1 Kroniška 22

1 Potem je David rekel: »To je hiša Gospoda Boga in to je oltar žgalne daritve za Izraela.«

And David said, “This is the house of God, and this is the altar for the holocaust of Israel.”

2 David je zapovedal, da zberejo skupaj tujce, ki so bili v Izraelovi deželi in postavil je zidarje, da izklesajo kamne, da zgradijo Božjo hišo.

And he instructed them to gather all the new converts from the land of Israel. And from these he appointed stoneworkers, to hew stones and to polish them, so that he might build the house of God.

3 David je pripravil železa v obilju za žeblje za duri velikih vrat in za vezi in brona v obilju, brez teže.

Also, David prepared very much iron to use for the nails of the gates, and for the seams and joints, as well as an immeasurable weight of brass.

4 Tudi cedrovih dreves v obilju, kajti Sidónci in tisti iz Tira so Davidu prinesli veliko cedrovega lesa.

Also, the cedar trees, which the Sidonians and Tyrians had transported to David, were not able to be counted.

5 David je rekel: »Moj sin Salomon je mlad in nežen, hiša, ki naj se zgradi za Gospoda, pa mora biti silno prekrasna od slovesa in od slave po vseh deželah, zato bom torej naredil priprave zanjo.« Tako je David pred svojo smrtjo [vsega] obilno pripravil.

And David said: “My son Solomon is a young and tender boy. But the house that I desire to be built to the Lord ought to be so great that it is renowned in every region. Therefore, I will prepare what will be necessary for him.” And for this reason, before his death, he prepared all the expenses.

6 Potem je dal poklicati svojega sina Salomona in ga zadolžil, da zgradi hišo za Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga.

And he called for Solomon, his son. And he instructed him to build a house to the Lord, the God of Israel.

7 David je rekel Salomonu: »Moj sin, kar se mene tiče, je bilo v mojih mislih, da zgradim hišo imenu Gospoda, svojega Boga,

And David said to Solomon: “My son, it was my will that I build a house to the name of the Lord my God.

8 toda k meni je prišla Gospodova beseda, rekoč: ›Obilno si prelival kri in storil velike vojne. Ne boš gradil hiše mojemu imenu, ker si v mojem pogledu na zemlji prelil mnogo krvi.

But the word of the Lord came to me, saying: ‘You have shed much blood, and you have battled in many wars. You are not able to build a house to my name, so great was the shedding of blood before me.

9 Glej, rojen ti bo sin, ki bo mož počitka in dal mu bom počitek pred vsemi njegovimi sovražniki naokoli, kajti njegovo ime bo Salomon in jaz bom v njegovih dneh Izraelu dal mir in spokojnost.

The son who shall be born to you will be a very quiet man. For I will cause him to have rest from all his enemies on every side. And for this reason, he shall be called Peaceful. And I will grant peace and tranquility to Israel during all his days.

10 Zgradil bo hišo za moje ime in on bo moj sin in jaz bom njegov oče in jaz bom vzpostavil prestol njegovega kraljestva nad Izraelom na veke.‹

He shall build a house to my name. And he shall be a son to me, and I will be a father to him. And I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel unto eternity.’

11 Sedaj moj sin, Gospod naj bo s teboj in bodi uspešen in zgradi hišo Gospoda, svojega Boga, kakor je govoril o tebi.

Now then, my son, may the Lord be with you, and may you prosper and build a house to the Lord your God, just as he has spoken concerning you.

12 Samo Gospod naj ti da modrost in razumevanje in te zadolži glede Izraela, da se boš lahko držal postave Gospoda, svojega Boga.

Also, may the Lord give you prudence and understanding, so that you may be able to rule Israel and to guard the law of the Lord your God.

13 Potem boš uspel, če paziš, da izpolnjuješ zakone in sodbe, ki jih je Gospod zapovedal Mojzesu glede Izraela. Bodi močan in odločnega poguma. Ne boj se niti ne bodi zaprepaden.

For then you will be able to advance, if you keep the commandments and judgments that the Lord instructed Moses to teach to Israel. Be strengthened and act manfully. You should not fear, and you should not dread.

14 Torej glej, v svoji stiski sem za Gospodovo hišo pripravil sto tisoč talentov zlata in milijon talentov srebra, brona in železa pa brez teže, kajti tega je v obilju. Tudi les in kamenje sem pripravil in ti lahko k temu dodaš.

Behold, in my poverty I have prepared the expenses for the house of the Lord: one hundred thousand talents of gold, and one million of talents of silver. Yet truly, there is no measuring the brass and the iron. For their magnitude is beyond numbering. And I have prepared the timber and the stones for the entire project.

15 Poleg tega je tam s teboj delavcev v obilju, kamnosekov in obdelovalcev kamna in lesa, in vseh vrst spretnih mož za vsako vrsto dela.

Also, you have very many artisans: stoneworkers, and builders of walls, and craftsmen of wood, and those most prudent in doing the work of every art,

16 Zlatu, srebru, bronu in železu ni števila. Vstani torej in delaj in Gospod naj bo s teboj.«

with gold and silver, and with brass and iron, of which there is no number. Therefore, rise up and act. And the Lord will be with you.”

17 David je tudi vsem Izraelovim princem zapovedal, da pomagajo njegovemu sinu Salomonu, rekoč:

Also, David instructed all the leaders of Israel, so that they would assist his son Solomon,

18 » Mar ni z vami Gospod, vaš Bog? In ali vam ni dal počitka na vsaki strani? Kajti prebivalce dežele je izročil v mojo roko in dežela je podjarmljena pred Gospodom in pred njegovim ljudstvom.

saying: “You discern that the Lord your God is with you, and that he has given you rest on all sides, and that he has delivered all your enemies into your hands, and that the land has been subdued before the Lord and before his people.

19 Pripravite torej svoje srce in svojo dušo, da iščete Gospoda, svojega Boga. Vstanite torej in zgradite svetišče Gospodu Bogu, da se prinese skrinja Gospodove zaveze in svete Božje posode v hišo, ki naj bo zgrajena Gospodovemu imenu.«

Therefore, offer your hearts and your souls, so that you seek the Lord your God. And rise up and build a sanctuary to the Lord God, so that the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the vessels consecrated to the Lord, may be brought into the house that is built to the name of the Lord.”
