¹David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies who served the king by division, and the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, and the rulers over all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officers, and the mighty men, even all the mighty men of valor, to Jerusalem.

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.

²Then David the king stood up on his feet, and said, “Hear me, my brothers, and my people! As for me, it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and for the footstool of our God; and I had prepared for the building.

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.

³But God said to me, ‘You shall not build a house for my name, because you are a man of war, and have shed blood.’

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

⁴However Yahweh, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever. For he has chosen Judah to be prince; and in the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel.

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;

⁵Of all my sons (for Yahweh has given me many sons), he has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of Yahweh’s kingdom over 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.

⁶He said to me, ‘Solomon, your son, shall build my house and my courts; for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.

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.

⁷I will establish his kingdom forever, if he continues to do my commandments and my ordinances, as at this day.’

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

⁸Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of Yahweh, and in the audience of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of Yahweh your God; that you may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever.

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.

⁹You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Yahweh searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.

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!

¹⁰Take heed now; for Yahweh has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary. Be strong, and do it.”

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

¹¹Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch of the temple, and of its houses, and of its treasuries, and of the upper rooms of it, and of the inner rooms of it, and of the place of the mercy seat;

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,

¹²and the pattern of all that he had by the Spirit, for the courts of the house of Yahweh, and for all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of God’s house, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things;

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;

¹³also for the divisions of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of Yahweh, and for all the vessels of service in the house of Yahweh;

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

¹⁴of gold by weight for the gold, for all vessels of every kind of service; for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all vessels of every kind of service;

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

¹⁵by weight also for the lampstands of gold, and for its lamps, of gold, by weight for every lampstand and for its lamps; and for the lampstands of silver, by weight for every lampstand and for its lamps, according to the use of every lampstand;

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;

¹⁶and the gold by weight for the tables of show bread, for every table; and silver for the tables of silver;

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

¹⁷and the forks, and the basins, and the cups, of pure gold; and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls by weight for every bowl;

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,

¹⁸and for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot, the cherubim, that spread out, and covered the ark of the covenant of Yahweh.

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

¹⁹“All this,” said David, “I have been made to understand in writing from the hand of Yahweh, even all the works of this pattern.”

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

²⁰David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do it. Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed; for Yahweh God, even my God, is with you. He will not fail you, nor forsake you, until all the work for the service of the house of Yahweh is finished.

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.

²¹Behold, there are the divisions of the priests and the Levites, for all the service of God’s house. There shall be with you in all kinds of work every willing man who has skill, for any kind of service. Also the captains and all the people will be entirely at your command.”

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.
