Вторая книга Паралипоменон 8
1 И бысть по двадесяти летех, в нихже созда Соломон дом Господень и дом свой,
Solomon’s [workers] worked for 20 years to build the temple and the king’s palace.
2 и грады яже даде Хирам Соломону, созда оны Соломон и всели ту сыны Израилевы.
Then his [workers] rebuilt the cities that [King] Hiram had given back to Solomon, and Solomon sent Israelis to live in those cities.
3 И прииде Соломон во Емаф-Сува и одержа его.
Solomon’s [army] then went to Hamath-Zobah [town] and captured it.
4 И созда Федмор в пустыни и вся грады крепкия, яже созда во Емафе.
His workers also rebuilt walls around Tadmor [town] in the desert, and in [the] Hamath [region] in all the towns where they kept supplies.
5 Сострои же Вефорон вышний и Вефорон нижний, грады укреплены стенами, вратами и вереями:
They rebuilt Upper Beth-Horon [town] and Lower Beth-Horon [city], and built walls around them with gates [in the walls] and bars [to fasten the gates].
6 и Валааф, и вся грады крепкия, иже быша Соломону, и вся грады колесниц и грады конник, и елика восхоте Соломон по желанию создати бо Иерусалиме и в Ливане и во всем царстве своем.
They also rebuilt Baalath [town] and all the cities where supplies were kept and the cities where Solomon’s chariots and horses were kept. Solomon’s [workers] built whatever he wanted them to build, in Jerusalem and in Lebanon, and in other places in the area that he ruled.
7 Весь народ оставшийся от Хеттеа и Аморреа, и Ферезеа и Евеа и Иевусеа, иже не бяху от племене Израилева,
Solomon forced people from many other groups who were not Israelis to work for him like slaves. They were people from the Heth, Amor, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups.
8 но беша от сынов их оставшихся по них на земли, ихже не избиша сынове Израилевы, подведе их Соломон в дань даже до дне сего.
They were descendants of groups whom the Israelis had not completely destroyed. Solomon forced them to become his slaves, and they are still slaves.
9 От сынов же Израилевых не даде Соломон в рабы царству своему: тии бо бяху мужие ратницы и князи, и сильнии и началницы колесниц и конник его.
But Solomon did not force Israelis to work for him. Israelis became his soldiers and commanders of his chariots and his chariot-drivers.
10 И сии началницы предстоящих царю Соломону, двести пятьдесят приставницы над делы людскими.
They were also King Solomon’s chief officials. There were 250 of them, and they supervised the workers.
11 Дщерь же Фараоню преведе Соломон от града Давидова в дом, егоже созда ей, рече бо: да не обитает жена моя в дому Давида царя Израилева, понеже освящен есть, аможе вниде кивот Господень.
Solomon moved his wife, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt, from [the place outside Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’ to the place that his workers had built for her. He said, “I do not want my wife to live in the palace that [my father] King David’s workers built, because the Sacred Chest [was in that palace for a while], and any place where the Sacred Chest has been is holy.”
12 Тогда вознесе Соломон всесожжения Господеви на олтарь, егоже созда Господеви пред храмом,
On the altar that Solomon’s [workers] had built in front of the entrance [to the temple], Solomon sacrificed many offerings that were to be completely burned.
13 по словеси от дне до дне возносити, по повелению Моисееву, в субботы и в новомесячия и в праздники, трижды в год, в праздник опресноков и в праздник седмиц и в праздник кущей.
He did that to obey the rules about what sacrifices Moses had declared should be made. These included sacrifices for every day and for the Sabbath days and to celebrate each day on which there was a new moon and for the three other festivals that were celebrated each year. Those festivals were the Festival of Eating Unleavened Bread, the Harvest Festival, and the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters.
14 И постави по разсуждению Давида отца своего разделения священником и по служением их: и левиты над стражами их, да хвалят и служат пред священники по чину единаго коегождо дний: и дверницы по разделением их, по вратом и вратом: тако бо повеле Давид человек Божий.
Obeying what his father David had commanded, he appointed the groups of priests for their work, and he appointed the descendants of Levi to lead the people while they sang to praise Yahweh and while they assisted the priests in their daily work. He also appointed groups of them to guard all the gates, because that was also what David, the man who pleased God [very well], had commanded.
15 Не преступиша заповедий царевых о священницех и левитех по всякому словеси, и в сокровищих.
The priests and other descendants of Levi obeyed completely everything that the king commanded, including [taking care of] the storerooms.
16 И уготовася всяко делание от дне, в оньже основа, до дне, в оньже соверши Соломон дом Господень.
They did all the work [of building the temple] that Solomon told them to do, until it was all completed. So they finishing building the temple.
17 Тогда иде Соломон в Гасионъгавер и во Елаф, иже при мори в земли Идумейстей.
Then some of Solomon’s men went to Ezion-Geber and Elath [cities] on the coast of the Red Sea, an area that belonged to the Edom people-group.
18 И посла Хирам рукою слуг своих корабли и рабы знающыя морския проходы, и хождаху с рабы Соломоними в Софир, и взяша оттуду четыреста и пятьдесят талант злата и принесоша ко царю Соломону.
King Hiram sent to Solomon from [Tyre city] some ships that were commanded by his officers. They were men who were experienced sailors. These men went in the ships with Solomon’s men to [the] Ophir [region] and brought back about 17 tons of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
