Третья книга Царств 5
1 И посла Хирам царь Тирский отроки своя к Соломону: услыша бо, яко помазаша его на царство вместо Давида отца его, яко любяше Хирам Давида во вся дни.
Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the place of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David.
2 И посла Соломон к Хираму, глаголя:
Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
3 ты веси отца моего Давида, яко не возможе создати дому имени Господа Бога моего, от лица противных, окруживших его, дондеже даде я Господь под стопы ног его:
"You know how that David my father could not build a house for the name of Jehovah his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until Jehovah put them under the soles of his feet.
4 и ныне упокои Господь Бог мой мне окрест, несть наветника, ниже сопротивника лукаваго:
But now Jehovah my God has given me rest on every side. There is neither adversary, nor evil occurrence.
5 и се, аз глаголю создати дом имени Господа Бога моего, якоже глагола Господь Бог к Давиду отцу моему, глаголя: сын твой, егоже дам вместо тебе на престол твой, той созиждет дом имени Моему:
Look, I purpose to build a house for the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spoke to David my father, saying, 'Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, he shall build the house for my name.'
6 и ныне заповеждь, да насекут ми древ от Ливана, и се, раби мои с рабы твоими, и мзду трудов твоих дам ти по всему елика речеши, понеже ты веси, яко несть нам ведущаго древа сещи, якоже Сидоняне.
Now therefore command that they cut me cedar trees out of Lebanon. My servants shall be with your servants; and I will give you wages for your servants according to all that you shall say. For you know that there is not among us any who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians."
7 И бысть егда услыша Хирам словеса Соломоня, возрадовася зело и рече: благословен Бог днесь, Иже даде Давиду сына разумна над людьми сими многими.
It happened, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, "Blessed is Jehovah this day, who has given to David a wise son over this great people."
8 И посла Хирам к Соломону, глаголя: слышах о всех, ихже ради послал еси ко мне: аз сотворю все хотение твое о древах кедровых и певговых:
Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, "I have heard the message which you have sent to me. I will satisfy all your desire concerning cedar wood and concerning the wood of evergreens.
9 слуги мои изнесут я от Ливана к морю, и аз положу я в складения на место, идеже возвестиши мне, и довезу я тамо: и ты возмеши, и сотвориши хотение мое, еже дати хлебы дому моему.
My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place that you shall appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and you shall receive them. You shall accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household."
10 И бе Хирам дая Соломону кедры и певги и всю волю его.
So Hiram gave Solomon timber of cedar and timber of fir according to all his desire.
11 И даде Соломон Хираму двадесять тысящ мер пшеницы, и пищу дому его, и двадесять тысящ мер елеа чистаго: по сему даваше Соломон Хираму на всяко лето.
Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat for food to his household, and twenty thousand baths of pure oil. Solomon gave this to Hiram year by year.
12 И Господь даде Соломону премудрость, якоже глагола ему. И бе мир между Хирамом и между Соломоном, и положиша завет между собою.
Jehovah gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and the two of them made a covenant.
13 И взя царь дань от всего Израиля, и бе дань тридесять тысящ мужей.
King Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
14 И посла я в Ливан, десять тысящ на месяц в премену: месяц быша в Ливане и два месяца в дому своем: и бяше Адонирам над данию.
He sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses; a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home; and Adoniram was over the men subject to forced labor.
15 И бяше Соломону седмьдесят тысящ носящих бремена и осмьдесят тысящ секущих камение в горе,
Solomon had seventy thousand who bore burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains;
16 кроме старейшин приставленых над делами Соломоними, три тысящы и шесть сот приставник делающих дела.
besides Solomon's chief officers who were over the work, three thousand and six hundred, who bore rule over the people who labored in the work.
17 И заповеда царь, и взяша камение великое, камение честное на основание храма, и камение нетесаное.
The king commanded, and they cut out great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with worked stone.
18 И истесаша сынове Соломони и сынове Хирамли и каменосечцы Гевалстии: и изготовиша камения и древа в три лета.
Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Gebalites cut them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.
