2 Krønikebok 1
1 Salomo, son åt David, vart grunnfest i kongedømet sitt, og Herren hans Gud, var med honom, og gjorde honom overlag stor.
And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom. And Jehovah his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
2 Då let Salomo bod fara yver heile Israel, til hovdingarne yver tusund og yver hundrad, til domarane og til alle hovdingarne i Israel, ættarhovdingarne.
And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every ruler in all Israel, the heads of the fathers.
3 Og Salomo og heile lyden drog til offerhaugen i Gibeon. For der stod Guds møtetjeld, det som Moses, Herrens tenar, hadde gjort i øydemarki.
So Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon. For the tent of meeting of God was there, which Moses the servant of Jehovah had made in the wilderness.
4 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.
But the ark of God David had brought up from Kiriath-jearim to the place that David had prepared for it. For he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
5 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.
Moreover the brazen altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of Jehovah. And Solomon and the assembly sought to it.
6 Der ofra Salomo for Herrens åsyn på koparaltaret som høyrde til møtetjeldet, og han ofra tusund brennoffer der.
And Solomon went up there to the brazen altar before Jehovah, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
7 I den same natti openberra Gud seg for Salomo og sagde til honom: «Seg kva du vil eg skal gjeva deg!»
In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give thee.
8 Salomo svara Gud: «Du hev vist stor miskunn imot David, far min, og du hev gjort meg til konge i hans stad.
And Solomon said to God, Thou have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his stead.
9 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.
Now, O Jehovah God, let thy promise to David my father be established. For thou have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
10 Gjev meg då visdom og kunnskap, so eg kann vera leidar og førar for folket! for kven evlar døma dette store folket ditt?»
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?
11 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,
And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou have not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of those who hate thee, neither yet have asked long life, but have asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou may judge my people over whom I have made thee king,
12 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!»
wisdom and knowledge are granted to thee. And I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before thee, neither shall any after thee have the like.
13 Sidan for Salomo frå offerhaugen i Gibeon, frå staden framanfor møtetjeldet, og til Jerusalem, og han var konge yver Israel.
So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting, to Jerusalem, and he reigned over Israel.
14 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.
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.
15 Kongen gjorde sylvet og gullet i Jerusalem likso vanlegt som stein, og cedertreet likso vanlegt som morberfiketre i låglandet.
And the king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars he made to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.
16 Hestarne sine fekk Salomo frå Egyptarland, med di kjøpmennerne åt kongen kjøpte deim der mot betaling.
And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt. The king's merchants received them in herds, each herd at a price.
17 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.
And they went after and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. And so they brought them out by their means for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Syria.
