¹Tedaj je zbral kralj Salomon k sebi v Jeruzalem starejšine Izraelove in vse poglavarje rodov, kneze očetovinam sinov Izraelovih, da prineso skrinjo zaveze GOSPODOVE gori iz mesta Davidovega, to je Sion.

¹Then doth Solomon assemble the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, princes of the fathers of the sons of Israel, unto king Solomon, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah from the city of David — it [is] Zion;

²In vsi možje so se zbrali h kralju Salomonu v mesecu Etanimu, to je sedmi mesec, ob prazniku.

²and all the men of Israel are assembled unto king Solomon, in the month of Ethanim, in the festival — [is] the seventh month.

³In pridejo vsi starejšine Izraelovi, in duhovniki vzdignejo skrinjo,

³And all the elders of Israel come in, and the priests lift up the ark,

⁴in neso gori skrinjo GOSPODOVO in shodni šator in vse svete posode, ki so bile v šatoru; duhovniki in leviti so jih prinesli gori.

⁴and bring up the ark of Jehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that [are] in the tent, yea, the priests and the Levites bring them up.

⁵In kralj Salomon in vsa občina Izraelova, kar se jih je zbralo pri njem, so ž njim bili pred skrinjo in so darovali drobnice in govedi toliko, da se ni računila, ne štela zaradi množine.

⁵And king Solomon and all the company of Israel who are met unto him [are] with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that are not counted nor numbered for multitude.

⁶In duhovniki prineso skrinjo zaveze GOSPODOVE na njeno mesto, v govorišče hiše, v Najsvetejše, pod peruti kerubov;

⁶And the priests bring in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah unto its place, unto the oracle of the house, unto the holy of holies, unto the place of the wings of the cherubs;

⁷zakaj keruba sta razprostirala peruti nad mestom skrinje, in keruba sta pokrivala skrinjo in njena droga odzgoraj.

⁷for the cherubs are spreading forth two wings unto the place of the ark, and the cherubs cover over the ark, and over its staves from above;

⁸Droga pa sta bila toliko dolga, da sta se njuna konca videla iz svetišča pred govoriščem, ali zunaj ju ni bilo videti; in ondi sta do današnjega dne.

⁸and they lengthen the staves, and the heads of the staves are seen from the holy [place] on the front of the oracle, and are not seen without, and they are there unto this day.

⁹Ničesar ni bilo v skrinji razen dveh kamenenih desek, ki ju je vanjo vložil Mojzes na Horebu, kjer je GOSPOD sklenil zavezo s sinovi Izraelovimi, ko so bili šli iz Egipta.

⁹There is nothing in the ark, only the two tables of stone which Moses put there in Horeb, when Jehovah covenanted with the sons of Israel in their going out of the land of Egypt.

¹⁰In ko so šli duhovniki iz svetišča, je oblak napolnil hišo GOSPODOVO,

¹⁰And it cometh to pass, in the going out of the priests from the holy [place], that the cloud hath filled the house of Jehovah,

¹¹da niso mogli duhovniki stati, da opravljajo službo, spričo oblaka; kajti slava GOSPODOVA je napolnila hišo GOSPODOVO.

¹¹and the priests have not been able to stand to minister because of the cloud, for the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house of Jehovah.

¹²Tedaj reče Salomon: Jehova je rekel, da bo prebival v mrakoti.

¹²Then said Solomon, `Jehovah hath said to dwell in thick darkness;

¹³Zidal in dozidal sem ti hišo v prebivališče, stan tebi za sedež na vekomaj.

¹³I have surely built a house of habitation for Thee; a fixed place for Thine abiding to the ages.`

¹⁴In kralj obrne obličje in blagoslovi ves zbor Izraelov; in ves zbor Izraelov je stal.

¹⁴And the king turneth round his face, and blesseth the whole assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel is standing.

