¹Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. his God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.

¹A Šalamún, syn Dávidov, sa posilnil nad svojím kráľovstvom, a Hospodin, jeho Bôh, bol s ním a zveličil ho vysoko.

²Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers’ households.

²A vtedy riekol Šalamún celému Izraelovi, veliteľom tisícov a stov a sudcom a všetkým kniežatám celého Izraela, hlavám otcov, aby išli do Gibeona.

³So Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the Tent of Meeting of God, which Moses the servant of Yahweh had made in the wilderness.

³A tak išli, Šalamún i celé shromaždenie s ním, na výšinu, ktorá bola v Gibeone; lebo tam bol stán shromaždenia Božieho, ktorý bol učinil Mojžiš, služobník Hospodinov, na púšti.

⁴But David had brought the ark of God up from Kiriath Jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.

⁴Ale truhlu Božiu bol dopravil Dávid z Kirjat-jearima hore na miesto, ktoré jej bol pripravil, on Dávid, lebo jej bol roztiahol stán v Jeruzaleme.

⁵Moreover the bronze altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of Yahweh: and Solomon and the assembly were seeking counsel there.

⁵Avšak medený oltár, ktorý bol urobil Becaleel, syn Úriho, syna Húrovho, bol tam pred príbytkom Hospodinovým. A Šalamún ho vyhľadával i shromaždenie.

⁶Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before Yahweh, which was at the Tent of Meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it.

⁶A Šalamún tam obetoval pred Hospodinom na medenom oltári, ktorý patril stánu shromaždenia, a obetoval na ňom tisíc zápalných obetí.

⁷In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, “Ask what I shall give you.”

⁷Tej noci sa ukázal Bôh Šalamúnovi a riekol mu: Žiadaj si, čo ti mám dať!

⁸Solomon said to God, “You have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his place.

⁸Na to povedal Šalamún Bohu: Ty si učinil Dávidovi, môjmu otcovi, veľkú milosť a tiež i mňa si učinil kráľom namiesto neho.

⁹Now, Yahweh God, let your promise to David my father be established; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.

⁹Teraz tedy, Hospodine, Bože, nech stojí verne tvoje slovo u Dávida, môjho otca, lebo ty si ma učinil kráľom nad ľudom, ktorého je tak mnoho, jako je prachu na zemi.

¹⁰Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this your people, that is so great?”

¹⁰Preto teraz mi daj múdrosť a vedomosť, aby som vedel vychádzať pred týmto ľudom a vchádzať, lebo ktože by mohol súdiť tento tvoj ľud, tak veliký?!

¹¹God said to Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of those who hate you, neither yet have asked long life; but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge my people, over whom I have made you king:

¹¹Vtedy riekol Bôh Šalamúnovi: Preto, že to bolo v tvojom srdci, a že si nežiadal bohatstva pokladov ani slávy ani duše tých, ktorí ťa nenávidia, ani si nežiadal dlhého veku, ale že si si žiadal múdrosť a vedomosť, aby si mohol súdiť môj ľud, nad ktorým som ťa učinil kráľom,

¹²wisdom and knowledge is granted to you. I will give you riches, wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before you; neither shall there any after you have the like.”

¹²nuž daná ti je múdrosť a vedomosť, k čomu ti dám ešte i bohatstvo i poklady i slávu, jako toho nemali kráľovia, ktorí boli pred tebou, ani nebude mať niktorý tak mnoho po tebe.

¹³So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting, to Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel.

¹³Potom prišiel Šalamún zo svojej cesty na výšinu, ktorá bola v Gibeone, zpred stánu shromaždenia do Jeruzalema a kraľoval nad Izraelom.

¹⁴Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

¹⁴A Šalamún nashromaždil vozov a jazdcov, takže mal tisíc štyristo vozov a dvanásť tisíc jazdcov, a umiestil ich v mestách vozov a u kráľa v Jeruzaleme.

¹⁵The king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.

¹⁵A kráľ nahromadil striebra a zlata v Jeruzaleme jako kamenia a cedrového dreva nahromadil ako sykomôr, ktorých rastie na rovine množstvo.

¹⁶The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and from Kue; the king’s merchants purchased them from Kue.

¹⁶Kone dovádzali Šalamúnovi z Egypta, a hromada kupcov kráľových brala odtiaľ hromadu koní za peniaze.

¹⁷They brought up and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Syria, they brought them out by their means.

¹⁷A tak privážali hore a vyvážali z Egypta voz za šesťsto šeklov striebra a koňa za stopäťdesiat a tak vodili odtiaľ svojou rukou, jako sprostredkovatelia, pre všetkých kráľov Hetejov a pre kráľov Sýrie.
