¹Then David said, “This is the house of Yahweh God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”

¹A Dávid riekol: Toto je ten pravý dom Hospodina Boha a toto oltár na zápal pre Izraela.

²David gave orders to gather together the foreigners who were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to cut worked stones to build God’s house.

²Potom kázal Dávid, aby shromaždili cudzozemcov, ktorí boli v zemi Izraelovej. A postavil z nich, ktorí boli súci, za kameniarov, aby natesali tesaných kameňov staväť dom Boží.

³David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the couplings; and brass in abundance without weight;

³I množstvo železa na klince, na dvere brán a na spojky pripravil Dávid i medi také množstvo, že mu nebolo váhy,

⁴and cedar trees without number: for the Sidonians and they of Tyre brought cedar trees in abundance to David.

⁴i cedrového dreva bez počtu, lebo Sidonci a Týrania dopravovali Dávidovi cedrové drevo vo množstve.

⁵David said, “Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for Yahweh must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries. I will therefore make preparation for it.” So David prepared abundantly before his death.

⁵A Dávid riekol: Šalamún, môj syn, je ešte chlapec a útly, a dom, ktorý sa má staväť Hospodinovi, má byť veľký, nádherný a chýrny a na ozdobu všetkým zemiam, preto teda nech mu pripravím, čo treba. A tak pripravil Dávid množstvo staviva pred svojou smrťou.

⁶Then he called for Solomon his son, and commanded him to build a house for Yahweh, the God of Israel.

⁶Potom povolal Šalamúna, svojho syna, a prikázal mu, aby vystavil dom Hospodinovi, Bohu Izraelovmu.

⁷David said to Solomon his son, “As for me, it was in my heart to build a house to the name of Yahweh my God.

⁷A Dávid riekol Šalamúnovi: Môj synu, ja som si bol umienil vystaviť dom menu Hospodina, svojho Boha.

⁸But the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, ‘You have shed blood abundantly, and have made great wars. You shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight.

⁸Ale stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo o mne povediac: Vylial si množstvo krvi a viedol si veľké boje; nebudeš staväť môjmu menu dom, lebo si vylial mnoho krvi na zem predo mnou.

⁹Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest. I will give him rest from all his enemies all around; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.

⁹Hľa, syn sa ti narodí, ten bude mužom odpočinutia, a dám mu odpočinutie od všetkých jeho nepriateľov naokolo; lebo jeho meno bude Šalamún, a dám pokoj a ticho za jeho dní na Izraela.

¹⁰He shall build a house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.’

¹⁰Ten vystaví môjmu menu dom a on mi bude za syna, a ja budem jemu za otca a postavím pevne trón jeho kráľovstva nad Izraelom, a bude stáť až na veky.

¹¹Now, my son, may Yahweh be with you and prosper you, and build the house of Yahweh your God, as he has spoken concerning you.

¹¹Teraz tedy, môj synu, nech je Hospodin s tebou! A tak sa ti šťastne povedie, a vystavíš dom Hospodina, svojho Boha, tak ako hovoril o tebe.

¹²May Yahweh give you discretion and understanding, and put you in charge of Israel; that so you may keep the law of Yahweh your God.

¹²Len nech ti dá Hospodin rozum a schopnosť rozumieť a nech ti prikáže o Izraelovi a ustaví tvoje srdce tak, aby si ostríhal zákon Hospodina, svojho Boha.

¹³Then you will prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and the ordinances which Yahweh gave Moses concerning Israel. Be strong, and courageous. Don’t be afraid, neither be dismayed.

¹³Vtedy sa ti šťastne povedie, ak budeš pozorovať, aby si činil ustanovenia a súdy, ktoré prikázal Hospodin Mojžišovi vzhľadom na Izraela. Buď silný a zmužilý; neboj sa ani sa nestrachuj!

¹⁴Now, behold, in my affliction I have prepared for the house of Yahweh one hundred thousand talents of gold, one million talents of silver, and brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance. I have also prepared timber and stone; and you may add to them.

¹⁴A hľa, ja vo svojej nevoli pripravil som pre dom Hospodinov sto tisíc hrivien zlata a tisíc tisícov hrivien striebra, a medi a železu nieto váhy, lebo je toho množstvo. I dreva i kamenia som pripravil, a ty k tomu pridáš, čo bude treba.

¹⁵There are also workmen with you in abundance, cutters and workers of stone and timber, and all kinds of men who are skillful in every kind of work:

¹⁵Krome toho máš u seba množstvo remeselníkov, kameniarov, murárov a tesárov i všelijakých múdrych ľudí, zbehlých v každej práci.

¹⁶of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and may Yahweh be with you.”

¹⁶Zlatu, striebru, medi a železu neni počtu. Vstaň a rob, a Hospodin nech je s tebou!

¹⁷David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,

¹⁷A Dávid prikázal i všetkým kniežatám Izraelovým, aby pomáhali Šalamúnovi, jeho synovi,

¹⁸“Isn’t Yahweh your God with you? Hasn’t he given you rest on every side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before Yahweh, and before his people.

¹⁸povediac: Či nie je Hospodin, váš Bôh, s vami? A dal vám odpočinutia zo všetkých strán, lebo dal obyvateľov zeme do mojej ruky, a zem je podmanená pred Hospodinom a pred jeho ľudom.

¹⁹Now set your heart and your soul to seek after Yahweh your God. Arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of Yahweh God, to bring the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of Yahweh.”

¹⁹Teraz tedy pridajte svoje srdce a svoju dušu k tomu, aby ste hľadali Hospodina, svojho Boha, a vstanúc staväjte svätyňu Hospodina Boha, aby ste vniesli truhlu smluvy Hospodinovej i sväté nádoby Božie do domu, vystaveného menu Hospodinovmu.
