¹Now Solomon purposed to build a house for the name of Yahweh, and a house for his kingdom.

¹In Salomon se je namenil zgraditi hišo imenu GOSPODOVEMU in hišo za svoje kraljevanje.

²Solomon counted out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand men who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.

²In Salomon je odštel sedemdeset tisoč mož, da nosijo bremena, in osemdeset tisoč mož, da sekajo les v gorah, in tri tisoč in šeststo, da jih nadzorujejo.

³Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, “As you dealt with David my father, and sent him cedars to build him a house in which to dwell, so deal with me.

³In poslal je k Huramu, kralju tirskemu, in sporočil: Kakor si storil z očetom mojim Davidom, ko si mu poslal cedrovine, da si zgradi hišo za prebivanje, enako stóri z menoj.

⁴Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of Yahweh my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him incense of sweet spices, and for the continual show bread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts of Yahweh our God. This is an ordinance forever to Israel.

⁴Glej, hišo hočem zidati imenu GOSPODA, Boga svojega, da mu jo posvetim, da bi se pred njim žgalo sladko dišečekadilo in se vsekdar vrstili kruhi in darovale žgalščine zjutraj in zvečer, ob sobotah in ob mlajih in ob določenih praznikih GOSPODA, našega Boga; večna je to postava Izraelu.

⁵“The house which I build is great; for our God is great above all gods.

⁵Hiša pa, ki jo hočem graditi, bode velika, zakaj velik je Bog naš mimo vseh bogov.

⁶But who is able to build him a house, since heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain him? who am I then, that I should build him a house, except just to burn incense before him?

⁶A kdo je zmožen graditi mu hišo? Saj nebo in nebesa nebes ga ne morejo obseči; kdo sem torej jaz, da bi mu zgradil hišo, samo le da se zažiga kadilo pred njim?

⁷“Now therefore send me a man skillful to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and who knows how to engrave engravings, to be with the skillful men who are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.

⁷Sedaj mi torej pošlji modrega moža, ki zna delati iz zlata, srebra, brona, železa in iz zagorelordečega, karmezinovega in višnjevega blaga in ki umeje izrezljavati rezbe, da dela z veščaki, ki so pri meni v Judeji in v Jeruzalemu, katere je priskrbel oče moj.

⁸“Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon; for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon: and behold, my servants shall be with your servants,

⁸Pošlji mi tudi cedrovega, cipresovega in sandalovega lesa z Libanona; kajti vem, da znajo hlapci tvoji sekati libanonski les; in glej, hlapci moji bodo s hlapci tvojimi,

⁹even to prepare me timber in abundance; for the house which I am about to build shall be great and wonderful.

⁹da mi pripravijo veliko lesa, zakaj hiša, ki jo hočem graditi, bo nenavadno velika.

¹⁰Behold, I will give to your servants, the cutters who cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.”

¹⁰In glej, jaz dam hlapcem tvojim, delavcem, ki bodo tesali les, v živež dvajset tisoč meric pšenice in dvajset tisoč meric ječmena in dvajset tisoč batov vina in dvajset tisoč batov olja.

¹¹Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, “Because Yahweh loves his people, he has made you king over them.”

¹¹Nato odgovori Huram, kralj tirski, v pismu, katero pošlje Salomonu: Ker GOSPOD ljubi ljudstvo svoje, zato te je postavil za kralja nad njimi.

¹²Huram continued, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, endowed with discretion and understanding, that should build a house for Yahweh, and a house for his kingdom.

¹²Še reče Huram: Hvaljen bodi GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov, ki je naredil nebesa in zemljo, da je dal kralju Davidu modrega sina, obdarovanega s previdnostjo in razumnostjo, ki bo gradil hišo GOSPODU in hišo za svoje kraljevanje.

¹³Now I have sent a skillful man, endowed with understanding, of Huram my father’s,

¹³In sedaj pošiljam modrega moža, obdarovanega z razumnostjo, Hurama, svojega očeta,

¹⁴the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan; and his father was a man of Tyre, skillful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, also to engrave any kind of engraving, and to devise any device; that there may be a place appointed to him with your skillful men, and with the skillful men of my lord David your father.

¹⁴ki je sin žene izmed Danovih hčera, oče njegov pa je bil Tirec. Ta zna delati iz zlata, srebra, brona, železa, kamena, lesa, iz zagorelordečega in višnjevega blaga, iz tenčice in karmezina, tudi izrezljavati vsakovrstno rezbo ter izmišljati kakršnokoli umetnino, ki se mu naloži, da dela s tvojimi umetniki in z umetniki gospoda mojega Davida, očeta tvojega.

¹⁵“Now therefore the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, which my lord has spoken of, let him send to his servants:

¹⁵Poslej naj pošilja torej gospod moj hlapcem svojim pšenice in ječmena, olja in vina, kakor je obljubil.

¹⁶and we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as you shall need; and we will bring it to you in floats by sea to Joppa; and you shall carry it up to Jerusalem.”

¹⁶Mi pa bomo sekali les z Libanona, kolikor ti ga bo treba, in ti ga spravimo na plaveh po morju v Japo, ti pa poskrbiš, da ga peljejo gori v Jeruzalem.

¹⁷Solomon numbered all the foreigners who were in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father had numbered them; and they were found one hundred fifty-three thousand six hundred.

¹⁷In Salomon je preštel vse tujce v deželi Izraelovi, po štetju, po katerem jih je preštel David, oče njegov, in našteli so jih sto in triinpetdeset tisoč in šeststo.In postavil jih je sedemdeset tisoč, da nosijo bremena, in osemdeset tisoč, da sekajo les v gorah, in tri tisoč in šeststo za nadzornike, da priganjajo ljudstvo k delu.

¹⁸He set seventy thousand of them to bear burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred overseers to set the people at work.

¹⁸In postavil jih je sedemdeset tisoč, da nosijo bremena, in osemdeset tisoč, da sekajo les v gorah, in tri tisoč in šeststo za nadzornike, da priganjajo ljudstvo k delu.
