¹And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the LORD, and an house for his kingdom.

¹Ja Saalomon määras seitsekümmend tuhat meest kandjaiks, kaheksakümmend tuhat meest kiviraiujaiks mäestikus ja kolm tuhat kuussada, kes neid juhatasid.

²And Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.

²Ja Saalomon läkitas ütlema Huuramile, Tüürose kuningale: 'Tee minule sedasama, mida sa tegid mu isale Taavetile, kellele sa saatsid seedripuid, et ta sai enesele ehitada koja, kus ta elas.

³And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein, even so deal with me.

³Vaata, mina tahan ehitada Issanda, oma Jumala nimele koja ja selle pühitseda temale, et tema ees suitsutada hästilõhnavaid suitsutusrohte, tuua igapäevaseid ohvrileibu ja põletusohvreid hommikul ja õhtul, hingamispäevil, noorkuupäevil ja Issanda, meie Jumala pühadel; see on Iisraelile igaveseks kohustuseks.

⁴Behold, I build an house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.

⁴Ja koda, mille ma ehitan, peab olema suur, sest meie Jumal on suurem kõigist jumalaist!

⁵And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods.

⁵Aga kellel jätkuks jõudu temale koda ehitada? Sest taevad ja taevaste taevad ei mahuta teda! Ja kes olen siis mina, et ma tahan temale koja ehitada, kuigi ainult suitsutuseks tema ees?

⁶But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?

⁶Aga nüüd läkita mulle mees, kes oskab teha töid kullast, hõbedast, vasest ja rauast, purpurpunasest, karmiinpunasest ja sinisest lõngast, ja kes tunneb nikerdustööd, et ta töötaks Juudas ja Jeruusalemmas koos minu oskustöölistega, kes on hangitud mu isa Taaveti poolt.

⁷Send me now therefore a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill to grave with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.

⁷Ja saada mulle seedripuid, küpressi- ja algumipuid Liibanonist, sest ma tean, et sinu sulased oskavad raiuda Liibanoni puid. Ja vaata, minu sulased olgu koos sinu sulastega!

⁸Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon: for I know that thy servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and, behold, my servants shall be with thy servants,

⁸Mul on tarvis hankida palju puitu, sest koda, mille ma ehitan, peab olema suur ja imetlusväärne!

⁹Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build shall be wonderful great.

⁹Ja vaata, raiujaile, kes puid lõikavad, annan ma kakskümmend tuhat koori nisu, su sulastele toiduks, ja kakskümmend tuhat koori otri, kakskümmend tuhat batti veini ja kakskümmend tuhat batti õli!'

¹⁰And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.

¹⁰Ja Huuram, Tüürose kuningas, vastas kirjaga, mille ta Saalomonile läkitas: 'Sellepärast, et Issand oma rahvast armastab, on ta sinu pannud neile kuningaks.'

¹¹Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the LORD hath loved his people, he hath made thee king over them.

¹¹Ja edasi ütles Huuram: 'Kiidetud olgu Issand, Iisraeli Jumal, kes on teinud taeva ja maa, kes on andnud kuningas Taavetile targa poja, kel on tarkust ja taipu, et ehitada Issandale koda ja iseenesele kuninglik koda!

¹²Huram said moreover, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, that might build an house for the LORD, and an house for his kingdom.

¹²Ja nüüd ma läkitan ühe targa ja aruka mehe, Huuram-Abi,

¹³And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father's,

¹³kes on Daani tütreist pärit naise poeg ja kelle isa on Tüürose mees. Tema oskab teha töid kullast, hõbedast, vasest, rauast, kivist ja puust, ja purpurpunasest, sinisest, valgest linasest ja karmiinpunasest lõngast. Ta oskab igasuguseid nikerdusi ja lahendab igasuguseid ülesandeid, mis temale antakse, koos sinu tarkadega ja minu isanda, sinu isa Taaveti tarkadega.

¹⁴The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skillful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David thy father.

¹⁴Saada siis nüüd oma sulastele nisu, otri, õli ja veini, nagu mu isand on lubanud.

¹⁵Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants:

¹⁵Meie raiume siis Liibanonist puid, nõnda palju kui sul on vaja, ja me toome need sulle parvedena merd mööda Jaafosse. Sina vii need siis üles Jeruusalemma!'

¹⁶And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need: and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa; and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem.

¹⁶Ja Saalomon luges ära kõik Iisraelimaal olevad võõrad mehed, pärast seda lugemist, mida tema isa Taavet oli toimetanud, ja neid leiti olevat sada viiskümmend kolm tuhat kuussada.

¹⁷And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred.

¹⁷Ja ta tegi neist seitsekümmend tuhat kandjaiks, kaheksakümmend tuhat kiviraiujaiks mäestikus ja kolm tuhat kuussada juhatajaiks, kes panid rahva tööle.

¹⁸And he set threescore and ten thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and fourscore thousand to be hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people a work.
