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.
And it came to pass when Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord and his own house after twenty years, then king Solomon assembled all the elders of Israel in Sion, to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, this is Sion,
2 Svi se ljudi Izraelovi sabraše pred kraljem Salomonom na blagdan u mjesecu Etanimu (to je sedmi mjesec).
in the month of Athanin.
3 I kad su došle Izraelove starješine, svećenici ponesoše Kovčeg
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 the tabernacle of testimony, and the holy furniture that was in the tabernacle of testimony.
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 the king and all Israel [were occupied] before the ark, sacrificing sheep [and] oxen, without number.
6 Svećenici donesoše Kovčeg saveza Jahvina na njegovo mjesto, u Debir Doma, to jest u Svetinju nad svetinjama, pod krila kerubina.
And the priests bring in the ark into its place, into the oracle of the house, even into the holy of holies, under the wings of the cherubs.
7 Kerubini su, naime, imali raširena krila nad mjestom gdje stajaše Kovčeg i zaklanjahu odozgo Kovčeg i njegove motke.
For the cherubs spread out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubs covered the ark and its holy things 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 holy staves projected, and the ends of the holy staves appeared out of the holy places in front of the oracle, and were not seen without.
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 tables of stone, the tables of the covenant which Moses put [there] in Choreb, which [tables] the Lord made [as a covenant] with the children of Israel in their going forth from the land of Egypt.
10 A kad su svećenici izašli iz Svetišta, oblak ispuni Dom Jahvin,
And it came to pass when the priests departed out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house.
11 i svećenici ne mogoše od oblaka nastaviti službe: slava Jahvina ispuni Dom Božji!
And the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, because the glory of the Lord filled the house.
12 Tada reče Salomon: “Jahve odluči prebivati u tmastu oblaku,
13 a ja ti sagradih uzvišen Dom da u njemu prebivaš zauvijek.”
14 I, okrenuvši se, kralj blagoslovi sav izraelski zbor, a sav je izraelski zbor stajao.
And the king turned his face, and the king blessed all Israel, (and the whole 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] the Lord God of Israel to-day, who spoke by his mouth concerning David my father, and has fulfilled it with his hands, 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.'
From the day that I brought out my people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city in [any] one tribe of Israel to build a house, so that my name should be there: but I chose Jerusalem that my name should be there, and I chose David to be over my people Israel.
17 Otac mi David naumi podići Dom Imenu Jahve, Boga Izraelova,
And it was in the heart of my father to build a house to the name of the Lord God of Israel.
18 ali mu Jahve reče: 'Naumio si podići Dom mojem Imenu, i dobro učini,
And the Lord said to David my father, Forasmuch as it came into thine heart to build a house to my name, thou didst well that it came upon thine heart.
19 ali nećeš ti podići toga Doma, nego sin tvoj koji izađe iz tvoga krila, on će podići Dom mojem Imenu.'
Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house, but thy son that has proceeded out of thy bowels, he shall build the house to 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 the Lord has confirmed the word that he spoke, and I am risen up in the place of my father David, and I have sat down on the throne of Israel, as the Lord spoke, and I have built the house to the name of the Lord 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 I have set there a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord, which the Lord 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 up in front of the altar before all the congregation of Israel; and he spread out 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, Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heaven above and on the earth beneath, keeping covenant and mercy with thy servant who walks before thee with all his 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.
which thou hast kept toward thy servant David my father: for thou hast spoken by thy mouth and thou hast fulfilled it with thine hands, as [at] 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.'
And now, O Lord God of Israel, keep for thy servant David my father, [the promises] which thou hast spoken to him, saying, There shall not be taken from thee a man sitting before me on the throne of Israel, provided only thy children shall take heed to their ways, to walk before me as thou hast walked before me.
26 Sada, dakle, Jahve, Bože Izraelov, neka se ispuni tvoje obećanje koje si dao svome sluzi Davidu, mome ocu!
And now, O Lord God of Israel, let, I pray thee, thy word to David my father be confirmed.
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 with men upon the earth? if the heaven and heaven of heavens will not suffice thee, how much less even this house which I have built to thy name?
28 Pomno počuj molitvu i vapaj svoga sluge, Jahve, Bože moj, te usliši vapaj i molitvu što je tvoj sluga tebi upućuje!
Yet, O Lord God of Israel, thou shalt look upon my petition, to hear the prayer which thy servant prays to thee in thy presence 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 day and night, even toward the place which thou saidst, My name shall be there, to hear the prayer which thy servant prays at this place day and night.
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 thou shalt hearken to the prayer of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall pray toward this place; and thou shalt hear in thy dwelling-place in heaven, and thou shalt do and be gracious.
