2 Chronicles 1
1 And he strengthened himself Solomon [the] son of David over kingdom his and Yahweh God his [was] with him and he made great him upwards.
Salomo putra Raja Daud telah menjadi raja yang kuat kedudukannya di dalam kerajaan Israel. TUHAN Allahnya memberkati dia dan menjadikan dia sangat berkuasa.
2 And he spoke Solomon to all Israel to [the] commanders of the thousands and the hundreds and to the judges and to every leader of all Israel [the] heads of the fathers.
Semua kepala pasukan 1.000 dan pasukan 100, semua pejabat pemerintah, dan semua kepala keluarga Israel diperintahkan oleh Raja Salomo
3 And they went Solomon and all the assembly with him to the high place which [was] at Gibeon for there it was [the] tent of meeting of God which he had made Moses [the] servant of Yahweh in the wilderness.
untuk pergi dengan dia ke tempat ibadat di Gibeon. Mereka pergi ke sana, karena di situlah terdapat Kemah TUHAN yang dibuat oleh Musa hamba TUHAN sewaktu di padang gurun.
4 But [the] ark of God he had brought up David from Kiriath Jearim in where he had prepared for it David for he had pitched for it a tent in Jerusalem.
(Tetapi Peti Perjanjian TUHAN berada di Yerusalem di dalam kemah yang dipasang oleh Raja Daud untuk Peti itu ketika ia memindahkannya dari Kiryat-Yearim.)
5 And [the] altar of bronze which he had made Bezalel [the] son of Uri [the] son of Hur he had put before [the] tabernacle of Yahweh and he sought it Solomon and the assembly.
Mezbah perunggu yang dibuat oleh Bezaleel anak Uri, cucu Hur, juga terdapat di Gibeon di depan Kemah TUHAN. Raja Salomo dan seluruh rakyat beribadat kepada TUHAN di sana.
6 And he went up Solomon there to [the] altar of bronze before Yahweh which [was] to [the] tent of meeting and he offered up on it burnt offerings a thousand.
Di depan Kemah itu raja mempersembahkan di atas mezbah perunggu 1.000 binatang sebagai kurban bakaran bagi TUHAN.
7 In the night that he appeared God to Solomon and he said to him ask what? will I give to you.
Malam itu Allah menampakkan diri kepada Salomo dan berkata, "Salomo, mintalah apa yang kauinginkan, itu akan Kuberikan kepadamu!"
8 And he said Solomon to God you you have done with David father my covenant loyalty great and you have made king me in place of him.
Salomo menjawab, "Ya Allah, Engkau sudah menunjukkan bahwa Engkau sangat mengasihi ayahku Daud, dan Engkau telah mengangkat aku menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
9 Now O Yahweh God let it be established word your with David father my for you you have made king me over a people numerous like [the] dust of the earth.
Sekarang, ya TUHAN Allah, semoga Engkau menepati janji-Mu kepada ayahku. Engkau telah mengangkat aku menjadi raja atas bangsa besar ini yang tak terhitung jumlahnya.
10 Now wisdom and knowledge give to me so let me go out before the people this so I may come for who? will he judge people your this great.
Karena itu berikanlah kiranya kepadaku kebijaksanaan dan pengetahuan yang kuperlukan untuk memimpin mereka. Kalau tidak demikian, bagaimana mungkin aku dapat memerintah umat-Mu yang besar ini?"
11 And he said God - to Solomon because that it was this with heart your and not you have asked for wealth riches and honor and [the] life of [those who] hate you and also days many not you have asked for and you have asked for for yourself wisdom and knowledge that you will judge people my which I have made king you over it.
Jawab Allah kepada Salomo, "Permintaanmu itu baik. Engkau tidak minta kekayaan atau harta atau kemasyhuran atau kematian musuh-musuhmu atau umur panjang untuk dirimu sendiri, melainkan kebijaksanaan dan pengetahuan untuk memerintah umat-Ku yang Kupercayakan kepadamu.
12 The wisdom and the knowledge [is] given to you and wealth and riches and honor I will give to you which - not it belonged thus to the kings who [were] before you and after you not it will be thus.
Sebab itu kebijaksanaan dan pengetahuan akan Kuberikan kepadamu. Selain itu Aku akan menjadikan engkau lebih makmur, lebih kaya dan lebih masyhur daripada raja yang mana pun juga baik pada masa lalu maupun pada masa yang akan datang."
13 And he went Solomon to the high place which [was] at Gibeon Jerusalem from to before [the] tent of meeting and he reigned over Israel.
Kemudian Salomo meninggalkan tempat ibadah di Gibeon di mana terdapat Kemah TUHAN, lalu kembali ke Yerusalem. Dari situ ia menjalankan pemerintahan atas Israel.
14 And he gathered Solomon chariot[s] and warhorses and it belonged to him one thousand and four hundred chariot[s] and two [plus] ten thousand warhorses and he placed them in [the] cities of chariotry and with the king in Jerusalem.
Ia melengkapi angkatan perangnya dengan 1.400 kereta perang dan 12.000 kuda perang. Sebagian ditempatkannya di Yerusalem, dan selebihnya di berbagai kota lain.
15 And he made the king silver and gold in Jerusalem like stones and cedars he made like the sycamores which [are] in the Shephelah for abundance.
Dalam zaman pemerintahan Salomo, emas dan perak merupakan barang biasa di Yerusalem, sama seperti batu; dan kayu cemara Libanon banyak sekali seperti kayu ara biasa.
16 And [the] export of the horses which [belonged] to Solomon [was] from Egypt and from Que [the] traders of the king from Que they took [them] for a price.
Melalui pedagang-pedagang yang membantu raja, kuda diimpor dari Mesir dan Kewe,
17 And they brought up and they brought out from Egypt a chariot for six hundred silver and a horse for fifty and one hundred and thus to all [the] kings of the Hittites and [the] kings of Aram by hand their they brought [them] out.
dan kereta-kereta perang diimpor dari Mesir, kemudian diekspor lagi kepada raja-raja Het dan raja-raja Siria dengan harga 150 uang perak untuk satu ekor kuda, dan 600 uang perak untuk satu kereta perang.
