¹Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh out of the city of David, which is Zion.

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.

²All the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

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

³All the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

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

⁴They brought up the ark of Yahweh, and the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; even these the priests and the Levites brought up.

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

⁵King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.

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.

⁶The priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.

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

⁷For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.

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

⁸The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the oracle; but they were not seen outside: and there they are to this day.

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.

⁹There was nothing in the ark except the two tables of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

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.

¹⁰It came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Yahweh,

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

¹¹so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the glory of Yahweh filled the house of Yahweh.

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

¹²Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

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

¹³I have surely built you a house of habitation, a place for you to dwell in forever.”

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

¹⁴The king turned his face about, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood.

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

¹⁵He said, “Blessed is Yahweh, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David your father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

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

¹⁶‘Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be there; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.’

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.

¹⁷“Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

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

¹⁸But Yahweh said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart.

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.

¹⁹Nevertheless, you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come forth out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’

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

²⁰Yahweh has established his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised, and have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

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;

²¹There I have set a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of Yahweh, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.”

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.

²²Solomon stood before the altar of Yahweh in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven;

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

²³and he said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keep covenant and loving kindness with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart;

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;

²⁴who have kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.

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.

²⁵Now therefore, may Yahweh, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk before me as you have walked before me.’

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.

²⁶“Now therefore, God of Israel, please let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David my father.

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

²⁷But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house that I have built!

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!

²⁸Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant, and for his supplication, Yahweh my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you this day;

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:

²⁹that your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which you have said, ‘My name shall be there;’ to listen to the prayer which your servant shall pray toward this place.

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.

³⁰Listen to the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place. Yes, hear in heaven, your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive.

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!

³¹“If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swear before your altar in this house;

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:

³²then hear in heaven, and do, and judge your servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way on his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

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.

³³“When your people Israel are struck down before the enemy, because they have sinned against you; if they turn again to you, and confess your name, and pray and make supplication to you in this house:

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:

³⁴then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to their fathers.

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

³⁵“When the sky is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; if they pray toward this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you afflict them:

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:

³⁶then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.

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.

³⁷“If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight, mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities; whatever plague, whatever sickness there is;

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:

³⁸whatever prayer and supplication is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who shall each know the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:

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

³⁹then hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know; (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of men;)

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),

⁴⁰that they may fear you all the days that they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.

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

⁴¹“Moreover concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for your name’s sake

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

⁴²(for they shall hear of your great name, and of your mighty hand, and of your outstretched arm); when he shall come and pray toward this house;

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:

⁴³hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, to fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.

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.

⁴⁴“If your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to Yahweh toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name;

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:

⁴⁵then hear in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

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

⁴⁶If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, far off or near;

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;

⁴⁷yet if they shall repent in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of those who carried them captive, saying, ‘We have sinned, and have done perversely; we have dealt wickedly;’

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!

⁴⁸if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies, who carried them captive, and pray to you toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, the city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name:

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:

⁴⁹then hear their prayer and their supplication in heaven, your dwelling place, and maintain their cause;

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

⁵⁰and forgive your people who have sinned against you, and all their transgressions in which they have transgressed against you; and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them

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:

⁵¹(for they are your people, and your inheritance, which you brought out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron);

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

⁵²that your eyes may be open to the supplication of your servant, and to the supplication of your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they cry to you.

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

⁵³For you separated them from among all the peoples of the earth, to be your inheritance, as you spoke by Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, Lord Yahweh.”

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!

⁵⁴It was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to Yahweh, he arose from before the altar of Yahweh, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth toward heaven.

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.

⁵⁵He stood, and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

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

⁵⁶“Blessed be Yahweh, who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised. There has not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his servant.

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.

⁵⁷May Yahweh our God be with us, as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us, nor forsake us;

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

⁵⁸that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.

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.

⁵⁹Let these my words, with which I have made supplication before Yahweh, be near to Yahweh our God day and night, that he may maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel, as every day shall require;

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:

⁶⁰that all the peoples of the earth may know that Yahweh, he is God. There is none else.

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

⁶¹“Let your heart therefore be perfect with Yahweh our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.”

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

⁶²The king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before Yahweh.

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

⁶³Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to Yahweh, two and twenty thousand head of cattle, and one hundred twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of Yahweh.

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.

⁶⁴The same day the king made the middle of the court holy that was before the house of Yahweh; for there he offered the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that was before Yahweh was too little to receive the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.

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.

⁶⁵So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before Yahweh our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.

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.

⁶⁶On the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that Yahweh had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people.

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.
