2 Chronicles 1
1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom. And Jehovah his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
Salomo, Davids Søn, fik sikret sig Magten, og HERREN hans Gud var med ham og gjorde ham overmaade mægtig.
2 And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every ruler in all Israel, the heads of the fathers.
Da tilsagde Salomo hele Israel, Tusind— og Hundredførerne, Dommerne og alle Israels Øverster, Fædrenehusenes Overhoveder,
3 So Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon. For the tent of meeting of God was there, which Moses the servant of Jehovah had made in the wilderness.
og ledsaget af hele Forsamlingen drog han til Offerhøjen i Gibeon. Der stod Guds Aabenbaringstelt, som HERRENS Tjener Moses havde rejst i Ørkenen,
4 But the ark of God David had brought up from Kiriath-jearim to the place that David had prepared for it. For he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
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.
5 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 to it.
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.
6 And Solomon went up there to the brazen altar before Jehovah, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
Og Salomo ofrede der paa Aabenbaringsteltets Kobberalter, som stod foran HERRENS Aasyn, han ofrede 1000 Brændofre derpaa.
7 In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give thee.
Samme Nat lod Gud sig til Syne for Salomo og sagde til ham: »Sig, hvad du ønsker, jeg skal give dig!«
8 And Solomon said to God, Thou have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his stead.
Da sagde Salomo til Gud: »Du viste stor Miskundhed mod min Fader David, og du har gjort mig til Konge i hans Sted.
9 Now, O Jehovah God, let thy promise to David my father be established. For thou have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
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.
10 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?
Giv mig derfor Visdom og Indsigt, saa jeg kan færdes ret over for dette Folk, thi hvem kan dømme dette dit store Folk?«
11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou have not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of those who hate thee, neither yet have asked long life, but have asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou may judge my people over whom I have made thee king,
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,
12 wisdom and knowledge are granted to thee. And I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before thee, neither shall any after thee have the like.
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.«
13 So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting, to Jerusalem, and he reigned over Israel.
Derpaa begav Salomo sig fra Offerhøjen i Gibeon, fra Pladsen foran Aabenbaringsteltet, til Jerusalem; og han herskede som Konge over Israel.
14 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.
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.
15 And the king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars he made to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.
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. —
16 And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt. The king's merchants received them in herds, each herd at a price.
Hestene, Salomo indførte, kom fra Mizrajim og Kove; Kongens Handelsfolk købte dem i Kove.
17 And they went after and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. And so they brought them out by their means for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Syria.
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.