¹⁵In reče: Hvaljen bodi GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov, ki je obljubil z usti svojimi očetu mojemu Davidu in z roko svojo to izpolnil, rekoč:

¹⁵And he saith, `Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, who spake by His mouth with David my father, and by His hand hath fulfilled [it], saying,

¹⁶Od dne, ko sem odpeljal ljudstvo svoje Izraela iz Egipta, nisem izvolil nobenega mesta iz vseh rodov Izraelovih, da zgradi hišo, ki bi v njej prebivalo moje ime; ali izvolil sem Davida, da bodi nad mojim ljudstvom Izraelom.

¹⁶From the day that I brought out My people, even Israel, from Egypt, I have not fixed on a city out of all the tribes of Israel, to build a house for My name being there; and I fix on David to be over My people Israel.

¹⁷Bilo je res na srcu Davidu, očetu mojemu, da sezida hišo imenu GOSPODA, Boga Izraelovega.

¹⁷`And it is with the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, God of Israel,

¹⁸Toda GOSPOD je dejal očetu mojemu Davidu: Ker ti je bilo na srcu sezidati hišo mojemu imenu, si dobro storil, da si to imel v srcu.

¹⁸and Jehovah saith unto David my father, Because that it hath been with thy heart to build a house for My name, thou hast done well that it hath been with thy heart;

¹⁹Ali ti mi ne boš zidal hiše, marveč sin tvoj, ki pride iz ledja tvojega, ta bo zgradil hišo mojemu imenu.

¹⁹only, thou dost not build the house, but thy son who is coming out from thy loins, he doth build the house for My name.

²⁰In GOSPOD je vzdržal besedo svojo, ki jo je bil govoril, in jaz sem nastopil na očeta svojega Davida mesto in sem sedel na prestol Izraelov, kakor je bil govoril GOSPOD, in zgradil sem hišo imenu Jehove, Boga Izraelovega;

²⁰`And Jehovah doth establish His word which He spake, and I am risen up instead of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah spake, and build the house for the name of Jehovah, God of Israel,

²¹in tam sem pripravil mesto za skrinjo, ki je v njej zaveza GOSPODOVA, katero je sklenil z očeti našimi, ko jih je peljal iz Egiptovske dežele.

²¹and set there a place for the ark, where [is] the covenant of Jehovah which He made with our fathers in His bringing them out from the land of Egypt.`

²²Nato stopi Salomon pred oltar GOSPODOV vpričo vsega zbora Izraelovega in razprostre roke proti nebu

²²And Solomon standeth before the altar of Jehovah, over-against all the assembly of Israel, and spreadeth his hands towards the heavens,

²³in reče: O GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov, tebi ni enakega Boga v nebesih gori in na zemlji doli, ki hraniš zavezo in milost hlapcem svojim, kateri hodijo pred obličjem tvojim z vsem srcem svojim;

²³and saith, `Jehovah, God of Israel, there is not a God like Thee, in the heavens above, and on the earth beneath, keeping the covenant and the kindness for Thy servants, those walking before Thee with all their heart,

²⁴ki si ohranil hlapcu svojemu Davidu, očetu mojemu, kar si mu bil obljubil; z usti svojimi si govoril in z roko svojo si to izpolnil, kakor se danes vidi.

²⁴who hast kept for Thy servant David my father that which Thou spakest to him; yea, Thou speakest with Thy mouth, and with Thy hand hast fulfilled [it], as [at] this day.

²⁵In sedaj, GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov, ohrani hlapcu svojemu Davidu, očetu mojemu, kar si mu bil obljubil, govoreč: Ne bo ti zmanjkalo moža pred obličjem mojim, ki bo sedel na prestolu Izraelovem, samo če pazijo sinovi tvoji na svojo pot, da hodijo pred menoj, kakor si ti hodil pred menoj.

²⁵`And now, Jehovah, God of Israel, keep for Thy servant David my father that which Thou spakest to him, saying, There is not cut off to thee a man from before Me, sitting on the throne of Israel — only, if thy sons watch their way, to walk before Me as thou hast walked before Me.

