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.
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 was ever a lover of David.
2 Tada Salomon poruči Hiramu:
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.
"You know how that David my father could not build a house for the name of YHWH his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until YHWH 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 YHWH my God has 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.'
Look, I purpose to build a house for the name of YHWH my God, as YHWH spoke to David my father, saying, 'Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, 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 that they cut me cedar trees out of Lebanon. My servants shall be with your servants; and I will give you wages for your servants according to all that you shall say. For you know that there is not among us any who knows how to cut timber like 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.”
It happened, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, "Blessed is YHWH 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.
Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, "I have heard the message which you have sent to me. I will satisfy all your desire concerning cedar wood and concerning the wood of evergreens.
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. I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place that you shall appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and you shall receive them. You shall 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.
Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat for food to his household, and twenty thousand baths of pure oil. Solomon gave this 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.
YHWH gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and the two of them made a covenant.
13 Tada diže kralj Salomon kulučare iz svega Izraela; kulučara je bilo u svemu trideset tisuća ljudi.
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.
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 forced labor.
15 Salomon je imao i sedamdeset tisuća nosača tereta, osamdeset tisuća kamenorezaca u gori,
Solomon had seventy thousand who bore burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters 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 who were over the work, three thousand and six hundred, who bore rule over the people who labored in the work.
17 Kralj je zapovjedio da lome gromade biranog kamena i da ih klešu za temelje Hrama.
The king commanded, and they cut out great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with worked stone.
18 Graditelji Salomonovi i Hiramovi, i oni iz Gibela, tesali su i pripremali drvo i klesali za gradnju Hrama.
Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Gebalites cut them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.
