历代志下 1
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
所羅門往基遍獻祭(A)
1 大衛的兒子所羅門鞏固了他對以色列的統治，耶和華他的 神也和他同在，使他十分尊大。 2 所羅門召喚全體以色列人、千夫長、百夫長、審判官、以色列的各領袖和眾家族的首領。 3 所羅門和全體會眾一同到基遍的高地去，因為那裡有 神的會幕，就是耶和華的僕人摩西在曠野所做的。 4 至於 神的約櫃，大衛已經從基列．耶琳抬到他預備好的地方，因為他曾在耶路撒冷為約櫃蓋搭了一個帳幕。 5 戶珥的孫子、烏利的兒子比撒列所做的銅祭壇也在那裡，在耶和華的會幕前面；所羅門和會眾同去求問耶和華。 6 所羅門上到耶和華會幕前面的銅祭壇旁邊，在壇上獻上了一千隻燔祭牲。
所羅門祈求智慧(B)
7 那一夜， 神向所羅門顯現，對他說：“你無論求甚麼，我必賜給你。” 8 所羅門對 神說：“你曾經向我的父親大衛大施慈愛，使我接續他作王。 9 耶和華 神啊，現在求你實現你向我的父親大衛應許的話；因為你立了我作王統治這好像地上的塵土那麼多的人民。 10 現在求你賜我智慧和知識，使我可以領導這人民；否則，誰能治理你這眾多的人民呢？” 11 神對所羅門說：“你既然有這個心意：不求富足、財產、尊榮，也不求你敵人的性命，又不求長壽，只為自己求智慧和知識，好治理我的子民，就是我立你作王統治的人民， 12 因此，智慧和知識必賜給你，我也把富足、財產和尊榮賜給你；在你以前的列王從沒有這樣，在你以後的也必沒有這樣。”
所羅門的兵力與財富(C)
13 於是，所羅門從基遍高地的會幕（按照《馬索拉文本》，“從基遍高地的會幕”作“到基遍的高地，從會幕”；現參照《七十士譯本》和《武加大譯本》翻譯）回到耶路撒冷，統治以色列。
14 所羅門召集了戰車和馬兵：他有戰車一千四百輛，馬兵一萬二千名；他把這些車馬安置在囤車城，或在耶路撒冷，和王在一起。 15 王在耶路撒冷積存的金銀好像石頭那麼多，積存的香柏木好像平原的桑樹那麼多。 16 所羅門擁有的馬，都是從埃及和古厄運來的，是王的商人從古厄照價買來的。 17 他們從埃及運上來的車，每輛價銀六千八百四十克；馬每匹一千七百一十克。赫人眾王和亞蘭眾王的車馬，也都是這樣經這些商人的手買來的。

Prima vedenie a lui Solomon
1 Solomon, fiul lui David, şi-a întărit domnia, iar Domnul, Dumnezeul lui, a fost cu el, înălţându-l nespus de mult. 2 Solomon a vorbit întregului Israel – conducătorilor peste mii şi peste sute, judecătorilor, tuturor prinţilor lui Israel şi căpeteniilor de familii – 3 după care Solomon împreună cu întreaga adunare s-au dus pe înălţimea de la Ghivon. Acolo se afla Cortul Întâlnirii lui Dumnezeu, pe care Moise, robul Domnului, îl făcuse în pustie. 4 Chivotul lui Dumnezeu fusese luat de David din Chiriat-Iearim şi dus în locul pe care David i-l pregătise, căci el îi întinsese un cort la Ierusalim. 5 Însă altarul de bronz pe care-l făcuse Beţalel, fiul lui Uri, fiul lui Hur, se afla înaintea Tabernaculului Domnului. Solomon şi adunarea L-au căutat pe Domnul înaintea acestui altar. 6 Solomon s-a dus înaintea Domnului, acolo, la altarul de aramă, la Cortul Întâlnirii, şi a adus pe el o mie de arderi de tot. 7 În noaptea aceea, Dumnezeu i S-a arătat lui Solomon şi i-a zis:
– Cere-Mi orice vrei să-ţi dau!
