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 heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram had always been David’s friend.
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 the will of David my father, and that he could not build a house to the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars that were round about him, until the Lord 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 the Lord my God hath given me rest round about: and there is no 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.'
Wherefore I purpose to build a temple to the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord spoke to David my father, saying: my son, whom I will set upon the throne in thy piece, he shall build a house to 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.”
Give orders therefore that thy servants cut me down cedar trees out of Libanus, and let my servants be with thy servants: and I will give thee the hire of thy servants whatsoever thou wilt ask, for thou knowest how there is not among my people a man that has skill to hew wood like to 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.”
Now when Hiram had heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced exceedingly, and said: Blessed be the Lord God this day, who hath given to David a very wise son over this numerous 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 all thou hast desired of me: and I will do all thy desire concerning cedar trees, and fir trees.
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 Libanus to the sea: and I will put them together in floats in the sea, and convey them to the place, which thou shalt signify to me; and will land them there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt allow me necessaries, to furnish food for my household.
10 Hiram je davao Salomonu drva cedrova i čempresova koliko je htio,
So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees, and fir 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 allowed Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat, for provision for his house, and twenty measures of the purest oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram every year.
12 Jahve je dao mudrost Salomonu, kako mu bijaše obećao; između Hirama i Salomona vladao je mir te oni sklopiše savez.
And the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon, 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 chose workmen cut of all Israel, and the levy was of 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 Libanus, ten thousand every month by turns, so that two months they were at home: and Adoniram was over this levy.
15 Salomon je imao i sedamdeset tisuća nosača tereta, osamdeset tisuća kamenorezaca u gori,
And Solomon had seventy thousand to carry burdens, and eighty thousand to hew stones in the mountain:
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 who were over every work, in number three thousand, and three hundred that ruled over the people, and them that did the work.
17 Kralj je zapovjedio da lome gromade biranog kamena i da ih klešu za temelje Hrama.
And the king commanded, that they should bring great stones, costly stones, for the foundation of the temple, and should square them:
18 Graditelji Salomonovi i Hiramovi, i oni iz Gibela, tesali su i pripremali drvo i klesali za gradnju Hrama.
And the masons of Solomon, and the masons of Hiram hewed them: and the Giblians prepared timber and stones to build the house.
