< 2 Kroniška 2 >
1 Salomon se je odločil, da zgradi hišo za Gospodovo ime in hišo za svoje kraljestvo.
And Solomon purposed to build a house for the name of Jehovah, 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 numbered seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand stone-masons in the mountain, and three thousand six hundred to superintend 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 Huram king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him a house to dwell therein [so do for me].
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 build a house unto the name of Jehovah my God to dedicate it to him, to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual arrangement [of the shewbread], and for the morning and evening burnt-offerings [and] on the sabbaths and on the new moons, and on the set feasts of Jehovah our God. This is [an ordinance] for ever to Israel.
5 Hiša, ki jo gradim, je velika, kajti velik je naš Bog nad vsemi bogovi.
And the house that I will build is great; for great is our God above 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?
But who is able to build him a house, seeing the heavens and the heaven of heavens cannot contain him? And who am I that I should build him a house, except to burn sacrifice 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 skilful to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze, and in iron, and in purple and crimson and blue, and experienced in carving, besides the skilful men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.
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,
Send me also cedar-trees, cypress-trees, and sandal-wood trees, out of Lebanon; for I know that thy servants are experienced in cutting timber in Lebanon; and behold, my servants shall be with thy servants,
9 celo, da mi pripravijo lesa v obilju, kajti hiša, ki jo nameravam zgraditi, bo čudovito velika.
even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house that I build shall be great and wonderful.
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 will give to thy servants the hewers that fell timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths 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 Huram king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because Jehovah loved his people, he made thee 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 Huram said, Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, that made the heavens and the earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, who will build a house for Jehovah and a house for his kingdom.
13 Sedaj pošiljam spretnega moža, opremljenega z razumevanjem, od mojega očeta Huráma,
And now, I send a skilful man, endued with understanding, Huram Abi,
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.
the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and whose father was a man of Tyre, experienced in working in gold, and in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in byssus, and in crimson, and for doing any manner of engraving, and for inventing every device which shall be put to him, besides thy skilful men, and the skilful men of my lord David thy 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, the oil and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto 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 wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need; and we will bring it to thee [in] floats by sea to Joppa, and thou shalt carry it up 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 numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the account that David his father had taken of them, and there were found a hundred and fifty-three thousand 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 set seventy thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and eighty thousand to be stone-masons in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred overseers to set the people to work.
