Nagpangayo si Solomon sang Kaalam(A)

Nangin malig-on ang paghari ni Solomon nga anak ni David sa iya ginharian kay kaupod niya ang Ginoo nga iya Dios, kag ginhimo niya siya nga gamhanan gid. Karon, nagpakighambal si Solomon sa tanan nga Israelinhon, sa mga kumander sang mga linibo kag ginatos nga mga soldado, sa mga manughukom, sa tanan nga pangulo sang Israel, kag sa tanan nga pangulo sang mga pamilya. Dayon naglakat si Solomon kag ang bug-os nga katilingban pakadto sa simbahan sa mataas nga lugar sa Gibeon, kay didto ang Tolda nga Ginapakigkitaan sang Dios. Ini nga Tolda ginpahimo ni Moises nga alagad sang Ginoo sa kamingawan. Sadto nga tion nasaylo na ni David ang Kahon sang Dios halin sa Kiriat Jearim pakadto sa tolda nga iya ginpreparar para sa sini didto sa Jerusalem. Pero ang saway nga halaran nga ginhimo ni Bezalel nga anak ni Uri kag apo ni Hur ara sa Gibeon sa atubangan sang Tolda sang Ginoo. Gani didto nagtipon si Solomon kag ang katilingban sa pagpamangkot sa Ginoo. Dayon nagsaka si Solomon sa saway nga halaran sa presensya sang Ginoo didto sa Tolda nga Ginapakigkitaan, kag naghalad siya sang 1,000 ka halad nga ginasunog.

Sadto nga gab-i nagpakita ang Dios kay Solomon kag nagsiling sa iya, “Pangayo sang bisan ano nga gusto mo nga ihatag ko sa imo.” Nagsabat si Solomon, “Ginpakitaan mo sang dako nga kaayo ang akon amay nga si David, kag karon ginbulos mo ako sa iya bilang hari. Karon, Ginoong Dios, tumana ang imo ginpromisa sa akon amay nga si David, kay ginhimo mo ako nga hari sa katawhan nga daw pareho kadamo sa balas. 10 Hatagi ako sang kaalam kag ihibalo agod madumalahan ko ini nga katawhan. Kay sin-o bala ang makasarang sa pagdumala sining imo katawhan nga puwerte kadamo?”

11 Nagsiling ang Dios kay Solomon, “Tungod nagpangayo ka sang kaalam kag ihibalo sa pagdumala sa akon katawhan nga ginapaharian ko sa imo kag wala ka nagpangayo sang manggad ukon dungog ukon kamatayon sang imo mga kaaway ukon malawig nga kabuhi, 12 ihatag ko sa imo ang imo ginapangayo. Kag indi lang ina kundi hatagan ko pa ikaw sang madamo gid nga manggad kag dungog nga wala pa maangkon ni bisan sin-o nga hari nga una sa imo kag indi man maangkon sang masunod pa nga mga hari.”

13 Dayon naghalin si Solomon sa Tolda nga Ginapakigkitaan didto sa simbahan sa mataas nga lugar sa Gibeon, kag nagbalik sa Jerusalem. Kag naghari siya sa Israel.

Ang Manggad ni Solomon(B)

14 Nakatipon si Solomon sang 1,400 ka karwahe kag 12,000 ka kabayo.[a] Ginbutang niya ang iban sini sa mga banwa nga bulutangan sang iya mga karwahe, kag ang iban didto sa iya sa Jerusalem. 15 Sang panahon nga siya ang hari, ang pilak kag bulawan sa Jerusalem daw pareho lang ka ordinaryo sa mga bato, kag ang kahoy nga sedro daw pareho kabugana sa ordinaryo nga mga kahoy nga sikomoro sa mga bulobukid sa nakatundan.[b] 16 Ang mga kabayo ni Solomon naghalin pa sa Egipto[c] kag sa Cilicia.[d] Ginbakal ini sa Cilicia sang iya mga manugbakal sa husto nga bili. 17 Sadto nga tion ang bili sang karwahe nga halin sa Egipto 600 ka bilog nga pilak, kag ang kabayo 150 ka bilog nga pilak. Ginbaligya man ini sang mga tinawo ni Solomon sa tanan nga hari sang mga Hithanon kag sang mga Arameanhon.[e]

