2 Kroniška 1
1 Davidov sin Salomon je bil okrepljen v svojem kraljestvu in Gospod, njegov Bog, je bil z njim in ga silno poveličal.
And Solomon the son of David was established over his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and increased him exceedingly.
2 Potem je Salomon spregovoril vsemu Izraelu, poveljnikom nad tisočimi, nad stotimi, sodnikom, vsakemu voditelju v vsem Izraelu in glavnim izmed očetov.
And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands, and to the captains of hundreds, and to the judges, and to all the rulers over Israel, even the heads of the families;
3 Tako je Salomon in vsa skupnost z njim, odšla k visokemu kraju, ki je bil pri Gibeónu, kajti tam je bilo šotorsko svetišče skupnosti Boga, ki ga je Gospodov služabnik Mojzes naredil v divjini.
and Solomon and all the congregation went to the high place that was in Gabaon, where was God's tabernacle of witness, which Moses the servant of the Lord made in the wilderness.
4 Toda Božjo skrinjo je David prenesel gor iz Kirját Jearíma na kraj, ki ga je David pripravil zanjo, kajti zanjo je razpel šotor pri Jeruzalemu.
But David had brought up the ark of God out of the city of Cariathiarim; for David had prepared a place for it, for he had pitched a tabernacle for it in Jerusalem.
5 Poleg tega je bronast oltar, ki ga je naredil Becalél, Urijájev sin, Hurov sin, postavil pred Gospodovo šotorsko svetišče. Salomon in skupnost so povpraševali k njemu.
And the brazen altar which Beseleel the son of Urias, the son of Or, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord: and Solomon and the congregation enquired at it.
6 Salomon je odšel tja gor k bronastemu oltarju pred Gospoda, ki je bil pri šotorskem svetišču skupnosti in na njem daroval tisoč žgalnih daritev.
And Solomon brought [victims] there to the brazen altar that was before the Lord in the tabernacle, and offered upon it a thousand whole burnt offerings.
7 V tej noči se je Bog prikazal Salomonu in mu rekel: »Prosi, kaj naj ti dam.«
In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give you.
8 Salomon je Bogu rekel: »Veliko usmiljenje si pokazal mojemu očetu Davidu in mene si postavil, da kraljujem namesto njega.
And Solomon said to God, You have dealt very mercifully with my father David, and have made me king in his stead.
9 Sedaj, oh Gospod Bog, naj bo utrjena tvoja obljuba mojemu očetu Davidu, kajti naredil si me za kralja nad ljudstvom, po množici podobnega zemeljskemu prahu.
And now, O Lord God, let, I pray you, your name be established upon David my father; for you have made me king over a people numerous as the dust of the earth.
10 Daj mi torej modrost in znanje, da lahko grem ven in stopim pred ljudstvo, kajti kdo lahko sodi to tvoje ljudstvo, ki je tako veliko?«
Now give me wisdom and understanding, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who shall judge this your great people?
11 Bog je rekel Salomonu: »Ker je bilo to na tvojem srcu in nisi prosil bogastev, premoženja ali časti, niti življenja svojih sovražnikov, niti nisi prosil dolgega življenja, temveč si zase prosil modrost in znanje, da lahko sodiš mojemu ljudstvu, nad katerim sem te postavil za kralja,
And God said to Solomon, Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked great wealth, nor glory, nor the life of your enemies, and you have not asked long life; but have asked for yourself wisdom and understanding, that you might judge my people, over whom I have made you king:
12 sta ti modrost in znanje zagotovljena, jaz pa ti bom dal bogastva, premoženje in čast, takšno, kakršne nihče izmed kraljev, ki so bili pred teboj, ni imel niti ne bo nobeden za teboj imel podobne.«
I give you this wisdom and understanding; and I will give you wealth, and riches, and glory, so that there shall not have been [any] like you among the kings before you, neither shall there be such after you.
13 Potem je Salomon prišel iz svojega potovanja k visokemu kraju, izpred šotorskega svetišča skupnosti, ki je bil pri Gibeónu, v Jeruzalem in kraljeval nad Izraelom.
And Solomon came from the high place that was in Gabaon to Jerusalem, [from] before the tabernacle of witness, and reigned over Israel.
14 Salomon je zbral bojne vozove in konjenike. Imel je tisoč štiristo bojnih vozov in dvanajst tisoč konjenikov, ki jih je namestil v mestih za bojne vozove in s kraljem v Jeruzalemu.
And Solomon collected chariots and horsemen: and he had fourteen hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen: and he set them in the cities of chariots, and the people [were] with the king in Jerusalem.
15 Kralj je storil, [da je bilo] srebra in zlata v Jeruzalemu zaradi obilja tako veliko, kakor kamenja in cedrova drevesa je naredil [tako številna] kakor je egiptovskih smokev, ki so v dolini.
And the king made silver and gold in Jerusalem [to be] as stones, and cedars in Judea as sycamores in the plain for multitude.
16 Salomon je imel konje, privedene iz Egipta in laneno prejo. Kraljevi trgovci so laneno prejo prejeli za ceno.
And Solomon imported horses from Egypt, and the charge of the king's merchants for going [was as follows], and they traded,
17 Poslali so in iz Egipta pripeljali bojni voz za šeststo šeklov srebra in konja za sto petdeset in tako so privedli konje za vse kralje Hetejcev in za sirske kralje, po njihovih namenih.
and went and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred [pieces] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty [pieces] of silver: and so they brought for all the kings of the Chettites, and for the kings of Syria by their means.
