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 to Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the place of his father; for Hiram always loved 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 that David my father could not build a house unto the name of Jehovah his God, because of 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 has given me rest on every side: there is neither adversary nor evil event.
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 unto the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spoke to David my father saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy stead, he shall build a house unto 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.”
And now command that they hew 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 are experienced in cutting timber like to the Zidonians.
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 has given to 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 things which thou sentest to me for: I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of cypress.
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 to the sea; and I will convey them by sea [in] rafts to 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 cedar-trees and cypress-trees [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 as food for his household, and twenty measures of beaten 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.
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, two months at home; and Adoniram was over the levy.
15 Salomon je imao i sedamdeset tisuća nosača tereta, osamdeset tisuća kamenorezaca u gori,
And Solomon had seventy thousand that bore burdens, and eighty thousand stone-masons 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 the overseers whom Solomon had set over the work, three thousand three hundred, who ruled 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 brought great stones, costly stones, hewn stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
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 Giblites hewed them, and prepared timber and stones to build the house.
