1 Kraljevima 8
1 Tada Salomon sazva u Jeruzalem sve starješine Izraelove, sve knezove plemenske i glavare obitelji da se prenese Kovčeg saveza Jahvina iz grada, Davidova grada, to jest sa Siona.
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers of the sons of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.
2 Svi se ljudi Izraelovi sabraše pred kraljem Salomonom na blagdan u mjesecu Etanimu (to je sedmi mjesec).
And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
3 I kad su došle Izraelove starješine, svećenici ponesoše Kovčeg
And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
4 i Šator sastanka sa svim posvećenim priborom što bješe u Šatoru. Prenosili su ih svećenici i leviti.
And they brought up the ark of Jehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent; even these the priests and the Levites brought up.
5 Kralj Salomon i sva zajednica Izraelova koja se sabrala oko njega žrtvovali su pred Kovčegom toliko ovaca i goveda da se ne mogahu prebrojiti ni procijeniti.
And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.
6 Svećenici donesoše Kovčeg saveza Jahvina na njegovo mjesto, u Debir Doma, to jest u Svetinju nad svetinjama, pod krila kerubina.
And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.
7 Kerubini su, naime, imali raširena krila nad mjestom gdje stajaše Kovčeg i zaklanjahu odozgo Kovčeg i njegove motke.
For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves of it above.
8 [8a] Motke su bile tako dugačke da su im se krajevi vidjeli iz Svetišta nasuprot Debiru, ali se nisu vidjele izvana.
And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the holy place before the oracle. But they were not seen outside. And there they are to this day.
9 U Kovčegu nije bilo ništa, osim dviju kamenih ploča koje metnu Mojsije na Horebu, gdje Jahve sklopi Savez s Izraelcima pošto iziđoše iz Egipta. [8b] Ondje su ostale do danas.
There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses put there at Horeb when Jehovah made a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
10 A kad su svećenici izašli iz Svetišta, oblak ispuni Dom Jahvin,
And it came to pass, when the priests came out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Jehovah,
11 i svećenici ne mogoše od oblaka nastaviti službe: slava Jahvina ispuni Dom Božji!
so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud, for the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah.
12 Tada reče Salomon: “Jahve odluči prebivati u tmastu oblaku,
Then Solomon spoke, Jehovah has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
13 a ja ti sagradih uzvišen Dom da u njemu prebivaš zauvijek.”
I have surely built thee a house of habitation, a place for thee to dwell in forever.
14 I, okrenuvši se, kralj blagoslovi sav izraelski zbor, a sav je izraelski zbor stajao.
And the king turned his face around, and blessed all the assembly of Israel. And all the assembly of Israel stood.
15 Reče on: “Neka je blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, koji je svojom rukom ispunio obećanje što ga na svoja usta dade ocu mome Davidu, rekavši:
And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
16 'Od dana kad izvedoh svoj narod iz zemlje egipatske, nisam izabrao grada ni iz kojega Izraelova plemena da se u njemu sagradi Dom gdje bi prebivalo moje Ime, nego sam izabrao Davida da on zapovijeda mojim narodom Izraelom.'
Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be there, but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
17 Otac mi David naumi podići Dom Imenu Jahve, Boga Izraelova,
Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
18 ali mu Jahve reče: 'Naumio si podići Dom mojem Imenu, i dobro učini,
But Jehovah said to David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou did well that it was in thy heart.
19 ali nećeš ti podići toga Doma, nego sin tvoj koji izađe iz tvoga krila, on će podići Dom mojem Imenu.'
Nevertheless thou shall not build the house, but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.
20 Jahve ispuni obećanje svoje: naslijedio sam svoga oca Davida i sjeo na prijestolje Izraelovo, kako obeća Jahve, i podigao Dom Imenu Jahve, Boga Izraelova,
And Jehovah has established his word that he spoke, for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and have built the house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
21 i odredio sam da ondje bude mjesto Kovčegu u kojem je Savez što ga Jahve sklopi s našim ocima kad ih je izveo iz zemlje egipatske.”
And there I have set a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with our fathers when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
22 Tada Salomon stupi, u nazočnosti svega zbora Izraelova, pred žrtvenik Jahvin, raširi ruke prema nebu
And Solomon stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.
23 i reče: “Jahve, Bože Izraelov! Nijedan ti bog nije sličan ni na nebesima ni dolje na zemlji, tebi koji držiš Savez i ljubav svojim slugama što kroče pred tobom sa svim svojim srcem.
And he said, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with thy servants, who walk before thee with all their heart,
24 Sluzi svome Davidu, mome ocu, ti si ispunio što si mu obećao. Što si obećao na svoja usta, ispunio si svojom rukom upravo danas.
who have kept with thy servant David my father that which thou did promise him. Yea, thou spoke with thy mouth, and have fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is this day.
25 Sada, Jahve, Bože Izraelov, ispuni svome sluzi, ocu mome Davidu, što si obećao kad si rekao: 'Neće ti preda mnom nestati nasljednika koji bi sjedio na izraelskom prijestolju, samo ako tvoji sinovi budu čuvali svoje putove hodeći po mojem zakonu kako si ti hodio preda mnom.'
