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.
Solomon son of David was strengthened in his rule, and Yahweh his God was with him and made him very powerful.
2 Potem je Salomon spregovoril vsemu Izraelu, poveljnikom nad tisočimi, nad stotimi, sodnikom, vsakemu voditelju v vsem Izraelu in glavnim izmed očetov.
Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers' houses.
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.
So Solomon and all the assembly with him went to the high place that was at Gibeon, for there was the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of Yahweh, had 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 from Kiriath Jearim to the place that he had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent 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.
In addition, the bronze altar made by Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur was there before the tabernacle of Yahweh; Solomon and the assembly went to 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.
Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before Yahweh, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it.
7 V tej noči se je Bog prikazal Salomonu in mu rekel: »Prosi, kaj naj ti dam.«
God appeared to Solomon that night and said to him, “Ask! What should I give you?”
8 Salomon je Bogu rekel: »Veliko usmiljenje si pokazal mojemu očetu Davidu in mene si postavil, da kraljujem namesto njega.
Solomon said to God, “You have shown great covenant faithfulness to David my father, and have made me king in his place.
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.
Now, Yahweh God, let your promise to David my father be carried out, for you have made me king over a people as 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 knowledge, so that I may lead this people, for who can judge your people, who are so many in number?”
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,
God said to Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and because you have not asked for riches, wealth, or honor, nor for the life of those who hate you, nor for long life for yourself, but you have asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself, so that you might rule my people, over whom I have made you king, and this is what I will do.
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 will now give you wisdom and knowledge. I will also give you riches, wealth, and honor, as none of the kings had before you, and none after you will have.”
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.
So Solomon came to Jerusalem from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting; he 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.
Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen, and he had 1,400 chariots and twelve thousand horsemen that he placed in the chariot cities, and with himself, 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.
The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as the stones, and he made cedar wood as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowlands.
16 Salomon je imel konje, privedene iz Egipta in laneno prejo. Kraljevi trgovci so laneno prejo prejeli za ceno.
As for the importation of horses from Egypt and Kue for Solomon, his merchants bought them from Kue at a price.
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.
They imported a chariot from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for 150 shekels. They also exported them to the kings of the Hittites and the Arameans.