8 – Tu ai arătat o mare îndurare[a] faţă de tatăl meu, David, I-a răspuns Solomon lui Dumnezeu, şi m-ai pus să domnesc în locul lui. 9 Acum, Doamne Dumnezeule, întăreşte promisiunea pe care i-ai făcut-o tatălui meu, David, căci Tu m-ai pus să domnesc peste un popor numeros ca pulberea pământului. 10 De aceea dă-mi înţelepciune şi cunoştinţă ca să pot conduce poporul acesta, căci cine poate judeca[b] acest popor al Tău atât de numeros?
11 Dumnezeu i-a răspuns lui Solomon:
– Pentru că aceasta a fost dorinţa inimii tale şi nu ai cerut nici bogăţie, nici belşug, nici faimă, nici moartea duşmanilor tăi şi nici o viaţă lungă, ci ai cerut înţelepciune şi cunoştinţă pentru a-Mi putea judeca poporul peste care te-am pus să domneşti, 12 înţelepciunea şi cunoştinţa îţi sunt date. Mai mult, îţi voi da asemenea bogăţii, belşug şi faimă, cum nu s-a mai văzut la nici unul din regii care au trăit înaintea ta şi nici nu se va mai vedea la nimeni după tine.
13 După aceea, Solomon a plecat de la înălţimea din Ghivon, unde se afla Cortul Întâlnirii, s-a întors la Ierusalim şi a domnit peste Israel.
Administrarea imperiului de către Solomon
14 Solomon a adunat care şi cai; avea o mie patru sute de care şi douăsprezece mii de cai[c] pe care îi ţinea în cetăţile pentru care, precum şi împreună cu el la Ierusalim. 15 Regele a făcut ca argintul şi aurul să fie la fel de obişnuite în Ierusalim precum pietrele, iar cedrii la fel de numeroşi precum sicomorii de pe dealuri[d]. 16 Caii lui Solomon erau aduşi din Egipt[e] şi din Kue[f]; negustorii regelui îi cumpărau din Kue pe un preţ stabilit. 17 Ei cumpărau un car din Egipt cu şase sute de şecheli[g] de argint, iar un cal cu o sută cincizeci de şecheli[h]. De asemenea, ei vindeau cai şi care tuturor regilor hitiţilor şi regilor Aramului.

The Reign of Solomon
Chapter 1
Solomon’s Wisdom.[a] 1 Solomon, the son of David, strengthened his hold on the kingdom, for the Lord his God was with him and made him exceedingly powerful.
2 After summoning all Israel, Solomon addressed the commanders of units of thousands and hundreds, the judges, and all the leaders in Israel, the heads of families. 3 Then, accompanied by the entire assembly, he went to the high place at Gibeon where God’s meeting tent was located, the tent that Moses, the servant of the Lord had made in the wilderness. 4 However, David had brought up the Ark of the Covenant from Kiriath-jearim to the place that David had prepared for it, having pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.
5 In addition, the bronze altar that Bezalel, the son of Hur, had made was also there in front of the tabernacle of the Lord, and Solomon and the assembly frequently consulted him. 6 Solomon also offered one thousand burnt offerings upon the bronze altar which was at the meeting tent.
7 That night God appeared to Solomon and said to him: “Ask what you wish me to grant you.” 8 Solomon replied to God: “You have shown great and faithful love to my father, and you have granted me the privilege of succeeding him as king. 9 O Lord God, let your promise to my father David now be fulfilled, for you have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth. 10 Therefore, now grant me wisdom and knowledge to lead this people, for without your help who can rule this great people of yours?”
11 Then God replied to Solomon: “Since this is your heart’s desire and you have not asked for wealth or possessions or honor, or for the lives of those who are hostile to you, or even for a long life for yourself, but instead have asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself so that you may govern my people over whom I have designated you to be king, 12 wisdom and knowledge will be granted to you. I will also give you riches, possessions, and glory such as no king before you has had and none after you shall be granted.”[b]
13 Solomon’s Wealth.[c] Then Solomon returned to Jerusalem from the meeting tent to the high place at Gibeon, and he reigned as king over Israel. 14 He accumulated vast numbers of chariots and horses, amassing fourteen hundred chariots and twelve thousand horses. He stationed some in the chariot cities, and the rest with the king at Jerusalem.
