¹Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

¹Tedaj reče Salomon: Jehova je rekel, da bo prebival v mrakoti.

²But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever.

²A jaz sem ti zgradil hišo v prebivališče, stan tebi za sedež na veke!

³And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.

³In kralj obrne obličje in blagoslovi ves zbor Izraelov; in ves zbor Izraelov je stal.

⁴And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to my father David, saying,

⁴In reče: Hvaljen bodi GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov, ki je obljubil z usti svojimi Davidu, očetu mojemu, in z roko svojo je to izpolnil, govoreč:

⁵Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:

⁵Od dne, ko sem odpeljal ljudstvo svoje iz dežele Egiptovske, nisem izvolil nobenega mesta iz vseh rodov Izraelovih, da se v njem zgradi hiša, ki naj bi v njej bilo ime moje; tudi nisem izvolil nikogar, da bodi vojvoda ljudstvu mojemu Izraelu;

⁶But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.

⁶ali izvolil sem Jeruzalem, da bodi v njem moje ime, in izvolil sem Davida, da bodi nad ljudstvom mojim Izraelom.

⁷Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

⁷Bilo pa je na srcu Davidu, očetu mojemu, da zgradi hišo imenu GOSPODA, Boga Izraelovega.

⁸But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart:

⁸Ali GOSPOD je rekel Davidu, očetu mojemu: Ker ti je bilo na srcu, sezidati hišo mojemu imenu, si dobro storil, da si to imel v srcu.

⁹Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house; but thy son which shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.

⁹Vendar pa ti ne boš zidal tiste hiše, temuč sin tvoj, ki pride iz ledja tvojega, ta bo zgradil hišo mojemu imenu.

¹⁰The LORD therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

¹⁰In GOSPOD je vzdržal besedo svojo, ki jo je govoril: kajti jaz sem nastopil na očeta svojega Davida mestu in sedim na prestolu Izraelovem, kakor je bil GOSPOD obljubil, in zgradil sem hišo imenu Jehove, Boga Izraelovega.

¹¹And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel.

¹¹In vanjo sem postavil skrinjo, v kateri je zaveza GOSPODOVA, ki jo je sklenil s sinovi Izraelovimi.

¹²And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:

¹²In stopi pred oltar GOSPODOV vpričo vsega zbora Izraelovega in razprostre roke

¹³For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.

¹³(naredil je bil namreč Salomon bronast oder, pet komolcev dolg in pet komolcev širok in tri komolce visok, in ga je postavil sredi dvorišča; in nanj stopivši, poklekne na kolena pred vsem zborom Izraelovim in razprostre roke proti nebu)

¹⁴And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and showest mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:

¹⁴in reče: O GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov, tebi ni enakega Boga v nebesih ali na zemlji, ki hraniš zavezo in milost hlapcem svojim, ki hodijo pred obličjem tvojim z vsem srcem svojim;

¹⁵Thou which hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him; and spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day.

¹⁵ki si ohranil hlapcu svojemu Davidu, očetu mojemu, kar si mu bil obljubil. Z usti svojimi si govoril in z roko svojo si to izpolnil, kakor se danes vidi.

¹⁶Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet so that thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.

¹⁶In sedaj, GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov, ohrani hlapcu svojemu Davidu, očetu mojemu, kar si mu bil obljubil, govoreč: Ne bo ti zmanjkalo pred obličjem mojim moža, ki bo sedel na prestolu Izraelovem, samo če pazijo sinovi tvoji na pot svojo, da hodijo po moji postavi, kakor si ti hodil pred menoj.

¹⁷Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David.

¹⁷Sedaj torej, GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov, naj se uresniči beseda tvoja, ki si jo govoril hlapcu svojemu Davidu.

¹⁸But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!

¹⁸Toda prebiva li v istini Bog z ljudmi na zemlji? Glej, nebo in nebes nebesa te ne morejo obseči, koliko manj ta hiša, ki sem jo sezidal!

¹⁹Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:

¹⁹Vendar se ozri na molitev svojega hlapca in na njegovo prošnjo, GOSPOD, Bog moj, da poslušaš vpitje in molitev, ki jo moli hlapec tvoj pred teboj:

²⁰That thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.

²⁰da bodo oči tvoje odprte proti tej hiši po dne in po noči, proti mestu, o katerem si rekel, da postaviš tam ime svoje, da uslišiš molitev, ki jo bo molil hlapec tvoj na tem mestu.

²¹Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.

²¹Poslušaj torej prošnjo hlapca svojega in ljudstva svojega Izraela, ki jo bodo prosili, obrnjeni proti temu mestu, poslušaj na mestu prebivanja svojega, v nebesih, in ko poslušaš, odpuščaj!

²²If a man sin against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house;

²²Ako se kdo pregreši zoper bližnjega svojega in se mu naloži prisega, da se zaveže s prisego, in ta prisega pride pred tvoj oltar v tej hiši:

²³Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.

²³ti poslušaj v nebesih in stóri, da se pravica zgodi hlapcem tvojim s tem, da obsodiš krivičnega ter mu spraviš pot njegov na glavo, pravičnega pa opravičiš in mu poplačaš po pravičnosti njegovi.

