2 Chronicles 1

1 And Solomon, the son of David, made himself strong in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and made him very great.

I Solomun sin Davidov utvrdi se u carstvu svom, i Gospod Bog njegov bješe s njim, i uzvisi ga veoma.

2 And Solomon sent word to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds and to the judges and to every chief in all Israel, heads of their families.

I Solomun reèe svemu Izrailju, tisuænicima i stotinicima i sudijama i svijem knezovima svega Izrailja, glavarima domova otaèkih,

3 Then Solomon, and all the men of Israel with him, went to the high place at Gibeon, because the Tent of meeting of God, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, had made in the waste land, was there.

Te otidoše, Solomun i sav zbor s njim, na visinu koja bijaše u Gavaonu; jer ondje bijaše šator od sastanka Božijega, koji naèini Mojsije sluga Gospodnji u pustinji.

4 But the ark of God had been moved by David from Kiriath-jearim to the place which he had made ready for it, for he had put up a tent for it at Jerusalem.

A kovèeg Božji bješe prenio David iz Kirijat-Jarima na mjesto koje mu spremi David; jer mu razape šator u Jerusalimu.

5 And the altar of brass which Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the Tent of the Lord; and Solomon and all the people went to give worship there.

I oltar mjedeni koji naèini Veseleilo, sin Urija sina Orova, bijaše ondje pred šatorom Gospodnjim. I potraži ga Solomun i sav zbor.

6 And Solomon went up there to the brass altar before the Lord at the Tent of meeting, offering on it a thousand burned offerings.

I prinese Solomun ondje pred Gospodom na oltaru mjedenom, koji bijaše pred šatorom od sastanka, prinese na njemu tisuæu žrtava paljenica.

7 In that night God came to Solomon in a vision, and said to him, Say what I am to give you.

Onu noæ javi se Bog Solomunu i reèe mu: išti šta hoæeš da ti dam.

8 And Solomon said to God, Great was your mercy to David my father, and you have made me king in his place.

A Solomun reèe Bogu: ti si uèinio veliku milost Davidu ocu mojemu i postavio si mene carem na njegovo mjesto.

9 Now, O Lord God, let your word to David my father come true; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in number.

Neka dakle, Gospode Bože, bude tvrda rijeè tvoja, koju si rekao Davidu ocu mojemu, jer si me postavio carem nad narodom kojega ima mnogo kao praha na zemlji.

10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, so that I may go out and come in before this people: for who is able to be the judge of this great people of yours?

Zato daj mi mudrost i znanje da polazim pred narodom ovijem i dolazim, jer ko može suditi narodu tvojemu tako velikomu?

11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in your heart, and you did not make request for money, property, or honour, or for the destruction of your haters, or for long life; but you have made request for wisdom and knowledge for yourself, so that you may be the judge of my people over whom I have made you king:

Tada reèe Bog Solomunu: što ti je to u srcu, a ne išteš bogatstva, blaga ni slave, ni duša nenavidnika svojih, niti išteš duga života, nego išteš mudrosti i znanja da možeš suditi narodu mojemu, nad kojim te postavih carem,

12 Wisdom and knowledge are given to you; and I will give you wealth and honour, such as no king has had before you or ever will have after you.

Mudrost i znanje daje ti se; a daæu ti i bogatstva i slave, kakove nijesu imali carevi prije tebe niti æe poslije tebe imati.

13 So Solomon went back from the high place at Gibeon, from before the Tent of meeting, to Jerusalem; and he was king over Israel.

I vrati se Solomun s visine koja bijaše u Gavaonu ispred šatora od sastanka u Jerusalim, i carovaše nad Izrailjem.

14 And Solomon got together war-carriages and horsemen; he had one thousand, four hundred carriages and twelve thousand horsemen, which he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king at Jerusalem.

I nakupi Solomun kola i konjika, i imaše tisuæu i èetiri stotine kola i dvanaest tisuæa konjika, koje namjesti po gradovima gdje mu bijahu kola i kod sebe u Jerusalimu.

15 And the king made silver and gold as common as stones in Jerusalem, and cedar like the sycamore-trees of the lowland in number.

I uèini car te bijaše u Jerusalimu srebra i zlata kao kamena, a kedrovijeh drva kao divljih smokava koje rastu po polju, tako mnogo.

16 And Solomon's horses came out of Egypt; the king's traders got them from Kue at a price.

I dovoðahu Solomunu konje iz Misira i svakojaki trg, jer trgovci carevi uzimahu svakojaki trg za cijenu.

17 A war-carriage might be got from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: they got them at the same rate for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.

I odlažahu, te dogonjahu iz Misira kola po šest stotina sikala srebra, a konje po sto pedeset; i tako svi carevi Hetejski i carevi Sirski preko njih dobivahu.
