9–BOB
Egamiz yana Sulaymonga zohir boʻladi
1 Sulaymon Egamizning uyini ham, oʻzining saroyini ham qurib boʻldi. Moʻljallangan hamma yumushlarni tamom qildi. 2 Shundan keyin Egamiz Sulaymonga, ilgari Givonda zohir boʻlganiday , yana zohir boʻldi. 3 Egamiz unga shu soʻzlarini ayon qildi:
“Menga qilgan iltijolaringni eshitdim. Sen qurgan va Oʻzim ulugʻlanadigan uyni muqaddas qildim. Koʻzlarim, koʻnglim doimo oʻsha yerda boʻladi.
4 Sen ham Mening oldimda, otang Dovud kabi, sofdil va toʻgʻri boʻlib yursang, Men amr etgan hamma farmonlarimni ijro etsang, qonun–qoidalarimni mahkam tutsang, 5 Isroil ustidan shohlik taxtingni abadiy mustahkam qilaman. Otang Dovudga ham: «Sening naslingdan boʻlgan erkak zoti to abad Isroil taxtida oʻtiradi», deb vaʼda bergan edim .
6 Bordi–yu, sen ham, sening nasling ham Men koʻrsatgan yoʻldan qaytsangiz, sizlarga bergan amr va farmonlarimga rioya qilmasangiz, borib boshqa xudolarga xizmat qilsangiz, ularga topinsangiz, 7 Isroil xalqini Oʻzim bergan yurtdan uloqtirib tashlayman. Men muqaddas qilgan, Oʻzim ulugʻlanadigan uyni tark etaman. Ana oʻshanda Isroil xalqi hammaning ogʻzida duv–duv gap boʻladi, hamma xalqlar ularni masxara qiladi. 8 Hozir ajoyib boʻlib turgan uyning yonidan oʻtganlar buning ayanchli ahvolini koʻrganda, dahshatga tushib: «Nimaga ularning Egasi bu yurtni va bu uyni mana shu ahvolga soldi ekan–a?» deb qotib qoladi. 9 Soʻng yana oʻzlari shunday xulosa chiqaradilar: «Eha, ular ota–bobolarini Misr yurtidan olib chiqqan oʻzlarining Egasi Xudodan yuz oʻgirdilar–ku! Boshqa xudolarga ergashib, oʻsha xudolarga topinib, xizmat qildilar–ku! Qilmishlariga yarasha oʻzlarining Egasi ularning boshiga shu koʻrgiliklarni solibdi–da.»”
Sulaymonning shoh Xiram bilan tuzgan bitimi
10 Sulaymon ikkala uyni — Egamizning uyini va oʻz saroyini yigirma yilda bitirgan edi. 11 Tir shohi Xiram Sulaymonning ehtiyojiga koʻra, sadr yogʻochi, sarv yogʻochi, oltin yetkazib bergan edi. Shoh Sulaymon Xiramga bu xizmatlari uchun Jalila hududidagi yigirmata shaharni berdi. 12 Xiram: “Sulaymon bergan shaharlarni koʻray–chi”, deb Tirdan yoʻlga chiqdi, lekin u shaharlar Xiramga maʼqul kelmadi.
13 — Doʻstim, menga bergan shaharlaring bori–yoʻgʻi shumi?! — dedi Xiram Sulaymonga. Xiram oʻsha yerlarga Kavul deb nom berdi va bugunga qadar shu nom bilan yuritiladi. 14 Xiram esa shoh Sulaymonga 250 pud oltin yuborgan edi.
Sulaymonning yutuqlari
15 Shoh Sulaymon majburlab olgan qarollarni chaqirtirib, Egamizning uyini, oʻzining saroyini barpo ettirgan edi. Shuningdek, Quddusning sharq tomonidagi Milloni mustahkam qildirgan va shahar devorini qurdirgan edi. Xazor, Magidoʻ va Gezer shaharlarini mustahkamlagan edi. 16 Misr firʼavni Gezerga bostirib kelib, shaharni qoʻlga olgan va oʻt qoʻygandi. Shu yerda istiqomat qilayotgan Kanʼon aholisini qirib tashlab, shaharni oʻzining qizi — Sulaymonning xotiniga sep qilib bergandi. 17 Shundan soʻng Sulaymon Gezer shahrini, Pastki Bayt–Xoʻronni, 18 Baalatni, Yahudoning choʻlidagi Tamarni , 19 oʻzining hamma ombor shaharlarini, jang aravalari saqlanadigan shaharlarni, otliqlari turadigan shaharlarini qaytadan tuzatib mustahkamladi. Bundan tashqari, Quddusda, Lubnonda, shohlikning hamma burchaklarida nima istasa, barpo qildi.
20 Shu oʻlkada qolib ketgan Amor, Pariz, Xiv, Xet va Yobus xalqlari Isroil xalqidan emasdi. 21 Isroil xalqi ularning bu yurtda qolib ketgan avlodlarini tamomila qirib bitirolmagan edi. Sulaymon oʻsha qolib ketganlarini qarol qilib oldi. Ular bugungacha bor. 22 Lekin Sulaymon Isroil xalqidan birortasini qul qilmadi. Aksincha, ularni shohning sipohlari, aʼyonlari, akobirlari , lashkarboshilari, jang aravalarining qoʻmondonlari va suvorilarining qoʻmondonlari lavozimiga tayinladi.
23 Sulaymonning ishboshilari 550 kishi boʻlib, ular ishlayotgan odamlar ustidan nazoratchi edilar.
24 Firʼavnning qizi Dovud qalʼasidan oʻziga atalgan saroyga koʻchib oʻtdi. Bu saroyni Sulaymon unga atab barpo qilgan edi. Shundan keyin Sulaymon Quddusning sharq tomonidagi Milloni mustahkam qildirgandi.
25 Xullas, Sulaymon Egamizning uyini bitkazdi. U Egamizga atab qurgan qurbongohda yiliga uch marta kuydiriladigan qurbonliklar va tinchlik qurbonliklari qilar, tutatqi tutatardi.
26 Shoh Sulaymon Edom yurtida, Qizil dengiz boʻyidagi Elet shahri yonida joylashgan Ezyoʻn–Geber shahrida kemalar yasadi. 27 Xiram oʻz tajribali dengizchilarini Sulaymonning odamlari bilan birga kemalarda joʻnatdi. 28 Ular Ofir yurtiga borib, u yerdan 900 pud oltin olib, shoh Sulaymonga keltirib berdilar.
1 And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the LORD, and the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he was pleased to do, 2 That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon. 3 And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. 4 And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments: 5 Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel. 6 But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them: 7 Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people: 8 And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and to this house? 9 And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil.
10 ¶ And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD, and the king’s house, 11 (Now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire,) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee. 12 And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not. 13 And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto this day. 14 And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.
15 ¶ And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised; for to build the house of the LORD, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer. 16 For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for a present unto his daughter, Solomon’s wife. 17 And Solomon built Gezer, and Beth-horon the nether, 18 And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land, 19 And all the cities of store that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion. 20 And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel, 21 Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Solomon levy a tribute of bondservice unto this day. 22 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen: but they were men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots, and his horsemen. 23 These were the chief of the officers that were over Solomon’s work, five hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the people that wrought in the work.
24 ¶ But Pharaoh’s daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Millo.
25 ¶ And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built unto the LORD, and he burnt incense upon the altar that was before the LORD. So he finished the house.
26 ¶ And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion-geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom. 27 And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon. 28 And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
