1 Kralji 9
1 Pripetilo se je, ko je Salomon dokončal gradnjo Gospodove hiše, kraljeve hiše in vsega, kar je Salomon želel, kar mu je ugajalo storiti,
After Solomon had finished the Lord's Temple and the royal palace, having accomplished everything he'd wanted to do,
2 da se je Gospod drugič prikazal Salomonu, kakor se mu je prikazal pri Gibeónu.
the Lord appeared to him a second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
3 Gospod mu je rekel: »Slišal sem tvojo molitev in tvojo ponižno prošnjo, ki si jo storil pred menoj. Jaz sem posvetil to hišo, ki si jo zgradil, da tja na veke postavim svoje ime in moje oči in moje srce bodo neprestano tam.
The Lord told him, “I have heard your prayer and your request to me. I have dedicated this Temple you have built by placing my name on it forever; I will always watch over it and take care of it.
4 Če boš hodil pred menoj, kakor je hodil tvoj oče David, v neokrnjenosti srca in v poštenosti, da storiš glede na vse, kar sem ti zapovedal in da boš ohranjal moje zakone in moje sodbe,
As for you, if you follow my ways as your father David did, doing everything I've told you to do, and if you keep my laws and regulations,
5 potem bom na veke utrdil prestol tvojega kraljestva nad Izraelom, kakor sem obljubil tvojemu očetu Davidu, rekoč: ›Ne bo ti manjkal mož na Izraelovem prestolu.‹
then I will make your throne secure forever. I made this agreement with your father David, telling him, ‘You will always have a descendant to rule over Israel.’
6 Toda če se boste obrnili od sledenja meni, vi ali vaši otroci in ne boste ohranjali mojih zapovedi in mojih zakonov, ki sem jih postavil pred vas, temveč boste šli in služili drugim bogovom in jih oboževali,
But if you or your descendants turn away and do not keep the laws and the commandments I have given you, and if you go and serve and worship other gods,
7 potem bom Izraela odsekal iz dežele, ki sem jim jo dal in to hišo, ki sem jo posvetil za svoje ime, bom vrgel iz svojega pogleda in Izrael bo med vsemi ljudstvi pregovor in tarča posmeha.
then I will cut Israel off from the land I have given them. I will banish from my presence this Temple I have dedicated to my honor, and I will make it an object lesson of ridicule among the nations.
8 In ob tej hiši, ki je visoka, bo vsak, kdor gre mimo nje, osupel in bo sikal. Rekli bodo: ›Zakaj je Gospod tako storil tej deželi in tej hiši?‹
This Temple will become a pile of rubble. All who pass by it will be appalled and will hiss, saying, ‘Why has the Lord acted in such a way to this land and this Temple?’
9 Odgovorili bodo: ›Ker so zapustili Gospoda, svojega Boga, ki je njihove očete privedel ven iz egiptovske dežele in so se oprijeli drugih bogov, jih oboževali in jim služili, zato je Gospod nadnje privedel vse to zlo.‹
The answer will come, ‘Because they abandoned the Lord their God, who brought their forefathers out of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping them and serving them. That's why the Lord has brought all this trouble upon them.’”
10 Pripetilo se je ob koncu dvajsetih let, ko je Salomon zgradil dve hiši, Gospodovo hišo in kraljevo hišo,
It took twenty years for Solomon to construct the two buildings—the Temple of the Lord and his own palace. After this,
11 ( torej tirski kralj Hirám je Salomona opremil s cedrovim lesom, cipresovim lesom in z zlatom, glede na vso njegovo željo) da je nató kralj Salomon Hirámu dal dvajset mest v galilejski deželi.
King Solomon gave twenty towns in Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, because Hiram had provided him with all the cedar and juniper and gold he wanted.
12 Hirám je prišel iz Tira, da bi videl mesta, ki mu jih je Salomon dal. Le-ta pa mu niso ugajala.
But when Hiram went from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him, he was not happy with them.
13 Rekel je: »Kakšna so ta mesta, ki si mi jih dal, moj brat?« Imenoval jih je dežela Kabúl do tega dne.
“What are these towns you have given me, my brother?” asked Hiram. He called them the land of Cabul, the name they are known by to this day.
