Otra Laiku 1

1 Un Salamans, Dāvida dēls, palika spēcīgs savā ķēniņa valdībā, jo Tas Kungs, viņa Dievs, bija ar to un darīja to ļoti lielu.

And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and magnified him to a high degree.

2 Un Salamans sacīja uz visu Israēli, uz tūkstošniekiem un simtniekiem un tiesnešiem un visiem Israēla lielkungiem, tēvu namu virsniekiem,

And Solomon gave orders to all Israel, to the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, and to the rulers, and to the judges of all Israel, and the heads of the families:

3 Ka tie noietu, Salamans un visa draudze līdz ar viņu, uz to kalnu Gibeonā, jo tur bija Dieva saiešanas telts, ko Mozus, Tā Kunga kalps, tuksnesī bija taisījis.

And he went with all the multitude to the high place of Gabaon, where was the tabernacle of the covenant of the Lord, which Moses the servant of God made, in the wilderness.

4 Bet Dieva šķirstu Dāvids bija atvedis no Kiriat Jearimas uz to vietu, ko Dāvids tam bija sataisījis, jo viņš tam bija uzcēlis telti Jeruzālemē.

For David had brought the ark of God from Cariathiarim to the place, which he had prepared for it, and where he had pitched a tabernacle for it, that is, in Jerusalem.

5 Tur bija arī vara altāris, ko Becaleēls, Urus dēls, Ura dēla dēls, bija taisījis priekš Tā Kunga dzīvokļa, un Salamans un tā draudze to apmeklēja.

And the altar of brass, which Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur had made, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord: and Solomon and all the assembly sought it:

6 Un Salamans tur upurēja priekš Tā Kunga vaiga uz vara altāra saiešanas telts priekšā, un viņš upurēja uz tā tūkstoš dedzināmos upurus.

And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar, before the tabernacle of the covenant of the Lord, and offered up on it a thousand victims.

7 Tanī naktī Dievs parādījās Salamanam un uz to sacīja: lūdz, ko Man tev būs dot.

And behold that night God appeared to him, saying: Ask what thou wilt that I should give thee.

8 Un Salamans sacīja uz Dievu: manam tēvam Dāvidam Tu esi parādījis lielu žēlastību un mani Tu esi cēlis par ķēniņu viņa vietā.

And Solomon said to God: Thou hast shewn great kindness to my father David: and hast made me king in his stead.

9 Tad nu, Kungs Dievs, lai Tavs vārds tiešām tā notiek, kā Tu esi runājis uz manu tēvu Dāvidu, jo Tu mani esi cēlis par ķēniņu pār ļaudīm, kuru tik daudz, kā zemes pīšļu.

Now therefore, O Lord God, let thy word be fulfilled, which thou hast promised to David my father: for thou hast made me king over thy great people, which is as innumerable as the dust of the earth.

10 Tad dod man nu gudrību un saprašanu, ka es šo ļaužu priekšā izeju un ieeju, jo kas varētu tiesāt šo Tavu lielo tautu?

Give me wisdom and knowledge that I may come in and go out before thy people: for who can worthily judge this thy people, which is so great?

11 Tad Dievs sacīja uz Salamanu: tāpēc ka tas ir tavā sirdī, un tu neesi lūdzies nedz bagātību, nedz mantas, nedz godu, nedz savu ienaidnieku dvēseles, nedz ilgu mūžu, bet esi izlūdzies gudrību un saprašanu, Manus ļaudis tiesāt, pār ko Es tevi esmu iecēlis par ķēniņu,

And God said to Solomon: Because this choice hath pleased thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, and wealth, and glory, nor the lives of them that hate thee, nor many days of life: but hast asked wisdom and knowledge, to be able to judge my people, over which I have made thee king,

12 Tad tev taps dota gudrība un saprašana, un bagātību un mantas un godu arīdzan Es tev došu, kā nevienam ķēniņam nav bijis priekš tevis un pēc tevis arī nevienam nebūs.

Wisdom and knowledge are granted to thee: and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and glory, so that none of the kings before thee, nor after thee, shall be like thee.

13 Tā Salamans nonāca Jeruzālemē no tā kalna Gibeonā, no saiešanas telts, un viņš valdīja pār Israēli.

Then Solomon came from the high place of Gabaon to Jerusalem before the tabernacle of the covenant, and reigned over Israel.

14 Un Salamans sakrāja ratus un jātniekus, un viņam bija tūkstoš četrsimt rati un divpadsmit tūkstoš jātnieki, un viņš tos lika ratu pilsētās un pie ķēniņa Jeruzālemē.

And he gathered to himself chariots and horsemen, and he had a thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen: and he placed them in the cities of the chariots, and with the king in Jerusalem.

15 Un ķēniņš darīja, ka sudraba un zelta bija Jeruzālemē tik daudz, kā akmeņu, un ciedru koku tik daudz, kā meža vīģes koku ielejās.

And the king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees as sycamores, which grow in the plains in great multitude.

16 Un Salamanam veda zirgus no Ēģiptes un visādas preces, un ķēniņa tirgotāji pirka tās preces.

And there were horses brought him from Egypt, and from Coa by the king’s merchants, who went, and bought at a price,

17 Un tie gāja un atveda no Ēģiptes ratus par sešsimt sudraba gabaliem, un vienu zirgu par simt piecdesmit. Un viņi tos izveda arī visiem Hetiešu ķēniņiem un Sīriešu ķēniņiem.

A chariot of four horses for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: in like manner market was made in all the kingdoms of the Hethites, and of the kings of Syria.
