< 2 Chronicles 7 >
1 When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.
Torej ko je Salomon molitvi naredil konec, je z neba prišel ogenj in použil žgalno daritev in klavne daritve in Gospodova slava je napolnila hišo.
2 The priests were unable to enter the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled it.
Duhovniki niso mogli vstopiti v Gospodovo hišo, ker je Gospodova slava napolnila Gospodovo hišo.
3 When all the Israelites saw the fire coming down and the glory of the LORD above the temple, they bowed down on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave thanks to the LORD: “For He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.”
Ko so vsi Izraelovi otroci videli, kako je ogenj prišel dol in Gospodova slava na hišo, so se s svojimi obrazi priklonili do tal na tlak in oboževali ter hvalili Gospoda, rekoč: »Ker je dober, kajti njegovo usmiljenje traja večno.«
4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.
Potem so kralj in vse ljudstvo darovali klavne daritve pred Gospodom.
5 And King Solomon offered a sacrifice of 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
Kralj Salomon je daroval klavno daritev dvaindvajsetih tisočev volov in sto dvanajst tisočev ovc. Tako sta kralj in vse ljudstvo posvetila Božjo hišo.
6 The priests stood at their posts, as did the Levites with the musical instruments of the LORD, which King David had made for giving thanks to the LORD and with which David had offered praise, saying, “For His loving devotion endures forever.” Across from the Levites, the priests sounded trumpets, and all the Israelites were standing.
Duhovniki so čakali na svoje službe. Tudi Lévijevci z Gospodovimi glasbenimi instrumenti. Izdelal jih je kralj David, da hvali Gospoda, kajti njegovo usmiljenje traja večno. Ko je David hvalil ob njihovem služenju in so duhovniki pred njimi trobili s trobentami, je ves Izrael stal.
7 Then Solomon consecrated the middle of the courtyard in front of the house of the LORD, and there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, since the bronze altar he had made could not contain all these offerings.
Poleg tega je Salomon posvetil sredino dvora, ki je bil pred Gospodovo hišo, kajti tam je daroval žgalne daritve in tolščo mirovnih daritev, ker bronast oltar, ki ga je Salomon naredil, ni zmogel sprejeti žgalnih daritev, jedilnih daritev in tolšče.
8 So at that time Solomon and all Israel with him—a very great assembly of people from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of Egypt—kept the feast for seven days.
Prav tako je ob tem času Salomon praznik praznoval sedem dni in ves Izrael z njim, zelo velik shod, od vstopa v Hamát do egiptovske reke.
9 On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, for the dedication of the altar had lasted seven days, and the feast seven days more.
Na osmi dan so naredili slovesen zbor, kajti sedem dni so praznovali posvetitev oltarja in sedem dni so praznovali.
10 On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, Solomon sent the people away to their homes, joyful and glad of heart for the good things that the LORD had done for David, for Solomon, and for His people Israel.
Na triindvajseti dan sedmega meseca je ljudstvo poslal proč, v njihove šotore, vesele in razigrane v srcu, zaradi dobrote, ki jo je Gospod pokazal Davidu, Salomonu in njegovemu ljudstvu Izraelu.
11 When Solomon had finished the house of the LORD and the royal palace, successfully carrying out all that was in his heart to do for the house of the LORD and for his own palace,
Tako je Salomon končal Gospodovo hišo in kraljevo hišo in vse, kar je prišlo v Salomonovo srce, da naredi v Gospodovi hiši in v svoji lastni hiši, je uspešno izvršil.
12 the LORD appeared to him at night and said to him: “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.
Gospod se je Salomonu prikazal ponoči in mu rekel: »Slišal sem tvojo molitev in ta kraj sem izbral zase, za hišo klavne daritve.
13 If I close the sky so there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send a plague among My people,
Če zaprem nebo, da ne bo dežja ali če zapovem kobilicam, da požrejo deželo ali če med svoje ljudstvo pošljem kužno bolezen,
14 and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
če se bo moje ljudstvo, ki je imenovano po mojem imenu, ponižalo, molilo, iskalo moj obraz in se odvrnilo od svojih zlobnih poti, takrat bom prisluhnil iz nebes, odpustil njihov greh in ozdravil njihovo deželo.
15 Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.
Sedaj bodo moje oči odprte in moja ušesa pozorna na molitev, ki je narejena na tem kraju.
16 For I have now chosen and consecrated this temple so that My Name may be there forever. My eyes and My heart will be there for all time.
Kajti sedaj sem izbral in posvetil to hišo, da bo moje ime lahko tam na veke. Moje oči in moje srce bodo neprestano tam.
17 And as for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, doing all I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and ordinances,
Kar se tiče tebe, če hočeš hoditi pred menoj, kakor je hodil tvoj oče David in storiti glede na vse, kar sem ti zapovedal in boš obeleževal moje zakone in moje sodbe,
18 then I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted with your father David when I said, ‘You will never fail to have a man to rule over Israel.’
tedaj bom utrdil prestol tvojega kraljestva, glede na to, kakor sem se zavezal s tvojim očetom Davidom, rekoč: ›Ne bo ti manjkal mož, da bi bil vladar v Izraelu.‹
19 But if you turn away and forsake the statutes and commandments I have set before you, and if you go off to serve and worship other gods,
Toda če se odvrnete in zapustite moje zakone in moje zapovedi, ki sem jih postavil pred vas in boste šli ter služili drugim bogovom in jih oboževali,
20 then I will uproot Israel from the soil I have given them, and I will banish from My presence this temple I have sanctified for My Name. I will make it an object of scorn and ridicule among all the peoples.
potem jih bom s koreninami izpulil iz svoje dežele, ki sem jim jo dal in to hišo, ki sem jo posvetil za svoje ime, bom vrgel iz svojega pogleda in jo naredil, da bo pregovor in tarča posmeha med vsemi narodi.
21 And when this temple has become a heap of rubble, all who pass by it will be appalled and say, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’
Ta hiša, ki je visoka, bo osuplost vsakemu, ki gre mimo nje, tako da bo rekel: ›Zakaj je Gospod tako storil tej deželi in tej hiši?‹
22 And others will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—because of this, He has brought all this disaster upon them.’”
To bo odgovor: ›Ker so zapustili Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov, ki jih je privedel ven iz egiptovske dežele in se prijeli drugih bogov, jih oboževali in jim služili. Zato je nanje privedel vse to zlo.‹
