¹And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.

¹Salomon, sin Davidov, bio se učvrstio na prijestolju. Jahve, Bog njegov, bijaše s njim i uzvisi ga veoma.

²Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers.

²Salomon se tada obrati svem Izraelu, tisućnicima, satnicima, sucima, svim knezovima izraelskim, glavama obitelji,

³So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.

³te se on i s njim sav Zbor popeše na uzvišicu koja bješe u Gibeonu, jer je ondje bio Šator sastanka što ga u pustinji podiže Mojsije, sluga Božji.

⁴But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjathjearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.

⁴David bijaše prenio Kovčeg Božji iz Kirjat Jearima do mjesta koje je sam pripravio za nj; jer je bio podigao Šator u Jeruzalemu.

⁵Moreover the brazen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.

⁵Tučani žrtvenik što ga napravi Besalel, sin Hurova sina Urija, bijaše ondje pred Prebivalištem Jahvinim, kamo dođoše Salomon i zbor da mu se obrate.

⁶And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.

⁶Ondje se Salomon pred Jahvom pope na tučani žrtvenik, koji bješe tik do Šatora sastanka, i prinese na njemu tisuću paljenica.

⁷In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.

⁷Iste se noći Bog ukaza Salomonu i reče mu: "Traži što da ti dadem."

⁸And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast showed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.

⁸Salomon odgovori: "Veoma si naklon bio mome ocu Davidu i zakraljio si mene na njegovo mjesto.

⁹Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.

⁹Bože Jahve, neka se ispuni sada obećanje što si ga dao mome ocu Davidu, jer si me zakraljio nad narodom kojega ima mnogo kao zemaljske prašine.

¹⁰Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?

¹⁰Daj mi sada mudrost i znanje da uzmognem upravljati ovim narodom, jer tko će upravljati tolikim narodom kao što je ovaj tvoj!"

¹¹And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:

¹¹Bog reče Salomonu: "Budući da ti je to u srcu, a nisi iskao ni bogatstva, ni blaga, ni slave, ni smrti neprijatelja i jer nisi tražio duga života nego mudrosti i znanja kako bi upravljao mojim narodom nad kojim te zakraljih,

¹²Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.

¹²dajem ti mudrost i znanje. Ali ti dajem i bogatstva, blaga i slave kakve nije imao nijedan kralj što bješe prije tebe i kakve neće imati ni oni koji dođu poslije tebe."

¹³Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel.

¹³Salomon s uzvišice u Gibeonu ode u Jeruzalem, podalje od Šatora sastanka, i kraljevaše nad Izraelom.

¹⁴And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

¹⁴Sakupi bojnih kola i konjanika: imao je tisuću četiri stotine kola i dvanaest tisuća konjanika i razmjesti ih po gradovima gdje mu bijahu kola i kod sebe u Jeruzalemu.

¹⁵And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycamore trees that are in the vale for abundance.

¹⁵Salomon učini da srebra i zlata bude u Jeruzalemu izobila kao kamenja, a cedrova mnogo kao dudova u Šefeli.

¹⁶And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.

¹⁶Konji Salomonovi bili su uvezeni iz Musrija i Koe; kraljevski dvorani kupovahu ih u Koi za srebro.

¹⁷And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so brought they out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.

¹⁷Dovozila su se i prodavala jedna bojna kola iz Egipta po šest stotina srebrnih šekela, a konji po sto i pedeset; to bješe isto tako za sve hetitske i aramejske kraljeve koji su ih uvozili preko njih.

¹⁸Salomon naumi sagraditi Dom - jedan Imenu Jahvinu, a drugi sebi za kraljevski dvorac.
