2 Chronicles 6
1 Then Solomon declared: “The LORD has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud;
Tada reče Salomon: “Jahve odluči prebivati u tmastu oblaku,
2 and I have built You an exalted house, a place for You to dwell forever.”
a ja ti sagradih uzvišen Dom da u njemu prebivaš zauvijek.”
3 And as the whole assembly of Israel stood there, the king turned around and blessed them all
I, okrenuvši se, kralj blagoslovi sav izraelski zbor, a sav je izraelski zbor stajao.
4 and said: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has fulfilled with His own hand what He spoke with His mouth to my father David, saying,
Reče on: “Neka je blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, koji svojom rukom ispuni obećanje što ga na svoja usta dade ocu mome Davidu, rekavši:
5 ‘Since the day I brought My people out of the land of Egypt, I have not chosen a city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house so that My Name would be there, nor have I chosen anyone to be ruler over My people Israel.
'Od dana kad izvedoh svoj narod iz egipatske zemlje nisam izabrao grada ni iz kojeg Izraelova plemena da se u njemu sagradi Dom gdje bi prebivalo moje Ime, niti sam izabrao ikoga da vlada nad mojim narodom izraelskim.
6 But now I have chosen Jerusalem for My Name to be there, and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’
Ali sam izabrao Jeruzalem da u njemu obitava moje Ime i odabrao Davida da zapovijeda mojem narodu izraelskom.'
7 Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Otac mi David naumi podići Dom Imenu Jahve, Boga Izraelova,
8 But the LORD said to my father David, ‘Since it was in your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well to have this in your heart.
ali mu Jahve reče: 'Naumio si podići Dom Imenu mojem, i dobro učini,
9 Nevertheless, you are not the one to build it; but your son, your own offspring, will build the house for My Name.’
ali nećeš ti podići toga Doma, nego tvoj sin koji izađe iz tvoga krila; on će podići Dom Imenu mojem.'
10 Now the LORD has fulfilled the word that He spoke. I have succeeded my father David, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised. I have built the house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Jahve ispuni obećanje svoje: naslijedio sam oca Davida i sjeo na prijestolje Izraelovo, kako obeća Jahve, podigao Dom Imenu Jahve, Boga Izraelova,
11 And there I have provided a place for the ark, which contains the covenant of the LORD that He made with the children of Israel.”
i namjestio Kovčeg u kojem je Savez što ga Jahve sklopi sa sinovima Izraelovim.”
12 Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in front of the whole assembly of Israel and spread out his hands.
Tada Salomon stupi, u nazočnosti svega zbora Izraelova, pred žrtvenik Jahvin i raširi ruke.
13 Now Solomon had made a bronze platform five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had placed it in the middle of the courtyard. He stood on it, knelt down before the whole assembly of Israel, spread out his hands toward heaven,
Salomon je, naime, bio napravio tučano podnožje, dugo pet lakata i široko pet lakata, a visoko tri lakta, i stavio ga nasred predvorja; stavši na nj, kleknuo je pred svim zborom Izraelovim i, raširivši ruke k nebu,
14 and said: “O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven or on earth, keeping Your covenant of loving devotion with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts.
rekao: “Jahve, Bože Izraelov! Nijedan ti bog nije sličan ni na nebesima ni na zemlji, tebi koji držiš Savez i ljubav svojim slugama što kroče pred tobom sa svim svojim srcem.
15 You have kept Your promise to Your servant, my father David. What You spoke with Your mouth You have fulfilled with Your hand this day.
Sluzi svome Davidu, mojem ocu, ispunio si što si mu obećao. Što si obećao na svoja usta, ispunio si svojom rukom upravo danas.
16 Therefore now, O LORD, God of Israel, keep for Your servant, my father David, what You promised when You said: ‘You will never fail to have a man to sit before Me on the throne of Israel, if only your descendants guard their way to walk in My law as you have walked before Me.’
Jahve, Bože Izraelov, sada ispuni svome sluzi, ocu mome Davidu, što si mu 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.'
17 And now, O LORD, God of Israel, please confirm what You promised to Your servant David.
Jahve, Bože Izraelov, neka se sada dakle ispuni obećanje koje si dao svome sluzi Davidu!
18 But will God indeed dwell with man upon the earth? Even heaven, the highest heaven, cannot contain You, much less this temple I have built.
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!
19 Yet regard the prayer and plea of Your servant, O LORD my God, so that You may hear the cry and the prayer that Your servant is praying before You.
Pomno počuj molitvu i vapaj svoga sluge, Jahve, Bože moj, te usliši prošnju i molitvu što je tvoj sluga k tebi upućuje!
20 May Your eyes be open toward this temple day and night, toward the place where You said You would put Your Name, so that You may hear the prayer that Your servant prays toward this place.
Neka tvoje oči obdan i obnoć budu otvorene nad ovim Domom, nad ovim mjestom za koje reče da ćeš u nj smjestiti svoje Ime. Usliši molitvu koju će sluga tvoj izmoliti na ovome mjestu.
21 Hear the plea of Your servant and of Your people Israel when they pray toward this place. May You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place. May You hear and forgive.
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!
22 When a man sins against his neighbor and is required to take an oath, and he comes to take an oath before Your altar in this temple,
Ako tko zgriješi protiv bližnjega i bude mu naređeno da se zakune i zakletva dođe pred tvoj žrtvenik u ovom Domu,
23 then may You hear from heaven and act. May You judge Your servants, condemning the wicked man by bringing down on his own head what he has done, and justifying the righteous man by rewarding him according to his righteousness.
ti je čuj s neba, postupaj i sudi svojim slugama, osudi krivca okrećući njegova nedjela na njegovu glavu, a nevina oslobodi postupajući s njime po nevinosti njegovoj.
