¹In David zbere v Jeruzalem vse poglavarje Izraelove, vojvode rodov in poveljnike trum, ki so stregli kralju zaporedoma, in poveljnike čez tisoč in čez sto in oskrbnike imetja in posestev kraljevih in sinov njegovih, z dvorniki in junaki in z vsemi hrabrimi možmi vred.

¹And David assembleth all the heads of Israel, heads of the tribes, and heads of the courses who are serving the king, and heads of the thousands, and heads of the hundreds, and heads of all the substance and possessions of the king, and of his sons, with the officers and the mighty ones, even to every mighty one of valour — unto Jerusalem.

²Tedaj se postavi kralj David na noge in govori: Poslušajte me, bratje moji in ljudstvo moje! Jaz sem se namenil v srcu svojem, da zgradim hišo počivanja skrinji zaveze GOSPODOVE in podnožju nog Boga našega, in sem se pripravljal za zidanje.

²And David the king riseth on his feet, and saith, `Hear me, my brethren and my people, I — with my heart — to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and for the footstool of our God, and I prepared to build,

³Ali Bog mi je rekel: Ti ne boš gradil hiše mojemu imenu, ker si mož vojščak in si kri prelival.

³and God hath said to me, Thou dost not build a house to My name, for a man of wars thou [art], and blood thou hast shed.

⁴Toda mene je GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov, izvolil iz vse hiše očeta mojega, da bodem kralj Izraelu vekomaj; zakaj Judo si je izbral, da bodi vojvoda, in v družini Judovi hišo očeta mojega, in med sinovi očeta mojega si je blagovoljno izbral mene, da me postavi za kralja vsemu Izraelu;

⁴`And Jehovah, God of Israel, doth fix on me out of all the house of my father to be for king over Israel to the age, for on Judah He hath fixed for a leader, and in the house of Judah, the house of my father, and among the sons of my father, on me, [me] He hath been pleased to make king over all Israel;

⁵a med vsemi sinovi mojimi – kajti mnogo sinov mi je dal GOSPOD – si je izvolil Salomona, sina mojega, da bo sedel na prestolu kraljestva GOSPODOVEGA nad Izraelom.

⁵and out of all my sons — for many sons hath Jehovah given to me — He also fixeth on Solomon my son, to sit on the throne of the kingdom of Jehovah over Israel,

⁶In mi je dejal: Salomon, sin tvoj, bo zgradil hišo mojo in veže moje, zakaj izvolil sem ga, da mi bodi sin in jaz mu bodem oče.

⁶and saith to me, Solomon thy son, he doth build My house, and My courts, for I have fixed on him to Me for a son, and I — I am to him for a father,

⁷In utrdim kraljestvo njegovo na vekomaj, ako bode stanovitno izpolnjeval zapovedi in sodbe moje, kakor se danes godi.

⁷and I have established his kingdom to the age, if he is strong to do My commands, and My judgments, as at this day.

⁸Sedaj torej, vpričo vsega Izraela, zbora GOSPODOVEGA, in vpričo Boga našega velim: Izpolnjujte in v čislih imejte vse zapovedi GOSPODA, Boga svojega, da bi dedno vladali to dobro deželo in jo v dedno last zapustili otrokom svojim za seboj na vekomaj.

⁸`And now, before the eyes of all Israel, the assembly of Jehovah, and in the ears of our God, keep and seek all the commands of Jehovah your God, so that ye possess this good land, and have caused your sons to inherit after you unto the age.

⁹Ti pa Salomon, sin moj, spoznaj Boga, ki je Bog očeta tvojega, in mu služi z nerazdeljenim srcem in z radovoljnim duhom! Kajti GOSPOD preiskuje vsa srca in razume vse naklepe misli. Ga li boš iskal, ga najdeš; ako ga pa zapustiš, te zavrže vekomaj!

⁹`And thou, Solomon, my son, know the God of thy father, and serve Him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind, for all hearts is Jehovah seeking, and every imagination of the thoughts He is understanding; if thou dost seek Him, He is found of thee, and if thou dost forsake Him, He casteth thee off for ever.

¹⁰Sedaj torej pazi, kajti GOSPOD te je izvolil, da zgradiš hišo za svetišče; močan bodi in delaj!

