1 Ljetopisa 22
1 Zato David reče: “Ovo je Dom Jahve i ovo je žrtvenik za paljenice Izraelu!”
Then David said, “This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of 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.
David gave orders to gather together the foreigners who were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to cut dressed stones to build God’s house.
3 David je pripravio mnogo željeza za čavle na vratnim krilima i za kvačice; i bez mjere mnogo tuča.
David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates and for the couplings, and bronze in abundance without weight,
4 Mnogo cedrovine, jer su Sidonci i Tirci dovozili mnogo cedrovih drva Davidu.
and cedar trees without number, for the Sidonians and the people of Tyre 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.
David said, “Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries. I will therefore make preparation for it.” So David prepared abundantly before his death.
6 Potom dozva sina Salomona i zapovjedi mu da sagradi Dom Jahvi, Bogu Izraelovu.
Then he called for Solomon his son, and commanded him to build a house for the LORD, the God of Israel.
7 Još David reče Salomonu: “Sine! Bio sam nakanio u srcu da sagradim Dom imenu Jahve, svoga Boga.
David said to Solomon his son, “As for me, it was in my heart to build a house to the name of the LORD my 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 LORD’s word came to me, saying, ‘You have shed blood abundantly and have made great wars. You shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight.
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 you, who shall be a man of peace. I will give him rest from all his enemies all around; 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 for my name; and he will be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’
11 Sada, moj sine, neka bude Jahve s tobom da izvršiš i sagradiš Dom Jahve, svoga Boga, kao što je rekao za te.
Now, my son, may the LORD be with you and prosper you, and build the house of the LORD your God, as he has spoken concerning you.
12 Samo neka ti Jahve poda razum i mudrost kad te postavi nad Izraelom zato da se držiš Zakona Jahve, svoga Boga!
May the LORD give you discretion and understanding, and put you in charge of Israel, so that you may keep the law of the LORD your 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 you will prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and the ordinances which the LORD gave Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid and don’t be dismayed.
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.
Now, behold, in my affliction I have prepared for the LORD’s house one hundred thousand talents of gold, one million talents of silver, and bronze and iron without weight; for it is in abundance. I have also prepared timber and stone; and you may add to them.
15 Imaš mnogo valjanih radnika, klesara, zidara, tesara i svakovrsnih vještaka u svakom umijeću;
There are also workmen with you in abundance—cutters and workers of stone and timber, and all kinds of men who are skilful in every kind of work;
16 zlatu, srebru, tuču i željezu nema mjere; idi, dakle, i gradi, i neka Jahve bude s tobom!”
of the gold, the silver, the bronze, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and may the LORD be with you.”
17 Tada David zapovjedi svim izraelskim knezovima da pomažu njegovu sinu Salomonu:
David also commanded all the princes 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.
“Isn’t the LORD your God with you? Hasn’t he given you rest on every side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; 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 heart and your soul to follow the LORD your God. Arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the LORD’s covenant and the holy vessels of God into the house that is to be built for the LORD’s name.”
