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, strengthened his hold over the kingdom, and the Lord God was with him and made him extremely powerful.
2 Potem je Salomon spregovoril vsemu Izraelu, poveljnikom nad tisočimi, nad stotimi, sodnikom, vsakemu voditelju v vsem Izraelu in glavnim izmed očetov.
Solomon sent for all the Israelite leaders, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every family leader.
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.
Solomon went with the whole assembly to the high place at Gibeon, for this was the site of God's Tent of Meeting that Moses, the Lord's servant, 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.
David had brought up the Ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the place in Jerusalem where he had set up a tent for it.
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.
However, the bronze altar made by Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, was there in front of the Tent of the Lord, so that is where Solomon and the assembly went to worship.
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 to the bronze altar before the Lord, in front of the Tent of Meeting. There he presented one thousand burnt offerings.
7 V tej noči se je Bog prikazal Salomonu in mu rekel: »Prosi, kaj naj ti dam.«
That night God appeared to Solomon and told him, “Ask what you want me to give you.”
8 Salomon je Bogu rekel: »Veliko usmiljenje si pokazal mojemu očetu Davidu in mene si postavil, da kraljujem namesto njega.
Solomon responded to God, “You showed trustworthy love without limit to my father David, and you 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.
Lord God, please keep the promise you made to my father David. You have made me king over a nation that has as many people 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?«
Please give me wisdom and knowledge to lead this people—for who can rule with justice this great people of yours?”
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 told Solomon: “Because this is what you really wanted, and you didn't ask for wealth, possessions, or honor, or the death of those who hate you, or for a long life, but instead you asked for wisdom and knowledge so you can rule with justice my people that I have made you king over;
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.«
wisdom and knowledge is given to you. I will give you wealth, possessions, and honor as well, much more than any king who came before you has had, or who comes after you will ever 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.
Then Solomon returned to Jerusalem from the Tent of Meeting in Gibeon, and he ruled 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 built up an army of chariots and horses. He had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he placed in the chariot cities, and also with him 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 plentiful in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar wood as plentiful as sycamore-figs trees in the foothills.
16 Salomon je imel konje, privedene iz Egipta in laneno prejo. Kraljevi trgovci so laneno prejo prejeli za ceno.
Solomon imported horses for himself from Egypt and Kue; the king's traders bought them in Kue.
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.
A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred silver shekels, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. In the same way they exported them to all the Hittite kings and the Aramean kings.
