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.
Solomon son of David was strengthened in his rule, and Yahweh his God was with him and made him very powerful.
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.
Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers' houses.
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 there was the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of Yahweh, 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 David had brought up the ark of God from Kiriath Jearim to the place that he had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it in 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.
In addition, the bronze altar made by Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur was there before the tabernacle of Yahweh; Solomon and the assembly went to it.
6 Der ofra Salomo for Herrens åsyn på koparaltaret som høyrde til møtetjeldet, og han ofra tusund brennoffer der.
Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before Yahweh, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it.
7 I den same natti openberra Gud seg for Salomo og sagde til honom: «Seg kva du vil eg skal gjeva deg!»
God appeared to Solomon that night and said to him, “Ask! What should I give you?”
8 Salomo svara Gud: «Du hev vist stor miskunn imot David, far min, og du hev gjort meg til konge i hans stad.
Solomon said to God, “You have shown great covenant faithfulness to David my father, and have made me king in his place.
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, Yahweh God, let your promise to David my father be carried out, for you have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.
10 Gjev meg då visdom og kunnskap, so eg kann vera leidar og førar for folket! for kven evlar døma dette store folket ditt?»
Now give me wisdom and knowledge, so that I may lead this people, for who can judge your people, who are so many in number?”
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,
God said to Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and because you have not asked for riches, wealth, or honor, nor for the life of those who hate you, nor for long life for yourself, but you have asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself, so that you might rule my people, over whom I have made you king, and this is what I will do.
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!»
I will now give you wisdom and knowledge. I will also give you riches, wealth, and honor, as none of the kings had before you, and none after you will have.”
13 Sidan for Salomo frå offerhaugen i Gibeon, frå staden framanfor møtetjeldet, og til Jerusalem, og han var konge yver Israel.
So Solomon came to Jerusalem from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting; 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.
Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen, and he had 1,400 chariots and twelve thousand horsemen that he placed in the chariot cities, and with himself, the king in Jerusalem.
15 Kongen gjorde sylvet og gullet i Jerusalem likso vanlegt som stein, og cedertreet likso vanlegt som morberfiketre i låglandet.
The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as the stones, and he made cedar wood as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowlands.
16 Hestarne sine fekk Salomo frå Egyptarland, med di kjøpmennerne åt kongen kjøpte deim der mot betaling.
As for the importation of horses from Egypt and Kue for Solomon, his merchants bought them from Kue 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.
They imported a chariot from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for 150 shekels. They also exported them to the kings of the Hittites and the Arameans.
