2 Chronicles 2
1 Solomon ordered the building of a Temple to honor the Lord and a royal palace for himself.
Salomon naumi sagraditi Dom - jedan Imenu Jahvinu, a drugi sebi za kraljevski dvorac.
2 He allocated 70,000 men as laborers, 80,000 as stone cutters in the mountains, and 3,600 as foremen.
Odbroji sedamdeset tisuća nosača, osamdeset tisuća kamenolomaca u gori i tri tisuće i šest stotina poslovođa.
3 Solomon sent a message to Hiram, king of Tyre, telling him,
Tada posla ovu poruku Hiramu, tirskomu kralju: “Kao što si mome ocu Davidu slao cedrovine da gradi dvor gdje će živjeti, tako učini i meni.
4 “Please do as you did with my father David when you sent him cedar timber for him to build a palace to live in. I'm about to start building a Temple to honor the Lord my God, dedicated to him, where he will be offered sweet-smelling incense, where the showbread will be always set out in rows, and where burnt offerings will be made every morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, at new moon festivals, and at the feasts of the Lord our God—this to be done forever in Israel.
Kanim podići Dom Imenu Jahve, svojega Boga, i posvetiti mu ga da se diže pred njim miomirisni kad, da se uvijek postavljaju kruhovi, da se prinose paljenice jutrom i večerom, subotom, na dane mlađaka i na blagdane Jahve, Boga našega; i tako da zauvijek ostane u Izraelu.
5 This Temple I am about to build must be impressive, because our God is greater than all gods.
Dom koji gradim bit će velik, jer je naš Bog najveći među svim bozima.
6 But who can build a Temple for him to live in, for the heavens, even highest heaven, cannot contain him, and who am I that I should dare to build him a house, except to burn incense to him?
TÓa tko bi imao dovoljno snage da njemu sazda Dom kad ga ni nebesa, ni nebesa nad nebesima ne mogu obuhvatiti? I tko sam ja da mu zidam Dom, osim zato da mu se kad diže pred lice?
7 So please send me a master craftsman who is skilled in working with gold, silver, bronze, and iron; and in purple, scarlet, and blue fabrics. He must also know how to engrave, working together with my expert craftsmen from Judea and Jerusalem provided by my father David.
Pošalji mi čovjeka vična obradi zlata, srebra, tuča, željeza, grimiza, karmezina i ljubičastog baršuna, i vična umjetnosti rezbarstva: radit će s rukotvorcima kod mene u Judi i u Jeruzalemu, s onima što mi ih ostavi moj otac David.
8 Also send me cedar, cypress, and algum timber from Lebanon, for I know that your workers are skillful in cutting down the trees of Lebanon. I will send men to help your workers
Pošalji mi iz Libanona cedrovine, čempresovine i sandalovine, jer znam da tvoje sluge umiju sjeći libanonska stabla. Moje će sluge raditi s tvojima.
9 to produce a large quantity of timber because the Temple I'm building will be really large and very impressive.
Morat će mi pripraviti mnogo drva, jer će kuća što je mislim graditi biti velika i veličanstvena.
10 I will pay your workers, the wood-cutters, 20,000 cors of crushed wheat, 20,000 cors of barley, 20,000 baths of wine, and 20,000 baths of olive oil.”
Drvosječama što će obarati stabla dajem dvadeset tisuća kora pšenice, dvadeset tisuća kora ječma, dvadeset tisuća bata vina i dvadeset tisuća bata ulja za izdržavanje tvojih slugu.”
11 King Hiram of Tyre responded to Solomon by letter: “It's because the Lord loves his people that he has made you their king.”
Hiram, tirski kralj, odgovori pismom što ga posla Salomonu: “Zato što voli svoj narod, Jahve te zakraljio nad njim.”
12 Hiram went on, “Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth! He has given King David a wise son with insight and understanding who is going to build a Temple for the Lord and a royal palace for himself.
Dometnu još i ovo: “Neka je blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, koji je stvorio nebesa i zemlju. On je kralju Davidu dao mudra, pametna i umna sina koji će jedan dom graditi Jahvi, a drugi sebi da iz njega kraljuje.
13 I'm sending you Hiram-Abi, a master craftsman who knows and understands what he's doing.
Stoga ti šaljem čovjeka mudra, vješta i razumna, Hurama Abija,
14 His mother is from the tribe of Dan and his father is from Tyre. He's an expert in working with gold and silver, bronze and iron, stone and wood, purple, blue, and crimson fabric, and fine linen. He can do all kinds of engraving and can make any design he's given. He'll work with your craftsmen and with the craftsmen of my lord, your father David.
sina jedne Danovke i oca Tirca. Umije obrađivati zlato, srebro, tuč, željezo, kamen, drvo, grimiz, ljubičasti baršun, bÓez i karmezin, umije rezbariti svakovrsne rezbarije i zamisliti svako djelo koje mu se povjeri. On će raditi s tvojim umjetnicima i umjetnicima moga gospodara Davida, tvoga oca.
15 Now my lord, please send to us his servants the wheat, barley, olive oil, and wine he spoke about.
Neka, dakle, sada moj gospodar svojim slugama pošalje pšenice, ječma, ulja i vina kako je obećao.
16 We will cut all timber you need from Lebanon and take it to you by sea in rafts to Joppa. From there you can transport it to Jerusalem.”
A mi ćemo nasjeći stabala s Libanona koliko ti god treba i dovest ćemo ti ih na splavima morem u Jafu, a ti ih prevezi gore u Jeruzalem.”
17 Solomon had a census taken of all the foreigners in the land of Israel, like the census his father David had conducted, and found there were 153,600.
Salomon pobroji sve strance koji se zatekoše u Izraelovoj zemlji poslije popisa što ga bijaše proveo njegov otac David i nađe ih sto pedeset tri tisuće i šest stotina.
18 He allocated 70,000 as laborers, 80,000 as stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 as foremen.
Od njih odredi sedamdeset tisuća nosača, osamdeset tisuća tesara u planini, tri tisuće i šest stotina ljudi da upravljaju radom naroda.
