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

¹Then David said, “This is the house of Yahweh God, 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.

²David gave orders to gather together the foreigners who were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to cut worked stones to build God’s house.

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

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

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

⁴and cedar trees without number: for the Sidonians and they of Tyre brought cedar trees 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.

⁵David said, “Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for Yahweh must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries. I will therefore make preparation for it.” So David prepared abundantly before his death.

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

⁶Then he called for Solomon his son, and commanded him to build a house for Yahweh, the God of Israel.

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

⁷David said to Solomon his son, “As for me, it was in my heart to build a house to the name of Yahweh 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 Yahweh came to me, saying, ‘You have shed blood abundantly, and have made great wars. You shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed much blood on 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 you, who shall be a man of rest. I will give him rest from all his enemies all around; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.

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 for 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, may Yahweh be with you and prosper you, and build the house of Yahweh your God, as he has spoken concerning you.

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

¹²May Yahweh give you discretion and understanding, and put you in charge of Israel; that so you may keep the law of Yahweh your 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 you will prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and the ordinances which Yahweh gave Moses concerning Israel. Be strong, and courageous. Don’t be afraid, 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.

¹⁴Now, behold, in my affliction I have prepared for the house of Yahweh one hundred thousand talents of gold, one million talents of silver, and brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance. I have also prepared timber and stone; and you may add to them.

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

¹⁵There are also workmen with you in abundance, cutters and workers of stone and timber, and all kinds of men who are skillful in 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 may Yahweh be with you.”

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

¹⁷David also 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.

¹⁸“Isn’t Yahweh your God with you? Hasn’t he given you rest on every side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before Yahweh, 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 after Yahweh your God. Arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of Yahweh God, to bring the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of Yahweh.”
