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 the LORD 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.
Then Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief 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 congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD 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 had David brought up from Kirjathjearim to the place which 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 Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation 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 thither to the brazen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a 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!»
In that night did God appear to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall 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.
And Solomon said to God, You have showed great mercy to David my father, and have made me to reign 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 LORD God, let your promise to David my father be established: for you 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 your 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 your heart, and you have not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of your enemies, neither yet have asked long life; but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge my people, over whom I have made you 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 is granted to you; and I will give you riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had that have been before you, neither shall there any after you have the like.
13 Sidan for Salomo frå offerhaugen i Gibeon, frå staden framanfor møtetjeldet, og til Jerusalem, og han var konge yver Israel.
Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, 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 he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which 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 at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the vale for abundance.
16 Hestarne sine fekk Salomo frå Egyptarland, med di kjøpmennerne åt kongen kjøpte deim der mot betaling.
And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king’s merchants received the linen yarn 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 fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so brought they out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.
