2 Chronicles 1
1 Then Solomon, the son of David, was strengthened in his reign, and the Lord his God was with him, and he magnified him on high.
Salomon, sin Davidov, bio se učvrstio na prijestolju. Jahve, Bog njegov, bijaše s njim i uzvisi ga veoma.
2 And Solomon instructed the whole of Israel, the tribunes, and the centurions, and the rulers, and the judges over all of Israel, and the leaders of the families.
Salomon se tada obrati svem Izraelu, tisućnicima, satnicima, sucima, svim knezovima izraelskim, glavama obitelji,
3 And he went away with the entire multitude to the high place of Gibeon, where the tabernacle of the covenant of the Lord was, which Moses, the servant of God, made in the wilderness.
te se on i s njim sav Zbor popeše na uzvišicu koja bješe u Gibeonu, jer je ondje bio Šator sastanka što ga u pustinji podiže Mojsije, sluga Božji.
4 For David had brought the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim, to the place that he had prepared for it, and where he had pitched a tabernacle for it, that is, in Jerusalem.
David bijaše prenio Kovčeg Božji iz Kirjat Jearima do mjesta koje je sam pripravio za nj; jer je bio podigao Šator u Jeruzalemu.
5 Also, the altar of brass, which Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had constructed, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord. And so Solomon sought it, with the entire assembly.
Tučani žrtvenik što ga napravi Besalel, sin Hurova sina Urija, bijaše ondje pred Prebivalištem Jahvinim, kamo dođoše Salomon i zbor da mu se obrate.
6 And Solomon ascended to the bronze altar, before the tabernacle of the covenant of the Lord, and he offered upon it one thousand victims.
Ondje se Salomon pred Jahvom pope na tučani žrtvenik, koji bješe tik do Šatora sastanka, i prinese na njemu tisuću paljenica.
7 But behold, during that night God appeared to him, saying, “Request what you wish, so that I may give it to you.”
Iste se noći Bog ukaza Salomonu i reče mu: “Traži što da ti dadem.”
8 And Solomon said to God: “You have shown great mercy to my father David. And you have appointed me as king in his place.
Salomon odgovori: “Veoma si naklon bio mome ocu Davidu i zakraljio si mene na njegovo mjesto.
9 Now therefore, O Lord God, let your word be fulfilled, which you promised to my father David. For you have made me king over your great people, who are as innumerable as the dust of the earth.
Bože Jahve, neka se ispuni sada obećanje što si ga dao mome ocu Davidu, jer si me zakraljio nad narodom kojega ima mnogo kao zemaljske prašine.
10 Give to me wisdom and understanding, so that I may enter and depart before your people. For who is able worthily to judge this, your people, who are so great?”
Daj mi sada mudrost i znanje da uzmognem upravljati ovim narodom, jer tko će upravljati tolikim narodom kao što je ovaj tvoj!”
11 Then God said to Solomon: “Since this is the choice that pleased your heart, and you did not request wealth and substance and glory, nor the lives of those who hate you, nor even many days of life, since instead you requested wisdom and knowledge so that you may be able to judge my people, over whom I have appointed you as king:
Bog reče Salomonu: “Budući da ti je to u srcu, a nisi iskao ni bogatstva, ni blaga, ni slave, ni smrti neprijatelja i jer nisi tražio duga života nego mudrosti i znanja kako bi upravljao mojim narodom nad kojim te zakraljih,
12 wisdom and knowledge are granted to you. And I will give to you wealth and substance and glory, so that none of the kings either before you or after you will be similar to you.”
dajem ti mudrost i znanje. Ali ti dajem i bogatstva, blaga i slave kakve nije imao nijedan kralj što bješe prije tebe i kakve neće imati ni oni koji dođu poslije tebe.”
13 Then Solomon went from the high place of Gibeon to Jerusalem, before the tabernacle of the covenant, and he reigned over Israel.
Salomon s uzvišice u Gibeonu ode u Jeruzalem, podalje od Šatora sastanka, i kraljevaše nad Izraelom.
14 And he gathered to himself chariots and horsemen. And they brought to him one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. And he caused them to be in the cities of the chariots, and with the king in Jerusalem.
Sakupi bojnih kola i konjanika: imao je tisuću četiri stotine kola i dvanaest tisuća konjanika i razmjesti ih po gradovima gdje mu bijahu kola i kod sebe u Jeruzalemu.
15 And the king offered silver and gold in Jerusalem as if they were stones, and cedar trees as if they were sycamores, which grow in the plains in a great multitude.
Salomon učini da srebra i zlata bude u Jeruzalemu izobila kao kamenja, a cedrova mnogo kao dudova u Šefeli.
16 Then horses were brought to him from Egypt and from Kue, by the negotiators of the king, who went and bought for a price:
Konji Salomonovi bili su uvezeni iz Musrija i Koe; kraljevski dvorani kupovahu ih u Koi za srebro.
17 a four-horse chariot for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty. A similar offer to purchase was made known among all the kingdoms of the Hittites, and among the kings of Syria.
Dovozila su se i prodavala jedna bojna kola iz Egipta po šest stotina srebrnih šekela, a konji po sto i pedeset; to bješe isto tako za sve hetitske i aramejske kraljeve koji su ih uvozili preko njih.
