2 Kronická 8
1 Stalo se potom po přeběhnutí dvadcíti let, v nichž stavěl Šalomoun dům Hospodinův a dům svůj,
Solomon’s [workers] worked for 20 years to build the temple and the king’s palace.
2 Že vystavěl Šalomoun města, kteráž byl dal Chíram Šalomounovi, a osadil tam syny Izraelské.
Then his [workers] rebuilt the cities that [King] Hiram had given back to Solomon, and Solomon sent Israelis to live in those cities.
3 Zatím táhl Šalomoun do Emat Soby, a zmocnil se jí.
Solomon’s [army] then went to Hamath-Zobah [town] and captured it.
4 I ustavěl Tadmor na poušti, a všecka města skladů vystavěl v Emat.
His workers also rebuilt walls around Tadmor [town] in the desert, and in [the] Hamath [region] in all the towns where they kept supplies.
5 Vystavěl i Betoron hořejší, též i Betoron dolejší, města ohrazená zdmi, branami i závorami.
They rebuilt Upper Beth-Horon [town] and Lower Beth-Horon [city], and built walls around them with gates [in the walls] and bars [to fasten the gates].
6 Ano i Baalat a všecka města, v nichž měl sklady Šalomoun, a všecka města vozů, i města jízdných, všecko vedlé žádosti své, cožkoli chtěl stavěti v Jeruzalémě a na Libánu, i po vší zemi panování svého.
They also rebuilt Baalath [town] and all the cities where supplies were kept and the cities where Solomon’s chariots and horses were kept. Solomon’s [workers] built whatever he wanted them to build, in Jerusalem and in Lebanon, and in other places in the area that he ruled.
7 Všecken také lid, kterýž byl pozůstal z Hetejských, a Amorejských a Ferezejských, a Hevejských a Jebuzejských, kteříž nebyli z Izraele,
Solomon forced people from many other groups who were not Israelis to work for him like slaves. They were people from the Heth, Amor, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups.
8 Z synů jejich, kteříž byli pozůstali po nich v zemi té, jichž byli nevyhubili synové Izraelští, uvedl Šalomoun pod plat až do tohoto dne.
They were descendants of groups whom the Israelis had not completely destroyed. Solomon forced them to become his slaves, and they are still slaves.
9 Ale z synů Izraelských, jichž nepodrobil Šalomoun v službu při díle svém, (nebo oni byli muži bojovní a přední knížata jeho, úředníci nad vozy a jezdci jeho),
But Solomon did not force Israelis to work for him. Israelis became his soldiers and commanders of his chariots and his chariot-drivers.
10 Z těch, pravím, bylo předních vládařů, kteréž měl král Šalomoun, dvě stě a padesáte, kteříž panovali nad lidem.
They were also King Solomon’s chief officials. There were 250 of them, and they supervised the workers.
11 Dceru pak Faraonovu přestěhoval Šalomoun z města Davidova do domu, kterýž jí byl vystavěl. Nebo řekl: Nemohlať by bydliti manželka má v domě Davida krále Izraelského, nebo svatý jest, proto že vešla do něho truhla Hospodinova.
Solomon moved his wife, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt, from [the place outside Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’ to the place that his workers had built for her. He said, “I do not want my wife to live in the palace that [my father] King David’s workers built, because the Sacred Chest [was in that palace for a while], and any place where the Sacred Chest has been is holy.”
12 Tedy obětoval Šalomoun zápaly Hospodinu na oltáři Hospodinovu, kterýž byl vzdělal před síní,
On the altar that Solomon’s [workers] had built in front of the entrance [to the temple], Solomon sacrificed many offerings that were to be completely burned.
13 Cokoli náležitě každého dne obětováno býti mělo podlé přikázaní Mojžíšova, ve dny sobotní, na novměsíce a na slavnosti, po třikrát do roka, na slavnost přesnic, na slavnost téhodnů, a na slavnost stánků.
He did that to obey the rules about what sacrifices Moses had declared should be made. These included sacrifices for every day and for the Sabbath days and to celebrate each day on which there was a new moon and for the three other festivals that were celebrated each year. Those festivals were the Festival of Eating Unleavened Bread, the Harvest Festival, and the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters.
14 Ustanovil také podlé nařízení Davida otce svého pořádky kněžské k úřadům jejich, a Levíty ku povinnostem jejich, aby chválili Boha, a přisluhovali při kněžích náležitě každého dne, a vrátné v pořádcích jejich u jedné každé brány; nebo tak byl rozkaz Davida muže Božího.
Obeying what his father David had commanded, he appointed the groups of priests for their work, and he appointed the descendants of Levi to lead the people while they sang to praise Yahweh and while they assisted the priests in their daily work. He also appointed groups of them to guard all the gates, because that was also what David, the man who pleased God [very well], had commanded.
15 Aniž se uchýlili od rozkázaní králova kněžím a Levítům při všeliké věci i při pokladích.
The priests and other descendants of Levi obeyed completely everything that the king commanded, including [taking care of] the storerooms.
16 A když dostrojeno bylo všecko dílo Šalomounovo od toho dne, v němž založen byl dům Hospodinův, až do vystavení jeho, a tak dokonán byl dům Hospodinův,
They did all the work [of building the temple] that Solomon told them to do, until it was all completed. So they finishing building the temple.
17 Tedy jel Šalomoun do Aziongaber a do Elat při břehu mořském v zemi Idumejské.
Then some of Solomon’s men went to Ezion-Geber and Elath [cities] on the coast of the Red Sea, an area that belonged to the Edom people-group.
18 I poslal jemu Chíram po služebnících svých lodí, a služebníky umělé na moři, kteříž plavivše se s služebníky Šalomounovými do Ofir, nabrali odtud čtyři sta a padesáte centnéřů zlata, a přinesli je králi Šalomounovi.
King Hiram sent to Solomon from [Tyre city] some ships that were commanded by his officers. They were men who were experienced sailors. These men went in the ships with Solomon’s men to [the] Ophir [region] and brought back about 17 tons of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
