1 Kralji 5
1 Tirski kralj Hirám je svoje služabnike poslal k Salomonu, kajti slišal je, da so ga mazilili [za] kralja namesto njegovega očeta, kajti Hirám je bil vedno Davidov oboževalec.
When Hiram king of Tyre heard that Solomon had been anointed king to succeed his father, he sent ambassadors to Solomon because Hiram had always been David's friend.
2 Salomon je poslal k Hirámu, rekoč:
So Solomon sent this message back to Hiram,
3 »Ti veš, da moj oče David ni mogel zgraditi hiše imenu Gospoda, svojega Boga, zaradi vojn, ki so bile okoli njega na vsaki strani, dokler jih ni Gospod položil pod podplate njegovih stopal.
“As you know, my father David was not able to build a Temple to honor the Lord his God because of the wars fought against him from every direction, until the Lord had conquered his enemies.
4 Toda sedaj mi je Gospod, moj Bog, dal počitek na vsaki strani, tako da ni niti nasprotnika niti zlih dogodkov.
But now the Lord my God has given me peace all around—no enemies, no bad things happening.
5 Glej, namenil sem se zgraditi hišo imenu Gospoda, svojega Boga, kakor je Gospod spregovoril mojemu očetu Davidu, rekoč: ›Tvoj sin, ki ga bom namesto tebe postavil na tvoj prestol, on bo zgradil hišo mojemu imenu.
So I plan to build a Temple to honor the Lord my God, as the Lord told my father David. He said to him, ‘Your son whom I will place on your throne to succeed you will build the Temple to honor me.’
6 Zdaj torej zapovej, da mi iz Libanona posekajo cedrova drevesa in moji služabniki bodo s tvojimi služabniki in dal ti bom plačilo za tvoje služabnike, glede na vse, kar mi boš določil; kajti veš, da med nami ni nobenega, ki tako vešče seka les kot Sidónci.‹«
So please order some cedars of Lebanon to be cut down for me. My workers will assist your workers, and I will pay your workers at the rate that you decide, for you know that we don't have anyone who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians.”
7 Ko je Hirám slišal Salomonove besede, se je pripetilo, da se je silno razveselil in rekel: »Blagoslovljen bodi ta dan Gospod, ki je Davidu dal modrega sina nad tem velikim ljudstvom.«
When Hiram heard Solomon's message, he was very happy and said, “Praise the Lord today, for he has given David a wise son to lead this great nation!”
8 In Hirám je poslal k Salomonu, rekoč: »Preudaril sem stvari, zaradi katerih pošiljaš k meni in izpolnil bom vso tvojo željo glede cedrovega lesa in glede cipresovega lesa.
Hiram sent this reply to Solomon: “Thank you for your message. As for the cedar and cypress timber, I will do everything you want.
9 Moji služabniki ga bodo spravljali dol iz Libanona do morja in po morju ga bom spravljal v splavih na mesto, ki mi ga boš določil in povzročim jim, da bodo tam razvezani in jih boš sprejel, ti pa boš izpolnil mojo željo, da mi daješ hrano za mojo družino.«
My workers will bring the logs down from Lebanon to the sea, and I will have them floated in rafts by sea to wherever you decide. I will have the rafts broken apart there, and you can take the logs away. In return I would like you to provide food for my household.”
10 Tako je Hirám dajal Salomonu cedrov les in cipresov les glede na vse njegove želje.
So Hiram provided Solomon with as much cedar and cypress timber that he wanted,
11 Salomon je dajal Hirámu dvajset tisoč mer pšenice za hrano njegovi družini in dvajset mer čistega olja. Tako je Salomon dajal Hirámu leto za letom.
Solomon gave Hiram 20,000 cors of wheat for food and 20,000 cors of olive oil for his household. Solomon provided this to Hiram every year.
12 Gospod je dal Salomonu modrost, kakor mu je obljubil in bil je mir med Hirámom in Salomonom in onadva sta sklenila zavezo.
The Lord gave Solomon wisdom just as he had promised him. Hiram and Solomon had a good relationship and they made a peace treaty with each other.
13 Kralj Salomon je zbral dajatev obveznega dela iz vsega Izraela, in dajatev obveznega dela je bila trideset tisoč mož.
King Solomon drafted a labor force of 30,000 from all of Israel.
14 Pošiljal jih je k Libanonu, deset tisoč na mesec, v izmenah. En mesec so bili na Libanonu in dva meseca doma. Adonirám pa je bil nad dajatvijo obveznega dela.
He sent them in shifts of 10,000 each month to Lebanon, so that they were one month in Lebanon and two months at home, Adoniram was in charge of the labor force.
15 Salomon jih je imel sedemdeset tisoč, ki so nosili bremena in osemdeset tisoč sekalcev v gorah,
Solomon had 70,000 porters and 80,000 stonecutters in the hill country,
16 poleg glavnih Salomonovih častnikov, ki so bili nad delom, tri tisoč tristo, ki so vladali nad ljudstvom, ki je opravljalo delo.
as well as 3,300 foremen he placed in charge of the workers.
17 Kralj je zapovedal in prinesli so velike kamne, drage kamne, klesane kamne, da hiši položijo temelj.
Following the king's orders, they quarried large blocks of stone that were expensive to produce, and laid these dressed stones as the foundation for the Temple.
18 Salomonovi graditelji, Hirámovi graditelji in kamnoseki so jih klesali. Tako so pripravili les in kamne, da zgradijo hišo.
So Solomon's and Hiram's builders, together with the Gebalites, cut the stone. They prepared the timber and stone to build the Temple.
