¹In David reče: Tu bodi hiša GOSPODA, Boga, in tu bodi oltar za žgalne daritve Izraelu!

¹And David saith, `This is the house of Jehovah God, and this the altar for burnt-offering for Israel.`

²In David ukaže, naj zbero tujce, ki so bili v deželi Izraelovi; in nastavi kamenarje, da sekajo kamene na štiri ogle za zgradbo hiše Božje.

²And David saith to gather the sojourners who [are] in the land of Israel, and appointeth hewers to hew hewn-stones to build a house of God.

³In David je pripravil obilico železa za žeblje k durnicam pri vratih in za spojke, brona tudi toliko, da ga ni bilo moči stehtati,

³And iron in abundance for nails for leaves of the gates, and for couplings, hath David prepared, and brass in abundance — there is no weighing.

⁴tudi cedrovega lesa brez števila; kajti Sidonci in Tirci so pripeljali mnogo cedrovine Davidu.

⁴And cedar-trees even without number, for the Zidonians and the Tyrians brought in cedar-trees in abundance to David.

⁵In David je rekel: Salomon, sin moj, je mlad in šibek, hiša pa, ki se ima zidati za GOSPODA, mora biti silno velika, da gre njen glas in njena slava po vseh deželah: pripravim torej zanjo. Oskrbel je torej David mnogo gradiva pred smrtjo svojo.

⁵And David saith, `Solomon my son [is] a youth and tender, and the house to be built to Jehovah [is] to be made exceedingly great, for name and for beauty to all the lands; let me prepare, I pray Thee, for it;` and David prepareth in abundance before his death.

⁶In pokliče sina svojega Salomona in mu zapove zgraditi hišo GOSPODU, Bogu Izraelovemu.

⁶And he calleth for Solomon his son, and chargeth him to build a house to Jehovah, God of Israel,

⁷In veli David Salomonu: Sin moj, jaz sem se namenil v srcu svojem, da zgradim hišo imenu GOSPODA, Boga svojega.

⁷and David saith to Solomon his son, `As for me, it hath been with my heart to build a house to the name of Jehovah my God,

⁸Ali beseda GOSPODOVA je prišla k meni, govoreč: Prelil si mnogo krvi in imel velike boje; ti ne boš zidal hiše imenu mojemu, ker si prelil mnogo krvi na zemljo vpričo mene.

⁸and the word of Jehovah [is] against me, saying, Blood in abundance thou hast shed, and great wars thou hast made: thou dost not build a house to My name, for much blood thou hast shed to the earth before Me.

⁹Glej, sin se ti bo rodil, ki bode mož pokoja, in pripravim mu pokoj pred vsemi sovražniki njegovimi okoli; kajti Salomon [T. j. Miroslav.] mu bode ime, ker mir in pokoj dam Izraelu v dnevih njegovih.

⁹`Lo, a son is born to thee; he is a man of rest, and I have given rest to him from all his enemies round about, for Solomon is his name, and peace and quietness I give unto Israel in his days;

¹⁰On zgradi hišo imenu mojemu; in on mi bode sin, in jaz mu bodem oče, in kraljestva njegovega prestol utrdim nad Izraelom za vekomaj!

¹⁰he doth build a house to My name, and he is to Me for a son, and I [am] to him for a father, and I have established the throne of his kingdom over Israel unto the age.

¹¹Sedaj pa bodi GOSPOD s teboj, sin moj, da ti gre po sreči in postaviš hišo GOSPODU, Bogu svojemu, kakor je govoril zate.

¹¹`Now, my son, Jehovah is with thee, and thou hast prospered, and hast built the house of Jehovah thy God, as He spake concerning thee.

¹²GOSPOD ti samo daj razum in previdnost in ti poveri vlado nad Izraelom, da bi izpolnjeval zakon GOSPODA, Boga svojega.

¹²Only, Jehovah give to thee wisdom and understanding, and charge thee concerning Israel, even to keep the law of Jehovah thy God;

¹³Tedaj boš imel srečo, ako boš pazil, da izpolnjuješ postave in sodbe, ki jih je GOSPOD ukazal Mojzesu za Izraela. Bodi močan in srčen, ne boj se in ne plaši se!

¹³then thou dost prosper, if thou dost observe to do the statutes and the judgments that Jehovah charged Moses with concerning Israel; be strong and courageous; do not fear, nor be cast down.

¹⁴In glej, v trudovitem življenju svojem sem pripravil za hišo GOSPODOVO sto tisoč talentov zlata in tisočkrat tisoč talentov srebra, brona in železa pa, da ga ni moči stehtati, kajti preobilo ga je; lesa in kamenja sem tudi pripravil, ti pa lahko še prideneš k temu!

¹⁴`And lo, in mine affliction, I have prepared for the house of Jehovah of gold talents a hundred thousand, and of silver a thousand thousand talents; and of brass and of iron there is no weighing, for in abundance it hath been, and wood and stones I have prepared, and to them thou dost add.

¹⁵Vrhutega imaš pri sebi dosti delavcev, kamenosekov, klesarjev in obdelovalcev lesa in vsakršnih veščakov za vsakovrstna dela.

¹⁵`And with thee in abundance [are] workmen, hewers and artificers of stone and of wood, and every skilful man for every work.

¹⁶Zlatu, srebru, bronu, železu ni števila. Vstani in delaj, in GOSPOD bodi s teboj!

¹⁶To the gold, to the silver, and to the brass, and to the iron, there is no number; arise and do, and Jehovah is with thee.`

¹⁷David je tudi zapovedal vsem knezom Izraelovim, naj pomagajo Salomonu, sinu njegovemu:

¹⁷And David giveth charge to all heads of Israel to give help to Solomon his son,

¹⁸Ni li z vami GOSPOD, Bog vaš? in ni li vam oskrbel pokoja na vseh straneh? Kajti prebivalce te dežele je dal v mojo roko, in dežela je podvržena GOSPODU in ljudstvu njegovemu.Dajte torej srca svoja in duše svoje, da iščete GOSPODA, Boga svojega! In vstanite in zidajte svetišče GOSPODA Boga, da prineso skrinjo zaveze GOSPODOVE in svete posode Božje v hišo, ki se ima zgraditi imenu GOSPODOVEMU!

¹⁸`Is not Jehovah your God with you? yea, He hath given rest to you round about, for He hath given into my hand the inhabitants of the land, and subdued hath been the land before His people.

¹⁹Dajte torej srca svoja in duše svoje, da iščete GOSPODA, Boga svojega! In vstanite in zidajte svetišče GOSPODA Boga, da prineso skrinjo zaveze GOSPODOVE in svete posode Božje v hišo, ki se ima zgraditi imenu GOSPODOVEMU!

¹⁹`Now, give your heart and your soul to seek to Jehovah your God, and rise and build the sanctuary of Jehovah God, to bring in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and the holy vessels of God, to the house that is built to the name of Jehovah.`
