2 Chronicles 1
1 Solomon, son of David, strengthened his hold over the kingdom, and the Lord God was with him and made him extremely powerful.
I Solomun sin Davidov utvrdi se u carstvu svom, i Gospod Bog njegov bješe s njim, i uzvisi ga veoma.
2 Solomon sent for all the Israelite leaders, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every family leader.
I Solomun reèe svemu Izrailju, tisuænicima i stotinicima i sudijama i svijem knezovima svega Izrailja, glavarima domova otaèkih,
3 Solomon went with the whole assembly to the high place at Gibeon, for this was the site of God's Tent of Meeting that Moses, the Lord's servant, had made in the wilderness.
Te otidoše, Solomun i sav zbor s njim, na visinu koja bijaše u Gavaonu; jer ondje bijaše šator od sastanka Božijega, koji naèini Mojsije sluga Gospodnji u pustinji.
4 David had brought up the Ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the place in Jerusalem where he had set up a tent for it.
A kovèeg Božji bješe prenio David iz Kirijat-Jarima na mjesto koje mu spremi David; jer mu razape šator u Jerusalimu.
5 However, the bronze altar made by Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, was there in front of the Tent of the Lord, so that is where Solomon and the assembly went to worship.
I oltar mjedeni koji naèini Veseleilo, sin Urija sina Orova, bijaše ondje pred šatorom Gospodnjim. I potraži ga Solomun i sav zbor.
6 Solomon went up to the bronze altar before the Lord, in front of the Tent of Meeting. There he presented one thousand burnt offerings.
I prinese Solomun ondje pred Gospodom na oltaru mjedenom, koji bijaše pred šatorom od sastanka, prinese na njemu tisuæu žrtava paljenica.
7 That night God appeared to Solomon and told him, “Ask what you want me to give you.”
Onu noæ javi se Bog Solomunu i reèe mu: išti šta hoæeš da ti dam.
8 Solomon responded to God, “You showed trustworthy love without limit to my father David, and you have made me king in his place.
A Solomun reèe Bogu: ti si uèinio veliku milost Davidu ocu mojemu i postavio si mene carem na njegovo mjesto.
9 Lord God, please keep the promise you made to my father David. You have made me king over a nation that has as many people as the dust of the earth.
Neka dakle, Gospode Bože, bude tvrda rijeè tvoja, koju si rekao Davidu ocu mojemu, jer si me postavio carem nad narodom kojega ima mnogo kao praha na zemlji.
10 Please give me wisdom and knowledge to lead this people—for who can rule with justice this great people of yours?”
Zato daj mi mudrost i znanje da polazim pred narodom ovijem i dolazim, jer ko može suditi narodu tvojemu tako velikomu?
11 God told Solomon: “Because this is what you really wanted, and you didn't ask for wealth, possessions, or honor, or the death of those who hate you, or for a long life, but instead you asked for wisdom and knowledge so you can rule with justice my people that I have made you king over;
Tada reèe Bog Solomunu: što ti je to u srcu, a ne išteš bogatstva, blaga ni slave, ni duša nenavidnika svojih, niti išteš duga života, nego išteš mudrosti i znanja da možeš suditi narodu mojemu, nad kojim te postavih carem,
12 wisdom and knowledge is given to you. I will give you wealth, possessions, and honor as well, much more than any king who came before you has had, or who comes after you will ever have.”
Mudrost i znanje daje ti se; a daæu ti i bogatstva i slave, kakove nijesu imali carevi prije tebe niti æe poslije tebe imati.
13 Then Solomon returned to Jerusalem from the Tent of Meeting in Gibeon, and he ruled over Israel.
I vrati se Solomun s visine koja bijaše u Gavaonu ispred šatora od sastanka u Jerusalim, i carovaše nad Izrailjem.
14 Solomon built up an army of chariots and horses. He had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he placed in the chariot cities, and also with him in Jerusalem.
I nakupi Solomun kola i konjika, i imaše tisuæu i èetiri stotine kola i dvanaest tisuæa konjika, koje namjesti po gradovima gdje mu bijahu kola i kod sebe u Jerusalimu.
15 The king made silver and gold as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar wood as plentiful as sycamore-figs trees in the foothills.
I uèini car te bijaše u Jerusalimu srebra i zlata kao kamena, a kedrovijeh drva kao divljih smokava koje rastu po polju, tako mnogo.
16 Solomon imported horses for himself from Egypt and Kue; the king's traders bought them in Kue.
I dovoðahu Solomunu konje iz Misira i svakojaki trg, jer trgovci carevi uzimahu svakojaki trg za cijenu.
17 A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred silver shekels, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. In the same way they exported them to all the Hittite kings and the Aramean kings.
I odlažahu, te dogonjahu iz Misira kola po šest stotina sikala srebra, a konje po sto pedeset; i tako svi carevi Hetejski i carevi Sirski preko njih dobivahu.