Now therefore, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou have promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy sons take heed to their way, to walk before me as thou have walked before me.
26 Sada, dakle, Jahve, Bože Izraelov, neka se ispuni tvoje obećanje koje si dao svome sluzi Davidu, mome ocu!
Now therefore, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spoke to thy servant David my father.
27 Ali zar će Bog doista boraviti s ljudima na zemlji? TÓa nebesa ni nebesa nad nebesima ne mogu ga obuhvatiti, a kamoli ovaj Dom što sam ga sagradio!
But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee. How much less this house that I have built!
28 Pomno počuj molitvu i vapaj svoga sluge, Jahve, Bože moj, te usliši vapaj i molitvu što je tvoj sluga tebi upućuje!
Yet have thou respect to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken to the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prays before thee this day,
29 Neka tvoje oči obdan i obnoć budu otvorene nad ovim Domom, nad ovim mjestom za koje reče: 'Tu će biti moje Ime.' Usliši molitvu koju će sluga tvoj izmoliti na ovome mjestu.
that thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place whereof thou have said, My name shall be there, to hearken to the prayer which thy servant shall pray toward this place.
30 I usliši molitvu sluge svoga i naroda svojega izraelskog koju bude upravljao prema ovome mjestu. Usliši s mjesta gdje prebivaš, s nebesa; usliši i oprosti.
And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place. Yea, hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and when thou hear, forgive.
31 Ako tko zgriješi protiv bližnjega i naredi mu se da se zakune, a zakletva dođe pred tvoj žrtvenik u ovom Domu,
If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before thine altar in this house,
32 tada je ti čuj u nebu i postupaj i sudi svojim slugama, osudi krivca okrećući njegova djela na njegovu glavu, a nevina oslobodi postupajući s njime po nevinosti njegovoj.
then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
33 Ako narod tvoj bude potučen od neprijatelja jer se ogriješio o tebe, ali se ipak k tebi obrati i proslavi Ime tvoje i u ovom se Domu pomoli,
When thy people Israel are smitten down before the enemy because they have sinned against thee, if they turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication to thee in this house,
34 onda ti čuj to s neba, oprosti grijehe svome narodu izraelskom i dovedi ga natrag u zemlju koju si dao njihovim očevima.
then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again to the land which thou gave to their fathers.
35 Kad se zatvori nebo i ne padne kiša jer su se ogriješili o tebe, pa ti se pomole na ovome mjestu i proslave Ime tvoje i obrate se od svojega grijeha kad ih ti poniziš,
When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain because they have sinned against thee, if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin when thou afflict them,
36 tada ti čuj na nebu i oprosti grijeh svojim slugama i svojem izraelskom narodu, pokazujući im valjan put kojim će ići, i pusti kišu na zemlju koju si svojem narodu dao u baštinu.
then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and send rain upon thy land, which thou have given to thy people for an inheritance.
37 Kad u zemlji zavlada glad, kuga, snijet i rđa i kad navale skakavci, gusjenice, kad neprijatelj ovoga naroda pritisne koja od njegovih vrata, ili kad bude kakva druga nevolja ili boleština,
If there be famine in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blight, mildew, locust or caterpillar, if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities, whatever plague, whatever sickness there be,
38 ako koji čovjek, ili sav tvoj narod, Izrael, osjeti tjeskobu svoga srca pa upravi molitvu ili prošnju te raširi ruke prema ovom Hramu,
whatever prayer and supplication be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, who shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house,
39 ti čuj s neba, s mjesta gdje prebivaš, i oprosti i postupi; vrati svakome čovjeku prema putu njegovu, jer ti poznaješ srce njegovo - ti jedini poznaješ srce sviju -
then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and forgive, and do, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou know (for thou, even thou only, know the hearts of all the sons of men),
40 da te se uvijek boje sve dane dokle žive na zemlji što je ti dade našim očevima.
that they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gave to our fathers.
41 Pa i tuđinca, koji nije od tvojega naroda izraelskog, nego je stigao iz daleke zemlje radi Imena tvoga
Moreover concerning the foreigner who is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for thy name's sake
42 jer je čuo za veliko Ime tvoje, za tvoju snažnu ruku i za tvoju mišicu podignutu - ako dođe i pomoli se u ovom Hramu,
(for they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy mighty hand, and of thine outstretched arm), when he shall come and pray toward this house,
43 usliši ga s neba gdje prebivaš, usliši sve vapaje njegove da bi upoznali svi zemaljski narodi Ime tvoje i bojali se tebe kao narod tvoj Izrael i da znaju da je tvoje Ime zazvano nad ovaj Dom koji sam sagradio.
hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to thee for, that all the peoples of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as does thy people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.