¹⁰See, now, for Jehovah hath fixed on thee to build a house for a sanctuary; be strong, and do.`

¹¹Nato je dal David Salomonu, sinu svojemu, načrt veže pri templju in njegovih hiš in zakladnic in zgornjih sob in notranjih hramov in prostora za spravni pokrov,

¹¹And David giveth to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of its houses, and of its treasures, and of its upper chambers, and of its innermost chambers, and of the house of the atonement;

¹²in načrt vsega, kar mu je bilo v duhu: o dvorih hiše GOSPODOVE in o vseh hramih naokoli, o zakladnicah hiše Božje in zakladnicah posvečenih reči;

¹²and the pattern of all that hath been by the Spirit with him, for the courts of the house of Jehovah, and for all the chambers round about, for the treasures of the house of God, and for the treasures of the things sacrificed;

¹³tudi o oddelkih duhovnikov in levitov in o vsem delu službe v hiši GOSPODOVI in o vseh pripravah za službo v hiši GOSPODOVI;

¹³and for the courses of the priests and of the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, and for all vessels of service of the house of Jehovah,

¹⁴o zlatu po teži za vsakovrstne zlate posode v službo, o teži srebra za vse srebrne posode, za vsakovrstno posodje v službo,

¹⁴even gold by weight, for [things of] gold, for all instruments of service and service; for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of service and service;

¹⁵in je določil težo zlata za zlate svečnike in njih svetilnice po teži za vsak svečnik in njegove svetilnice, in za svečnike srebrne po teži, kolikor treba za vsak svečnik in njegove svetilnice;

¹⁵and [by] weight for the candlesticks of gold, and their lamps of gold, by weight [for] candlestick and candlestick, and its lamps; and for the candlesticks of silver, by weight for a candlestick and its lamps, according to the service of candlestick and candlestick;

¹⁶tudi težo zlata za mize z razvrščenimi kruhi, za vsako mizo, in srebra za srebrne mize;

¹⁶and the gold [by] weight for tables of the arrangement, for table and table, and silver for the tables of silver;

¹⁷tudi čistega zlata za vilice in čaše in konvice, in za zlate kupe, za vsako kupo po njeni teži, in za srebrne kupe, za vsako po njeni teži,

¹⁷and the forks, and the bowls, and the cups of pure gold, and for the basins of gold, by weight for basin and basin, and for the basins of silver, by weight for basin and basin,

¹⁸in za kadilni oltar prečiščenega zlata po teži, in za podobo voza kerubov, ki razprostirata peruti in pokrivata skrinjo zaveze GOSPODOVE.

¹⁸and for the altar of perfume refined gold by weight, and for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubs of gold — spreading and covering over the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.

¹⁹O vsem tem, je rekel David, o vseh posameznostih načrta me je poučil GOSPOD v pismu, ko je bila roka njegova nad menoj.

¹⁹The whole [is] in writing from the hand of Jehovah, `He caused me to understand all the work of the pattern,` [said David.]

²⁰In David je dejal Salomonu, sinu svojemu: Bodi močan in srčen, in delaj! ne boj se in ne plaši se, zakaj GOSPOD Bog, moj Bog, je s teboj, ne odtegne se ti in te ne zapusti, dokler ne dokončaš vsega dela za službo hiše GOSPODOVE.In glej, so tu oddelki duhovnikov in levitov za vso službo hiše Božje, in bodo pri tebi prostovoljniki za vsako delo, izurjeni v vsakovrstnem delu, tudi poveljniki in vse ljudstvo ti. bo povsem na razpolago.

²⁰And David saith to Solomon his son, `Be strong, and courageous, and do; do not fear nor be affrighted, for Jehovah God, my God, [is] with thee; He doth not fail thee, nor forsake thee, unto the completion of all the work of the service of the house of Jehovah.

²¹In glej, so tu oddelki duhovnikov in levitov za vso službo hiše Božje, in bodo pri tebi prostovoljniki za vsako delo, izurjeni v vsakovrstnem delu, tudi poveljniki in vse ljudstvo ti. bo povsem na razpolago.

²¹`And lo, courses of the priests and of the Levites [are] for all the service of the house of God; and with thee in all work [is] every willing one with wisdom, for every service; and the heads and all the people [are] according to all thy words.`