²⁶Sedaj torej, o Bog Izraelov, naj se, prosim, uresniči beseda tvoja, ki si jo govoril hlapcu svojemu Davidu, očetu mojemu.

²⁶`And now, O God of Israel, let it be established, I pray Thee, Thy word which Thou hast spoken to Thy servant, David my father.

²⁷Toda v resnici prebiva li Bog na zemlji? Glej, nebo in vseh nebes nebesa te ne morejo obseči, koliko manj ta hiša, ki sem jo sezidal!

²⁷But, is it true? — God dwelleth on the earth! lo, the heavens, and the heavens of the heavens do not contain Thee, how much less this house which I have builded!

²⁸Vendar se obrni k molitvi svojega hlapca in k njegovi prošnji, GOSPOD, moj Bog, da poslušaš glas in molitev, ki jo moli hlapec tvoj pred teboj danes:

²⁸`Then thou hast turned unto the prayer of Thy servant, and unto his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken unto the cry and unto the prayer which Thy servant is praying before Thee to-day,

²⁹da bodo oči tvoje odprte proti tej hiši po dne in po noči, proti mestu, ki si o njem rekel: Moje ime bode ondi, da uslišiš molitev, ki jo bo molil hlapec tvoj na tem mestu.

²⁹for Thine eyes being open towards this house night and day, towards the place of which Thou hast said, My Name is there; to hearken unto the prayer which Thy servant prayeth towards this place.

³⁰Poslušaj torej prošnjo hlapca svojega in ljudstva svojega Izraela, ki jo bodo prosili obrnjeni proti temu mestu, poslušaj na mestu prebivanja svojega, v nebesih, poslušaj in odpuščaj!

³⁰`Then Thou hast hearkened unto the supplication of Thy servant, and of Thy people Israel, which they pray towards this place; yea, Thou dost hearken in the place of Thy dwelling, in the heavens — and Thou hast hearkened, and hast forgiven,

³¹Ako se kdo pregreši zoper bližnjega svojega in se mu naloži prisega, da se zaveže s prisego, in prisega pride pred tvoj oltar v tej hiši:

³¹that which a man sinneth against his neighbour, and he hath lifted up upon him an oath to cause him to swear, and the oath hath come in before Thine altar in this house,

³²ti poslušaj v nebesih in stóri, da se pravica zgodi hlapcem tvojim, s tem, da obsodiš krivičnega ter mu pripraviš pot njegovo nad glavo, pravičnega pa opravičiš ter mu poplačaš po pravičnosti njegovi.

³²then Thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast done, and hast judged Thy servants, to declare wicked the wicked, to put his way on his head, and to declare righteous the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

³³Kadar bo sovražnik porazil pred seboj ljudstvo tvoje, Izraela, ker so grešili zoper tebe, pa se zopet obrnejo k tebi in pripoznajo tvoje ime in bodo molili in ponižno prosili tebe v tej hiši:

³³`In Thy people Israel being smitten before an enemy, because they sin against Thee, and they have turned back unto Thee, and have confessed Thy name, and prayed, and made supplication unto Thee in this house,

³⁴ti poslušaj v nebesih in odpusti greh ljudstva svojega Izraela ter jih zopet pripelji v deželo, ki si jo dal njih očetom.

³⁴then thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast forgiven the sin of Thy people Israel, and brought them back unto the ground that Thou gavest to their fathers.

³⁵Kadar se zapre nebo, da ni dežja, ker so grešili zoper tebe, pa bodo molili obrnjeni proti temu mestu in pripoznavali tvoje ime, in se obrnejo od grehov svojih, ker si jih ponižal:

³⁵`In the heavens being restrained, and there is no rain, because they sin against Thee, and they have prayed towards this place, and confessed Thy name, and from their sin turn back, for Thou dost afflict them,

³⁶ti poslušaj v nebesih ter odpusti greh hlapcev svojih in ljudstva svojega Izraela, da jih učiš dobro pot, po kateri naj hodijo, in pošlješ dežja na deželo svojo, ki si jo dal v dediščino ljudstvu svojemu.