31 Ako tko zgriješi protiv bližnjega i naredi mu se da se zakune, a zakletva dođe pred tvoj žrtvenik u ovom Domu,
Whatsoever trespasses any [one] shall commit against his neighbour, —and if he shall take upon him an oath so that he should swear, and he shall come and make confession 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 shalt thou hear from heaven, and do, and thou shalt judge thy people Israel, that the wicked should be condemned, to recompense his way upon his head; and to justify the righteous, to give to 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 falls before enemies, because they shall sin against thee, and they shall return and confess to thy name, and they shall pray and supplicate 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 shalt thou hear from heaven, and be gracious to the sins of thy people Israel, and thou shalt restore them to the land which thou gavest 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 the heaven is restrained, and there is no rain, because they shall sin against thee, and the shall pray toward this place, and they shall make confession to thy name, and shall turn from their sins when thou shalt have humbled 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 thou shalt hear from heaven, and be merciful to the sins of thy servant and of thy people Israel; for thou shalt shew them the good way to walk in it, and thou shalt give rain upon the earth which thou hast 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 should be famine, if there should be death, because there should be blasting, locust, or if there be mildew, and if their enemy oppress them in [any] one of their cities, [with regard to] every calamity, every trouble,
38 ako koji čovjek, ili sav tvoj narod, Izrael, osjeti tjeskobu svoga srca pa upravi molitvu ili prošnju te raširi ruke prema ovom Hramu,
every prayer, every supplication whatever shall be made by any man, as they shall know each the plague of his heart, and shall spread abroad his hands to 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 shalt thou hearken from heaven, out of thine established dwelling-place, and shalt be merciful, and shalt do, and recompense to [every] man according to his ways, as thou shalt know his heart, for thou alone knowest the heart of all the children 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 upon the land, which thou hast given to our fathers.
41 Pa i tuđinca, koji nije od tvojega naroda izraelskog, nego je stigao iz daleke zemlje radi Imena tvoga
And for the stranger who is not of thy people,
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,
when they shall come and pray toward this place,
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.
then shalt thou hear [them] from heaven, out of thine established dwelling-place, and thou shalt do according to all that the stranger shall call upon thee for, that all the nations may know thy name, and fear thee, as [do] thy people Israel, and may know that thy name has been called on this house which I have builded.
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 it be] that thy people shall go forth to war against their enemies in the way by which thou shalt turn them, and pray in the name of the Lord toward the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built to thy name,
45 usliši mu s neba molitvu i prošnju i učini mu pravdu.
then shalt thou hear from heaven their supplication and their prayer, and shalt execute judgment for them.
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 it be] that they shall sin against thee, (for there is not a man who will not sin, ) and thou shalt bring them and deliver them up before their enemies, and they that take [them] captive shall carry [them] to a land far 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',
and they shall turn their hearts in the land whither they have been carried captives, and turn in the land of their sojourning, and supplicate thee, saying, We have sinned, we have done unjustly, we have transgressed,
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,
and they shall turn to thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies whither thou hast carried them captives, and shall pray to thee toward their land which thou hast given to their fathers, and the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built to thy name:
49 usliši s neba, gdje prebivaš, njihovu molbu i njihove prošnje,
then shalt thou hear from heaven thine established dwelling-place,
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 thou shalt be merciful to their unrighteousness wherein they have trespassed against thee, and according to all their transgressions wherewith they have transgressed against thee, and thou shalt cause them to be pitied before them that carried them captives, and they shall 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, whom thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, out of 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.
And let thine eyes and thine ears be opened to the supplication of thy servant, and to the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken to them in all things for which they shall call upon 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!”
Because thou hast set them apart for an inheritance to thyself out of all the nations of the earth, as thou spokest by the hand of thy servant Moses, when thou broughtest our fathers out of the land of Egypt, O Lord God.
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 came to pass when Solomon had finished praying to the Lord all this prayer and supplication, that he rose up from before the altar of the Lord, [after] having knelt upon his knees, and his hands [were] spread out towards heaven.
55 pa istupi te blagoslovi sav zbor Izraelov govoreći jakim glasom:
And he stood, and blessed all the congregation 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] the Lord this day, who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he said: there has not failed one word among all his good words which he spoke by the hand of his servant Moses.
57 Neka Jahve, Bog naš, bude s nama kao što je bio s ocima našim i neka nas ne napusti i ne odbaci.
May the Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers; let him not desert us nor turn from 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 turn our hearts toward him to walk in all his ways, and to keep all his commandments, 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 words, which I have prayed before the Lord our God, [be] near to the Lord our God day and night, to maintain the cause of thy servant, and the cause of thy people Israel for ever.
60 ne bi li tako svi narodi zemlje spoznali da je Jahve jedini Bog i da nema drugoga.
that all the nations of the earth may know that the Lord God, he [is] God, and there is none beside.
61 A vaše srce neka bude potpuno odano Jahvi, Bogu našemu, držeći se njegovih zakona i obdržavajući njegove zapovijedi kao danas!”
And let our hearts be perfect toward the Lord our God, to walk also holily in his ordinances, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
62 Kralj i sav Izrael s njim prinesu žrtvu Jahvi.
And the king and all the children of Israel offered sacrifice before the Lord.
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 king Solomon offered for the sacrifices of peace-offering which he sacrificed to the Lord, two and twenty thousand oxen, and hundred and twenty thousand sheep: and the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the Lord.
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.
In that day the king consecrated the middle of the court in the front of the house of the Lord; for there he offered the whole-burnt-offering, and the sacrifices, and the fat of the peace-offerings, because the brazen altar which was before the Lord [was too] little to bear the whole-burnt-offering and the sacrifices of 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.
And Solomon kept the feast in that day, and all Israel with him, even a great assembly from the entering in of Hemath to the river of Egypt, before the Lord our God in the house which he built, eating and drinking, and rejoicing before the Lord our God seven 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.
And on the eighth day he sent away the people: and they blessed the king, and each departed to his tabernacle rejoicing, and [their] heart [was] glad because of the good things which the Lord had done to his servant David, and to Israel his people.
