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.
Confortatus est ergo Salomon filius David in regno suo, et Dominus erat cum eo, et magnificavit eum in excelsum.
2 And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to all the princes of all Israel, the chief fathers;
Praecepitque Salomon universo Israeli, tribunis, et centurionibus, et ducibus, et iudicibus omnis Israel, et principibus familiarum:
3 and Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place at Gibeon; for there was God's tent of meeting which Moses the servant of Jehovah had made in the wilderness.
et abiit cum universa multitudine in Excelsum Gabaon, ubi erat tabernaculum foederis Domini, quod fecit Moyses famulus Dei in solitudine.
4 But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-jearim to the [place] that David had prepared for it; for he had spread a tent for it at Jerusalem.
Arcam autem Dei adduxerat David de Cariathiarim in locum, quem praeparaverat ei, et ubi fixerat illi tabernaculum, hoc est, in Ierusalem.
5 And the brazen altar that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of Jehovah; and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.
Altare quoque aeneum, quod fabricatus fuerat Beseleel filius Uri filii Hur, ibi erat coram tabernaculo Domini: quod et requisivit Salomon, et omnis ecclesia.
6 And Solomon offered there upon the brazen altar before Jehovah which was at the tent of meeting; and he offered up a thousand burnt-offerings upon it.
Ascenditque Salomon ad altare aeneum, coram tabernaculo foederis Domini, et obtulit in eo mille hostias.
7 In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give thee.
Ecce autem in ipsa nocte apparuit ei Deus, dicens: Postula quod vis, ut dem tibi.
8 And Solomon said to God, Thou hast shewn unto David my father great loving-kindness, and hast made me king in his stead.
Dixitque Salomon Deo: Tu fecisti cum David patre meo misericordiam magnam: et constituisti me regem pro eo.
9 Now, Jehovah Elohim, let thy word unto David my father be firm; for thou hast made me king over a people numerous as the dust of the earth.
Nunc ergo Domine Deus impleatur sermo tuus, quem pollicitus es David patri meo: tu enim me fecisti regem super populum tuum multum, qui tam innumerabilis est, quam pulvis terrae.
10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this thy great people?
Da mihi sapientiam et intelligentiam, ut ingrediar et egrediar coram populo tuo: quis enim potest hunc populum tuum digne, qui tam grandis est, iudicare?
11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of them that hate thee, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked for thyself wisdom and knowledge, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
Dixit autem Deus ad Salomonem: Quia hoc magis placuit cordi tuo, et non postulasti divitias, et substantiam, et gloriam, neque animas eorum qui te oderant, sed nec dies vitae plurimos: petisti autem sapientiam et scientiam, ut iudicare possis populum meum, super quem constitui te regem.
12 wisdom and knowledge are granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches and wealth and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall any after thee have the like.
Sapientia et scientia data sunt tibi: divitias autem et substantiam et gloriam dabo tibi, ita ut nullus in regibus nec ante te nec post te fuerit similis tui.
13 Then Solomon came back [from] the high place at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tent of meeting, and reigned over Israel.
Venit ergo Salomon ab Excelso Gabaon in Ierusalem coram tabernaculo foederis, et regnavit super Israel.
14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; and he had a thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen; and he placed them in the chariot-cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
Congregavitque sibi currus et equites, et facti sunt ei mille quadringenti currus, et duodecim millia equitum: et fecit eos esse in urbibus quadrigarum, et cum rege in Ierusalem.
15 And the king made silver and gold in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he as the sycamores that are in the lowland for abundance.
Praebuitque rex argentum et aurum in Ierusalem quasi lapides, et cedros quasi sycomoros, quae nascuntur in campestribus multitudine magna.
16 And the exportation of horses that Solomon had was from Egypt: a caravan of the king's merchants fetched a drove [of horses], at a price.
Adducebantur autem ei equi de Aegypto, et de Coa a negotiatoribus regis, qui ibant, et emebant pretio,
17 And they fetched up and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so they brought [them] by their means, for all the kings of the Hittites and for the kings of Syria.
quadrigam equorum sexcentis argenteis, et equum centum quinquaginta: similiter de universis regnis Cethaeorum, et a regibus Syriae emptio celebrabatur.
