2 Ljetopisa 8
1 A kad je prošlo dvadeset godina, za koliko je vremena Salomon podigao Jahvin Dom i svoj dvor,
At the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the LORD’s house and his own house,
2 posagradio je Salomon gradove, koje je dao Salomonu Hiram, i naselio ondje Izraelove sinove.
Solomon built the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
3 Potom otiđe Salomon na Sopski Hamat i osvoji ga.
Solomon went to Hamath Zobah, and prevailed against it.
4 Sagradi Tadmor u pustinji i svakojaka mjesta za skladišta u Hamatu.
He built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the storage cities, which he built in Hamath.
5 Sagradi i Gornji Bet Horon i Donji Bet Horon, tvrde gradove sa zidovima, vratima i prijevornicama;
Also he built Beth Horon the upper and Beth Horon the lower, fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars;
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 Baalath, and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
7 Svim preostalim Hetitima, Amorejcima, Perižanima, Hivijcima i Jebusejcima, koji nisu bili Izraelci,
As for all the people who were left of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, 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.
of their children who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel didn’t consume—of them Solomon conscripted forced labor 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 of the children of Israel, Solomon made no servants for his work, but they were men of war, chief of his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.
10 Bili su poglavari nad upravnicima, kojih je kralj Salomon imao dvjesta i pedeset, i upravljali su narodom.
These were the chief officers of King Solomon, even two-hundred fifty, who ruled 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.”
Solomon brought up Pharaoh’s daughter out of David’s city to the house that he had built for her; for he said, “My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places where the LORD’s ark has come are holy.”
12 Tada Salomon poče prinositi paljenice Jahvi na Jahvinu žrtveniku što ga bijaše sagradio pred trijemom,
Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the LORD’s altar which he had built before the porch,
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.
even as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, three times per year, during the feast of unleavened bread, during the feast of weeks, and during the feast of booths.
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.
He appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the divisions of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their offices, to praise and to minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required, the doorkeepers also by their divisions at every gate, for David the man of God had so commanded.
15 Nisu odstupili od kraljeve zapovijedi za svećenike i levite ni u čemu, ni za riznice.
They didn’t depart from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter or concerning the treasures.
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.
Now all the work of Solomon was accomplished from the day of the foundation of the LORD’s house until it was finished. So the LORD’s house was completed.
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, on the seashore 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.
Huram sent him ships and servants who had knowledge of the sea by the hands of his servants; and they came with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and brought from there four hundred fifty talents of gold, and brought them to King Solomon.
