1 Kroniška 28

1 David je zbral vse Izraelove prince, prince rodov in poveljnike skupin, ki so služili kralju po skupini in poveljnike nad tisočimi, poveljnike nad stotimi in oskrbnike nad vsem imetjem in posestjo kralja in njegovih sinov, s častniki in z mogočnimi možmi in z vsemi hrabrimi možmi v Jeruzalem.

And David assembled all the chief men of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies, who waited on the king: and the captains over thousands, and over hundreds, and them who had the charge over the substance and possessions of the king, and his sons with the officers of the court, and the men of power, and all the bravest of the army at Jerusalem.

2 Potem je kralj David stopil na svoja stopala in rekel: »Poslušajte me, moji bratje in moje ljudstvo: › Kar se mene tiče, sem imel v svojem srcu, da zgradim hišo počitka za skrinjo Gospodove zaveze in za pručko našega Boga in sem pripravil za gradnjo,

And the king rising up, and standing said: Hear me, my brethren and my people: I had a thought to have built a house, in which the ark of the Lord, and the footstool of our God might rest: and I prepared all things for the building.

3 toda Bog mi je rekel: ›Ne boš gradil hiše mojemu imenu, ker si bil bojevnik in si prelival kri.‹

And God said to me: Thou shalt not build a house to my name: because thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood.

4 Vendar je Gospod, Izraelov Bog, mene izbral pred vso hišo mojega očeta, da bi bil na veke kralj nad Izraelom, kajti Juda je izbral, da bi bil vladar; in od Judove hiše, hišo mojega očeta; in med sinovi mojega očeta sem mu bil všeč, da me je postavil za kralja nad vsem Izraelom,

But the Lord God of Israel chose me of all the house of my father, to be king over Israel for ever: for of Juda he chose the princes: and of the house of Juda, my father’s house: and among the sons of my father, it pleased him to choose me king over all Israel.

5 in izmed vseh mojih sinov (kajti Gospod mi je dal mnogo sinov), je izbral mojega sina Salomona, da sedi na prestolu Gospodovega kraljestva nad Izraelom.

And among my sons (for the Lord hath given me many sons) he hath chosen Solomon my son, to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.

6 Rekel mi je: ›Tvoj sin Salomon bo zgradil mojo hišo in moje dvore, kajti izbral sem ga, da bo moj sin in jaz bom njegov oče.

And he said to me: Solomon thy son shall build my house, and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be a father to him.

7 Poleg tega bom na veke utrdil njegovo kraljestvo, če bo stalno izpolnjeval moje zapovedi in moje sodbe, kakor ta dan.‹

And I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he continue to keep my commandments, and my judgments, as at this day.

8 Zdaj se torej pred očmi vsega Izraela, Gospodove skupnosti in v občinstvu našega Boga, držite in iščite vse zapovedi Gospoda, svojega Boga, da boste lahko posedli to dobro deželo in jo pustili za dediščino svojim otrokom za seboj na veke.

Now then before all the assembly of Israel, in the hearing of our God, keep ye, and seek all the commandments of the Lord our God: that you may possess the good land, and may leave it to your children after you for ever.

9 Ti pa, moj sin Salomon, spoznaj Boga svojega očeta in mu služi s popolnim srcem in z voljnim umom, kajti Gospod preiskuje vsa srca in razume vse miselne zamisli. Če ga boš iskal, ga boš našel, toda če ga zapustiš, te bo on zavrgel na veke.

And thou my son Solomon, know the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart, and a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the thoughts of minds. If thou seek him, thou shalt find him: but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.

10 Pazi torej, kajti Gospod te je izbral, da zgradiš hišo za svetišče. Bodi močan in to stôri.‹«

Now therefore seeing the Lord hath chosen thee to build the house of the sanctuary, take courage, and do it.

11 Potem je David svojemu sinu Salomonu dal vzorec preddverja, njegovih hiš, njegovih zakladnic, njegovih gornjih sob, njegovih notranjih dvoran in kraja sedeža milosti,

And David gave to Solomon his son a description of the porch, and of the temple, and of the treasures, and of the upper floor, and of the inner chambers, and of the house for the mercy seat,

12 vzorec vsega, kar je imel po duhu glede dvorov Gospodove hiše in vseh sob naokoli, zakladnic Božje hiše in zakladnic posvečenih stvari.

As also of all the courts, which he had in his thought, and of the chambers round about, for the treasures of the house of the Lord, and for the treasures of the consecrated things,

13 Tudi za skupine duhovnikov in Lévijevcev in za vse delo službe Gospodove hiše in za vse posode službe v Gospodovi hiši.

And of the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, for all the works of the house of the Lord, and for all the vessels of the service of the temple of the Lord.

14 Dal je zlata po teži za stvari iz zlata, za vse priprave vseh vrst službe; tudi srebra za vse priprave iz srebra po teži, za vse priprave vsake vrste službe.

Gold by weight for every vessel for the ministry. And silver by weight according to the diversity of the vessels and uses.

15 Celo težo za svečnike iz zlata in za njihove svetilke iz zlata po teži za vsak svečnik in za njihove svetilke. In za svečnike iz srebra po teži, tako za svečnik in tudi za njihove svetilke, glede na uporabo vsakega svečnika.

He gave also gold for the golden candlesticks, and their lamps, according to the dimensions of every candlestick, and the lamps thereof. In like manner also he gave silver by weight for the silver candlesticks, and for their lamps according to the diversity of the dimensions of them.

16 Po teži je dal zlata za mize hlebov navzočnosti za vsako mizo in podobno zlata za mize iz srebra.

He gave also gold for the tables of proposition, according to the diversity of the tables: in like manner also silver for other tables of silver.

17 Tudi čistega zlata za kavlje za meso, skledice in čaše. Za zlate umivalnike je dal zlata po teži za vsak umivalnik; in podobno srebra, po teži za vsak umivalnik iz srebra;

For fleshhooks also, and bowls, and censers of fine gold, and for little lions of gold, according to the measure he gave by weight, for every lion. In like manner also for lions of silver he set aside a different weight of silver.

18 Za kadilni oltar prečiščeno zlato po teži in zlata za vzorec bojnega voza kerubov, ki razprostirata svoje peruti in pokrivata skrinjo Gospodove zaveze.

And for the altar of incense, he gave the purest gold: and to make the likeness of the chariot of the cherubims spreading their wings, and covering the ark of the covenant of the Lord.

19 »Vse to, « je rekel David, »mi je Gospod dal razumeti v pisanju po svoji roki nad menoj, torej vsa dela tega vzorca.«

All these things, said he, came to me written by the hand of the Lord that I might understand all the works of the pattern.

20 David je rekel svojemu sinu Salomonu: »Bodi močan in odločnega poguma in stôri to. Ne boj se niti ne bodi zaprepaden, kajti Gospod Bog, celó moj Bog, bo s teboj. Ne bo te razočaral niti te ne bo zapustil, dokler ne dokončaš vsega dela za službo Gospodove hiše.

And David said to Solomon his son: Act like a man, and take courage, and do: fear not, and be not dismayed: for the Lord my God will be with thee, and will not leave thee, nor forsake thee, till thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.

21 Glej, skupine duhovnikov in Lévijevcev, celo oni bodo s teboj za vso službo Božje hiše, in tam bo s teboj za vse vrste rokodelstva vsak voljan vešč mož, za vse vrste del. Tudi princi in vse ljudstvo bo popolno ob tvoji zapovedi.«

Behold the courses of the priests and the Levites, for every ministry of the house of the Lord, stand by thee, and are ready, and both the princes, and the people know how to execute all thy commandments.
