2 (KAT) Ako oddeľujú tuk od obetného mäsa, tak bol oddelený Dávid od Izraelových synov.

3 (KJV) He played with lions as with kids, and with bears as with lambs.
3 (KAT) S levmi sa hral ako s baránkami a s medveďmi si počínal podobne ako s baránkami oviec za svojej mladosti.

4 (KJV) Slew he not a giant, when he was yet but young? and did he not take away reproach from the people, when he lifted up his hand with the stone in the sling, and beat down the boasting of Goliath?
4 (KAT) Či neporazil obra - a tak neodňal potupu z národa?

5 (KJV) For he called upon the most high Lord; and he gave him strength in his right hand to slay that mighty warrior, and set up the horn of his people.
5 (KAT) Len čo napnul ruku, kameňom z praku povalil chvastavého Goliáša.

6 (KJV) So the people honoured him with ten thousands, and praised him in the blessings of the Lord, in that he gave him a crown of glory.
6 (KAT) Lebo vzýval všemohúceho Pána a on dal silu jeho pravici, aby porazil udatného bojovníka, a tak zvelebil silu svojho národa.

7 (KJV) For he destroyed the enemies on every side, and brought to nought the Philistines his adversaries, and brake their horn in sunder unto this day.
7 (KAT) Tak ho oslavovali „desaťtisícami“, chválili ho pre požehnanie od Pána a venovali mu slávny veniec.

8 (KJV) In all his works he praised the Holy One most high with words of glory; with his whole heart he sung songs, and loved him that made him.
8 (KAT) Lebo rozmlátil nepriateľov zo všetkých strán a vyhubil filištínskych protivníkov až podnes, naveky rozbil všetku ich silu.

9 (KJV) He set singers also before the altar, that by their voices they might make sweet melody, and daily sing praises in their songs.
9 (KAT) Pri každom svojom počínaní vzdával chválu Svätému a Vznešenému oslavnou rečou.

10 (KJV) He beautified their feasts, and set in order the solemn times until the end, that they might praise his holy name, and that the temple might sound from morning.

11 (KJV) The Lord took away his sins, and exalted his horn for ever: he gave him a covenant of kings, and a throne of glory in Israel.
11 (KAT) Ustanovil spevákov naproti oltáru a pre ich spev zložil sladké piesne.

12 (KJV) After him rose up a wise son, and for his sake he dwelt at large.
12 (KAT) (Sviatočným) oslavám dodal lesku, (sviatočné) časy skvele upravil až do konca roka, aby pri nich chválili sväté meno Pána; od rána sa mala mohutne ozývať svätyňa.

13 (KJV) Solomon reigned in a peaceable time, and was honoured; for God made all quiet round about him, that he might build an house in his name, and prepare his sanctuary for ever.
13 (KAT) Boh ho očistil od hriechov a naveky pozdvihol jeho silu: dal mu pevný prísľub o (dôstojnosti) kráľovskej a o slávnom prestole v Izraeli.

14 (KJV) How wise wast thou in thy youth and, as a flood, filled with understanding!

15 (KJV) Thy soul covered the whole earth, and thou filledst it with dark parables.
15 (KAT) Šalamún vládol v pokojných časoch; Boh mu podrobil všetkých nepriateľov, aby mohol vybudovať dom jeho menu a pripraviť svätyňu, (trvajúcu) naveky. Aký si bol múdry vo svojej mladosti,

16 (KJV) Thy name went far unto the islands; and for thy peace thou wast beloved.
16 (KAT) naplnený si bol múdrosťou ako (mohutná) rieka, tvoj duch stačil pokryť zem!

17 (KJV) The countries marvelled at thee for thy songs, and proverbs, and parables, and interpretations.
17 (KAT) Zaplnil si ju tajomnými múdroslovnými výpoveďami, takže sa tvoje meno rozchýrilo až na ďaleké ostrovy; i milovali ťa pre tvoju pokojnú dobu.

18 (KJV) By the name of the Lord God, which is called the Lord God of Israel, thou didst gather gold as tin and didst multiply silver as lead.
18 (KAT) Pre piesne, príslovia, podobenstvá a pre výklady krajiny ťa obdivovali.

19 (KJV) Thou didst bow thy loins unto women, and by thy body thou wast brought into subjection.
19 (KAT) V mene Pána, Boha, ktorý sa volá Boh Izraelov,

20 (KJV) Thou didst stain thy honour, and pollute thy seed: so that thou broughtest wrath upon thy children, and wast grieved for thy folly.

21 (KJV) So the kingdom was divided, and out of Ephraim ruled a rebellious kingdom.

22 (KJV) But the Lord will never leave off his mercy, neither shall any of his works perish, neither will he abolish the posterity of his elect, and the seed of him that loveth him he will not take away: wherefore he gave a remnant unto Jacob, and out of him a root unto David.
22 (KAT) Na svoju slávu si tým uvalil škvrnu a zhanobil si svoje potomstvo: tým si uviedol hnev na svoje dietky a dal si sa dráždiť svojej pochabosti.

23 (KJV) Thus rested Solomon with his fathers, and of his seed he left behind him Roboam, even the foolishness of the people, and one that had no understanding, who turned away the people through his counsel. There was also Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, and shewed Ephraim the way of sin:
23 (KAT) Tak si zavinil, že sa rozdvojilo tvoje kráľovstvo a z Efraima vznikla ríša odbojná.

24 (KJV) And their sins were multiplied exceedingly, that they were driven out of the land.
24 (KAT) Ale Boh neopustí svoje milosrdenstvo, ani nezruší, ani nezničí svoje diela, nezničí potomkov svojho vyvoleného, ani nezahubí potomstvo toho, kto miluje Pána.

25 (KJV) For they sought out all wickedness, till the vengeance came upon them.

26 (KAT) Keď Šalamún došiel ku koncu (života) (a pochovali ho) s jeho otcami,

27 ----
27 (KAT) zanechal po sebe zo svojho potomstva (najväčšieho) sprostáka v národe,

28 ----
28 (KAT) ktorý nemal nijakej rozvahy - Roboama, ktorý svojím rozhodnutím priviedol národ k odpadu;

29 ----
29 (KAT) a tiež Jeroboama, Nabatovho syna, ktorý zviedol Izrael na hriechy a Efraimovi ukázal hriešnu cestu; a tak sa ich hriechy rozmnožili čo najviac.

30 ----
30 (KAT) (Hriechy) ich odviedli ďaleko od vlasti,

31 ----
31 (KAT) lebo sa (ľud) hnal za všetkou neprávosťou, až prišla na nich pomsta. Ale (Boh) ich zbavil všetkých ich hriechov.