14 Hirám je poslal h kralju sto dvajset talentov zlata.
Even so, Hiram sent the king 120 talents of gold in payment.
15 In to je razlog dajatve obveznega dela, ki ga je dvignil kralj Salomon, da zgradi Gospodovo hišo, svojo lastno hišo, Miló, jeruzalemsko obzidje, Hacór, Megído in Gezer.
Here is the account of the forced labor that King Solomon imposed to build the Lord's Temple, his own palace, the terraces, and the wall of Jerusalem, as well as Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
16 Kajti faraon, egiptovski kralj, je odšel gor, zavzel Gezer, ga požgal z ognjem in umoril Kánaance, ki so prebivali v mestu in ga dal za darilo svoji hčeri, Salomonovi ženi.
Pharaoh, king of Egypt, had attacked and captured Gezer. He had set it on fire, killed the Canaanites living in the town. He had then given it as a wedding dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife.
17 Salomon je zgradil Gezer, spodnji Bet Horón,
Solomon rebuilt Gezer and lower Beth-horon,
18 Baalát, Tadmór v divjini, v deželi
Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land of Judah,
19 in vsa skladiščna mesta, ki jih je imel Salomon in mesta za njegove bojne vozove in mesta za njegove konjenike in to, kar je Salomon želel, da zgradi v Jeruzalemu, na Libanonu in po vsej deželi svojega gospostva.
and all of Solomon's towns for storage, and the towns for his chariots and for his horsemen, plus whatever Solomon wanted to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and throughout his entire kingdom.
20 Na vse ljudstvo, ki je preostalo od Amoréjcev, Hetejcev, Perizéjcev, Hivéjcev in Jebusejcev, ki niso bili od Izraelovih otrok,
The descendants of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites (people who were not Israelites)
21 na njihove otroke, ki so za njimi preostali v deželi, ki jih Izraelovi otroci niso mogli popolnoma uničiti, je Salomon naložil dajatev davka prisilnega dela do tega dne.
who remained in the land—those whom the Israelites were unable to destroy completely—were conscripted by Solomon to work as forced laborers, as they continue to do to this day.
22 Toda izmed Izraelovih otrok Salomon ni naredil nobenega sužnja, temveč so bili bojevniki, njegovi služabniki, njegovi princi, njegovi poveljniki, vodje njegovih bojnih voz in njegovi konjeniki.
But Solomon did not enslave any of the Israelites. They were his soldiers, officials, commanders, captains, chariot commanders, and horsemen.
23 Ti so bili glavni častniki, ki so bili nad Salomonovim delom, petsto petdeset, ki so nadzorovali ljudstvo, ki je opravljalo delo.
They were also the chief officers in charge of Solomon's programs: 550 in command of the people who carried out the work.
24 Toda faraonova hči je prišla gor iz Davidovega mesta k svoji hiši, ki jo je Salomon zgradil zanjo. Potem je zgradil Miló.
Once Pharaoh's daughter had moved from the City of David to the palace that Solomon had built for her, he built the city terraces.
25 Trikrat na leto je Salomon daroval žgalne daritve in mirovne daritve na oltarju, ki ga je zgradil Gospodu in zažgal je kadilo na oltarju, ki je bil pred Gospodom. Tako je dokončal hišo.
Three times each year Solomon sacrificed burnt offerings and friendship offerings on the altar he had built for the Lord, burning incense before the Lord with them, and so fulfilled what was required at the Temple.
26 Kralj Salomon je naredil floto ladij v Ecjón Geberju, ki je poleg Elota, na obali Rdečega morja, v edómski deželi.
King Solomon built a fleet of ships at Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
27 Hirám je s Salomonovimi služabniki poslal v floto svoje služabnike, pomorščake, ki so imeli znanje o morju.
Hiram sent his sailors who knew the sea to serve in the fleet with Solomon's men.
28 Prišli so do Ofírja in od tam vzeli zlato, štiristo dvajset talentov in to prinesli h kralju Salomonu.
They sailed to Ophir and brought back 420 talents of gold from there and delivered it to Solomon.
