2 Dnevnika 1
1 I Solomun sin Davidov utvrdi se u carstvu svom, i Gospod Bog njegov bješe s njim, i uzvisi ga veoma.
And Solomon the son of David was established over his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and increased him exceedingly.
2 I Solomun reèe svemu Izrailju, tisuænicima i stotinicima i sudijama i svijem knezovima svega Izrailja, glavarima domova otaèkih,
And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands, and to the captains of hundreds, and to the judges, and to all the rulers over Israel, even the heads of the families;
3 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.
and Solomon and all the congregation went to the high place that was in Gabaon, where was God's tabernacle of witness, which Moses the servant of the Lord made in the wilderness.
4 A kovèeg Božji bješe prenio David iz Kirijat-Jarima na mjesto koje mu spremi David; jer mu razape šator u Jerusalimu.
But David had brought up the ark of God out of the city of Cariathiarim; for David had prepared a place for it, for he had pitched a tabernacle for it in Jerusalem.
5 I oltar mjedeni koji naèini Veseleilo, sin Urija sina Orova, bijaše ondje pred šatorom Gospodnjim. I potraži ga Solomun i sav zbor.
And the brazen altar which Beseleel the son of Urias, the son of Or, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord: and Solomon and the congregation enquired at it.
6 I prinese Solomun ondje pred Gospodom na oltaru mjedenom, koji bijaše pred šatorom od sastanka, prinese na njemu tisuæu žrtava paljenica.
And Solomon brought [victims] there to the brazen altar that was before the Lord in the tabernacle, and offered upon it a thousand whole burnt offerings.
7 Onu noæ javi se Bog Solomunu i reèe mu: išti šta hoæeš da ti dam.
In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give you.
8 A Solomun reèe Bogu: ti si uèinio veliku milost Davidu ocu mojemu i postavio si mene carem na njegovo mjesto.
And Solomon said to God, You have dealt very mercifully with my father David, and have made me king in his stead.
9 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.
And now, O Lord God, let, I pray you, your name be established upon David my father; for you have made me king over a people numerous as the dust of the earth.
10 Zato daj mi mudrost i znanje da polazim pred narodom ovijem i dolazim, jer ko može suditi narodu tvojemu tako velikomu?
Now give me wisdom and understanding, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who shall judge this your great people?
11 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,
And God said to Solomon, Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked great wealth, nor glory, nor the life of your enemies, and you have not asked long life; but have asked for yourself wisdom and understanding, that you might judge my people, over whom I have made you king:
12 Mudrost i znanje daje ti se; a daæu ti i bogatstva i slave, kakove nijesu imali carevi prije tebe niti æe poslije tebe imati.
I give you this wisdom and understanding; and I will give you wealth, and riches, and glory, so that there shall not have been [any] like you amongst the kings before you, neither shall there be such after you.
13 I vrati se Solomun s visine koja bijaše u Gavaonu ispred šatora od sastanka u Jerusalim, i carovaše nad Izrailjem.
And Solomon came from the high place that was in Gabaon to Jerusalem, [from] before the tabernacle of witness, and reigned over Israel.
14 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.
And Solomon collected chariots and horsemen: and he had fourteen hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen: and he set them in the cities of chariots, and the people [were] with the king in Jerusalem.
15 I uèini car te bijaše u Jerusalimu srebra i zlata kao kamena, a kedrovijeh drva kao divljih smokava koje rastu po polju, tako mnogo.
And the king made silver and gold in Jerusalem [to be] as stones, and cedars in Judea as sycamores in the plain for multitude.
16 I dovoðahu Solomunu konje iz Misira i svakojaki trg, jer trgovci carevi uzimahu svakojaki trg za cijenu.
And Solomon imported horses from Egypt, and the charge of the king's merchants for going [was as follows], and they traded,
17 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.
and went and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred [pieces] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty [pieces] of silver: and so they brought for all the kings of the Chettites, and for the kings of Syria by their means.
