2 Ljetopisa 2
1 Salomon naumi sagraditi Dom - jedan Imenu Jahvinu, a drugi sebi za kraljevski dvorac.
Now Solomon purposed to build a house for the name of the LORD, and a house for his kingdom.
2 Odbroji sedamdeset tisuća nosača, osamdeset tisuća kamenolomaca u gori i tri tisuće i šest stotina poslovođa.
And Solomon counted out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand men that were hewers in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.
3 Tada posla ovu poruku Hiramu, tirskomu kralju: “Kao što si mome ocu Davidu slao cedrovine da gradi dvor gdje će živjeti, tako učini i meni.
And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying: 'As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him a house to dwell therein, even so deal with me.
4 Kanim podići Dom Imenu Jahve, svojega Boga, i posvetiti mu ga da se diže pred njim miomirisni kad, da se uvijek postavljaju kruhovi, da se prinose paljenice jutrom i večerom, subotom, na dane mlađaka i na blagdane Jahve, Boga našega; i tako da zauvijek ostane u Izraelu.
Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to Him, and to burn before Him incense of sweet spices, and for the continual showbread, and for the burnt-offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the appointed seasons of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.
5 Dom koji gradim bit će velik, jer je naš Bog najveći među svim bozima.
And the house which I build is great; for great is our God above all gods.
6 TÓa tko bi imao dovoljno snage da njemu sazda Dom kad ga ni nebesa, ni nebesa nad nebesima ne mogu obuhvatiti? I tko sam ja da mu zidam Dom, osim zato da mu se kad diže pred lice?
But who is able to build Him a house, seeing the heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain Him? who am I then, that I should build Him a house, save only to offer before Him?
7 Pošalji mi čovjeka vična obradi zlata, srebra, tuča, željeza, grimiza, karmezina i ljubičastog baršuna, i vična umjetnosti rezbarstva: radit će s rukotvorcima kod mene u Judi i u Jeruzalemu, s onima što mi ih ostavi moj otac David.
Now therefore send me a man skilful to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that hath skill to grave all manner of gravings, to be with the skilful men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.
8 Pošalji mi iz Libanona cedrovine, čempresovine i sandalovine, jer znam da tvoje sluge umiju sjeći libanonska stabla. Moje će sluge raditi s tvojima.
Send me also cedar-trees, cypress-trees, and sandal-wood, out of Lebanon; for I know that thy servants have skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and, behold, my servants shall be with thy servants,
9 Morat će mi pripraviti mnogo drva, jer će kuća što je mislim graditi biti velika i veličanstvena.
even to prepare me timber in abundance; for the house which I am about to build shall be great and wonderful.
10 Drvosječama što će obarati stabla dajem dvadeset tisuća kora pšenice, dvadeset tisuća kora ječma, dvadeset tisuća bata vina i dvadeset tisuća bata ulja za izdržavanje tvojih slugu.”
And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.'
11 Hiram, tirski kralj, odgovori pismom što ga posla Salomonu: “Zato što voli svoj narod, Jahve te zakraljio nad njim.”
Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon: 'Because the LORD loveth His people, He hath made thee king over them.'
12 Dometnu još i ovo: “Neka je blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, koji je stvorio nebesa i zemlju. On je kralju Davidu dao mudra, pametna i umna sina koji će jedan dom graditi Jahvi, a drugi sebi da iz njega kraljuje.
Huram said moreover: 'Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with discretion and understanding, that should build a house for the LORD, and a house for his kingdom.
13 Stoga ti šaljem čovjeka mudra, vješta i razumna, Hurama Abija,
And now I have sent a skilful man, endued with understanding, even Huram my master craftsman,
14 sina jedne Danovke i oca Tirca. Umije obrađivati zlato, srebro, tuč, željezo, kamen, drvo, grimiz, ljubičasti baršun, bÓez i karmezin, umije rezbariti svakovrsne rezbarije i zamisliti svako djelo koje mu se povjeri. On će raditi s tvojim umjetnicima i umjetnicima moga gospodara Davida, tvoga oca.
the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to devise any device; to do whatever may be set before him, with thy skilful men, and with the skilful men of my lord David thy father.
15 Neka, dakle, sada moj gospodar svojim slugama pošalje pšenice, ječma, ulja i vina kako je obećao.
Now therefore the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants;
16 A mi ćemo nasjeći stabala s Libanona koliko ti god treba i dovest ćemo ti ih na splavima morem u Jafu, a ti ih prevezi gore u Jeruzalem.”
and we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need; and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa; and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem.'
17 Salomon pobroji sve strance koji se zatekoše u Izraelovoj zemlji poslije popisa što ga bijaše proveo njegov otac David i nađe ih sto pedeset tri tisuće i šest stotina.
And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were found a hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred.
18 Od njih odredi sedamdeset tisuća nosača, osamdeset tisuća tesara u planini, tri tisuće i šest stotina ljudi da upravljaju radom naroda.
And he set threescore and ten thousand of them to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to be hewers in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people at work.
