1 Ljetopisa 29
1 Kralj David reče svemu zboru: “Bog je izabrao moga sina Salomona, mlado i nježno momče, a ovo je velik posao, jer neće biti za čovjeka dvor nego za Boga Jahvu.
Then King David said to the whole assembly, “My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen, is young and inexperienced. The task is great because this palace is not for man, but for the LORD God.
2 Pripremio sam, koliko sam mogao, za Dom svoga Boga zlata za zlatne stvari i srebra za srebrne, tuča za tučane, željeza za željezne, drva za drvene; oniksova kamenja i dragulja za ukivanje, dragulja za ukras i šarenih dragulja, svakojakoga dragog kamenja i izobila mramora.
Now with all my ability I have made provision for the house of my God—gold for the gold articles, silver for the silver, bronze for the bronze, iron for the iron, and wood for the wood, as well as onyx for the settings, turquoise, stones of various colors, all kinds of precious stones, and slabs of marble—all in abundance.
3 Iz ljubavi prema Bogu dajem još i svoga zlata i srebra za Dom svoga Boga, osim svega što sam pripravio za sveti Dom.
Moreover, because of my delight in the house of my God, I now give for it my personal treasures of gold and silver, over and above all that I have provided for this holy temple:
4 Tri tisuće zlatnih talenata ofirskoga zlata i sedam tisuća talenata čistoga srebra da se oblože zidovi prostorija.
three thousand talents of gold (the gold of Ophir) and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the buildings,
5 Zlato za zlatne stvari, a srebro za srebrne i za svako djelo umjetničkih ruku. Bi li danas još tko htio dragovoljno što priložiti svojom rukom Jahvi?”
for the gold work and the silver work, and for all the work to be done by the craftsmen. Now who will volunteer to consecrate himself to the LORD today?”
6 Tada su dragovoljno priložili knezovi obitelji i knezovi izraelskih plemena, tisućnici, stotnici i nadstojnici nad kraljevskim poslovima.
Then the leaders of the households, the officers of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and the officials in charge of the king’s work gave willingly.
7 Dali su za službu u Božjem Domu zlata pet tisuća talenata i deset tisuća zlatnih darika, srebra deset tisuća talenata, tuča osamnaest tisuća talenata, željeza sto tisuća talenata.
Toward the service of God’s house they gave 5,000 talents and 10,000 darics of gold, 10,000 talents of silver, 18,000 talents of bronze, and 100,000 talents of iron.
8 U koga se god našlo dragulja, svi su darivali u riznicu Jahvina Doma na ruke Jehiela Geršonovca.
Whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the LORD, under the care of Jehiel the Gershonite.
9 Narod se veselio što su dragovoljno prilagali, jer su prilagali iskrena srca Jahvi; i kralj David radovao se od srca.
And the people rejoiced at the willing response of their leaders, for they had given to the LORD freely and wholeheartedly. And King David also rejoiced greatly.
10 Potom David blagoslovi Jahvu pred svim zborom. I reče David: “Blagoslovljen da si, Jahve, Bože našeg oca Izraela, od vijeka do vijeka!
Then David blessed the LORD in the sight of all the assembly and said: “May You be blessed, O LORD, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.
11 Tvoja je, Jahve, veličina, sila, slava, sjaj i veličanstvo, jer je tvoje sve što je na nebu i na zemlji; tvoje je, Jahve, kraljevstvo i ti si uzvišen povrh svega, Poglavar svega!
Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in heaven and on earth belongs to You. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom, and You are exalted as head over all.
12 Od tebe je bogatstvo i slava, ti vladaš nad svim, u tvojoj je ruci sila i moć, u tvojoj je vlasti da učiniš velikim i jakim sve.
Both riches and honor come from You, and You are the ruler over all. In Your hands are power and might to exalt and give strength to all.
13 I slavimo te, Bože naš, i hvalimo tvoje dično ime.
Now therefore, our God, we give You thanks, and we praise Your glorious name.
14 Tko sam ja i što je moj narod da bismo imali snage ovoliko prinijeti tebi dragovoljno? Od tebe je sve, i iz tvojih ruku primivši, dali smo tebi!
But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? For everything comes from You, and from Your own hand we have given to You.
15 Pridošlice smo pred tobom, naseljenici kao svi naši očevi; naši dani na zemlji prolaze kao sjena i nema nade.
For we are foreigners and strangers in Your presence, as were all our forefathers. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.
