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

¹Ja Saalomon, Taaveti poeg, osutus tugevaks oma kuningriigis, ja Issand, tema Jumal, oli temaga ning tegi ta väga suureks.

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.

²Ja Saalomon andis käsu kogu Iisraelile, tuhande- ja sajapealikuile, kohtumõistjaile ja kõigile juhtidele kogu Iisraelis, perekondade peameestele,

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.

³ja Saalomon ning terve kogudus koos temaga läksid ohvrikünkale, mis oli Gibeonis, sest seal oli Jumala kogudusetelk, mille Issanda sulane Mooses kõrbes oli teinud.

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.

⁴Ometi oli Taavet toonud Jumala laeka Kirjat-Jearimist paika, mille Taavet selleks oli valmistanud; sest ta oli Jeruusalemmas selle jaoks telgi üles löönud.

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.

⁵Aga vaskaltar, mille Betsaleel, Huuri poja Uuri poeg, oli teinud, oli seal Issanda elamu ees; seal otsisid Saalomon ja kogudus Issandat.

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.

⁶Ja Saalomon ohverdas seal Issanda ees kogudusetelgi vaskaltaril; ta ohverdas selle peal tuhat põletusohvrit.

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

⁷Selsamal ööl ilmutas Jumal ennast Saalomonile ja ütles talle: 'Palu, mida ma sulle peaksin andma!'

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

⁸Ja Saalomon vastas Jumalale: 'Sa oled Taavetile, mu isale, suurt heldust osutanud, ja oled minu tema asemele kuningaks tõstnud.

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.

⁹Nüüd, Issand Jumal, saagu tõeks su sõna mu isale Taavetile, sest sa oled mu kuningaks tõstnud rahvale, keda on nõnda palju nagu põrmu maa peal!

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?

¹⁰Anna nüüd mulle tarkust ja mõistust minna ja tulla selle rahva eesotsas, sest kes suudaks muidu kohut mõista sellele sinu suurele rahvale?'

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:

¹¹Ja Jumal ütles Saalomonile: 'Et see sul südame peal on ja et sa ei ole palunud rikkust, varandust ega au, ka mitte oma vaenlaste hinge, ja et sa ei ole palunud isegi mitte pikka iga, vaid oled enesele palunud tarkust ja mõistust, et saaksid kohut mõista rahvale, kellele ma sind olen kuningaks tõstnud,

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.

¹²siis olgu sulle antud tarkust ja mõistust! Ja ma annan sulle ka rikkust, varandust ja au, nagu seda ei ole olnud kuningail enne sind ega ole ühelgi pärast sind.'

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.

¹³Ja Saalomon tuli ohvrikünkalt Gibeonist, kogudusetelgi eest, Jeruusalemma ja valitses Iisraeli üle.

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.

¹⁴Ja Saalomon kogus sõjavankreid ja ratsanikke, ja tal oli tuhat nelisada sõjavankrit ja kaksteist tuhat ratsanikku; need paigutas ta vankrilinnadesse ja kuninga juurde Jeruusalemma.

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.

¹⁵Ja kuningas hoolitses, et Jeruusalemmas oli hõbedat ja kulda nagu kive, ja seedripuid nõnda palju nagu metsviigipuid Madalmaal.

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

¹⁶Saalomoni hobused olid toodud Egiptusest ja Kiliikiast; kuninga ülesostjad tõid neid Kiliikiast kindla hinna eest.

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.

¹⁷Egiptusest toodi vanker kuuesaja hõbeseekli eest ja hobune saja viiekümne eest; ja nõnda toodi neid nende vahendusel kõigile hettide ja süürlaste kuningaile.

¹⁸Ja Saalomon käskis ehitada koja Issanda nimele ja kuningliku koja iseenesele.
