1 Ljetopisa 22
1 Zato David reče: “Ovo je Dom Jahve i ovo je žrtvenik za paljenice Izraelu!”
And David said, This is the house of the Lord God, and this [is] the altar for whole-burnt-offering for Israel.
2 David zapovjedi da se skupe stranci koji su bili u izraelskoj zemlji i odredi klesare da propisno klešu kamenje za gradnju Doma Božjeg.
And David gave orders to gather all the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he appointed stone-hewers to hew polished stones to build the house to God.
3 David je pripravio mnogo željeza za čavle na vratnim krilima i za kvačice; i bez mjere mnogo tuča.
And David prepared much iron for the nails of the doors and the gate; the hinges also and brass in abundance, there was no weighing [of it].
4 Mnogo cedrovine, jer su Sidonci i Tirci dovozili mnogo cedrovih drva Davidu.
And cedar threes without number: for the Sidonians and the Tyrians brought cedar trees in abundance to David.
5 Jer David mišljaše: “Moj je sin Salomon mlad i nježan, a Dom koji treba graditi Jahvi mora biti veličanstven, na slavu i čast po svim zemljama. Hajde da mu sve pripravim.” I David je pripravio mnogo toga prije svoje smrti.
And David said, My son Solomon [is] a tender child, and the house [for me] to build to the Lord [is] for superior magnificence for a name and for a glory through all the earth: I will make preparation for it. And David prepared abundantly before his death.
6 Potom dozva sina Salomona i zapovjedi mu da sagradi Dom Jahvi, Bogu Izraelovu.
And he called Solomon his son, and commanded him to build the house for the Lord God of Israel.
7 Još David reče Salomonu: “Sine! Bio sam nakanio u srcu da sagradim Dom imenu Jahve, svoga Boga.
And David said to Solomon, [My] child, it was in my heart to build a house to the name of the Lord God.
8 Ali mi je došla Jahvina riječ: 'Mnogo si krvi prolio i velike si ratove vodio; nećeš ti graditi Doma mome imenu jer si mnogo krvi prolio na zemlju preda mnom.
But the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast carried on great wars: thou shalt not build a house to my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth before me.
9 Gle, rodit će ti se sin; on će biti miroljubac i dat ću mu mir od svih njegovih neprijatelja odasvud unaokolo; ime će mu biti Salomon. Mir i pokoj dat ću Izraelu za njegova vremena.
Behold, a son shall be born to thee, he shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name [shall be] Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.
10 On će sagraditi Dom mome imenu, on će mi biti sin, a ja ću njemu biti otac i utvrdit ću njegovo kraljevsko prijestolje nad Izraelom zauvijek.'
He shall build a house to my name; and he shall be a son to me, and I will be a father to him; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom in Israel for ever.
11 Sada, moj sine, neka bude Jahve s tobom da izvršiš i sagradiš Dom Jahve, svoga Boga, kao što je rekao za te.
And now, my son, the Lord shall be with thee, and prosper [thee]; and thou shalt build a house to the Lord thy God, as he spoke concerning thee.
12 Samo neka ti Jahve poda razum i mudrost kad te postavi nad Izraelom zato da se držiš Zakona Jahve, svoga Boga!
Only may the Lord give thee wisdom and prudence, and strengthen thee over Israel, both to keep and to do the law of the Lord thy God.
13 Bit ćeš sretan budeš li brižno vršio uredbe i zakone koje je Jahve preko Mojsija dao Izraelu. Budi junak i hrabar, ne boj se i ne plaši se!
Then will he prosper [thee], if thou take heed to do the commandments and judgments which the Lord commanded Moses for Israel: be courageous and strong; fear not, nor be terrified.
14 Ja sam, evo, svojim trudom pripravio za Dom Jahvin sto tisuća zlatnih talenata i milijun srebrnih talenata, a tuča i željeza bez mjere, jer ga je tako mnogo. Pripravio sam i drva i kamenja, a i ti dodaj nešto k tomu.
And, behold, I according to my poverty have prepared for the house of the Lord a hundred thousand talents of gold, and a million talents of silver, and brass and iron without measure; for it is abundant; and I have prepared timber and stones; and do thou add to these.
15 Imaš mnogo valjanih radnika, klesara, zidara, tesara i svakovrsnih vještaka u svakom umijeću;
And [of them that are] with thee do thou add to the multitude of workmen; [let there be] artificers and masons, and carpenters, and every skilful [workman] in every work;
16 zlatu, srebru, tuču i željezu nema mjere; idi, dakle, i gradi, i neka Jahve bude s tobom!”
in gold and silver, brass and iron, [of which] there is no number. Arise and do, and the Lord [be] with thee.
17 Tada David zapovjedi svim izraelskim knezovima da pomažu njegovu sinu Salomonu:
And David charged all the chief men of Israel to help Solomon his son, [saying],
18 “Nije li s vama Jahve, Bog vaš, koji vam je dao mir odasvud unaokolo jer je predao u moje ruke stanovnike ove zemlje i zemlja je pokorena pred Jahvom i pred njegovim narodom.
[Is] not the Lord with you? and he has given you rest round about, for he has given into your hands the inhabitants of the land; and the land is subdued before the Lord, and before his people.
19 Sada, dakle, pregnite svojim srcem i svojom dušom da tražite Jahvu, svoga Boga; idite i gradite Svetište Bogu Jahvi, unesite Kovčeg saveza Jahvina i Božje sveto posuđe u Dom koji će se sagraditi Jahvinu imenu!”
Now set your hearts and souls to seek after the Lord your God: and rise, and build a sanctuary to your God to carry in the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the Lord.
