< 1 Kings 5 >
1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of 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 Hiram, saying,
Salomon je poslal k Hirámu, rekoč:
3 You know how that David my father could not build an house to the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, 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 But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil result.
Toda sedaj mi je Gospod, moj Bog, dal počitek na vsaki strani, tako da ni niti nasprotnika niti zlih dogodkov.
5 And, behold, I purpose to build an house to the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to David my father, saying, Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your room, he shall build an 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 Now therefore command you that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with your servants: and to you will I give hire for your servants according to all that you shall appoint: for you know that there is not among us any that can skill to hew timber like to 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, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be the LORD this day, which has given to David a wise son over this great 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 Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which you sent to me for: and I will do all your desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of 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 Lebanon to the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats to the place that you shall appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and you shall receive them: and you shall accomplish my desire, in giving food for 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 Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his desire.
Tako je Hirám dajal Salomonu cedrov les in cipresov les glede na vse njegove želje.
11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.
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 Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.
Gospod je dal Salomonu modrost, kakor mu je obljubil in bil je mir med Hirámom in Salomonom in onadva sta sklenila zavezo.
13 And king Solomon 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 Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, 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 three score and ten thousand that bore burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains;
Salomon jih je imel sedemdeset tisoč, ki so nosili bremena in osemdeset tisoč sekalcev v gorah,
16 Beside the chief of Solomon’s officers which were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people that worked in the work.
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, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
Kralj je zapovedal in prinesli so velike kamne, drage kamne, klesane kamne, da hiši položijo temelj.
18 And Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders did hew them, and the stone squarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.
Salomonovi graditelji, Hirámovi graditelji in kamnoseki so jih klesali. Tako so pripravili les in kamne, da zgradijo hišo.
