Otra Laiku 1
1 Un Salamans, Dāvida dēls, palika spēcīgs savā ķēniņa valdībā, jo Tas Kungs, viņa Dievs, bija ar to un darīja to ļoti lielu.
Solomon, son of David, strengthened his hold over the kingdom, and the Lord God was with him and made him extremely powerful.
2 Un Salamans sacīja uz visu Israēli, uz tūkstošniekiem un simtniekiem un tiesnešiem un visiem Israēla lielkungiem, tēvu namu virsniekiem,
Solomon sent for all the Israelite leaders, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every family leader.
3 Ka tie noietu, Salamans un visa draudze līdz ar viņu, uz to kalnu Gibeonā, jo tur bija Dieva saiešanas telts, ko Mozus, Tā Kunga kalps, tuksnesī bija taisījis.
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.
4 Bet Dieva šķirstu Dāvids bija atvedis no Kiriat Jearimas uz to vietu, ko Dāvids tam bija sataisījis, jo viņš tam bija uzcēlis telti Jeruzālemē.
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.
5 Tur bija arī vara altāris, ko Becaleēls, Urus dēls, Ura dēla dēls, bija taisījis priekš Tā Kunga dzīvokļa, un Salamans un tā draudze to apmeklēja.
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.
6 Un Salamans tur upurēja priekš Tā Kunga vaiga uz vara altāra saiešanas telts priekšā, un viņš upurēja uz tā tūkstoš dedzināmos upurus.
Solomon went up to the bronze altar before the Lord, in front of the Tent of Meeting. There he presented one thousand burnt offerings.
7 Tanī naktī Dievs parādījās Salamanam un uz to sacīja: lūdz, ko Man tev būs dot.
That night God appeared to Solomon and told him, “Ask what you want me to give you.”
8 Un Salamans sacīja uz Dievu: manam tēvam Dāvidam Tu esi parādījis lielu žēlastību un mani Tu esi cēlis par ķēniņu viņa vietā.
Solomon responded to God, “You showed trustworthy love without limit to my father David, and you have made me king in his place.
9 Tad nu, Kungs Dievs, lai Tavs vārds tiešām tā notiek, kā Tu esi runājis uz manu tēvu Dāvidu, jo Tu mani esi cēlis par ķēniņu pār ļaudīm, kuru tik daudz, kā zemes pīšļu.
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.
10 Tad dod man nu gudrību un saprašanu, ka es šo ļaužu priekšā izeju un ieeju, jo kas varētu tiesāt šo Tavu lielo tautu?
Please give me wisdom and knowledge to lead this people—for who can rule with justice this great people of yours?”
11 Tad Dievs sacīja uz Salamanu: tāpēc ka tas ir tavā sirdī, un tu neesi lūdzies nedz bagātību, nedz mantas, nedz godu, nedz savu ienaidnieku dvēseles, nedz ilgu mūžu, bet esi izlūdzies gudrību un saprašanu, Manus ļaudis tiesāt, pār ko Es tevi esmu iecēlis par ķēniņu,
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;
12 Tad tev taps dota gudrība un saprašana, un bagātību un mantas un godu arīdzan Es tev došu, kā nevienam ķēniņam nav bijis priekš tevis un pēc tevis arī nevienam nebūs.
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.”
13 Tā Salamans nonāca Jeruzālemē no tā kalna Gibeonā, no saiešanas telts, un viņš valdīja pār Israēli.
Then Solomon returned to Jerusalem from the Tent of Meeting in Gibeon, and he ruled over Israel.
14 Un Salamans sakrāja ratus un jātniekus, un viņam bija tūkstoš četrsimt rati un divpadsmit tūkstoš jātnieki, un viņš tos lika ratu pilsētās un pie ķēniņa Jeruzālemē.
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.
15 Un ķēniņš darīja, ka sudraba un zelta bija Jeruzālemē tik daudz, kā akmeņu, un ciedru koku tik daudz, kā meža vīģes koku ielejās.
The king made silver and gold as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar wood as plentiful as sycamore-figs trees in the foothills.
16 Un Salamanam veda zirgus no Ēģiptes un visādas preces, un ķēniņa tirgotāji pirka tās preces.
Solomon imported horses for himself from Egypt and Kue; the king's traders bought them in Kue.
17 Un tie gāja un atveda no Ēģiptes ratus par sešsimt sudraba gabaliem, un vienu zirgu par simt piecdesmit. Un viņi tos izveda arī visiem Hetiešu ķēniņiem un Sīriešu ķēniņiem.
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.
