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, son of David, strengthened himself over his kingdom, —and, Yahweh, his God, was with him, and made him surpassingly great.
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 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;
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
6 Der ofra Salomo for Herrens åsyn på koparaltaret som høyrde til møtetjeldet, og han ofra tusund brennoffer der.
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.
7 I den same natti openberra Gud seg for Salomo og sagde til honom: «Seg kva du vil eg skal gjeva deg!»
During that night, God appeared unto Solomon, —and said unto 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 unto God, Thou thyself, didst deal with David my father in great lovingkindness, —and hast 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 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.
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, 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?
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 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,
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 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.
13 Sidan for Salomo frå offerhaugen i Gibeon, frå staden framanfor møtetjeldet, og til Jerusalem, og han var konge yver Israel.
And Solomon came from the high place that was in Gibeon unto Jerusalem, from before the tent of meeting, —and 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 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.
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 in Jerusalem, like stones, and, cedars, made he like the sycomores 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, an export, out of Egypt, —and a, company of royal merchants, used to fetch a drove, 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 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.
