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 the son of David was firmly established in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and made him exceedingly great.
2 Potem je Salomon spregovoril vsemu Izraelu, poveljnikom nad tisočimi, nad stotimi, sodnikom, vsakemu voditelju v vsem Izraelu in glavnim izmed očetov.
Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers’ households.
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.
Then Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for God’s Tent of Meeting was there, which the LORD’s servant Moses 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.
But David had brought God’s ark up from Kiriath Jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
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.
Moreover the bronze altar that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made was there before the LORD’s tabernacle; and Solomon and the assembly were seeking counsel there.
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 there to the bronze altar before the LORD, which was at the Tent of Meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it.
7 V tej noči se je Bog prikazal Salomonu in mu rekel: »Prosi, kaj naj ti dam.«
That night, God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask for 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 said to God, “You have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and 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.
Now, LORD God, let your promise to David my father be established; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
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?«
Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge 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 said to Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches, wealth, honor, or the life of those who hate you, nor yet have you asked for long life; but have asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge my people, over whom I have made you king,
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.«
therefore wisdom and knowledge is granted to you. I will give you riches, wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before you, and none after you will 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.
So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting, to Jerusalem; and he reigned 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 gathered chariots and horsemen. He had one thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at 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 to be as common as stones in Jerusalem, and he made cedars to be as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland.
16 Salomon je imel konje, privedene iz Egipta in laneno prejo. Kraljevi trgovci so laneno prejo prejeli za ceno.
The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and from Kue. The king’s merchants purchased them from 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.
They imported from Egypt then exported a chariot for six hundred pieces of silver and a horse for one hundred fifty. They also exported them to the Hittite kings and the Syrian kings.
