1 Ljetopisa 28

1 David sakupi u Jeruzalem sve izraelske knezove, plemenske knezove i poglavare od redova koji su služili kralja, tisućnike, stotnike i nadstojnike nad svim imanjem i blagom kraljevim i blagom njegovih sinova, zajedno s dvoranima i junacima i svim hrabrim vojnicima.

And David assembleth all the heads of Israel, heads of the tribes, and heads of the courses who are serving the king, and heads of the thousands, and heads of the hundreds, and heads of all the substance and possessions of the king, and of his sons, with the officers and the mighty ones, even to every mighty one of valour — unto Jerusalem.

2 Ustavši na noge, kralj David reče: “Čujte me, moja braćo i moj narode! Ja sam bio namislio u svom srcu da sagradim dom gdje bi počivao Kovčeg saveza Jahvina i da bude podnožje nogama našega Boga te sam pripravio što treba za gradnju.

And David the king riseth on his feet, and saith, 'Hear me, my brethren and my people, I — with my heart — to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and for the footstool of our God, and I prepared to build,

3 Ali mi je Bog rekao: 'Nećeš ti sagraditi Doma mome imenu jer si ratnik i prolijevao si krv.'

and God hath said to me, Thou dost not build a house to My name, for a man of wars thou [art], and blood thou hast shed.

4 Jahve, Izraelov Bog, izabrao je mene od sveg moga roda da budem kralj nad Izraelom zauvijek; jer je Judu izabrao za kneza, a iz Judina doma dom moga oca; između sinova moga oca bilo mu je drago da mene postavi kraljem nad svim Izraelom.

'And Jehovah, God of Israel, doth fix on me out of all the house of my father to be for king over Israel to the age, for on Judah He hath fixed for a leader, and in the house of Judah, the house of my father, and among the sons of my father, on me, [me] He hath been pleased to make king over all Israel;

5 Tako je između mojih sinova, jer mi je mnogo sinova dao Jahve, izabrao moga sina Salomona da sjedi na prijestolju Jahvina kraljevstva nad Izraelom.

and out of all my sons — for many sons hath Jehovah given to me — He also fixeth on Solomon my son, to sit on the throne of the kingdom of Jehovah over Israel,

6 I rekao mi je: 'Tvoj sin Salomon sagradit će meni Dom i moja predvorja; jer sam njega izabrao sebi za sina i ja ću mu biti otac.

and saith to me, Solomon thy son, he doth build My house, and My courts, for I have fixed on him to Me for a son, and I — I am to him for a father,

7 Utvrdit ću njegovo kraljevstvo zauvijek ako bude postojano vršio moje zapovijedi i moje zakone kao danas.'

and I have established his kingdom to the age, if he is strong to do My commands, and My judgments, as at this day.

8 Sada, dakle, pred očima sveg Izraela, Jahvina zbora, i pred svojim Bogom, koji nas sluša, velim: držite i tražite sve zapovijedi Jahve, svoga Boga, da biste zadržali u posjedu ovu dobru zemlju i ostavili je u baštinu svojim sinovima nakon sebe dovijeka.

'And now, before the eyes of all Israel, the assembly of Jehovah, and in the ears of our God, keep and seek all the commands of Jehovah your God, so that ye possess this good land, and have caused your sons to inherit after you unto the age.

9 A ti, sine moj Salomone, poznaj Boga, svoga oca, i služi mu čitavim srcem i spremnom dušom, jer Jahve ispituje sva srca i zna sve misli i namjere; ako ga budeš tražio, dat će ti se da ga nađeš; ako li ga ostaviš, odbacit će te zauvijek.

'And thou, Solomon, my son, know the God of thy father, and serve Him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind, for all hearts is Jehovah seeking, and every imagination of the thoughts He is understanding; if thou dost seek Him, He is found of thee, and if thou dost forsake Him, He casteth thee off for ever.

