2 Chronicles 1
1 And Solomon, son of David, strengthened himself over his kingdom, —and, Yahweh, his God, was with him, and made him surpassingly great.
Salomo, Davids Søn, fik sikret sig Magten, og HERREN hans Gud var med ham og gjorde ham overmaade mægtig.
2 And Solomon gave word to all Israel—to the rulers of thousands, and hundreds, and to the judges, and to all the leaders of all Israel, ancestral chiefs;
Da tilsagde Salomo hele Israel, Tusind— og Hundredførerne, Dommerne og alle Israels Øverster, Fædrenehusenes Overhoveder,
3 and Solomon, and all the convocation with him, went to the high place that was in Gibeon, —for, there, was the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of Yahweh made in the desert.
og ledsaget af hele Forsamlingen drog han til Offerhøjen i Gibeon. Der stod Guds Aabenbaringstelt, som HERRENS Tjener Moses havde rejst i Ørkenen,
4 Howbeit, the ark of God, had David brought up from Kiriath-jearim, into the place that David had prepared for it, —for he had pitched for it a tent, in 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 Also, the altar of bronze that Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur had made, was there before the habitation of Yahweh, —so Solomon and the convocation sought 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 thither, unto the altar of bronze before Yahweh, which belonged to the tent of meeting, —and caused to go up thereon a thousand ascending-sacrifices.
Og Salomo ofrede der paa Aabenbaringsteltets Kobberalter, som stod foran HERRENS Aasyn, han ofrede 1000 Brændofre derpaa.
7 During that night, God appeared unto Solomon, —and said unto 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 unto God, Thou thyself, didst deal with David my father in great lovingkindness, —and hast 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 Yahweh Elohim, let thy word with David my father be brought to pass, -for, thou, hast made me king over a people, for multitude like the dust of the earth.
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 Now, wisdom and knowledge, give thou unto me, that I may go out before this people, and may come in, —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 unto Solomon, Because this was near thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, or the life of them that hate thee, nor even, many days, hast thou asked, —but hast asked for thyself, wisdom and knowledge, that thou mayest 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 unto thee, —moreover, riches and wealth and honour, will I give thee, such as the kings who were before thee did not possess, neither shall they who come after thee possess 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 And Solomon came from the high place that was in Gibeon unto Jerusalem, from before the tent of meeting, —and 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 came to have a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, —and he settled them in chariot cities, and with the king, in 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 in Jerusalem, like stones, and, cedars, made he like the sycomores 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, an export, out of Egypt, —and a, company of royal merchants, used to fetch a drove, at a price;
Hestene, Salomo indførte, kom fra Mizrajim og Kove; Kongens Handelsfolk købte dem i Kove.
17 and they built and brought forth 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 Syria, by their means, brought they them forth.
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.
