Вторая книга Паралипоменон 1
1 И укрепися Соломон сын Давидов на царстве своем, и Господь Бог его (бе) с ним и возвеличи его в высоту.
David’s son [King] Solomon was able to gain complete control over his kingdom, because Yahweh his God helped him and enabled him to become very powerful.
2 И рече Соломон ко всему Израилю, тысящником и сотником, и судиям и всем началником пред Израилем.
[When] David [was king, he had arranged for a new] Sacred Tent [to be] made in Jerusalem. Then David [and the Israeli leaders] had brought God’s Sacred Chest from Kiriath-Jearim [city] to the new Sacred Tent in Jerusalem that he had prepared for it. But [when Solomon became the king, ] the first Sacred Tent was still at Gibeon [city]. That was the tent that Moses, the man who served God [well], had [arranged to be] made in the desert. And the bronze altar that Bezalel, the son of Uri and grandson of Hur, had made was also still in Gibeon, in front of the first Sacred Tent. [One day] Solomon summoned the army commanders of 1,000 soldiers and the commanders of 100 soldiers and the judges and all the other leaders in Israel. He told them to go with him to Gibeon. So they all went to a hill in Gibeon [where the Sacred Tent was], and Solomon and all the others with him worshiped Yahweh there.
3 И иде Соломон и все множество в вышний Гаваон, идеже бе скиния свидения Божия, юже сотвори Моисей раб Божий в пустыни.
4 Кивот же Господень принесе Давид от Града Кариафиарима на место, еже уготова ему Давид, яко водрузи ему скинию во Иерусалиме.
5 И олтарь медян, егоже содела Веселеил сын Урии сына Орова, ту бе пред скиниею Господнею и взыска его Соломон и вся церковь.
6 Вознесе же ту Соломон на олтари медянем пред Господем, иже в скинии свидения, и принесе на нем тысящу всесожжений.
Then Solomon went up to the bronze altar in front of the Sacred Tent, and he offered 1,000 animals to be [killed and] completely burned [on the altar].
7 В ту нощь явися Господь Соломону и рече ему: проси (что хощеши) да дам тебе.
That night God appeared to Solomon [in a dream] and said to him, “Request whatever you want me to give to you.”
8 Рече же Соломон к Богу: Ты сотворил еси с Давидом отцем моим милосердие велико и поставил мя еси царя вместо его:
Solomon replied, “You were very kind to David my father, and now you have appointed me to be the king to succeed him.
9 и ныне, Господи Боже, да исполнится слово Твое к Давиду отцу моему, Ты бо мене сотворил царя над людьми многими, якоже прах земный:
So Yahweh my God, you have caused me to become the king to rule people who are as many as the particles of dirt on the earth. So do what you promised my father David.
10 ныне даждь мне премудрость и разум, да вниду и изыду пред людьми твоими сими, кто бо может судити сих людий Твоих многих?
Please enable me to be wise and to know [what I should do], in order that I may rule these people [well], because there is no one who can rule all this great nation of yours [without your help].”
11 И рече Бог к Соломону: понеже бысть сие в сердцы твоем, и не попросил еси богатства имений, ниже славы, ниже душ противящихся тебе, и дний многих не просил еси, но просил еси себе премудрости и разума, да судити можеши люди Моя, над нимиже поставих тя царя,
God replied, “[I am pleased with what] you desire; you have not requested a huge amount of money or to be honored or that your enemies be killed. And you have not requested that you live for a long time. Instead, you have requested that [I enable] you [to] be wise and [to] know [what you should do] in order that you may govern [well] my people whom I have appointed you to rule.
12 премудрость и разум даю тебе, богатство же и имения и славу дам тебе, яко не бысть в царех преждебывших тебе подобен тебе, и по тебе такожде не будет.
Therefore I will enable you to be wise and to know [what you should do to rule my people well]. But I will also enable you to have a huge amount of money and to be honored, more than anyone who was previously a king ever was honored, more than anyone who later becomes king will be honored.”
13 Прииде же Соломон от вышняго Гаваона во Иерусалим пред скинию свидения и царствова над Израилем.
Then Solomon [and the people who were with him all] left from being in front of he Sacred Tent [on the hill in Gibeon], and they returned to Jerusalem. From there he ruled the Israeli people.
14 И собра Соломон колесницы и конники, и быша ему тысяща и четыреста колесниц и дванадесять тысящ конник: и остави их во градех колесничных, людие же с царем во Иерусалиме.
Solomon acquired 1,400 chariots and 12,000 men who rode [on horses]. He put some of the chariots and horses in Jerusalem, and put some of them in various other cities.
15 И положи царь сребро и злато во Иерусалиме яко камение, кедры же во Иудеи яко черничие, еже на поли во множестве.
During the years that Solomon was king, silver and gold were as common in Jerusalem as stones, and [lumber from] cedar trees were as plentiful as [lumber from] ordinary sycamore trees in the foothills.
16 Исхождение же коней Соломоновых из Египта ценою купцов царских, иже хождаху и куповаху.
Solomon’s horses were imported/brought from Egypt and from [the] Kue [region in Turkey].
17 И восхождаху и привождаху из Египта колесницу едину за шесть сот сребреник, и коня за сто и пятьдесят сребреник: такожде и от всех царств Хеттейских и от царей Сирийских рукама их приводима бываху.
In Egypt his men paid 15 pounds of silver for each chariot and 3-3/4 pounds of silver for each horse. They also exported/sold many of them to the kings of the Heth and Aram people-groups.
