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 place of his father; for Hiram had always loved David.
2 Tada Salomon poruči Hiramu:
Solomon sent word 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 that David my father could not build a house for the name of Yahweh his God because of the wars that surrounded him, for during his lifetime Yahweh was putting his enemies under the soles of his feet.
4 Sada mi je Jahve, Bog moj, dao mir posvuda unaokolo: nemam neprijatelja ni zlih udesa.
But now, Yahweh my God has given me rest on every side. There is neither adversary nor disaster.
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.'
So I intend to build a temple for the name of Yahweh my God, as Yahweh spoke to David my father, saying, 'Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, will build the temple 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 cedars from Lebanon for me. My servants will join your servants, and I will pay you for your servants so that you are paid fairly for everything you agreed to do. For you know there is no one among us 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.”
When Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly and said, “May Yahweh be blessed today, 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 word to Solomon, saying, “I have heard the message that you have sent to me. I will provide all the wood of cedar and cypress that you desire.
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 will bring the trees down from Lebanon to the sea, and I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place that you direct me. I will have them broken up there, and you will take them away. You will do what I desire by giving food for my household.”
10 Hiram je davao Salomonu drva cedrova i čempresova koliko je htio,
So Hiram gave Solomon all the timber of cedar and fir that he desired.
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 measures of wheat for food to his household and twenty measures 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.
Yahweh gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him. 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 conscripted labor out of all Israel. The forced laborers numbered 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 in shifts. One month they were in Lebanon and two months at home. Adoniram was over the men who were subjected to forced labor.
15 Salomon je imao i sedamdeset tisuća nosača tereta, osamdeset tisuća kamenorezaca u gori,
Solomon had seventy thousand who carried burdens and eighty thousand who were stonecutters 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 3,300 chief officers who were over the work and who supervised the workers.
17 Kralj je zapovjedio da lome gromade biranog kamena i da ih klešu za temelje Hrama.
At the king's command they quarried large stones of high quality with which to lay the foundation of the temple.
18 Graditelji Salomonovi i Hiramovi, i oni iz Gibela, tesali su i pripremali drvo i klesali za gradnju Hrama.
So Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Gebalites did the cutting and prepared the timber and the stones to build the temple.
