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.

And king David said to all the assembly: Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is as yet young and tender: and the work is great, for a house is prepared not for man, but for 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.

And I with all my ability have prepared the expenses for the house of my God. Gold for vessels of gold, and silver for vessels of silver, brass for things of brass, iron for things of iron, wood for things of wood: and onyx stones, and stones like alabaster, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble of Paros in great 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.

Now over and above the things which I have offered into the house of my God I give of my own proper goods, gold and silver for the temple of my God, beside what things I have prepared for the holy house.

4 Tri tisuće zlatnih talenata ofirskoga zlata i sedam tisuća talenata čistoga srebra da se oblože zidovi prostorija.

Three thousand talents of gold of the gold of Ophir: and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the temple.

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?”

And gold for wheresoever there is need of gold: and silver for wheresoever there is need of silver, for the works to be made by the hands of the artificers: now if any man is willing to offer, let him fill his hand today, and offer what he pleaseth to the Lord.

6 Tada su dragovoljno priložili knezovi obitelji i knezovi izraelskih plemena, tisućnici, stotnici i nadstojnici nad kraljevskim poslovima.

Then the heads of the families, and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, and the overseers of the king’s possessions promised,

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.

And they gave for the works of the house of the Lord, of gold, five thousand talents, and ten thousand solids: of silver ten thousand talents: and of brass eighteen thousand talents: and of iron a hundred thousand talents.

8 U koga se god našlo dragulja, svi su darivali u riznicu Jahvina Doma na ruke Jehiela Geršonovca.

And all they that had stones, gave them to the treasures of the house of the Lord, by the hand of Jahiel the Gersonite.

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, when they promised their offerings willingly: because they offered them to the Lord with all their heart: and David the king rejoiced also with a great joy.

10 Potom David blagoslovi Jahvu pred svim zborom. I reče David: “Blagoslovljen da si, Jahve, Bože našeg oca Izraela, od vijeka do vijeka!

And he blessed the Lord before all the multitude, and he said: Blessed art thou, O Lord the God of Israel, our father from eternity to eternity.

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!

Thine, O Lord, is magnificence, and power, and glory, and victory: and to thee is praise: for all that is in heaven, and in earth, is thine: thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art above all princes.

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.

Thine are riches, and thine is glory, thou hast dominion over all, in thy hand is power and might: in thy hand greatness, and the empire of all things.

13 I slavimo te, Bože naš, i hvalimo tvoje dično ime.

Now therefore our God we give thanks to thee, and we praise thy 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!

Who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to promise thee all these things? all things are thine: and we have given thee what we received of thy hand.

15 Pridošlice smo pred tobom, naseljenici kao svi naši očevi; naši dani na zemlji prolaze kao sjena i nema nade.

For we are sojourners before thee, and strangers, as were all our fathers. Our days upon earth are as a shadow, and there is no stay.

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, all this store that we have prepared to build thee a house for thy holy name, is from thy hand, and all things are thine.

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 thou provest hearts, and lovest simplicity, wherefore I also in the simplicity of my heart, have joyfully offered all these things: and I have seen with great joy thy people, which are here present, offer thee their offerings.

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 Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Israel our fathers, keep for ever this will of their heart, and let this mind remain always for the worship of thee.

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 to Solomon my son a perfect heart, that he may keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy ceremonies, and do all things: and build the house, for which I have provided the charges.

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.

And David commanded all the assembly: Bless ye the Lord our God. And all the assembly blessed the Lord the God of their fathers: and they bowed themselves and worshipped God, and then 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.

And they sacrificed victims to the Lord: and they offered holocausts the next day, a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs, with their libations, and with every thing prescribed most abundantly 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.

And they ate, and drank before the Lord that day with great joy. And they anointed the second time Solomon the son of David. And they anointed him to the Lord to be prince, and Sadoc to be high priest.

23 Tako je Salomon sjeo na Jahvino prijestolje da kraljuje namjesto svoga oca Davida. Bio je sretan i slušao ga je sav Izrael.

And Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father, and he pleased all: 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.

And all the princes, and men of power, and all the sons of king David gave their hand, and were subject to Solomon the king.

25 Jahve je vrlo uzvisio Salomona pred očima sveg Izraela i dao njegovu kraljevstvu veličanstvo kakvo nijedan kralj prije njega nije imao u Izraelu.

And the Lord magnified Solomon over all Israel: and gave him the glory of a reign, such as no king of Israel had before him.

26 Tako je Jišajev sin David kraljevao nad svim Izraelom.

So David the son of Isai reigned over all Israel.

27 Nad Izraelom je kraljevao četrdeset godina; u Hebronu je kraljevao sedam godina, u Jeruzalemu je kraljevao trideset i tri godine.

And the days that he reigned over Israel, were forty years: in Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem three and thirty years.

28 Umro je u lijepoj starosti, nauživši se života, bogatstva i slave. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Salomon.

And he died in a good age, full of days, and riches, and glory. And Solomon his son reigned in his stead.

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 first and last are written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer:

30 sa svim njegovim kraljevanjem, njegovim junaštvom i događajima što prijeđoše preko njega i Izraela i svih drugih kraljevstava zemaljskih.

And of all his reign, and his valour, and of the times that passed under him, either in Israel, or in all the kingdoms of the countries.
