¹In Salomon, Davidov sin, se je okrepil v svojem kraljestvu, in GOSPOD, Bog njegov, je bil ž njim ter ga je jako poveličal.

¹And strengthen himself doth Solomon son of David over his kingdom, and Jehovah his God [is] with him, and maketh him exceedingly great.

²In Salomon je govoril vsemu Izraelu, poveljnikom čez tisoč in čez sto, sodnikom in vsem knezom po vsem Izraelu, poglavarjem očetovin;

²And Solomon saith to all Israel, to heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, and to judges, and to every honourable one of all Israel, heads of the fathers,

³in šli so, Salomon in ves zbor ž njim, na višavo, ki je bila v Gibeonu; zakaj ondi je bil Božji shodni šator, ki ga je bil naredil Mojzes, služabnik GOSPODOV, v puščavi.

³and they go -- Solomon, and all the assembly with him -- to the high place that [is] in Gibeon, for there hath been God's tent of meeting, that Moses, servant of Jehovah, made in the wilderness,

⁴Toda skrinjo GOSPODOVO je bil David prenesel iz Kirjat-jearima gori na mesto, ki ga ji je pripravil David; postavil ji je namreč šator v Jeruzalemu.

⁴but the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-Jearim, when David prepared for it, for he stretched out for it a tent in Jerusalem;

⁵A bronasti oltar, ki ga je napravil Bezalel, sin Urija, sina Hurovega, je bil ondi pred šatorom GOSPODOVIM, in Salomon in zbor ga je obiskoval.

⁵and the altar of brass that Bezaleel son of Uri, son of Hur made, he put before the tabernacle of Jehovah; and Solomon and the assembly seek to it.

⁶In Salomon je daroval ondi pred GOSPODOM na bronastem oltarju, ki je bil pri shodnem šatoru; in daroval je na njem tisoč žgalnih daritev.

⁶And Solomon goeth up thither, on the altar of brass, before Jehovah, that [is] at the tent of meeting, and causeth to ascend upon it a thousand burnt-offerings.

⁷Tisto noč se prikaže Bog Salomonu in mu reče: Prosi, kaj naj ti dam.

⁷In that night hath God appeared to Solomon, and saith to him, `Ask -- what do I give to thee?'

⁸In Salomon reče Bogu: Ti si izkazal veliko milost Davidu, očetu mojemu, in si me storil za kralja na mestu njegovem.

⁸And Solomon saith to God, `Thou hast done with David my father great kindness, and hast caused me to reign in his stead.

⁹In sedaj, o GOSPOD Bog, daj, da se uresniči obljuba tvoja Davidu, očetu mojemu; kajti postavil si me za kralja ljudstvu tolikemu, kolikor je prahu na zemlji.

⁹Now, O Jehovah God, is Thy word with David my father stedfast, for Thou hast caused me to reign over a people numerous as the dust of the earth;

¹⁰Daj mi torej modrosti in znanja, da morem hoditi ven in noter pred tem ljudstvom; zakaj kdo more soditi temu velikemu ljudstvu tvojemu?

¹⁰now, wisdom and knowledge give to me, and I go out before this people, and I come in, for who doth judge this Thy great people?'

¹¹In Bog reče Salomonu: Ker je to bilo v srcu tvojem in nisi prosil zakladov, bogastva in časti, ne smrti sovražnikov svojih, tudi nisi prosil dolgega življenja, temuč si prosil zase modrosti in spoznanja, da bi mogel soditi ljudstvu mojemu, nad katero sem te postavil za kralja:

¹¹And God saith to Solomon, `Because that this hath been with thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, and honour, and the life of those hating thee, and also many days hast not asked, and dost ask for thyself wisdom and knowledge, so that thou dost judge My people over which I have caused thee to reign --

¹²modrost in spoznanje je dano tebi, in še ti dam zakladov, bogastva in časti, kolikor niso imeli kralji pred teboj, pa tudi za teboj ne bodo imeli.

¹²the wisdom and the knowledge is given to thee, and riches and wealth and honour I give to thee, that there hath not been so to the kings who [are] before thee, and after thee it is not so.'

¹³In prišel je Salomon z višave, ki je bila v Gibeonu, izpred shodnega šatora, v Jeruzalem; in kraljeval je Izraelu.

¹³And Solomon cometh in [from] the high place that [is] in Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tent of meeting, and reigneth over Israel,

¹⁴In Salomon je nabral voz in konjikov, in imel je tisoč in štiristo voz in dvanajst tisoč konjikov, ki jih je razstavil po voznih mestih in pri kralju v Jeruzalemu.

¹⁴and Solomon gathereth chariots and horsemen, and he hath a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he placeth them in the cities of the chariots, and with the king in Jerusalem.

¹⁵In kralj je storil, da je bilo v Jeruzalemu srebra in zlata kakor kamenja, in ceder je pripravil toliko, da jih je bilo obilo kakor smokovega drevja, ki raste v ravnini.

¹⁵And the king maketh the silver and the gold in Jerusalem as stones, and the cedars he made as sycamores that [are] in the low country, for abundance.

¹⁶In konje so vodili Salomonu iz Egipta; družba kraljevih kupcev jih je privedla trumo za kupno ceno.In so hodili gori iz Egipta in pripeljavali odondod vozove po šeststo seklov srebra in konje po sto in petdeset. Tako so jih dobivali vsi kralji Hetejcev in sirski kralji po njih roki.

¹⁶And the source of the horses that [are] to Solomon [is] from Egypt and from Keva; merchants of the king from Keva take at a price,

¹⁷In so hodili gori iz Egipta in pripeljavali odondod vozove po šeststo seklov srebra in konje po sto in petdeset. Tako so jih dobivali vsi kralji Hetejcev in sirski kralji po njih roki.

¹⁷and they come up, and bring out from Egypt a chariot for six hundred silverlings, and a horse for fifty and a hundred, and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Aram -- by their hand they bring out.
