2 Mga Cronica 1

1At si Salomon na anak ni David ay tumibay sa kaniyang kaharian, at ang Panginoon niyang Dios ay sumakaniya, at pinadakila siyang mainam. 2At si Salomon ay nagsalita sa buong Israel, sa mga pinunong kawal ng lilibuhin at dadaanin, at sa mga hukom, at sa bawa't prinsipe sa buong Israel, na mga pangulo ng mga sangbahayan ng mga magulang. 3Sa gayo'y si Salomon, at ang buong kapisanan na kasama niya, ay naparoon sa mataas na dako na nasa Gabaon; sapagka't nandoon ang tabernakulo ng kapisanan ng Dios, na ginawa sa ilang ni Moises na lingkod ng Panginoon. 4Nguni't ang kaban ng Dios ay iniahon ni David mula sa Chiriath-jearim hanggang sa dakong pinaghandaan ni David: sapagka't kaniyang ipinagtayo ng tolda sa Jerusalem. 5Bukod dito'y ang dambanang tanso na ginawa ni Bezaleel na anak ni Uri, na anak ni Hur, ay nandoon sa harap ng tabernakulo ng Panginoon: at doo'y sumangguni si Salomon at ang buong kapisanan. 6At si Salomon ay sumampa roon sa dambanang tanso sa harap ng Panginoon, na nasa tabernakulo ng kapisanan, at naghandog ng isang libong handog na susunugin doon. 7Nang gabing yaon ay napakita ang Dios kay Salomon, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Hingin mo kung ano ang ibibigay ko sa iyo. 8At sinabi ni Salomon sa Dios, Ikaw ay nagpakita ng malaking kagandahang loob kay David na aking ama, at ginawa mo akong hari na kahalili niya. 9Ngayon, Oh Panginoong Dios, itatag mo ang iyong pangako kay David na aking ama: sapagka't ginawa mo akong hari sa bayang gaya ng alabok ng lupa sa karamihan. 10Bigyan mo ako ngayon ng karunungan at kaalaman, upang ako'y makapaglabas pumasok sa harap ng bayang ito: sapagka't sinong makahahatol dito sa iyong bayan na totoong malaki? 11At sinabi ng Dios kay Salomon, Sapagka't ito ang sumaiyong puso, at hindi ka humingi ng kayamanan, pag-aari o karangalan o ng buhay man ng nangapopoot sa iyo, o humingi ka kaya ng mahabang buhay; kundi humingi ka ng karunungan at kaalaman sa ganang iyong sarili, upang iyong mahatulan ang aking bayan, na aking pinaggawan sa iyo na hari: 12Karunungan at kaalaman ay nabigay sa iyo; at bibigyan kita ng kayamanan, at pag-aari, at karangalan na walang hari na una sa iyo na nagkaroon ng ganyan, o sinoman ay magkakaroon ng gayong pagkamatay mo. 13Sa gayo'y dumating si Salomon mula sa mataas na dako na nasa Gabaon, mula sa harap ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan hanggang sa Jerusalem; at siya'y naghari sa Israel. 14At si Salomon ay nagpisan ng mga karo at mga mangangabayo: at siya'y mayroong isang libo at apat na raang karo, at labing dalawang libong mangangabayo, na kaniyang inilagay sa bayan ng mga karo, at kasama ng hari sa Jerusalem. 15At ginawa ng hari ang pilak at ginto na maging gaya ng mga bato sa Jerusalem, at ang mga sedro na maging gaya ng mga sikomoro na nangasa mababang lupa dahil sa kasaganaan. 16At ang mga kabayo na tinatangkilik ni Salomon ay inilabas sa Egipto; ang mga mangangalakal ng hari ay nagsitanggap sa kanila ng mga kawan, na bawa't kawan ay sa halaga. 17At kanilang iniaahon at inilalabas sa Egipto ang isang karo sa halagang anim na raang siklong pilak, at ang isang kabayo sa isang daan at limangpu: at gayon sa lahat na hari ng mga Hetheo, at sa mga hari sa Siria, kanilang mga inilalabas sa pamamagitan nila.

1Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and Yahweh his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly. 2Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers’ households. 3So Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the Tent of Meeting of God, which Moses the servant of Yahweh had made in the wilderness. 4But David had brought the ark of God up from Kiriath Jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. 5Moreover the bronze altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before Yahweh’s tabernacle: and Solomon and the assembly were seeking counsel there. 6Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before Yahweh, which was at the Tent of Meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it. 7In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, “Ask what I shall give you.” 8Solomon said to God, “You have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his place. 9Now, Yahweh 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. 10Now give me 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?” 11God said to Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of those who hate you, 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: 12wisdom and knowledge is granted to you. I will give you riches, wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before you; neither shall any after you have the like.” 13So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting, to Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel. 14Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. 15The king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance. 16The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and from Kue; the king’s merchants purchased them from Kue. 17They brought up and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Syria, they brought them out by their means.

1En Salomo, de zoon van David, werd versterkt in zijn koninkrijk, want de HEERE, zijn God, was met hem, en maakte hem ten hoogste groot. 2En Salomo sprak tot het ganse Israel, tot de oversten der duizenden en der honderden, en tot de richteren, en tot alle vorsten in gans Israel, de hoofden der vaderen; 3En zij gingen henen, Salomo en de ganse gemeente met hem, naar de hoogte, die te Gibeon was; want daar was de tent der samenkomst Gods, die Mozes, de knecht des HEEREN, in de woestijn gemaakt had. 4(Maar de ark Gods had David van Kirjath-Jearim opgebracht, ter plaatse, die David voor haar bereid had; want hij had voor haar een tent te Jeruzalem gespannen.) 5Ook was het koperen altaar, dat Bezaleel, de zoon van Uri, den zoon van Hur, gemaakt had, aldaar voor den tabernakel des HEEREN; Salomo nu en de gemeente bezochten hetzelve. 6En Salomo offerde daar, voor het aangezicht des HEEREN, op het koperen altaar, dat aan de tent der samenkomst was; en hij offerde daarop duizend brandofferen. 7In dienzelfden nacht verscheen God aan Salomo; en Hij zeide tot hem: Begeer, wat Ik u geven zal. 8En Salomo zeide tot God: Gij hebt aan mijn vader David grote weldadigheid gedaan; en Gij hebt mij koning gemaakt in zijn plaats; 9Nu, HEERE God, laat Uw woord waar worden, gedaan aan mijn vader David; want Gij hebt mij koning gemaakt over een volk, menigvuldig als het stof der aarde; 10Geef mij nu wijsheid en wetenschap, dat ik voor het aangezicht van dit volk uitga en inga; want wie zou dit Uw groot volk kunnen richten? 11Toen zeide God tot Salomo: Daarom, dat dit in uw hart geweest is, en gij niet begeerd hebt rijkdom, goederen, noch eer, noch de ziel uwer haters, noch ook vele dagen begeerd hebt; maar wijsheid en wetenschap voor u begeerd hebt, opdat gij Mijn volk mocht richten, waarover Ik u koning gemaakt heb; 12De wijsheid, en de wetenschap is u gegeven; daartoe zal Ik u rijkdom, en goederen, en eer geven, dergelijke geen koningen, die voor u geweest zijn, gehad hebben, en na u zal dergelijke niet zijn. 13Alzo kwam Salomo te Jeruzalem, van de hoogte, die te Gibeon is, van voor de tent der samenkomst; en hij regeerde over Israel. 14En Salomo vergaderde wagenen en ruiteren, zodat hij duizend en vierhonderd wagenen, en twaalf duizend ruiteren had; en hij legde ze in de wagensteden, en bij den koning te Jeruzalem. 15En de koning maakte het zilver en het goud in Jeruzalem te zijn als stenen, en de cederen maakte hij te zijn als wilde vijgebomen, die in de laagten zijn, in menigte. 16En het uitbrengen der paarden was hetgeen Salomo uit Egypte had; en aangaande het linnengaren, de kooplieden des konings namen het linnengaren voor den prijs. 17En zij brachten op, en voerden een wagen uit van Egypte voor zeshonderd sikkelen zilvers, en een paard voor eenhonderd en vijftig; en alzo voerden zij die door hun hand uit, voor alle koningen der Hethieten, en voor de koningen van Syrie.