所羅門王求智慧

大衛的兒子所羅門鞏固了自己的王位。因為他的上帝耶和華與他同在,使他極其偉大。

所羅門召集所有以色列人,包括千夫長、百夫長、審判官、首領和族長, 與他們一起去基遍的邱壇,因為那裡有上帝的會幕,是耶和華的僕人摩西在曠野製造的。 大衛已經把上帝的約櫃從基列·耶琳搬到耶路撒冷,因為他在那裡為約櫃搭了一個帳篷。 戶珥的孫子、烏利的兒子比撒列造的銅壇在基遍耶和華的會幕前,所羅門和會眾就在那裡求問耶和華。 所羅門上到耶和華會幕前的銅壇那裡,獻上一千頭祭牲作為燔祭。

當天晚上,上帝向所羅門顯現,問他:「你要我給你什麼?只管求吧。」 所羅門回答說:「你厚待我父大衛,並讓我繼位。 耶和華上帝啊,求你成就你給我父大衛的應許。你立我為王,使我統治這多如地上塵土的百姓。 10 現在,求你賜我智慧和知識以帶領他們。不然,誰能治理這麼多的百姓呢?」 11 上帝對所羅門說:「你既然有此心願,不為自己求富貴、資財、尊榮、長壽,也沒有求滅絕你的敵人,只求智慧和知識以治理我的子民——我交在你王權之下的百姓, 12 我必賜你智慧和知識,並且我還要賜你空前絕後的富貴、資財和尊榮。」

13 於是,所羅門從基遍邱壇的會幕前回到耶路撒冷治理以色列。

所羅門王的兵力和財富

14 所羅門組建了戰車和騎兵,有一千四百輛戰車、一萬二千名騎兵,駐紮在屯車城和他所在的耶路撒冷。 15 王使耶路撒冷的金銀多如石頭,使香柏木多如丘陵的無花果樹。 16 所羅門的馬匹都是由王室商隊從埃及和古厄按定價買來的。 17 他們從埃及買來的車馬,每輛車六百塊銀子,每匹馬一百五十塊銀子,他們也把車馬賣給赫人諸王和亞蘭諸王。

Solomon Asks for Wisdom(A)(B)

Solomon son of David established(C) himself firmly over his kingdom, for the Lord his God was with(D) him and made him exceedingly great.(E)

Then Solomon spoke to all Israel(F)—to the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, to the judges and to all the leaders in Israel, the heads of families— and Solomon and the whole assembly went to the high place at Gibeon,(G) for God’s tent of meeting(H) was there, which Moses(I) the Lord’s servant had made in the wilderness. Now David had brought up the ark(J) of God from Kiriath Jearim to the place he had prepared for it, because he had pitched a tent(K) for it in Jerusalem. But the bronze altar(L) that Bezalel(M) son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made was in Gibeon in front of the tabernacle of the Lord; so Solomon and the assembly inquired(N) of him there. Solomon went up to the bronze altar before the Lord in the tent of meeting and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it.

That night God appeared(O) to Solomon and said to him, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.”

Solomon answered God, “You have shown great kindness to David my father and have made me(P) king in his place. Now, Lord God, let your promise(Q) to my father David be confirmed, for you have made me king over a people who are as numerous as the dust of the earth.(R) 10 Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead(S) this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?”

11 God said to Solomon, “Since this is your heart’s desire and you have not asked for wealth,(T) possessions or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king, 12 therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I will also give you wealth, possessions and honor,(U) such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have.(V)

13 Then Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting. And he reigned over Israel.

14 Solomon accumulated chariots(W) and horses; he had fourteen hundred chariots and twelve thousand horses,[a] which he kept in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem. 15 The king made silver and gold(X) as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as plentiful as sycamore-fig trees in the foothills. 16 Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and from Kue[b]—the royal merchants purchased them from Kue at the current price. 17 They imported a chariot(Y) from Egypt for six hundred shekels[c] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty.[d] They also exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and of the Arameans.

And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.

And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.

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.
