¹Siis kõneles Saalomon: 'Issand on öelnud, et ta tahab elada pimeduses.

¹Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

²Mina olen sulle ehitanud valitsuskoja, su igavese eluaseme paiga.'

²But I have built you a house of habitation, and a place for you to dwell in forever.”

³Ja kuningas pööras oma palge ja õnnistas kogu Iisraeli kogudust, ja kogu Iisraeli kogudus seisis.

³The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood.

⁴Ja ta ütles: 'Kiidetud olgu Issand, Iisraeli Jumal, kes oma kätega on tõeks teinud, mida ta oma suuga on kõnelnud mu isale Taavetile, öeldes:

⁴He said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hands fulfilled it, saying,

⁵Sellest päevast alates, kui ma tõin oma rahva ära Egiptusemaalt, ei ole ma üheltki Iisraeli suguharult valinud ühtegi linna, kuhu ehitada koda, kus oleks mu nimi, ega ole ma ka valinud ühtegi meest, kes oleks olnud vürstiks mu Iisraeli rahvale.

⁵‘Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be prince over my people Israel:

⁶Aga ma olen valinud Jeruusalemma, et seal oleks mu nimi, ja ma olen valinud Taaveti, et ta valitseks mu Iisraeli rahva üle.

⁶but I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’

⁷Mu isal Taavetil oli küll südame peal ehitada koda Issanda, Iisraeli Jumala nimele.

⁷Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

⁸Aga Issand ütles mu isale Taavetile: Et sul südame peal on ehitada mu nimele koda, siis oled sa hästi teinud, kui see sul südame peal on.

⁸But Yahweh said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart:

⁹Ometi ei ehita sina koda, vaid su poeg, kes su niudeist välja tuleb, ehitab minu nimele koja.

⁹nevertheless you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come forth out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’

¹⁰Ja Issand on pidanud oma sõna, mis ta kõneles, ja mina olen tõusnud oma isa Taaveti asemele ja istun Iisraeli aujärjel, nõnda nagu Issand on kõnelnud, ja ma olen ehitanud koja Issanda, Iisraeli Jumala nimele.

¹⁰“Yahweh has performed his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised, and have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

¹¹Ja ma olen sinna pannud laeka, mille sees on Issanda seadus, mille ta Iisraeli lastele andis.'

¹¹There I have set the ark, in which is the covenant of Yahweh, which he made with the children of Israel.”

¹²Siis ta astus Issanda altari ette kogu Iisraeli koguduse juuresolekul ja sirutas oma käed välja.

¹²He stood before the altar of Yahweh in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands

¹³Saalomon oli valmistanud vasklava, viis küünart pika, viis küünart laia ja kolm küünart kõrge, ja oli selle pannud keset õue. Ja ta astus selle peale, heitis põlvili kogu Iisraeli koguduse nähes, sirutas oma käed taeva poole

¹³(for Solomon had made a bronze scaffold, five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and on it he stood, and kneeled down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven;)

¹⁴ja ütles: 'Issand, Iisraeli Jumal! Sinu sarnast jumalat ei ole taevas ega maa peal, sina pead lepingut ja osadust oma sulastega, kes käivad su ees kõigest südamest,

¹⁴and he said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven, or on earth; you who keep covenant and loving kindness with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart;

¹⁵sina oled pidanud oma sulasele, mu isale Taavetile, mis sa temale olid lubanud. Jah, mis sa oma suuga oled kõnelnud, selle oled sa oma käega tõeks teinud, nõnda nagu see täna on sündinud.

¹⁵who have kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him: yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.

¹⁶Ja nüüd, Issand, Iisraeli Jumal, pea oma sulasele, mu isale Taavetile, mis sa temale tõotasid, öeldes: Ei puudu sul minu palge ees mees, kes istub Iisraeli aujärjel, kui ainult su pojad hoiavad oma teed, käies mu Seaduse järgi, nõnda nagu sina oled käinud mu ees.

