¹Ja Saalomon, Taaveti poeg, osutus tugevaks oma kuningriigis, ja Issand, tema Jumal, oli temaga ning tegi ta väga suureks.

¹And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and Jehovah his God was with him and magnified him exceedingly.

²Ja Saalomon andis käsu kogu Iisraelile, tuhande- ja sajapealikuile, kohtumõistjaile ja kõigile juhtidele kogu Iisraelis, perekondade peameestele,

²And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to all the princes of all Israel, the chief fathers;

³ja Saalomon ning terve kogudus koos temaga läksid ohvrikünkale, mis oli Gibeonis, sest seal oli Jumala kogudusetelk, mille Issanda sulane Mooses kõrbes oli teinud.

³and Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place at Gibeon; for there was God's tent of meeting which Moses the servant of Jehovah had made in the wilderness.

⁴Ometi oli Taavet toonud Jumala laeka Kirjat-Jearimist paika, mille Taavet selleks oli valmistanud; sest ta oli Jeruusalemmas selle jaoks telgi üles löönud.

⁴But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-jearim to the [place] that David had prepared for it; for he had spread a tent for it at Jerusalem.

⁵Aga vaskaltar, mille Betsaleel, Huuri poja Uuri poeg, oli teinud, oli seal Issanda elamu ees; seal otsisid Saalomon ja kogudus Issandat.

⁵And the brazen altar that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of Jehovah; and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.

⁶Ja Saalomon ohverdas seal Issanda ees kogudusetelgi vaskaltaril; ta ohverdas selle peal tuhat põletusohvrit.

⁶And Solomon offered there upon the brazen altar before Jehovah which was at the tent of meeting; and he offered up a thousand burnt-offerings upon it.

⁷Selsamal ööl ilmutas Jumal ennast Saalomonile ja ütles talle: 'Palu, mida ma sulle peaksin andma!'

⁷In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give thee.

⁸Ja Saalomon vastas Jumalale: 'Sa oled Taavetile, mu isale, suurt heldust osutanud, ja oled minu tema asemele kuningaks tõstnud.

⁸And Solomon said to God, Thou hast shewn unto David my father great loving-kindness, and hast made me king in his stead.

⁹Nüüd, Issand Jumal, saagu tõeks su sõna mu isale Taavetile, sest sa oled mu kuningaks tõstnud rahvale, keda on nõnda palju nagu põrmu maa peal!

⁹Now, Jehovah Elohim, let thy word unto David my father be firm; for thou hast made me king over a people numerous as the dust of the earth.

¹⁰Anna nüüd mulle tarkust ja mõistust minna ja tulla selle rahva eesotsas, sest kes suudaks muidu kohut mõista sellele sinu suurele rahvale?'

¹⁰Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this thy great people?

¹¹Ja Jumal ütles Saalomonile: 'Et see sul südame peal on ja et sa ei ole palunud rikkust, varandust ega au, ka mitte oma vaenlaste hinge, ja et sa ei ole palunud isegi mitte pikka iga, vaid oled enesele palunud tarkust ja mõistust, et saaksid kohut mõista rahvale, kellele ma sind olen kuningaks tõstnud,

¹¹And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of them that hate thee, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked for thyself wisdom and knowledge, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:

¹²siis olgu sulle antud tarkust ja mõistust! Ja ma annan sulle ka rikkust, varandust ja au, nagu seda ei ole olnud kuningail enne sind ega ole ühelgi pärast sind.'

¹²wisdom and knowledge are granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches and wealth and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall any after thee have the like.

¹³Ja Saalomon tuli ohvrikünkalt Gibeonist, kogudusetelgi eest, Jeruusalemma ja valitses Iisraeli üle.

¹³Then Solomon came back [from] the high place at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tent of meeting, and reigned over Israel.

¹⁴Ja Saalomon kogus sõjavankreid ja ratsanikke, ja tal oli tuhat nelisada sõjavankrit ja kaksteist tuhat ratsanikku; need paigutas ta vankrilinnadesse ja kuninga juurde Jeruusalemma.

¹⁴And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; and he had a thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen; and he placed them in the chariot-cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

¹⁵Ja kuningas hoolitses, et Jeruusalemmas oli hõbedat ja kulda nagu kive, ja seedripuid nõnda palju nagu metsviigipuid Madalmaal.

¹⁵And the king made silver and gold in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he as the sycamores that are in the lowland for abundance.

¹⁶Saalomoni hobused olid toodud Egiptusest ja Kiliikiast; kuninga ülesostjad tõid neid Kiliikiast kindla hinna eest.

¹⁶And the exportation of horses that Solomon had was from Egypt: a caravan of the king's merchants fetched a drove [of horses], at a price.

¹⁷Egiptusest toodi vanker kuuesaja hõbeseekli eest ja hobune saja viiekümne eest; ja nõnda toodi neid nende vahendusel kõigile hettide ja süürlaste kuningaile.

¹⁷And they fetched up and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so they brought [them] by their means, for all the kings of the Hittites and for the kings of Syria.

¹⁸Ja Saalomon käskis ehitada koja Issanda nimele ja kuningliku koja iseenesele.
