2 Chronicles 6
1 Then Solomon said, O Lord, to the sun you have given the heaven for a living-place, but your living-place was not seen by men,
Tada reče Salomon: “Jahve odluči prebivati u tmastu oblaku,
2 So I have made for you a living-place, a house in which you may be for ever present.
a ja ti sagradih uzvišen Dom da u njemu prebivaš zauvijek.”
3 Then, turning his face about, the king gave a blessing to all the men of Israel; and they were all on their feet together.
I, okrenuvši se, kralj blagoslovi sav izraelski zbor, a sav je izraelski zbor stajao.
4 And he said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who himself gave his word to my father David, and with his strong hand has made his word come true, 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 From the day when I took my people out of the land of Egypt, no town in all the tribes of Israel has been marked out by me for the building of a house for the resting-place of my name; and I took no man to be a 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 made selection of Jerusalem, that my name might be there, and of 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 put up 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 David my father, You did well to have in your heart the desire to make a house for my name:
ali mu Jahve reče: 'Naumio si podići Dom Imenu mojem, i dobro učini,
9 But you yourself will not be the builder of the house; but your son, the offspring of your body, he it is who will put up a 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 And the Lord has kept his word; for I have taken my father David's place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel, as the Lord gave his word; and I have made 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 put the ark, in which is the agreement of the Lord, which he made with the people of Israel.
i namjestio Kovčeg u kojem je Savez što ga Jahve sklopi sa sinovima Izraelovim.”
12 Then he took his place in front of the altar of the Lord, all the men of Israel being present,
Tada Salomon stupi, u nazočnosti svega zbora Izraelova, pred žrtvenik Jahvin i raširi ruke.
13 (For Solomon had made a brass stage, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high, and had put it in the middle of the open space; on this he took his place and went down on his knees before all the meeting of Israel, stretching out his hands to 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 he said, O Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth; keeping faith and mercy unchanging for your servants, while they go in your ways 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 For you have kept the word which you gave to your servant David, my father; with your mouth you said it and with your hand you have made it come true 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 So now, O Lord, the God of Israel, let your word to your servant David, my father, come true, when you said, You will never be without a man to take his place before me on the seat of the kingdom of Israel; if only your children give attention to their ways, walking in my law, as you have done 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 So now, O Lord, the God of Israel, make your word come true which you said to your servant David.
Jahve, Bože Izraelov, neka se sada dakle ispuni obećanje koje si dao svome sluzi Davidu!
18 But is it truly possible that God may be housed with men on earth? see, heaven and the heaven of heavens are not wide enough to be your resting-place: how much less this house which I have made:
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 Still, let your heart be turned to the prayer of your servant and to his prayer for grace, O Lord my God, and give ear to the cry and the prayer which your servant makes 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 That your eyes may be open to this house day and night, to this place of which you have said that you would put your name there; to give ear to the prayer which your servant may make, turning to 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 And give ear to the prayers of your servant and of your people Israel, when they make their prayers, turning to this place; give ear from heaven your living-place; and hearing have mercy.
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 If a man does wrong to his neighbour and has to take an oath, and comes before your altar to take his oath in this house:
Ako tko zgriješi protiv bližnjega i bude mu naređeno da se zakune i zakletva dođe pred tvoj žrtvenik u ovom Domu,
23 Then let your ear be open in heaven, and be the judge of your servants, giving punishment to the wrongdoer, so that his sin may come on his head; and, by your decision, keeping from evil him who has done no wrong.
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 And if your people Israel are overcome in war, because of their sin against you; if they are turned to you again, honouring your name, making prayers and requesting your grace in this house:
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 give ear from heaven, and let the sin of your people Israel have forgiveness, and take them back again to the land which you gave to them and to 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 heaven is shut up and there is no rain, because of their sin against you: if they make prayers with their faces turned to this place, honouring your name and turning away from their sin when you send trouble on 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 give ear from heaven, so that the sin of your servants and the sin of your people Israel may have forgiveness, when you make clear to them the good way in which they are to go; and send rain on your land which you have given to your people for their heritage.
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 If there is no food in the land, if there is disease, if the fruits of the earth are damaged by heat or water, locust or worm; if their towns are shut in by their attackers: whatever trouble or whatever disease there may be:
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 Whatever prayer or request for your grace is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, whatever his trouble may be, whose hands are stretched out to this house:
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 Then give ear from heaven your living-place, answering with forgiveness, and give to every man, whose secret heart is open to you, the reward of all his ways; (for you, and you only, have knowledge of the hearts of the children 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 give you worship, walking in your ways, as long as they are living in the land which 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 man from a strange land, who is not of your people Israel but comes from a far country because of the glory of your name and your strong hand and your outstretched arm; when he comes to make his prayer, turning to this house:
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 give ear from heaven your living-place, and give him his desire, whatever it may be; so that all the peoples of the earth may have knowledge of your name, worshipping you as do your people Israel, and may see that this house which I have made is truly named 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 If your people go out to war against their attackers, by whatever way you may send them, if they make their prayers to you turning their faces to this town of yours and to this house which I have put up 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 give ear from heaven to their prayer and their cry for grace, and see right done to them.
usliši mu s neba molitvu i prošnju i učini mu pravdu.
36 If they do wrong against you, (for no man is without sin, ) and you are angry with them, and give them up into the power of those who are fighting against them, so that they take them away prisoners to a land far off 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 if they take thought, in the land where they are prisoners, turning again to you, crying out in prayer to you in that land, and saying, We are sinners, we have done wrong, we have done evil;
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 If with all their heart and soul they are turned again to you, in the land where they are prisoners, the land where they have been taken, and make their prayers, turning their eyes to their land which you gave to their fathers, and to the town which you took for yourself, and the house which I have made 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 give ear from heaven your living-place to their prayer and their cry, and see right done to them, answering with forgiveness your people who have done wrong 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, O my God, may your eyes be open and your ears awake to the prayers made in this place.
Sada, Bože moj, neka tvoje oči budu otvorene i tvoje uši pažljive na molitve na ovom mjestu!
41 Up! now, O Lord God, come back to your resting-place, you and the ark of your strength: let your priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints be glad in what is good.
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, let him whom you have taken for yourself never be given up by you: keep in mind your mercies to David your servant.
Bože Jahve, ne odvrati lica od svog pomazanika, spomeni se milostÄi što ih dade sluzi svome Davidu!”