³⁶then Thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast forgiven the sin of Thy servants, and of Thy people Israel, for Thou directest them the good way in which they go, and hast given rain on Thy land which Thou hast given to Thy people for inheritance.

³⁷Kadar bode v deželi lakota, kadar pride kuga ali snet ali rja, kobilice ali gosenice; ko jih bo sovražnik oblegal v deželi njih mest; katerakoli bode nadloga, katerakoli bolezen:

³⁷`Famine — when it is in the land; pestilence — when it is; blasting, mildew, locust; caterpillar — when it is; when its enemy hath distressed it in the land [in] its gates, any plague, any sickness, —

³⁸kakršnokoli molitev in prošnjo opravlja kdo izmed vsega tvojega ljudstva Izraela, kadar spoznajo vsakteri srca svojega kazen in razprostro roke proti tej hiši:

³⁸any prayer, any supplication that [is] of any man of all Thy people Israel, who know each the plague of his own heart, and hath spread his hands towards this house,

³⁹ti poslušaj v nebesih, v mestu prebivanja svojega, in odpusti ter stóri, da daš vsakemu, kakor je živel, ker poznaš njegovo srce (zakaj ti, edini ti poznaš vseh človeških otrok srca),

³⁹then Thou dost hear in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, and hast forgiven, and hast done, and hast given to each according to all his ways, whose heart Thou knowest, (for Thou hast known — Thyself alone — the heart of all the sons of man),

⁴⁰da bi se te bali vse svoje žive dni v deželi, ki si jo dal očetom našim.

⁴⁰so that they fear Thee all the days that they are living on the face of the ground that Thou hast given to our fathers.

⁴¹Ako pa tudi inostranec, ki ni iz ljudstva tvojega Izraela, pride iz daljne dežele zaradi imena tvojega

⁴¹`And also, unto the stranger who is not of Thy people Israel, and hath come from a land afar off for Thy name`s sake —

⁴²(slišali bodo namreč o tvojem velikem imenu in o mogočni roki tvoji in o iztegnjeni rami tvoji), ko torej pride in bo molil proti tej hiši:

⁴²(for they hear of Thy great name, and of Thy strong hand, and of Thy stretched-out arm) — and he hath come in and prayed towards this house,

⁴³ti poslušaj v nebesih, v mestu prebivanja svojega, in stori vse, za kar te kliče inostranec; da spoznajo vsi narodi na zemlji tvoje ime, da bi se te bali kakor ljudstvo tvoje Izrael ter da se prepričajo, da se imenuje ta hiša, ki sem jo zgradil, po imenu tvojem.

⁴³Thou dost hear in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, and hast done according to all that the stranger calleth unto Thee for, in order that all the peoples of the earth may know Thy name, to fear Thee like Thy people Israel, and to know that Thy name hath been called on this house which I have builded.

⁴⁴Kadar pojde ljudstvo tvoje na vojsko zoper sovražnika svojega, po kateremkoli potu jih pošlješ, in bodo molili h GOSPODU, ozirajoč se proti mestu, ki si ga izvolil, in proti hiši, ki sem jo zgradil imenu tvojemu:

⁴⁴`When Thy people doth go out to battle against its enemy, in the way that Thou dost send them, and they have prayed unto Jehovah the way of the city which thou hast fixed on, and of the house which I have builded for Thy name;

⁴⁵ti poslušaj v nebesih njih molitev in prošnjo ter se potegni za njih pravdo.

⁴⁵then Thou hast heard in the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and hast maintained their cause.

⁴⁶Kadar se pregreše zoper tebe (kajti ni človeka, ki ne greši) in se razsrdiš ter jih izročiš sovražniku, da jih ujete peljejo v sovražnikov deželo, daleč ali blizu;

⁴⁶`When they sin against Thee (for there is not a man who sinneth not), and Thou hast been angry with them, and hast given them up before an enemy, and they have taken captive their captivity unto the land of the enemy far off or near;

⁴⁷pa se v svojem srcu premislijo v deželi, kamor so bili ujeti odpeljani, in se izpreobrnejo in te ponižno prosijo v deželi tistih, ki so jih ujete odvedli, govoreč: Grešili smo, krivično smo delali, brezbožno smo ravnali!