44 Ako narod tvoj krene na neprijatelja putem kojim ga ti uputiš i pomoli se Jahvi, okrenut k ovom gradu što si ga izabrao i prema Domu koji sam podigao tvojem Imenu,
If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way thou shall send them, and they pray to Jehovah toward the city which thou have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name,
45 usliši mu s neba molitvu i prošnju i učini mu pravdu.
then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
46 Kad ti sagriješe, jer nema čovjeka koji ne griješi, a ti ih, rasrdiv se na njih, predaš neprijateljima da ih zarobe i odvedu kao roblje u daleku ili blizu zemlju,
If they sin against thee (for there is no man that sins not), and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, afar off or near,
47 pa ako se pokaju srcem u zemlji u koju budu dovedeni te se obrate i počnu te moliti za milost u zemlji svojih osvajača govoreći: 'Zgriješili smo, bili smo zli i naopaki',
yet if they shall rethink themselves in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to thee in the land of those who carried them captive, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have dealt wickedly,
48 i tako se obrate k tebi svim srcem i svom dušom u zemlji svoga ropstva u koju budu dovedeni kao roblje, i pomole se okrenuti k zemlji što je ti dade njihovim očevima, i prema gradu koji si izabrao, i prema Domu što sam ga podigao tvom Imenu,
if they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who carried them captive, and pray to thee toward their land, which thou gave to their fathers, the city which thou have chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name,
49 usliši s neba, gdje prebivaš, njihovu molbu i njihove prošnje,
then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling-place, and maintain their case,
50 učini im pravdu i oprosti svome narodu što je zgriješio protiv tebe, oprosti sve uvrede koje ti je nanio, učini da mu se smiluju osvajači i da budu milostivi prema njemu,
and forgive thy people who have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions by which they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them
51 jer su oni tvoj narod i baština tvoja, njih si izveo iz Egipta, iz užarenog kotla.
(for they are thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou brought forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron);
52 Neka oči tvoje budu otvorene na prošnju tvoga sluge i na prošnju naroda tvoga Izraela da čuješ sve njihove molbe što će ih tebi uputiti.
that thine eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and to the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken to them whenever they cry to thee.
53 Jer ti si ih odvojio od svih naroda na zemlji sebi za baštinu, kako si objavio po svome sluzi Mojsiju, kada si izveo oce naše iz Egipta, o Gospode, Jahve!”
For thou separated them from among all the peoples of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spoke by Moses thy servant when thou brought our fathers out of Egypt, O lord Jehovah.
54 Pošto je Salomon dovršio svu ovu molitvu i prošnju pred Jahvom, diže se s mjesta gdje je klečao, raširenih ruku prema nebu, pred žrtvenikom Jahvinim,
And it was so, that, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to Jehovah, he arose from before the altar of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth toward heaven.
55 pa istupi te blagoslovi sav zbor Izraelov govoreći jakim glasom:
And he stood, and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
56 “Blagoslovljen Jahve, koji je narodu svome Izraelu dao mir u svemu kako je obećao; nije propalo nijedno od njegovih lijepih obećanja koja je dao sluzi svome Mojsiju.
Blessed be Jehovah, who has given rest to his people Israel according to all that he promised. There has not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his servant.
57 Neka Jahve, Bog naš, bude s nama kao što je bio s ocima našim i neka nas ne napusti i ne odbaci.
Jehovah our God be with us as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us, nor forsake us,
58 Neka prikloni naša srca k sebi da bismo hodili svim njegovim putovima i držali njegove zapovijedi, zakone i uredbe koje je dao ocima našim.
that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.
59 Bile ove moje riječi, koje sam smjerno iznio pred Jahvu, danju i noću nazočne pred Jahvom, Bogom našim, eda bi dan za danom činio pravdu sluzi svomu i pravicu narodu svome Izraelu,
And let these my words, with which I have made supplication before Jehovah, be near to Jehovah our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel, as every day shall require,
60 ne bi li tako svi narodi zemlje spoznali da je Jahve jedini Bog i da nema drugoga.
that all the peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah, he is God; there is none else.
61 A vaše srce neka bude potpuno odano Jahvi, Bogu našemu, držeći se njegovih zakona i obdržavajući njegove zapovijedi kao danas!”
Let your heart therefore be perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
62 Kralj i sav Izrael s njim prinesu žrtvu Jahvi.
And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before Jehovah.
63 Kao žrtvu pričesnicu, koju je prikazao Jahvi, Salomon prinese dvadeset i dvije tisuće volova i stotinu i dvadeset tisuća ovaca; time kralj i svi Izraelci posvete Dom Jahvin.
And Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to Jehovah, twenty-two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah.
64 Toga dana posveti kralj središte predvorja, koje je ispred Doma Jahvina, jer ondje je prinio paljenice, prinosnice i pretiline pričesnica, jer je tučani žrtvenik pred Jahvom bio premalen da primi paljenice, prinosnice, pretiline pričesnica.
The same day the king hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah, for there he offered the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brazen altar that was before Jehovah was too little to receive the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.
65 Tu je svečanost u ono vrijeme Salomon slavio sedam dana, sa svim Izraelcima, zborom velikim od Ulaza u Hamat do Potoka Egipatskog, pred Jahvom, Bogom našim.
So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.
66 Zatim je osmoga dana otpustio ljude; oni su blagosivljali kralja i odlazili svojim kućama, veseli i zadovoljna srca zbog svega dobra što ga je Jahve učinio svome sluzi Davidu i narodu svome Izraelu.
On the eighth day he sent the people away. And they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that Jehovah had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people.
