< 2 Kroniška 2 >
1 Salomon se je odločil, da zgradi hišo za Gospodovo ime in hišo za svoje kraljestvo.
Now Solomon purposed to build an house for the name of the LORD, and an 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 told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand men that were hewers in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee 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 the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein, [even so deal with 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 an house for the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him incense of sweet spices, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts of the LORD 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 which I 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 an house, seeing the heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an 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.
Now therefore send me a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill to grave [all manner of] gravings, [to be] with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.
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, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon: for I know that thy servants can skill to cut 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 which I am about to build shall be wonderful great.
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 cut 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.‹
Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the LORD loveth his people, he hath 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.
Huram said moreover, Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with discretion and understanding, that should build an house for the LORD, and an house for his kingdom.
13 Sedaj pošiljam spretnega moža, opremljenega z razumevanjem, od mojega očeta Huráma,
And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father’s,
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 his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to devise any device: that there may be [a place] appointed unto him with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David thy father.
15 Zdaj naj torej pšenico, ječmen in vino, o katerem je govoril moj gospod, pošlje svojim služabnikom,
Now therefore 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 numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand and 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 set threescore, and ten thousand of them to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand that were hewers in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people awork.
