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

¹In Salomon se je namenil zgraditi hišo imenu GOSPODOVEMU in hišo za svoje kraljevanje.

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.

²In Salomon je odštel sedemdeset tisoč mož, da nosijo bremena, in osemdeset tisoč mož, da sekajo les v gorah, in tri tisoč in šeststo, da jih nadzorujejo.

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.

³In poslal je k Huramu, kralju tirskemu, in sporočil: Kakor si storil z očetom mojim Davidom, ko si mu poslal cedrovine, da si zgradi hišo za prebivanje, enako stóri z menoj.

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.

⁴Glej, hišo hočem zidati imenu GOSPODA, Boga svojega, da mu jo posvetim, da bi se pred njim žgalo sladko dišečekadilo in se vsekdar vrstili kruhi in darovale žgalščine zjutraj in zvečer, ob sobotah in ob mlajih in ob določenih praznikih GOSPODA, našega Boga; večna je to postava Izraelu.

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

⁵Hiša pa, ki jo hočem graditi, bode velika, zakaj velik je Bog naš mimo vseh bogov.

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?

⁶A kdo je zmožen graditi mu hišo? Saj nebo in nebesa nebes ga ne morejo obseči; kdo sem torej jaz, da bi mu zgradil hišo, samo le da se zažiga kadilo pred njim?

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.

⁷Sedaj mi torej pošlji modrega moža, ki zna delati iz zlata, srebra, brona, železa in iz zagorelordečega, karmezinovega in višnjevega blaga in ki umeje izrezljavati rezbe, da dela z veščaki, ki so pri meni v Judeji in v Jeruzalemu, katere je priskrbel oče moj.

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,

⁸Pošlji mi tudi cedrovega, cipresovega in sandalovega lesa z Libanona; kajti vem, da znajo hlapci tvoji sekati libanonski les; in glej, hlapci moji bodo s hlapci tvojimi,

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

⁹da mi pripravijo veliko lesa, zakaj hiša, ki jo hočem graditi, bo nenavadno velika.

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.

¹⁰In glej, jaz dam hlapcem tvojim, delavcem, ki bodo tesali les, v živež dvajset tisoč meric pšenice in dvajset tisoč meric ječmena in dvajset tisoč batov vina in dvajset tisoč batov olja.

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.

¹¹Nato odgovori Huram, kralj tirski, v pismu, katero pošlje Salomonu: Ker GOSPOD ljubi ljudstvo svoje, zato te je postavil za kralja nad njimi.

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.

¹²Še reče Huram: Hvaljen bodi GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov, ki je naredil nebesa in zemljo, da je dal kralju Davidu modrega sina, obdarovanega s previdnostjo in razumnostjo, ki bo gradil hišo GOSPODU in hišo za svoje kraljevanje.

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

¹³In sedaj pošiljam modrega moža, obdarovanega z razumnostjo, Hurama, svojega očeta,

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.

¹⁴ki je sin žene izmed Danovih hčera, oče njegov pa je bil Tirec. Ta zna delati iz zlata, srebra, brona, železa, kamena, lesa, iz zagorelordečega in višnjevega blaga, iz tenčice in karmezina, tudi izrezljavati vsakovrstno rezbo ter izmišljati kakršnokoli umetnino, ki se mu naloži, da dela s tvojimi umetniki in z umetniki gospoda mojega Davida, očeta tvojega.

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

¹⁵Poslej naj pošilja torej gospod moj hlapcem svojim pšenice in ječmena, olja in vina, kakor je obljubil.

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.

¹⁶Mi pa bomo sekali les z Libanona, kolikor ti ga bo treba, in ti ga spravimo na plaveh po morju v Japo, ti pa poskrbiš, da ga peljejo gori v Jeruzalem.

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.

¹⁷In Salomon je preštel vse tujce v deželi Izraelovi, po štetju, po katerem jih je preštel David, oče njegov, in našteli so jih sto in triinpetdeset tisoč in šeststo.In postavil jih je sedemdeset tisoč, da nosijo bremena, in osemdeset tisoč, da sekajo les v gorah, in tri tisoč in šeststo za nadzornike, da priganjajo ljudstvo k delu.

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.

¹⁸In postavil jih je sedemdeset tisoč, da nosijo bremena, in osemdeset tisoč, da sekajo les v gorah, in tri tisoč in šeststo za nadzornike, da priganjajo ljudstvo k delu.
