2 Chronicles 8
1 Solomon’s [workers] worked for 20 years to build the temple and the king’s palace.
По окончании двадцати лет, в которые Соломон строил дом Господень и свой дом,
2 Then his [workers] rebuilt the cities that [King] Hiram had given back to Solomon, and Solomon sent Israelis to live in those cities.
Соломон обстроил и города, которые дал Соломону Хирам, и поселил в них сынов Израилевых.
3 Solomon’s [army] then went to Hamath-Zobah [town] and captured it.
И пошел Соломон на Емаф-Сува и взял его.
4 His workers also rebuilt walls around Tadmor [town] in the desert, and in [the] Hamath [region] in all the towns where they kept supplies.
И построил он Фадмор в пустыне, и все города для запасов, какие основал в Емафе.
5 They rebuilt Upper Beth-Horon [town] and Lower Beth-Horon [city], and built walls around them with gates [in the walls] and bars [to fasten the gates].
Он обстроил Вефорон верхний и Вефорон нижний, города укрепленные, со стенами, воротами и запорами,
6 They also rebuilt Baalath [town] and all the cities where supplies were kept and the cities where Solomon’s chariots and horses were kept. Solomon’s [workers] built whatever he wanted them to build, in Jerusalem and in Lebanon, and in other places in the area that he ruled.
и Ваалаф и все города для запасов, которые были у Соломона, и все города для колесниц, и города для конных, и все, что хотел Соломон построить в Иерусалиме и на Ливане и во всей земле владения своего.
7 Solomon forced people from many other groups who were not Israelis to work for him like slaves. They were people from the Heth, Amor, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups.
Весь народ, оставшийся от Хеттеев, и Аморреев, и Ферезеев, и Евеев и Иевусеев, которые были не из сынов Израилевых, -
8 They were descendants of groups whom the Israelis had not completely destroyed. Solomon forced them to become his slaves, and they are still slaves.
детей их, оставшихся после них на земле, которых не истребили сыны Израилевы, - сделал Соломон оброчными до сего дня.
9 But Solomon did not force Israelis to work for him. Israelis became his soldiers and commanders of his chariots and his chariot-drivers.
Сынов же Израилевых не делал Соломон работниками по делам своим, но они были воинами, и начальниками телохранителей его, и вождями колесниц его и всадников его.
10 They were also King Solomon’s chief officials. There were 250 of them, and they supervised the workers.
И было главных приставников у царя Соломона, управлявших народом, двести пятьдесят.
11 Solomon moved his wife, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt, from [the place outside Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’ to the place that his workers had built for her. He said, “I do not want my wife to live in the palace that [my father] King David’s workers built, because the Sacred Chest [was in that palace for a while], and any place where the Sacred Chest has been is holy.”
А дочь фараонову перевел Соломон из города Давидова в дом, который построил для нее, потому что, говорил он, не должна жить женщина у меня в доме Давида, царя Израилева, ибо свят он, так как вошел в него ковчег Господень.
12 On the altar that Solomon’s [workers] had built in front of the entrance [to the temple], Solomon sacrificed many offerings that were to be completely burned.
Тогда стал возносить Соломон всесожжения Господу на жертвеннике Господнем, который он устроил пред притвором,
13 He did that to obey the rules about what sacrifices Moses had declared should be made. These included sacrifices for every day and for the Sabbath days and to celebrate each day on which there was a new moon and for the three other festivals that were celebrated each year. Those festivals were the Festival of Eating Unleavened Bread, the Harvest Festival, and the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters.
чтобы по уставу каждого дня приносить всесожжения, по заповеди Моисеевой, в субботы, и в новомесячия, и в праздники три раза в год: в праздник опресноков, и в праздник седмиц, и в праздник кущей.
14 Obeying what his father David had commanded, he appointed the groups of priests for their work, and he appointed the descendants of Levi to lead the people while they sang to praise Yahweh and while they assisted the priests in their daily work. He also appointed groups of them to guard all the gates, because that was also what David, the man who pleased God [very well], had commanded.
И установил он, по распоряжению Давида, отца своего, череды священников по службе их и левитов по стражам их, чтобы они славословили и служили при священниках по уставу каждого дня, и привратников по чередам их, к каждым воротам, потому что таково было завещание Давида, человека Божия.
15 The priests and other descendants of Levi obeyed completely everything that the king commanded, including [taking care of] the storerooms.
И не отступали от повелений царя о священниках и левитах ни в чем, ни в отношении сокровищ.
16 They did all the work [of building the temple] that Solomon told them to do, until it was all completed. So they finishing building the temple.
Так устроено было все дело Соломоново от дня основания дома Господня до совершенного окончания его - дома Господня.
17 Then some of Solomon’s men went to Ezion-Geber and Elath [cities] on the coast of the Red Sea, an area that belonged to the Edom people-group.
Тогда пошел Соломон в Ецион-Гавер и в Елаф, который на берегу моря, в земле Идумейской.
18 King Hiram sent to Solomon from [Tyre city] some ships that were commanded by his officers. They were men who were experienced sailors. These men went in the ships with Solomon’s men to [the] Ophir [region] and brought back about 17 tons of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
И прислал ему Хирам чрез слуг своих корабли и рабов, знающих море, и отправились они с слугами Соломоновыми в Офир, и добыли оттуда четыреста пятьдесят талантов золота, и привезли царю Соломону.
