2 Chronicles 1
1 Solomon, son of David, strengthened his hold over the kingdom, and the Lord God was with him and made him extremely powerful.
confortatus est ergo Salomon filius David in regno suo et Dominus erat cum eo et magnificavit eum in excelsum
2 Solomon sent for all the Israelite leaders, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every family leader.
praecepitque Salomon universo Israheli tribunis et centurionibus et ducibus et iudicibus omnis Israhel et principibus familiarum
3 Solomon went with the whole assembly to the high place at Gibeon, for this was the site of God's Tent of Meeting that Moses, the Lord's servant, had made in the wilderness.
et abiit cum universa multitudine in excelsum Gabaon ubi erat tabernaculum foederis Dei quod fecit Moses famulus Dei in solitudine
4 David had brought up the Ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the place in Jerusalem where he had set up a tent for it.
arcam autem Dei adduxerat David de Cariathiarim in locum quem paraverat ei et ubi fixerat illi tabernaculum hoc est in Hierusalem
5 However, the bronze altar made by Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, was there in front of the Tent of the Lord, so that is where Solomon and the assembly went to worship.
altare quoque aeneum quod fabricatus fuerat Beselehel filius Uri filii Ur ibi erat coram tabernaculo Domini quod et requisivit Salomon et omnis ecclesia
6 Solomon went up to the bronze altar before the Lord, in front of the Tent of Meeting. There he presented one thousand burnt offerings.
ascenditque Salomon ad altare aeneum coram tabernaculo foederis Domini et obtulit in eo mille hostias
7 That night God appeared to Solomon and told him, “Ask what you want me to give you.”
ecce autem in ipsa nocte apparuit ei Deus dicens postula quod vis ut dem tibi
8 Solomon responded to God, “You showed trustworthy love without limit to my father David, and you have made me king in his place.
dixitque Salomon Deo tu fecisti cum David patre meo misericordiam magnam et constituisti me regem pro eo
9 Lord God, please keep the promise you made to my father David. You have made me king over a nation that has as many people as the dust of the earth.
nunc igitur Domine Deus impleatur sermo tuus quem pollicitus es David patri meo tu enim fecisti me regem super populum tuum multum qui tam innumerabilis est quam pulvis terrae
10 Please give me wisdom and knowledge to lead this people—for who can rule with justice this great people of yours?”
da mihi sapientiam et intellegentiam ut egrediar coram populo tuo et ingrediar quis enim potest hunc populum tuum digne qui tam grandis est iudicare
11 God told Solomon: “Because this is what you really wanted, and you didn't ask for wealth, possessions, or honor, or the death of those who hate you, or for a long life, but instead you asked for wisdom and knowledge so you can rule with justice my people that I have made you king over;
dixit autem Deus ad Salomonem quia hoc magis placuit cordi tuo et non postulasti divitias et substantiam et gloriam neque animas eorum qui te oderunt sed nec dies vitae plurimos petisti autem sapientiam et scientiam ut iudicare possis populum meum super quem constitui te regem
12 wisdom and knowledge is given to you. I will give you wealth, possessions, and honor as well, much more than any king who came before you has had, or who comes after you will ever have.”
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 returned to Jerusalem from the Tent of Meeting in Gibeon, and he ruled over Israel.
venit ergo Salomon ab excelso Gabaon in Hierusalem coram tabernaculo foederis et regnavit super Israhel
14 Solomon built up an army of chariots and horses. He had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he placed in the chariot cities, and also with him in Jerusalem.
congregavitque sibi currus et equites et facti sunt ei mille quadringenti currus et duodecim milia equitum et fecit eos esse in urbibus quadrigarum et cum rege in Hierusalem
15 The king made silver and gold as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar wood as plentiful as sycamore-figs trees in the foothills.
praebuitque rex argentum et aurum in Hierusalem quasi lapides et cedros quasi sycomoros quae nascuntur in campestribus multitudine magna
16 Solomon imported horses for himself from Egypt and Kue; the king's traders bought them in Kue.
adducebantur autem ei et equi de Aegypto et de Coa a negotiatoribus regis qui ibant et coemebant pretio
17 A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred silver shekels, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. In the same way they exported them to all the Hittite kings and the Aramean kings.
quadrigam equorum sescentis argenteis et equum centum quinquaginta similiter de universis regnis Cettheorum et a regibus Syriae emptio celebrabatur
