2 Књига дневника 1
1 И Соломун син Давидов утврди се у царству свом, и Господ Бог његов беше с њим, и узвиси га веома.
Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
2 И Соломун рече свему Израиљу, хиљадницима и стотиницима и судијама и свим кнезовима свега Израиља, главарима домова отачких,
Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers' households.
3 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.
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 the LORD had made in the wilderness.
4 А ковчег Божји беше пренео Давид из Киријат-Јарима на место које му спреми Давид; јер му разапе шатор у Јерусалиму.
But David had brought the ark of God up from Kiriath Jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
5 И олтар бронзани који начини Веселеило, син Урија сина Оровог, беше онде пред шатором Господњим. И потражи Га Соломун и сав збор.
Moreover the bronze altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the assembly were seeking counsel there.
6 И принесе Соломун онде пред Господом на олтару бронзаном, који беше пред шатором од састанка, принесе на њему хиљаду жртава паљеница.
Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the LORD, which was at the Tent of Meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it.
7 Ону ноћ јави се Бог Соломуну и рече му: Ишти шта хоћеш да ти дам.
In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, "Ask what I shall give you."
8 А Соломун рече Богу: Ти си учинио велику милост Давиду оцу мом и поставио си мене царем на његово место.
Solomon said to God, "You have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his place.
9 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.
Now, LORD God, let your promise to David my father be established; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
10 Зато дај ми мудрост и знање да полазим пред народом овим и долазим, јер ко може судити народу Твом тако великом?
Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this your people, that is so great?"
11 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,
God said to Solomon, "Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of those who hate you, neither yet have asked long life; but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge my people, over whom I have made you king:
12 Мудрост и знање даје ти се; а даћу ти и богатства и славе, какве нису имали цареви пре тебе нити ће после тебе имати.
wisdom and knowledge is granted to you. I will give you riches, wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before you; neither shall there any after you have the like."
13 И врати се Соломун с висине која беше у Гаваону испред шатора од састанка у Јерусалим, и цароваше над Израиљем.
So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting, to Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel.
14 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.
Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
15 И учини цар те беше у Јерусалиму сребра и злата као камена, а кедрових дрва као дивљих смокава које расту по пољу, тако много.
The king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.
16 И довођаху Соломуну коње из Мисира и свакојаку робу, јер трговци цареви узимаху свакојаки трг за цену.
The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and from Kue; the king's merchants purchased them from Kue.
17 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.
They brought up and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Aram, they brought them out by their means.
