¹Now Solomon purposed to build a house for the name of Jehovah, and a 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 counted out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand men that were hewers in the mountains, 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 a 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 am about to build a house for the name of Jehovah my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him incense of sweet spices, and for the continual showbread, and for the burnt-offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts of Jehovah 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 a house, seeing heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him a house, save only to burn incense 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.

⁷Now therefore send me a man skilful to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that knoweth how to grave [all manner of] gravings, [to be] with the skilful 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 know how 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 great and wonderful.

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 Jehovah loveth 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 Jehovah, the God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with discretion and understanding, that should build a house for Jehovah, and a house for his kingdom.

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

¹³And now I have sent a skilful 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, skilful 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 devise any device; that there may be [a place] appointed unto him with thy skilful men, and with the skilful 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 sojourners that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were found a 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 bear burdens, and fourscore thousand that were hewers in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people at work.
