2 Chronicles 1
1 David’s son [King] Solomon was able to gain complete control over his kingdom, because Yahweh his God helped him and enabled him to become very powerful.
И Соломун син Давидов утврди се у царству свом, и Господ Бог његов беше с њим, и узвиси га веома.
2 [When] David [was king, he had arranged for a new] Sacred Tent [to be] made in Jerusalem. Then David [and the Israeli leaders] had brought God’s Sacred Chest from Kiriath-Jearim [city] to the new Sacred Tent in Jerusalem that he had prepared for it. But [when Solomon became the king, ] the first Sacred Tent was still at Gibeon [city]. That was the tent that Moses, the man who served God [well], had [arranged to be] made in the desert. And the bronze altar that Bezalel, the son of Uri and grandson of Hur, had made was also still in Gibeon, in front of the first Sacred Tent. [One day] Solomon summoned the army commanders of 1,000 soldiers and the commanders of 100 soldiers and the judges and all the other leaders in Israel. He told them to go with him to Gibeon. So they all went to a hill in Gibeon [where the Sacred Tent was], and Solomon and all the others with him worshiped Yahweh there.
И Соломун рече свему Израиљу, хиљадницима и стотиницима и судијама и свим кнезовима свега Израиља, главарима домова отачких,
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.
А ковчег Божји беше пренео Давид из Киријат-Јарима на место које му спреми Давид; јер му разапе шатор у Јерусалиму.
И олтар бронзани који начини Веселеило, син Урија сина Оровог, беше онде пред шатором Господњим. И потражи Га Соломун и сав збор.
6 Then Solomon went up to the bronze altar in front of the Sacred Tent, and he offered 1,000 animals to be [killed and] completely burned [on the altar].
И принесе Соломун онде пред Господом на олтару бронзаном, који беше пред шатором од састанка, принесе на њему хиљаду жртава паљеница.
7 That night God appeared to Solomon [in a dream] and said to him, “Request whatever you want me to give to you.”
Ону ноћ јави се Бог Соломуну и рече му: Ишти шта хоћеш да ти дам.
8 Solomon replied, “You were very kind to David my father, and now you have appointed me to be the king to succeed him.
А Соломун рече Богу: Ти си учинио велику милост Давиду оцу мом и поставио си мене царем на његово место.
9 So Yahweh my God, you have caused me to become the king to rule people who are as many as the particles of dirt on the earth. So do what you promised my father David.
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 Please enable me to be wise and to know [what I should do], in order that I may rule these people [well], because there is no one who can rule all this great nation of yours [without your help].”
Зато дај ми мудрост и знање да полазим пред народом овим и долазим, јер ко може судити народу Твом тако великом?
11 God replied, “[I am pleased with what] you desire; you have not requested a huge amount of money or to be honored or that your enemies be killed. And you have not requested that you live for a long time. Instead, you have requested that [I enable] you [to] be wise and [to] know [what you should do] in order that you may govern [well] my people whom I have appointed you to rule.
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 Therefore I will enable you to be wise and to know [what you should do to rule my people well]. But I will also enable you to have a huge amount of money and to be honored, more than anyone who was previously a king ever was honored, more than anyone who later becomes king will be honored.”
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 Then Solomon [and the people who were with him all] left from being in front of he Sacred Tent [on the hill in Gibeon], and they returned to Jerusalem. From there he ruled the Israeli people.
И врати се Соломун с висине која беше у Гаваону испред шатора од састанка у Јерусалим, и цароваше над Израиљем.
14 Solomon acquired 1,400 chariots and 12,000 men who rode [on horses]. He put some of the chariots and horses in Jerusalem, and put some of them in various other cities.
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 During the years that Solomon was king, silver and gold were as common in Jerusalem as stones, and [lumber from] cedar trees were as plentiful as [lumber from] ordinary sycamore trees in the foothills.
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 Solomon’s horses were imported/brought from Egypt and from [the] Kue [region in Turkey].
И довођаху Соломуну коње из Мисира и свакојаку робу, јер трговци цареви узимаху свакојаки трг за цену.
17 In Egypt his men paid 15 pounds of silver for each chariot and 3-3/4 pounds of silver for each horse. They also exported/sold many of them to the kings of the Heth and Aram people-groups.
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.
