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.
AND 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,
And Solomon spoke unto 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' houses.
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 congregation 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 the ark of God had David brought 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 brazen altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, had been put before the tabernacle of the LORD; and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.
6 И принесе Соломун онде пред Господом на олтару бронзаном, који беше пред шатором од састанка, принесе на њему хиљаду жртава паљеница.
And Solomon offered there, upon the brazen altar before the LORD, which was at the tent of meeting, he offered a thousand burnt-offerings upon it.
7 Ону ноћ јави се Бог Соломуну и рече му: Ишти шта хоћеш да ти дам.
In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him: 'Ask what I shall give thee.'
8 А Соломун рече Богу: Ти си учинио велику милост Давиду оцу мом и поставио си мене царем на његово место.
And Solomon said unto God: 'Thou hast shown great kindness unto David my father, and hast made me king in his stead.
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, O LORD God, let Thy promise unto David my father be established; for Thou hast 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?
Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this Thy 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,
And God said to Solomon: 'Because this was in thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of them that hate thee, neither yet hast asked long life, but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge My people, over whom I have made thee 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 unto thee, and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee 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 his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting, unto 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.
And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; and he had a thousand and 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.
And 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.
And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; also out of Keve, the king's merchants buying them of the men of Keve at a price.
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.
And they fetched up, and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Aram, did they bring them out by their means.
