Chapter 1 of 2 Chronicles—New World Translation (NWT)

  1. ¶ And Solʹo·mon the son of David continued to get strength in his kingship,1 and Jehovah his God was with him2 and kept making him surpassingly great.3
  2. ¶ And Solʹo·mon proceeded to say the word to all Israel, to the chiefs of the thousands4 and of the hundreds5 and to the judges6 and to all the chieftains of all Israel,7 the heads of the paternal houses.8
  3. Then Solʹo·mon and all the congregation[a] with him went to the high place that was at Gibʹe·on;9 for there was where the tent of meeting10 of the [true] God,[b] which Moses the servant11 of Jehovah had made in the wilderness, happened to be.
  4. However, the ark12 of the [true] God David had brought up from Kirʹi·ath-jeʹa·rim13 to the place that David had prepared for it,14 for he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.15
  5. And the copper altar16 that Bezʹal·el17 the son of Uʹri the son of Hur18 had made had been put[c] before the tabernacle of Jehovah; and Solʹo·mon and the congregation applied as usual to it.
  6. Solʹo·mon now made offerings there before Jehovah upon the copper altar that belonged to the tent of meeting, and he proceeded to offer upon it a thousand burnt offerings.19
  7. ¶ During that night God appeared to Solʹo·mon and then said to him: “Ask! What shall I give you?”20
  8. At that Solʹo·mon said to God: “You are the One that exercised great loving-kindness[d] toward David my father21 and that have made me king in place of him.22
  9. Now, O Jehovah God, let your promise with David my father prove faithful,23 for you yourself have made me king24 over a people as numerous as the dust particles of the earth.25
  10. Give me now wisdom and knowledge26 that I may go out before this people and that I may come in,27 for who could judge this great people of yours?”28
  11. ¶ Then God said to Solʹo·mon: “For the reason that this has proved to be close to your heart29 and you have not asked for wealth, riches and honor or for the soul[e] of those hating you, neither is it even many days that you have asked for,30 but you ask for wisdom and knowledge for yourself that you may judge my people over whom I have made you king,31
  12. the wisdom and the knowledge are being given you;32 also wealth and riches and honor I shall give you such as no kings that were prior to you happened to have,33 and such as no one after you will come to have.”34
  13. ¶ So Solʹo·mon came [from][f] the high place that was at Gibʹe·on,35 from before the tent of meeting,36 to Jerusalem and continued to reign over Israel.37
  14. And Solʹo·mon kept gathering chariots and steeds[g] so that he came to have a thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand steeds,38 and he kept them stationed in chariot cities39 and close by the king at Jerusalem.
  15. And the king came to make the silver and the gold in Jerusalem like the stones;40 and cedarwood he made like the sycamore trees41 that are in the She·pheʹlah[h]42 for great quantity.
  16. And there was the export of the horses that Solʹo·mon had from Egypt,43 and the company of the king’s merchants would themselves take the horse drove for a price.44
  17. And they customarily brought up and exported from Egypt a chariot for six hundred silver pieces and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and that was the way it was for all the kings of the Hitʹtites and the kings of Syria.45 It was by means of them that they did the exporting.

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
