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.
Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon for he had heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father; for Hiram had always loved David.
2 Salomon je poslal k Hirámu, rekoč:
Solomon sent word to Hiram, saying,
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.
“You know that David my father could not build a house for the name of Yahweh his God because of the wars that surrounded him, for during his lifetime Yahweh was putting his enemies under the soles of his feet.
4 Toda sedaj mi je Gospod, moj Bog, dal počitek na vsaki strani, tako da ni niti nasprotnika niti zlih dogodkov.
But now, Yahweh my God has given me rest on every side. There is neither adversary nor disaster.
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 intend to build a temple for the name of Yahweh my God, as Yahweh spoke to David my father, saying, 'Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, will build the temple for my name.'
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.‹«
Now therefore command that they cut cedars from Lebanon for me. My servants will join your servants, and I will pay you for your servants so that you are paid fairly for everything you agreed to do. For you know there is no one among us 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 the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly and said, “May Yahweh be blessed today, who has given to David a wise son over this great people.”
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 word to Solomon, saying, “I have heard the message that you have sent to me. I will provide all the wood of cedar and cypress that you desire.
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 servants will bring the trees down from Lebanon to the sea, and I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place that you direct me. I will have them broken up there, and you will take them away. You will do what I desire by giving food for my household.”
10 Tako je Hirám dajal Salomonu cedrov les in cipresov les glede na vse njegove želje.
So Hiram gave Solomon all the timber of cedar and fir that he desired.
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 twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household and twenty measures of pure oil. Solomon gave this to Hiram year by year.
12 Gospod je dal Salomonu modrost, kakor mu je obljubil in bil je mir med Hirámom in Salomonom in onadva sta sklenila zavezo.
Yahweh gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him. There was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a covenant.
13 Kralj Salomon je zbral dajatev obveznega dela iz vsega Izraela, in dajatev obveznega dela je bila trideset tisoč mož.
King Solomon conscripted labor out of all Israel. The forced laborers numbered thirty thousand men.
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 to Lebanon, ten thousand a month in shifts. One month they were in Lebanon and two months at home. Adoniram was over the men who were subjected to forced labor.
15 Salomon jih je imel sedemdeset tisoč, ki so nosili bremena in osemdeset tisoč sekalcev v gorah,
Solomon had seventy thousand who carried burdens and eighty thousand who were stonecutters in the mountains,
16 poleg glavnih Salomonovih častnikov, ki so bili nad delom, tri tisoč tristo, ki so vladali nad ljudstvom, ki je opravljalo delo.
besides Solomon's 3,300 chief officers who were over the work and who supervised the workers.
17 Kralj je zapovedal in prinesli so velike kamne, drage kamne, klesane kamne, da hiši položijo temelj.
At the king's command they quarried large stones of high quality with which to lay the foundation of the temple.
18 Salomonovi graditelji, Hirámovi graditelji in kamnoseki so jih klesali. Tako so pripravili les in kamne, da zgradijo hišo.
So Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Gebalites did the cutting and prepared the timber and the stones to build the temple.