24 When Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy because they have sinned against You, and they return to You and confess Your name, praying and pleading before You in this temple,
Ako narod tvoj poraze neprijatelji jer se ogriješio o tebe, ali se ipak k tebi obrati i proslavi Ime tvoje i u ovom se Domu pomoli i zavapije k tebi,
25 then may You hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your people Israel. May You restore them to the land You gave to them and their fathers.
onda ti čuj to s neba, oprosti grijehe svojem narodu izraelskom i dovedi ga natrag u zemlju koju si dao njima i njihovim očevima.
26 When the skies are shut and there is no rain because Your people have sinned against You, and they pray toward this place and confess Your name, and they turn from their sins because You have afflicted them,
Ako se zatvori nebo i ne padne kiša jer su se ogriješili o tebe, pa ti se pomole na ovom mjestu i proslave Ime tvoje i obrate se od svojega grijeha kad ih ti poniziš,
27 then may You hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, so that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk. May You send rain on the land that You gave Your people as an inheritance.
tada čuj s neba i oprosti grijeh svojim slugama i svojem izraelskom narodu, pokazujući mu valjan put kojim će ići, i pusti kišu na zemlju koju si narodu svojem dao u baštinu.
28 When famine or plague comes upon the land, or blight or mildew or locusts or grasshoppers, or when their enemies besiege them in their cities, whatever plague or sickness may come,
Kad u zemlji zavlada glad, kuga, snijet i rđa, kad navale skakavci i gusjenice, kad neprijatelj ovoga naroda pritisne koja od njegovih vrata ili kad udari kakva druga nevolja ili boleština,
29 then may whatever prayer or petition Your people Israel make—each knowing his own afflictions and spreading out his hands toward this temple—
počuj svaku molitvu, svaki vapaj od kojega god čovjeka ili od cijeloga tvoga naroda izraelskog; ako svaki osjeti bol u srcu i raširi ruke k ovom Domu,
30 be heard by You from heaven, Your dwelling place. And may You forgive and repay each man according to all his ways, since You know his heart—for You alone know the hearts of men—
usliši im molitvu i vapaj njihov u nebu gdje boraviš i oprosti i daj svakomu po njegovim putovima, jer ti poznaješ srce njegovo; jer ti jedini prozireš srca ljudi
31 so that they may fear You and walk in Your ways all the days they live in the land that You gave to our fathers.
da te se boje idući tvojim putovima dokle god žive na zemlji što je ti dade našim očevima.
32 And as for the foreigner who is not of Your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of Your great name and Your mighty hand and outstretched arm—when he comes and prays toward this temple,
Pa i tuđinca, koji nije od tvojega naroda izraelskog, nego je stigao iz daleke zemlje radi veličine tvoga Imena i radi tvoje snažne ruke i podignute mišice, ako dođe i pomoli se u ovom Domu,
33 then may You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You. Then all the peoples of the earth will know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and they will know that this house I have built is called by Your Name.
usliši s neba, gdje prebivaš, usliši sve vapaje njegove da bi svi zemaljski narodi upoznali Ime tvoje i bojali te se kao narod tvoj izraelski i da znaju da je tvoje Ime prizvano nad ovaj Dom koji sam sagradio.
34 When Your people go to war against their enemies, wherever You send them, and when they pray to You in the direction of the city You have chosen and the house I have built for Your Name,
Kad narod tvoj krene na neprijatelja putem kojim ga ti uputiš i pomoli se tebi, okrenut gradu što si ga izabrao i prema Domu koji sam podigao tvome Imenu,
35 then may You hear from heaven their prayer and their plea, and may You uphold their cause.
usliši mu s neba molitvu i prošnju i učini mu pravdu.
36 When they sin against You—for there is no one who does not sin—and You become angry with them and deliver them to an enemy who takes them as captives to a land far or near,
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,
37 and when they come to their senses in the land to which they were taken, and they repent and plead with You in the land of their captors, saying, ‘We have sinned and done wrong; we have acted wickedly,’
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'
38 and when they return to You with all their heart and soul in the land of the enemies who took them captive, and when they pray in the direction of the land that You gave to their fathers, the city You have chosen, and the house I have built for Your Name,
i tako se obrate 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 odabrao i prema Domu što sam ga podigao tvom Imenu,
39 then may You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, their prayer and petition, and may You uphold their cause. May You forgive Your people who sinned against You.
usliši s neba, gdje prebivaš, njihovu molbu i njihove prošnje, učini im pravdu i oprosti svome narodu što ti je zgriješio.
40 Now, my God, may Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place.
Sada, Bože moj, neka tvoje oči budu otvorene i tvoje uši pažljive na molitve na ovom mjestu!
41 Now therefore, arise, O LORD God, and enter Your resting place, You and the ark of Your might. May Your priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and may Your godly ones rejoice in goodness.
Pa sada ustani, o Bože Jahve, pođi k svojem počivalištu, ti i Kovčeg tvoje snage; neka se obuku u spasenje tvoji svećenici, o Bože Jahve, i vjerni tvoji neka se raduju u sreći!
42 O LORD God, do not reject Your anointed one. Remember Your loving devotion to Your servant David.”
Bože Jahve, ne odvrati lica od svog pomazanika, spomeni se milostÄi što ih dade sluzi svome Davidu!”
