¹Ja Taavet ütles: 'Siin olgu Issanda Jumala koda ja siin olgu Iisraeli põletusohvrialtar!'

¹And David said, This is the house of Jehovah Elohim, and this is the altar of burnt-offering for Israel.

²Ja Taavet käskis koguda Iisraelimaal olevaid võõramaalasi ja pani kiviraiujad raiuma tahutud kive Jumala koja ehitamiseks.

²And David commanded to collect the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.

³Ja Taavet hankis palju rauda väravauste naelteks ja klambriteks, ja nõnda palju vaske, et seda ei saadudki vaagida,

³And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joists, and brass in abundance without weight;

⁴ja arvutult seedripuud, sest siidonlased ja tüüroslased tõid Taavetile palju seedripuud.

⁴and cedar-trees innumerable; for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought cedar-wood in abundance to David.

⁵Sest Taavet mõtles: 'Mu poeg Saalomon on alles noor ja vilumatu, aga koda, mis Issandale tuleb ehitada, peab olema suur, kõrge, kuulus ja ilus kogu maailmale. Seepärast ma siis hangingi selle jaoks.' Ja Taavet hankis enne oma surma palju.

⁵For David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for Jehovah must be exceeding great in fame and in beauty in all lands: I will therefore make preparation for it. And David prepared abundantly before his death.

⁶Siis ta kutsus oma poja Saalomoni ja käskis teda ehitada koja Issandale, Iisraeli Jumalale.

⁶And he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build a house for Jehovah the God of Israel.

⁷Taavet ütles Saalomonile: 'Mu poeg, mul oli südame peal ehitada koda Issanda, oma Jumala nimele.

⁷And David said to Solomon, As for me, my son, I was minded to build a house unto the name of Jehovah my God.

⁸Aga mulle tuli Issanda sõna, kes ütles: Sina oled valanud palju verd ja oled pidanud suuri sõdu. Sina ei tohi mu nimele koda ehitada, sellepärast et sa mu ees nõnda palju verd maa peale oled valanud!

⁸But the word of Jehovah came to me saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build a house unto my name, for thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.

⁹Vaata, sulle sünnib poeg. Temast tuleb rahu mees ja mina annan temale rahu kõigist ta ümberkaudsetest vaenlastest, sest tema nimeks peab olema Saalomon, ja ma annan tema päevil Iisraelile rahu ja vaikust.

⁹Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about; for his name shall be Solomon, and in his days I will give peace and quietness unto Israel.

¹⁰Tema ehitab mu nimele koja. Tema on mulle pojaks ja mina olen temale isaks. Ja mina kinnitan tema kuningriigi aujärje Iisraeli üle igaveseks ajaks.

¹⁰He shall build a house unto my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.

¹¹Nüüd, mu poeg, olgu Issand sinuga, et sul läheks korda ehitada Issanda, oma Jumala koda, nõnda nagu ta sinu kohta on rääkinud!

¹¹Now, my son, Jehovah be with thee, that thou mayest prosper, and build the house of Jehovah thy God, as he has said of thee.

¹²Küllap Issand annab sulle tarkust ja taipu, kui ta paneb su valitsema Iisraeli üle ja valvama Issanda, su Jumala Seadust.

¹²Only, Jehovah give thee wisdom and understanding, and place thee over Israel, and to keep the law of Jehovah thy God.

¹³Sul on siis kordaminek, kui sa hoolsasti tähele paned määrusi ja seadlusi, mis Issand Moosesele on andnud Iisraeli jaoks. Ole vahva ja tugev, ära karda ja ära kohku!

¹³Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to perform the statutes and ordinances which Jehovah commanded Moses for Israel: be strong and courageous; fear not, neither be dismayed.

¹⁴Vaata, mina olen oma vaevaga hankinud Issanda koja tarvis sada tuhat talenti kulda ja miljon talenti hõbedat, samuti vaske ja rauda, mida ei saagi vaagida, sest seda on palju. Ma olen hankinud ka puitu ja kive, ja sul on vaja neile ainult lisada.

¹⁴And behold, in my affliction I have prepared for the house of Jehovah a hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight, for it is in abundance; and timber and stone have I prepared; and thou shalt add to it.

¹⁵Sul on ka palju töötegijaid, kiviraiujaid, meistreid kivi ja puu tarvis, kõik osavad igasuguses töös.

¹⁵And there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of skilful men for every kind of work.

¹⁶Kullal, hõbedal, vasel ja raual pole määra - võta kätte ja hakka tööle! Issand olgu sinuga!'

¹⁶Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing and Jehovah be with thee.

¹⁷Ja Taavet käskis kõiki Iisraeli vürste aidata tema poega Saalomoni:

¹⁷And David commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, [saying,]

¹⁸'Eks ole Issand, teie Jumal, olnud teiega ja andnud teile igalt poolt rahu? Sest tema on andnud maa elanikud minu kätte ja maa on alistunud Issanda ja tema rahva ees.

¹⁸Is not Jehovah your God with you? and has he [not] given you rest on every side? for he has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before Jehovah, and before his people.

¹⁹Pöörake nüüd oma süda ja hing Issandat, oma Jumalat, otsima! Võtke kätte ja ehitage Issanda Jumala pühamu, et Issanda seaduselaeka ja Jumala pühad riistad saaks viia kotta, mis Issanda nimele on ehitatud!'

¹⁹Now set your heart and your soul to seek Jehovah your God; and arise and build the sanctuary of Jehovah Elohim, to bring the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and the vessels of the sanctuary of God into the house that is to be built unto the name of Jehovah.