¹⁶“Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk in my law as you have walked before me.’

¹⁷Ja nüüd, Issand, Iisraeli Jumal, saagu tõeks su sõna, mis sa oled kõnelnud oma sulasele Taavetile!

¹⁷Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David.

¹⁸Aga kas Jumal tõesti peaks elama koos inimestega maa peal? Vaata, taevad ja taevaste taevad ei mahuta sind, veel vähem siis see koda, mille ma olen ehitanud.

¹⁸“But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house which I have built!

¹⁹Aga pöördu oma sulase palve ja ta anumise poole, Issand, mu Jumal, et sa kuuleksid kaebehüüdu ja palvet, mida su sulane palvetab sinu ees,

¹⁹Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant, and to his supplication, Yahweh my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you;

²⁰et su silmad oleksid lahti päevad ja ööd selle koja kohal, selle paiga kohal, mille kohta sa oled öelnud, et sa paned sinna oma nime ja kuuled palvet, mida su sulane palvetab selle paiga poole!

²⁰that your eyes may be open toward this house day and night, even toward the place where you have said that you would put your name; to listen to the prayer which your servant shall pray toward this place.

²¹Kuule siis oma sulase ja oma Iisraeli rahva anumist, kuidas nad palvetavad selle paiga poole! Jah, kuule paigast, kus sa elad - taevast! Ja kui sa kuuled, siis anna andeks!

²¹Listen to the petitions of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: yes, hear from your dwelling place, even from heaven; and when you hear, forgive.

²²Kui keegi oma ligimese vastu pattu teeb ja talle pannakse peale vanne teda vannutades, ja vandeasi tuleb sinu altari ette siia kotta,

²²“If a man sin against his neighbor, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before your altar in this house;

²³siis kuule sina taevast ja tee ning mõista õigust oma sulastele: mõista süüdlane süüdi, pane tema teod ta pea peale, õige aga mõista õigeks, anna temale ta õigust mööda!

²³then hear from heaven, and do, and judge your servants, bringing retribution to the wicked, to bring his way on his own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

²⁴Ja kui su Iisraeli rahvas lüüakse maha vaenlase ees, sellepärast et nad sinu vastu on pattu teinud, ent nad pöörduvad ja kiidavad sinu nime, palvetavad ja anuvad su ees siin kojas,

²⁴“If your people Israel be struck down before the enemy, because they have sinned against you, and shall turn again and confess your name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house;

²⁵siis kuule sina taevast ja anna andeks oma Iisraeli rahva patt ja too nad tagasi maale, mille sa oled andnud neile ja nende vanemaile!

²⁵then hear from heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to them and to their fathers.

²⁶Kui taevas on suletud ja vihma ei ole, sellepärast et nad on sinu vastu pattu teinud, aga nad palvetavad selle paiga poole ja kiidavad sinu nime ja pöörduvad oma patust, sellepärast et sa neid oled alandanud,

²⁶“When the sky is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; if they pray toward this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you afflict them:

²⁷siis kuule sina taevast ja anna andeks oma sulaste ja oma Iisraeli rahva patt, sest sina õpetad neile head teed, mida nad peavad käima, ja anna vihma oma maale, mille sa oled andnud pärisosaks oma rahvale!

²⁷then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.

²⁸Kui maale tuleb nälg, katk, kui tuleb viljakõrvetus või -rooste, kui tulevad rohutirtsud ja mardikad, kui vaenlased teda rõhuvad ta maa väravais, kui tabab mingi nuhtlus või mingi haigus,

²⁸“If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is;

²⁹siis iga palvet ja iga anumist, mis iganes tuleb mõne inimese või kogu su Iisraeli rahva poolt, kui nad igaüks tunnevad oma häda ja valu ja sirutavad oma käed selle koja poole,

²⁹whatever prayer and supplication be made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who shall know every man his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house:

³⁰kuule sina siis taevast, oma asupaigast, ja anna andeks ning anna igaühele tema tegusid mööda, nõnda nagu sa tunned tema südant, sest sina üksi tunned inimlaste südant,

³⁰then hear from heaven, your dwelling place and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know; (for you, even you only, know the hearts of the children of men;)

³¹et nad kardaksid sind ja käiksid su teedel kõigil neil päevil, mil nad elavad maal, mille sa oled andnud meie vanemaile!

