2 Chronicles 1

1 AND SOLOMON the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.

Og Salomo, Davids Søn, vandt Magt i sit Rige; og Herren, hans Gud, var med ham og gjorde ham overmaade stor.

2 And Solomon spoke unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers' houses.

Og Salomo gav Befaling til al Israel, til Øversterne over tusinde og hundrede og til Dommerne og til alle Øversterne for al Israel, Øversterne for Fædrenehusene,

3 So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.

og de gik hen, Salomo og hele Forsamlingen med ham, til Højen, som var i Gibeon; thi der var Guds Forsamlings Paulun, hvilket Mose, Herrens Tjener, havde gjort i Ørken.

4 But the ark of God had David 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 David havde ført Guds Ark op fra Kirjath-Jearim til Stedet, som David havde beredt til den; thi han havde opslaaet et Paulun til den i Jerusalem.

5 Moreover the brazen altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, had been put before the tabernacle of the LORD; and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.

Og det Kobberalter, som Bezaleel, en Søn af Uri, Hurs Søn, havde forfærdiget, var sat foran Herrens Tabernakel; og Salomo og Forsamlingen søgte hen til det.

6 And Solomon offered there, upon the brazen altar before the LORD, which was at the tent of meeting, he offered a thousand burnt-offerings upon it.

Og Salomo ofrede for Herrens Ansigt paa Kobberalteret, som var for Forsamlingens Paulun, og han ofrede paa det tusinde Brændofre.

7 In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him: 'Ask what I shall give thee.'

I samme Nat aabenbarede Gud sig for Salomo og sagde til ham: Begær, hvad jeg skal give dig.

8 And Solomon said unto God: 'Thou hast shown great kindness unto David my father, and hast made me king in his stead.

Og Salomo sagde til Gud: Du har gjort stor Miskundhed imod David, min Fader, og gjort mig til Konge i hans Sted.

9 Now, O LORD God, let Thy promise unto David my father be established; for Thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.

Lad nu, Herre, Gud! dit Ord til min Fader David blive Sandhed; thi du har gjort mig til Konge over et Folk, som er talrigt som Støv paa Jorden.

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 nu Visdom og Kundskab, at jeg kan gaa ud og gaa ind for dette Folk; thi hvo kan ellers dømme dette dit store Folk?

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 wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge My people, over whom I have made thee king;

Da sagde Gud til Salomo: Efterdi dette var i dit Hjerte, at du ikke har begæret Rigdom, Gods og Ære, eller deres Liv, som hade dig, og end ikke har begæret et langt Liv, men begæret dig Visdom og Kundskab, at du kan dømme mit Folk, over hvilket jeg har gjort dig til Konge:

12 wisdom and knowledge is 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 there any after thee have the like.'

Saa være Visdom og Kundskab givet dig; tilmed vil jeg give dig Rigdom og Gods og Ære, saadant som de Konger, der have været før dig, ikke have haft, og som ingen efter dig skal have.

13 So Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting, unto Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel.

Og Salomo kom til Jerusalem fra Højen, som var i Gibeon, fra Forsamlingens Paulun, og regerede 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.

Og Salomo samlede Vogne og Ryttere, og han havde tusinde og fire Hundrede Vogne og tolv Tusinde Ryttere; og han lod dem blive i Vognstæderne og hos Kongen i Jerusalem.

15 And the king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore-trees that are in the Lowland, for abundance.

Og Kongen gjorde Sølvet og Guldet i Jerusalem som Stenene, og Cedertræerne gjorde han som Morbærtræerne, der ere i Lavlandet i Mangfoldighed.

16 And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; also out of Keve, the king's merchants buying them of the men of Keve at a price.

Og Udførselen af Heste skete for Salomo fra Ægypten; og en Skare af Kongens Købmænd hentede en Skare for rede Penge.

17 And they fetched up, and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Aram, did they bring them out by their means.

Og de droge op og udførte fra Ægypten en Vogn for seks Hundrede Sekel Sølv, og en Hest for hundrede og halvtredsindstyve; og saaledes førte de dem ud til alle Hethithernes Konger og til Kongerne i Syrien ved egen Haand.