16 Jahve, Bože naš, sve ovo mnogo blago koje smo pripravili za gradnju Doma tebi, tvome svetom imenu, iz tvoje je ruke i sve je tvoje!
O LORD our God, from Your hand comes all this abundance that we have provided to build You a house for Your holy Name, and all of it belongs to You.
17 Ali znam, o Bože moj, da ti iskušavaš srca i da ljubiš iskrenost; ja sam iskrena srca dragovoljno prinio sve ovo i s radošću sam gledao tvoj narod koji je ovdje kako ti dragovoljno prinosi.
I know, my God, that You test the heart and delight in uprightness. All these things I have given willingly and with an upright heart, and now I have seen Your people who are present here giving joyfully and willingly to You.
18 Jahve, Bože naših otaca Abrahama, Izaka i Jakova, sačuvaj dovijeka u srcu svoga naroda tu misao i namjeru i upravi njegovo srce k sebi!
O LORD, God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, keep this desire forever in the intentions of the hearts of Your people, and direct their hearts toward You.
19 A mome sinu Salomonu daj pošteno srce da bi se držao tvojih zapovijedi, tvojih odredaba i tvojih uredaba, da bi vršio sve i da bi sagradio dvor za koji sam sve spremio!”
And give my son Solomon a whole heart to keep and carry out all Your commandments, decrees, and statutes, and to build Your palace for which I have made provision.”
20 Tada David reče svemu zboru: “Blagoslovite sada Jahvu, svoga Boga!” I sav je zbor blagoslovio Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca, i, pavši ničice, poklonio se Jahvi i kralju.
Then David said to the whole assembly, “Blessed be the LORD your God.” So the whole assembly blessed the LORD, the God of their fathers. They bowed down and paid homage to the LORD and to the king.
21 Žrtvovali su Jahvi klanice i prinijeli Jahvi paljenice sutradan: tisuću junaca, tisuću ovnova, tisuću jaganjaca s njihovim ljevanicama, mnogo drugih žrtava za sav Izrael.
The next day they offered sacrifices and presented burnt offerings to the LORD: a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, along with their drink offerings, and other sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.
22 Jeli su i pili pred Jahvom onoga dana vrlo se radujući. Zakraljili su po drugi put Davidova sina Salomona i pomazali ga po Jahvinoj volji za kneza, a Sadoka za svećenika.
That day they ate and drank with great joy in the presence of the LORD. Then, for a second time, they designated David’s son Solomon as king, anointing him before the LORD as ruler, and Zadok as the priest.
23 Tako je Salomon sjeo na Jahvino prijestolje da kraljuje namjesto svoga oca Davida. Bio je sretan i slušao ga je sav Izrael.
So Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king in place of his father David. He prospered, and all Israel obeyed him.
24 Svi su knezovi i junaci i svi sinovi kralja Davida pružili ruku kralju Salomonu i svečano mu obećali pokornost.
All the officials and mighty men, as well as all of King David’s sons, pledged their allegiance to King Solomon.
25 Jahve je vrlo uzvisio Salomona pred očima sveg Izraela i dao njegovu kraljevstvu veličanstvo kakvo nijedan kralj prije njega nije imao u Izraelu.
The LORD highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel and bestowed on him royal majesty such as had not been bestowed on any king in Israel before him.
26 Tako je Jišajev sin David kraljevao nad svim Izraelom.
David son of Jesse was king over all Israel.
27 Nad Izraelom je kraljevao četrdeset godina; u Hebronu je kraljevao sedam godina, u Jeruzalemu je kraljevao trideset i tri godine.
The length of David’s reign over Israel was forty years—seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
28 Umro je u lijepoj starosti, nauživši se života, bogatstva i slave. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Salomon.
He died at a ripe old age, full of years, riches, and honor, and his son Solomon reigned in his place.
29 Djela kralja Davida, od prvog do posljednjeg, zapisana su u povijesti vidioca Samuela, u povijesti proroka Natana i u povijesti vidioca Gada,
Now the acts of King David, from first to last, are indeed written in the Chronicles of Samuel the Seer, the Chronicles of Nathan the Prophet, and the Chronicles of Gad the Seer,
30 sa svim njegovim kraljevanjem, njegovim junaštvom i događajima što prijeđoše preko njega i Izraela i svih drugih kraljevstava zemaljskih.
together with all the details of his reign, his might, and the circumstances that came upon him and Israel and all the kingdoms of the lands.