²⁴And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall return and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house;

²⁴Kadar bo ljudstvo tvoje izraelsko poraženo pred sovražnikom, ker so grešili zoper tebe, pa se zopet obrnejo in pripoznajo tvoje ime in bodo molili in ponižno prosili pred teboj v tej hiši:

²⁵Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.

²⁵ti poslušaj v nebesih in odpusti greh ljudstva svojega, Izraela, ter jih zopet pripelji v deželo, ki si jo dal njim in njih očetom.

²⁶When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them;

²⁶Kadar se zapre nebo, da ne bo dežja, ker so grešili zoper tebe, pa bodo molili, obrnjeni proti temu kraju, in pripoznavali tvoje ime in se izpreobrnejo od grehov svojih, ker si jih ponižal:

²⁷Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given unto thy people for an inheritance.

²⁷ti poslušaj v nebesih in odpusti greh hlapcev svojih in ljudstva svojega, Izraela, da jih učiš dobro pot, po kateri naj hodijo, in pošlješ dežja deželi svoji, ki si jo dal ljudstvu svojemu v dediščino.

²⁸If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillars; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness there be:

²⁸Kadar bode v deželi lakota, kadar pride kuga ali snet ali strupena rosa, kobilice ali gosenice; ko jih bodo sovražniki oblegali v deželi njih mest; katerakoli pridi nadloga, katerakoli bolezen:

²⁹Then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all thy people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:

²⁹kakršnokoli molitev in prošnjo bo molil kdo ali vse ljudstvo tvoje izraelsko, kadar spozna vsakteri svojo kazen in svojo nadlogo in iztegne roke proti tej hiši:

³⁰Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men:)

³⁰ti poslušaj v nebesih, v mestu prebivanja svojega, in odpusti in vsakemu povrni po vsem življenju njegovem, kakor spoznaš srce njegovo (zakaj ti, edini ti poznaš srca otrok človeških),

³¹That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

³¹da bi se te bali in hodili po potih tvojih, dokler žive v deželi, ki si jo dal njih očetom.

³²Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of thy people Israel, but is come from a far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house;

³²Ako pa tudi inostranec, ki ni iz ljudstva tvojega, Izraela, pride iz daljne dežele zaradi imena tvojega velikega in zaradi močne roke tvoje in iztegnjene rame tvoje; ko torej pridejo in bodo molili proti tej hiši:

³³Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

³³ti poslušaj v nebesih, v mestu prebivanja svojega, in stóri vse, za kar te kliče inostranec; da spoznajo vsa ljudstva na zemlji tvoje ime, da bi se te bali kakor ljudstvo tvoje, Izrael, ter da se prepričajo, da se imenuje ta hiša, ki sem jo zgradil, po imenu tvojem.

³⁴If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name;

³⁴Kadar pojde ljudstvo tvoje v vojno zoper sovražnike svoje, po kateremkoli potu jih pošlješ, in bodo molili k tebi, ozirajoč se proti temu mestu, ki si ga izvolil, in proti hiši, ki sem jo zgradil imenu tvojemu:

³⁵Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

³⁵ti poslušaj v nebesih njih molitev in prošnjo ter se potegni za njih pravdo.

³⁶If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near;

³⁶Kadar se pregreše zoper tebe (kajti ni ga človeka, ki ne greši) in se razsrdiš nad njimi in jih izročiš sovražniku, da jih ujete peljejo v deželo daljno ali bližnjo:

³⁷Yet if they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;

³⁷ako pa se premislijo v deželi, kamor so bili odpeljani v ujetništvo, in se izpreobrnejo in te ponižno prosijo v deželi ujetništva svojega, govoreč: Grešili smo, krivično smo delali, brezbožno smo ravnali!

³⁸If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name:

³⁸ako se k tebi povrnejo iz vsega srca svojega in iz vse duše svoje v deželi ujetništva svojega, kamor so jih ujete odpeljali, in molijo, ozirajoč se proti deželi svoji, ki si jo dal njih očetom, in mestu, ki si ga izvolil, in proti hiši, ki sem jo zgradil imenu tvojemu:

³⁹Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee.

³⁹ti poslušaj v nebesih, v mestu prebivanja svojega, njih molitev in prošnjo ter se potegni za njih pravdo, in odpusti ljudstvu svojemu, ki je grešilo zoper tebe.

⁴⁰Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.

⁴⁰Sedaj torej, Bog moj, prosim, naj bodo odprte oči tvoje in pazijo naj ušesa tvoja na molitev, ki se opravlja na tem mestu.

⁴¹Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.

⁴¹Sedaj torej vstani, o GOSPOD Bog, pridi v počivališče svoje, ti in skrinja moči tvoje! Duhovniki tvoji, o GOSPOD Bog, naj bodo oblečeni z zveličanjem, in svetniki tvoji naj se vesele dobrote!O GOSPOD, Bog, ne zavrni obličja maziljenca svojega! Spominjaj se dobrot, obljubljenih Davidu, hlapcu svojemu!

⁴²O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.

⁴²O GOSPOD, Bog, ne zavrni obličja maziljenca svojega! Spominjaj se dobrot, obljubljenih Davidu, hlapcu svojemu!
