2 Kroniška 8
1 Pripetilo se je ob koncu dvajsetih let, v katerih je Salomon zgradil Gospodovo hišo in svojo lastno hišo,
It had taken twenty years for Solomon to build the Temple of the Lord and his own palace.
2 da je mesta, ki jih je Hurám povrnil Salomonu, Salomon pozidal in Izraelovim otrokom velel, da prebivajo tam.
Solomon rebuilt the towns Hiram had given him, and sent Israelites to live there.
3 Salomon je odšel v Hamát Cobo in prevladal zoper njo.
Then Solomon attacked Hamath-zobah and captured it.
4 Zgradil je Tadmór v divjini in vsa skladiščna mesta, ki jih je zgradil v Hamátu.
He built Tadmor in the wilderness and also built all the storehouse towns in Hamath.
5 Zgradil je tudi zgornji Bet Horón in spodnji Bet Horón, utrjeni mesti, z obzidji, velikimi vrati in zapahi,
He rebuilt Upper and Lower Beth-horon, fortified cities with walls and barred gates,
6 ter Baalát in vsa skladiščna mesta, ki jih je imel Salomon in vsa mesta bojnih vozov in mesta konjenikov in vse, kar je Salomon želel zgraditi v Jeruzalemu, na Libanonu in po vsej deželi svojega gospostva.
and also Baalath. He built all the storehouse towns that belonged to him, and all the towns where he kept his chariots and horses. He built everything he wanted to in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout his entire kingdom.
7 Glede vsega ljudstva, ki je preostalo od Hetejcev, Amoréjcev, Perizéjcev, Hivéjcev in Jebusejcev, ki niso bili iz Izraela,
There were some people who remained in the land: the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—people who were not Israelites.
8 temveč od njihovih otrok, ki so za njimi ostali v deželi, katerih Izraelovi otroci niso ugonobili, te je Salomon primoral, da plačujejo davek do tega dne.
They were the remaining descendants of the peoples that the Israelites had not destroyed. Solomon made them work as forced laborers, as they are to this day.
9 Toda izmed Izraelovih otrok Salomon ni naredil nobenega služabnika za svoje delo, temveč so bili bojevniki, vodje poveljnikov, poveljniki njegovih bojnih vozov in konjeniki.
But Solomon did not make any of the Israelites work as slaves. Instead, they were his military men, his officers, and commanders of his chariots and horsemen.
10 Ti so bili vodje častnikov kralja Salomona, celó dvesto petdeset, ki so nadzorovali ljudstvo.
They were also King Solomon's chief officers, 250 men who supervised the people.
11 Salomon je iz Davidovega mesta privedel gor faraonovo hčer v hišo, ki jo je zgradil zanjo, kajti rekel je: »Moja žena ne bo prebivala v hiši Izraelovega kralja Davida, ker so prostori, kamor je prišla Gospodova skrinja, sveti.«
Solomon moved Pharaoh's daughter from the City of David to the palace he had built for her. For he said, “My wife cannot live in the palace of David king of Israel, because wherever the Ark of the Lord has gone are holy places.”
12 Potem je Salomon daroval žgalne daritve Gospodu, na Gospodovem oltarju, ki ga je zgradil pred preddverjem,
Then Solomon presented burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of the Lord he had built in front of the Temple's porch.
13 celo po določeni meri so vsak dan darovali glede na Mojzesovo zapoved na šabate, na mlaje, na slovesne praznike, trikrat letno, torej na praznik nekvašenega kruha, na praznik tednov in na šotorski praznik.
He followed the requirement for daily offerings as Moses had ordered for Sabbaths, new moons, and the three annual festivals—the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Shelters.
14 Glede na red svojega očeta Davida je določil skupine duhovnikov k njihovi službi in Lévijevce k njihovim zadolžitvam, da hvalijo in služijo pred duhovniki, kakor je zahtevala dolžnost vsakega dne. Tudi vratarje po njihovih skupinah pri vsakih velikih vratih, kajti tako je zapovedal David, Božji mož.
Following the instructions of his father David, he assigned the divisions of the priests for their service, and the Levites in their responsibilities to offer praise, and to help the priests in their daily duties. He also assigned gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate as David, the man of God, had instructed.
15 Niso se odvrnili od kraljeve zapovedi glede katerekoli zadeve duhovnikov in Lévijevcev ali glede zakladnic.
They followed David's instructions exactly regarding the priests, the Levites, and anything to do with the treasuries.
16 Torej vse Salomonovo delo je bilo pripravljeno do dneva [položitve] temelja Gospodove hiše in dokler ta ni bila dokončana. Tako je bila Gospodova hiša popolna.
This is how all Solomon's work was carried out, from the day the foundation was laid for the Lord's Temple until it was finished. So the Lord's Temple was completed.
17 Potem je Salomon odšel v Ecjón Geber in v Elot pri morski obali v edómski deželi.
After this Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast of the land of Edom.
18 Hurám mu je po roki svojih služabnikov poslal ladje in služabnike, ki so imeli znanje o morju, in ti so s Salomonovimi služabniki odšli v Ofír in od tam vzeli štiristo petdeset talentov zlata ter jih prinesli kralju Salomonu.
Hiram sent him ships under the command of his own officers, along with experienced sailors. They went with Solomon's men to Ophir where they loaded 450 talents of gold, which they then brought back to King Solomon.
