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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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?”

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

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:

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:

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.”

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
