wisdome and knowledge, that I may go out and go in before this people: for who can iudge this thy great people?
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,
And God sayde to Salomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, treasures nor honour, nor the liues of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life, but hast asked for thee wisdome and knowledge that thou mightest iudge my people, ouer whome I haue made thee 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."
Wisdome and knowledge is granted vnto thee, and I will giue thee riches and treasures and honour, so that there hath not bene the like among the Kings which were before thee, neither after thee shall there be the like.
13 Derpå begav Salomo sig fra Offerhøjen i Gibeon, fra Pladsen foran Åbenbaringsteltet, til Jerusalem; og han herskede som Konge over Israel.
Then Salomon came from the hie place, that was at Gibeon, to Ierusalem from before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and reigned ouer 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.
And Salomon gathered the charets and horesemen: and he had a thousand and foure hundreth charets, and twelue thousande horsemen, whome he placed in the charet cities, and with the King at Ierusalem.
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.
And the King gaue siluer and gold at Ierusalem as stones, and gaue cedar trees as the wilde figge trees, that are abundantly in the playne.
16 Hestene, Salomo indførte, kom fra Mizrajim og Kove; Kongens Handelsfolk købte dem i Kove.
Also Salomon had horses brought out of Egypt and fine linen: the Kings marchants receiued the fine linen for a price.
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 came vp also and brought out of Egypt some charet, worth sixe hundreth shekels of siluer, that is an horse for an hundreth and fiftie: and thus they brought horses to all the Kings of the Hittites, and to the Kings of Aram by their meanes.
