2 Kroniška 2

1 Salomon se je odločil, da zgradi hišo za Gospodovo ime in hišo za svoje kraljestvo.

And Solomon said that he would build a house to the name of the Lord, and a house for his kingdom.

2 Salomon je naročil sedemdeset tisoč možem, da nosijo bremena in osemdeset tisočim, da sekajo na gori in tri tisoč šeststotim, da jih nadzorujejo.

And Solomon gathered seventy thousand men that bore burdens, and eighty thousand hewers of stone in the mountain, and [there were] three thousand and six hundred superintendents over them.

3 Salomon je poslal k tirskemu kralju Hurámu, rekoč: »Kakor si ti postopal z mojim očetom Davidom in si mu poslal cedre, da mu zgradijo hišo, da prebiva v njej, celo tako postopaj z menoj.

And Solomon sent to Chiram king of Tyre, saying, Whereas you did deal [favourably] with David my father, and did send him cedars to build for himself a house to dwell in,

4 Glej, gradim hišo imenu Gospoda, svojega Boga, da mu jo posvetim in da pred njim zažigam dišeče kadilo in za neprestane hlebe navzočnosti, za žgalne daritve zjutraj in zvečer, na šabate, na mlaje in na slovesne praznike Gospoda, našega Boga. To je odredba za Izraela na veke.

behold, I also his son am building a house to the name of the Lord my God, to consecrate it to him, to burn incense before him, and [to offer] show bread continually, and to offer up whole burnt offerings continually morning and evening, and on the sabbaths, and at the new moons, and at the feasts of the Lord our God: this [is] a perpetual [statute] for Israel.

5 Hiša, ki jo gradim, je velika, kajti velik je naš Bog nad vsemi bogovi.

And the house which I am building [is to be] great: for the Lord our God [is] great beyond all gods.

6 Toda kdo mu je zmožen zgraditi hišo, glede na to, da ga nebo in nebesa nebes ne morejo obseči? Kdo sem potem jaz, da bi mu zgradil hišo, razen da pred njim zažigam daritev?

And who will be able to build him a house? for the heaven and heaven of heavens do not bear his glory: and who am I, that I should build him a house, save only to burn incense before him?

7 Pošlji mi torej sedaj človeka, spretnega za delo v zlatu, v srebru, v bronu, v železu, v vijolični, v karmezinu in modri in da lahko vešče rezbari z veščimi možmi, ki so z menoj v Judeji in v Jeruzalemu, ki jih je priskrbel moj oče David.

And now send me a man wise and skilled to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and in scarlet, and in blue, and one that knows how to grave together with the craftsmen who are with me in Juda and in Jerusalem, which materials my father David prepared.

8 Pošlji mi tudi cedrovino, cipresovino in sandalovino iz Libanona, kajti vem, da tvoji služabniki lahko vešče sekajo les na Libanonu in glej, moji služabniki bodo s tvojimi služabniki,

And send me from Libanus cedar wood, and wood of juniper, and pine; for I know that your servants are skilled in cutting timber in Libanus: and, behold, your servants shall go with my servants,

9 celo, da mi pripravijo lesa v obilju, kajti hiša, ki jo nameravam zgraditi, bo čudovito velika.

to prepare timber for me in abundance: for the house which I am building [must be] great and glorious.

10 Glej, tvojim služabnikom, sekalcem, ki sekajo les, bom dajal dvajset tisoč mer zmlete pšenice, dvajset tisoč mer ječmena, dvajset tisoč čebrov vina in dvajset tisoč čebrov olja.«

And, behold, I have given freely to your servants that work and cut the wood, corn for food, [even] twenty thousand measures of wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand measures of wine, and twenty thousand measures of oil.

11 Potem je tirski kralj Hurám odgovoril v pisanju, ki ga je poslal Salomonu: ›Ker Gospod ljubi svoje ljudstvo, te je naredil kralja nad njimi.‹

And Chiram king of Tyre answered in writing, and sent to Solomon, saying, Because the Lord loved his people, he made you king over them.

12 Poleg tega je Hurám rekel: »Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, Izraelov Bog, ki je naredil nebo in zemljo, ki je kralju Davidu dal modrega sina, opremljenega z razumnostjo in razumevanjem, da lahko gradi hišo za Gospoda in hišo za svoje kraljestvo.

And Chiram said, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who has given to king David a wise son, and one endowed with knowledge and understanding, who shall build a house for the Lord, and a house for his kingdom.

13 Sedaj pošiljam spretnega moža, opremljenega z razumevanjem, od mojega očeta Huráma,

And now I have sent you a wise and understanding man [who belonged] to Chiram my father

14 sina ženske izmed Danovih hčera, njegov oče pa je bil človek iz Tira, vešč, da dela v zlatu, srebru, bronu, železu, kamnu, lesu, vijoličnem, modrem, tankem lanenem platnu in v karmezinu. Tudi da gravira vsako vrsto graviranja in da spozna vsako napravo, ki bo postavljena k njemu, s tvojimi spretnimi ljudmi in s spretnimi ljudmi mojega gospoda Davida, tvojega očeta.

(his mother [was] of the daughters of Dan, and his father [was] a Tyrian), skilled to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in stones and wood; and to weave with purple, and blue, and fine linen, and scarlet; and to engrave, and to understand every device, whatever you shall give him [to do] with your craftsmen, and the craftsmen of my lord David your father.

15 Zdaj naj torej pšenico, ječmen in vino, o katerem je govoril moj gospod, pošlje svojim služabnikom,

And now, the wheat, and the barley, and the oil, and the wine which my lord mentioned, let him send to his servants.

16 mi pa bomo sekali les iz Libanona, kolikor ga boš potreboval in ga k tebi spravili na splavih po morju v Jopo, ti pa ga boš odpeljal gor v Jeruzalem.«

And we will cut timber out of Libanus according to all your need, and we will bring it on rafts to the sea of Joppa, and you shall bring it to Jerusalem.

17 Salomon je preštel vse tujce, ki so bili v deželi Izrael, po štetju, s katerim jih je preštel njegov oče David in najdenih je bilo sto triinpetdeset tisoč šeststo.

And Solomon gathered all the foreigners that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father numbered them; and there were found a hundred and fifty-three thousand and six hundred.

18 Sedemdeset tisoč izmed njih je postavil, da bodo nosilci bremen in osemdeset tisoč, da bodo sekalci na gori in tri tisoč šeststo nadzornikov, da ljudstvu pripravljajo delo.

And he made of them seventy thousand burden-bearers, and eighty thousand hewers of stone, and three thousand and six hundred taskmasters over the people.
