2 Dnevnika 1
1 I Solomun sin Davidov utvrdi se u carstvu svom, i Gospod Bog njegov bješe s njim, i uzvisi ga veoma.
Solomon son of David was strengthened in his rule, and Yahweh his God was with him and made him very powerful.
2 I Solomun reèe svemu Izrailju, tisuænicima i stotinicima i sudijama i svijem knezovima svega Izrailja, glavarima domova otaèkih,
Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers' houses.
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.
So Solomon and all the assembly with him went to the high place that was at Gibeon, for there was the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of Yahweh, had 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 from Kiriath Jearim to the place that he had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent 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.
In addition, the bronze altar made by Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur was there before the tabernacle of Yahweh; Solomon and the assembly went to it.
6 I prinese Solomun ondje pred Gospodom na oltaru mjedenom, koji bijaše pred šatorom od sastanka, prinese na njemu tisuæu žrtava paljenica.
Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before Yahweh, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it.
7 Onu noæ javi se Bog Solomunu i reèe mu: išti šta hoæeš da ti dam.
God appeared to Solomon that night and said to him, “Ask! What should I give you?”
8 A Solomun reèe Bogu: ti si uèinio veliku milost Davidu ocu mojemu i postavio si mene carem na njegovo mjesto.
Solomon said to God, “You have shown great covenant faithfulness to David my father, and have made me king in his place.
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.
Now, Yahweh God, let your promise to David my father be carried out, for you have made me king over a people as 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 knowledge, so that I may lead this people, for who can judge your people, who are so many in number?”
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,
God said to Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and because you have not asked for riches, wealth, or honor, nor for the life of those who hate you, nor for long life for yourself, but you have asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself, so that you might rule my people, over whom I have made you king, and this is what I will do.
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 will now give you wisdom and knowledge. I will also give you riches, wealth, and honor, as none of the kings had before you, and none after you will have.”
13 I vrati se Solomun s visine koja bijaše u Gavaonu ispred šatora od sastanka u Jerusalim, i carovaše nad Izrailjem.
So Solomon came to Jerusalem from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting; he 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.
Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen, and he had 1,400 chariots and twelve thousand horsemen that he placed in the chariot cities, and with himself, 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.
The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as the stones, and he made cedar wood as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowlands.
16 I dovoðahu Solomunu konje iz Misira i svakojaki trg, jer trgovci carevi uzimahu svakojaki trg za cijenu.
As for the importation of horses from Egypt and Kue for Solomon, his merchants bought them from Kue at a price.
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.
They imported a chariot from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for 150 shekels. They also exported them to the kings of the Hittites and the Arameans.