³¹that they may fear you, to walk in your ways, so long as they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.

³²Aga ka võõramaalast, kes ei ole sinu Iisraeli rahva hulgast, tuleb aga kaugelt maalt sinu suure nime, vägeva käe ja väljasirutatud käsivarre pärast - kui ta tuleb ja palvetab selle koja poole -,

³²“Moreover concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he shall come from a far country for your great name’s sake, and your mighty hand, and your outstretched arm; when they shall come and pray toward this house:

³³kuule sina taevast, oma asupaigast, ja tee kõike, mille pärast võõras sinu poole hüüab, et kõik maa rahvad õpiksid tundma sinu nime ja kardaksid sind, nõnda nagu su Iisraeli rahvas, ja et nad teaksid, et sinu nimi on pandud kojale, mille ma olen ehitanud!

³³then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, and fear you, as does your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.

³⁴Kui su rahvas läheb sõtta oma vaenlaste vastu, teekonnale, kuhu sa nad läkitad, ja nad palvetavad sinu poole selle linna suunas, mille sina oled valinud, ja koja suunas, mille mina olen ehitanud su nimele,

³⁴“If your people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to you toward this city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name;

³⁵siis kuule taevast nende palvet ja anumist ja tee neile õigust!

³⁵then hear from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

³⁶Kui nad sinu vastu pattu teevad - sest pole inimest, kes pattu ei tee - ja sina vihastud nende peale ning annad nad vaenlase kätte, nõnda et nende vangistajad viivad neid vangi kaugemale või lähemale maale,

³⁶“If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to a land far off or near;

³⁷aga kui nad siis seda südamesse võtavad maal, kuhu nad on vangi viidud, ja pöörduvad ning anuvad sind oma vangistusemaal, öeldes: Me oleme pattu teinud, oleme eksinud ja saanud süüdlasteks!

³⁷yet if they shall repent themselves in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have dealt wickedly;’

³⁸ja pöörduvad sinu poole kõigest oma südamest ja kõigest oma hingest oma vangistusemaal, kuhu nad on vangi viidud, ja palvetavad oma maa suunas, mille sa oled andnud nende vanemaile, ja linna suunas, mille sina oled valinud, ja koja suunas, mille mina olen ehitanud sinu nimele,

³⁸if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have carried them captive, and pray toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, and the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name:

³⁹siis kuule taevast, oma asupaigast, nende palvet ja anumist, tee neile õigust ja anna andeks oma rahvale, kes sinu vastu on pattu teinud!

³⁹then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, their prayer and their petitions, and maintain their cause, and forgive your people who have sinned against you.

⁴⁰Nüüd, mu Jumal, olgu siis su silmad lahti ja su kõrvad pangu tähele palvet selles paigas!

⁴⁰“Now, my God, let, I beg you, your eyes be open, and let your ears be attentive, to the prayer that is made in this place.

⁴¹Ja nüüd, Issand Jumal, tõuse, tule oma hingamispaika, sina ja su võimsuselaegas! Su preestrid, Issand Jumal, olgu õnnistusega ehitud, ja su vagad tundku rõõmu sellest, mis on hea!

⁴¹“Now therefore arise, Yahweh God, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength: let your priests, Yahweh God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in goodness.

⁴²Issand Jumal, ära hülga oma võitut! Mõtle oma sulase Taaveti osadusele!'

⁴²“Yahweh God, don’t turn away the face of your anointed. Remember your loving kindnesses to David your servant.”
