¹Ja Taavet kogus Jeruusalemma kõik Iisraeli vürstid, suguharude vürstid ja rühmade ülemad, kes kuningat teenisid, tuhande- ja sajapealikud, kuninga ja tema poegade kõigi varanduste ja karjade ülevaatajad koos ametimeeste, sõjakangelaste ja kõigi vahvate võitlejatega.

¹David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies who served the king by division, and the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, and the rulers over all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officers, and the mighty men, even all the mighty men of valor, to Jerusalem.

²Ja kuningas Taavet tõusis jalule ning ütles: 'Kuulge mind, mu vennad ja mu rahvas! Mul oli südame peal ehitada puhkekoda Issanda seaduselaekale ja meie Jumala jalgade järile, ja ma olin valmistunud ehitama.

²Then David the king stood up on his feet, and said, “Hear me, my brothers, and my people! As for me, it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and for the footstool of our God; and I had prepared for the building.

³Aga Jumal ütles mulle: Sina ära ehita mu nimele koda, sest sa oled sõjamees ja oled verd valanud!

³But God said to me, ‘You shall not build a house for my name, because you are a man of war, and have shed blood.’

⁴Issand, Iisraeli Jumal, valis mind küll kõigest mu isa perest, et ma oleksin igavesti Iisraeli kuningas. Sest ta valis vürstiks Juuda ja Juuda soost mu isa pere. Ja mu isa poegade hulgast meeldisin mina temale, et ta mind tõstis kogu Iisraeli kuningaks.

⁴However Yahweh, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever. For he has chosen Judah to be prince; and in the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel.

⁵Ja kõigist minu poegadest, aga Issand on mulle palju poegi andnud, on ta valinud mu poja Saalomoni istuma Issanda kuningriigi aujärjele, Iisraeli üle valitsema.

⁵Of all my sons (for Yahweh has given me many sons), he has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of Yahweh’s kingdom over Israel.

⁶Ja ta ütles mulle: Saalomon, su poeg, ehitab mu koja ja mu õued, sest ma olen valinud tema enesele pojaks ja ma tahan olla temale isaks.

⁶He said to me, ‘Solomon, your son, shall build my house and my courts; for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.

⁷Ja mina kinnitan tema kuningriigi igaveseks ajaks, kui ta kindlaks jääb ja täidab mu käske ja seadlusi nõnda nagu praegu.

⁷I will establish his kingdom forever, if he continues to do my commandments and my ordinances, as at this day.’

⁸Ja nüüd, kogu Iisraeli, Issanda koguduse silma ees ja meie Jumala kuuldes ma ütlen: Pange tähele ja täitke kõiki Issanda, oma Jumala käske, et võiksite omaks pidada seda head maad ja jätta see pärandiks igaveseks ajaks oma lastele pärast teid!

⁸Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of Yahweh, and in the audience of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of Yahweh your God; that you may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever.

⁹Ja sina, mu poeg Saalomon, õpi tundma oma isa Jumalat ja teeni teda siira südamega ja sõnakuuleliku hingega, sest Issand uurib läbi kõik südamed ning mõistab kõiki mõtteid ja püüdeid! Kui sa teda otsid, siis sa leiad ta, aga kui sa ta maha jätad, siis ta heidab su ära igaveseks ajaks.

⁹You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Yahweh searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.

¹⁰Vaata siis nüüd, sest Issand on sinu valinud koda ehitama pühamuks! Ole vahva ja tee seda!'

¹⁰Take heed now; for Yahweh has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary. Be strong, and do it.”

¹¹Ja Taavet andis oma pojale Saalomonile templi, eeskoja hoonete, varaaitade, ülakambrite, siseruumide ja kõige pühama paiga kavandi,

¹¹Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch of the temple, and of its houses, and of its treasuries, and of the upper rooms of it, and of the inner rooms of it, and of the place of the mercy seat;

¹²ja kavandi kõigest, mis tal meeles mõlkus: Issanda koja õuedest ja kõigist kambritest ümberringi Jumala koja varanduste ja pühitsetud andide varanduste tarvis;

¹²and the pattern of all that he had by the Spirit, for the courts of the house of Yahweh, and for all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of God’s house, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things;

¹³ja preestrite ja leviitide rühmadest, ja kogu Issanda kojas tehtavast teenistusest, ja kõigist Issanda koja teenistusriistadest;

¹³also for the divisions of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of Yahweh, and for all the vessels of service in the house of Yahweh;

¹⁴kulla kohta: kulla kaalust kõigiks riistadeks igasuguse teenistuse tarvis, kõigi hõberiistade kaalust, igasuguse teenistuse tarvis olevaist riistadest;

¹⁴of gold by weight for the gold, for all vessels of every kind of service; for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all vessels of every kind of service;

¹⁵kuldlambijalgade ja nende kuldlampide kaalust, iga üksiku lambijala ja selle lampide kaalust, ja hõbelambijalgade kohta iga üksiku lambijala ja selle lampide kaalust vastavalt iga üksiku lambijala otstarbele;

¹⁵by weight also for the lampstands of gold, and for its lamps, of gold, by weight for every lampstand and for its lamps; and for the lampstands of silver, by weight for every lampstand and for its lamps, according to the use of every lampstand;

¹⁶ohvrileibade laudade kulla kaalust laud-laualt, ja hõbelaudade hõbedast,

¹⁶and the gold by weight for the tables of show bread, for every table; and silver for the tables of silver;

¹⁷puhtast kullast kahvlitest, piserdusnõudest ja kannudest, ja kuldpeekritest, iga peekri kaalust, ja hõbepeekritest, iga peekri kaalust,

¹⁷and the forks, and the basins, and the cups, of pure gold; and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls by weight for every bowl;

¹⁸ja suitsutusaltari selitatud kulla kaalust; ja kavandi vankriks, kuldkeerubiteks, kes tiibu laotasid ja Issanda seaduselaegast katsid.

¹⁸and for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot, the cherubim, that spread out, and covered the ark of the covenant of Yahweh.

¹⁹'See kõik on kirja pandud. Issanda käest on mul õpetus igaks selle kavandi kohaseks tööks.'

¹⁹“All this,” said David, “I have been made to understand in writing from the hand of Yahweh, even all the works of this pattern.”

²⁰Ja Taavet ütles oma pojale Saalomonile: 'Ole vahva ja tugev, ja tee seda, ära karda ega kohku, sest Issand Jumal, minu Jumal, on sinuga! Tema ei jäta sind maha ega hülga sind, kuni kõik tööd Issanda koja teenistuseks on lõpetatud.

²⁰David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do it. Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed; for Yahweh God, even my God, is with you. He will not fail you, nor forsake you, until all the work for the service of the house of Yahweh is finished.

²¹Ja vaata, seal on preestrite ja leviitide rühmad kõigeks Jumala koja teenistuseks, ja sul on igaks tööks neid, kes on kõigiti valmis ja kes oskavad igasugust tööd, vürstid ja kogu rahvas, kõigiks su käskudeks.'

²¹Behold, there are the divisions of the priests and the Levites, for all the service of God’s house. There shall be with you in all kinds of work every willing man who has skill, for any kind of service. Also the captains and all the people will be entirely at your command.”
