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.

And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and magnified him to a high degree.

2 Potem je Salomon spregovoril vsemu Izraelu, poveljnikom nad tisočimi, nad stotimi, sodnikom, vsakemu voditelju v vsem Izraelu in glavnim izmed očetov.

And Solomon gave orders to all Israel, to the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, and to the rulers, and to the judges of all Israel, and the heads of the families:

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.

And he went with all the multitude to the high place of Gabaon, where was the tabernacle of the covenant of the Lord, which Moses the servant of God 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.

For David had brought the ark of God from Cariathiarim to the place, which he had prepared for it, and where he had pitched a tabernacle for it, that is, in 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.

And the altar of brass, which Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur had made, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord: and Solomon and all the assembly sought it:

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.

And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar, before the tabernacle of the covenant of the Lord, and offered up on it a thousand victims.

7 V tej noči se je Bog prikazal Salomonu in mu rekel: »Prosi, kaj naj ti dam.«

And behold that night God appeared to him, saying: Ask what thou wilt that I should give thee.

8 Salomon je Bogu rekel: »Veliko usmiljenje si pokazal mojemu očetu Davidu in mene si postavil, da kraljujem namesto njega.

And Solomon said to God: Thou hast shewn great kindness to my father David: and hast made me king in his stead.

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 therefore, O Lord God, let thy word be fulfilled, which thou hast promised to David my father: for thou hast made me king over thy great people, which is as innumerable 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?«

Give me wisdom and knowledge that I may come in and go out before thy people: for who can worthily judge this thy people, which is so great?

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,

And God said to Solomon: Because this choice hath pleased thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, and wealth, and glory, nor the lives of them that hate thee, nor many days of life: but hast asked wisdom and knowledge, to be able to judge my people, over which I have made thee 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.«

Wisdom and knowledge are granted to thee: and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and glory, so that none of the kings before thee, nor after thee, shall be like thee.

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 came from the high place of Gabaon to Jerusalem before the tabernacle of the covenant, and 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.

And he gathered to himself chariots and horsemen, and he had a thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen: and he placed them in the cities of the chariots, and with the king 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.

And the king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees as sycamores, which grow in the plains in great multitude.

16 Salomon je imel konje, privedene iz Egipta in laneno prejo. Kraljevi trgovci so laneno prejo prejeli za ceno.

And there were horses brought him from Egypt, and from Coa by the king’s merchants, who went, and bought at a price,

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 of four horses for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: in like manner market was made in all the kingdoms of the Hethites, and of the kings of Syria.