⁴⁷and they have turned [it] back unto their heart in the land whither they have been taken captive, and have turned back, and made supplication unto Thee, in the land of their captors, saying, We have sinned and done perversely — we have done wickedly;

⁴⁸ako se k tebi povrnejo iz vsega srca svojega in iz vse duše svoje v deželi sovražnikov svojih, ki so jih ujete odpeljali, in bodo molili k tebi, ozirajoč se proti deželi svoji, ki si jo dal njih očetom, proti mestu, ki si ga izvolil, in proti hiši, ki sem jo zgradil imenu tvojemu:

⁴⁸yea, they have turned back unto Thee, with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies who have taken them captive, and have prayed unto Thee the way of their land, which Thou gavest to their fathers, the city which Thou hast chosen, and the house which I have builded for Thy name:

⁴⁹ti poslušaj njih molitev in prošnjo v nebesih, v mestu prebivanja svojega, ter se potegni za njih pravdo

⁴⁹`Then Thou hast heard in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, their prayer and their supplication, and hast maintained their cause,

⁵⁰in odpusti ljudstvu svojemu, kar so grešili zoper tebe, in vse prestopke, s katerimi so prestopili zoper tebe, ter jim daj milost pred temi, ki jih imajo ujete, da se jih usmilijo:

⁵⁰and hast forgiven Thy people who have sinned against Thee, even all their transgressions which they have transgressed against Thee, and hast given them mercies before their captors, and they have had mercy [on] them —

⁵¹kajti tvoje ljudstvo so in tvoja dediščina, ki si jo peljal iz Egipta, iz peči železne.

⁵¹(for Thy people and Thy inheritance [are] they, whom Thou didst bring out of Egypt, out of the midst of the furnace of iron) —

⁵²Tako naj bodo oči tvoje odprte proti prošnji hlapca tvojega in prošnji ljudstva tvojega Izraela, da jih slišiš, kadarkoli kličejo k tebi.

⁵²for Thine eyes being open unto the supplication of Thy servant, and unto the supplication of Thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all they call unto Thee for;

⁵³Zakaj ti si jih odločil sebi v dediščino izmed vseh ljudstev zemlje, kakor si govoril po Mojzesu, hlapcu svojem, ko si peljal očete naše iz Egipta, o Gospod Jehova!

⁵³for Thou hast separated them to Thyself for an inheritance, out of all the peoples of the earth, as Thou didst speak by the hand of Moses Thy servant, in Thy bringing out our fathers from Egypt, O Lord Jehovah.`

⁵⁴In ko je Salomon izmolil in končal vso to molitev in prošnjo do GOSPODA, vstane izpred oltarja GOSPODOVEGA, kjer je pripognil kolena in iztegnil roke proti nebu.

⁵⁴And it cometh to pass, at Solomon`s finishing to pray unto Jehovah all this prayer and supplication, he hath risen from before the altar of Jehovah, from bending on his knees, and his hands spread out to the heavens,

⁵⁵In pristopi in blagoslovi ves zbor Izraelov z glasom velikim, govoreč:

⁵⁵and he standeth and blesseth all the assembly of Israel [with] a loud voice, saying,

⁵⁶Hvaljen bodi GOSPOD, ki je dal pokoj svojemu ljudstvu Izraelu po vsem, kakor je govoril! Ni izginila ena beseda izmed njegovih dobrih obljub, ki jih je govoril po Mojzesu, hlapcu svojem.

⁵⁶`Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He hath spoken; there hath not fallen one word of all His good word, which He spake by the hand of Moses his servant.

