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.
Salomo, son åt David, vart grunnfest i kongedømet sitt, og Herren hans Gud, var med honom, og gjorde honom overlag 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.
Då let Salomo bod fara yver heile Israel, til hovdingarne yver tusund og yver hundrad, til domarane og til alle hovdingarne i Israel, ættarhovdingarne.
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 Salomo og heile lyden drog til offerhaugen i Gibeon. For der stod Guds møtetjeld, det som Moses, Herrens tenar, hadde gjort i øydemarki.
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 Guds kista hadde David flutt upp ifrå Kirjat-Jearim til den staden han hadde laga til åt henne, for han hadde late reisa eit tjeld åt henne 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 koparaltaret som Besalel hadde gjort, son åt Uri, son åt Hur, det stod der framanfor Herrens hus, og der søkte Salomo og lyden honom.
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.
Der ofra Salomo for Herrens åsyn på koparaltaret som høyrde til møtetjeldet, og han ofra tusund brennoffer der.
7 In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him: 'Ask what I shall give thee.'
I den same natti openberra Gud seg for Salomo og sagde til honom: «Seg kva du vil eg skal gjeva deg!»
8 And Solomon said unto God: 'Thou hast shown great kindness unto David my father, and hast made me king in his stead.
Salomo svara Gud: «Du hev vist stor miskunn imot David, far min, og du hev gjort meg til konge i hans stad.
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.
So lat då, Herre Gud, ordet ditt til David, far min sannast! for du hev gjort meg til konge yver eit folk som er mangment som dusti på jordi.
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?'
Gjev meg då visdom og kunnskap, so eg kann vera leidar og førar for folket! for kven evlar døma dette store folket ditt?»
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;
Då sagde Gud til Salomo: «For di hugen din hev stade til dette, og du ikkje hev bede um rikdom, skattar, æra, eller at uvenerne dine skal døy, og heller ikkje hev bede um eit langt liv, men um visdom og kunnskap til å døma folket mitt, som eg hev gjort deg til konge yver,
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.'
so skal du få den visdom og kunnskap, men eg gjev deg rikdom og skattar og æra og, so at ingen konge fyre deg hev ått maken, og ingen skal heller eiga maken etter deg!»
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.
Sidan for Salomo frå offerhaugen i Gibeon, frå staden framanfor møtetjeldet, og til Jerusalem, og han var konge yver 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 samla krigsvogner og folk, so at han hadde fjortan hundrad vogner og tolv tusund hestfolk, og dei lagde han, sume i vognbyarne og sume hjå seg sjølv 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.
Kongen gjorde sylvet og gullet i Jerusalem likso vanlegt som stein, og cedertreet likso vanlegt som morberfiketre i låglandet.
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.
Hestarne sine fekk Salomo frå Egyptarland, med di kjøpmennerne åt kongen kjøpte deim der mot betaling.
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.
Dei førde ut ei vogn frå Egyptarland for seks hundrad sylvdalar og ein hest for hundrad og femti. Og ved deira hjelp førde dei ut slike på same måten til alle hetitarkongarne og til syrarkongarne.
