1 Kraljevima 5
1 Tirski kralj Hiram posla svoje sluge Salomonu, jer bijaše čuo da su ga pomazali za kralja na mjesto njegova oca, a Hiram je svagda bio prijatelj Davidov.
And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David.
2 Tada Salomon poruči Hiramu:
And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
3 “Ti znaš dobro da moj otac David nije mogao sagraditi Doma imenu Jahve, svoga Boga, zbog ratova kojima su ga okružili neprijatelji sa svih strana, sve dok ih Jahve nije položio pod stopala nogu njegovih.
Thou knowest how that David my father could not build a house for the name of Jehovah his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until Jehovah put them under the soles of his feet.
4 Sada mi je Jahve, Bog moj, dao mir posvuda unaokolo: nemam neprijatelja ni zlih udesa.
But now Jehovah my God hath given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary, nor evil occurrence.
5 Namjeravam, dakle, sagraditi Dom imenu Jahve, Boga svoga, kako je Jahve rekao mome ocu Davidu: 'Tvoj sin koga ću mjesto tebe postaviti na tvoje prijestolje, on će sagraditi Dom mome Imenu.'
And, behold, I purpose to build a house for the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build the house for my name.
6 Stoga sada zapovjedi da mi nasijeku cedrova na Libanonu; moje će sluge biti sa slugama tvojim, i ja ću platiti nadnicu tvojim slugama prema svemu kako mi odrediš. Ti znaš dobro da u nas nema ljudi koji umiju sjeći drva kao Sidonci.”
Now therefore command thou that they cut me cedar-trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants; and I will give thee hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt say: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that knoweth how to cut timber like unto the Sidonians.
7 Kada je Hiram primio Salomonovu poruku, veoma se obradova i reče: “Neka je blagoslovljen danas Jahve koji je dao mudra sina Davidu, koji upravlja ovim velikim narodom.”
And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be Jehovah this day, who hath given unto David a wise son over this great people.
8 I Hiram javi Salomonu: “Primio sam tvoju poruku. Ispunit ću u svemu tvoju želju glede drva cedrova i drva čempresova.
And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have heard [the message] which thou hast sent unto me: I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.
9 Moje će ih sluge dopremiti s Libanona na more, složit ću ih u splavi i pustiti ih morem do mjesta koje ćeš mi označiti; ondje ću ih razložiti i ti ćeš ih uzeti. Ti ćeš pak ispuniti moju želju i dati hranu mojoj čeljadi.”
My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea; and I will make them into rafts to go by sea unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and thou shalt receive them; and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.
10 Hiram je davao Salomonu drva cedrova i čempresova koliko je htio,
So Hiram gave Solomon timber of cedar and timber of fir according to all his desire.
11 a Salomon je davao Hiramu dvadeset tisuća kora pšenice za hranu ljudstvu, i dvadeset tisuća kora ulja od tiještenih maslina. Toliko je Salomon davao Hiramu godinu za godinom.
And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.
12 Jahve je dao mudrost Salomonu, kako mu bijaše obećao; između Hirama i Salomona vladao je mir te oni sklopiše savez.
And Jehovah gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.
13 Tada diže kralj Salomon kulučare iz svega Izraela; kulučara je bilo u svemu trideset tisuća ljudi.
And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
14 Slao ih je naizmjence na Libanon, svakog mjeseca deset tisuća ljudi: bili su mjesec dana na Libanonu, a dva mjeseca kod kuće. Adoniram je bio nad svim kulučarima.
And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses; a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was over the men subject to taskwork.
15 Salomon je imao i sedamdeset tisuća nosača tereta, osamdeset tisuća kamenorezaca u gori,
And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand that were hewers in the mountains;
16 ne računajući glavara službeničkih koji su upravljali poslovima; njih je bilo tri tisuće i tri stotine, a upravljali su narodom zaposlenim na radovima.
besides Solomon’s chief officers that were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, who bare rule over the people that wrought in the work.
17 Kralj je zapovjedio da lome gromade biranog kamena i da ih klešu za temelje Hrama.
And the king commanded, and they hewed out great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with wrought stone.
18 Graditelji Salomonovi i Hiramovi, i oni iz Gibela, tesali su i pripremali drvo i klesali za gradnju Hrama.
And Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders and the Gebalites did fashion them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.
