Shoh Sulaymonning erishgan yutuqlari
1 Sulaymon Egamizning uyini va oʻz saroyini yigirma yilda bitirgan edi. 2 Soʻngra u shoh Xiram bergan shaharlarni qaytadan qurib, Isroil xalqini oʻsha shaharlarga joylashtirdi.
3 Sulaymon Xomat–Zoʻvoga yurish qilib, u joyni qoʻlga kiritdi. 4 U sahrodagi Tadmoʻr shahrini va Xomatdagi ombor shaharlarni tuzatib mustahkamladi. 5 U yana Tepadagi Bayt–Xoʻronni va Pastki Bayt–Xoʻronni qaytadan qurdi, bu shaharlarni devor bilan oʻradi, tambalanadigan darvozalar oʻrnatdi. 6 Baalat shahrini, oʻzining hamma ombor shaharlarini, hamma jang aravalari saqlanadigan shaharlarni, otliqlari turadigan shaharlarini qaytadan tuzatib mustahkamladi. Bundan tashqari, Quddusda, Lubnonda, shohlikning hamma burchaklarida nima istasa, barpo qildi. 7 Kanʼonda qolib ketgan Amor, Pariz, Xiv, Xet va Yobus xalqlari Isroil xalqidan emasdi. 8 Isroil xalqi ularning bu yurtda qolib ketgan avlodlarini qirib bitirmagan edi. Sulaymon oʻsha qolib ketganlarini qarol qilib oldi. Ular bugungacha bor. 9 Lekin Sulaymon Isroil xalqidan birortasini qarollik uchun qul qilmadi. Aksincha, ularni shohning sipohlari, aʼyonlari, jang aravalarining qoʻmondonlari va suvorilarining qoʻmondonlari lavozimiga tayinladi. 10 Sulaymonning ishboshilari 250 kishi boʻlib, ular odamlar ustidan nazoratchi edilar.
11 Sulaymon firʼavnning qizini Dovud qalʼasidan unga atab barpo qilgan yangi saroyga koʻchirtirdi. U shunday degan edi: “Mening xotinim Dovud qalʼasida ortiq yashay olmaydi, chunki Egamizning Sandigʻi saqlangan har qanday joy muqaddasdir.”
12 Sulaymon Maʼbad ayvonining qarshisida qurgan qurbongoh ustida Egamizga qurbonliklar kuydira boshladi. 13 Bu qurbonliklarni u Musoning talablariga rioya qilgan holda, Shabbat kunlarida, yangi oy shodiyonalarida va yilda bir martadan nishonlanadigan Xamirturushsiz non bayramida, Hosil bayramida va Chayla bayramida keltirar edi. 14 Sulaymon, otasi Dovud joriy qilgan qoidaga koʻra, ruhoniylar va levilarning xizmatlarini taqsimlab berdi. Levilar Egamizni madh qilishda va kundalik ishlarda ruhoniylarga yordam berardilar. Sulaymon Maʼbad darvozabonlarini ham guruhlarga boʻlib, har bir darvozada ularning har kuni qiladigan ishlarini taqsimlab berdi. U bularning hammasini Xudoning odami Dovudning farmoniga muvofiq qildi. 15 Shoh Dovudning ruhoniylarga, levilarga, xazinalarga va boshqa narsalarga oid birorta koʻrsatmasi eʼtibordan chetda qolmadi.
16 Shunday qilib, Sulaymon hamma ishni oʻz nihoyasiga yetkazdi. Egamiz uyining poydevori qoʻyilgandan boshlab, to uy tamomila qurilib boʻlguncha bajarilgan hamma ish muvaffaqiyatli boʻldi. 17 Shundan soʻng Sulaymon Edom yurtidagi Qizil dengiz qirgʻogʻida joylashgan Ezyoʻn–Geber va Elet shaharlariga ketdi. 18 Shoh Xiram oʻz kemachilari va tajribali dengizchilari boshchiligida kemalarni Sulaymonga joʻnatdi. Ular Sulaymonning odamlari bilan birga Ofir yurtiga suzib borib, u yerdan Sulaymonga 960 pud oltin keltirib berdilar.
1 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house, 2 That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there. 3 And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, and prevailed against it. 4 And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath. 5 Also he built Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars; 6 And Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion.
7 ¶ As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel, 8 But of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until this day. 9 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots and horsemen. 10 And these were the chief of king Solomon’s officers, even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people.
11 ¶ And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, whereunto the ark of the LORD hath come.
12 ¶ Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch, 13 Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.
14 ¶ And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise and minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required: the porters also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded. 15 And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures. 16 Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected.
17 ¶ Then went Solomon to Ezion-geber, and to Eloth, at the sea side in the land of Edom. 18 And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
