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

¹Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. his God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.

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

²Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers’ households.

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

³So Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the Tent of Meeting of God, which Moses the servant of Yahweh 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 David had brought the ark of God up from Kiriath Jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched 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.

⁵Moreover the bronze altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of Yahweh: and Solomon and the assembly were seeking counsel there.

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

⁶Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before Yahweh, which was at the Tent of Meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on 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 you.”

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

⁸Solomon said to God, “You have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his place.

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, Yahweh God, let your promise to David my father be established; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.

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

¹⁰Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this your people, that is so great?”

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,

¹¹God said to Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of those who hate you, neither yet have asked long life; but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge my people, over whom I have made you 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 is granted to you. I will give you riches, wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before you; neither shall there any after you have the like.”

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

¹³So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting, to Jerusalem; and he 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.

¹⁴Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he placed 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.

¹⁵The king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.

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

¹⁶The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and from Kue; the king’s merchants purchased them from Kue.

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

¹⁷They brought up and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Syria, they brought them out by their means.

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