15 In Jerusalem the king made silver and gold as common as stones, and he made cedars as plentiful as the sycamores in the lowlands. 16 Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Cilicia, obtained by the king’s traders from Cilicia at the prevailing price. 17 The traders would import chariots from Egypt for six hundred shekels apiece, and horses from Cilicia for one hundred and fifty shekels apiece. They also exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and the Arameans.

- 2 Chronicles 1:1 The new king goes to the ancient sanctuary in Gibeon, where he venerates the tent of meeting, the “tabernacle” of God (1 Chr 16:39; Ex 27; 35).
- 2 Chronicles 1:12 We can surmise that Solomon was already wise in declaring his preference for wisdom and knowledge, and being given enormous wealth besides, shows the unmerited abundance of blessings that flow from the Lord when we choose rightly. Although all of these may be limited in this life, the love of the Lord is without end.
- 2 Chronicles 1:13 Solomon is conspicuous for his large number of war chariots. Even today impressive remains of royal stables are to be seen in the area of Megiddo.
2 Chronicles 1
King James Version
1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
2 Then Solomon spake unto 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 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 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 Moreover the brasen 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 unto it.
6 And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the Lord, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
7 In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.
8 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
9 Now, O Lord God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
10 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 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
12 Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.
13 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 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 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 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
17 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.

Salomon beder Gud om visdom(A)
1 Salomon, kong Davids søn, styrkede sit greb om magten i Israel, for Herren, hans Gud, hjalp ham og gjorde ham til en mægtig konge. 2 Han sammenkaldte alle officererne i hæren, dommerne, stammelederne og slægtsoverhovederne, 3 og gik i spidsen for dem til offerhøjen i Gibeon, for dér stod åbenbaringsteltet, som Herrens tjener Moses havde ladet fremstille i ørkenen. 4 Pagtens ark stod dog i Jerusalem i det telt, som kong David havde rejst, dengang han hentede arken fra Kirjat-Jearim. 5 Men det bronzealter, som Betzalel, søn af Uri, som var søn af Hur, havde lavet, stod stadig foran det gamle åbenbaringstelt. Derfor tog Salomon og Israels ledere derhen for at søge Herren og bringe ofre til ham. 6 Salomon ofrede tusind brændofre på alteret.
7 Samme nat viste Gud sig for Salomon i en drøm og sagde: „Bed om, hvad du vil, og jeg vil give det til dig!”
8 Salomon svarede: „Du har været umådelig god imod min far, David, og nu har du gjort mig til hans efterfølger. 9 Jeg beder om din hjælp, så dit løfte til min far kan gå i opfyldelse, for du har gjort mig til konge over et folk så talrigt som jordens støv. 10 Giv mig da den visdom og indsigt, der skal til for at regere dem på den rette måde, for hvem kan i egen kraft regere over dit mægtige folk?”
11 Gud svarede: „Fordi dit største ønske er at hjælpe dit folk, og fordi du ikke bad om personlig rigdom og ære eller død over dine fjender eller et langt liv, men du bad om visdom og indsigt til at regere mit folk, som jeg gjorde dig til konge over, 12 så vil jeg give dig den visdom og indsigt du bad om. Men jeg giver dig mere end det! Jeg giver dig også større rigdom og ære, end nogen konge har haft før dig, eller nogen konge siden skal få.”
13 Den næste dag vendte Salomon tilbage til Jerusalem, og han regerede med visdom over Israel i mange år.
Salomons rigdom(B)
14 Salomon anskaffede sig masser af stridsvogne og heste. Han havde 1400 stridsvogne og 12.000 heste, som han stationerede i de dertil indrettede vognbyer og i selve Jerusalem. 15 Salomons rigdom betød, at guld og sølv blev lige så almindeligt et syn i Jerusalem som stenene i byens gader, og det kostbare cedertræ blev lige så almindeligt som morbærfigentræ fra de vestlige bakkeskråninger. 16 Salomons heste blev importeret fra Egypten og Kilikien, hvor hans opkøbere konstant var på udkig. 17 En egyptisk stridsvogn leveret i Jerusalem kostede syv kilo sølv, og en hest kostede godt halvandet kilo sølv. En del af disse heste og vogne blev solgt videre til de hittitiske og aramæiske konger.
Tempelbyggeriet forberedes(C)
18 Salomon gav nu ordre til at igangsætte byggeriet af Herrens hus og sit eget palads.
