< 2 Chronicles 1 >
1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom. And Jehovah his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
И Соломун син Давидов утврди се у царству свом, и Господ Бог његов беше с њим, и узвиси га веома.
2 And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every ruler in all Israel, the heads of the fathers.
И Соломун рече свему Израиљу, хиљадницима и стотиницима и судијама и свим кнезовима свега Израиља, главарима домова отачких,
3 So Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon. For the tent of meeting of God was there, which Moses the servant of Jehovah had made in the wilderness.
Те отидоше, Соломун и сав збор с њим, на висину која беше у Гаваону; јер онде беше шатор од састанка Божјег, који начини Мојсије, слуга Господњи, у пустињи.
4 But the ark of God David had brought up from Kiriath-jearim to the place that David had prepared for it. For he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
А ковчег Божји беше пренео Давид из Киријат-Јарима на место које му спреми Давид; јер му разапе шатор у Јерусалиму.
5 Moreover the brazen altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of Jehovah. And Solomon and the assembly sought to it.
И олтар бронзани који начини Веселеило, син Урија сина Оровог, беше онде пред шатором Господњим. И потражи Га Соломун и сав збор.
6 And Solomon went up there to the brazen altar before Jehovah, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
И принесе Соломун онде пред Господом на олтару бронзаном, који беше пред шатором од састанка, принесе на њему хиљаду жртава паљеница.
7 In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give thee.
Ону ноћ јави се Бог Соломуну и рече му: Ишти шта хоћеш да ти дам.
8 And Solomon said to God, Thou have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his stead.
А Соломун рече Богу: Ти си учинио велику милост Давиду оцу мом и поставио си мене царем на његово место.
9 Now, O Jehovah God, let thy promise to David my father be established. For thou have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
Нека дакле, Господе Боже, буде тврда реч Твоја, коју си рекао Давиду оцу мом, јер си ме поставио царем над народом ког има много као праха на земљи.
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?
Зато дај ми мудрост и знање да полазим пред народом овим и долазим, јер ко може судити народу Твом тако великом?
11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou have not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of those who hate thee, neither yet have asked long life, but have asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou may judge my people over whom I have made thee king,
Тада рече Бог Соломуну: Што ти је то у срцу, а не иштеш богатство, благо ни славу, ни душе ненавидника својих, нити иштеш дуг живот, него иштеш мудрост и знање да можеш судити народу мом, над којим те поставих царем,
12 wisdom and knowledge are granted to thee. And I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before thee, neither shall any after thee have the like.
Мудрост и знање даје ти се; а даћу ти и богатства и славе, какве нису имали цареви пре тебе нити ће после тебе имати.
13 So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting, to Jerusalem, and he reigned over Israel.
И врати се Соломун с висине која беше у Гаваону испред шатора од састанка у Јерусалим, и цароваше над Израиљем.
14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen. And he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
И накупи Соломун кола и коњаника, и имаше хиљаду и четири стотине кола и дванаест хиљада коњаника, које намести по градовима где му беху кола и код себе у Јерусалиму.
15 And the king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars he made to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.
И учини цар те беше у Јерусалиму сребра и злата као камена, а кедрових дрва као дивљих смокава које расту по пољу, тако много.
16 And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt. The king's merchants received them in herds, each herd at a price.
И довођаху Соломуну коње из Мисира и свакојаку робу, јер трговци цареви узимаху свакојаки трг за цену.
17 And they went after and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. And so they brought them out by their means for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Syria.
И одлажаху, те догоњаху из Мисира кола по шест стотина сикала сребра, а коње по сто педесет; и тако сви цареви хетејски и цареви сирски преко њих добиваху.
