2 Ljetopisa 8
1 A kad je prošlo dvadeset godina, za koliko je vremena Salomon podigao Jahvin Dom i svoj dvor,
Now at the end of twenty years, in which time Solomon had put up the house of the Lord and a house for himself,
2 posagradio je Salomon gradove, koje je dao Salomonu Hiram, i naselio ondje Izraelove sinove.
He took in hand the building up of the towns which Huram had given him, causing the children of Israel to make living-places for themselves there.
3 Potom otiđe Salomon na Sopski Hamat i osvoji ga.
And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and overcame it.
4 Sagradi Tadmor u pustinji i svakojaka mjesta za skladišta u Hamatu.
And he put up the buildings of Tadmor in the waste land, and of all the store-towns in Hamath;
5 Sagradi i Gornji Bet Horon i Donji Bet Horon, tvrde gradove sa zidovima, vratima i prijevornicama;
And of Beth-horon the higher and the lower, walled towns with walls and doorways and locks;
6 i Baalat, i sve gradove u kojima je imao skladišta, sve gradove za bojna kola i gradove za konjanike i što je god Salomon zaželio da gradi u Jeruzalemu i na Libanonu i po svoj zemlji svojega kraljevstva.
And of Baalath, and all the store-towns which Solomon had, and the towns where he kept his war-carriages and his horse men, and everything which it was his pleasure to put up in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land under his rule.
7 Svim preostalim Hetitima, Amorejcima, Perižanima, Hivijcima i Jebusejcima, koji nisu bili Izraelci,
As for all the rest of the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel:
8 sinovima njihovim koji ostadoše iza njih u zemlji i koje Izraelci nisu zatrli - Salomon nametnu tlaku do današnjega dana.
Their men who were still living in the land, and whom the children of Israel had not put an end to, these Solomon put to forced work, as is done to this day;
9 Sinove Izraelove nije Salomon pretvarao u robove za posao, nego su bili vojnici, zapovjednici njegovih štitonoša i zapovjednici bojnih kola i konjice.
But Solomon did not make use of the children of Israel as servants for his work; they were men of war, his chiefs and his captains, and captains of his war-carriages and his horsemen.
10 Bili su poglavari nad upravnicima, kojih je kralj Salomon imao dvjesta i pedeset, i upravljali su narodom.
Now these were the chief men in authority whom King Solomon had: two hundred and fifty of them, in authority over the people.
11 Salomon preseli i faraonovu kćer iz Davidova grada u kuću koju joj bijaše sagradio, jer je mislio: “Neće moja žena živjeti u dvoru izraelskoga kralja Davida, jer je svet otkako je u nj došao Kovčeg Jahvin.”
Then Solomon made Pharaoh's daughter come up from the town of David to the house which he had made for her; for he said, I will not have my wife living in the house of David, king of Israel, because those places where the ark of the Lord has come are holy.
12 Tada Salomon poče prinositi paljenice Jahvi na Jahvinu žrtveniku što ga bijaše sagradio pred trijemom,
Then Solomon made burned offerings to the Lord on the altar of the Lord which he had put up in front of the covered way,
13 i to koliko je trebalo iz dana u dan da prinese po Mojsijevoj zapovijedi, u subote, i na mlađake, i na blagdane tri puta u godini, na Blagdan beskvasnih kruhova, i na Blagdan sedmica, i na Blagdan sjenica.
Offering every day what had been ordered by Moses, on the Sabbaths and at the new moon and at the regular feasts three times a year, that is at the feast of unleavened bread, the feast of weeks, and the feast of tents.
14 Postavio je, po uredbi oca Davida, svećeničke redove po njihovoj službi i levitske po njihovim dužnostima da pjevaju hvale i da služe pred svećenicima, koliko treba iz dana u dan, i vratare po njihovim redovima na svakim vratima, jer je takva bila zapovijed Božjega čovjeka Davida.
And he gave the divisions of the priests their places for their work, as ordered by his father David, and to the Levites he gave their work of praise and waiting on the priests, to do what was needed day by day; and he gave the door-keepers their places in turn at every door; for so David, the man of God, had given orders.
15 Nisu odstupili od kraljeve zapovijedi za svećenike i levite ni u čemu, ni za riznice.
All the orders given by the king to the priests and Levites, in connection with any business or stores, were done with care.
16 Tako se svršio sav Salomonov posao od dana kad je bio zasnovan Dom Jahvin pa dokle ga god nije dovršio. Tako bijaše dovršen Dom Jahvin.
And all the work of Solomon was complete, from the day when he put the base of the Lord's house in position, till Solomon had come to the end of building the Lord's house.
17 Tada je Salomon otišao u Esjon-Geber i u Elat na morskoj obali u zemlji edomskoj.
Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth by the sea in the land of Edom.
18 A Hiram mu je poslao po slugama lađe i mornare vične moru te su otišli sa Salomonovim slugama u Ofir; uzeše odande četiri stotine i pedeset talenata zlata i donesoše ih kralju Salomonu.
And Huram sent him, by his servants, ships and experienced seamen, who went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir and came back with four hundred and fifty talents of gold, which they took to King Solomon.