10 Uvidi sada da te Jahve izabrao da gradiš Dom za Svetište, budi junak i radi!”

See, now, for Jehovah hath fixed on thee to build a house for a sanctuary; be strong, and do.'

11 Tada David predade sinu Salomonu uzorak trijema, njegovih kuća, riznica, gornjih soba, ćelija i doma Pomirilišta;

And David giveth to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of its houses, and of its treasures, and of its upper chambers, and of its innermost chambers, and of the house of the atonement;

12 uzorak svega što bijaše smislio u duhu za predvorja Jahvina Doma, za sve sobe unaokolo, za riznicu Doma Božjega, za riznicu posvećenih stvari,

and the pattern of all that hath been by the Spirit with him, for the courts of the house of Jehovah, and for all the chambers round about, for the treasures of the house of God, and for the treasures of the things sacrificed;

13 za svećeničke i levitske redove, za svaki posao u službi oko Doma Jahvina:

and for the courses of the priests and of the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, and for all vessels of service of the house of Jehovah,

14 zlato u šipkama, zlato potrebno za sve zlatno posuđe ove ili one službe; srebro u šipkama potrebno za sve srebrno posuđe, za sve posuđe ove ili one službe;

even gold by weight, for [things of] gold, for all instruments of service and service; for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of service and service;

15 šipke za zlatne svijećnjake sa zlatnim svjetiljkama, prema težini svakoga svijećnjaka i njegovih svjetiljaka, i za srebrne svijećnjake prema težini svakoga svijećnjaka i njegovih svjetiljaka i prema namjeni svakog svijećnjaka;

and [by] weight for the candlesticks of gold, and their lamps of gold, by weight [for] candlestick and candlestick, and its lamps; and for the candlesticks of silver, by weight for a candlestick and its lamps, according to the service of candlestick and candlestick;

16 zlato u šipkama za stolove na kojima će stajati prineseni hljebovi, za svaki stol; srebro za srebrne stolove,

and the gold [by] weight for tables of the arrangement, for table and table, and silver for the tables of silver;

17 za viljuške i kotliće, za čaše od čista zlata, za zlatne pehare, zlato u šipkama za svaki pehar; za srebrne pehare, srebro u šipkama za svaki pehar,

and the forks, and the bowls, and the cups of pure gold, and for the basins of gold, by weight for basin and basin, and for the basins of silver, by weight for basin and basin,

18 za kadioni žrtvenik žeženoga zlata u šipkama; za uzorak od kola sa zlatnim kerubinima koji će raširenim krilima zaklanjati Jahvin Kovčeg.

and for the altar of perfume refined gold by weight, and for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubs of gold — spreading and covering over the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.

19 Sve to u skladu s onim što Jahve napisa vlastitom rukom da bi razjasnio cijelo djelo za koje on pribavi uzorak.

The whole [is] in writing from the hand of Jehovah, 'He caused me to understand all the work of the pattern,' [said David.]

20 Tada David reče svome sinu Salomonu: “Budi junak, hrabar, i radi! Ne boj se i ne plaši se, jer će Jahve, Bog, moj Bog, biti s tobom! Neće te napustiti niti te ostaviti dok ne svršiš sav posao za službu oko Jahvina Doma.

And David saith to Solomon his son, 'Be strong, and courageous, and do; do not fear nor be affrighted, for Jehovah God, my God, [is] with thee; He doth not fail thee, nor forsake thee, unto the completion of all the work of the service of the house of Jehovah.

21 Evo svećeničkih i levitskih redova za svaku službu u Božjem Domu; imaš uza se za svaki posao svakovrsnih ljudi, spremnih i vještih svakoj službi, knezovi i sav narod pod tvojim su zapovjedništvom.”

'And lo, courses of the priests and of the Levites [are] for all the service of the house of God; and with thee in all work [is] every willing one with wisdom, for every service; and the heads and all the people [are] according to all thy words.'