⁵⁷GOSPOD, naš Bog, bodi z nami, kakor je bil z očeti našimi, ne zapusti nas in ne zavrzi nas,

⁵⁷`Jehovah our God is with us as He hath been with our fathers; He doth not forsake us nor leave us;

⁵⁸da nagne srca naša k sebi, da bi hodili po vseh potih njegovih in izpolnjevali zapovedi njegove, postave in sodbe njegove, ki jih je zapovedal očetom našim.

⁵⁸to incline our heart unto Himself, to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commands, and His statutes, and His judgments, which He commanded our fathers;

⁵⁹Te moje besede pa, s katerimi sem prosil pred GOSPODOM, naj bodo blizu GOSPODA, našega Boga, po dne in po noči, da se poteguje za pravdo hlapca svojega in za pravdo svojega ljudstva Izraela, kolikor je vsak dan treba:

⁵⁹and these my words with which I have made supplication before Jehovah, are near unto Jehovah our God by day and by night, to maintain the cause of His servant, and the cause of His people Israel, the matter of a day in its day;

⁶⁰da bi spoznala vsa ljudstva na zemlji, da GOSPOD je Bog, nobenega ni drugega.

⁶⁰for all the peoples of the earth knowing that Jehovah, He [is] God; there is none else;

⁶¹Vaše srce pa bodi popolnoma vdano GOSPODU, Bogu našemu, da živite po postavah njegovih in izpolnjujete zapovedi njegove, kakor je danes.

⁶¹and your heart hath been perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in His statutes, and to keep His commands, as [at] this day.`

⁶²In kralj in ves Izrael ž njim je daroval daritve pred GOSPODOM.

⁶²And the king and all Israel with him are sacrificing a sacrifice before Jehovah;

⁶³In Salomon je zaklal mirovnih daritev, ki jih je poklonil GOSPODU, dvaindvajset tisoč goved in stoindvajset tisoč glav drobnice. Tako so posvečevali kralj in vsi sinovi Izraelovi hišo GOSPODOVO.

⁶³and Solomon sacrificeth the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he hath sacrificed to Jehovah, oxen, twenty and two thousand, and sheep, a hundred and twenty thousand; and the king and all the sons of Israel dedicate the house of Jehovah.

⁶⁴Tisti dan je kralj posvetil sredino dvorišča, ki je pred hišo GOSPODOVO; zakaj tam je daroval žgalne in jedilne žrtve in tolstino mirovnih daritev, ker bronasti oltar, ki je bil pred GOSPODOM, je bil premajhen, da bi prejel žgalne in jedilne žrtve in tolstino mirovnih daritev.

⁶⁴On that day hath the king sanctified the middle of the court that [is] before the house of Jehovah, for he hath made there the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat of the peace-offerings; for the altar of brass that [is] before Jehovah [is] too little to contain the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat of the peace-offerings.

⁶⁵In Salomon in ves Izrael ž njim, velik zbor, ki se je sešel od vhoda v Hamat tja do Egiptovskega potoka, je praznoval tisti čas praznik pred GOSPODOM, našim Bogom, sedem dni in zopet sedem dni, to je štirinajst dni.Osmi dan je razpustil ljudstvo; in oni so, blagoslovivši kralja, odšli v šatore svoje veseli in dobre volje zaradi vseh dobrot, ki jih je storil GOSPOD svojemu hlapcu Davidu in svojemu ljudstvu Izraelu.

⁶⁵And Solomon maketh, at that time, the festival — and all Israel with him, a great assembly from the entering in of Hamath unto the brook of Egypt — before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days; fourteen days.

⁶⁶Osmi dan je razpustil ljudstvo; in oni so, blagoslovivši kralja, odšli v šatore svoje veseli in dobre volje zaradi vseh dobrot, ki jih je storil GOSPOD svojemu hlapcu Davidu in svojemu ljudstvu Izraelu.

⁶⁶On the eighth day he hath sent the people away, and they bless the king, and go to their tents, rejoicing and glad of heart for all the good that Jehovah hath done to David His servant, and to Israel His people.
