Kings III 5
1 And Chiram king of Tyre sent his servants to anoint Solomon in the room of David his father, because Chiram always loved David.
Tirski kralj Hirám je svoje služabnike poslal k Salomonu, kajti slišal je, da so ga mazilili [za] kralja namesto njegovega očeta, kajti Hirám je bil vedno Davidov oboževalec.
2 And Solomon sent to Chiram, saying,
Salomon je poslal k Hirámu, rekoč:
3 Thou knewest my father David, that he could not build a house to the name of the Lord my God because of the wars that compassed him about, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet.
»Ti veš, da moj oče David ni mogel zgraditi hiše imenu Gospoda, svojega Boga, zaradi vojn, ki so bile okoli njega na vsaki strani, dokler jih ni Gospod položil pod podplate njegovih stopal.
4 And now the Lord my God has given me rest round about; there is no one plotting against [me], and there is no evil trespass [against me].
Toda sedaj mi je Gospod, moj Bog, dal počitek na vsaki strani, tako da ni niti nasprotnika niti zlih dogodkov.
5 And, behold, I intend to build a house to the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord God spoke to my father David, saying, Thy son whom I will set on thy throne in thy place, he shall build a house to my name.
Glej, namenil sem se zgraditi hišo imenu Gospoda, svojega Boga, kakor je Gospod spregovoril mojemu očetu Davidu, rekoč: ›Tvoj sin, ki ga bom namesto tebe postavil na tvoj prestol, on bo zgradil hišo mojemu imenu.
6 And now command, and let [men] cut wood for me out of Libanus: and, behold, my servants [shall be] with thy servants, and I will give thee the wages of thy service, according to all that thou shalt say, because thou knowest that we have no one skilled in cutting timber like the Sidonians.
Zdaj torej zapovej, da mi iz Libanona posekajo cedrova drevesa in moji služabniki bodo s tvojimi služabniki in dal ti bom plačilo za tvoje služabnike, glede na vse, kar mi boš določil; kajti veš, da med nami ni nobenega, ki tako vešče seka les kot Sidónci.‹«
7 And it came to pass, as soon as Chiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed [be] God to-day, who has given to David a wise son over this numerous people.
Ko je Hirám slišal Salomonove besede, se je pripetilo, da se je silno razveselil in rekel: »Blagoslovljen bodi ta dan Gospod, ki je Davidu dal modrega sina nad tem velikim ljudstvom.«
8 And he sent to Solomon, saying, I have listened concerning all that thou hast sent to me for: I will do all thy will: [as for] timber of cedar and fir,
In Hirám je poslal k Salomonu, rekoč: »Preudaril sem stvari, zaradi katerih pošiljaš k meni in izpolnil bom vso tvojo željo glede cedrovega lesa in glede cipresovega lesa.
9 my servants shall bring them down from Libanus to the sea: I will form them [into] rafts, [and bring them] to the place which thou shalt send to me [about]; and I will land them there, and thou shalt take [them] up: and thou shalt do my will, in giving bread to my household.
Moji služabniki ga bodo spravljali dol iz Libanona do morja in po morju ga bom spravljal v splavih na mesto, ki mi ga boš določil in povzročim jim, da bodo tam razvezani in jih boš sprejel, ti pa boš izpolnil mojo željo, da mi daješ hrano za mojo družino.«
10 So Chiram gave to Solomon cedars, and fir trees, and all his desire.
Tako je Hirám dajal Salomonu cedrov les in cipresov les glede na vse njegove želje.
11 And Solomon gave to Chiram twenty thousand measures of wheat as food for his house, and twenty thousand baths of beaten oil thus Solomon gave to Chiram yearly.
Salomon je dajal Hirámu dvajset tisoč mer pšenice za hrano njegovi družini in dvajset mer čistega olja. Tako je Salomon dajal Hirámu leto za letom.
12 And the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon as he promised him; and there was peace between Chiram and Solomon, and they made a covenant between them.
Gospod je dal Salomonu modrost, kakor mu je obljubil in bil je mir med Hirámom in Salomonom in onadva sta sklenila zavezo.
13 And the king raised a levy out of all Israel, and the levy was thirty thousand men.
Kralj Salomon je zbral dajatev obveznega dela iz vsega Izraela, in dajatev obveznega dela je bila trideset tisoč mož.
14 And he sent them to Libanus, ten thousand taking turn every month: they were a month in Libanus and two months at home: and Adoniram [was] over the levy.
Pošiljal jih je k Libanonu, deset tisoč na mesec, v izmenah. En mesec so bili na Libanonu in dva meseca doma. Adonirám pa je bil nad dajatvijo obveznega dela.
15 And Solomon had seventy thousand bearers of burdens, and eighty thousand hewers of stone in the mountain;
Salomon jih je imel sedemdeset tisoč, ki so nosili bremena in osemdeset tisoč sekalcev v gorah,
16 besides the rulers that were appointed over the works of Solomon, [there were] three thousand six hundred masters who wrought in the works.
poleg glavnih Salomonovih častnikov, ki so bili nad delom, tri tisoč tristo, ki so vladali nad ljudstvom, ki je opravljalo delo.
17 [And the king commanded and they ] [brought great stones, precious stones for the foundation of the house, and unhewn stones. ]
Kralj je zapovedal in prinesli so velike kamne, drage kamne, klesane kamne, da hiši položijo temelj.
18 And they prepared the stones and the timber [during] three years.
Salomonovi graditelji, Hirámovi graditelji in kamnoseki so jih klesali. Tako so pripravili les in kamne, da zgradijo hišo.
