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 chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD 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 the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that [were] in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring.
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 told 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 the ark of the covenant of the LORD 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] two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staffs thereof above.
8 [8a] Motke su bile tako dugačke da su im se krajevi vidjeli iz Svetišta nasuprot Debiru, ali se nisu vidjele izvana.
And they drew out the staffs, that the ends of the staffs were seen out in the holy [place] before the oracle, and they were not seen without: 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 save the two tables of stone, which Moses deposited there at Horeb, when the LORD made [a covenant] with the children 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 had come out of the holy [place], that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,
11 i svećenici ne mogoše od oblaka nastaviti službe: slava Jahvina ispuni Dom Božji!
So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.
12 Tada reče Salomon: “Jahve odluči prebivati u tmastu oblaku,
Then spoke Solomon, The LORD 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 to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.
14 I, okrenuvši se, kralj blagoslovi sav izraelski zbor, a sav je izraelski zbor stajao.
And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel were standing.
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, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and hath 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 from Egypt, I have chosen no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be therein; but 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 David my father to build a house for 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, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house to my name, thou didst 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 shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, 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 hath performed his word that he spoke, and I have risen in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built a house for 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 he made with our fathers, when he brought them from 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 the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands towards 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, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that 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 hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him: thou didst speak also with thy mouth, and hast 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.'
Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; provided thy children take heed to their way, that they 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 God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou didst speak 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, the heaven and 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 LORD my God, to hearken to the cry and to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth 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 thy eyes may be open towards this house night and day, [even] towards the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken to the prayer which thy servant shall make towards 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 towards this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place: and when thou hearest, forgive.
31 Ako tko zgriješi protiv bližnjega i naredi mu se da se zakune, a zakletva dođe pred tvoj žrtvenik u ovom Domu,
If any man shall trespass against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thy 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 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 shall be smitten before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall 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 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 heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray towards this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest 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, that thou mayest teach them the good way in which they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, 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 shall be in the land famine, if there shall be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, [or] if there shall be caterpillar; if their enemy shall besiege them in the land of their cities, whatever plague, whatever sickness [there shall 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 shall 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 towards 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 give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, [even] thou only, knowest the hearts 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 in the land which thou gavest to our fathers.
41 Pa i tuđinca, koji nije od tvojega naroda izraelskog, nego je stigao iz daleke zemlje radi Imena tvoga
Moreover, concerning a stranger, that [is] not of thy people Israel, but cometh 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 strong hand, and of thy out-stretched arm; ) when he shall come and pray towards 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 stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as [do] 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, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray to the LORD towards the city which thou hast chosen, and [towards] the house that 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 shall sin against thee, (for [there is] no man that sinneth not, ) and thou shalt be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives to the land of the enemy, 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',
[Yet] if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent and make supplication to thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;
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 [so] return to thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, who led them away captive, and pray to thee towards their land, which thou gavest to their fathers, the city which thou hast 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 cause,
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 that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions in which they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them 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 thy inheritance, which thou broughtest 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 thy eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and to the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken to them in all their supplications 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 didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, [to be] thy inheritance, as thou didst speak by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out 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 was [so], that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees, with his hands spread up to 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, that hath given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of 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.
The LORD 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 judgments, 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 the LORD, be nigh to the LORD our God day and night, that he may maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require:
60 ne bi li tako svi narodi zemlje spoznali da je Jahve jedini Bog i da nema drugoga.
That all the people of the earth may know, that the LORD [is] God, [and that 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 the LORD 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 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 Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he offered to the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So 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.
The same day did the king consecrate the middle of the court that [was] before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt-offerings, and meat-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings: because the brazen altar that [was] before the LORD [was] too little to receive the burnt-offerings, and meat-offerings, 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.
And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entrance into Hamath to the river of Egypt, before the LORD 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 the LORD had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.
